Friend of the show and fellow radio host Pearse Redmond joins Chuck to tell the story of his involvement and exit from Boiling Frogs Post and NewsBud. How Chuck and Pearse were first introduced was a few years ago when Pearse accompanied author and alternative media figure Sibel Edmonds to The Ochelli Effect during a promotional campaign to raise mony for the now established Newsbud organization. Pearse tells his side of the story about how , when and why he became disenchanted with the organization and it’s head Sibel Edmonds. In a rare two hour discussion on Tuesday Ochelli Effect (Mike Swanson is normally on the first hour) Pearse goes through not only this story but unpacks Niger and the many silent ops and African branch of the alleged “War On Terror”. We even get to examine the latest installment of , “WTF TRUMP” with audio from a current impeach 45 commercial that has suddenly emerged in the MSM and social media universe. Pearse is now a regular contributor to the show but has been a long standing friend and is heard LIVE on American Freedom Radio Tuesdays.
Today I am joined by the founder of Inner City Press, Matthew Russell Lee, to discuss his investigative work inside the United Nations. Matthew and I begin by discussing his recent expulsion from the UN after his persistent work on the John Ashe UN corruption scandal. Matthew explains how Chinese billionaire Ng Lap Seng, in conjunction with former UN ambassador Frank Lorenzo, was involved in one of the largest ongoing corruption scandals at the UN. We also discuss the symbiotic relationship between corruption, media censorship and UN atrocities around the world. We talk about the head of UN peacekeeping, Herve Ladsous, and his role in maintaining France’s colonial control of Africa. Later, we discuss the crisis in Yemen and the way this is being covered up by both the UN and the media. Matthew and I also touch on some of the more bizarre stories coming out of the UN, including the one about 40 pounds of pure cocaine in the mail room. We finish off by looking at the legacy of Ban Ki-Moon’s UN, and explore the possibility of his running for president in South Korea.
This week’s episode was a long time in the making, but it is one that I am especially proud of. I had on Tom Secker and Jon Ryman to discuss Jon’s superb film White Widow- The Samantha Lewthwaite Conspiracy. I would encourage everyone to go and watch the film first, as there is so much detail that Jon goes into. The three of us discuss the origins of Samatha Lewthwaite; from her birth in Northern Ireland during the troubles, to her “conversion” to Islam and subsequent betrothal to 7/7 bomber Germain Lindsay, and later to her supposed place of importance with in Al Shabab in Somalia. We explore the notion that Lewthawaite may not have ever been in Kenya, one of her alleged bases of operations, and instead may be part of a much larger and complex intelligence operations. We also discuss the Westgate shopping mall attack and how Lewthawaite was erroneously connected to it, as well as the geopolitical implications of the recent uptick in violence in Kenya and the African continent in general. We round of the conversation with a look at how the War on Terror has blurred fiction and reality. This is another long podcast that deals with a subject that is little understood and deserves more attention.
The lifting of the 21 year old arms embargo has been floated to the UN Security Council. Colonial master of Somalia, the United States of America, is behind this move to arm the fledgling and ultra corrupt government of Mogadishu. I say Mogadishu because that is all that the Somali “government” truly controls. There are many in both the security council and in Somalia that are terrified of the possibility of the embargo ending. Somalia is still a deeply destabilized state. Many don’t see how arming the Somali security forces will lead to anything other than more violence. Somalis should be especially weary that the U.S. is behind this push for arms to Somalia. America has been meddling in Somali politics for decades now, and no doubt this is their latest move to control the nation. Just think about who will most likely be supplying the Somali security forces with arms? I wonder it it will be our massive military industrial complex. As I have said before this is all America has to offer to Africa. Unlike China that builds infrastructure or simply invests in Africa, America only provides military hardware to military strong men. The perverse fact that the American government and the merchants of death seek to benefit from the bloodshed in Somalia is all the more troubling. One last final thing to keep in mind also comes from the Reuters article. The security councils Monitoring Group of Somalia and Eritrea has reported that there are already al Shabaab militants that have infiltrated units of the security forces in Somalia. So with the lifting of the arms embargo America can do what it does best; give arms to a group that is hostile to them. It’s worked out splendidly in Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, Central Asia, so why not do it in Somalia. I mean whats the worst that could happen?
