Alex Jones breaks down the corruption scandal involving disgraced former Governor of Illinois Rod Blagojevich and the FBI spying on him. Big Brother and MI5 are spying on every governor in the United States and the entire UK Parliament is being spied on too.
00:00:36.000The Queen has suspended the government again through her Director General of her property, of her Commonwealth.
00:00:45.000So Connie's joining us coming up later.
00:00:47.000We also have an expert on global piracy coming on the show with the massive increase in piracy in the Caribbean.
00:00:54.000uh... in on both sides of africa in the atlantic and into the uh...
00:00:59.000pacific there and into the indian sea as well we will be breaking all of that down today you know at the start of the show yesterday we had an exclusive hour-long interview with the former head of ISI and the general who led the attacks For the CIA against the Russians in that eight-year war in Afghanistan,
00:01:24.000the Afghan-Russian war, General Hamid Gul saying that 9-11 is an inside job, bin Laden tapes are fake, the U.S. government killed Benazir Bhutto, on and on and on and on and on.
00:01:39.000It was an unbelievable hour-long interview, and if I have time today, coming up in the fourth hour, I'm going to play some of the key clips, some of the most important clips from that interview, but we'll also have open phones later in the show when we discuss that.
00:02:00.000Obviously, everybody wants me to talk about the Governor of Illinois and what's happening with him.
00:02:11.000And I will do that when we get back after the break.
00:02:16.000Obama's honeymoon could be tainted by Ligoyevich's corruption scandal.
00:02:25.000Ligoyevich arrested on corruption charges after going up against Bank of America.
00:02:30.000You know, we mentioned this yesterday, and Kurt Nimmo's done a story about the fact that you had the governor of New York, Spitzer, go up against The big brokerage houses said they were involved in crime and derivatives and scams and you notice that the little bit of dirt on him got brought out instantly that the FBI was surveilling him.
00:03:08.000The entire US Congress is under surveillance, and it doesn't matter if you lead a completely spotless life, they can try to dig something up on you.
00:03:39.000That's why the guy's on the telephone, not caring, cussing, sounding like a gangster, saying, I'm gonna effin' get a lot of money for this.
00:04:50.000Well, he had shot his mouth off against Bank of America and other big banks, shutting down factories in the Chicago area and other areas of Illinois.
00:05:02.000I've told you for a long time it's important to be self-sufficient, and today that's more important than ever.
00:05:07.000We need to be independent, and food and water is the key.
00:05:10.000You'll never have to stand in a bread line if you have your own bread.
00:05:13.000You'll never have to go to the Superdome and beg for FEMA to take care of your family in any emergency if you simply prepare.
00:05:19.000Our elected representatives wanted a good old boy bailout for the special interest, so they ignored your screams not to do it.
00:05:25.000They turned off the telephones and email.
00:05:27.000They voted to print $850 billion at least out of thin air.
00:05:31.000This money now owns the American and European banks.
00:05:33.000The exploding inflation that is now guaranteed will slash your life savings to nothing and blast the cost of necessities, particularly food beyond many Americans'reach.
00:05:43.000In pre-Nazi Germany's superinflation, the cost of a loaf of bread doubled every two days until it reached over 4 billion marks.
00:05:54.000The private banks merging with our government are refusing to loan grocery stores enough money to restock their shelves.
00:06:00.000The stores have less food but jack up prices to stay in business.
00:06:03.000Whatever happens in America, we need to be prepared and be ready.
00:06:09.000One third of Americans have to choose between buying food and paying for other necessities.
00:06:13.000My friends, whatever it takes, get prepared, get self-sufficient, get food.
00:06:17.000For everybody out there listening, it's very important for you to understand that by having a supply of storable food, the government, the New World Order, has a lot less control over you.
00:06:24.000And so it's a mindset, a mindset of self-sufficiency and preparedness.
00:06:28.000No one is going to take care of your family in the final equation but you.
00:06:31.000You know eFoodsDirect.com is still able to ship storable food that's safe from E. coli, salmonella, genetic alteration, or Chinese imports.
00:06:38.000And they do it at almost half the cost of last year's grocery prices.

00:07:32.000Let's get into the Illinois governor a little bit more and what's clearly happening up there in Illinois.
00:07:40.000Then we have some other financial news that's very important.
00:07:43.000Treasury bills trade at negative rates as haven demand surges, but that's clearly long-term not going to be a haven.
00:07:52.000Deal reached in principle on $15 billion auto bailout.
00:07:57.000And the word being used is nationalization.
00:08:01.000Taking over the control of the auto companies and then literally forcing all sorts of new environmental regulations and taxes on the people.
00:08:13.000When you hear about Obama's New Deal, that means federal jobs.
00:08:17.000Most of the jobs you will work for a private corporation, so it'll be pure fascism.
00:08:21.000Private kingpins will get the money, and then they will hire you at a pittance.
00:08:34.000Also, as you know, about a day and a half ago, they announced that the tortured patsies confessed to 9-11.
00:08:48.000Meanwhile, Krauthammer and Barnes go on Fox News and call for indefinite detention of anyone the government wants to say is a terrorist.
00:08:59.000Now that's what the Military Commissions Act does.
00:09:01.000It says any U.S. citizen, any foreigner, anybody in the world can be secretly grabbed by snatch-and-grab black op teams.
00:09:08.000They grab you out of your house, a van pulls up, they put a hood over your head, throw you in a car, cattle prod you, throw you in a car, and you're never seen again.
00:09:19.000And it clearly states that any designate of the Secretary of Defense, of the President, any of their officers Uh, can declare you an enemy combatant and that there is then no due process.
00:09:31.000England, uh, you know, first came out and got a 10-day rule, then a 30-day rule, now they're up to 40-something days where they can secretly grab you.
00:09:39.000Uh, they're now grabbing the head of the immigration department under this, uh, a week ago, saying that he had leaked information about the government, but he is the government.
00:09:51.000They said, well, it was national security that the government had secretly legalized hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens.
00:09:58.000His concern was they hired 5,000 illegal aliens for high-security jobs in secret installations.
00:10:04.000Well, of course, they've got to have foreigners come into England, the United States, and everywhere else and oppress the people.
00:11:18.000Seven and a half weeks ago, on October 3rd, when the Congress had refused to pass the Banker Martial Law Takeover Bill, they were threatened with physical martial law, according to Senator Inhofe and two separate congressmen.
00:11:33.000We interviewed two of the congressmen here and played the clip of Inhofe on Oklahoma News Radio talking about it.
00:11:39.000The Senator, physical martial law was threatened.
00:12:04.000You know, Hitler could declare himself a dictator, it was illegitimate, but he had force du jour, force majeure, the most powerful force.
00:12:11.000They have guns backing up what they are saying and what they are doing.
00:12:16.000And it takes the people standing up in a unified front and saying, this is illegitimate, this is fraudulent, it takes government unions, it takes citizens, it takes organizations, it takes pastors, it takes people standing up and saying no.
00:12:30.000That's why, covertly, In the past several administrations, they have gone out and recruited pastors and prominent people and thousands of top CEOs for InfraGard and the FBI.
00:12:42.000Remember, that came out in mainstream news about 10 months ago.
00:12:45.000They were being prepared and the CEOs were giving press interviews saying, yes, under martial law, I'm allowed to shoot people.
00:12:53.000And my deputies are now secret FBI agents and we're allowed to shoot people and kill people.
00:12:59.000There's this giant secret army that's no longer secret, because as they prepare to use them, they have to unveil it in front of everyone.
00:13:13.000We need to do a new report on this, breaking it all down.
00:13:15.00020 plus thousand InfraGard CEOs and executives are secretly deputized FBI auxiliary under Homeland Security, preparing for martial law and to quote, shoot people.
00:13:30.000we have twenty six thousand preachers secretly trained now publicly admitted to train their flocks to go to fema camps turn their guns and take forced inoculations uh...
00:13:40.000threat integration fusion centers built in the late nineties under the government uh...
00:13:45.000hoax related hoax everybody you know the navy the pentagon saying that everything would shut down they use that uh...
00:13:52.000integrate new federal computer systems put in emergency bunkers in places like building seven in new york They have one right here in Austin, Texas.
00:13:59.000Those are really federalization centers.
00:14:01.000They're moving the National Guard, now federalized under NORTHCOM, under these threat integration centers or fusion centers, emergency management centers.
00:14:12.000Those are the three names they go under.
00:14:16.000The economy is being imploded by design right now.
00:14:20.000The economy has had all its liquidity and currency and credit cut off.
00:14:25.000While the banks, the private inner group of banks, over-capitalize themselves to be able to buy up the depressed assets.
00:14:34.000So that is what is currently happening right now on that front.
00:14:40.000That's some of the other news that is coming up.
00:14:44.000Meanwhile, in places like Iceland, in places like Argentina, in places like Greece, The public is rioting in mass, taking over police stations, taking over the government capital, taking over the private, same central banks, controlling them that control us.
00:15:08.000They are now into the sixth day, going into the sixth day of the establishment losing total control, with the police in many cases now standing down or joining uh...
00:15:22.000rioters you're going to see more and more of this is the army report said this year as the british ministry report said last year as they implode the economy as they bring us to our knees to try to socialize us and get us under their control uh...
00:15:36.000again it's fascist on the profit they they uh...
00:15:40.000they that they privatize profit and they make loss public you understand how that works Greek fighting, the Eurozone's weakest link starts to crack.
00:15:52.000And this is a article here in the London Telegraph by Ambrose Evans Pritchard.
00:16:01.000And he goes on to say, because of the European Union's tyranny, and because it's anti-democratic, because it's anti-democratic, he says all over Europe the people are going to rebel and basically rightfully I think?
00:16:26.000rehearse all the pros and cons of Euro membership yet again or debate the EMU is an optional currency area.
00:16:34.000There's obviously a problem for countries like Greece.
00:16:36.000That were let into the M.E.U., the E.M.U., for political reasons before the countries had been reformed to cope with the Euros and the rigors of Euro life over the long term.
00:16:48.000And there's an area in here where he talks about, um, that said, the riots are roughly what Eurosceptics expected to see at some point.
00:16:57.000At the periphery of the Eurozone as the slow burn effects, excuse the pun, of Europe's monetary union begin to corrode the democratic legitimacy of governments.
00:17:11.000And it goes on, and on, and on, and on, and on.
00:17:18.000Protesters clash with police during Athens rally, right?
00:17:22.000Police clash with demonstrators outside Parliament.
00:17:24.000Wednesday is the general strike paralyzed Greece, shutting down schools, hospitals, international flights, and raising pressure on the fragile government reeling from days of riots.
00:17:35.000The lawyers for the two officers accused in the fatal shooting of a teenager that sent off the unrest said ballistics show the 15-year-old was killed by ricochet and not shot at directly, though witnesses said the police has gunned him down.
00:17:48.000One officer has been charged with murder, and the other as an accomplice.
00:17:52.000But see, they didn't do that at first, so the people went crazy.
00:17:55.000And that's what's going to happen here.
00:18:02.000Speaking of psychology and people not being able to deal with reality, I don't know if this is a person who is just very stupid, but the way they wrote their little piece doesn't look like they're stupid.
00:18:15.000Or, whether these people are operatives.
00:18:18.000We know there are hundreds of thousands of paid disinformation people on message boards, on the comment sections of YouTube, going on InfoWars.
00:18:25.000I will see the same person, the same handle, on InfoWars, posting every five minutes, for eight and ten hour shifts, saying the same thing in every article.
00:18:36.000Saying I'm a liar, saying I'm a fed, saying I'm getting rich, saying it isn't true, saying it isn't real, saying we're lying, saying we're spinning.
00:18:50.000They'll even start fights with each other, but we can check the IP address to start diversions and distractions.
00:18:56.000When we come back, I want to go over, yes, they are denying that the Financial Times of London did a story called, and now for a world government.
00:20:25.000Fabled Enemies is the first 9-11 film to take a close look at the terrorist ties to intelligence networks inside the United States.
00:20:32.000Some U.S. investigators believe that there are Israelis again very much engaged in spying in and on the U.S. I'm aware that some Israeli citizens have been detained.
00:20:53.000Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists.

00:23:07.000Oh The Genesis Communications Radio Network proudly presents the Alex Jones Show.
00:23:15.000Because there's a war on for your mind.
00:23:19.000That's right, Monday through Friday, 11am to 3pm Central.
00:23:22.000We're here and back Sundays with an abbreviated news transmission from 4 to 6pm.
00:23:29.000Okay, I don't want to spend a lot of time on this, but I literally see scores of examples every day just on InfoWars.com and PrisonPlanet.com.
00:23:46.000Separately, he posted the first few paragraphs and a link to the article that came out two days ago and now for a world government from the Financial Times of London by their international editor, by their international affairs editor.
00:24:04.000And then he wrote a story about it, and did a screenshot at the top of the article of the news story, and then under it put a two-line paragraph link in international internet speak.
00:24:17.000Everybody knows that's the link to the story.
00:24:21.000In bold, it says, a jaw-dropping editorial written by the Financial Times chief foreign affairs commentator Gideon Reichman, edited, entitled, and now for a world government.
00:24:52.000Show the article in its entirety or put up a link.
00:24:55.000Well, we did show a screenshot of the article.
00:24:57.000We did have a link there as well as post just a link on the main page of the story itself.
00:25:03.000So show the article in its entirety or put up a link.
00:25:07.000Well, we did show a screenshot of the article and then put up a link.
00:25:11.000The people can read it and make up their own minds rather than hearing it from your biased view.
00:25:16.000So see, rather than address the fact that we did have a link to it, we did have a screenshot of it, it does say that, they will continue denying this is the policy.
00:25:28.000Remember folks, continuing, remember folks, Find the information for yourselves.
00:25:33.000Don't believe everything you read just because someone posted it on an internet website.
00:26:15.000hundreds of mainstream papers the wall street journal the times of london the financial times of london the french news agency their spiegel hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds in the last month have written articles saying there will be a new financial order a new world order where the world government will be run by a private group of banks and you'll pay carbon them but you see it doesn't matter the public sees these
00:26:44.000In mainstream news, but then still here's the media, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and these disinfo people running around saying it doesn't exist, it's not happening.
00:26:52.000It doesn't matter if I play 20, 30, 40 clips in a row of Gordon Brown and Nicholas Sarkozy and Merkel and everybody calling for a world government, a new world order.
00:27:09.000They say we didn't hear it, we didn't see it.
00:27:11.000Now that's a military tactic, to make you just be confused, to stand down, and then look in wonderment, instead of ever debating the issue of do we want a world government, as we go into one, we're having a debate about whether it exists.
00:27:25.000Now these same individuals, this same group of individuals, also go into the stories and say, you know, it broke, and here's the copy of my tip email, I've been plagiarized!
00:28:11.000What does it have to do with anything?
00:28:13.000Nothing! So the attacks against us are really intensifying, and they all have the same basic M.O. The truth is, we've been incredibly accurate.

00:32:12.000Who's really being attacked is the listeners of this radio show who are activists, who are out there spreading video links, educating people, putting out key information, pointing out hypocrisy, pointing out corruption.
00:32:26.000I notice that we post stories, links to the Washington Post, links to the very Defense Department directive put out two weeks ago by Gates on the 24th of November.
00:32:40.000Where they say they're abolishing the governors under federal control.
00:32:43.000The governors will just be federal officers at the pleasure of the president.
00:32:46.000They're going to use trips on the streets for civil insurrection, for crowd control.
00:33:10.000Knowing that right above it is all the links.
00:33:14.000Knowing that we told people about this 12 years ago, 10 years ago, 5 years ago, a year ago.
00:33:19.000Knowing that millions of people heard me on syndicated radio shows, thousands of interviews I've done, my own show, stations I'm on.
00:33:28.000Reading the news articles we wrote, watching the videos I made in 98, 99, 2000, knowing that people were going, whoa, this guy was really on the ball.
00:33:40.000This guy was paying attention to what the Pentagon said they were doing.
00:33:45.000They go into all our stories and say, these guys are lying.
00:33:55.000When it's been in the Houston Chronicle and the Associated Press and Newsmax and all over the news and But they built FEMA camps all over the country for civil insurrection, and they just say it's not true And then you follow their handles back They don't even hide that most of them are in army And we've seen cases where they're on their own myspace their Facebook in uniform with a psyop badge a psyop patch I
00:34:26.000think? And you go to their YouTube channels,
00:34:56.000you go to their websites, and it will be videos, we've pointed this out on air, of contractors sitting on the side of the highway shooting cars full of Iraqi families and laughing and playing Elvis music.
00:35:54.000I don't have time to police things, but when you hear me endorse a sponsor or product, it means I believe in it, I'm using it, I think it's a great deal.
00:36:06.000And Ted tries to police things with the sponsors he takes.
00:36:10.000I think you've noticed we've gotten a better caliber of sponsors.
00:36:13.000A lot of the sponsors that the network ends up taking separate from me, you'll hear on mainstream radio as well.
00:36:21.000But I routinely call Ted up and go, look, I did some investigation on this and Ted will refund their money and say, you're right, we're not going to take that.
00:37:06.000We were eating Mexican food last night, and I was sitting there with a little laptop reading news articles and government documents while I was While the guys at the office I took to eat were working.
00:37:19.000Well, while they were talking, I was working.
00:38:21.000And that said, I don't like fighting with people in our, quote, movement, or the old core of the movement.
00:38:26.000It's now so huge and becoming mainstream that most people won't even know what I'm talking about.
00:38:32.000But as I and my listeners wake up tens of millions of people every year, We wake people up to the New World Order, then they go do more research and fall into pitfalls with things that are dangerous.
00:38:44.000A few days ago I explained how the militias set you up.
00:38:50.000How thousands of people went to prison set up with feds leading militias where they go, we're secret, let's go hide out, let's build pipe bombs, let's talk about attacking the police, let's sneak around, let's do all of this.
00:39:42.000I'm going to do more shows on that because I have a responsibility to not just sit here and wake everybody up and have my listeners wake everybody up.
00:39:54.000And then just turn people loose without warning them about the pitfalls or about the rocks in the harbor.
00:40:00.000I'm trying to put some hazard buoys out here for people.
00:40:07.000Now, I've been through this hundreds of times.
00:40:10.000Every time I try to personally warn somebody, once they get into Patriot strawman arguments and filing bonds or telling the IRS that I owe you no money, give me all my back taxes back, or filing bonds claiming you're taking money out of the private Federal Reserve, you get con artists, scam artists, feds, but mainly con artists in this area, Or mentally ill people who are delusional and really believe what they're pushing.
00:40:37.000And then they get other folks who want to imagine, they always call it a new technology, has been developed and that this is the silver bullet and everything has been answered.
00:40:46.000And 99% of it is total, absolute bull.
00:41:03.000Now, just an example of this is last week the New York Daily News, in 90 minutes, was able to do the entire deed process to falsely stamp that they owned, and swear at the courthouse, that they owned the Empire State's building worth $2 billion.
00:41:23.000It was deeded to the New York Daily News.
00:41:27.000The New York Daily News then wrote an article about it and turned it back over to the rightful owners.
00:41:32.000The point is, just because you mail something into the IRS and get money back, just because you file a lien on a police officer, just because you file something on a judge, a lien on them, Just because something bad happens to them doesn't mean it's legitimate what you did.
00:41:53.000And nine times out of ten, you're gonna get SWAT teamed, you're gonna go to jail.
00:41:57.000And I've seen the smiley-faced, delusional people a million times say that isn't the case, and this technology's different, and they never give specifics, they claim all these cases, they never tell you when they won.
00:42:07.000It's always the same MO, and I hear it, I heard it here locally the last few weeks, and I just literally cringe.
00:42:18.000When I'm hearing it, because I have seen people go to jail, lose their houses, I've seen these other Patriot groups set up trust, and then rip people off, and I'm going to do a series for the next few months, every week, I'm going to spend hours on this, giving you specifics, and I want all the Connors to know, I am coming after you.
00:42:43.000You see, just because the mainstream media is lying and spinning, just because the government's corrupt and bad, doesn't then suddenly mean the public is perfect.
00:42:52.000Doesn't suddenly mean that, uh, no, no.
00:42:56.000Opportunists come in here and try to do a real, just a lot of bad things.
00:43:06.000Now, are there ways, like with George Gordon, or Larry Beecraft, or Tommy Cryer, Or, hundreds of other prominent lawyers, and Red Beckman, and Bill Benson, and all of these people, Bob Schultz.
00:43:38.000But they're doing it within the Constitution, within the Bill of Rights, showing how the government's violating the Bill of Rights Constitution, and even their own procedures and regs.
00:43:48.000Another guy that'll tell you about this is, um, Ralph Winterud.
00:43:58.000So I'm gonna have all the legitimate people on this show who actually can give you cases and success Where they've really been able to win, rather than delusion.
00:44:12.000Because, you know, people do all these bonds and revoking Federal Reserve bonds and all this stuff.
00:45:13.000There isn't any magic filing that works in magic patriot land.
00:45:18.000There's only true constitutional legal filings that will beat them, or it's best to know their tactics and the first time they visit you, disappear for a few months.
00:45:41.000And I've proven we know what we're talking about.
00:45:43.000And I've seen people bushwhacked by all this.
00:45:49.000You take Wesley Snipes getting bad advice.
00:45:52.000And then he finally got a real legal team and so got off on the major charges but got convicted on smaller ones.
00:45:59.000I'm telling you folks, you know, if you're not going to pay income taxes, and they are fraudulent, it does go to the private Federal Reserve, it is a scam, it is, we didn't have it until 1913, it should be abolished, that should be a political move.
00:46:13.000But they're going to try to replace it with a national sales tax, even worse.
00:46:21.000Now, if you're going to try to live humbly, And live on a family member's ranch or farm that does pay taxes and property taxes.
00:46:31.000And you want to just work at the local dry cleaner, the local hamburger place, and you want to live simply and not pay the devil the income tax, that's fine and dandy.
00:46:42.000They're just bringing in a World ID and World Cashless Society to try to block that.
00:48:20.000So if you want to choose that battle, I commend you and salute you, but just don't fall into all the patriot mythology.
00:48:27.000That, oh, you just file this piece of paper telling them you're a sovereign, and then you send in, you know, the bond and tell them, give you back the money.
00:48:38.000And then now they're destroying common law, because under common law you have this incredible power to declare yourself and to go make filings, and that was honored.
00:48:48.000But with that power, you can steal the Empire States Building.
00:48:51.000With that power, you can, yeah, you can wreck a cop's life.
00:48:55.000But the point is, it was fraudulent what you did, and then that lets the system demonize the common law and start removing it and replacing it with pure administrative.
00:49:06.000So the patriots are out there polluting the common law, misusing it, and destroying it.
00:49:12.000And I declare war on you fakes and frauds.
00:50:00.000Simply spray your plate once and you're done.
00:50:03.000Any photos of your license plate will appear overexposed, making them virtually unreadable.

00:53:24.000We've told you this is a buying opportunity.
00:53:26.000Ted Anderson, the owner of Genesis and Midas Resources, all there in the same building, has a whole group of gold coins.
00:53:33.000Uh... at deals you're not going to find anywhere else and yes ladies and gentlemen they have a limited amount that that have been sold out for six months of uh...
00:53:43.000the buffaloes but first come first serve on those uh...
00:53:48.000plenty of the british sovereigns the franks and even some american eagles at the price they were a week ago when ted bought them when it was seven forty it is now over eight hundred and climbing With the economy in free fall, things imploding, the dollar in trouble, world currency's in trouble, major remonetization.
00:54:09.000We're talking about devaluing global currencies coming up in January and February.
00:54:14.000Now is the time, with all that is happening, to convert some of your Federal Reserve notes or stocks into physically held gold and silver.
00:56:24.000And if you're listening to this on the AM and FM later in the day or the evening, or you're listening on the Internet in the evening or the podcast, Call.
00:56:30.000This deal is good through midnight central time, the 10th of December 2008.
00:59:25.000There are riots going on continually in Greenland, takeover of government buildings, Iceland, excuse me, in Argentina, in Greece, because of the banking implosion.
00:59:56.000Ted Anderson, you know, folks are insane if they don't get into gold and silver right now, especially when you've got it at, you said it's $813.
01:00:05.000I mean, that means you bought gold at $740 a week ago.
01:00:09.000So it's up by $60 and $13, $70 something bucks.
01:00:14.000And you're going to sell out of these coins very, very quickly, Ted.
01:00:17.000Yeah, I mean, we're selling out of everything real fast.
01:00:19.000That's what's been going on in the marketplace.
01:01:51.000notes. And then there's bills, and they come due every 30, 60, 90 days.
01:01:56.000And the reason why the yield is so far down on it is because everybody's trying to fly to cash.
01:02:00.000They want to put it in somewhere where they're going to know they're going to get their money out right away, and they don't have to worry about market fluctuations.
01:02:06.000Well then why would you buy when you have to pay a premium to get a treasury bill for the first time in history?
01:02:12.000Why would you buy that and then have the government physically hold it?
01:02:15.000Why wouldn't you just pull it out and have physical cash?
01:02:17.000They're looking for a place to park money for safety, and it's constitutional money.
01:02:22.000They have to put it somewhere, and U.S. Treasuries just happen to be...
01:02:24.000Well, we have the Congress talking about raiding pension funds and taxing them, so hold on to your wallets, folks.
01:02:31.000You need to get physical gold and silver.
01:02:33.000Ted has gold at $60-plus, under what it currently is, $800.
01:02:38.000686-2237. Fire out that list of coins again.
01:02:41.000Yeah, right now the British sovereign, 242.
01:04:09.000This money now owns the American and European banks.
01:04:11.000The exploding inflation that is now guaranteed will slash your life savings to nothing and blast the cost of necessities, particularly food, beyond many Americans' reach.
01:04:21.000In pre-Nazi Germany's superinflation, the cost of a loaf of bread doubled every two days, until it reached over 4 billion marks.
01:04:28.000Food prices are skyrocketing so fast, there seems as if there may be no end in sight.
01:04:32.000The private banks merging with our government are refusing to loan grocery stores enough money to restock their shelves.
01:04:38.000The stores have less food, but jack up prices to stay in business.
01:04:41.000Whatever happens in America, we need to be prepared and be ready.
01:04:54.000For everybody out there listening, it's very important for you to understand that by having a supply of storable food, the government, the New World Order, has a lot less control over you.
01:05:02.000And so it's a mindset, a mindset of self-sufficiency and preparedness.
01:05:09.000You know eFoodsDirect.com is still able to ship storable food that's safe from E. coli, salmonella, genetic alteration, or Chinese imports.
01:05:16.000And they do it at almost half the cost of last year's grocery prices.

01:05:59.000He's Alex Jones, on the GCN Radio Network.
01:06:03.000And now, live from Austin, Texas, Alex Jones.
01:06:08.000all over the world illegitimate governments are taking off the gloves and the public is rioting and defeating them from Iceland to Greece But it's too late.
01:06:21.000The bankers have already looted the country's drive.
01:06:24.000The Financial Times of London, as you know, reported two days ago, and now for a world government, was the headline, admitting that it is a tyrannical world government for your own good.
01:06:34.000There's also an article out of the London Telegraph today by Mr. Pritchard, admitting that people are rioting because the New World Order is tyrannical.
01:06:45.000And we see the same tyranny in Canada.
01:07:32.000And I wanted to reread this for you to Connie Fogel.
01:07:34.000Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper won a rare suspension of Parliament last Thursday, managing to avoid being ousted by opposition parties angry over the minority conservative government's economic plans.
01:07:43.000And an attempt to cut off party financing.
01:07:46.000Governor General Michelle John, the representative of Queen Elizabeth, Canada's head of state, agreed to Harper's request to shut down Parliament until January 26th.
01:07:58.000Parliament was reconvened just weeks ago after the October 14th election.
01:08:03.000Harper's request for the suspension was unprecedented.
01:08:05.000No Prime Minister had asked for Parliament to suspend To avoid a confidence vote in the House of Commons.
01:08:11.000Now, when we posted just the top couple paragraphs and link to this last week, people went into Infowars.com, PrisonPlanet.com, and they just said, Alex Jones is a liar, the Queen doesn't run anything, the Parliament runs everything, this is a lie.
01:08:29.000Just like we posted the article, and now for a global government.
01:08:33.000People went into the comments and said, it's not real, that article doesn't exist.
01:08:36.000Direct link to The Financial Times of London, saying world government's real, saying it's tyrannical, and saying it's a good idea.
01:08:45.000I mean, this is mental illness, ladies and gentlemen, or these are disinfo operatives.
01:08:50.000Of course, Connie Fogel and the Canadian Action Party have caught police dressing up as anarchists and attacking other police.
01:08:55.000That made national news earlier this year.
01:08:58.000They've got out a new article, Canadian Prime Minister Suspends Parliament Again.
01:09:02.000And just to let you know who Connie Fogel is, she's a great lady.
01:09:06.000As a former leader of the Canadian Action Party, a lawyer and former teacher, Fogle lives in Vancouver, British Columbia, where her late husband, Harry Rankin, was a long-time progressive city councillor.
01:09:18.000She's an anti-globalization activist and was an opponent of the multi-trilateral agreement on investment for the North American Free Trade Agreement.
01:09:28.000She has also been active with the Canadian Liberty Committee, and it goes on and on.
01:09:32.000But Connie, good to have you on with us.
01:10:07.000It also means maybe having to take a tough stand and really having to fight somewhere.
01:10:10.000Yeah, facing that you really live in a puppet dictatorship under an imperial governor and that the queen really runs things and that you're still under a queen is hard to deal with.
01:10:20.000People don't want to face that and the reality of just exactly what's happened is pretty shocking and it goes even worse because What's just happened now is that the Liberals have changed their leadership.
01:10:32.000Just instantly, there was going to be a leadership change come May, but they got rid of Dion, who was the person that was supportive of the cooperation and the coalition to get rid of the Harper minority government.
01:10:45.000Now they've put Ignatieff in, who is a, he's a globalist, he's probably a Harperite as well, and they're now going to sit down, the two of them, and there probably won't be a coalition to defeat I don't know.
01:10:56.000that is to move the minority opposition forces in power.
01:10:59.000It's very interesting when you have these minority governments, you know.
01:11:01.000They can be quite democratic, but what we see happening here is that the people that are in the elected positions, they've got to the point where they're so greedy, they're so arrogant, they just have such an abuse of the people's wish.
01:11:16.000That they just go along and do what they can manage to do, and what they've done here in the Liberal Party, they've put a leader in without going to their own membership.
01:11:24.000Let's stop there and explain how this works.
01:11:26.000What happens is, once nations start going down into corruption, there's then a snatching and grabbing phase, where they know everything's imploding, so they're just stealing everything that's not nailed down, including the kitchen sink.
01:11:38.000And so, because it revealed that the Queen really runs things, that the Governor General really runs things, They have to go in now and take over the Liberals that were trying to rightfully take control of the government.
01:11:50.000So they're having to go in now and take those guys over to then create the illusion that the power structure has been defeated.
01:11:58.000Yeah, but of course what it is is all complicity with the power structure.
01:12:02.000And it's really disgusting and disgraceful.
01:12:06.000Unfortunately in Canada, the Canadians are so much more Canadians are slow to really take action and to fight, you know?
01:12:20.000I mean, I have a lot of respect for the citizens of the United States.
01:12:23.000Maybe you'll complain about them, I know.
01:12:25.000But on the other hand, you've got stuff written right in your constitution that's very strong, and you've got groups and organizations in the United States, and you're an example of the power in the United States of the people where you really are doing some powerfully good stuff in terms of resistance.
01:12:38.000We don't have that kind of strength happening.
01:12:40.000The little tiny voice of the Canadian Action Party was the strongest that there has been.
01:13:24.000And then the public is so Mind-controlled that they were previously told it didn't exist.
01:13:29.000So they say no no No, you do not have a link on your website to the Financial Times.
01:13:35.000You are a liar I mean you talk about willful delusion.
01:13:40.000I know I know but you know At one level you can't blame human beings for wanting things to be nice on the other thing.
01:13:49.000It's a really wonderful Reality that there are people like you and like me who will speak out and we are We are way out in front of the other people in terms of following what's going on and knowing and seeing what's really going on, and that scares people.
01:14:00.000I mean, I've had people tell me, I don't want to hear that, you're scaring me, go away, leave me alone.
01:14:06.000Well, they should be scared of not doing anything and the bad guys winning.
01:14:10.000I don't think they know what a world government means.
01:14:14.000But the important thing is that you continue to talk, I continue to talk, and eventually I've had people come to me and say, like a year later or two later, years later, after something they said, when you said such and such, At that time, I didn't agree with you, and I didn't vote for you, and I'm so embarrassed and so ashamed that I want to apologize now.
01:14:29.000I mean, they do learn, they do grow, and that's the importance and the value of the work that you're doing.
01:14:34.000Yes, and we've now gotten to the point where they're just removing the Velvet Glove off the Iron Fist worldwide and saying, okay, it's tyranny, and we run things and you don't.
01:14:45.000Like you said in that video, I've seen where you, you know, you stand up and you say, you don't own the world, you don't think, we're not going to let you, and that has to continue.
01:14:53.000What have Canadians said, and then of course plug the website so Canadians can, you know, join you and fight back, and really you are one of the only, you know, mainline groups that's eloquently fighting.
01:15:02.000What did they say six months ago when it was all over Canadian papers, that yes, US troops will be used here, yes, we will police the Americans, yes, we're in a North American system, Yes, Northcom is basically running Canada.
01:15:34.000And I think most people still do not know what we're talking about.
01:15:38.000This business of the military of each country going into the other, it's really worrisome in terms of what might be shaping up right away and could happen in January.
01:15:47.000So, the crunch is there, and gosh, you hate to be the bad guy, the deliverer of bad news all the time, but on the other hand, I keep going back to the point that it's important, it's important that people must not be afraid and they must realize that the only thing that's going to make any difference for their lives is for their own courage to take hold.
01:16:05.000What are mainline Canadians saying about the Queen openly ruling?
01:16:14.000There's groups that don't, large numbers who don't, but the idea of having the Queen in there as the final voice in our things has been something that's been part of our system forever, and nobody's...
01:16:24.000They're not a significant force moving to change that, because she's basically been a figurehead, but when you see something like this happening, which again, Most people won't understand its significance.
01:16:35.000You've hit the nail on the head, especially when you go back to the One World Order and the power of the Queen of England in that One World Order thing.
01:18:04.000Now, Survival of Seeds introduces their Escape the Beast Kit.

01:21:46.000us win this battle name five minutes we've got left on the website for the health for this parliament situation with the king the queen openly ruling
01:22:09.000Canadian Action Party website is www.canadianactionparty.ca It's an interesting situation happening in Canada for everybody to watch as we see the state of our parliament now being such as really not representing the people at all.
01:22:28.000I'm worried very much about the military move back and forth between the two countries.
01:22:32.000I just got a notice there are some military in Canada, our own military are on our streets in some places, but we never have seen that before.
01:22:39.000You've many articles from coming from the States talking about the military being in the streets in the United States.
01:22:44.000So I think the disarray in our Parliament is perfect for another major something happening To be able to really get into the emergency measures kind of action that have been put in place under the Security and Prosperity Partnership Agreement between Canada, the United States and Mexico.
01:23:02.000And a false flag, terrible something happening in the United States, probably at the time of Obama's inauguration.
01:23:08.000So people have to be alert, people have to be on guard.
01:23:10.000And the last thing I want to say is in relation to an ad that you just had on there, the health movement, the alternative health movement, the supplements are so necessary for us to fight against The impact on us, the attacks on us actually, in the chemtrails and all sorts of things that are used to demobilize us and to make it impossible for us to be strong, to be able to resist what's going to happen when we're coming down the pike.
01:23:33.000Absolutely. How do folks get involved with the Canadian Action Party?
01:23:37.000Well, they can go to our website, that's the best way, and they can just click on a dot in there and they can ask to be a contact person or to be contacted or they can ask to To be a member, it's right in there on the homepage.
01:23:50.000Getting into population reduction, that is their stated official UN endgame, and you mentioned that, your take on where all this is going.
01:24:01.000Yes, yes, and that's why I'm also saying the alternative, the supplements, to stay strong on that, because the whole depopulation thing, there's been a lot of talk about that for a long time, as you know, with Brzezinski talking about that a long time ago.
01:24:13.000And I think this whole pressure of the attack on these supplements is to prevent people from having natural ways to protect themselves and keep their own immune system strong.
01:24:26.000That's going to be, I think, the subtle attack on us.
01:24:28.000It's not going to be some sort of blatant, violent coming down on us by military and police force.
01:24:35.000It's going to be the whole health thing.
01:24:44.000So that's the thing, people stay strong, keep your supplements, get involved in that movement to prevent them from making it impossible for us to have access to those supplements, wanting to make them totally illegal, be illegal even to grow blueberries in your yard.
01:24:56.000So that's a big, we have to protect ourselves.
01:24:59.000Yeah, that's in the Codex Alimentarius.
01:25:01.000Right. And they're now raiding Amish milk producers.
01:25:05.000Right. Co-ops that grow organic food, they're arresting them.
01:25:55.000So the leadership of the liberals that was actually fighting is now being removed.
01:26:00.000Well, the leadership of the Liberals, that's right, the people that were in the leadership under Dion, who were wanting to cooperate with the rest of the opposition parties, has been removed and they've put into the leadership of the Liberals a person who is a New World Ignatief.
01:26:16.000Let's be clear, in the Parliament with multiple parties, not just two, there was a coalition government forming.
01:26:23.000The people's representatives were saying, get rid of Harper, we're going to go in another direction.
01:26:34.000What Harper did is he goes into the Queen's representative here and says, I don't Dionne went in and said the group of us that are in the minority,
01:27:02.000we're together more than Harper's group and we want to take over and we have the confidence of the Parliament.
01:29:02.000Fabled Enemies is the first 9-11 film to take a close look at the terrorist ties to intelligence networks inside the United States.
01:29:10.000Some U.S. investigators believe that there are Israelis again very much engaged in spying in and on the U.S. I'm aware that some Israeli citizens have been detained.
01:29:21.000Bin Laden's connections to the CIA, the hijackers'ties to the FBI, the Saudi Arabian connection, the Israeli intelligence network, Warnings and War Games, the shadow government, and much, much more.
01:29:31.000Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists.
01:29:50.000We're entering a holiday season never before seen in America.
01:29:53.000We're thankful for the warning given by members of Mr. Obama's campaign team of the coming international incident which will force unpopular decisions.
01:30:02.000Without this warning, many of us who still have money available would have unknowingly wasted it on Christmas gifts that will be useless when the only food available is in a government breadline.
01:30:12.000When the President is faced with the expected national security incident, The in-place Patriot legislation will control transport and distribution of food.
01:30:21.000Those of us who are able to take care of ourselves must put in supplies of food.
01:30:25.000This will free up the relief organizations to give food to those unable or not smart enough to prepare.
01:30:31.000The greatest gift this Christmas is life itself.
01:31:56.000We also have the 24-hour-a-day streams.
01:31:58.000When the show's over after four hours, so the 20 hours, we restream it until we are back live.
01:32:05.000For those of you who do live, special reports at prisonplanet.tv and on the streams only, not on the AM and FM dial, Global 4Wave and satellite.
01:32:15.000We're going to be talking to Captain Kelly Sweeney.
01:32:20.000Coming up, I heard him on coast to coast, very, very informative a few months ago.
01:32:25.000And since he's been talking about the rampant piracy increasing and the chaos on the high seas, very close to shutting down major marine highways, in and out of the Suez Canal, and of course, further away, the Straits of Hormuz.
01:32:39.000We'll get into all of that with him today with all the rampant piracy and now the call for a new world order, law of the sea, international body out patrolling and taxing everyone and killing the freedom of the seas instead of having the regional coalitions defending themselves against Somali pirates and others.
01:32:58.000But piracy is up in the Caribbean, it's up in the South China Sea, it's up all over the Pacific, it's up all over both coasts of Africa, of course on the Horn of Africa, over by Somalia they're going out.
01:33:08.000In some cases now, a thousand miles I was reading.
01:33:12.000So we'll be talking to him coming up in just one moment for an hour.
01:33:15.000Coming up in the next half hour, we're going to open the phones up at 1-800-259-9231.
01:33:22.000But we're doing that right now to specifically talk about piracy.
01:33:26.000But before we do that, I wanted to encourage the listeners to give the gift of knowledge this Christmas, this holiday season.
01:33:34.000PrisonPlanet.tv, all 20 of my films and several films I produced, Scores of other films have been authorized to post.
01:33:41.000Hundreds and hundreds of my weekly TV reports.
01:33:43.000Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of in-studio live feeds we've done.
01:35:34.000My present to you when you sign up for it, because the present is, then you can give it to folks.
01:35:38.000We've, uh, expanded the number of people that can use the same passcode at PrisonPlanet.TV.
01:35:44.000I don't have to recap for people that there's daily piracy, uh, a few weeks ago of a ship coming out of Saudi Arabia, three times the size of our largest aircraft carriers, worth, um, close to a billion dollars.
01:35:58.000I know that even in the Gulf of Mexico there's been some robberies, not to mention the Caribbean.
01:36:04.000I know in the South China Sea, I know in the ocean between Japan and China, it is just rampant.
01:36:11.000I know all over the world it is massively intensifying, because I know a lot of mariners who go out for half the year, nine months out of the year, who live in Houston, live in Austin, and I talk to them about what they're dealing with, and so we now go To a very interesting individual.
01:36:26.000Captain Kelly Sweeney is a master mariner, holding the highest captain's license, the Coast Guard issues to commercial mariners.
01:36:32.000He graduated from the California Maritime Academy in 1983 with a bachelor's science degree in nautical industrial technology.
01:36:38.000Captain Sweeney has worked on oil tankers, container ships, it goes on, oceanographic ships, high-speed passenger vessels, large oil spill response vessels, fish processing ships, ocean-going tugboats, a car carrier, a crew boat, Uh, he was a officer on a U.S. flag tanker which was attacked off the Rio, uh, Hanino, pronounce that right, Dominican Republic, on Christmas night, 2003.
01:37:04.000In addition to his career as a mariner, Captain Sweeney is also an experienced professional rider.
01:37:09.000He's a columnist for the widely circulated maritime magazine, Professional Mariner.
01:37:13.000and is the author of the maritime book from the bridge with his wife Frances captain Sweeney also operates maritime headhunters a maritime job placement and maritime career counseling company and encourages our listeners in the maritime industry to contact them at maritime headhunters dot com maritime headhunters dot com two other links are professional mariner dot com and maritime headhunters dot com so it's good to welcome captain Sweeney master mariner Man,
01:37:42.000I just love the sea, but not as tough or smart as you guys, but I do admire your ancient profession, the true explorers.
01:38:02.000Okay, well, let's start with Christmas Night 2003.
01:38:06.000I was filling in at the request of a friend of mine.
01:38:10.000I was a watch officer on a ship, an asphalt tanker.
01:38:14.000We were Rio Jaina, Dominican Republic.
01:38:18.000And the Caribbean, a lot of people, they are the real pirates of the Caribbean.
01:38:22.000And Rio Jaina has definitely been designated as one of the high piracy areas.
01:38:27.000So the company hired two armed guards.
01:38:30.000Anybody who has my book from the bridge can see it.
01:38:32.000I think I can't remember what page, I think it's like page 92 or something.
01:38:35.000A buddy of mine, a sailor, took a picture of me with the two guards, Christmas Day, hours before we got attacked.
01:38:43.000In any case, the two armed guards are patrolling the vessel.
01:38:48.000It's midnight, right after midnight, and I was on the 12 to 4 watch, and all of a sudden, the two armed guards run by the cargo control room where I'm running the show, and I knew we'd been boarded.
01:39:00.000I hit the silent alarm, we locked down the ship, locked the engine room, I got my two sailors off the deck, and then I started going back towards the stern where the two armed guards were at.
01:39:46.000And then all of a sudden, more gunfire erupts, and again, silence.
01:39:54.000So I wait for a little while, and then I start easing my way back, and all of a sudden a flashlight goes on my face, and thank goodness it's one of the guards.
01:40:23.000Good. And he got shot, and the armed guards, in my opinion, saved the vessel.
01:40:29.000We got hit again before we left port, but it wasn't nearly as strong as the first one, the one when I was on there, on watch.
01:40:38.000But I really felt vulnerable and violated, because I was doing what I'd been paid to do since 1981, and that's work in the Merchant Marine, when I started school.
01:40:53.000We were, you know, pumping cargo, doing what merchant mariners do.
01:40:58.000And to have this thrown in my face enlightened me and really woke me up to the reality of armed attacks against merchant ships.
01:41:08.000And it's not Johnny Depp, it's not some fun-loving Pirates of the Caribbean ride in Disneyland.
01:42:07.000And I think it was because they were desperate.
01:42:10.000And they were trying to, you know, we were the main ship and port at that time.
01:42:14.000They were desperate, that's what I believe.
01:42:16.000Now, they're not just attacking big ships, and we're going to get into what's happening across the world now that this works, and how we need to get all these ships armed.
01:42:31.000But what I've been aware of for years is that, and what you don't hear as much about, is the sailboats, the yachts, the husband and wife out, getting robbed, especially in the Caribbean, and you never hear about it.
01:42:41.000Well, the reason you never hear about it is Companies who make money on recreational boaters traveling up and down, or people have this dream of retiring and we're going to sail around the world.
01:42:53.000You don't hear about that, but even as close to, you know, a few miles off the coast of San Diego in Mexican waters, armed robbery against recreational vehicles is rampant.
01:43:06.000At this point, recreational boaters are going in like flotillas.
01:43:11.000And if you go to any yacht club, especially ones that have a lot of people who are ocean sailors, they'll tell you the cutthroats along the coast of many of the places that are sought after.
01:43:24.000Islands in the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America, down to Costa Rica.
01:43:38.000Uh, yachtsmen, um, from New Zealand, a few years ago, was on a, uh, a racing yacht.
01:43:44.000And they were tied up, uh, actually they were at anchor in a river in Brazil, and they came aboard not knowing who this guy was, and they, uh, blew away the entire, him and the entire crew, and stole the, uh, the boat.
01:43:57.000I mean, you know, they, uh, you, you, uh, make a few little alterations, and you can, uh, get rid of it, sell the, sell the boat, uh, use it, live on it.
01:44:07.000And these yacht clubs don't advertise that you need to carry firepower and that you need to have somebody on watch.
01:44:50.000And so you have a port where you can't clear customs or immigration when you come in, let's say on a vacation, a recreational cruise, for example.
01:45:00.000If they find out that you have weapons, they won't let you in the country, or they'll impound your vessel and maybe arrest you.
01:45:07.000And so people come in unarmed because that's what the law says, and yet when they get attacked, what do they have?
01:45:13.000What we have on the ship is fire hoses against AK-47s and grenade launchers.
01:45:17.000What the recreational boaters have is even less.
01:45:20.000Well, we clearly need to change the laws, but going back to piracy in New York being founded by the Dutch to deal with pirates, the biggest pirate port in the world, You know, back in Captain Kidd's day, they were fencing the stolen goods and they wouldn't protect the people from pirates.
01:45:36.000So I've read that, and you're the expert, you can tell me that a lot of these third world countries and others actually work with the pirates and sometimes the local constabulary dress up and they're the ones out actually pirating.
01:45:48.000There was a very famous case, I think it's the Kuang We're good to go.
01:46:24.000And then sent the vessel out under a different name, under a different flag, and continued to work it.
01:46:44.000Yes, and actually what they found out was they, in that particular case, they did apprehend some of the pirates, and it turned out to be the local Uh, in that area, head customs official, uh, was the guy, the leader of the gang.
01:46:57.000Unbelievable. And so, uh, and yeah, so that's, yes, and in Somalia, because there's basically no government there, the, uh, local warlords are definitely, uh, in, uh, a relationship with...
01:47:09.000Well, we're going to cover all that, and maybe I'll keep it a little bit longer if you can do it.
01:47:35.000Even by International Maritime Organization announcement and analysis, half or maybe even more of the piracy attacks are never reported.
01:47:48.000Because shipping companies don't want to have their insurance rates raised.
01:47:52.000So they'll pay the ransom on the fly and in cash in a suitcase of $100 bills, U.S. bills, that's the most operandi, and not say anything, but it's a lot cheaper than having the insurance rates raised for their entire fleet so they don't report it.
01:48:09.000So even by international authorities, at least 50% of the attacks, and I think personally it's a lot more, Um, are not reported.
01:48:18.000So they're giving in to the terrorists, and that's what they are.
01:48:21.000They're giving in to the terrorists and it's getting worse.
01:48:24.000It's getting worse like you wouldn't believe.
01:48:57.000Heavy metals build up within the body over a period of time, causing poor health.
01:49:01.000However, with Keylorex, they can be mobilized and excreted in a safe and effective manner.
01:49:06.000Keylorex was developed based on Dr. Alan Greenberg's clinical experience with heavy metal poisoning during his 25 years of medical practice.
01:49:13.000Keylorex does not contain EDTA and is made from I think so.
01:49:46.000On September 11th, 2001, along with hundreds of my fellow troops, I went to ground zero.
01:50:40.000If we don't expose the government-sponsored terror, they're going to commit more acts and bring in martial law.
01:50:47.000The holidays are right around the corner.

01:53:44.000Let me tell you, the old style, quote-unquote, Is what we talked about with the bulk carrier where the guy's getting their beat to death on deck.
01:53:55.000But now, in Somalia, there's a new tactic that's spreading worldwide.
01:54:00.000The pirates in the Malacca Strait and South America are all glomming on to this because money is much easier to hide than a 1,100 foot ship full of cargo.
01:54:12.000But what they're doing now in Somalia with taking the ships and crews for ransom And basically holding them and getting the money dropped down in suitcases on the deck of $100 bills, American unmarked bills, is the new modus operandi.
01:54:28.000Now, when companies, Hammond, Haw, about paying the ransom, and right now there are hundreds of merchant mariners, I believe probably close to 300 or 400, whose lives are in the balance of whether companies are paying the ransom or not.
01:54:44.000They, uh, there was one Korean company that tested that, and they started, uh, well, we were not going to pay the ransom.
01:54:49.000They brought one of the crew members out, blew his head off, and tossed him over the side to make a point.
01:54:53.000Well, they're going to have incredible liability.
01:54:58.000Oh, they, uh, right now, uh, ransoms begin ransoms, and the pirates have extracted, uh, officially, $30 to $50 million just in the Somali area alone, and by one estimate, close to $150 million because a lot of it's hush-hush.
01:55:15.000But every time they get more ransom money, they get better equipment.
01:55:19.000Right now they're getting, as you pointed out in your introduction, the attacks are going farther and farther out to sea because the pirates are better equipped, they're purchasing faster and more modern vessels, excellent better weaponry, GPS surveillance.
01:55:35.000and they have what's called AIS, which is a radio-based technology.
01:55:39.000They're buying receivers where they can track the transmissions from the ships, and they're going to get more and more brazen, and they're going further and further out.
01:57:06.000Bin Laden's connections to the CIA, the hijacker's ties to the FBI, the Saudi Arabian connection, the Israeli intelligence network, warnings and war games, the shadow government, and much, much more.
01:58:10.000The whole rest of the hours we have time to take phone calls.
01:58:13.000He is Captain Kelly Sweeney, Master Mariner, author of the true story, From the Bridge.
01:58:20.000Back in 2003, on Christmas night, they were boarded and they had two armed security guards in that dangerous area on board the ship who blasted them and got them off the ship, killing at least one of them.
01:58:32.000Continuing, sir, with the 500% increase in piracy, where the hot spots are in the world, what we're really facing?
01:58:40.000Right now the big hot spot is what everybody's been reading about in the papers and hearing about, and that's the Gulf of Aden.
01:58:47.000This is one of the most important shipping lanes in the world.
01:58:53.00012% of the world's oil, go 21,000 vessels a year, go through here.
01:58:58.000It is the eastern entrance and exit to the Suez Canal.
01:59:04.000Our troops are supplied by ships that go through the Suez Canal through the Red Sea, around the Gulf of Aden and the Horn of Arabia, and then up to Iraq.
01:59:16.000And I actually have two friends over there right now who are doing it, who are supplying the troops, and actually a container ship, a maritime U.S. flight container ship was attacked just about a week and a half, two weeks ago.
01:59:29.000But it's a major supply line, and the oil from Saudi Arabia comes either along the coast, down around the Horn of Africa, or Uh, goes through the, uh, goes through the canal and therefore through this shipping line.
01:59:44.000But the, uh, and so that's the hotspot that we hear about, but it's not the only hotspot.
01:59:51.000In the Malacca Strait, over in the South China Sea, South America, as you pointed out in the Caribbean, there have been attacks in Haiti in the last few months, off of Haiti, on an automobile carrier that was attacked, an armed attack in port.
02:00:04.000In the Mediterranean, there was a, uh, a yacht It was attacked off of Italy a matter of months ago.
02:00:28.000But the, you know, that was a cruise ship that was attacked.
02:00:32.000And so it's rampant worldwide, and chaos is reigning at this point on the high seas, and the governments of the world, the militaries of the world, are unable to do what they need to do, and that is to make the waterways as safe as possible for merchant ships to go through.
02:00:51.000Merchant vessels, we're unarmed, we're civilian merchant mariners, and we don't have weaponry.
02:00:56.000I mean, merchant mariners are paid to take people back and forth, like on a ferry, and From one place to another.
02:01:04.000Whether it be oil, or whether it be, you know, ten Nike tennis shoes, or anything that people buy in the store that comes from overseas, by and large it comes by ship.
02:01:14.000And merchant mariners are the ones who take it.
02:01:19.000And as I said in the last segment, a lot of countries do not allow the personal ownership of weapons, and that restricts Being able to have armed merchant mariners, which is something I think we need to do.
02:01:39.000There's right now, the insurance rates have increased on the average of a size of, say, the ship of the Cirrus Star.
02:01:45.000$100,000 to $200,000 just for additional insurance to go through the Gulf of Aden.
02:01:50.000Private security forces are being hired by companies.
02:01:55.000To protect their vessels going through these areas.
02:01:59.000And at this point, I don't see any stop to it.
02:02:03.000What's going on right now is not putting any more than a minor dent in it.
02:02:07.000And I don't believe if we continue on, I'm not saying it might not mitigate it some, but it's certainly not going to cut it back or eliminate it by any stretch.
02:02:14.000All right, quick break, long segment coming up, Captain.
02:02:16.000I want to get into where you see this going and what other mariners and ship company managers, where they see it going.
02:02:24.000If it's up 500% on record, you're saying probably more like 1,000% in the last year.
02:02:44.000I've told you for a long time it's important to be self-sufficient, and today that's more important than ever.
02:02:49.000We need to be independent, and food and water is the key.
02:02:52.000You'll never have to stand in a bread line if you have your own bread.
02:02:55.000You'll never have to go to the Superdome and beg for FEMA to take care of your family in any emergency if you simply prepare.
02:03:01.000Our elected representatives wanted a good old boy bailout for the special interest, so they ignored your screams not to do it.
02:03:07.000They turned off the telephones and email.
02:03:09.000they voted to print eight hundred fifty billion dollars at least out of thin air.
02:03:13.000This money now owns the American and European banks.
02:03:15.000The exploding inflation that is now guaranteed will slash your life savings to nothing and blast the cost of necessities, particularly food beyond many Americans reach.
02:03:25.000In pre-Nazi Germany's super inflation, the cost of a loaf of bread doubled every two days until it reached over four billion marks.
02:03:36.000The private banks merging with our government are refusing to loan grocery stores enough money to restock their shelves.
02:03:42.000The stores have less food but jack up prices to stay in business.
02:03:45.000Whatever happens in America, we need to be prepared and be ready.
02:03:50.000One third of Americans have to choose between buying food and paying for other necessities.
02:03:54.000My friends, whatever it takes, get prepared, get self-sufficient, get food.
02:03:58.000And for everybody out there listening, it's very important for you to understand that by having a supply of storable food, the government, the New Old Order, has a lot less control over you.
02:04:06.000And so it's a mindset, a mindset of self-sufficiency and preparedness.
02:04:10.000No one is going to take care of your family in the final equation but you.
02:04:13.000You know eFoodsDirect.com is still able to ship storable food that's safe from E. coli, salmonella, genetic alteration, or Chinese imports.
02:04:20.000And they do it at almost half the cost of last year's grocery prices.
02:05:25.000What about the United Nations trying to push through the law of the Sea Treaty for global government to run 76% of the world's surface that is saltwater?
02:05:35.000Another 1% is freshwater, so 77% of the world's surface covered in water.
02:05:40.000This is a watery planet, a blue jewel, spinning and hurtling through the Milky Way galaxy in deep space.
02:05:49.000Arbiting a standard sun and all over this little jewel are mariners.
02:05:53.000They're the people that brought the Mayflower here.
02:05:56.000They're the folks that discovered with Leif Erikson when Europeans first discovered this continent.
02:06:02.000It was mariners from Polynesia and mariners from Asia that clearly didn't just come across the Bering Strait, but people Central and South America.
02:06:22.000All of this is so important, and 500% increase in what they admit piracy, really 1000% because less than half of the ships reported, because they don't want their insurance going up.
02:06:38.000Not to mention, all the people off the coast of California, people in the Gulf of Mexico, folks down in the Caribbean being robbed, being killed, and the media doesn't Report on it.
02:06:51.000Only when they murder some prominent person do you hear about it, and that's constantly going on.
02:06:56.000So, very, very dangerous, very, very rough.
02:06:59.000Madison Avenue tells all the rich yuppies to go out to sea, and then they don't come back.
02:07:03.000Not to mention the dangers of the sea itself.
02:07:05.000I'd like to talk about some of the storms you've been through, some of the things you've witnessed, the most concerned, the most white-knuckled you've ever been, why you got into being a mariner.
02:07:12.000Such a romantic thing, but so beautiful, but also so dangerous.
02:07:16.000But before we go there, let's continue with just how bad the piracy has gotten.
02:07:21.000If you want to call in, the toll-free number is 1-800-259-9231.
02:07:27.000We'd love to hear your stories as well, or other stories that you've heard.
02:07:31.000800-259-9231, and ways you think we can turn this around.
02:07:36.000So finishing up with just how prolific it's gotten, and then, how do we arm these ships?
02:07:42.000It's so bad that the head of the Naval Task Force in the Gulf of Aden He said yesterday that naval forces patrolling this area are not going to stop piracy.
02:08:05.000One of the problems with, and we hear a lot about sending ships down there, different naval ships going down there, and yes, they're patrolling, but we're talking about a huge area here.
02:08:15.000You know, we're talking needle in a haystack.
02:08:18.000And the bottom line is, there's no coordination between all these naval forces.
02:08:23.000Like, for example, the French have two frigates down there, and they are going to announce that we're going to give priority to French ships, French-owned or French-registered ships, to go through here.
02:08:34.000And everybody else has to line up and take a number, and then we'll take care of you.
02:08:37.000There's one opening in December, and there's one in January.
02:08:47.000There's no government in Somalia, basically.
02:08:49.000So they're working with warlords ashore, and they definitely, and that's why they like cash, because cash is a lot easier to dispose of than, let's say, you know, a container.
02:08:58.000Well, this would be easy, though, if they just did a month-long operation, put four or five AWACS up, track ships leaving, track where they were going.
02:09:06.000And then the minute they went after a ship, just go in and strafe it until it sinks.
02:09:11.000And you do that, they would quit real fast.
02:09:14.000Well, the problem is, we got the mariners on there.
02:09:17.000And me and my buddies, you know, my fellow shipmates, or my fellow mariners, are on board these ships.
02:09:24.000I mean, there have been so many examples in the last year and since, in the last few months, when pirates have taken ships in plain sight of U.S. naval vessels, That's the problem.
02:10:04.000You've got to have intelligence on the ground, and they can find out in five minutes who the pirate ships are, and then just blast them when they near the other ship.
02:10:12.000But then they'll say that you're killing people without due process.
02:10:15.000Well, that's right, and that's actually one of the things that I think is a major problem, is that when they, for example, they had some French commandos that came in after Le Ponant, that cruise vessel, was hit by pirates, I think it was in April of this year.
02:10:30.000They went into Somalia, actually landed in Somalia, and took six of the pirates that were identified in that attack.
02:10:37.000They brought them back to France, and then they said, well, now what?
02:11:01.000And of course, there's misinformation.
02:11:03.000It was recently reported, I think it was like two weeks ago, that the Indian Navy had sunk one of the pirate motherships.
02:11:10.000And there was a lot of cheering in shipping circles when that was reported.
02:11:15.000And well, what happened a few days later, the reports came out that no, that wasn't a pirate mothership.
02:11:21.000That was actually a Thai fishing trawler.
02:11:24.000And the 14 fishermen, all civilians who were on there, Are presumed dead and missing, because it wasn't a pirate mothership, it was actually a trawler that was controlled by pirates, and now it appears that the Indian Navy made a mistake and blew up a wrong vessel.
02:11:39.000What about the British success they just had?
02:11:42.000Well, the British have managed to, and there's been various repelling with military forces of pirates, mainly because of their proximity when the merchant ship is attacked.
02:11:55.000The other thing is, when ships are high out of the water, when they have a lot of freeboard, which is, you know, the amount of vessel above the waterline, when they have a lot of freeboard, it makes it very difficult, and fast vessels are difficult.
02:12:07.000The problem is, merchant vessels are not built in general for speed, they're built for economy.
02:12:13.000And so, like the Cirrus Star, which was taken, and that's, by the way, the largest commercial vessel ever taken by pirates in the history of our civilization.
02:12:22.000And that $100 million worth of oil that's on there right now, and that hijacked vehicle was actually bound for Texas, by the way.
02:12:29.000But when the pirates take the ship, it's slow.
02:12:45.000We know governments want a monopoly of force, a monopoly of power, so governments everywhere aren't letting merchant ships arm themselves.
02:12:54.000We need to have an international convention, of course they won't do this, an international convention where nations are signatories, people know it's a safe port, to allow heavy armaments to be put on ships and then sailors can choose if they want to have a training course And sign a liability waiver, and then sign on to ships that are armed or aren't armed.
02:13:15.000I mean, there's no way I'd go out to sea on a ship that didn't let me be armed, but I know they don't let you be armed, because you can't call at the ports.
02:13:22.000My last ship, I was working in Panama, which they've had some armed attack incidents against vessels going through the canal, waiting to go through the canal.
02:13:32.000And we were a slow-moving, 10-knot, 12-knot vessel.
02:13:38.000And we were an easy target, low to the water, and that's the way a lot of merchant ships are.
02:14:31.000weapons or even private recreational voter shouldn't have it all by the way that it might be because there are merchant vessels that are armed now zim container line which is the israeli container line and many of your listeners are probably either seen it as in container line ship or being zim containers on the highway being pulled by a truck uh...
02:14:50.000every one of those crew members on board a zim container line ship is armed with an uzi and they know how to use it They're officially in the National Guard, the Israeli National Guard.
02:16:00.000Well, I'm telling you, these bigger ships need barrettes mounted in housings that are waterproof, pop open.
02:16:06.000You need something where you can, you know, really take on these pirates.
02:16:10.000We need, we need to have something because what we have now is fire hoses and, uh, you know, I mean, fire, that's one of the big things that they have.
02:16:28.000It's called an LRAD and they have limited effectiveness, but yeah, pirates put earplugs and then, hey, then it doesn't bother them as much.
02:16:36.000Let's continue talking about the solution is not having a global government Taxing everybody and then they still won't keep you safe from the pirates.
02:17:07.000Fabled Enemies is the first 9-11 film to take a close look at the terrorist ties to intelligence networks inside the United States.
02:17:14.000Some U.S. investigators believe that there are Israelis again very much engaged in spying in and on the U.S. I'm aware that some Israeli citizens have been detained.
02:17:25.000Bin Laden's connections to the CIA, the hijackers'ties to the FBI, the Saudi Arabian connection, the Israeli Intelligence Network, Warnings and War Games, the shadow government, and much, much more.
02:17:35.000Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists.
02:17:50.000So you finally decided you're going to stock up and store food.

02:20:53.000Before our guest leaves us, we'll tell you about his websites again and his riveting book, From the Bridge.
02:20:59.000We'll talk more about solutions and how to organize the mariners together and their companies to have a real solution, not global government, law of the sea treaty, to tax everybody and put UN international ships on 76% of the Earth's surface, the water.
02:21:31.000I know it's been getting worse the last decade, to where now it's just become so profitable that more people are getting into the piracy business?
02:21:37.000Or how does the economy falling apart fit into that?
02:21:40.000Well, I think the global economy has something to do with it, but ships move regardless.
02:21:45.000I mean, you know, to get 95% of basically of the world's goods move over water from one place to another, but that are traded.
02:21:55.000So I think it has to do more with the success of the pirates.
02:21:58.000Success breeds success, and now it's spreading elsewhere.
02:22:00.000And actually, it's to the point now where shipping companies have said, we're going to go a different way.
02:22:07.000And so there are now companies, Marist Line is one of the, I think, the biggest shipping line in the world has announced That they are not going to send a number of their vessels through the Gulf of Aden and the Suez Canal anymore.
02:22:19.000They're going to go all the way around the Cape of Good Hope or all the way around Cape Horn to South America, around South America.
02:22:28.000And that will add incredible cost and danger.
02:22:30.000Absolutely. And the pirates might just ship their operations down there.
02:22:33.000When the shipping lanes increase down there, they're going to have to round the horn.
02:22:37.000They'll be maybe hanging out right there.
02:22:39.000And who pays ultimately is, obviously, we all know who that is, the consumer.
02:22:44.000We need to call for a letter of marks with the French, the US, the British, the Germans, the Russians, the Chinese, the Japanese, paying for a letter of mark to go out and hunt down the pirates.
02:22:59.000And of course, eggs will be broken in the process, but that's better than allowing world government to be set up through this.
02:23:07.000Well, I think what you hit the nail on the head was the arming merchant vessel.
02:23:11.000Because what saved us that night, on Christmas night 2003, when we were hit on my watch in Rio Haina, was those two armed guards who were able to fight back.
02:23:20.000Me, with my pipe wrench, I wasn't going to do much with what I had available.
02:23:26.000And a lot of merchant ships, their plan is to have a safe room where the crew can hide down in the steering gear.
02:23:32.000And hopefully not get killed by the pirates and then let them take over the ship and they all huddle into a safe room that's got food and water and supplies.
02:23:40.000And so we need to have, in my opinion, either armed guards on board the vessels or arm the merchant mariners.
02:23:51.000I've heard all kinds of arguments against it.
02:23:54.000Well, that's a lot less expensive than having to circumnavigate the globe.
02:24:35.000Well, that's what the Marines use, so...
02:24:37.000Yeah, and you know, we need to have that, and we need to have, uh, the military.
02:24:41.000I, you know, I have a lot of old friends who were old-timers in World War II during, uh, in the, you know, a lot of the convoys supplying the troops, whatever theater it was, in Europe or wherever.
02:24:52.000And they said, you know, we had military convoys, and the outside was the military vessels, and the inside was the merchant ships carrying the vital supplies, which is what we do, from one place to another.
02:25:03.000And I see it, at least in certain high-piracy areas, like the Malacca Strait or the Gulf of Aden, and maybe even in the Caribbean.
02:25:09.000Well, that's what the British East Indies and the Dutch East Indies, they would always have, they would go in convoys and always have a few military ships.
02:25:15.000That's right, and I think we need to do that.
02:25:16.000And right now it's unorganized, it's helter-skelter, and we're talking about a very large area.
02:25:21.000The Gulf of Mexico, What a great piracy target a drill ship is.
02:25:26.000I mean, you have a high-tech ship that is sitting there drilling, putting pipe into the, you know, to drill for oil out on the Outer Continental Shelf.
02:25:37.000It's just a sitting duck, and, you know, what a great target.
02:25:41.000You know, their merchant ships are a target worldwide, and the authorities are not doing it, you know, and so if we're not going to do it, I think we need to take care of it ourselves.
02:25:49.000You know, we have to have convoys through the most dangerous areas and organized convoys.
02:25:54.000Not helter-skelter where the French say, okay, well, you know, we can fit you in next January.
02:25:58.000You know, we just wanted to wait until then.
02:26:00.000We need to have organized convoys and we need to have armed merchant vessels or armed guards on merchant vessels.
02:26:06.000You know, what gives the pirates the upper hand is their weaponry.
02:26:13.000Absolutely, and it's very inexpensive.
02:26:15.000What, on the bigger ships, put five, six guards, smaller ships, just a couple guards.
02:26:19.000I mean, right there, that'll give you guys the edge to repulse these attacks, and then the pirates will go off and do something else.
02:26:25.000But if we let them keep robbing, they're going to build themselves up into an international combine, a global force, and then it's going to be even that much harder to deal with.
02:26:34.000We're going to take your calls from BL, John, Chris, Donna, and others.
02:26:40.000We're on the march, the Empire's on the run.
02:26:50.000Did you know that it's a documented fact 80% of all Americans and 85% of people around the world suffer from internal parasites and parasitic infection?
02:27:00.000You may be one of millions of people suffering from one of dozens of debilitating chronic diseases from these parasites and your doctor would never know it.
02:27:08.000In fact, clinically detected parasites account for only 1% of all cases.
02:27:13.000Don't continue to suffer from pain due to misdiagnosis.
02:27:15.000Now you can fight internal parasites, heavy metal poisoning, and high cholesterol.
02:28:53.000For the past several months, folks have constantly asked me to give them the date as to when they should be finished stocking up on food.
02:29:00.000We've been so beaten up by stock market banking, housing, and unemployment crashes that we're desensitized and frozen inactive like the frog being unknowingly cooked in gradually increasingly hot water.
02:29:15.000Former Secretary of State Colin Powell went on CBS Meet the Press and pointed to about January 22nd as the time a major international incident would force the new president to make unpopular decisions.
02:29:27.000Well, I take the general of this word and my best advice is to have your food in your possession prior to the inauguration.
02:29:33.000Contact efoodsdirect.com for your supplies prior to this deadline for disaster.
02:29:38.000Ask yourself, is it better to have too much too soon or too little too late?
02:29:43.000call eight hundred four zero nine five six three three or on the web he foods direct com Day after day, alone on a hill, the man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still.
02:30:09.000I'm going to cover news and take phone calls and play several key audio clips.
02:30:14.000They're proposing just having a warrantless arrest of the American people and indefinite for life secret detention.
02:30:46.000Listeners should move towards getting off the grid, and here's a good way to do just that.
02:30:50.000A solar power generator is now available from our longtime sponsor, Solutions from Science.
02:30:57.000It's designed to provide 1,800 watts of power on demand in the event of any disaster or outage.
02:31:04.000You can get an emergency power backup kit which consists of the power source 1800, power plant and high efficiency solar panel designed to provide endless electricity.
02:31:13.000That's right folks, it generates electricity for free.
02:31:15.000Remember too, the gas generators need gas.
02:31:18.000But in a blackout, gas pumps can't pump gas because they run on electricity as well.
02:31:23.000Plus there's the problems of storing fuel.
02:31:25.000The solar generator is like having a silent power plant hidden in your home.
02:31:28.000It's the perfect emergency backup for troubles.
02:31:31.000The government doesn't own the sun yet, folks, so make your move today.
02:32:28.000It's just an amazing system, and then it goes through five filters internally, passes through the activated carbon filter, the silver impregnated carbon filter, then the reverse osmosis system, the notation odor removal filter, and then it's stored in an illuminated tank by antibacterial antifungal UV light.
02:32:44.000E-C-O-L-O, that's a coloblue.com, E-C-O-L-O-B-L-U-E.com, or 866-585-4044, 866-585-4044.
02:32:56.000This is the future of water purification.
02:33:00.000Because it's hard to get fluoride out of a municipal tap.
02:33:02.000Some of the filters can do it, or reduce it.
02:33:05.000But this has nothing in it, ladies and gentlemen.
02:33:25.000I have just a couple of things for Captain Sweeney.
02:33:29.000Captain, 55 or 60 years ago, it was common practice for a merchant or a private vessel to have an arms locker on board.
02:33:37.000And just like an international shipping container, when you entered a port where arms were restricted, the harbormaster would put a seal on the arms locker.
02:33:47.000Now, when did that stop being common practice?
02:33:51.000I have never been on a ship that had an arms locker, and I've been going to sea about 28 years.
02:35:54.000It's generated from the electricity on the ship and it basically, uh, it doesn't allow them to, uh, you know, to grab on and to board by, you know, cause they use grappling hooks or whatever to get over that.
02:36:04.000And one of the things that I have, and it's been marketed heavy, and the international shipping community is pushing merchant vessels to have this, because it's a quote-unquote non-lethal method of repelling pirates or armed attack.
02:36:18.000The problem I'm concerned about is, what if they short that out?
02:36:22.000I mean, and that's the thing, and I'm not sure exactly, you know, if they could throw something, a metal something up there and ground it to the ship itself, And that, I don't have the answer to that yet.
02:36:33.000But yes, BL, that's very astute of you.
02:36:35.000And yes, they do have that system that they're marketing.
02:36:38.000Well, Captain, I think the day of the Q ship has come again.
02:36:42.000An apparently unarmed vessel that is heavily armed.
02:36:46.000I think you might be right on that, my friend.
02:36:49.000Now, firing on a vessel that hasn't demonstrated hostile intents just should never happen, whether you're the Indian Navy or whoever you are.
02:36:58.000But once a vessel has fired on your vessel, you should be able to respond with devastating firepower.
02:37:51.000Yeah, I know people have been totally pirated in Rockport, Texas.
02:37:54.000I know of incidences in Cozumel, but I will never go to CSBL, just said, without a weapon.
02:37:58.000And what I do, when I pick up a target on radar, and I'm on a recreational vessel, I will certainly start assembling my weapon and try to reach them on the radio.
02:38:06.000And if they get closer, I'm going to start firing over their bow, because if they get close to you in international waters, they're going to kill you, and they're going to scuttle you.
02:38:11.000And most people don't truly understand How devastating this issue is around the globe, because I've sailed in the Med, I've sailed in the Caribbean, I've sailed in the South Pacific, and it is truly a horrible situation that has not truly been addressed until today.
02:38:26.000Well, thank you, Chris, and I appreciate your insight.
02:38:46.000When tyrannical government keeps the people from protecting themselves, it really does come down to immoral laws just have to be broken.
02:38:54.000It's either you or them, and when you're out at sea in international water, your boat is your island.
02:39:00.000You are the king, you're the president, you're there to protect the boat, you protect your passengers, you protect your crew.
02:39:05.000And you only have one shot at it, literally one shot at it.
02:39:08.000And if you pick them up on radar, and they're, say, 16, 20 miles out, you get them on radar, and they're coming towards you, you start to hail them on the radio, and they don't answer you, and they keep coming towards you, you start assembling your weapons, and you get prepared for a situation.
02:39:21.000I agree, and it's unfortunate that recreational boaters are put in a position where if they have a weapon to defend themselves, that they face prosecution or being locked up in another country.
02:39:35.000The only thing you have on board, quite frankly, if you don't have a weapon, is a pyrotechnic flare gun.
02:39:52.000I have heard from the people that go out on the, you know, 100 mile, 200 mile fishing trips that people are being robbed, are being killed, it's all kept quiet in the media.
02:40:00.000You're saying you've heard about piracy in Rockport?
02:40:04.000Rockport, Texas, one of my clients delivering his boat from Florida, just inside state waters, was pirated.
02:40:10.000He let a boat get close to him, they came on board with guns, they robbed him, they didn't kill him, and they didn't scuttle him, but they took everything on board their boat.
02:40:16.000And that's a huge risk that you take, even in our state waters.
02:40:19.000And the problem is, around the United States, our Coast Guard is not worried about that.
02:40:23.000They're more worried about interdiction, drug interdiction, and weapons interdiction.
02:40:52.000What's going on just off our shores out in the Gulf of Mexico?
02:40:55.000It is truly, you've got thousands of square miles where recreational boaters are buying these gigantic million dollar yachts Wanting to move around between Florida and different ports.
02:41:21.000Well, you've always got somebody on watch, but as an example, I always take night watch because night watch to me is the most deadliest time to be out there.
02:41:30.000Not to mention ships running over you.
02:41:50.000Obviously, they don't have navigation lights or anything like that.
02:41:53.000Yet, anyway, well, at least they have some sophisticated equipment to track the vessels.
02:41:58.000But that might change, I think, because as they get more and more sophisticated equipment, they're going to be able to tell whether the ship they're coming alongside of is a merchant vessel or a naval vessel.
02:42:08.000Yeah, exactly, because they're doing that for their own safety, so they don't pick on the wrong target.
02:42:16.000What else have you heard about in the Gulf of Mexico, Captain, and Chris?
02:42:21.000Cozumel, a boat was pirated two years ago because they had a stowaway.
02:42:26.000A gentleman got on board the boat, he had an automatic weapon, and once the boat got underway, he started shooting people, and then his pirate buddies came alongside and came up on board.
02:42:34.000I think the cruise ship industry right now is in a critical time.
02:42:38.000We just saw, as Captain Sweeney pointed out, two ships that have barely escaped.
02:42:42.000Once these pirates decide or figure out a way to get weapons on board the boat first, And then start killing people and killing crew and taking over the flybridge and the pilot house.
02:42:51.000Then we're going to see the cruise ship industry suffer.
02:42:55.000Then you're going to have thousands of people held hostage and robbed at sea, and that is coming.
02:42:58.000That is the next phase of what's already been happening.
02:43:02.000But is that a danger in the Caribbean, Captain?
02:43:05.000The cruise ship, as far as the cruise ship?
02:43:07.000Yeah, and most of that's in Africa, right?
02:43:09.000Well, yeah, right now it's in Africa, but you know, cruise ships are very They're high out of the water in general.
02:43:16.000They have a lot of freeboard, and they're not an easy target.
02:43:18.000But I tell you one thing, when there's been attacks, as Chris, and I mentioned earlier, as Chris pointed out, there have been attacks on cruise ships in the Gulf of Aden in the last week and a half.
02:43:30.000And if they get, if the pirates actually get control of a cruise ship, it's going to be the golden jewel.
02:43:38.000Because what's going to happen is you're going to have hundreds, Uh, crew members or up to three or four hundred crew members.
02:43:44.000It's going to be a giant international incident meltdown.
02:43:58.000And actually, a RAND study came out earlier this year that pointed exactly to that, Alex.
02:44:04.000The RAND study pointed out that the U.S. government, uh, under Bush, has been, uh, And to a large extent, at fault for some of the increase in piracy, because they focus so much on the doomsday scenario of terrorism.
02:44:19.000And I'm not saying that we shouldn't have that, but the everyday reality of piracy has been largely ignored.
02:44:26.000And even the RAND study came right out and said that, you know, maritime terrorism is one thing, and yes, a lot of times that's politically And I'm not saying that...
02:44:34.000But it is terrorism, even if it's for money, when you kidnap people and kill them.
02:44:39.000Yeah. What better place than when you think about it, where if you're going to take over a ship at sea, all you have to do is kill the crew, kill the passengers, and scuttle the vessel.
02:44:47.000I'm talking on a recreational aspect, you know, 150, you know, 100 to 150 foot yachts, or something along those lines.
02:44:53.000Those are million dollar pieces of equipment.
02:44:55.000They have a lot of things on board, and a lot of wealthy people on board, and you've got a graveyard in the ocean, quite frankly.
02:45:01.000I think if the pirates actually managed to hijack a cruise ship, and actually what's happening now, the German cruise line, I think it was the MV Columbus, I think last Sunday, what they did then, instead of transiting through the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea with the passengers on board, they anchored off the Suez, they took everybody off and they flew them by plane.
02:45:31.000All the entire group of passengers, hundreds of passengers, over to Dubai, and then the crew brought the ship through, and then they met the, they're going to meet the vessel, the passengers are going to meet the vessel over in Dubai and continue the world cruise that they're on.
02:46:25.000And hey, go to the website, Maritime Headhunters.
02:46:26.000What I'm going to do, I'm going to give everybody who's listening and says they heard me on Alex's show today, I'm going to cut them 10% with no shipping, and I'm going to sign the book for them and send it out.
02:46:34.000So go to the website, MaritimeHeadhunters.com.
02:46:45.000My husband is a captain in the Gulf of Mexico, and this is one of my major concerns.
02:46:53.000I'm concerned because the International Monetary Organization has recommended that merchant mariners be unarmed, and that poses a great big problem for me as a wife who sits in New Hampshire while her husband's down in the Gulf of Mexico.
02:49:07.000Fabled Enemies is the first 9-11 film to take a close look at the terrorist ties to intelligence networks inside the United States.
02:49:14.000Some U.S. investigators believe that there are Israelis again very much engaged in spying in and on the U.S. I'm aware that some Israeli citizens have been detained.
02:49:24.000Bin Laden's connections to the CIA, the hijackers'ties to the FBI, the Saudi Arabian connection, the Israeli Intelligence Network, Warnings and War Games, the shadow government, and much, much more.
02:49:35.000Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists.
02:49:50.000The United States is bankrupt and the bankers want you bankrupt also.

02:51:32.000Donna, yes, the International Monetary Fund, others, the U.N., they don't want anybody armed, so things will break down so they can be the global force.
02:51:40.000And unlimited numbers of U.N. ships taxing the seas, taxing world commerce, that's what it is with the Law of the Sea Treaty, that is not going to protect the ships.
02:52:02.000I think that was the last straw for my husband.
02:52:05.000My husband said this was one step before every mariner becomes chipped.
02:52:10.000And this was concerning on top of the fact that Lockheed Martin was the one who prepared all these Twix cards.
02:52:21.000And just one more thing I would say to everybody out there, whoever wants to take a cruise ship, That most ships are not foreign flagged.
02:52:29.000And that concerns me because Americans are going to become targets.
02:52:33.000And unless you have a U.S. flagged vessel, you know, you're not going to be protected.
02:52:40.000We saw that, I think, back in the 90s when the ecstasy caught on fire and all the crew members of that boat got off and left every one of the passengers.
02:52:49.000Yeah, that was that Greek ship, right?
02:52:51.000No, the Ecstasy was the one off Florida.
02:52:54.000Well, there was another one where the captain got himself off.
02:53:08.000What she was talking about with the TWIC card, which is the Transportation Worker Identification Credentials, not only for U.S. mariners, longshore workers, truckers that go on container terminals.
02:53:18.000People who work in offices at container terminals or cargo terminals, port workers who go there to repair things or fix things, you know, whatever.
02:53:27.000Anybody who goes on a terminal, and they're all U.S. citizens.
02:53:31.000And I wrote an article about the TwitCard and Professional Mariner.
02:53:34.000People can see it in the archives, professionalmariner.com, from a mariner's point of view.
02:53:39.000You know, most of us have no problem Going in there and doing what we gotta do because, you know, we gotta stay employed.
02:53:45.000But this is a worker ID for the Feds to track everybody.
02:53:49.000And the problem is, though, even though there were, I don't know how many, I think it was 17 ships that had identifiable links to Al-Qaeda after 9-11, merchant ships, foreign merchant mariners don't have to go through the same screening process.
02:54:04.000And it's like, you know, how can, and I even end this in the article, and professional mariner, when I ask this question, How can U.S. ports be safe when only U.S. workers...
02:54:12.000No, it's federal control of our activities.
02:54:15.000Homeland Security wants every American to have to have a similar card to have any job.
02:54:19.000I saw the head of it, when Ridge was the head of it, say that on C-SPAN.
02:54:22.000Let's start the call now, finish it up in the next segment.
02:54:36.000I served for 21 years active duty, and I just want to let you know that it's a real privilege and honor to speak to you, and thank you for all your insights and help.
02:54:45.000And I just want to touch on a couple things.
02:54:48.000A lot of people have brought up the point about tactics, and that they're on target and tracking.
02:54:53.000It's the only way to protect the crew, because without the crew, it's just a hole.
02:54:58.000And with a hole, you know, it's useless.
02:55:01.000And they could be in a watery grave, and that's what all mariners are...
