Yeah, and, and I think, you know, and from the '70s onwards you start to see, um, so Nugan Hand Bank, which is, was pretty much a CIA operation run out of Australia, um, a lot of it was, or a lot of the bank was dedicated to washing the profits out of, uh, Golden Triangle heroin, um, and organized crime and s- it was s- the classic kind of CIA black bank.

Um, and in the '80s, you know, the B- BCCI, Iran-Contra, you have a lot of people moving through the Pacific either towards Asia or in the Pacific itself, um- You know, you had, uh, coups happening in Fiji in the '80s where ex-CIA directors were showing up to basically tell the Fijian Labor Party, "Hey, you can't have a nuclear free ban." Um, and then a, a bunch of, uh, Israeli Uzis show up in the '80s, uh, you know, four days before the coup.
