The John-Henry Westen Show - June 17, 2022


Retired CIA officer: Marxist groups are 'financing' and 'directing' pro-abortion violence


Summary

Jane Roe v. Wade has been the focus of much of the country s attention for the past week and a half, and there is no doubt that more is coming. In this episode of The John Henry Weston Show, former CIA officer Sam Faddis joins us to talk about what we should be looking out for, and what we can expect.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Nothing can exist between the state and the individual. That is the hallmark of Marxism, communism, totalitarian governments. You have to be powerless as an individual. They don't want you to be raised by your family. They certainly don't want you to have a God you rely on.
00:00:17.380 You have all heard the breaking news now that Jane's revenge has been threatening with real threats. Talking about how the firebombing at crisis pregnancy centers, I guess, wasn't enough. They're saying more is coming. And that's been predicted. You know, we've got someone with us today who is a former CIA officer. He's looked into what could be coming and what we can expect.
00:00:47.380 You're going to want to stay tuned for this episode of The John Henry Weston Show.
00:01:09.360 Sam Faddis, welcome to the program.
00:01:11.360 Thank you for having me. Pleasure to be here.
00:01:13.560 Let's begin, as we always do, with the sign of the cross.
00:01:15.300 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
00:01:22.040 Sam, maybe you can start with telling us a little bit about your background.
00:01:26.560 I'm a former U.S. Army officer, and then I spent 20 years undercover in the Central Intelligence Agency as an operations officer, which means an operator abroad in the Middle East and South Asia, primarily.
00:01:39.700 And another decade after that, working with other elements of the intelligence community.
00:01:46.660 These days, I do a lot of national security commentary.
00:01:50.620 Also run an online magazine called And Magazine at Substack.
00:01:55.540 Spend a lot of time trying to tell truth about things that doesn't seem like most people want to talk about.
00:02:00.240 So now we have a situation in the United States that's unfolding, probably been here for a long, long time, but it's unfolding now in earnest.
00:02:10.020 We've seen very strange things from law enforcement not engaging where you'd think, obviously, we've had over 23 crisis prevention centers attacked, vandalized.
00:02:21.860 Four of them firebombed.
00:02:22.780 Tell us, in your opinion, from your vast background, what's going on here, and what does the public really need to know?
00:02:29.280 To start with, what the public needs to understand, and probably a great deal of the public suspects, but again, it sort of gets put into the Maxwell Smart cone of silence, and we just don't talk about it,
00:02:40.680 is that we're looking at violence that has really been ongoing, you know, since the infamous summer of love when cities were being burned.
00:02:49.740 And it is being perpetuated by, it's being financed, directed, organized by, I mean that exactly the way I'm putting it,
00:02:59.660 by Marxist, communist organizations in this country that have a very express agenda, and that agenda is to destroy the existing political, economic, and social structure of this country.
00:03:17.200 And, you know, if that sounds like science fiction, well, it probably would have sounded that way to me a few years ago, too, but it is, in fact, true.
00:03:27.740 And that is exactly what we're seeing right now in this run-up to what I'm afraid is going to be some very significant violence connected to Roe v. Wade and the whole abortion controversy.
00:03:41.120 Not that we haven't already seen violence, as you indicated, but it's going to get a lot worse.
00:03:46.160 What changed your mind? You said a few years ago, had someone told you about the sort of cabal you're talking about, you wouldn't have believed it.
00:03:53.840 What moved you from that disbelief to an understanding that this is, in fact, the case?
00:03:57.820 The process that I have gone through is probably a process that is familiar to many, many Americans, which is, there's not a light bulb that goes on over your head.
00:04:08.460 Boom, there's an epiphany. Suddenly, I see clearly everything around.
00:04:12.940 It happens in stages. You feel like you're awakening to a realization of what's happening, and you understand how bad it is.
00:04:19.920 And then six months later, you think, good Lord, I didn't realize how bad it was at all.
00:04:27.700 And the next year, you realize, wow, I'm still not grasping it.
00:04:32.560 And for myself and my wife, who's also a retired CIA operations officer, I think this was enhanced by the fact that we spent such a large portion of our lives basically overseas.
00:04:43.500 And if we were home, we were getting ready for the next assignment, so we weren't really focused on the states.
00:04:49.420 We were getting ready to get through the training course, learn a new language, get back out to a new country.
00:04:53.760 So it wasn't until we retired and really settled back into the states and sort of started living here full time again that we actually literally looked at each other one day in the kitchen.
00:05:05.240 And we were talking about something and just paused and said, what happened to the country we were defending while we were gone?
00:05:12.640 Like while we were out on the walls defending the republic, what has been happening here?
00:05:19.400 Because all of a sudden you realize things, this is not the country I left decades and decades before.
00:05:28.160 It's been that process.
00:05:29.440 And again, it's just a series of events as you dig into it.
00:05:32.440 And of course, I'm an intelligence officer.
00:05:33.880 My whole job always was to get to the truth.
00:05:37.020 You don't write the story you want to write.
00:05:39.420 You write the story that the facts tell you to write, like a good investigative journalist.
00:05:44.060 And when you follow the facts and just open your eyes and start running this down, you realize, wow, this is crystal clear.
00:05:52.780 In fact, the only thing that's shocking is that nobody wants to talk about it.
00:05:57.220 That you can cover burning cities and not mention the fact that an organization called the Revolutionary Communist Party USA is sponsoring.
00:06:07.880 That seems like a pretty big deal that there's a Stalinist organization behind Milwaukee burning.
00:06:13.820 And yet somehow nobody manages to mention it.
00:06:17.460 If you were to say, in addition to that, so we can have sort of three major points of reference that for you point to this conclusion in a way that's really unassailable, what would the other two be?
00:06:31.220 Look at the agenda, but also in tandem with that.
00:06:34.360 Just listen to what they say, okay?
00:06:38.000 In the case of these organizations, they don't hide this.
00:06:41.520 When I'm writing about the organizing of violent actions in Washington, D.C. by Rise Up for Abortion Rights, for instance, and I say, as I have said repeatedly, it is a creation whole cloth of a Stalinist communist organization.
00:06:57.380 I didn't have to go recruit a super secret spy to get inside the Revolutionary Communist Party in the United States.
00:07:03.220 It's not like a three-year operation undercover like we're back in the agency.
00:07:09.300 You know, you go find their website, and then you read their constitution for their new socialist republic, USA, and you watch a few YouTube videos where they're speaking in public in broad daylight.
00:07:22.320 Look at the agenda here.
00:07:24.000 We're talking about abortion rights, for instance, whatever the heck that's supposed to mean exactly, but all of the verbiage associated with this is also, it's not just talking about a woman's right to choose, again, whatever exactly that's supposed to mean, but there's a full-on attack on what they call the patriarchy, right?
00:07:47.480 This is not just this narrow issue.
00:07:50.640 It is an attack on every element of that, and as we have seen right out of the blocks in the last couple of months, an immediate attack upon religion, right?
00:08:03.080 And not just because it coincidentally some center happened to be co-located with a Christian center.
00:08:11.480 Expressly, they are targeting religion, and they denigrate it and destroy it.
00:08:16.240 So I've spent a lot of time in my life working against Marxist organizations and crawling inside them and recruiting sources.
00:08:23.200 So I have spent way more time than any human should ever have to spend listening to the madness of Marxist ideology, because that's how you do it.
00:08:33.080 Why do you destroy that?
00:08:35.400 Because there cannot be a God.
00:08:38.500 There cannot be religion.
00:08:40.580 There can't be a family.
00:08:42.900 Nothing can exist between the state and the individual.
00:08:46.900 That is the hallmark of Marxism, communism, totalitarian governance.
00:08:52.300 You have to be powerless as an individual.
00:08:55.100 They don't want you to be raised by your family.
00:08:57.500 They certainly don't want you to have a God you rely on.
00:09:00.260 You are naked before the state, and they own you.
00:09:06.360 That's the bottom line.
00:09:07.380 We have so far seen, since sort of even the hint of the ruling in Dobbs that might challenge Roe or might overturn Roe, the leak of the decision or of a preliminary kind of thing, draft decision.
00:09:26.060 Already violence, as we mentioned at the outset, 23 crisis pregnancy centers, vandalized, attacked, four of them firebombed.
00:09:34.080 We've seen the arrest of someone who really was attempted murder outside Kavanaugh's house.
00:09:42.000 We've also seen churches disrupted, masses, where women disrobe and are naked running through the church, screaming, my body, my choice, whatever they yell.
00:09:55.060 But you think there's going to be more, and it's going to get worse.
00:10:00.940 Please explain.
00:10:01.480 Without question.
00:10:02.880 First of all, let's remember that really you're looking at the same entities that organized the violence that we saw in our cities during the Trump presidency, that still celebrate on all of their websites the sacking of the third precinct in Milwaukee, where the cops were ultimately police officers forced to run for their lives.
00:10:24.520 That's celebrated as like a glorious victory.
00:10:29.740 So these are the same people that are now organized, exactly the same entities.
00:10:35.660 And if you look at what they're saying online, they are expressly talking in terms of violence.
00:10:40.840 They are celebrating violence.
00:10:43.420 One of the videos that is circulating online, it's an animation, obviously.
00:10:50.040 It's a prediction, if you will, or a visualization of what they hope happens.
00:10:54.520 It shows a woman in one of these handmaiden outfits that, you know, with the red cloak and the whole shtick.
00:11:01.920 She runs into a building, throws some sort of explosive device.
00:11:06.540 And then the next scene is her and a bunch of other women dressed the same way, running, and the entire building detonates.
00:11:14.000 It's not even just setting fire to an empty building in the middle of the night.
00:11:19.280 Not that that's okay.
00:11:20.340 This is expressly an occupied building, and they're detonating it, and they're celebrating that.
00:11:25.640 The whole point is, this is what we want you to do.
00:11:29.380 Keep in mind also, I mean, look, you know, you have a Homeland Security Department.
00:11:33.440 That seriously keeps telling, I mean, they have time to go dedicate resources to the supposed threat of violence from parents who dare to show up at school board meetings, talking about why are you talking to my kid about transgender ideology?
00:11:53.820 Why don't you teach him to read?
00:11:55.800 That's the focus of the Department of Homeland Security.
00:11:59.500 So there's nobody looking at this.
00:12:02.740 I mean, ideologically, this is, you know, it's hands-off for federal law enforcement investigation.
00:12:09.980 So there's nobody working to tear this out.
00:12:11.740 I mean, I can tell you as a guy who, my whole job was to crawl inside groups like Al-Qaeda and so forth and recruit sources.
00:12:18.660 I mean, this ought to be an easy day for the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
00:12:22.000 If they could tear apart the mafia and the Ku Klux Klan, they can sure beat up Antifa and all of these guys if anybody gave them the direction to do so.
00:12:31.380 But they're being told to leave them alone and walk away.
00:12:34.580 So what you have is a rising threat level, and they've been given a free hand.
00:12:37.800 That speaks, of course, to a deep corruption that is beyond kind of an even ideological stance on abortion.
00:12:50.440 That speaks to the readiness to undermine American civilization as a whole that would have to be coming from the highest echelons of power.
00:13:01.660 As a journalist, what's your evidence?
00:13:03.040 My evidence is that all you have to do is look at them and you will see that it is happening, right?
00:13:09.400 I mean, we have a Department of Homeland Security that answers directly to the President of the United States.
00:13:16.720 What are the orders being given to the Department of Homeland Security?
00:13:20.640 Like, I don't have to guess what they're doing behind closed doors and kind of ferret this out.
00:13:24.760 I can just watch.
00:13:25.840 I mean, literally, we have seen bulletins come out from the Department of Homeland Security saying we need to focus on the rising threat from parents at school board meetings and threats to school institutions.
00:13:38.620 OK, I'm involved in a lot of stuff on a lot of different levels.
00:13:41.480 I've been to a bunch of school board meetings, as I'm sure many viewers have, over the last year or two.
00:13:47.200 I've seen people who are fired up about their kids.
00:13:49.360 I've never seen anybody come within 10 miles of threatening violence, engaging in violence.
00:13:55.540 There's no such threat.
00:13:57.460 Meanwhile, you have entire cities that have burned and precincts that have been destroyed.
00:14:02.900 Those organizations that are behind that are well-known and still in existence and receiving funding, hundreds of millions of dollars.
00:14:11.340 Black Lives Matter got $100 million from Ford Foundation alone.
00:14:15.520 They then go out and engage and express violence.
00:14:18.960 Cops are killed.
00:14:20.040 Precincts are burned.
00:14:22.060 Not a finger is lifted, right?
00:14:25.500 That, I mean, again, we're talking about Black Lives Matter.
00:14:29.340 We're not talking about an expression of sentiment.
00:14:31.540 I mean, any person who doesn't agree with that statement as an expression of fact that obviously all human life matters.
00:14:38.120 But I don't know what to say to you.
00:14:39.200 I can't, you know, you're lost.
00:14:41.120 But Black Lives Matter is an expressly Marxist organization dedicated to the overflow of our society.
00:14:48.400 Again, spend five minutes and read what they write.
00:14:52.400 Amongst other things, they are dedicated to the destruction of the family unit and all traditional social roles.
00:14:59.860 They say it and they act on it and they burn towns and the Federal Bureau of Investigation watches them.
00:15:07.780 So I guess that's my evidence.
00:15:09.780 It doesn't seem to matter.
00:15:11.700 Even the corruption of their very leaders, them using the millions of dollars to buy their own mansions and give mansions to their parents and whatnot.
00:15:23.180 None of it seems to matter.
00:15:25.140 And I find it particularly sick.
00:15:27.460 I mean, most of these groups are sick, honestly, in my opinion.
00:15:30.360 But when you have an organization like Black Lives Matter that capitalizes on the fact that there are massive legitimate problems in huge chunks of the Black community in the United States still for a whole variety of reasons.
00:15:46.720 And instead of focusing on that and using that money and working to do something meaningful to improve the lives of every kid in West Baltimore who's trying desperately not to get sucked into violence and gang activity.
00:16:03.980 And instead, you buy mansions for yourself and pose as some kind of guerrilla leader.
00:16:09.900 I mean, that's particularly evil.
00:16:11.960 I think you're like sucking the lifeblood out of this and claiming you're representing these people.
00:16:17.380 And in fact, all you're doing is greasing your own palm.
00:16:20.720 And the first thing, of course, you do is go buy a mansion in an area that inevitably turns out to be 99% white after you've told everybody about how you're standing with these folks.
00:16:32.960 There's some more corruption that's been pointed out.
00:16:35.700 And I know that you've been writing about it as well.
00:16:39.440 And that is the revelations from the Hunter Biden laptop.
00:16:43.420 And what have they done, these new revelations?
00:16:47.200 First of all, I should start with, what's your appreciation, given your background in the CIA, of the veracity of these reports?
00:16:57.040 Overwhelmingly, they're entirely accurate.
00:16:59.580 I mean, I should add that I have a copy of Hunter Biden's hard drive.
00:17:03.640 I try desperately to avoid looking at images and video on it and focus on the substance of it, although it's a little hard given the way the hard drive is all fragmented.
00:17:12.140 And there's immense evidence on there of Hunter's involvement in all kinds of nefarious and really distasteful things, whether we're talking sex, drugs, everything else in the world.
00:17:23.540 To me, that's not really the central issue, though, right?
00:17:26.580 I mean, to the extent it may, in fact, involve sex trafficking and the abuse of women and so forth.
00:17:33.400 I'm not minimizing it.
00:17:34.900 But the central issue here is the evidence that's on that laptop that shows the amount of money that has flowed into Hunter's hands.
00:17:45.620 And in my opinion, without question, into the broader Biden enterprise, because from an American national security perspective, which is, you know, my bread and butter, that's the key issue, right?
00:17:59.300 It's you have an enterprise that has been taking all this money.
00:18:03.320 Joe is now sitting in the Oval Office.
00:18:06.640 What did all of these people get in return for that money?
00:18:10.600 I mean, a lot of this came from the Chinese Communist Party.
00:18:12.980 They don't give away money for nothing.
00:18:15.620 Hunter has no discernible skills other than snorting cocaine and running around with prostitutes, as far as I can tell.
00:18:22.080 Nobody's paying Hunter Biden millions of dollars for his skills.
00:18:25.960 He is a bag man.
00:18:27.880 Money goes to him and it moves on.
00:18:30.440 And these guys are not fools.
00:18:32.660 They may be evil, but their heart knows.
00:18:35.080 When you start forking over money, or as they did at one point in one transaction, handed Hunter $1.5 billion, you got to ask yourself, what did they get in return?
00:18:48.500 Everybody talks about the potential to blackmail Joe Biden.
00:18:52.400 Very few people talk about the fact that there's a strong possibility they bought Joe Biden a long time ago.
00:18:57.820 Not a question of, theoretically, they could blackmail him at a future date.
00:19:02.520 You got a guy sitting in the White House who has taken, at this point, we have no idea how much money from our number one enemy on the face of the earth.
00:19:10.180 That's the hard truth.
00:19:11.840 This paints a rather dark picture.
00:19:15.020 What can Americans do to fight back, to fight for civilization, to fight, to regain freedom in America?
00:19:25.840 I do a lot of speaking and traveling around and working with conservative organizations and so forth.
00:19:30.860 And at some point in the conversation, it always comes down to this, right?
00:19:33.540 It's like, okay, thanks, Sam.
00:19:35.720 You really depressed us.
00:19:37.440 Now what do we do about it?
00:19:39.240 Now that I'm all bummed out, what am I supposed to do other than go home and sit on the couch and yell at the television?
00:19:45.300 And my answer is always, just get up and do whatever you can.
00:19:50.800 Like, you're not powerless and you don't have to fix it all by yourself.
00:19:56.000 You don't have to go run for president or run for Senate.
00:19:59.020 But everybody can identify something right in front of them that they can do.
00:20:04.580 Start going to your school board meetings and pushing back on an agenda that is trying to teach your little boy that he's really a girl and your little girl that he's really a boy.
00:20:14.420 And that they should owe their primary allegiance, put their faith in the government, not their father and mother.
00:20:22.040 Go to your county council meetings.
00:20:24.100 I don't know.
00:20:24.520 Run for the school board.
00:20:25.760 Run for state, whatever it is.
00:20:28.020 Just get back in the game and push back.
00:20:31.180 Because, I mean, I would summarize for you.
00:20:33.940 And the totality of this, I think, boils down to we, and I will put myself at the top of that list, kind of assumed that somebody else was taking care of all of this.
00:20:44.600 It was all under control.
00:20:46.520 It was all okay.
00:20:47.400 We're the biggest, most powerful, wealthiest nation in history, yada, yada.
00:20:52.460 And then one day we all woke up and looked around and said, wow, what is going on here?
00:21:00.280 What is happening?
00:21:01.560 How, why do our schools teach our kids ideology hostile to everything our nation is about?
00:21:09.120 Why does our government act contrary to our interests?
00:21:13.140 I mean, look around us right now.
00:21:14.480 Why is gas over $5?
00:21:17.980 How did we suddenly magically, I'm laughing, not because it's funny, because it's just so insane.
00:21:23.600 How did we magically go in about a year from energy independence and gas at $2.50 a gallon or whatever it was to begging the Iranians to sell us gas, begging the Venezuelans for gas and paying, pushing six bucks now in a lot of places.
00:21:41.120 I mean, you know, we lost control of our country.
00:21:45.980 We're expecting any day the Dobbs ruling to be handed down.
00:21:50.100 But presumably it will still overturn Roe v. Wade.
00:21:54.460 The abortion argument will then move to the states.
00:21:58.140 But you're suggesting there's going to be some major violence.
00:22:02.100 What can parents do around the country to protect their families?
00:22:06.340 First of all, demand that law enforcement take this seriously and get answers from people.
00:22:12.120 But recognize, particularly if you have, I mean, if you're, if you go to church, if you are involved with your church, if you run any Christian associated, I'm using a very loose term, I understand, enterprise, you know, pregnancy counseling center, anything else that is identifiable connected to the Christian faith in particular.
00:22:33.680 If you're not right now focused on the fact that this is a real security threat, you need to get focused right now.
00:22:40.800 This is for real.
00:22:42.500 It's not just going to be spray painting on walls.
00:22:45.200 Not that that's okay.
00:22:46.520 It's not just going to be breaking a window in the middle of the night.
00:22:49.760 You know, you're potentially going to have to.
00:22:51.420 We've already seen people, as you said, disrupting services.
00:22:54.180 You're going to go from that to violence and services and violence against worshipers.
00:22:58.400 So it's a sick situation that we have to even be thinking in terms of protecting people going to worship.
00:23:05.740 But unfortunately, that's our reality.
00:23:08.120 So schools absolutely associate with that.
00:23:10.620 Anybody like that.
00:23:12.040 You've got any entity like that in particular.
00:23:15.200 You really need to wake up and be focused on this.
