Episode 83: G.I. Joe: Retaliation - Who really runs the world?

I recorded "Episode 75: Transhumanism, Thought Monitoring, & Manchurian Candidates in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" discussing the first G.I. Joe film and in this episode, I'll review the sequel, G.I. Joe: Retaliation and how it shows us who really runs the world.

➡️ Are regeneration cradles real?

➡️ Are "rods from God" real? Could something like Project Zeus happen? Is this technology already in place?

➡️ Zartan as a dummy President seems like more than just a metaphor . . .

Welcome to con-sara-cy theories. Are you ready to ask questions you shouldn't and find information you're not supposed to know? Well, you're in the right place. Here is your host, Sara Causey.

Hello, hello, and thanks for tuning in. In tonight's episode, I want to ask the question, who really runs the world, and I want to do it amidst the backdrop of GI Joe Retaliation. In a previous episode, I talked about GI Joe, The Rise of Cobra. I will drop a link to that episode in case you missed it. In this case, as in the last case, spoilers abound. There's no way for me to talk about the movie and to really ask this question and probe this question without getting into spoilers. The film came out in 2013 so I mean, you've had more than 10 years to watch it if you were planning to. But nevertheless, if you have not seen it, and you want to see it without me spoiling anything, which I hope you will please note spoilers lie ahead. So before we get into this heavy question, pour yourself up a frosty beverage of choice, and we will settle up and take this ride. The film opens at the DMZ in North Korea. Of course, the Joes have impressive weapons, including gloves that can melt a chain link fence. In the update, we're told that there had been a nanomite war. We also learned that Cobra Commander and Destro are detained in a maximum security prison somewhere in Germany, given their Nazi esque human experimentation, what could possibly go wrong Storm Shadow and Sara tan remain at large? Of course, we know that Cobra has changed Sara tans appearance and that he replaced the real US President. A news announcement pops up that the President of Pakistan was killed at a pentagon meeting Pakistan is called a riot with a zip code. The Joint Chiefs want to swoop in and take Pakistan's nuclear weapons. Sara tan, aka the fake US president, orders the Joes to go in, they succeed in their mission and report the good results to the President. Sara tan has the real US president hidden away in a basement. He tells him that he plans to liquidate the Joes. He has stuffed the Secret Service with Cobra Commander loyalists, and he says they want to set fire to the Constitution. This doesn't seem unbelievable when you read the things that Abraham Bolden wrote. Now I'll get there, but just for the time being, if you're thinking this sounds rather implausible, and it's the territory only of a Hollywood movie. Not so fast. Sara tan wants to know where Cobra and Destro are being held. Meanwhile, the extraction from Pakistan is an ambush, and almost all of the Joes are killed. The three who survive only do so because they hid inside of a well. Sara tan tells the press that the Joes abandoned their duty and betrayed the country. He blames the murder of the Pakistani President on Snake Eyes, who's one of the Joes, and says the Joes want to hijack the nuclear weapons for themselves. He calls on other world leaders to attend a summit on unilateral nuclear disarmament. He tells the public that a special team code named Cobra has terminated the Joes. The three surviving Joes are unsure of who coordinated the attack. We now see a subterranean prison. Snake Eyes has been arrested and is taken deep into the bowels of this prison. The warden says it's a former East German mine shaft, and was the deepest they ever dug. The warden says that during REM sleep, the muscles are paralyzed, except for the heart and the eyes. Cobra and Destro have been injected with a synthetic version of this chemical, and they are effectively trapped inside of themselves. When the helmet is removed, the man inside is not Snake Eyes, but is Storm Shadow. In the desert. The surviving Joes figure out that they were killed in a setup. They quickly finger the president. Storm Shadow allows himself to be trapped at the prison. A man on a motorcycle rides up to the prison and releases a batch of weaponized bugs. The Joes find an air strip and plan their escape. Storm Shadow puts himself into a death mode, appearing to have no pulse. It's a trap which allows him to fight off the prison staff. The weaponized bugs detonate and cause havoc outside Storm Shadow rescues Cobra Commander, but Cobra no longer wants Destro. In fact, he says, You're out of the band. That was like, Oh, I thought he was an interesting character. When I went to the theater to see this movie, whenever it came out, I was like, Oh, damn, the other part of the rescue. Team is Firefly, aptly named in the escape from the prison Storm Shadow is badly burned. Cobra says he must go to the mountains to heal. He'll be needed for the real war that Cobra is about to start. Meanwhile, the true Saray guys is watching them. Cobra is taken to a plant called the Zeus industrial complex. Cobra is building some type of weapon of mass destruction, though it's not clear exactly what it is, yet. Sara tan shows up, and Cobra reminds him not to forget who put him in the White House, in my personal notes, in all caps I've written that says it all. Storm Shadow is healed through a combination of eastern and western medicine. He is placed in a device similar to the regeneration cradle that we saw in Avengers Age of Ultron. So are we being told something here? Does such technology, like a regeneration cradle, like printing of skin? Does that already exist? The Joes may get back to the US and hole up in an old, unused rec center. They wish to understand what has happened to the US president by watching clips of him over time. One of them uncovers changes in his mannerisms and speaking habits. They ask, What if this is a different man? What if there is an imposter in place. They abduct the Chief of Staff, using a scantily clad Lady J as bait, which, to me, harkens to the idea of honey trap scandals. The Joes use him so they can get close to the imposter president. Lady J gets into a black tie dinner where the President is speaking. He announces a nuclear summit that will take place at Fort Sumter. She is able to get a strand of his hair so they can DNA test it. Of course, it's a match to Sara tan. Meanwhile, the Cobra infiltrated Secret Service figures out who she is and tries to grab her. The other Joes are sidelined by Firefly and his weaponized bugs. Cobra himself shows up in the basement where the President is held. They want to use his retinal scan to activate the US nuclear arsenal. The Joes know something is fishy about the nuclear summit, but they aren't sure what the end game is. The Summit involves the so called atomic eight. The mainstream media reports that the world might be closer than ever to nuclear disarmament. Sara tan demands that all nations destroy their nuclear arsenals, or the US will take it as a declaration of war. Zartan launches nuclear weapons in a game of chicken. This is reminiscent of films we've talked about before, like Dr Strangelove and fail safe, the other nations launch counter strikes under duress. The gag is that Sara tan now disables all of his warheads and challenges everyone else to disarm as soon as he announces the world is nuclear free, he presents project Zeus. Zeus is a series of tungsten rods implanted in satellites. One is dropped on London as a demonstration. Sara tan explains that it has more destructive capabilities than a nuclear warhead, but with no nuclear fallout, London is completely destroyed, and the other nations ask Cobra Commander what he wants, naturally, he replies, I want it all at the White House, American flags are removed to make way for COBRA flags. Cobra demands total allegiance, or he will drop more weapons around the world. Now we get a Hollywood ending where the Joes save the day and prevent Cobra Commander from murdering most of the planet. The real president is rescued from captivity. Storm Shadow kills Sara tan. Firefly is also killed. Cobra escapes. So they leave open the possibility of another film. The real President restores order and restores the GI Joe program. So again, we're left with the possibility of more films for the future. In my review of GI Joe, The Rise of Cobra, I talked about how the plan that Cobra and Destro had was that they would be in the shadows Sara tan as this decoy, fake US president doing their bidding. He would be their sock puppet, and he would be the person in front of the public, the public would feel like he was the one in control. He was the one to make all the problems go away, but in reality, he would just be doing the bidding of Cobra and Destro. Yet the public wouldn't know that they were the ones pulling the strings. I'm thinking also of that episode three about Operation Gladio, which was called the foot soldiers, and how at the very end of it, that creepy dude who called himself The Godfather, played with that wind up puppet, and was like, This is what they were. They were puppets, something that was life. US, but it's given life by us. It was just very creepy, off putting skin crawling kind of stuff. But is this the way the world works? Now? Spoiler alert, you already know how I feel, absolutely, absolutely. That's how the world works. We don't really know who the power brokers are, if you think in this red versus blue, donkey versus elephant dichotomy, I mean, God help you, seriously, because during the senile old man years, we had people going, well, this is bidenomics. This is Biden inflation. And I'm sitting there like this guy talks about how his butts been wiped. Okay? He can't string together a coherent sentence. He said his uncle was eaten by cannibals. He'd talk about somebody named corn pop and people pulling on his leg hair. It doesn't even make any fucking sense. This guy is not going out doing much of anything. I don't think he knows who he is. So it's not like he's engineering anything. I mean, just it seems so clear to me, this guy is completely a sock puppet, and they're basically mocking our intelligence at this point, if you really thought that he was running anything, I mean, wow, I'd love to sell you some ocean front property here in the landlocked Midwest, if that's what you think. So to me, absolutely, it's the way the world works. You have the real power brokers, the real puppet masters that are in the dark. You're not going to know who they are. You don't choose them. You don't elect them. They don't come out of the shadows, not really. They pull the strings behind the scenes, and they'll have some sock puppet in the public, the Prime Ministers and the presidents and the leaders and all of that that do their bidding. So we have Cobra and Destro putting Sara tan in as this fake US president, and naturally, this situation where the leader of Pakistan has been killed. Their nukes are up for grabs. The Joes are sent in, but it's an ambush. All of that has been set up for the purpose of this greater plan to liquidate the Joes and get them out of the way because they would be opposition, and then also to trigger this false flag event so that all the nations will come together at a summit, all of the nuclear powered nations will come together at a summit, and then ultimately, Sara tan, through the auspices of Cobra, will provide an opportunity for nuclear disarmament. On the face of it, that sounds like a great idea, but of course, we know they're up to no good. Early on, I said, you know, if it seems outlandish, this idea that the Secret Service has been stuffed with Cobra Commander loyalists and they want to set fire to the Constitution I mentioned, you have to remember what Abraham Bolden wrote back in 2023 I think maybe it was like March of No, it was March of 2024 excuse me, one year bleeds into the other around here. March of 2024 I published the blog post on the conspiracy theories. The biggest myth in this I write the aforementioned Abraham Bolden was interviewed by Brent Holland, and this is chronicled in his book The JFK pop pop from the Oval Office to Dealey Plaza, Bolden speaks of rampant racism in the Secret Service, including some who called JFK an N word lover, and who also freely use the N word in general. He also alleges that some of the agents said if someone took a shot at Kennedy, they wouldn't intervene. Abraham Bolden was the first person of color to be appointed to the presidential detail in the Secret Service. And this was done by John F Kennedy. So to me, if you're watching this movie and you're like, oh, that just seems unbelievable. The service is always supposed to protect the president. They're always supposed to be right on top of it. They would never say they wanted to set fire to the Constitution. Oh, right. I mean, if you say so. I also wondered about the scene where Storm Shadow is, quote, taken to the mountains to heal, and he gets in this thing that looks like the regeneration cradle that we see in Avengers Age of Ultron. And I'm like, you know, we see this exact theme in several movies, and it's making me wonder, is this real? Was this predictive programming? Was it a way of letting the public know, hey, this is on its way. We already have the technology, and we're just floating it past you in movies and on television, so that when it shows up in the peons world, they're accustomed to it. Well, we can go to an article on Penn State's website 3d printed skin closes wounds and contains hair follicle precursors. Bio engineered advancement may have implications for more natural looking reconstructive surgery outcomes. According to international research team, the. Or you can also go to an article from Columbia University bio engineered skin grafts that fit like a glove. This is from January 31 2023 you can go to the University of Cincinnati to read about stem cells in regenerative medicine. So are we that far away from having something like a regeneration cradle, like what we see in Avengers, Age of Ultron, like what we see in GI Joe Retaliation. I would posit the theory that such a thing already exists. Remember, I've told you before DARPA had the internet, before John and j and q public ever even knew such a thing existed. I feel confident that some agency has this technology already now, how long will it be before John and j and q public have access to it? That I don't know, but I'd be willing to bet that it exists somewhere. Whenever Sara tan rendezvous with Cobra at this Zeus industrial complex, he reminds him not to forget who put him in the White House, as I wrote in my notes, that says it all. That says it all, after the nuclear disarmament, not for the good of humanity, but so all of these other nations are left vulnerable to cobras Zeus program, we learn exactly what it is that he's been doing a series of tungsten rods implanted in satellites. One of them is dropped on London as a demonstration. It just absolutely obliterates the entire city. He says something, Sara Tan says something like it has more force than eight times of a speeding bullet, but you get all of the, all of the destruction, with none of the fallout. So I know, right? Well, this is science fiction, Sara, this is, this is way off in the realm of never going to be possible. I mean, is it? Is it? When we go to the South China Morning Post, we learn about China's hypersonic tungsten rod experiment, and I will drop a link. Please read this article. Check it out for yourself. I'm not making this up. The full headline is China's hypersonic tungsten rod experiment challenges the US rods from God space weapon concept.

 In the byline we read, a scientific experiment has suggested a kinetic energy space weapon may not work as an effective bunker buster, as previously thought. The idea for a rods from God hypersonic weapon was first conceived by the US military. Wait for it. Wait for it during the Cold War. Ah, of course, condition. Who can really be surprised by that? Of course, it was a hypersonic space weapon concept nicknamed rods from God, which was first dreamed up during the Cold War, might not be as effective as previously thought, according to a new study. Oh, oh, I'm sure so. We have Chinese media telling us that rods from God would really not be that destructive. Wink on military.com we find these Air Force rods from God could hit with the force of a nuclear weapon. The 107 country Outer Space Treaty signed in 1967 prohibits nuclear, biological or chemical weapons. Hold on, a pop up just came up or chemical weapons from being placed or used from Earth's orbit. What they didn't count on was the US Air Force's most simple weapon ever, a tungsten rod that could hit a city with the explosive power of an intercontinental ballistic missile. During the Vietnam War, the US used what they called lazy dog bombs. These were simply solid steel pieces less than two inches long, fitted with fins. There was no explosive they were simply dropped by the hundreds from planes flying above Vietnam. Lazy dog projectiles, aka kinetic bombardment, could reach speeds of up to 500 miles per hour as they fell to the ground, and can penetrate nine inches of concrete after being dropped from as little as 3000 feet. The idea is like shooting bullets at a target, except instead of losing velocity as it travels, the projectile is gaining velocity and energy that will be expended on impact. They were shotgunning a large swath of jungle raining bullet sized death at high speeds. That's how project Thor came to be. Instead of hundreds of small projectiles from a few 1000 feet, Thor used a large projectile from a few 1000 miles above the Earth. The rods from God idea was a bundle of telephone pole sized tungsten rods dropped from orbit reaching a speed of up to 10 times the speed of sound, the rod itself would penetrate hundreds of feet into the earth, destroying any potential hardened bunkers or secret underground sites. More than that, when the rod hits, the explosion would be on par with the magnitude of a ground penetrating nuclear weapon, but with no fallout, it would take 15. Minutes to destroy a target with such a weapon. One quarry user who works in the defense aerospace industry quoted a cost of no less than $10,000 per pound to fire anything into space with 20 cubic feet of dense tungsten weighing in at over 24,000 pounds. The math is easy. Just one of the rods would be prohibitively expensive. The cost of $230 million per Rod was unimaginable during the Cold War. These days, not so much. The Bush administration even considered revisiting the idea to hit underground nuclear sites in rogue nations in the years following 911, interestingly enough, the cost of a single minute man three intercontinental ballistic missile was 7 million in 1962 when it was first introduced. 57 million adjusted for inflation. Inflation, we can assume it would be even more now. The trouble with a nuclear payload is that it isn't designed to penetrate deep into the surface, and the fallout from a nuclear device can be devastating to surrounding potentially friendly areas. A core takeaway from the concept of weapons like Project Thor's is that hypersonic weapons pack a significant punch and might be the future of global warfare. End quote, wow. So you have the Chinese media saying, Hey, we looked into it. It it wouldn't really be all that destructive. It probably wouldn't pay off. Then you have military.com saying, Well, I mean, at the time of the Cold War, it would have been cost prohibitive. But now money being the way that it is, and the defense budget being the way that it is. I mean, hey, these rods from God might not be so prohibitive now. So here's the question, is something like Project Zeus from this seemingly harmless entertainment movie like GI Joe Retaliation, is this predictive programming? Are they pulling the curtain back and letting you know that, actually, yes, there are these tungsten rods that are in outer space right now, because they're not going to fucking tell us when they do it. It's not like they're gonna go on TV and be like, Hey, we have already put up satellites. We had Lord Elon go up there with his satellites and put up rods from God, they're not gonna tell us that. That's the kind of thing that you would learn years later. I mean, that's like with Operation Northwoods, which I'm slapping myself. I still need to do a complete episode about that. They were willing to sacrifice whatever it took, whether it was a false flag where people didn't get killed, or a false flag where people did get killed, they didn't give a shit. They just wanted to get their hands on Cuba. They didn't care.

 So they're not going to come out on TV. It's not like Orange Man or senile old man or whoever would come on TV and be like, hey. Just want to let you guys know we've put up rods from God. We had to spend like $5 billion to do this, but we got some rods from God up there, and whenever we're ready, we can just release one that's the size of a telephone pole and obliterate someplace into next week. They're not going to do that. This is another thing that makes you go, hmm moment. So I'll come back to my original question. Who really runs the world? I think ultimately it's hyper elites and fat cats that dwell in the shadows. We don't elect them. In so many cases, we don't even know who they are. I also think in large part, the military industrial and military intelligence complexes ensure that whatever the fat cats want done gets done, whether that's atomic weapons, nuclear weapons, weapons of mass destruction, rods from God, whatever, whatever it is that the fat cats want, money is no object. Think about the missing trillions before 911, even though we're told that it's a conspiracy theory that never happened. Yeah, it did happen. Old rumps fuck was on TV talking about it the fucking day before I saw it. I remember it. It's entirely possible that these things exist right now. I don't know it, just to me, seems entirely possible. So who really runs the world? Well, you have these leaders that are actually sock puppets of the people behind the scenes that truly call the shots. Scary to think about, yes, but a lot more realistic than sitting back and going red versus blue, donkey versus elephant. If I can just get my guy in office, it's gonna all be different. Okay, how has that worked for you? So far, stay a little crazy, and I will see you in the next episode.
