In reference to the Dissident Views (in Defence of "Conspiracy Theories") a lecture by Michael Parenti is relevant to wealthy people being likely to collaborate. (I'll look for this if you are interested.)
For Appendix 3, seeing as Operation Gladio and PBSUCCESS are referred to, might it not also be an idea to refer to the Syrian interventions' operation name as Timber Sycamore in the notes column?
Also relevant to include in that table, reference to the recent US backed Saudi invasion of Yemen, and US backed overthrow attempt of the Ethiopian government.
There is also the likelihood that the US intervened in Venezuela in an attempt to oust Maduro. Also may be some flimsy evidence regarding ousting of Imran khan in Pakistan and staging of the colour revolution in Kazakhstan.
Could be current US interference in Iran and Peru.
The presentation of dates looks like Trump's time was clean, but Trump's missile attack on Syrian airbase was 2017 at Shayrat, and the assassination by drone strike of Iranian General Soleimani.
Important that people understand that many recent and current events have US hallmarks and such interference is not just historical.
Excellent contribution: thanks very much Cairn ...
I shall look up Parenti. I've come across the name, but not for years. If you have a link for the one you refer to I'd be grateful.
Thanks for the Timber Sycamore suggestion. (I've just had a conversation with someone reacting to a film about a bomb dropping in Syria who assumed it was Russia dropping it).
I'm afraid I dashed this one off, with hardly any editing to bring it up to date, as I wanted something to refer to in answering a comment (probably on YouTube) and while working on a different article. But I shall do some editing as you suggest.
Wow and thank you. Your article is one of the most important and invaluable "knowledge gifts" I've ever received. You've obviously done your homework...and then some. Thank you for compiling and sharing. I'm new to your Stack and am wholly impressed.
Actually, back then, when the YouTube algorithm pushed what people thought most interesting (read "revealing") to the top, it was quite easy and exciting. I'm fortunate that I had the time due to retiring in my mid 50s.
If you want to be systematic about understanding the world, I recommend Richard Andrew Grove's old podcast Peace Revolution. They are a very nice format.
This is well typed especially the first few paragraphs.
Give me some time, I'll read through it and give you any feedback if I think it is helpful, but I think you do yourself a service and show the value of folks with wisdom long-learned in life.
There was a lot of material in this article and I hope somebody comes by to answer your question about hyperlinks posting and such, but I've come to learn that sometimes when something doesn't work, that in and of itself is information to help diminish uncertainty.
I'm gonna study this and I will give you my honest opinion, but I remember the post you made about tying knots proper and tight, and I appreciated that even if I haven't practiced yet.
I believe some riddles are being solved, and it no longer is a matter of getting to the truth at hand, it is a matter of will.

I've just been reading old nz newspapers with the search terms 'Hitler' and 'banks' limited to 1930-1933 (yes to try and catch sight of that letter that I saw a few years ago).
This is how his financing came about, for the context you need to realize that central banks with monopolies on printing money had been pushed on world in previous 20 years or so but in 1931 there wern't too many around, England, United States & South Africa being the exceptions. There was also a push around this time by the Rothschilds to centralize all banks in one place that was successfully resisted by the Bank of International settlements (this happened in Montreal)
1930 Hitler despite being at low support levels was getting a bit of press.
1931 14th and 15th July the banks are shut for two days leading to a bit of a run on them by the sounds of it (housewives & businessman desperately trying to get cash) although that's not really reported as a run.
On the 15th July there are reports that the Bank of International settlements (not Rothschilds) is going to join with the Bank of England & the Federal Reserve (are Rothschilds) to help bail out the German banks (in other words the squeeze had been put on them). Who were the Germans formerly sided with I wonder.
This comes to fruition over the next few days at the same time that France, who had the second largest reserves of gold after the US, sees a lot of its gold leave the confines of its control (hmmmm).
Almost immediately the headlines change to pro Hitler headlines such as "Hitler's hour of destiny" and the like.
Straight after his ascension to Chancellor the banks start funding his government big time supposedly in this agreement to bail out the German banks. Might even have been enough to have contributed to recessions elsewhere as capital was favourited to Germany.
Make of that what you will but it seems obvious to me that Hitler had support not just from industrialists and the Bush family in NY but also the support of the largest bankers on the planet.
Commendable research! Well done. I'd be very interested to know of links you are aware of to newspapers that one can search.
Yes, that is the impression I had - financial support from central banks. I knew about the various American sources and the Bank of England ... (and there's something else that nearly comes to mind ...
Excellent "Wake Up Ammo" - thank you. I will be sharing it with a lot of folks. If you're interested in suggestions for other news sites to add to the "What Else" section, I've found Global Research useful. They have a weekly "hits" list that is a nice round up for what's been going on in the world. The most current one (as of 2/8/23) is https://www.globalresearch.ca/this-weeks-most-popular-articles-87 I try to PDF each one and save it - comes in handy to take a look back at the recent past and try to spot trends or patterns that might not have been evident at the time a news story was fresh...
Excellent suggestion, thank you. I'll add it to the list. I don't know if it existed when I wrote this about a decade ago. There are probably other aspects that I should bring up to date. E.g. I should probably point out my reservations over Sibel Edmonds and Chomsky.

Wow, this is a decade old? Lots of stuff missing then, but it stands firm on its own and is still an excellent foundation for making people understand that "this current global craziness" isn't a new thing at all, and that "they" have been steadily & malevolently engineering events all along to bring us to this point...... I agree that seeing the turns Chomsky & Edmonds have taken has been a real disappointment in recent years.... Still, better they show their stripes for all to see...
Even "alternative" news sources can't necessarily be trusted these days, what with all the controlled opposition out there, but at this time I still think James Corbett & Whitney Webb are pretty darn solid. It can be a moving target from one year to the next though - you just have to keep triangulating all your news sources, and adding in new ones so your frame of reference doesn't get stale. Substack has been a real blessing on that front! After a while, you can start to get a feel for when certain ones are shading their speech or pulling their punches. Often times it's only on certain specific topics that their reporting gets hinky, compared to others (or is absent). That's sometimes a clue of who' might be paying them in the background :)
There's that infamous old quote by former CIA Director William Casey: "We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.". Well, it sounds like something the CIA would proudly say, but I did a little research on Metabunk just to see if it was real. And what do you know - the general consensus is that it probably wasn't delivered at a Regan cabinet meeting; as it is generally described. But the over-arching CIA position is still very likely a true one - in the greater context of history... Metabunk is another great site for helping w/ the "triangulation of what's true & what's not", but I wouldn't depend on it completely (or any other single source). They often seem to be overly allergic to "conspiracy theories"... As you can probably tell, I'm not. LOL - I wear my tin foil hat on a daily basis :)
i find youtube links work best if you right click on the video as it plays then use the link from there
i would like to cross-post this article with my audience if thats ok? it'll be a good way for me to quickly find it again, i think this may take a while to go though. thanks!

I just listened to it again, quite amusing.
Yes! He warms up and his sense of humour starts to show well. Good stuff.

I love Richard Grove! Seems like we're on a similar, info-gathering path, Jonathan. Keep writing. It's good medicine to read your words!
Remember to subscribe then! (You've only got about 30 subscriptions)!

Kind of you! It may take a week or two to go through all the links to documentaries and books though!

Yeah ... there's plenty to get your teeth into!
Knots - heh, heh.
Riddles - agree - solutions abound; it's getting people to take an interest that is difficult.
You got me on that one...
I'm tied into a knot....

It would be nice to start a collection of sources that people trust.
