Cold War

That's a communist revolution that is happening over in Europe.

And if Europe falls to communists, a Cold War would be the best scenario.

Most of us have spent years angry about what's being done to our schools and our churches, our news, our country, our military.

And honestly, they earned our anger.

What would have happened? Because the way you describe it, you also describe it in your book about the Marshall Plan.

Truman becomes president, the war ends, the Cold War starts, and Truman basically leads us into the Cold War.

Let's do a counterfactual.

Wallace wins the vice president's nomination for the fourth term, FDR dies, and Henry Wallace becomes president of the United States.

Of course, we did still have significant forces.

By the

way, my favorite quote during the whole Cold War is when Molotov is in the White House talking to Truman, and Truman's yelling at him.

You don't like to be spoken to.

Space race war, whatever the hell it is.

If you want to look that article up, it is An American Cold War Era Satellite Just Exploded Above Earth and Nobody Knows Why from Live Science, September 28th, 2026.

Last thing, guys, I'm going to leave you on some good news.

Ready? We always like to do that here on this show.

I mean, it's hard to find any...

Anything that really talks about some of these men from back then, and I'll get to why that is, because once you start to work in more clandestine operations, or obviously it's during the Cold War and during very sensitive times, so a lot of stuff you do, you don't want it to be public.

Yeah.

You know, as far as what metals you've done, any of your history and your background, and I'll get into that.

The 5th Air Force was called upon during Korea becoming the main UN command combat aircraft.

United nations command combat air command.

But by 1961, us air force in Europe was at absolute center at the absolute center of cold war tension.

The Berlin crisis erupted in 61.

And just create this whole thing without there being something bigger at play.

And what I'm getting at is this same era of like doom and destruction, dawn of the Cold War, is when you have all these crazy CIA conspiracies going on like MKUltra, them trying to do all kinds of shit to people to work on mind control basically.

It would make sense to me that you would try to make some sort of organization that's under your umbrella, meaning in the United States, obviously they operated globally, but it's a guy who's from the United States creating it who could also move it globally where you get some assets in other places, and try to experiment with how much you could use natural tendencies to control people, meaning not necessarily putting some LSD in your drink and trying to figure out if then – you listen to them.

But like, if you actually do a long-term brainwashing of people, could you get them under your thumb? And then maybe there's, I don't know, and now it gets a 12 D chest.

And through Israel, we're trying to solidify our grip on the oil jugular, the control of the oil fields.

Because reaching back into the 1990s after the Cold War ended, there was a growing consensus that if you controlled the oil resources in the Middle East, you had China by the throat.

it's kind of astonishing you stop and think about that we were already starting to treat china as an enemy but this is the problem in washington that we set out after 1991 to make sure no one anywhere on the globe could ever challenge us well that's brought us into conflict all over the country all over the world it's been disastrous for us but that's where we are so when you talk about diesel right now we're looking at the situation in europe which is very bad It's also bad in Japan, in Korea, in Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, parts of Africa.

This also extends to fertilizer.

That's not.

What? What? But during the 1964 re-election bid, in the midst of the Cold War, this ad is among the most famous campaign commercials of all time.

It ran only once during the NBC broadcast on Monday night, but it was enough to scare the pants off of an already skittish electorate by painting his Republican opponent, Barry Goldwater, as a dangerous right-wing extremist who'd bring the world to the brink of disaster.

Johnson won that election with 90% of the electoral vote.

Let's see what else we got up on here.

Cold War certificates, dependents, discharge, discharge upgrades.

I know when I was in, when I was at duty, we had a bunch of folks who would come on base with their dependents.

I guess they knew somebody.

That popped into my head because Jim Carrey's a crazy guy.

Most of what I know about Cuba involves either the Cold War or Ricky Ricardo.

There you go.

Bye-bye, Luke.
