Governments and special offices within governments have understood the value of recruiting celebrities to carry their message.  From actors, musicians, sports stars, authors etc. they understand the emotional connection between the audience and the created fantasy of the celebrity. The question is, do we fully understand how deep it goes, how long it's been going on, what the agenda is and why it's effective even today?  Let's look into celebrity C.I.A. agents and arm ourselves against this onslaught of lies, deceit and manipulation from those who promise to work for our benefit. Not our demise!

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hi, everybody, it's me Cinderella Acts. You are listening to

right at the top of the page. I know, slippers,
we gotta keep cleaning these chimneys.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
I was working full time at the airport, translating for English,
Spanish and French. There was somebody always undercover in customs.
He said, yeah, we would like to invite you to
join the CIA, and my mom like the drama immediately started.
Oh no, so I didn't do it.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
Supposedly, there was a stand in on a job I
did once and this guy was I was.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
Like, would you you know?

Speaker 4 (01:08):
Have you always done this?

Speaker 3 (01:09):
He's like, no, what's your job before this? He was
I worked for the CIA?

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Kidding me? Really?

Speaker 4 (01:15):
He was like, yeah, I was a CIA agent.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
Here's a weird and maybe this isn't true. But you,
Jim did train with the was it the Navy Seals?

Speaker 4 (01:24):
Is that made up nonsense?

Speaker 3 (01:26):
I did not train with the Navy Seals. But what
that might be referring to is when I did The Grinch,
I was literally the makeup was like being buried alive
every day.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
How long did it?

Speaker 3 (01:38):
The first day was eight and a half hours. And
I went back to my trailer and put my leg
through the wall and I told Ron Howard I couldn't
do the movie. And then Brian Grazer came in and
being the fix it man, and came up with a
brilliant idea, which was to hire a gentleman who is
trained to teach CIA operatives how to endure torture.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
It is not rare that people in entertainment are recruited
by the CIA.

Speaker 4 (02:06):
Ellen is in the CIA? Is something wrong with that?

Speaker 1 (02:47):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (02:47):
Welcome everybody INWCZ radio dot com channel ones down the
rabbit hole. I'm big d it's a midweek condition. Thanks
so much for sharing this time with me. Always appreciate it.
Remember you can email us down the r H ProtonMail
dot com. Down the RHAT ProtonMail dot com. I'm always
amazed and intrigued by the notion that we allow celebrities,

(03:16):
Hollywood musicians, stars to influence us without ever really getting
behind the truth, getting to the root of why why
do we allow them to do that? What is it
about celebrities? What is it about stars? What is it

(03:37):
about a certain musician? And we are all guilty of it.
We all fanboy We all have our favorite singers, we
have our favorite actors, we have our favorite movies and
so forth. But we allow ourselves to be manipulated by
these people. We listen to what they say. We don't

(03:57):
do the same thing for our mechanic. We don't do
the same thing for a really great plumber or any
other airline pilot. We don't go to them for their
views on the world, their views on religion, their views
on anything outside of what they're an expert on. Actors, musicians,

(04:21):
celebrities are good at a craft of acting or writing
a song and performing, But yet we allow them to
influence us. Sway us tell us shod to vote for
how we should be thinking on the world stage about

(04:42):
political issues and world issues. It is a head scratcher
to me. Well, I believe there's a very serious problem
here and what we're going to talk about today. And
I know we've talked a lot about the CIA via
MK Ultra, paper Clip, all of their operations and so forth,

(05:05):
A Mockingbird, all of them. But I want to talk
today about the connection between the CIA and our celebrities
because it is extremely deep, and I don't think a
lot of people see what's right in front of their face.
People we see on TV, the things they say, the

(05:27):
people we see in the movies and when they're interviewed,
and musicians when they spout stuff from the stage, either
before or after the most popular song, many of them
men me are influenced by hired by, are assets of
the CIA. They're being paid, they're an operative, they are

(05:52):
spouting a narrative, they are being told what to say.
And a lot of people who know something's off, they
think it's weird. Why would they say that, Why would
they do that? Why are they even talking about this
or that? Don't stop to question why is it really
their opinion or are they a plant? And we're going

(06:12):
to get kind of deep in the weeds today because
we're going to start with things that are or should
be pretty well known. If you are aware of this
at all. And for those of you who are not
aware of this, this is not a conspiracy theory. This
isn't even a theory, it's a fact. We're going to
go through some celebrities who are well known to have

(06:36):
operated for the CIA or some sort of United States
spy service. And we kind of touched on it in
the last episode where we talked about the jazz musicians
and the artists who were by third degree of separation,
funded by the CIA sent around the world as quote ambassadors. Well,

(06:58):
this happens all the time, and it is mind bending.
So we're going to start with some of the obvious
and then we're going to roll into some of the
not so obvious where you kind of have to make connections.
And I'll say, no rock solid proof, but I believe
what's there. The evidence speaks for itself. I'll say it

(07:21):
is no secret that the CIA, US filmmakers and movie
stars have worked hand in hand for a long time.
I mean, you can go all the way back to
practically the beginning of motion pictures. I could mention a
lot of people who were in silent films and then

(07:42):
in the early movies where sound was introduced, who were
operating on behalf of the US government. Whether it was
propaganda or whether it was for the war effort, whatever
it was, they were being paid to give out a
certain narrative and to influence people it one way or

(08:05):
the other, whichever way the government and at that time
it wasn't the CIA. I think it was the OSS.
But it's been going on for a long time, so
sort of more in recent years, people you would know.
We'll start with Angelina Jolie. She has had several roles,
in particular her one in a movie called Salt, which

(08:27):
was put out I think in twenty ten. It's a
spy thriller, obviously, and she's done a lot of these.
She visited the CIA headquarters to be consulted while preparing
for this and after that, after that visit, she did

(08:49):
a complete change in her approach to movies, the roles
she accepted and what she started talking about in her
interviews and so forth. Do we have a paper that
says CIA asset Angelina Jolie. No, but it's pretty evident,
pretty obvious, and those around her have said, oh yeah,
when she went there to the headquarters to be consulted,

(09:10):
it was more than that and she went for a
long time, and so now they I believe. I believe anyway,
they dictate to her how she's supposed to interact with
the public, the roles she's supposed to take, how she's
supposed to approach these characters, and so forth. Jennifer Garner
is another one. She had a TV show or series

(09:31):
titled Alias where she played a CIA double agent. Not
only did she study at Langley for this role and
went through all the training and everything. She's even done
recruitment videos for the CIA, not ones that we would
see they're not trying to recruit us, but within the

(09:53):
movie industry, Oh hey, you want to be a star,
or you are a star, you want to earn some
extra cash. The CIA will protect you. You will get
certain roles. They will train you and teach you how
to do it. All you have to do is basically
what they say. One of the more notorious in the

(10:14):
recent history was Sean Penn. And Sean Penn who was
Pacoli way back in the day and had a lot
of goofy rolls. He was sort of the bro guy
of the eighties. Stoner Guy did a complete about face
and at one point he actually went to have an

(10:35):
interview with this guy, El Chapo, who was a Mexican
drug lord. Out of the blue. How does he know
el Chapo? How did he get this interview? What's he
doing there? Nobody knows. But not long after impact, very
shortly after John Penn was there, the CIA rushes in

(10:55):
and arrests El Chapo because now they know where he is.
Sean Penn, and obviously was some sort of an agent,
came back with information. Dennis Rodman was another one where
remember when he went to North Korea to talk to
Kim Young un? How does Dennis Rodman who's an NBA
player who's been out of the NBA for a long
time but linked up with Madonna and all these other people,

(11:19):
who are you quote Pop probably CIA assets, definitely mind
controlled by somebody, But Dennis Rodman, this is the guy
who wears a dress, has facial tattoos and ring nose
rings and ear rings and all this. He's very flamboyant.
The last person you would think would go to North Korea.

(11:39):
Yeah he did. How does that even work? Ben Affleck
is another one. He obviously starred as Jack Ryan in
the two thousand and two thriller of the Sum of
All Fears and also was in the film Our Go,
And he also did recruit films and spoke highly the

(12:00):
CIA his time there training how he had gotten other
people involved with the CIA so that they could quote
learn their roles. So these are just pretty out there.
They're not hard to find this kind of information. There
was a movie in twenty twelve called Zero Dark thirty

(12:20):
and this was a movie where the CIA was on
the film set. They were there, they had a liaison
officer who was there dictating how this went. Same thing
for the Sum of All Fears the TV show Homeland.
If you ever saw that, all of these are pretty
well known if you decide to look into it. They

(12:44):
don't tell you that, and Hollywood's certainly not going to
promote that. They would like to keep it as hidden
as possible. But every now and then it just becomes obvious,
so questions are asked and then oh, yeah, well they
just went and trained, or they were just training for
a role, but there's any shift in their career from
that point. This was an interesting article that I was

(13:08):
reading as well. It is titled Dolippa Taylor Swift former
US official Mike Binns claims that USAID, who's in league
with the CIA, uses celebrities to destabilize governments, and I'll
just read the articles very short. Former US official Mike
Binns has claimed that USAID has trained musical artists including

(13:31):
dou Alippa, Pussy Riot, and possibly Taylor Swift, to act
as assets in spreading political narratives for state craft purposes.
He suggested that these efforts are part of a broader
initiative to influence public opinion and destabilize governments. Benn said
celebrities who can be trained to spread desired messaging are

(13:54):
actively recruited and used as quote network nodes. He cited
NATO linked initiatives and USAID backed music diplomacy programs as
key drivers behind these efforts, and then he goes on
to explain how Taylor Swift and du A Lip and
all these other ones have been involved in this. They
get recruited, says. According to Ben's the US government has

(14:18):
used similar tactics worldwide, particularly through USAID's music diplomacy program.
Some of the rappers, breakdancers, poet singers, and DJs come
from Australia, Austria, Bangladesh, Cameroon, Costa Rica, France, Greece, India,
and it goes all the way down South Africa, Spain, Switzerland,

(14:39):
so a lot of people, a lot of people. He
says that USAID has supported artists of various countries, and
it's sometimes protest rock or a protest rap. They send
these popular, famous artists into situations to do a concert,
just like we talked about with the jazz group on

(15:01):
the last show. They send them in and they are
to give a particular message, not just from the stage,
but when they're interviewed on local radio stations, when they're
interviewed by the press, the people that they hang around,
usually these big stars, they invite, of course the dignitaries
of the country. And it happens here as well. I

(15:23):
have seen this in the music business personally. I have
watched transformations happen and you wonder what's going on with
these guys. They didn't even know where this certain country was,
or they had no clue who was holding such and
such an office, And the next thing you know, they
are all on board and they are being used as

(15:47):
an asset. Once you recognize it, you can't unrecognize it.
But most people, because of the psychological makeup in the
emotional that has developed through these arts, whether it be music, movies, books,

(16:08):
there's emotional connection. They know that it is an absolute manipulation.
Does it make the medium evil? Know it's how they
use the medium, And they know that people will look
up to these so called celebrities and these so called stars,
and so the CIA recruits them. Here are some old

(16:29):
school celebrities or notable people who have been confirmed to
be CIA agents. And we're gonna start with somebody you
probably heard of. She's been gone for a long time.
I remember my mom watching her. It was Julia Child's.
Julia Childs was this the French chef, and she worked

(16:51):
for the Office of Strategic Services, which of course later
became the CIA, and she worked during World War Two.
She was apparently known for developing some sort of shark
repellent which deterred sharks from triggering underwater bombs, and this

(17:13):
then became one of the most famous TV chefs during
her time. And if you ever watched her shows, she
would subtly put in things to kind of direct you
into how you should vote, how you should think. She
never ever admitted it, but after she passed away it
became very known that that is what she did. She

(17:36):
remained on the role. The payroll tell the end. Many
of you have heard of Harriet Tubman. She was most
notably famous for the underground railroad that led three hundred
or more enslaved people up into Canada. But she also

(17:56):
served as a Union spy and a military commander during
the war. And now, of course the CIA wasn't there
at the time. This was a very influential person at
the time. She led three US gunboats and one hundred
and fifty African American soldiers on a raid and she
gathered intelligence behind enemy lines. Was she a celebrity, Well,

(18:18):
I mean back then there were very few celebrities, I
will say, because it was mostly stage and traveling groups.
But she was a notable person, so I'm going to
include her. A very famous actress who back in the
day is Marlene Dietrich. Marlene Dietrice was at one point
seeing as one of the more beautiful women in Hollywood.

(18:41):
Carry Grant and Greta Garbo both were spies during World
War Two and they tracked Nazi sympathizers. One of their
accomplices was this Marline Dietrich, who became a US citizen
after refusing to return to Germany. So she would go
around and quote entertain American troops and then record propaganda

(19:04):
albums and then send them to her homeland in Germany
to lower morale for German troops. She worked behind the line.
She would go on these tours, collect information, try to
sway people. Was part of the propaganda machine, but she
was paid for by the US government and the OSS,

(19:27):
which eventually became the CIA. Meanwhile, she's an actress and
she was very very famous at the time. Nobody knew this.
Harry Houdini was another one. Harry Houdini, who was a
magician illusionists, was asked by the American Secret Service to
infiltrate Russian police stations and gather information. According to how

(19:51):
this worked, Houdini would enter the station, demand to be
locked up, use his escape tactics to impress local law
enforcement all the while while while he's in there, he's
collecting valuable information at all these locations and using magic
as a cover up the entertainment. And the last one

(20:12):
on this list that I have and I have some others,
is Howard Hunt. Howard Hunt served the CIA in various
roles from the nineteen fifties to the nineteen seventies. He
helped plan the Bay of Pigs invasion. In nineteen sixty one,
he was involved in the Watergate scandal, and it goes on.
There was also a professional baseball player. His name was

(20:33):
moe Berg. He was a as they put it, first
rate spy for US intelligence and sent behind Emmy lines
during World War Two. He played for the Chicago White Sox,
Cleveland Indians, Boston Red Sox, and the Washington Senators. He
had a Princeton degree and was fluent in eight languages.

(20:54):
So this, of course is a guy that they would
want to recruit. He was sent on missions to South
America and he met with top Nazi scientists in Switzerland.
So when he was meeting with these top Nazi scientists
in Switzerland and he's a baseball player, he had orders

(21:16):
to shoot these scientists if he found out that Germany
was close to building an a bomb, and then he'd
come back home and play baseball. Now, he wasn't a
superstar in baseball, but you can see how this works.
Josephine Baker was an African American singer dancer, and she

(21:37):
left the United States for France in the thirties and
they loved her over there. Well, while she's over there,
the US of course contacts her and says, while you're there,
can you go meet these people. We'll arrange all these
things and send us back information. So how did she
do it? She did it on sheet music. It was code.

(22:00):
She would take sheet music. She would sing for the
top brass and listen to them talk, they would drink,
spill secrets, and then she would write it down as
notes on her sheet music and mail it back to
the United States. Coco Chanel was another one. She, of course,

(22:27):
was a famous French designer. Papers declassified after World War
II suggested that Chanelle's code name was Westminster and that
she spied for the Nazis. In nineteen forty two, they
sent her to Spain with a secret letter to her friend,
Prime Minister Winston Churchill, proposing that the UK and Germany
sin a separate peace agreement. So they were using her

(22:50):
behind the scenes. Harpo Marx was another one, and I mean,
I could go on, does that apply today? Absolutely? Coming
in the clips you heard one of them was Gloria Estefon.
There was Jim Carrey talking about Ellen DeGeneres. It has
not stopped. I know for a fact that it happens

(23:11):
in the music industry. Are they all operatives? Are they
all paid by the CIA? Of course not, but certain
ones are. And when you see it and you know
what's going on, you can pick it out and it
becomes very, very evident. The one I want to really
dial in on today because I found this whole thing

(23:35):
very unusual. I was never a fan of Leonard Cohen.
His music really has never done anything for me. But
I respect what he has done. I know who he is,
and Leonard Cohen has since passed. But Leonard Cohen was
a poet on some level, and a lot of people
really enjoyed his music. A lot of people called him

(23:56):
sort of the Bob Dylan of Canada. However, Leonard Cohen,
as we dive into this, you're going to find out
that his life was not just producing albums. He has
a very strange past and a lot of CIA operative activities,

(24:19):
I'll say, in him. So, there was a lady named
Anne Diamond, and she's a Montreal writer and journalist and
she wrote a book called The Man next Door. She
was a very close friend with Leonard Cohne. She also
used to be his next door neighbor, and in her
testimony she says that Leonard Cohne was a soldier of

(24:42):
fortune and intelligence operative and that he was tied to
larger social engineering agendas, also tied to psychological warfare programs,
and was a product of MK ultra mind control experiment.
And of course you know me that that caught my attention.

(25:06):
How would Leonard Kohne be involved in mk Ultra? How
could that even be a thing? And in this book
she says, quote it should be obvious to anyone who
grew up in Montreal and knows the hidden history of
those years that the singer songwriter has spent most of
his life circling a crime scene and singing about it
in a veiled but consistent way, like Hansel scattering hopeful breadcrumbs.

(25:32):
So let's start at the beginning with Leonard Cohne, and
let's look at what is she talking about. Is there
any legitimacy to this? Well Lyonyard Cohne grew up and
his family had huge connections to very wealthy families, including
the Rothschilds and the Windsors. It's pretty well known throughout

(25:56):
history that Jacob Rothschild sent Lennard Cone to the Greek
island of Hydra in nineteen fifty nine. If you look
into and we'll probably do a tire show one day
on Hydra, what went on out there. It was a
massively deep connected retreat for operatives. Now Cohn went out there,

(26:20):
and you can watch video of it. It's sort of
these beatnicks. They're just kind of hanging out at this
huge castle that's owned by the Rothschilds, and they're playing
their guitars and sort of the pre hippie movement, but
that was the guys. In fact, it was so strange.
There was a famous magazine at the time that sent

(26:42):
a reporter to Hydra while Leonard Cohne was there. Nobody
knows why. They weren't doing anything special. He wasn't known
at the time. He was not a star, but there
were a lot of people around him that were very
wealthy and they were all hanging out there, and so
I think it was now sectional Geographic Center reporter there
hung out with him for a week. This is where

(27:04):
these photos and some of these videos come from. He
wrote a story and that story has never been published.
A lot of people speculate that what he found out
was not allowed to be put into this article. We
don't know that because it's never been seen, so you
can make of that what you will. Also, this idea

(27:27):
that Leonard Cohne was some sort of mk ULTRA programmed person.
Here's how that goes down. While he was in Montreal,
he was very involved in the local scene and he
allowed himself at times to be experimented on. He was
going to one of the colleges where mk Ultra was

(27:47):
being implemented. He hung out at the Allen Memorial Institute,
which was the home of the mk Ultra in Montreal.
It was a half an hour walk from his house.
He would go down there and get paid, get paid
to do these experiments. I want to go back to
this Jacob Rothschild while we're in this mode right here,
because if you don't know anything about Jacob Rothschild, he

(28:11):
allegedly at some point controlled five and six. But he
definitely was one of the founders of the Tavistock Institute.
And if you are not familiar with the Tavistock Institute,
I did an entire show on that. There's some really
great books out there. It is an institute over in
England that is sole purpose is to change people's minds,

(28:32):
and they're notorious for all kinds of experiments and they
were one of the ground level introductory institutions for this
mk ultra. McGill University is where Cone was going, and
McGill University is where this hospital was and where some
of the professors and the doctors were in Montreal that

(28:53):
were involved in the mk Ultra. While Cone was involved
in the local poetry scene on campus, he won a
couple of awards for some of his poems, and he
was starting to kind of gather his voice and play
the guitar and so forth. But he's doing the mk
ultra experiments. There is record where he was actually kept

(29:17):
while he was under some influence or whatever, for longer
than he was supposed to, so we don't know all
that went on, but there are photos of Leonard Khne
in a bed in an mk ultra experiment that happened
during this time. He changed obviously. Then he went over

(29:38):
to London and became part of immediately this London underground
scene where he's hanging out with authors and poets and people,
and nobody can understand how this guy Leonard Kohne all
of a sudden has all these influential people around him.

(29:58):
Part of it to connections. His parents were very well connected.
Obviously they knew the Rothschilds and all these different people.
So if Leonard Cone showed up, there was that connection.
But they all accepted him and they were training him.
As a lot of people say. During that time, he
cultivated friendships with a black power activist named Michael X

(30:22):
who was an enforcer and he was an alleged Israeli spy.
Also a guy named Peter Ratchman. All these people are
nobody you would want to be connected with if you're
going into the music business. And that was from there.
He went to Hydra, and according to this, upon arriving
he looked up at Barbara Hutchinson, ex wife of Victor Rothschild,

(30:46):
who was living with a Greek painter. Soon afterwards, the
mansion was totally gutted in a fire, an auspicious beginning
to a year in which the still unpublished novelist was
photographed with others at this Hydra Blehemian Owes Life magazine,
a major coup for an unpublished novelist and folk singer

(31:07):
who had not written any songs yet, so they went
over to cover him. It was going to be a
propaganda piece. Here's the next big thing. Here's another weird incidents.
Spring of nineteen sixty one. Leonard Kohane just happened to
arrive in Havana. And if you know anything about Cuba
during that time, you had the Bay of Pigs going on.

(31:30):
There was all kind of tension between the United States Russia.
Cuba was caught in the middle. Now he's Canadian, but
there's nobody was supposed to be there. According to this,
he flew in just days ahead of the Bay of
Pigs invasion, nearly causing an international incident when Castro's troop
arrested him and suspected him as a CIA agent. The

(31:57):
reality is as he was. He also appeared at very
strange locations and timings just ahead of I'll just say
historical events. He was in London as when Jimmy Hendrix died.
He was in Montreal on the eve of the War

(32:17):
Measures Act. He was in Israel just days before the
Young Kapour War broke out. He was in Ethiopia for
the CIA and Masad backed overthrow of their leader. He
was in Manhattan when John Lennon died, and he bragged
about being the last person to see Janis Joplin alive

(32:40):
claims that they were having a thing. He was at
the hotel, they had you know, their sex, and then
he left and she died. Coincidences maybe, but it's a
lot of coincidences. What are some of the songs that
Cone has written that might lend us to believe that

(33:00):
he was under some sort of mind control or some
deeper operative according to this article, and this is also
according to the book, and I do recommend this book.
In the eighties he was apparently getting deeper programmed, and
apart from his skills, he had acquired weapons and weapon
training over a decade after leaving Montreal for London and Hydra.

(33:25):
He even described his MK Ultra background in a song,
and it says Field Commander Cone was our most important spy,
wounded in the line of duty, parachuting acid into diplomatic
cocktail parties. By the eighties, Cone was pinning songs filled
with end times, programming scripts and triggers. Now here's the thing.

(33:46):
When Cone was an artist, he had some fans, but
it was basically almost like a cult following a cult
audience type of thing. According to some of his writings,
he had privileged access to the quote secret text that
entailed divine punishment for the generation that had embraced all

(34:08):
of the sex, drugs and rock and roll. His songs
increasingly resemble predictive programming for mass destruction, darkness, and the flood.
He's one of the very first artists to introduce the
New World Order into Western audiences. He discussed freemasonry, Kabbala,

(34:29):
Babylonian mystery cults into his songs. One of the interesting
things about Leonard Cone also was his symbolism on his
albums and things that he created and so forth. On
the nineteen ninety two album The Future, it features a
hummingbird rising up from a blue and black heart, which

(34:50):
seems to hover above a pair of handcuffs, symbolic of
quote freedom in the New World Order. The title song
introduced another apocalyptic slogan, quote, I've seen the future, baby,
it is murder. According to the book that was written
about Leonard Cohne, it says the hummingbird and handcuffs on

(35:12):
the album Jacket of the Future always made me think
of the passage from the novel Cockpit by another mysterious fellow,
Jerry Kozinski, and here was his quote. I was one
of the specifically trained groups of agents called the Hummingbirds.
The men and women of this group are so valuable
that to protect their cover, no central file is kept

(35:33):
on them, and their identities are seldom divulged to other agents.
Most hummingbirds remain on assignment as long as they lead
active cover lives, usually as high ranking government officials, military
or cultural officials based in foreign countries. Others served as businessmen, scientists, editors,

(35:54):
writers and artists. But I always used to wonder what
would happen if a hummingbird vanished, leaving no proof. According
to Rothschild's own biography, which was titled Profits of Money,
there's a chapter in there about a royal Caucasian family.
In this they say that they're really proud of having

(36:15):
married into the Cone family. Well, who are the Cone family? Well,
the Cones can trace their ancestry back to Babylon. And
there is a refrain in one of Leonard Cohne's song
that says, and I belong at last to Babylon. So
he had a very old family line, which is probably

(36:36):
why they were linked up to the rothschilds this is
old bloodline, and because he had a penchant for poetry
and for songwriting and so forth, they said, hey, we
can use this, and they did. According to an article

(36:57):
I was reading on this, it says Cone used to
boast that he was a CIA reconnaissance. During the Bay
of Pigs, he was surrounded by Castro's armed forces, viewed
as one of the first members of the CIA's landing party,
interrogated and released after the soldiers hugged him. Why would
they hug him, Well, because he's an artist, he's a musician.
He's there to sing songs. Cone at one point wrote

(37:22):
that he was quote one of our most important spies.
Here was the quote, Field Commander Cone, he was one
of our most important spy. Wounded in the line of duty,
parachuting acid into diplomatic cocktail parties, urging Fidel Castro to
abandon fields and castles, leave it all, and like a man,
come back to nothing special, such as waiting rooms and
ticket lines, silver bullet suicides, a messianic ocean tides, a

(37:46):
racial roller coaster rides, and other forms of boredom advertised
as poetry. One of the other strange coincidences. If you
remember the show Miami Vice, there was a nineteen eighty
six episode where Conan showed up on the show playing
a French secret service agent who was planning to illegally

(38:07):
blow up Green peace boats. He was very much into
LSD early on, which is I think why he was
attracted to the mk Ultra programming. According to records, Cone
was a patient at the Allen Memorial Hospital in nineteen
fifty eight. Many of his mental issues' chronic depression could

(38:29):
have been a result of programming he went through as
a young man at the Allen Memorial. In two thousand
and five, Cone's personal manager, Kelly Lynch, was accused of
skimming millions from the singer's retirement fund. Her side of
the story includes disturbing behind the scenes dealings that suggest
she may have been set up to take the blame
for Cone's tax situation. She believes she was set up

(38:50):
by Cone because armed men appeared on her lawn. Swat
team member searched her house, She was handcuffed and taken
into a squad car to a faraway medical center. She
was administered antipsychotic drugs without authorization. She said it felt
like being kidnapped, of course because she was, and of
course she claims this was all coordinated by Leonard Cohne,

(39:12):
with the help of the LA District Attorney and of
course higher forces. So I was reading an article about
all of this, and it's a lot of the things
that we talked about, But the conclusion I thought was
well put. They say, this narrative might be very hard
to swallow for most people, especially those conditioned by mainstream
media to view Leonard Cohne's persona in a conventional light.

(39:34):
But consider a few things. We're going to go through
these during the sixties, around the time Leonard Cohne came
on the scene, during the era of the hippie movement.
People might want to reckon with the idea that the
music in the counterculture scene of the nineteen sixties was
not organic. It was not grassroots resistance movement as it's
generally been perceived to be, but rather a movement that

(39:57):
was essentially manufactured and directed. And there there are a
lot of claims about that, especially coming out of the
California scene. A lot of the acid tests, a lot
of people that were involved in that were supposedly and
apparently and I think there's good evidence were directed by

(40:18):
Tavistock Institute and the CIA. Supposedly, this movement is all
about peace and love, but behind the curtain, very dark
and violent and purposefully established to co opt and neutralize
an already thriving anti war movement. There were already several
movements attempting to bring about change to society. All of
that was turned aside and assimilated by the Hippies and

(40:39):
the Flower Children. There were a lot of military connections
with a lot of the performers back in the day,
and I've talked about that, Jim Morrison, Frank Zappa, John Phillips,
the Mamas and the Papas, David Crosby, Jimmy Hendrix, Joni Mitchell,
Elvis Presley's manager, all of them. And of course they
ask in here are all these military connections coincident? They say,

(41:02):
there's a huge gulf between what the public thinks is
real and what reality actually is. Conscious mainstream reality is
a fairy tale movie. It's a great, big lie. We
live in an age of mind control, and performers like
Leonard Cohane are servicemen in the world theater of operations.
They are victims too that is true quote. When I

(41:22):
hear Anne Diamond's experiences of Cone, or read about Kelly
Lynch's side of the story, and place Cohne's public persona
in the context of those testimonies, what I start to see,
or I imagine I see, is less the charming rancanteur
or droll connoisseur of love and life, and more the
clever dissembler, manipulator of information and manager of perception. The

(41:44):
saintly sage Cone, who so many admire, revere and even worship,
is in my view, a counterfeit of the real thing.
Granted he's a very good counterfeit. The mk Ultra team
didn't mess around, and it goes on to say, yeah,
Cone was not what we thought he was, and then
they end with a quote from a Cone song quote,

(42:05):
the devil won't let me speak, will only let me
hint that you are a slave. Your misery a deliberate
policy of those in whose thrall you suffer, and who
are sustained by your misfortune. You have been conquered by
those who know how to conquer invisibly, as you can see,

(42:25):
That's why I wanted to go down that rabbit hole.
Leonard Cone There is a lot of deeper stuff there,
but you get to gist because the overall theme of
what I want to talk about today is we know
this is going on. If you see it, you see it.
Once it becomes exposed to you, everything makes much more sense.
And it's not just the New World Order. It's not

(42:47):
just Satanism or pushing in one direction toppling governments and
so forth. Everybody is used. A lot of people say, oh,
you're a MAGA and your right wing Republican. No, I
recognize it in the Republican Party and in the Conservatives
as well. Why do you think they put Kid Rock

(43:11):
And why do you think they put Hulk Hogan? And
why do you think they put all these celebrities on
one side or the other Because they know they're influential
and they know people have an emotional connection to them.
That's why I think this is so important that we
understand this, because once you understand it, you can then

(43:32):
step back and enjoy the art for the art, but
not be influenced by an outside force using the artist.
We saw that with the modern art movement, which we discussed,
all these artists who were by a third degree separation

(43:54):
being pushed, funded and set up by the CIA, azz
musicians and now today it's pop stars, rock stars, actors
And so you said, well, big, the who do we
know to trust? How do we know what to believe?
And honestly, the truth is, you don't believe any of them.

(44:19):
An actor is an actor. They're playing a role and
they're very good at it. I do believe some of
them are under extreme mind control. I do believe a
lot of them are being instructed by the CIA or
some other force. Not all of them, of course, but

(44:39):
we all see this. A musician or a band comes
out of nowhere and they're an overnight success, and all
of a sudden, they are on every TV show, they're
on tour, and you're being told they're great. They didn't
get set up to where they toured around, they played
you know, here, there, everywhere they gathered an audience. No,

(45:02):
you're being told that they are great. In fact, that's
one of the reasons I left commercial radio. I was
being told to say to my audience, who I had
a trust relationship with, I'll never forget coming in and
being told this is the latest hit by such and

(45:24):
such an artist, and we are introducing it today, I said, well,
if nobody's ever heard it, how is it a hit?
How can this be a hit when we're this is
the first time we're playing it. Just say it. That's
what we're supposed to do. You're gonna do it. And
I refused, I'm not doing that. So I walked away

(45:45):
from that and did my own thing. And so when
you hear celebrities being interviewed, when you see talk shows,
when you hear supposed pundits who are actors or musicians,
and they are all of a sudden seen as experts
on world affairs and politics and religion and all these

(46:07):
things that get to the heart of your belief system,
what you know to be true, or what you're working
out on your own. Remember, their actors, their performers, and
they are counting on the fact that you have an
emotional connection with them through either a TV series or
a movie, or a character they played, or a song

(46:28):
they wrote. And usually most of these artists these days,
they don't write those songs. Very few artists these days
who are at the top of being pushed in this direction,
they don't write their own songs. They are given a
song by the label or by the handlers or the controllers,

(46:50):
and then told how to do it, told what kind
of video is going to be produced for it. Their
input is little to none. They're just using their voice,
they're using their persona, they're using their appeal, and they
are pushing them onto a certain audience. I mean, we

(47:12):
see this with Taylor Swift and all the Swifties. You
see this with any rising star. You also see this
with the bait and switch. I can go to Little
nas X, who came out with the cute old Country
Road and it was sort of a crossover with Billy
ray Cyrus. And there's multiple videos of elementary schools where

(47:36):
he would go and they would perform this and then
they all do the dance. And what happened after that?
He went straight into I call it corruption, but where
it was not little kid appropriate in any way, shape
or form. And then people will make excuses he's just
being creative, he's just being artistic. We see this with

(48:01):
books you read, who are being pushed. Hey, this guy
is great. It's a bestseller. Nobody knows who's buying that book,
nobody knows anything about this person, but we're all supposed
to believe it's a great book, so everybody rushes out
like Lemmings and buys the book. This is the greatest
movie you've never seen. Everybody has to see it. It's

(48:22):
the worldwide box office smash, and you go see it
and it's like, I don't get it. That's all manipulation.
And then they send them all around on speaking tours
and interviews, and then they start interjecting the program. What
I want you to take from this not to be

(48:44):
afraid of or to back away from enjoying any kind
of entertainment, obviously, but to be aware of how it's
being used to influence you. You need a sharp mind.
You need to know who you are, what your morals are,
what your boundaries are, what your position is. You need

(49:07):
to be rock solid in that, be solid in the
truth so that you can enjoy said song, or you
can go to a concert, or you can watch a movie.
And when that stuff comes through, it is amazing. How
when you see it and then you experience it, you
just go, yep, there it is. I see it right there.

(49:29):
But it doesn't influence you. It's not going to sway you.
And you can see the agenda at hand. It's right
there in front of your face. So yes, the CIA,
our government, and I believe even at a higher level

(49:55):
on many many fronts. Hires sipulates, brainwashes, controls are entertainers. Again,
not all of them, but a lot of the ones
that are being pushed. I challenge you to go down
this rabbit hole, look at it for yourself, and then

(50:18):
take another look at the entertainment industry. Musicians, actors, authors,
people who are being pushed. Listen to what they say,
Listen to the agenda that's put forward. And you'll also
notice this depending on what the flavor of the day is,
whatever the hot issue is. So whether it was Palestine Israel,

(50:39):
or whether it was Russia Ukraine, or whatever it is
that they are trying to sway you into a certain mindset.
Those people get pushed up the ladder and into your face,
and they will tell you how great they are. Oh
you remember, I'm just gonna make this up. You remember

(50:59):
Bono's YouTube, They're amazing. Well, Bono has something to say
about Ukraine. You remember Taylor Swift. Everybody loves Taylor Swift. Well,
Taylor Swift has something to say about the election. Who cares?
That should be your response, who cares? She's not a politician.

(51:21):
I don't think they're particularly smart, and so what she
has an opinion. But a lot of people are under
that spell, and I'm hoping you're not one of them,
or at least this will break the spell and break
you out of that pattern. Because the more you look
into this, and I'm just giving you, like the first

(51:42):
page of this book, go back and look into Operation Mockingbird, Bluebird,
the CIA's involvement in the news industry, the newspaper industry
writing articles demanding this our article, that article be written
only giving certain stories to newspapers are access or whatever

(52:05):
based on them doing what the CIA says, being involved
in the movie and the TV industry telling them what
to put on their programming, having liaisons and agents on
the sets. It happened, and it is currently happening, and

(52:25):
if you are aware of it again, you will see it.
So I hope that either open up some eyes to
those who have never heard this or those of you
who were suspicious about this. It's real. It's there, you
are right, so go deeper into it, understand what it is,
and do not allow it to sway you into something

(52:49):
that you would normally not even consider or allow you
to reconsider your position that you know to be true.
You should all be open to change. Obviously if an
argument or if a position is proven to be true
and it's stronger than what you have, and you can, okay,

(53:11):
I can buy into that because I see what they're
saying is true. But what they're doing is they're trying
to play on your emotional susceptibility and to influence you
to do something that you would otherwise know is not
in your character. It's not true to yourself, and it's

(53:32):
not even true or factual, and knowing you would not
agree with this, or it's just they're counting on everybody
being lazy.

Speaker 1 (53:42):
Ma'am.

Speaker 4 (53:43):
Taylor Swift said it, so that must be and I
like her, and so I'm going to go that way.
It's been going on for a long time. I don't
think it's going to slow down, and so be aware
of it.

Speaker 1 (53:54):
All right.

Speaker 4 (53:54):
I want to thank my friend's over there at Friends
Radio Network. They have a very cool app. We've talked
