just be so much better at figuring out what's going on that they just don't need it. Well, Jen Psaki, spokesperson for Biden, is reportedly going to leave for MSNBC. She hasn't finalized a deal there. But the important thing to know is that according to people who know more than I do, NBC is maybe the closest network to the CIA's control, meaning that the most reliably CIA messaging entity. Now I…

we don't know how many of these Switchblade drones there are. But I would say that those two numbers are the only numbers that will tell you what's going to happen. So I'm boiling it down. The only thing that will tell you what's happening is how many drones do the Ukrainians have? We don't know. And how much fuel do the Russians have? We don't know. The only two things that matter and we don't know anything about either, with the public. The military probably does.

So for the last several days somebody has been screaming at me on YouTube in the comments that if I don't understand what Operation Gladio is then I don't understand anything. And so I said to myself, well I'll look into it because I had no reason to dismiss the comment. And whoever was saying it was pretty adamant.

So here's what Operation Gladio reportedly is. NATO has terrorist forces. That's the whole story. NATO has officially trained terrorists and they use them as leave-behind forces in case your country gets overrun. So if a NATO country gets overrun they already have spun up the terrorist forces that remain as part of the resistance. And they're actually terrorists, like actually literally terrorists.

And apparently there have been a number of discoveries of these various groups in different countries. And apparently it's fairly confirmed. I mean Wikipedia treats it like it's a fact, if you want to take that as your source. But does that change anything for you? Because the Gladio operation, Gladio would be terrorists working for your team. Are you comfortable having terrorists on your team? Because apparently we do. If you're on team NATO, apparently you're pro-terrorist. Sorry.

Now you could call them saboteurs, sure. So depending on the context of has your country been invaded? Well then they're not terrorists then, they're freedom fighters. But they're basically terrorists. Now part of what they would do is false flags. Now it's getting a little creepy, isn't it?

So allegedly what these Gladio people would do, among other things, is kill civilians of their own to make it look like the other side did it. So how do you like your team now? How do you like being on team NATO knowing that your team are literally terrorists? I'm okay with it. Are you? Is there anybody who has a problem with it? I'm okay with it.

I mean it's part of what makes it a bad idea to try to conquer your neighbor. If anything that NATO does is making it really, really hard to conquer your neighbor, I'm okay with that. Now nobody's in favor of killing civilians. I mean not that. But as soon as you say we're in a war, then the strategy changes to how do you do well? All right, we'd rather have no war, but if you're in one, well you're going to fight to win, right?

So one of the ways to fight to win are these false flag things. The reason people do it is because it works. If it didn't work people wouldn't do it. So if you want to win you do what works, as ugly as that is. So you could be morally outraged and should be, I guess, but it's going to happen anyway. Your moral outrage won't change anything.

So I don't know if the person asking me to look into that is on here, but are you satisfied? Or have I missed something about this Operation Gladio? Is there anything that ties it close? Because I believe that the point of it was for me to understand that NATO is not all unicorns and roses. An

d I take that as, first of all, something that was obvious in my opinion. But secondly, okay, I will accept that. A little history lesson. I'm not sure it adds or subtracts anything because war is dirty business. So I'm not surprised that CIA-related people are doing awful things. That's not new news. All right. Did you see the deepfake video of Zelensky? So somebody did an AI-generated deepfake…
