During the Second World War, hidden along the shores of Lake Ontario, a top-secret training facility helped shape some of the most daring intelligence operations of the war. Known as Camp X, it was Canada s answer to the world of espionage, sabotage, and covert communication. Agents were trained there in everything from code-breaking and intelligence gathering to survival behind enemy lines. Decades later, Camp X remains one of Canada s most fascinating and mysterious chapters in history. Today, we re joined by Rob Cressman, historian and expert on Camp X to separate the fact from the fiction, explore the camp s lasting legacy, and uncover the stories of the men and women who trained in secrecy to help win a global war.

00:00:00 During the Second World War, hidden along the shores of Lake Ontario, a top-secret training
00:00:05 facility helped shape some of the most daring intelligence operations of the war.
00:00:10 Known as Camp X, it was Canada's answer to the world of espionage, sabotage, covert communication
00:00:16 and special operations. Agents were trained there in everything from code-breaking and
00:00:21 intelligence gathering to survival behind enemy lines. Decades later, Camp X remains one of the
00:00:26 most fascinating and mysterious chapters in canadian history today we're joined by rob
00:00:31 cressman historian and expert on camp x to separate the fact from the fiction explore the
00:00:37 camp's lasting legacy and uncover the stories of the men and women who trained in secrecy
00:00:43 to help win a global war
00:00:45 all right well uh robbie thanks so much for joining us this is so cool for me yeah uh as
00:00:55 mentioned i kind of teed you up in the intro there but uh as i take a look at and thank you
00:01:00 very much for these uh here's just a sample of the books i think that we're going to get out of
00:01:05 the crestman camp uh this first one by the way very cool tracking the little giant killer this
00:01:12 is really a story that we're going to be talking about today in many ways we're going to hear this
00:01:16 name bill underwood and his legacy of combat uh training your updated version inspired by that
00:01:23 discreet fighting i'll recommend that you reach out and i'll put the link in the description for
00:01:28 these and what we're going to be talking about today of course is camp x a little bit about you
00:01:36 first of all robbie how do you end up uh the guy who knows all about this i mean i know what you do
00:01:43 for a living but are you even allowed to share that yes i am it's some of what i do has been
00:01:48 published and so i can to some degree but uh but definitely mike wrote what's really come about is
00:01:54 it's been an unintended path to discovery of discovery for me i started off in short as a
00:02:01 silly civilian which i still still am but i've been a supporter to the special and black ops
00:02:05 communities within our allied and countries five seven and nine eyes and beyond but essentially 0.86
00:02:11 as a civilian had a love for martial arts but i was always a patriotic guy and even back in the
00:02:18 80s and 90s it kind of bothered me with respect like why do i have to go to china japan korea
00:02:23 to learn how to fight i knew our canadian military history was exemplary so a question
00:02:27 came to me essentially well you know did our canadian boys have ever i want to learn some
00:02:31 canadian did our canadian guys ever create a canadian fighting system i want to at least
00:02:35 learn something western and so i started to do the research found nothing until i came across
00:02:40 the legacy of bill underwood when everything essentially opened up and in short i discovered
00:02:45 that Canada not only has a martial art, if you will,
00:02:49 although it's birthed in the military special operations perspective,
00:02:52 it's not civilian, okay, or wasn't birthed civilian,
00:02:55 but essentially we have a grandfather of fighting,
00:02:58 and it was so effective, man,
00:02:59 that it was actually classified after World War II.
00:03:02 That's why a lot of stuff was locked down.
00:03:04 Now, he was involved publicly after World War II,
00:03:06 but his real accomplishments were actually deemed to be illegal
00:03:09 to teach outside declared war because it was that vicious and violent.
00:03:12 So I ended up reviving Bill Underwood's legacy.
00:03:15 Okay, and his original combato systems, which were taught during the war.
00:03:19 Underwood, Bill Underwood, British-born Bill Underwood, emigrated to Canada,
00:03:23 created the first fighting system for a Canadian military called combato.
00:03:26 And then after the war, he started to get asked by law enforcement and government,
00:03:30 like, hey, Bill, you were teaching our soldiers how to use their hands and so forth.
00:03:35 Can you teach our police officers combato?
00:03:37 And Bill was like, no, I can't do that.
00:03:39 Combato is designed to kill everything that moved.
00:03:40 Well, Bill, can you modify it?
00:03:42 can you modify a fighting system to be a little more defensive and subject control oriented and
00:03:47 he developed the defendo system which essentially became the template for policing defensive tactics
00:03:52 not only in canada but many places in the states so i ended up basically being the individual that
00:03:57 revived bill underwood's legacy and there was not a single reference to him on the world wide web in
00:04:02 the 90s everything that's there today is because of the research i was doing okay and that essentially
00:04:06 opened doors as i started to research the fact that huh underwood these vets would talk about
00:04:11 but the fact that Underwood was a secret instructor at this super top classified training facility called Camp X.
00:04:18 Like James Bond was born. I'm like, what? Bond was born out of this camp in Canada.
00:04:21 And I ended up connecting with the world expert on Camp X who verified that, yes, we believe Underwood was involved.
00:04:28 And I then spent a connected 20 years in the Camp X legacy.
00:04:31 And when the classified community, let's just say it's a, you know, sometimes a horrible blanket term,
00:04:36 But the sensitive communities, as I was doing research, found out that I had a lot of the original stuff, let's say, from the tradecraft from the Camp X era.
00:04:45 I started to get asked, listen, would you show our intelligence agents today what we were doing at Camp X?
00:04:50 Will you show our soldiers?
00:04:51 Show our soldiers.
00:04:52 So they wanted you to go back to this legacy.
00:04:56 Yeah, it was so mysterious for them.
00:04:58 That's correct.
00:04:58 On Bill Underwood.
00:04:59 The whole Bill Underwood and Camp X legacy was so mysterious.
00:05:03 And so our modern agencies, you know, really didn't have any idea about they knew what was there, but didn't know what was going on, even up to the levels of our Joint Task Force 2 or JTF2, our SEAL Team 6.
00:05:13 They knew about CAMPEX, but didn't really know what was going on there.
00:05:17 And there's reasons I was hinting at it in an earlier discussion.
00:05:19 There's a reason we know why now I very much believe why.
00:05:23 And I've released this in this book, but we know why now they've kept that legacy suppressed.
00:05:28 But I was originally asked, starting back in the early 2000s, to say, listen, we'd love to see some of this, what was going on.
00:05:34 And so times change, though.
00:05:36 And in essence, as they asked me to problem-solve and giving them ways to fight with their hands, okay, that were really more applicable to special operations.
00:05:44 And not the ring for MMA, not sports.
00:05:47 Right.
00:05:47 This is a scenario where you're up close.
00:05:50 Absolutely.
00:05:50 Up close and personal.
00:05:51 There's been a change of temperature with your contact.
00:05:54 So show us what they were doing then.
00:05:56 Yeah.
00:05:56 you can't really fit that the old model over today's uh over today's environment so they said
00:06:02 listen robbie can you develop something and that was was for me which was birthed in the early 2000s
00:06:07 was i went about trying to develop a method that really taking taking the mindset and the the point
00:06:13 and purpose of what was going on at camp x and how to develop an application for it in a modern
00:06:18 environment and in essence i can wrap it up with one thing the difference between your standard
00:06:22 martial arts sports mixed martial arts kind of platform than what our guys and girls need today
00:06:27 at a special ops level a black ops level is this the world war ii context was essentially they had
00:06:33 to take a civilian it was a civilian okay okay let's say for example to train them as a spy
00:06:38 maybe they needed a forensic accountant to be dropped into an automotive factory in france
00:06:43 sneak him in there and he'll report back on what the nazis were we're doing with this factory now
00:06:47 Well, how do you take an accountant who, a horrible overstatement, or rather blanket statement, but who's got tape between his glasses and a calculator in his pocket all his life?
00:06:57 He's never fought.
00:06:58 How do you take an accountant, Mike, teach him how to be able to defend himself and win a bar fight?
00:07:02 And by the way, you've got hours to do it.
00:07:04 Welcome to Camp X.
00:07:05 And so I took that mindset of short duration, high retention training, developed a whole new method based on much more modern physiology.
00:07:12 And for 20 years, I've been out running around our allied special ops communities
00:07:16 within tier one special forces, within government intelligence agencies
00:07:20 and policing special operations units and teaching this new method.
00:07:25 Wow. Okay, let's go back to the original method.
00:07:28 And Bill Underwood's first, sorry, Underwood, did I say that right?
00:07:32 Bill Underwood, yeah.
00:07:33 Bill Underwood.
00:07:33 Let's go back to his original training and teachings,
00:07:38 which fascinated you so much in the first place.
00:07:40 Combato?
00:07:41 Combato.
00:07:41 that's correct combattle yeah so tell me about this what what made this unique at a time in world
00:07:47 war ii where spies needed to be trained was it the fast the ability to train them fast was it the
00:07:53 like what how was this born to be his thing well in essence i mean underwood's story is absolutely
00:08:00 a fascinating one i mean a childhood friend of harry houdini buffalo bill coady charlie chaplin
00:08:06 i mean again that's why i wrote a book on it it's insane the history is absolutely incredible
00:08:10 But in essence, Underwood was a part of a day,
00:08:13 and he was a leading, you know,
00:08:14 let's say on the leading edge of it in many ways.
00:08:17 He was really the first grandfather in North America.
00:08:20 He really gave the Americans much of their start
00:08:22 at the beginning of in-arm fighting
00:08:24 at the beginning of the war. 0.98
00:08:25 But it was an era when the East
00:08:26 was truly meeting the West for the first time.
00:08:28 So you had these judokas, jiu-jitsu, you know, masters
00:08:32 that were coming for the first time to British shores
00:08:35 or European shores, and they were kind of clashing.
00:08:37 and really in a very I guess really it's a very practical story in a way they really needed to
00:08:44 yes come up with an ability to give guys and it was really more the boys back then and then the
00:08:50 ladies in a lot of ways but give them a short duration high retention skill set you can't train
00:08:55 sports and even MMA type skills you can't learn that in a short time you can't learn how to 1.00
00:09:00 punch and kick in a short period of time you would assume yeah yeah you can't and I can tell
00:09:04 that that's what i do for a living and for a long time and internationally at that but that being
00:09:08 said essentially what underwood and some of the guys of his time were developing was a much more
00:09:13 linear direct and aggressive approach to jujitsu and judo so it was more biomechanical in nature
00:09:19 still uh by way of biomechanics but it was more direct it was linear and to the point
00:09:24 okay and so it could be learned and that's why sometimes it was called dirty judo okay
00:09:29 it came down to that but all right underwood really made it western and whereas in the east
00:09:33 they would turn it into much more of a philosophy and a way of life, what we call warrior culture.
00:09:38 Boys back in Underwood's day would just call it a trick. Hey, let me show you a trick. If somebody
00:09:42 grabs you here, let me show you how to contend with that. And that's a trick to deal with that.
00:09:46 So it kept it simple and linear. But what Underwood did was he even went further and was still trying
00:09:51 to figure out how he did it and what he did. But he developed a system of unarmed fighting. And this
00:09:58 is not you know i know what i'm talking about i've been tested under very high level physiology
00:10:03 experts uh to substantiate this is true he developed a system that was so unorthodox and
00:10:09 outside the box that it literally could an individual could break the spine and the neck
00:10:14 even with one hand okay and uh and again these principles where abs have absolutely even recently
00:10:21 been vetted by physiological experts that aggressive direct nerve flow termination which
00:10:27 what we really call it not breaking necks okay okay is possible uh within very precise technique
00:10:33 okay and underwood basically was training some of the most elite assassins for sir william stevenson
00:10:39 who was basically sir william stevenson the canadian was the real james bond i mean a whole
00:10:43 nother topic but and so he did so for the real james bond and trained some of the most elite
00:10:47 assassins to exist so much so that in 1960 the cia 20 years after the war brother the cia came
00:10:55 to the brits saying listen we're we're wanting to learn in 60 we're wanting to learn assassination
00:11:00 tradecraft and tactics we don't have it so cia didn't have it in the 60s and they went to the
00:11:06 brits and said listen where can we learn this and they said let's we'll get back to you they said
00:11:10 you need we went to the old boys network you need to talk to sir william stevenson you know the real
00:11:14 james bond but at a rockefeller center during world war ii he was running all that stuff and
00:11:19 And his link back was, look, there's the system.
00:11:23 Underwood has it.
00:11:24 Yeah, and Underwood worked directly with Stevenson during World War II.
00:11:27 So indirectly, but fairly directly,
00:11:30 this system made its way into standard practice in the CIA.
00:11:34 I wouldn't say there's connectivity, yes.
00:11:37 What I would say is, but again, times and things change.
00:11:40 We're influenced by culture.
00:11:41 There's a whole other discussion.
00:11:42 I get lectures on that stuff.
00:11:44 But the fact of the matter is, is that without a doubt,
00:11:46 The history of what I have developed has come from most definitely the birthing grounds of CIA, absolutely, no question about it, fall of 1947, okay, September of 47.
00:11:59 Every iteration precursor of CIA was trained to CAMPEX.
00:12:02 COI, okay, beginning in 1942, they became the OSS in the summer of 42, which was the wartime iteration of CIA, if we want to call it that.
00:12:11 And then September of 47, the agency was born after the war.
00:12:14 The first two and most influential, the two most influential directors of the CIA, Dulles, Colby, and Casey, the most foundational three were Camp X instructors.
00:12:25 Okay, let's talk about Camp X then.
00:12:27 Okay, so now Camp X is in a remote location, far removed from society.
00:12:35 At the time.
00:12:36 I guess it would have been actually.
00:12:37 But in modern day terms, really it's not that far away from where we are right now.
00:12:43 No, no, it's not.
00:12:44 No, in essence, Sir William Stevenson was commissioned by Churchill
00:12:48 to develop the most highly classified tourney facility
00:12:51 for spies, secret agents, and saboteurs in the world.
00:12:54 And it was built in Oshawa, on the borderline between Oshawa, okay, and Whitby.
00:12:59 And essentially, if you were to take, you know,
00:13:02 if you were to turn off Highway 2, okay,
00:13:06 right at the beginning on that line, okay,
00:13:08 it's right down on the lakeshore.
00:13:10 That is where Camp X was.
00:13:12 it's all industrial parkway now i was going to say i looked at the map and you can tell it it looks
00:13:17 like at one end of it that strip there was actually at one point maybe a landing strip oh there was
00:13:23 okay so you can still see that on the map where there's where the industrial layout is there are
00:13:28 some things left okay original buildings are all gone because industrial parkways gobbled that all
00:13:33 up and so forth and i would argue that from what we know of history now that was all purposeful to
00:13:37 kind of change it forget about it not reference it okay but the reality is yes my friend that was
00:13:43 the whole reason why they placed the camp there was because the topography over you know uh of
00:13:49 the acreage that it had about 275 276 acres during wartime it had every form of different
00:13:56 topography you can imagine oh in that area and that area it had field rivers streams okay and
00:14:01 stuff applicable bluffs exactly and it was far not far from oshawa airport it was not far from base
00:14:07 borden it was not far from toronto for training grounds and all that stuff so there was a good
00:14:11 10 to 12 reasons why camp x is placed exactly where it was and one of the main ones being
00:14:16 it wasn't on american shores because america wasn't in the war until pearl harbor at the end
00:14:21 of 41 right and so the americans couldn't be involved okay but all they had to do was jump
00:14:26 on a boat cross lake ontario and they're in spy land and and by the way at the time crossing lake
00:14:31 ontario wouldn't have been a problem not at night and they only ever did it over a very short time
00:14:37 because camp x literally opened for operational functioning the day before pearl harbor the next
00:14:42 day pearl harbor happened and uh so they were in the war and they're just at it you know what i
00:14:46 mean but right but the point is there's i could go into a whole treatment on why camp x was placed
00:14:51 where it was but the real james bond sir william stevenson who who brought that you know put that
00:14:56 place together he bought it with his own money bought it with his own cash he was a rich multi
00:15:00 multi-millionaire. That's the reason why Steve was a World War I spy, Canadian, but World War I
00:15:05 Churchill kept in touch with him, okay, and during between the wars, Stevens' story is incredible.
00:15:10 But the fact is, is that, yeah, it was born right here, the very birthplace of Central Intelligence
00:15:15 Agency, and they confess to that now. They absolutely confess their beginnings were Canadian,
00:15:19 okay, and the entire James Bond legacy is Canadian. Ian Fleming was at CapEx during World War II. He
00:15:26 was here i can tell you why and when and the fact is my friend he actually he wasn't there for it
00:15:31 but he was put on a spy course and according to tommy drewbrook who was they had a bsc in canada
00:15:35 under stevenson said that fleming was put on his spy course and actually failed to spy course
00:15:41 oh well i mean he was a good writer yeah exactly but it's funny because you look at me and you're
00:15:46 a media guy so you know yeah but you look at media today in a lot of ways i would argue they make out
00:15:50 the they make out fleming to be a little bigger than his britches back in the day i do think yeah
00:15:55 Yeah, I do think that that's true.
00:15:56 Just because of the bond connection.
00:15:57 Which is fine.
00:15:58 It's okay.
00:15:59 And I think now, you know, this is credibility.
00:16:02 I think he probably wished he had at the time to be able to say, you know,
00:16:05 this is inspired by the guy who started this.
00:16:08 Not by me, but by the guy who started this.
00:16:11 And you can see that.
00:16:12 As you mentioned this, now I hear the bondisms.
00:16:14 Yeah.
00:16:15 Independently wealthy.
00:16:16 Oh.
00:16:16 So, you know, the style, the fashion.
00:16:18 I can give you a snapshot on that.
00:16:20 When Ian Fleming was part of 30 AU, 30 Assault Unit, which was a British Naval Intelligence Unit,
00:16:25 I would argue precursor to Z Squadron for the Special Boat Service today.
00:16:29 That's my pick on that.
00:16:31 But the fact is, is that he came over here to learn some certain tradecraft that was being taught
00:16:35 in an amphibious role from Camp X into Lake Ontario.
00:16:39 Saw what was going on, thought this is really cool.
00:16:41 Asked to go down to the headquarters of Camp X, which was at the Rockefeller Center in New York,
00:16:47 okay, on the 35th and 36th floor.
00:16:49 This is what Fleming walked into.
00:16:51 Fleming comes with a super secret lair
00:16:52 with this international spy walking around 1.00
00:16:54 these beautiful girls all over the place. 1.00
00:16:56 Wow, these gorgeous women. 1.00
00:16:57 And drinking martinis all day long. 1.00
00:17:00 Wow.
00:17:00 I think we've heard the narrative. 0.72
00:17:01 That's completely accurate.
00:17:03 And by the way, the Bond girls were all Canadian.
00:17:06 They hired girls from Canada and the Toronto area,
00:17:09 okay, through newspaper adverts
00:17:11 from the BSC office on King Street.
00:17:14 And they brought them down because, again,
00:17:16 the U.S. couldn't be involved in the war.
00:17:18 So the original Bond girl is a Canadian.
00:17:20 Stevenson himself was Canadian.
00:17:22 And Fleming confessed to that.
00:17:23 Thomas Troy, longest-standing staff historian of CIA, yes.
00:17:27 Bond was freaking, without a doubt, the quiet Canadian Sir William Stevenson.
00:17:31 There's no doubt there.
00:17:32 But how many Canadians know this, man?
00:17:34 How many Canadians know that even if Canadians of Bond are all Canadians?
00:17:38 Before you and I met, by the way, this is not the first time,
00:17:41 and I mentioned this to you when we talked,
00:17:43 Camp X is, in the media world, quite a little bit of scuttlebutt.
00:17:47 But there's always been, as long as I can remember, over the last 15 years or so, there's little glimpses of, did you hear about this?
00:17:56 But when you mentioned to me the James Bond element to it, I was like, well, I mean, I don't know how every Canadian doesn't get right on this.
00:18:03 At Camp X, okay, so what would we have found at Camp X?
00:18:08 What would the actual facility have been like?
00:18:12 276 acres, essentially.
00:18:14 at the time, if you went to Thornton Road, which is now a road that doesn't even really exit from
00:18:20 Highway 2 anymore, the Kings Highway, it's blocked off by rail now. But if you went hooked to right,
00:18:26 going south on Thornton Road, you go down towards the lake and near the bottom, you take another
00:18:31 right onto Sinclair Farmstead Road. And up that road, okay, was essentially 13 buildings and an
00:18:36 old farmhouse, which by the way, is the same model of farmhouse that is still on the property today
00:18:42 with JTF-2 at their compound there.
00:18:44 It's just an interesting thing. 0.96
00:18:46 Interesting, yeah.
00:18:46 Interesting thing.
00:18:47 Just something from the time and the era.
00:18:49 But the point is that essentially 13 buildings.
00:18:53 There are rumors and lore.
00:18:55 There's a lot of underground tunnels there,
00:18:57 but that the buildings were all connected underground.
00:18:59 Absolutely not.
00:19:00 The buildings were not,
00:19:01 there was nobody there to watch anything.
00:19:02 They weren't, it was remote at the time.
00:19:04 You know, Scarborough was, you know,
00:19:06 back in World War II, Scarborough was the bush, man.
00:19:08 Let alone Oshawa, Pickering, Oshawa.
00:19:10 And in the North American perspective,
00:19:12 from an American perspective where Rockefeller is the,
00:19:16 or, you know, Washington, D.C.
00:19:19 is the center of the universe at that time,
00:19:22 Canada was the great wild north.
00:19:24 It was, yeah.
00:19:25 And you didn't have to go far across the border,
00:19:27 as you point out, to be in that scenario.
00:19:30 No, no.
00:19:30 And so many things we can spiderweb on, right?
00:19:34 Trying to be disciplined.
00:19:35 But the fact is, and the relationship was awesome back then
00:19:39 between the United States and Canada in so many ways,
00:19:41 and the patriots that existed within our own Canadian government
00:19:45 to keep, I'll start it today off politics,
00:19:48 but to keep what really needed to be done
00:19:50 from a Liberal Prime Minister at the time.
00:19:52 Mackenzie King would have shut down Camp X and R&B.
00:19:55 Much he would have done that.
00:19:57 And so that was all kept by Commissioner,
00:19:59 everything from George McClellan, head of RCMP,
00:20:02 General Constantine of the Canadian Forces,
00:20:04 and our Director of Ministry of War at the time,
00:20:11 if you will at the time they all work to keep these this functioning a secret and believe it
00:20:16 or not one a very key role was played by lester b pearson during this time he was canada's foreign
00:20:22 he was canada's top diplomat yeah and he actually uh it is alleged played some roles and it all
00:20:28 makes sense truly uh played some roles at assisting in the transfer of information and
00:20:33 certainly working and massaging the british american canadian relationship outside of the
00:20:38 PMO, the prime minister's office to make this happen. And, you know, I've been asked all the
00:20:42 time by even our current, our current boys and girls in our intelligence and special ops
00:20:47 communities, as I lectured to them and teach them. And I teach still and physically in that realm.
00:20:52 But when I am asked to lecture, they're like, how can we apply CAMPEX today? And my opinion is if
00:20:56 you want to understand the story of CAMPEX, you have to understand simply this in a sentence.
00:21:00 The reality is in a time when there were no constitutional solutions to the problem,
00:21:04 Good men and women stood up and did at risk what was necessary to bring about the solution.
00:21:10 And that's what happened at Campbex.
00:21:12 Here's a sideline question as we spider out, and I can't be disciplined like you.
00:21:17 Do you think that's lost from our relationships with the U.S.?
00:21:22 Do you think that that vibe of proceeding, even at the risk of offending the PMO's office or keeping it secret,
00:21:33 is there is that still a modern day possibility
00:21:37 man that's a good question and i sure as heck have a detailed answer but got to be careful
00:21:44 what i say of course as anybody does well right not anybody robbie in all fairness i can say
00:21:50 anything i want about national security and nobody's taking it seriously but i i would say
00:21:55 simply this a lesson i learned being in the ukraine i was over in the ukraine uh the sas
00:22:02 And this is my connections with the Special Air Service, Special Boat Service and British Intelligence and others have been published.
00:22:09 So I'll comment slightly on it.
00:22:11 But I was brought over, had the privilege of being over with SAS in the Ukraine as part of a training mission there and such.
00:22:17 And seeing boots on ground there and working with Ukrainian special ops guys and understanding from their perspective the truths and reality of what's happening, what the politics are going on.
00:22:28 probably to me one of the most interesting fundamental statements was once i got in the
00:22:31 trust tree with some of the boys i had a comment made to me one time saying you know something we
00:22:37 really know there's something wrong in the west when the west everywhere is making you know
00:22:42 zelinski the president uh look like a combination of luke skywalker captain kirk and the second
00:22:48 coming of christ right when we all know he is the most corrupt politician in our modern history
00:22:53 so i use that to simply say this the reality is is there are multiple levels of reality okay that
00:23:02 seem to be going on there's and it's hard to really know unless you excuse me have boots on
00:23:06 ground that are there that you can get information from yeah but the narrative that we are being are
00:23:11 being told or being spun of this constant boom boom boom boom boom boom there's more to the
00:23:16 story than that and i would say if there's one truth and this is what i'll say and i'll leave
00:23:20 it at this there i do very firmly believe see evidence of myself and have been definitely told
00:23:25 there has been a war going on for decades inside our western governments of black hats and white
00:23:30 hats there's been good guys and there's been bad guys our western governments have absolutely been
00:23:35 infiltrated they have been infiltrated by globalist entities okay and there has been a war for decades
00:23:42 arguably since 9-11 of good guys and girls that are nationalist and trying to keep our identities
00:23:48 and our nation's control and power versus a globalist influenced and i would say that that
00:23:54 that war exists in every country and it exists here and i would say that that do you know the
00:24:00 narrative that we're spun by just simply seeing from ottawa bickering to you know the u.s and
00:24:06 what's going on is absolutely not excuse me an accurate depiction okay of what we're really
00:24:11 dealing it does seem like that's the case you don't really have to put a tinfoil hat on to
00:24:15 start to make some of these connections i think now what do you think okay sorry now i'm spinning
00:24:19 us off robbie you stop me anytime okay what do you think some of the indicators are that the
00:24:25 globe like there is this battle between white and black and dark and uh you know evil and good
00:24:33 what where do we see this most often which by the way in answer to my original question i already
00:24:40 hear the answer which is it's not a possibility when you've been infiltrated to be able to
00:24:45 actually execute these kinds of things not with with a patriotic freedom not with complete freedom
00:24:51 hence why there's a war all right where there's a war going on and i would simply say this i would
00:24:57 simply say that when we didn't this is my opinion and i'll i'll stand by my opinion on and off the
00:25:02 mat and in the parking lot but the fact of the matter is is that this is a reason why a lot of
00:25:08 folks would look at the at the trump administration and say oh what they're doing doesn't make sense
00:25:12 what they're doing doesn't then this and then this doesn't make sense what they fail to recognize
00:25:15 and i've seen this in an international from an international perspective what we're dealing with
00:25:20 here right now is we're dealing with basically a house a global house if you want to look at it
00:25:24 that way that has been infested in through its very beams with termites we're dealing with
00:25:29 microsurgery in some cases so there's a lot of 10d chess games that are being played to be able
00:25:36 to extract evil and yet not have the whole house of cards fall down and sometimes you've got to
00:25:42 take wins and losses give away a little bit or do some things massive psychological operations
00:25:47 games i've had a career uh understanding and learning and understanding psyops okay in
00:25:52 psychological operations you ever want to talk about that stuff you know i certainly can can
00:25:56 share the applications of special operations type psyops to what we see in the general public and
00:26:01 there's a lot of people that are talking about that but the fact is is that there's a reason
00:26:05 why things don't aren't linear is because or don't seem to be linear and directly connected
00:26:09 uh is because they don't understand the complexities of what they're contending with
00:26:13 because below that there's a termite in this leg over here and i've got to get under to get that
00:26:18 and by the way the termite to termite detects that the whole thing comes down and in order for
00:26:22 me to get that i've got to get because i don't rule everything right now i've got to get permission
00:26:26 from that entity to be released to be able to get that and darn it all the heck if they say no
00:26:31 we've got to stop now so sometimes it's it's it's dealing a bit of cards to try to get but it's an
00:26:37 overall push it's an overall war to get that done and this is where again i guess from this
00:26:41 perspective i'm adamant and and uh i have a little lesser patience as i'm getting getting older
00:26:46 where people ah it's conspiracy that's you know dude i've lived in this these communities for 20
00:26:51 years internationally okay i know what i'm talking about and this stuff is absolutely real and i would
00:26:57 say that if you think as a you know i i was really kind of educated in one sense i should say i got a
00:27:02 nice slap in the face one time when someone spewed out to me the idea of yeah well we have a right to
00:27:07 know everything you know what no you don't no you no you don't because you don't know what to do
00:27:12 with classified information the general public proves all the time that when there's i do believe
00:27:17 in sensitive communities and classified information and information that needs to be controlled as long
00:27:21 as there's good people at the top and that's what we're battling for because people have proven they
00:27:25 don't know what to do with good information and and they're going to jeopardize lives right away
00:27:29 they start beaking their their mouths off about stuff and that puts people and people operators
00:27:33 and operations in jeopardy and in little in entire missions and so so the point is yes there's trust
00:27:39 there but i would say simply that a lot of the confusion is because we're dealing with a lot of
00:27:44 microsurgery a lot of game playing but i believe the good guys are winning that war exists here
00:27:49 it it is here my friend it does exist here i'm not a super fan of what's going on in ottawa i'm
00:27:55 I'm an absolute nationalist patriot, always have been.
00:27:58 It's why I got into this, to preserve our fighting legacy in Underwood,
00:28:02 our history in Camp X.
00:28:03 But I would say don't lose hope.
00:28:05 We've got some good men and women out there that are fighting.
00:28:07 I love the patriotism in this.
00:28:09 By the way, the book again, Camp X, Ghost War.
00:28:12 You'll find it under Cressman, and I'll make sure the links are there.
00:28:15 But what I think I like the most, and I told you earlier before we did this,
00:28:20 I made an observation when I was doing my research for this,
00:28:24 And one of them was, I'm fascinated, and in a few minutes,
00:28:26 we're going to go down the, we're going to take on a little tour of Camp X
00:28:29 in our minds.
00:28:30 But what I noticed, and I love this,
00:28:33 is that there is a patriotic effort going on in each of these books.
00:28:36 One of them, to preserve where our history in combat
00:28:40 and hand-to-hand combat comes from.
00:28:42 Another one, where it happened.
00:28:44 And then this one, I think, where you update it,
00:28:47 the program that you take to the allied nations
00:28:50 is a real tribute to both of these.
00:28:54 to update it, to say, okay, look, here's what we had,
00:28:57 here's what I teach now, it's based in this,
00:28:59 is a very patriotic thing.
00:29:01 My observation was this.
00:29:04 Rob, in all of this, is way down the ladder in your priorities,
00:29:10 which is very interesting.
00:29:12 Your priorities include teaching, instructing, informing, sharing.
00:29:20 Not what you expect from the guy who's training spies
00:29:22 to pull the spine out of your back.
00:29:24 but that's that's got to be sort of an in that's an interesting uh i would imagine emotional
00:29:30 dichotomy to kind of sit with look i'm going to share all of this by the way i'm also going to
00:29:36 teach these people over here if they need to kill somebody sure you know it's to me i just found
00:29:41 that you're you had zero ego in all of this the information the teaching and the application is
00:29:48 more important to you well i i appreciate that um uh i i think i can give you a a pretty direct
00:29:56 answer as to kind of my mindset over the whole experience of what i've been through has been
00:30:01 simply i think a couple of things a couple um some people feel the weight of history mike and
00:30:08 some don't you know some people will look at something historical and even an artifact or
00:30:12 something and it's like my gosh man it just has such weight that thing was there when if it could
00:30:16 tell stories and i feel like our grandfathers and some are watching right now others you know
00:30:20 others don't they just don't feel that weight of history i have always extremely felt the weight
00:30:25 of history and in in my life and felt that especially the legacies of the phenomenal
00:30:30 canadian legacies that we have i got kind of tired growing up watching blockbuster movies
00:30:34 uh you know and seeing really no canadian representation i got tired of as a kid i really
00:30:40 you know seeing superheroes none of them canadian oh yeah but wolverine you know was canadian yeah
00:30:45 but that's just a footnote dude there's nothing really about wolverine that particular you know
00:30:50 character that's that's really canadian and i tried even at the age of eight years old man i
00:30:54 tried to give it a good college go to get into captain canuck you know stan richard comley's
00:30:59 well done well i tried to give her a go and you know i just couldn't get into it i met with stan
00:31:03 years later i had a talk with him saying why why didn't he learn combato why didn't he was canadian
00:31:07 why wasn't he at camp that's a great point yeah and he's and he was great guy i really
00:31:11 He probably was like, where were you?
00:31:13 I didn't know this.
00:31:13 He was like, why weren't you here, you know?
00:31:15 So, but from all of those things,
00:31:17 so most certainly the weight of those things
00:31:20 has been very, very important to me.
00:31:21 I'm also a born again Christian, okay?
00:31:23 And without a doubt, I love Jesus Christ with all my heart.
00:31:26 And I do believe that there has always been
00:31:28 a spiritual call on Canada.
00:31:30 There's prophetic words on this nation
00:31:32 that have been given, okay?
00:31:33 And I believe that there is spiritual purpose
00:31:35 even in this end times, I believe that we live in to that.
00:31:38 I'll just leave that there.
00:31:39 so there and that to me is guides my life more than i i hope my personal ego uh i just feel
00:31:46 super blessed that as i write in the discreet fighting book for me a day i felt i finished a
00:31:51 i crossed a finish line if you will um i had i was a big fan of the british sas from the very
00:31:58 first engagement they had known the princess gates uh you know in 1980 counterterrorism deal
00:32:03 and i remember as a kid reading a newspaper article on it in 82 let's say a couple years
00:32:08 later i had the flaming dagger on my public school door and i remember like i was just passionate
00:32:12 about it and so forth and i always wanted to do you know to train and such the day that i walked
00:32:17 through hereford gates as an instructor to the regiment okay and then the day that i was leaving
00:32:23 camp and this is in the book so i'll say it but one of my instructors say robbie you walked out
00:32:27 to talk with some of the boys and i was talking with some of the brass and they were talking about
00:32:32 your contributions and they were putting you in the same conversations with bill underwood with
00:32:37 with william fairman dude i was fighting tears i mean that i i'd accomplished to to be a part of a
00:32:43 solution to be part of a team to help to train you know it's not about any individual it's about
00:32:48 being a part being recognized as part of the fight as as a level of elite people to to train
00:32:55 our men and women up to defend our freedom to defend our nation that to me has meant more than
00:32:59 than anything than some fight of who's the goat and whatever you know what i mean kind of a thing
00:33:04 right and so so my heart is really tied up in those things uh probably have never said this
00:33:08 in a podcast i appreciate you thank you uh camp x yeah okay so what are some of the cool things
00:33:14 that would be taught as a spy there well camp x the the great the really cool thing about camp x
00:33:20 is again i'm very careful to qualify as much as i can anything i say right off the top camp x what
00:33:25 was so special about it it was a super spy school so any of the soe schools that existed it was a
00:33:31 Special Operations Executive School, all the schools in the UK that existed, okay, they might
00:33:36 have taught anywhere from two, three to five courses. Camp X was a super school, man. There
00:33:41 was 52 courses that were taught, okay? And when they were standing up the American capability
00:33:47 beginning in the summer of 42, they took the Camp X courses, they took even the instructors and
00:33:53 started sending them to the states to rebuild and to start to build rather than to teach the
00:33:57 american capability so they were you know they were teaching all kinds of let's say secret agent
00:34:01 tradecraft that you know one would need everything from survival skills i mean everything you know
00:34:06 the the macgyver thing we grew up with right you know how do we take a freaking you know a match
00:34:11 stick and a stick of gum and blow up an apartment building you know kind of a thing right so a slight
00:34:15 exaggeration by the way i did a little thing with uh richard dean uh anderson did you really and uh
00:34:20 he told me he told me he couldn't get a lighter to work yeah yeah there you go yeah macgyver was
00:34:25 yeah there you go but survival tradecraft you know from the tradecraft that is used to again
00:34:31 disrupt most of the times agents were disruptors they would blow up railway tracks they would do
00:34:36 all these things okay they had to learn survival tradecraft they had to you to learn how to know
00:34:40 they defend themselves obviously potentially to kill some targets if they needed to but i would
00:34:46 argue what needs to be understand understood is that assassins weren't trained specifically with
00:34:50 assassination tradecraft at camp becks uh and nor or standard agents done that there are special
00:34:57 boys and girls for that got their full dedication that was under bsc that's when underwood trained
00:35:02 under stevenson and so forth and but every type of infill x fill type of skill and tradecraft um
00:35:09 you know we're certainly talking to psychological operations how to read the body how to be able to
00:35:13 read a conversation how to you know and so everything really we see in modern movies
00:35:17 that, you know, the spy tradecraft, it was started there.
00:35:20 I mean, the whole, you know, a shoe cell phone
00:35:25 that existed in Maxwell Smart in the 60s,
00:35:27 guess where that started?
00:35:28 Station M at Camp X.
00:35:30 What was it, like a radio?
00:35:31 Well, they didn't actually have, like, cell shoe phones,
00:35:34 but they had special gadgets that they would use.
00:35:36 Gadgets.
00:35:37 They had special gadgets.
00:35:37 I love gadgets.
00:35:38 Yeah, so the Cold War stuff,
00:35:39 and we got a lot of that with Maxwell Smart.
00:35:41 Dude, that started at Station M in Canada.
00:35:43 Okay, for example, with MI6, you know,
00:35:46 when we think of queue section when they're developing those things station m did that in
00:35:50 canada which was under casa loma it was in the basement of casa loma as far as where that was
00:35:54 done so they had all kinds of cool you know trade craft and things that had to be learned to be
00:35:59 trained in a short period of time try to get as much into them as possible and get them out the
00:36:03 door and that's uh you know so there was lecture halls there for sure there was uh all kinds of
00:36:08 supportive you know workshops and uh things to make and develop devices and all those kinds of
00:36:14 things a big thing with camp x was hydra we had and this would be a beef that i'm airing it just
00:36:19 comes out of me but you know we have a we have and it was a good movie you know imitation game
00:36:23 2014 benedict cumberbatch okay great movie that talked about the the plight of a british
00:36:29 intelligence at a bletchley park to crack the german enigma code and they did do it and alan
00:36:33 turing his machine etc well buddy why is it that no one talks about the fact that they do a
00:36:39 blockbuster movie on that canada had a a secret coding machine that was twice the capability of
00:36:47 what the germans or anybody had called rock x developed by canadian pat bailey at camp x just
00:36:52 over in oshawa was never cracked we don't hear anything about wow twice the capability and was
00:36:58 never why don't we hear about it do you think well i i believe there's a a couple of practical
00:37:03 reasons and one very specific reason one being that the personality of canadians for many many
00:37:09 years of course has been a little brother to the u.s we we're we don't generally tout our own i
00:37:14 think it's a fault with us i think we should be more vocal about our accomplishments we certainly
00:37:18 feel bitter that we're not more vocal about it like we often are like you know i mean look at
00:37:23 the arrow look at you know there's all kinds of programs there's a couple there are a couple of
00:37:26 right 100 but it's in the character it has been in the character of canadians to not really boast
00:37:32 so much and when you're beside the big bad american winning machine next door especially
00:37:36 with the hollywood media what's going to get the you know and i will say without naming it per se
00:37:41 there was a fairly sizable documentary done on camp x from a well-known american entity
00:37:48 and when we looked at the uh and they came up here filmed and my mentor was a part of it i was
00:37:53 there for some of it but the point is is that in the end the output of it was you would swear that
00:37:59 it was on canadian soil but canada had nothing to do with it they made it about american and
00:38:02 British contributions. And we complained about it to find out. They said, yeah, but the only reason
00:38:07 we got the contract was because the output had to go to DVD to be sold. Right. And no one's going
00:38:11 to buy a DVD about Canadians. Yeah. I'm sorry, but I've been in the business a long time. Well,
00:38:15 you would know, right. You would know. Canada is not a headliner. Right. We are not headliners.
00:38:20 That's that is 100 percent. And so we are the quiet professionals. And what I would say is,
00:38:25 is that and I released this in this book, I do believe there's a very poignant or pointed reason
00:38:31 why even our modern communities don't understand as much about Camp X,
00:38:36 which is something that my mentor, Lynn Phillip Hodgson, asked me.
00:38:41 I said, listen, you need to start to educate on this when I'm gone,
00:38:44 after I've passed, because it was dangerous for him at the time.
00:38:48 But one of the reasons why Camp X in Canada has always been super, super quiet
00:38:51 is that we had confession directly from CIA and from former RCMP intelligence
00:38:57 that there was a connection between Camp X and the Kennedy assassination.
00:39:00 during the Cold War in 1963.
00:39:03 What was that connection?
00:39:04 The connection was alleged to be sure,
00:39:06 but with more circumstantial evidence behind it.
00:39:09 I'm firmly convinced that the evidence is true.
00:39:12 Is that actually Lee Oswald was at Camp X for a week
00:39:17 from November 15th to November 20th, okay?
00:39:22 At Camp X for a week in the underground installations
00:39:26 that they had there undergoing MKUltra,
00:39:29 trauma-based mind control, okay?
00:39:30 and psychic driving and you know the mk ultra type you know programming type mental uh programs that
00:39:37 have been had so they would have been programming him yeah as a patsy and he was a patsy and they
00:39:42 were programming him and he left the camp only 24 hours before the shots were fired in dallas and
00:39:48 uh you know so they really they in your opinion yeah they put this out there they put this guy
00:39:55 out there fresh out of camp backs twisted and ready to use it well listen the the more probably
00:40:03 more of a an articulate way to put it is mk ultra or trauma-based mind control was open source and
00:40:09 being used even against civilians in the open media was known at a mcgill university you know
00:40:15 in cameron dr cameron at a mcgill university it was there were black and white documentaries in
00:40:20 the 70s about how they were doing this stuff and traumatizing civilians that's known well the
00:40:25 reality is camp x would have been a small substation to use off american territory to prep him as a
00:40:31 patsy to then drop him in which is the same mode of operation okay with sirhan sirhan and bobby
00:40:37 kennedy's assassination in 68 at the ambassador hotel same byproducts same situation same
00:40:43 programming exactly dropped in to the job well be a part of the job to be to blame would they know
00:40:49 do you think that they would know that they were going to be the patsies or would they have been
00:40:52 pumped with a different assignment that they thought they were i would doubt that they would
00:40:56 let them know that that would be the case i i would doubt that personally uh but i would simply say
00:41:02 that camp x was absolutely old homework old home week for the cia george white was the head of the
00:41:09 mk alta program he was a graduate from camp x okay alan dulles the head of cia during that period
00:41:16 was from Camp X.
00:41:17 Okay, J. Edgar Hoover,
00:41:18 who was alleged to
00:41:19 was the one that escorted,
00:41:21 okay, escorted him to the camp,
00:41:25 Oswald to the camp.
00:41:26 He was an old Camp X alumni.
00:41:28 You know, that was a...
00:41:28 If we had the time,
00:41:29 I could fill you in
00:41:30 in so much more history.
00:41:31 But so the point of the matter is,
00:41:33 and I will always say this,
00:41:35 my point and purpose
00:41:36 for addressing or bringing up
00:41:38 is just in answering a question.
00:41:40 I am not...
00:41:40 I've had some people say,
00:41:41 Robbie, oh my gosh,
00:41:42 are you sure you're safe
00:41:43 in mentioning this?
00:41:43 I was going to ask you that.
00:41:45 Yes, I do believe I am, because the point of the matter is, there's been, listen, there's been more books written on the Kennedy assassination than any other, you know, topic other than the Bible in Western culture, you know, and the reality is there's been far bigger fish to fry since then.
00:41:59 I am, I have never pursued nor remotely interested.
00:42:02 Robbie, you should keep, no, I'm done.
00:42:04 I have, I took what I was, learned and experienced from a mentor.
00:42:07 People want to know about true Camp X history.
00:42:09 I believe there was a connection, okay, between those two.
00:42:12 and it explains why we don't know much about modern history that's it i've gotten nothing
00:42:17 else to say you know that's the history that's what we believe i have no interest whatsoever
00:42:21 in pursuing it trying to you know we're not trying to offer photographs and testimony to try to no
00:42:25 whatever you know that's not as frankly i don't find kennedy all that interesting anymore it's
00:42:30 almost uh it's almost it's a bit of a bookend it's a bit of a book i understand really just
00:42:34 the understanding camp ex just just to give you a perspective on what the purpose what the application
00:42:39 Looking back now, that's a question that I get asked.
00:42:42 Just one of many impressive names, right?
00:42:45 Exactly.
00:42:45 It's one of, it just shows the important role that, you know,
00:42:49 and, you know, that Camp X played.
00:42:51 And, you know, and another piece as well,
00:42:53 the entire Cold War arguably started at Camp X.
00:42:56 The entire Cold War.
00:42:57 That was kind of my end direction on this.
00:42:59 Well, let me explain why.
00:43:00 Because in 1945, Igor Gazenko was a Russian cipher clerk in Ottawa
00:43:04 at the Russian embassy.
00:43:06 Okay.
00:43:06 The Igor Gazenko affair.
00:43:07 Yeah.
00:43:07 he decided to defect came to a canadian there's a long story too which is fascinating i won't give
00:43:13 you that one he showed up at a canadian government facility saying i'm a russian spy admitted it i
00:43:19 have documents proof of a major infestation of russian spies inside the canadian government
00:43:26 i want to defect with my wife okay i'm willing to give all of this to you okay they took and
00:43:32 They hid him at Camp X.
00:43:33 They brought Stevenson back.
00:43:35 Because that's part of the story.
00:43:36 And that started the Cold War.
00:43:37 If you read about that, it says they put him into hiding for a period of time.
00:43:41 Camp X was the location.
00:43:43 He was there for the first two years.
00:43:44 Okay.
00:43:45 Now, the reality is, is that that's where the Camp X.
00:43:48 So, again, again, for frick's sakes, we've got the entire Cold War starting in Oshawa, too.
00:43:52 Like, what the heck, man? 0.87
00:43:54 You know, like, you can't make this stuff up. 0.87
00:43:56 You know what I mean?
00:43:56 It's interesting to me that we don't make a point of pride of camp.
00:43:59 Like, hashtag proud of Camp X.
00:44:02 Well, listen, would you allow me to make it
00:44:05 to be the only political comment that I make
00:44:06 if you allow me to make one?
00:44:07 Please, go ahead.
00:44:09 Am I okay?
00:44:09 Well, I will just say this. 0.95
00:44:10 Why is it, if we recognize these things as Canadians
00:44:14 and look at our history and look where we're at, 0.82
00:44:16 why is it that Polyev refuses to get a security clearance
00:44:20 that would allow him to confess what we know
00:44:23 is massive foreign interference in our current government
00:44:26 when it's, oh, that's a conflict of interest? 0.87
00:44:28 Bullcrap.
00:44:28 I work with international lawyers, no international lawyers. 0.91
00:44:31 Okay, it's called precedence.
00:44:33 There's absolutely every reason.
00:44:34 It's a far bigger precedence to disclose potential crime at that level,
00:44:40 yet he won't get it, yet we're dealing with the same issue.
00:44:42 Oh, no, ignore it, ignore it.
00:44:43 No one will talk about it.
00:44:44 No one won't answer to it.
00:44:46 Yet the whole Cold War was started over the very same issue,
00:44:49 foreign interference.
00:44:50 Where's the problem here? 0.99
00:44:52 Where's the issue here?
00:44:53 There's something else afoot.
00:44:55 So all I'll say is, all I'll say is, and I leave it there.
00:44:58 I'm not wanting to get in a soapbox with that.
00:45:00 All I'm saying is, I am big.
00:45:02 You ask the question.
00:45:03 I'm just asking the questions, man.
00:45:05 And I think it's important for Canadians to look at our history,
00:45:08 to understand the greatness of our genetics,
00:45:10 to understand our grandparents did phenomenal things,
00:45:13 and we are respected within the special operations world.
00:45:16 Listen, our JTF2 guys are top of the stack, okay?
00:45:19 They are respected as some of the most,
00:45:21 the modern definition of an elite soldier is Canada's JTF2,
00:45:25 Not SEAL Team 6, not Delta.
00:45:27 You know, they all have their own accolades in different positions.
00:45:30 But, man, Canada has first, even in a modern environment,
00:45:33 so many things and we'll never hear about it.
00:45:35 And that's okay.
00:45:36 But Canadians should be encouraged. 0.70
00:45:39 We've got phenomenal genetics.
00:45:40 Ask questions.
00:45:41 Stand up.
00:45:42 Know your history.
00:45:43 Understand where we come from.
00:45:45 Because you know what?
00:45:45 This nation has been nothing but a blessing under God.
00:45:48 You made my Father's Day.
00:45:50 I'm going to make sure that each of my kids gives me one of these.
00:45:52 And I'll encourage you to get them as well.
00:45:55 Rob Cressman's book, Camp X, Ghost War, Can't Kill a Shadow.
00:46:00 I like it.
00:46:02 And I'll go back in time to the beginning.
00:46:05 And, of course, the Bill Underwood legacy tracking the little giant killer
00:46:09 and the modern-day updated version of it.
00:46:14 Rob Cressman's discreet fighting, how he handles his business out there now
00:46:18 with the NATO affiliates that we deal with and our allies.
