- 1:54Speaker 1: So this documentary that we're talking about this week.
- 1:59Speaker 2: We're for one. I'm glad to be back to talking
- 2:03Speaker 2: about something that I believe is probably true in some ways.
- 2:09Speaker 2: That's that's fun. After we did the Kobe Bryant thing. Yeah,
- 2:13Speaker 2: me and Fizza did an episode about the Wuhan coronavirus conspiracies,
- 2:17Speaker 2: which are all pretty silly also. But now we're talking
- 2:21Speaker 2: about a documentary called Cold Case.
- 2:24Speaker 1: Homer Scold Homer, Shold Hommer Shoald Homer Homer. I feel
- 2:30Speaker 1: like every many of the people talking in this movie
- 2:33Speaker 1: are either very old or not native speakers of the
- 2:37Speaker 1: langue of Swedish. So uh, everyone has just baby like
- 2:42Speaker 1: how much?
- 2:43Speaker 2: Yeah? Well, it covers a comma should it covers a
- 2:47Speaker 2: thing that happened in nineteen sixty one, so the people
- 2:50Speaker 2: involved are going to be We're lucky any of these
- 2:53Speaker 2: motherfuckers are alive.
- 2:54Speaker 1: They do stay in it the main fella. He says,
- 2:57Speaker 1: it is a conspiracy theory for senior citizens. Yes, how
- 3:00Speaker 1: it is described, does that get you hot conspiracy theorists,
- 3:04Speaker 1: who I love it when you appeal to the alderly.
- 3:08Speaker 2: Well, yeah, this is a wild one though in it.
- 3:12Speaker 1: This isn't your gen Z flat earthers with your fidget
- 3:16Speaker 1: spinners is for the old people. Yeah, but it is
- 3:19Speaker 1: a weird one.
- 3:20Speaker 2: It's a I fucking believe it. Like there's at least
- 3:24Speaker 2: one aspect of it that I definitely believe. I mean
- 3:28Speaker 2: I kind of believe all of it. I just don't
- 3:30Speaker 2: know how effective all of it was.
- 3:34Speaker 1: Yeah, I know what you're saying, and it is nice
- 3:36Speaker 1: in opposition the Kobe Bryant thing. People making this are
- 3:39Speaker 1: not doing it to get more Instagram followers, right, There
- 3:44Speaker 1: are people that have been they're doing it for credible reason.
- 3:46Speaker 2: Working on this theory for decades, which that always kind
- 3:53Speaker 2: of does it for me. When there's like when there's
- 3:55Speaker 2: that aspect where there's like one guy who's just like no, no, no, no,
- 4:00Speaker 2: fuck you, I'm right. Everyone else is wrong that I
- 4:04Speaker 2: don't know, Like I like that Loan juror, I like
- 4:08Speaker 2: mentality that one person who's like, this motherfucker is not
- 4:12Speaker 2: guilty and I Am not going to convict them. Like
- 4:15Speaker 2: that's that's that's an attitude I can get behind you.
- 4:18Speaker 1: You know what I like about it from the point
- 4:20Speaker 1: of view of a of a thing you do with
- 4:22Speaker 1: your free time. You know, like I, You and I
- 4:26Speaker 1: both have pursued stand up comedy. Yeah me, I pursued
- 4:29Speaker 1: standup for like ten years, and I you know, I
- 4:30Speaker 1: feel the feeling for my family is like, you know,
- 4:33Speaker 1: why are you doing this? You're getting nowhere? What are
- 4:35Speaker 1: they paying you? What are you doing for this? And
- 4:38Speaker 1: you know they're coming down on me at least like
- 4:41Speaker 1: compared to me that guy. Imagine that guy talking to people,
- 4:44Speaker 1: So what are you doing? You're investigating this? Anyone else
- 4:47Speaker 1: looking into it?
- 4:48Speaker 2: No?
- 4:48Speaker 1: Have they done anything with what you're doing?
- 4:50Speaker 2: No?
- 4:51Speaker 1: And it's like human these people must get that shit
- 4:54Speaker 1: so much more so I'm like, oh man, I'm doing
- 4:56Speaker 1: amazing compared to them. Yeah, to talk about so that's
- 4:58Speaker 1: even less rewarded. That opened my comedy, which would be
- 5:01Speaker 1: like independently investigating cold cases that no one has any
- 5:05Speaker 1: interest in.
- 5:06Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I think people have interest in this.
- 5:08Speaker 1: Emil. Yes, certainly. I mean we should seed more recent years. Yes,
- 5:12Speaker 1: the cold case.
- 5:14Speaker 2: Yeah, we should upon us, we should fill people in
- 5:16Speaker 2: at least on that part. The theory centers around the
- 5:20Speaker 2: death of a guy named dog Homer Should, who was
- 5:25Speaker 2: the Secretary General of the UN from I put it
- 5:31Speaker 2: in the note.
- 5:33Speaker 1: And he's he's at the time where the UN is
- 5:36Speaker 1: baby UN, Yeah, stilling its role in the world, on
- 5:40Speaker 1: the global stage, and what it's what kind of action
- 5:43Speaker 1: it would be able to take, et cetera.
- 5:45Speaker 2: Yeah, nineteen fifty three is when Dog Hommer Should takes
- 5:49Speaker 2: over as Secretary General of the UN and he died
- 5:54Speaker 2: in nineteen sixty one. And that's what this documentary is
- 6:00Speaker 2: based around, is the death of Dog Hommer Should and
- 6:03Speaker 2: the contention that maybe he was murdered as opposed to
- 6:09Speaker 2: having died by natural plane crash causes.
- 6:12Speaker 1: Yes, so we are beginning this. It's very sort of
- 6:16Speaker 1: vague as to who who were looking at because it
- 6:19Speaker 1: is not really apparent if there's the narrator, is he
- 6:23Speaker 1: an actor, is he an investigator? You kind of don't know.
- 6:26Speaker 1: Is he a host? Right, that's very sort of mysterious,
- 6:30Speaker 1: And then it's beautiful Sympatography's amazing. They're clearly an Africa somewhere.
- 6:35Speaker 1: Man's wearing all white.
- 6:37Speaker 2: It's a weird documentary in the way it's presented, for sure.
- 6:41Speaker 1: It's very mysterious.
- 6:43Speaker 2: Yeah, there's basically it's the filmmaker we eventually find out
- 6:49Speaker 2: who is. The first shot is him basically dictating the
- 6:55Speaker 2: scenes from this documentary to a secretary in the room
- 7:00Speaker 2: who's on an old timey typewriter.
- 7:03Speaker 1: Two two women, Yeah, two different women and two different women.
- 7:06Speaker 1: So yeah, it gets a bit even more confused than that.
- 7:09Speaker 1: But I think this is a good documentary technique. There's
- 7:11Speaker 1: a lot of many documentaries like Louis Theroux's My Scientology
- 7:14Speaker 1: film you know, where he casts actors to play David
- 7:16Speaker 1: Muscavage in the recreat scene. So I think filmmakers are
- 7:20Speaker 1: It's a very interesting take on the form of documentary.
- 7:23Speaker 1: Now people are obviously experimenting a lot more with how
- 7:26Speaker 1: to tell a narrative story or how to begin, you know,
- 7:30Speaker 1: to introduce people to an investigation of some kind.
- 7:32Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is a cool one.
- 7:34Speaker 1: It's cool shit.
- 7:35Speaker 2: Yeah, and it carries on throughout the whole movie. And
- 7:38Speaker 2: the guy he's he's not annoying, which is a pit
- 7:43Speaker 2: fall the filmmaker. Yes, is not a lot of documentary
- 7:47Speaker 2: filmmakers like for a documentary to work. If the filmmaker
- 7:53Speaker 2: is not likable, they cannot be in the documentary. And
- 7:58Speaker 2: sometimes an unlikable filmmaker or will make their way into
- 8:01Speaker 2: their own documentary and it's a fucking nightmare. But this
- 8:04Speaker 2: guy seems cool.
- 8:05Speaker 1: He's more Morgan Spurlock than Michael Moore, right right? And
- 8:11Speaker 1: what's his name? Why didn't I put these like in mags?
- 8:15Speaker 2: Mad Mads? It's Mad?
- 8:17Speaker 1: Mad's Mad? Sorry?
- 8:18Speaker 2: But what's his last name?
- 8:20Speaker 1: I'm god, I'm sorry, Like, why.
- 8:22Speaker 2: Didn't I put ship like this at the beginning?
- 8:24Speaker 1: I don't know, you're tired. It's like Mad's born Doll. No, no,
- 8:28Speaker 1: Goran Bordal. Mad's Bruger. Sorry, I am in Stone diypologist.
- 8:34Speaker 1: Mad's Bruger. Which who's the fucking dude? He's a die
- 8:37Speaker 1: Hard is the villain and Diehard So.
- 8:39Speaker 2: Think Bruger Uh Hans Scruber Gruber, I think so yeah,
- 8:45Speaker 2: something like that.
- 8:47Speaker 1: Okay, So Mad's Bruger, not the villain, Bruger not the
- 8:51Speaker 1: same as Grueber, not a vice reporter.
- 8:54Speaker 2: No, he's I looked him up. He's a Danish TV
- 8:57Speaker 2: personality trending.
- 9:00Speaker 1: He looks like a guy from Vice, but he doesn't
- 9:02Speaker 1: sound like a Vice reporter. He looks like the most
- 9:04Speaker 1: important thing.
- 9:05Speaker 2: He looks like if the two people in the Eurhythmics
- 9:10Speaker 2: formed into one person. Yeah, and like Annie Lennox's hair
- 9:14Speaker 2: went down to that dude's chin.
- 9:16Speaker 1: Instead, he looked like a mobi went to prison.
- 9:19Speaker 2: Yeah, prison mobile.
- 9:22Speaker 1: Prison mobe from Denmark.
- 9:25Speaker 2: But he seems to have a fun personality.
- 9:28Speaker 1: Good filmmaking, great voice, pretty good prisons on screen, likable
- 9:33Speaker 1: screen prison. So we give it to him. I'm already like,
- 9:35Speaker 1: all right, what's his motherfucker up to? Why does he
- 9:38Speaker 1: give a fuck about Dog Hummer should? Yeah, and it
- 9:43Speaker 1: it right away.
- 9:44Speaker 2: They get into the circumstances surrounding Dog Hommer should, And
- 9:52Speaker 2: basically what happens is he takes over as Secretary General
- 9:58Speaker 2: of the UN in nineteen fifty three. And this is
- 10:02Speaker 2: around the time when all of the old colonial powers,
- 10:06Speaker 2: like especially England, were just kind of losing control of
- 10:11Speaker 2: the their colonies.
- 10:12Speaker 1: Right, I think Kenya got liberated in forties or fifties,
- 10:17Speaker 1: Jamaica around that time.
- 10:19Speaker 2: Yeah, they were all.
- 10:21Speaker 1: Britain was losing a lot of the big that they
- 10:22Speaker 1: still had Rhodesia.
- 10:24Speaker 2: Right, yeah, I mean they still had some, but no,
- 10:28Speaker 2: definitely they it's it's around that time and he takes
- 10:32Speaker 2: over as Secretary General of the UN and immediately decides that, look,
- 10:40Speaker 2: we're going to start being good to Africa. You're not.
- 10:43Speaker 2: You're not going to go in and just fucking raid
- 10:46Speaker 2: Africa of all its resources for your own national interest, right,
- 10:51Speaker 2: And those old colonial powers were like, yeah, we are
- 10:56Speaker 2: watch us exactly.
- 10:58Speaker 1: Yeah. To say that we're not going to be major
- 10:59Speaker 1: players it's in Africa or control who gets to what
- 11:02Speaker 1: kind of position is just not That's not the thing, buddy,
- 11:05Speaker 1: not the thing, right. Hamashold Also, funny enough, he was
- 11:09Speaker 1: awarded a Posamous Novel Peace Prize. That makes sense, and
- 11:13Speaker 1: he was the youngest ever UN Secretary General of forty
- 11:15Speaker 1: seven at that time. So Hamershold is hanging out in
- 11:18Speaker 1: Africa because the Congo is on the news every night.
- 11:22Speaker 1: These world leaders are not happy. The US is not happy,
- 11:25Speaker 1: Britain is not happy. They are not happy with how
- 11:27Speaker 1: things are going in the Congo. Right, they are rip
- 11:31Speaker 1: shit and they're rippedhit at Homershold because there's some military
- 11:34Speaker 1: action in UN soldiers got killed.
- 11:38Speaker 2: Well, what's happening at the time is there is this
- 11:44Speaker 2: area that had basically broken away from the Congo, yes
- 11:50Speaker 2: called Katanga, and Katanga or Katanga I think it was.
- 11:55Speaker 2: Katanga and the Congo are basically at war, and Dog
- 12:02Speaker 2: Hommer Should to end this war basically sends UN troops
- 12:08Speaker 2: in basically to fight against the Katanga separatists. What he
- 12:15Speaker 2: may or may not have known is that a Belgian
- 12:19Speaker 2: oil company basically installed that government in Katonga for the
- 12:25Speaker 2: sole purpose of them separating from the Congo, so then
- 12:28Speaker 2: that oil company could go in and take the oil
- 12:31Speaker 2: in that area. And he sent Dog Hommer should sends
- 12:36Speaker 2: in UN troops to try and break up that conflict,
- 12:40Speaker 2: and he fucking loses. Like you said, this is baby
- 12:44Speaker 2: un So he sends them in and we fucking lose.
- 12:48Speaker 2: And that's what he's flying to Zambia. That's where he
- 12:52Speaker 2: was flying to when he crashed.
- 12:54Speaker 1: Somerschold had made four separate trips to Congo, but everyone, yeah,
- 12:59Speaker 1: even the city, he was pissed with how he was
- 13:01Speaker 1: doing in the Congo, so they denounced his decision to
- 13:03Speaker 1: send the UN Emergency Force and to keep the peace.
- 13:06Speaker 1: They demanded his resignation in the replacement of the office
- 13:09Speaker 1: of Secretary General by a three man directorate with a
- 13:12Speaker 1: built in veto. And so basically they were like he
- 13:16Speaker 1: his actions were so disappointing to everyone that they wanted
- 13:19Speaker 1: to do away with his whole job. That's how much
- 13:21Speaker 1: he was fucking up in these people's opinions. And so
- 13:25Speaker 1: basically the Soviets considered that his efforts of decolonization had
- 13:29Speaker 1: not been sufficient un I mean sorry, the UK and
- 13:32Speaker 1: the US were pissed because there's too much decolonization, right,
- 13:36Speaker 1: So he was making everyone angry.
- 13:38Speaker 2: Yes, and go Dan Belgian oil company. That all comes
- 13:42Speaker 2: to a head when he makes this flight. He's on
- 13:44Speaker 2: his way to try and negotiate peace, yes, in this conflict,
- 13:49Speaker 2: and it doesn't go well. His plane crashes and he
- 13:55Speaker 2: dies fucking died, Laura yep.
- 13:58Speaker 1: So he died all but one of the sixteen passengers,
- 14:01Speaker 1: and that other one died a few days later from injuries.
- 14:04Speaker 1: And there was no real line of the session within
- 14:07Speaker 1: the succession within the UN as to who would be
- 14:10Speaker 1: takeover his role in the Security Council had to vote
- 14:13Speaker 1: on somebody I guess it was just so everyone in
- 14:15Speaker 1: the international was like, Oh my god, who would have
- 14:18Speaker 1: thought this would have ever happened?
- 14:21Speaker 2: Right?
- 14:21Speaker 1: And he was eight miles from the airport.
- 14:24Speaker 2: The crash was eight miles from the airport. And I
- 14:28Speaker 2: know I have it in the notes later, but one
- 14:30Speaker 2: of the weird details about this is that it took
- 14:33Speaker 2: them fifteen hours to find the crash site, even though
- 14:37Speaker 2: it was eight miles from the airport and there was
- 14:39Speaker 2: a massive fire in the jungle. I think you'd be
- 14:43Speaker 2: able to spot that. So the one of the first
- 14:46Speaker 2: people we meet besides the filmmaker in this is Uron Bjorkdahl.
- 14:54Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's Mad's and Mads Bruger, Mads Bruga is
- 15:00Speaker 1: in a cab with this old man and you're like,
- 15:02Speaker 1: who the fuck is this old man?
- 15:03Speaker 2: Turns out it's your on borg Doll or b York Doll,
- 15:07Speaker 2: and he has pictures of the crash site.
- 15:12Speaker 1: Because he's a pervert or whatever.
- 15:14Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, he doesn't jerk off to him. Why are
- 15:17Speaker 2: you being that way? And basically his father was a
- 15:23Speaker 2: diplomat who worked for the UN and his father at
- 15:27Speaker 2: one point gives him this metal plate and says, this
- 15:30Speaker 2: is from Dog Hommer Schultz plane. Keep it, maybe maybe
- 15:34Speaker 2: take it, just take it away, carry it with you
- 15:36Speaker 2: throughout your entire life, make it the basis of the
- 15:40Speaker 2: next few decades of your life. And it looks like
- 15:42Speaker 2: it's got bullet holes in it. Yeah, and that becomes
- 15:47Speaker 2: way more important. It's weird.
- 15:49Speaker 1: They seem redsin to say bullet holes. Yeah, He's like,
- 15:52Speaker 1: they have these weird holes in it.
- 15:53Speaker 2: And I'm like, well, you know what My thought mention
- 15:57Speaker 2: that was if you were shot down by rounds fired
- 16:01Speaker 2: from a plane, those are gonna be big rounds. Like
- 16:05Speaker 2: I don't think a plane's like the guns on a
- 16:07Speaker 2: plane got to twenty two strapped to So I did
- 16:12Speaker 2: the bullet holes did seem small?
- 16:14Speaker 1: But I don't Yeah, no, but yeah, you know, despite
- 16:19Speaker 1: my affinity for cap guns, you know, I don't really
- 16:22Speaker 1: know that much but that, but I thought it was
- 16:24Speaker 1: bizarrely seemed reticent to say bullet holes immediately when I
- 16:26Speaker 1: would have immediately any kind of holes in metal like that.
- 16:29Speaker 1: I just think, oh, it looks like it was shut
- 16:30Speaker 1: up a big guns. You know, Yeah, we say bullet
- 16:32Speaker 1: holes immediately. Any who they tracked on this sounds racist,
- 16:36Speaker 1: but it's important. They tracked on the black witnesses from that.
- 16:39Speaker 2: Right, because, as you can imagine, in nineteen sixty one,
- 16:44Speaker 2: authorities did not take the word of the black witnesses
- 16:49Speaker 2: who all saw this crash happen. If they wrote them
- 16:53Speaker 2: down at all, they did not take it seriously. Yes,
- 16:56Speaker 2: so Yuron actually tracks down on all of the witnesses
- 17:02Speaker 2: to this because here's the thing. Most of them just
- 17:04Speaker 2: still live in the area. And everyone reports that right
- 17:10Speaker 2: before the crash all the lights went out at the airport.
- 17:15Speaker 1: Yes, that is that is definitely an odd fact that
- 17:17Speaker 1: everyone and no one, no one that they're talking to
- 17:20Speaker 1: is unsure of what they're remembering or seems to have
- 17:22Speaker 1: any sort of confusion about what they're doing now, because
- 17:24Speaker 1: it's a fucking plane crash. I've never seen it. You
- 17:27Speaker 1: see a plane crush in person? I have not. No,
- 17:30Speaker 1: I'm neither. It's very unusual.
- 17:32Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like I would remember.
- 17:35Speaker 1: Strange experiences in life, both of us combined, millions of
- 17:38Speaker 1: weirdo ones and but no, not that. Yeah, they memorable.
- 17:42Speaker 2: They all report that the lights went out, They all
- 17:45Speaker 2: report seeing a huge fire, except one person, who is
- 17:50Speaker 2: the air traffic controller who was on duty that night,
- 17:53Speaker 2: and weirdly, he destroyed his notes from that day the
- 17:58Speaker 2: following day and then had to rewrite them, and then
- 18:00Speaker 2: they included no mention of a fire or a crash. Yeah,
- 18:06Speaker 2: so it's at that point it's his word against everyone
- 18:10Speaker 2: in the vicinity who all saw those lights go out
- 18:14Speaker 2: and saw that crash. And they also reported here in
- 18:17Speaker 2: something else strange, they reported hearing the sound of not
- 18:22Speaker 2: only another plane, but that other plane was shooting at
- 18:27Speaker 2: the plane that ended up crashing. Yeah.
- 18:30Speaker 1: Crazy, weird how things sound like things like a plane
- 18:34Speaker 1: shooting another plane, which I've never heard, but I imagine
- 18:37Speaker 1: would be very distinct in terms of what we know
- 18:42Speaker 1: for external facts in this situation. In nineteen sixty two,
- 18:45Speaker 1: a Rhodesioning Greek concluded that the pilot was an error
- 18:48Speaker 1: into blame. Well, later you in investigation could not determine
- 18:51Speaker 1: the cause of the crash, right, and CIA blame the
- 18:54Speaker 1: KGB like they do, like they love to do.
- 18:58Speaker 2: Yeah, I loved to do. CIA comes up a lot
- 19:01Speaker 2: in this, Yeah, a whole lot, the CIA and British intelligence. Yes,
- 19:07Speaker 2: which if we're talking Belgians, Yeah, if we're talking people
- 19:11Speaker 2: who would be mad about the colonial powers losing their power.
- 19:17Speaker 2: There you go.
- 19:17Speaker 1: It's funny. It's like high powered US intelligence people in government,
- 19:22Speaker 1: the British Belgian. You think we were talking about child
- 19:25Speaker 1: rape exactly, I know. But as Africa crazy go start
- 19:29Speaker 1: a child porn ring like I know, real illuminati, but
- 19:33Speaker 1: there were trafficking kids and drinking their blood. But no, no,
- 19:36Speaker 1: So this is horrible as well. And it actually happens
- 19:39Speaker 1: for sure for definites.
- 19:40Speaker 2: So yeah.
- 19:41Speaker 1: The day after the crash, former US President Harry Truman
- 19:44Speaker 1: commented that Hammershuld was on the point of getting something
- 19:47Speaker 1: done when they killed him. Notice that I said, when
- 19:50Speaker 1: they killed him.
- 19:51Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 19:52Speaker 1: Subtle, Harry, very subtle. Subtle.
- 19:54Speaker 2: Yeah. Once once Harry Truman had hear that once he
- 19:59Speaker 2: had nuclear weapons, he swung his dick around.
- 20:01Speaker 1: Shit, dude.
- 20:02Speaker 2: He was like, I'll say, whatever the fuck I want. Pal.
- 20:06Speaker 2: The most interesting interview in this documentary, I would argue,
- 20:11Speaker 2: is Charles Southall, who was a former NSA agent, and
- 20:18Speaker 2: he claims that at one point he gets a phone
- 20:21Speaker 2: call and someone's like, you got to come to the office.
- 20:25Speaker 2: This is gonna be cool. And he gets to the
- 20:28Speaker 2: office and they play him a recording of what he
- 20:32Speaker 2: said everyone in the room was able to identify as
- 20:38Speaker 2: this Belgian mercenary pilot that they all knew as the
- 20:43Speaker 2: lone ranger. Write that name down everyone listening to this
- 20:48Speaker 2: shooting down a plane somewhere in Africa. And the person
- 20:52Speaker 2: who called him in when he plays the recording goes,
- 20:55Speaker 2: this is history and it's only seven minutes old. And
- 20:58Speaker 2: what he came to find out about that recording was
- 21:02Speaker 2: it was a recording of someone shooting down Dog Hommer
- 21:07Speaker 2: Schultz plane, which is pretty crazy. That is a it's
- 21:11Speaker 2: a wild allegation, and I would argue that in this
- 21:15Speaker 2: documentary they do a decent job of kind of confirming
- 21:20Speaker 2: that that probably happened.
- 21:22Speaker 1: Yes, it is a brazen crime to think that someone would,
- 21:28Speaker 1: middle of the day just fly by another plane and
- 21:32Speaker 1: shoot at it, killing sixteen people on board, right when
- 21:36Speaker 1: full of you have witness eight miles from an airport. Yeah,
- 21:39Speaker 1: in the middle of nowhere, necessarily, but it's an afterdah
- 21:42Speaker 1: it is. I'm saying, it's remote, but it's not like
- 21:44Speaker 1: where it's like, you know, we're hundreds of miles from
- 21:46Speaker 1: an airport or something where like no one lives around here,
- 21:49Speaker 1: no witnesses. Yeah, so witnesses someone survived for a couple
- 21:53Speaker 1: of days shot down in broad daylight. Brazen, brazen boats brass,
- 21:59Speaker 1: These people botus brass. So yes, definitely that lone ranger
- 22:03Speaker 1: thing comes up. This got me the chills. The plane card,
- 22:08Speaker 1: the playing card.
- 22:09Speaker 2: One of the crazy things about the pictures of Dog
- 22:13Speaker 2: Hommerschoult's body. There are no pictures of his body as
- 22:19Speaker 2: it appeared when he was found. There are only pictures
- 22:23Speaker 2: of his body after it had been moved to a stretcher,
- 22:26Speaker 2: which that's weird. Yes, and then all the bodies around
- 22:32Speaker 2: him are like charred, they are completely burned, and he
- 22:38Speaker 2: is not. You can make out his face, you can
- 22:41Speaker 2: still see his shirt is still mostly white, it's true,
- 22:44Speaker 2: but he's also got an ace of spades, like tucked
- 22:48Speaker 2: into the collar of his shirt.
- 22:50Speaker 1: My eyes bulged out of my head when I saw that.
- 22:53Speaker 1: I was like, I cannot fucking believe it. This is
- 22:57Speaker 1: so staged. It's like excepting a serial killer would do.
- 23:02Speaker 1: It's a mafia fucking hint. It's just this is one
- 23:05Speaker 1: of one of the things we talk about. Yeah, like
- 23:07Speaker 1: for this documentary or this conspiracy theory, you don't really
- 23:10Speaker 1: have to reach I mean, it's right at your little fingertips.
- 23:14Speaker 1: I mean, it's these are not like, oh, well, maybe
- 23:18Speaker 1: the body was in this position, which could have been this.
- 23:20Speaker 1: It's like the body was propped up with a fucking
- 23:22Speaker 1: plane card in his collar.
- 23:24Speaker 2: Right, and everyone else was and there's a photo of
- 23:27Speaker 2: it burned to the point of not being recognizable. Uh huh,
- 23:31Speaker 2: that does not And the fact, this is the point
- 23:34Speaker 2: in the documentary where they bring up that it took
- 23:37Speaker 2: fifteen hours to locate the crash site, the crash site
- 23:43Speaker 2: of the fucking Secretary General of the UN. It took
- 23:48Speaker 2: fifteen hours to get eight miles from the airport where
- 23:52Speaker 2: there's a huge fire. Like the air traffic controller said
- 23:56Speaker 2: he didn't see a fire. All the bodies are burned
- 23:59Speaker 2: to a c at this crash site. How would you
- 24:03Speaker 2: not in again, we're in Africa, like in this it's
- 24:08Speaker 2: nineteen sixties Africa. Yeah, so there weren't a lot.
- 24:11Speaker 1: Of substructure developed.
- 24:13Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, there's not a lot of obstructions between that
- 24:16Speaker 2: line of site.
- 24:17Speaker 1: There's not a lot of gigantic fires going on.
- 24:19Speaker 2: No.
- 24:20Speaker 1: Uh, it seemed that it was. It's just so obvious.
- 24:24Speaker 1: It's just you would need to in order to not
- 24:27Speaker 1: see this, you would be need to have been threatened
- 24:30Speaker 1: not to or been paid off not to. Right, it
- 24:33Speaker 1: needs to be someone's best interest for you to look
- 24:35Speaker 1: at this case and not see that it's a it's
- 24:37Speaker 1: a manufactured death, it's a murder, it's an assassination.
- 24:40Speaker 2: And that that air traffic controller destroying his notes the
- 24:44Speaker 2: next day, that that's pretty fucking damning.
- 24:47Speaker 1: And he's on his way to negotiate a ceasefire, right,
- 24:51Speaker 1: very specific purpose in mind.
- 24:52Speaker 2: Yeah, a ceasefire that the world's superpowers did not want.
- 24:59Speaker 2: It's a good document turning. Yeah. At one point, the
- 25:02Speaker 2: UN reopens the case after hearing Charles Southall's comments, and
- 25:09Speaker 2: they actually reach out to the NSSA and they're like, hey,
- 25:14Speaker 2: we need any recordings you got from this night in
- 25:18Speaker 2: nineteen sixty one. And the NSSAY and the United States
- 25:22Speaker 2: government right back and say the information you requested is classified,
- 25:28Speaker 2: which means, yes, what you're asking for exists, but we
- 25:32Speaker 2: cannot give it to you for national security reasons. And
- 25:35Speaker 2: they're asking for that recording of this Belgian mercenary pilot
- 25:41Speaker 2: shooting down dog Homer Schultz plane. And we the United
- 25:45Speaker 2: States were like sorry, classified can't do it.
- 25:48Speaker 1: What gets being at the end of the day with
- 25:50Speaker 1: the US and the issue of security is like it's
- 25:54Speaker 1: really twisted and sick because you can logically say it
- 25:58Speaker 1: is in the US's security interest to look like we
- 26:00Speaker 1: are good and do no bad, Right, I understand that.
- 26:04Speaker 1: I'm like, logically, yes, I understand why that makes sense,
- 26:08Speaker 1: even though it's divorced from reality and fucked up and
- 26:12Speaker 1: not something we should aspire to continue. Yeah, but it's like, oh,
- 26:15Speaker 1: you can say fucking anything is for your security, Like,
- 26:19Speaker 1: so then you no one will ever be able to
- 26:22Speaker 1: request any information that would ever imply the US has
- 26:24Speaker 1: ever made a mistake in anything.
- 26:26Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm I'm starting to feel like part of the
- 26:29Speaker 2: reason the UN exists is because of us, Like the
- 26:33Speaker 2: world wanted a little bit of protection from US also.
- 26:37Speaker 1: Mm hmmm, and we were attempting to do that even
- 26:39Speaker 1: though even.
- 26:40Speaker 2: Though we were integral in launching it. Yeah, that doesn't
- 26:43Speaker 2: mean the president at the time wasn't like, uh, we're
- 26:47Speaker 2: getting out of control. Yeah, I gotta help put something
- 26:50Speaker 2: in place before I'm out of office.
- 26:52Speaker 1: That's safety on this pistol. Maybe, Yeah, Okay, So no
- 26:56Speaker 1: one wants to give up the truth. When it comes
- 26:58Speaker 1: to this, no one officially wants to talk about anything.
- 27:00Speaker 1: It seems like everything is you know, just hinting, not
- 27:05Speaker 1: data beforehand.
- 27:06Speaker 2: Right, And that's when we get to the craziest aspect
- 27:14Speaker 2: of this story. It's called the South African Institute for
- 27:17Speaker 2: Maritime Research CIMA.
- 27:20Speaker 1: Did you want for Tima?
- 27:21Speaker 2: Simon, did you want for TIMA? This what I found
- 27:25Speaker 2: this fucking fascinating. Yes, when back when the apartheid regime
- 27:33Speaker 2: in South Africa, shortly after they lost power, there was
- 27:40Speaker 2: this thing called the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which I've heard.
- 27:44Speaker 1: It before, you know when you're staying South African history
- 27:46Speaker 1: to talk about it with yeah after yeah with them.
- 27:49Speaker 2: And it was meant to investigate and discuss the crimes
- 27:55Speaker 2: of the apartheid regime. And as it was closing down
- 28:00Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety eight, they they're at this press conference
- 28:05Speaker 2: and Desmond Tutu, who is a really well respected leader
- 28:11Speaker 2: on the world stage, he's at this press conference and
- 28:15Speaker 2: he mentions finding documents tying the South African Institute for
- 28:21Speaker 2: Maritime Research to the sabotage of the dog Hommerschold plane
- 28:26Speaker 2: and British Intelligence and CIA are also mentioned in the documents.
- 28:31Speaker 2: We claimed that it was just Cold War era misinformation,
- 28:36Speaker 2: but it mentions this guy named Keith Maxwell, who is
- 28:39Speaker 2: the commodore.
- 28:40Speaker 1: The super villain of the piece. Yeah, and for.
- 28:45Speaker 2: Most of this documentary, I could not tell if this
- 28:48Speaker 2: guy was just a crazy person or if he was
- 28:52Speaker 2: an evil person.
- 28:54Speaker 1: Immediately, I was like, damn, these motherfiers evil.
- 28:59Speaker 2: I landed on evil eventually, But at first I feel
- 29:04Speaker 2: like they do a pretty good job making it not
- 29:06Speaker 2: real clear as to whether he's telling the truth about
- 29:10Speaker 2: what he's saying. Yeah, and we'll just talk about Keith Maxwell.
- 29:15Speaker 2: He's the commodore of the AM. I gonna have to
- 29:19Speaker 2: say this. Let's just call it cymar. Everyone get it
- 29:22Speaker 2: in your head now. South African Institute for Maritime Research.
- 29:26Speaker 1: It sounds like they research dolphins.
- 29:28Speaker 2: Not true, right, they do not?
- 29:31Speaker 1: No.
- 29:31Speaker 2: One guy claims that he was running human experiments on
- 29:37Speaker 2: black women. Keith Maxwell was his ex wife. Says he
- 29:41Speaker 2: liked to run mental experiments on people without the knowledge,
- 29:44Speaker 2: and that he set up fake clinics in black neighborhoods
- 29:48Speaker 2: to conduct these experiments. And it seems like that was true.
- 29:52Speaker 1: And get false injections and bullshit.
- 29:55Speaker 2: Right and it yeah he was this was you know
- 30:00Speaker 2: apartheid air Well, were these in South Africa?
- 30:05Speaker 1: Yes, the clinics, Yeah, yes, yeah, that's what they're saying
- 30:09Speaker 1: in the townships.
- 30:10Speaker 2: So yeah, he set up these clinics. He told some
- 30:14Speaker 2: people at these clinics that he was a mercenary who
- 30:17Speaker 2: worked in the Congo. Ah.
- 30:19Speaker 1: Funny, weird, weird, that's not something you hear every day.
- 30:22Speaker 2: Yeah. So the documents that they produce at this Truth
- 30:27Speaker 2: and Reconciliation press conference talk about something called Operations Celeste,
- 30:33Speaker 2: or as the filmmaker says it, Operations Celesta, which I
- 30:37Speaker 2: don't know, queen, it's right, but that's the alleged code
- 30:41Speaker 2: name for the operation to kill Dog Hammer should and
- 30:45Speaker 2: Mads decides who Mad's is. The filmmaker, He decides to
- 30:51Speaker 2: try and find a bunch of people who are named
- 30:54Speaker 2: in these documents, which is crazy to me. Like, we're
- 30:57Speaker 2: talking about the murder of the Secretary General of the
- 31:01Speaker 2: UN and you're like, I better go snooping around, I
- 31:04Speaker 2: better go.
- 31:04Speaker 1: I bet I'll show up at his place and he'll
- 31:06Speaker 1: want to talk immediately.
- 31:07Speaker 2: Right.
- 31:08Speaker 1: Oh, hi, I've been waiting for you.
- 31:09Speaker 2: And it's weird. Sometimes people do.
- 31:11Speaker 1: Yeah, sometimes it's been out how old they are. Yeah,
- 31:14Speaker 1: if you're like on your death store, yeah, maybe you
- 31:16Speaker 1: want to talk about it. You're like, sure, I got
- 31:18Speaker 1: nothing else to do. I'm gonna die in a couple hours.
- 31:19Speaker 1: Clean my conscience. He does find it, dude.
- 31:22Speaker 2: Yeah, he finds a bunch of people. He finds one
- 31:25Speaker 2: guy named doctor Claude Newberry, and he confirms that he
- 31:29Speaker 2: knew Keith Maxwell and that Maxwell tried to recruit him
- 31:33Speaker 2: into CIMAR. This is where a hard left turn happens. Yeah,
- 31:39Speaker 2: because up to this point, the documentary is about the
- 31:42Speaker 2: death of dog Hammer. Should uh huh.
- 31:45Speaker 1: And all of a sudden and you're like assassination, planes, corruption, Africa,
- 31:49Speaker 1: government intervention, military stuff. You're like, okay, all this is
- 31:52Speaker 1: par for the course. I came to expect this.
- 31:54Speaker 2: Not this. Yeah, hard left turn. Maxwell tells him AIDS
- 32:00Speaker 2: is biological warfare, and not only that, but Keith Maxwell
- 32:04Speaker 2: says he is researching ways to kill black people using
- 32:08Speaker 2: AIDS as a weapon. And I did not see that coming.
- 32:13Speaker 1: Yeah, yikes, this is the momoent. You're you're just, oh,
- 32:16Speaker 1: we're going here now, Holy Moses. So that's when you
- 32:20Speaker 1: start to be like, is Skuy a mental? Is he
- 32:24Speaker 1: a mental case? This is where he started to think,
- 32:26Speaker 1: is this guy a bit psycho? Because when reviewing the film,
- 32:30Speaker 1: I believe there was a doctor who's like, oh, it
- 32:32Speaker 1: would have been impossible to you know, weaponize AIDS in
- 32:36Speaker 1: that fashion at that time. I don't know how he
- 32:38Speaker 1: can say that conclusively.
- 32:40Speaker 2: Yeah, tell it to Shuge Knight. He talked about giving
- 32:44Speaker 2: people aids needle injections.
- 32:46Speaker 1: Oh yeah. In the New York Times, doctor Salim Abdul
- 32:49Speaker 1: Kareem claimed an article that a spreading the HVA virus
- 32:52Speaker 1: would not have been technically feasible at the time, so
- 32:55Speaker 1: they said that it's a conspiracy theory and yeah, yeah.
- 33:00Speaker 2: But also that's I think something people need to realize about,
- 33:05Speaker 2: like the big media in this country. The big media
- 33:09Speaker 2: in this country is basically state media. Yes, and there
- 33:13Speaker 2: are some things we're just all like everyone's just always
- 33:17Speaker 2: going to be united on. And when I say that,
- 33:20Speaker 2: I mean the big media outlets because like, at the
- 33:24Speaker 2: end of the day' that's we have the media that
- 33:27Speaker 2: we make fun of, like North Korea for having like
- 33:30Speaker 2: we cover up the same amount of shit we lie
- 33:33Speaker 2: about things. We lie to our people, and so I'm
- 33:36Speaker 2: not that sold just because the New York Times said
- 33:40Speaker 2: it's a conspiracy theory.
- 33:41Speaker 1: No, no, well the thing that kind of rocks that
- 33:44Speaker 1: is this is just a Wikipedia you can check this out.
- 33:47Speaker 1: But despite previous reports during the South African government trial
- 33:50Speaker 1: of doctor which are Bastan, head of the South African
- 33:53Speaker 1: Defense forts secret German biological warfare Project Coast, which revealed's
- 33:59Speaker 1: weaponization of HIV by freeze drine.
- 34:02Speaker 2: Ah see, so sobody done it that and stick it
- 34:08Speaker 2: in your syringe and then put it in your arm
- 34:10Speaker 2: and then.
- 34:11Speaker 1: At these give me heroin with it? Come. Yeah, these
- 34:15Speaker 1: give me the good stuff.
- 34:16Speaker 2: And like everything we know about how AID spread was
- 34:20Speaker 2: that it was like dirty needles and shit, right, so
- 34:23Speaker 2: obviously transition.
- 34:25Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I don't know why they don't think that
- 34:27Speaker 1: just seems absurd to me. I'm not so sure. So
- 34:30Speaker 1: my favorite this is really this is a great like
- 34:33Speaker 1: Michael Moore's style confrontation without being necessarily so you know, intense,
- 34:38Speaker 1: but I do love it. It was as good as
- 34:39Speaker 1: confrontations you see in Michael Moore movies. Yeah, so they
- 34:42Speaker 1: find this dude, they find this guy Renee. Renee go
- 34:47Speaker 1: and they go to his fucking house. Right, they go
- 34:52Speaker 1: to his fucking house, and Renee looks Dopey's balls. He
- 34:55Speaker 1: looks like he's about to go mow the lawn, and
- 34:57Speaker 1: he looks like all confused and disheveled, and the Mads
- 35:02Speaker 1: just like busts south this document and he's like, hey,
- 35:06Speaker 1: this is a CIMAR document. What's that. It's a signature
- 35:09Speaker 1: that says Renee Gore. What do you think about that?
- 35:11Speaker 1: And what does he say in response?
- 35:14Speaker 2: It's identity theft Okay. He's like, yeah, it's my signature.
- 35:19Speaker 2: And they're like, well, how did it get on there?
- 35:21Speaker 2: And he goes, you figure it out?
- 35:25Speaker 1: Like that's always one of my favorite responds. I just
- 35:27Speaker 1: want to to see where like a character just gets
- 35:29Speaker 1: a call and they're like, what do you mean bodies
- 35:31Speaker 1: in my crawl space? You figured out? Yeahs I pay
- 35:36Speaker 1: your salaries pigs.
- 35:39Speaker 2: Yeah, he's really belip it. Yeah, he's really stand offish
- 35:45Speaker 2: about all this. And then he it finally circles around
- 35:49Speaker 2: to him claiming he took improv classes with Keith Maxwell,
- 35:53Speaker 2: and it's like, dude, I would admit to being in
- 35:56Speaker 2: Cymar first before I'd admit to those improv.
- 35:59Speaker 1: C Oh my god, I just had seen in my
- 36:02Speaker 1: mind the guy either just like, so, uh so you're
- 36:05Speaker 1: a vict him of vitnity theft and he's like, yeah, yeah,
- 36:07Speaker 1: it's really bad. They're like, okay, so so this identity thief.
- 36:12Speaker 1: Have they used your your identity for you know, fraudulent banking,
- 36:16Speaker 1: a kind of other financial things, personal things, voting, anything
- 36:22Speaker 1: like that.
- 36:22Speaker 2: He's like, oh no, just this, Yeah, so just that
- 36:25Speaker 2: put my name on a cimar document from the nineties
- 36:28Speaker 2: or whenever this has used my name and.
- 36:31Speaker 1: A fake medical phogus that tried to uponize HIV. Yeah, papp,
- 36:34Speaker 1: it's the best of us all the time. They're just
- 36:36Speaker 1: going through your try so. Yeah. So they're asking if
- 36:38Speaker 1: they're like, so, how do you know this student, He's like,
- 36:40Speaker 1: I think we did. We did the theater, theater, we
- 36:42Speaker 1: to classes, what kind of classes? Theater?
- 36:46Speaker 2: Drama?
- 36:47Speaker 1: Like heavy stuff like no known was it improv?
- 36:51Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 36:51Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was.
- 36:57Speaker 2: Like you're doing some improv right now.
- 36:59Speaker 1: Pal Zip steps up with Keith Thakswell. What is that
- 37:02Speaker 1: thing they clapping in whatever games.
- 37:04Speaker 2: Like a piece of bacon.
- 37:05Speaker 1: Oh my god. He threw him the ball or whatever. Uh.
- 37:08Speaker 2: They also talked to a guy named t Andy Groenwald
- 37:13Speaker 2: who becomes really important later. So remember that name that
- 37:17Speaker 2: I just pronounced incorrectly. He met Keith Maxwell, says Maxwell
- 37:22Speaker 2: offered him weapons and money to arm white people to
- 37:26Speaker 2: fight black people, but he didn't take that money because
- 37:31Speaker 2: he thought Keith Maxwell was funded by six So apparently
- 37:35Speaker 2: it's not that he didn't want money to arm white
- 37:38Speaker 2: people to fight black people, he just didn't want it
- 37:40Speaker 2: coming from the British government. Real stand up guy.
- 37:44Speaker 1: Wow.
- 37:45Speaker 2: But he also says he never heard of Cymar and
- 37:49Speaker 2: that the documents might be fake mm, which that's that
- 37:55Speaker 2: is always possible.
- 37:56Speaker 1: Like Russia documents specialist.
- 37:58Speaker 2: Though Russia did get up to a lot of document
- 38:02Speaker 2: faking during the Cold War.
- 38:05Speaker 1: Oh sure they did, right, But because someone's never heard
- 38:09Speaker 1: of I don't like when people say because they're not
- 38:11Speaker 1: directly aware of something that it can't exist. I don't
- 38:15Speaker 1: really like that as an explanation off hand. I just
- 38:17Speaker 1: don't think it really holds water, because people are giving
- 38:23Speaker 1: access to things all the time that they're in the
- 38:25Speaker 1: need to know sort of scenario, I guess. But yeah,
- 38:28Speaker 1: so that didn't totally take me out of the game,
- 38:30Speaker 1: just him saying it. No, not so much. Yeah, pussy
- 38:33Speaker 1: loves to fight black people. Yeah, apparently clear text seems
- 38:37Speaker 1: to be the subtext.
- 38:37Speaker 2: It seems like that's a quirk of his.
- 38:41Speaker 1: So it's integrity to me, it's not sky high.
- 38:43Speaker 2: They bring up a interesting cable that Ed Guion, who
- 38:49Speaker 2: was ambassador to the Congo, sent a cable to the
- 38:52Speaker 2: US State Department saying Hamer Schult's plane might have been
- 38:57Speaker 2: shot down, Bye say it US America a Belgian mercenary
- 39:03Speaker 2: and this time he named the guy. His name was
- 39:06Speaker 2: von Reesigan something like that.
- 39:10Speaker 1: Isn't it funny that two separate sources both named a
- 39:13Speaker 1: Belgian mercenary or a Belgian. Right, it's the one to
- 39:18Speaker 1: do it. I know what you're saying. We're in that area,
- 39:20Speaker 1: there's Belgians all about. But I think that is they're
- 39:22Speaker 1: not saying it was someone. They're not saying it was
- 39:25Speaker 1: a British person. They're not saying it was a member
- 39:27Speaker 1: of the Sorry, the Congo and the what is the
- 39:31Speaker 1: other place. I'm terrible the breakaway section Kanga Congo and
- 39:38Speaker 1: Caanga no Katanga. I'm sorry that sounded disrespectful. It's your country.
- 39:43Speaker 1: So no, it wasn't someone from Katanga, it wasn't someone
- 39:46Speaker 1: from the Congo, it wasn't someone from the British or
- 39:49Speaker 1: the Americans. It was a Belgian, right, and we did
- 39:53Speaker 1: say that, so I think that's kind of.
- 39:54Speaker 2: They also interview a guy named Pierre Coppins, who was
- 39:58Speaker 2: a former Belgian paratr.
- 40:00Speaker 1: I think he's still Belgian.
- 40:01Speaker 2: Yeah, well no, I don't think he is. I stand
- 40:05Speaker 2: by it. Prove I'm wrong.
- 40:08Speaker 1: Uh.
- 40:09Speaker 2: He says that von Reesigan told him that he shot
- 40:13Speaker 2: down Hamer Schultz plane. Resag was Belgian and British. As
- 40:20Speaker 2: it turns out, he flew for the Royal Air Force
- 40:24Speaker 2: during World War Two. His code name at the time
- 40:28Speaker 2: the Lone Ranger, which is how just to if it
- 40:34Speaker 2: rings a bell. That's how Charles southall that nsa agent
- 40:38Speaker 2: who claims he heard that recording. That's what he said.
- 40:42Speaker 2: Everyone in the room identified this person on the recording
- 40:47Speaker 2: as a Belgian mercenary that they all knew as the
- 40:51Speaker 2: Lone Ranger.
- 40:53Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not like, uh, you know guy from Texas
- 40:57Speaker 1: named Texts or like you know, some left handed guy
- 41:02Speaker 1: named Lefty. It's like very specific. You're a Belgian pilot
- 41:07Speaker 1: named the Lone Ranger. Yes, right right on the money.
- 41:11Speaker 2: And they managed to track down his wife. Yeah, and
- 41:14Speaker 2: it's like, what do you think the wife's gonna tell you?
- 41:17Speaker 2: I don't know, Like she just obviously she was like, oh,
- 41:20Speaker 2: it's just not hammerschalteing again and then ran back in
- 41:23Speaker 2: the house.
- 41:24Speaker 1: Yeah, they're better cookies. Sorry Danish anyway. Uh, yeah, she
- 41:28Speaker 1: doesn't really give anything very telling. You know what I'm saying.
- 41:32Speaker 1: It's not very it's not great evidence, but yeah, I
- 41:36Speaker 1: think that's very compelling if multiple people are saying, hey,
- 41:40Speaker 1: and they have no interest in this and they actually
- 41:42Speaker 1: could ruin their career, right, But they're not even saying
- 41:45Speaker 1: necessarily when you say conspiracy, they're just like, yeah, that
- 41:48Speaker 1: guy was murdered.
- 41:49Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 41:50Speaker 1: It's not even like its vast multiple different I mean,
- 41:52Speaker 1: the groups the groups here are pretty the players are
- 41:56Speaker 1: pretty obvious. There's not any players that you have to
- 41:58Speaker 1: guess at.
- 41:59Speaker 2: No.
- 42:00Speaker 1: I mean, but like in some place here, who hasn't
- 42:03Speaker 1: before engaged in the active assassination Let's say that, oh absolutely,
- 42:07Speaker 1: but all of them have done assassinations before and did
- 42:09Speaker 1: assassinations after. So how are we supposed to sing, No,
- 42:12Speaker 1: I think at this time they probably didn't assassinate. At
- 42:14Speaker 1: least somebody pulled the trigger.
- 42:16Speaker 2: Yeah, someone definitely killed this guy. And there comes a
- 42:22Speaker 2: point in this documentary where it seems like all is
- 42:24Speaker 2: lost because.
- 42:26Speaker 1: They can't get they can't they can't clench it.
- 42:28Speaker 2: Yeah, we we haven't mentioned that. At one point, they
- 42:32Speaker 2: go out to the crash site, which is it's all
- 42:35Speaker 2: just buried there, like it's all still there, and they
- 42:38Speaker 2: go out to dig it up, and they get like
- 42:41Speaker 2: a day into that, and airport security shuts them down
- 42:45Speaker 2: and won't let them continue. And then they find out
- 42:51Speaker 2: that the panel that I forget his name now, yeah,
- 42:56Speaker 2: Goran has been carrying around with him. The the UN
- 43:00Speaker 2: reopens an investigation into this and they request that panel,
- 43:04Speaker 2: and then they send it to the FBI, and the
- 43:07Speaker 2: FBI is like, this is off like a fucking range
- 43:10Speaker 2: rover or something. Whoa, this isn't even the thing. So
- 43:17Speaker 2: it seems like everything is lost, like they're not going
- 43:21Speaker 2: to be able to finish this. And then Urine comes
- 43:24Speaker 2: up with this list and it's a list of dudes
- 43:28Speaker 2: who responded to an ad that Keith Maxwell put in
- 43:32Speaker 2: a newspaper looking for mercenaries and they were responding to
- 43:39Speaker 2: a simar ad basically, and that's when everything kind of
- 43:45Speaker 2: turns around because they start interviewing these dudes who the
- 43:49Speaker 2: first person. At first, they try to call people and
- 43:52Speaker 2: everyone's like, no, I'm not talking to you. But then
- 43:55Speaker 2: for some reason, you show up at the person's house
- 43:57Speaker 2: with a camera in their face and they're like, all right,
- 43:59Speaker 2: I'll talk to you. It's fine. And the first guy
- 44:01Speaker 2: they talked to could not look more like a person
- 44:04Speaker 2: that you would pay one hundred thousand dollars to to
- 44:06Speaker 2: help topple a foreign government. Mm hmm, like he has
- 44:09Speaker 2: that vibe. And sure enough, he goes in his closet
- 44:12Speaker 2: and pulls out a fucking certificate from Cymar and he's like,
- 44:16Speaker 2: of course it was real. Here it is like, because
- 44:18Speaker 2: up to this point they weren't sure if this was
- 44:20Speaker 2: even a real thing.
- 44:21Speaker 1: Yes, it was shady, it was Shandy's hell yeah. And
- 44:24Speaker 1: then we have one white supremacy who's like, oh no, no,
- 44:27Speaker 1: those documents don't look so real exactly.
- 44:32Speaker 2: So they start trying to track down the people on
- 44:36Speaker 2: this list, and one of the people they end up
- 44:40Speaker 2: talking to is this guy named Alexander Jones, and he
- 44:44Speaker 2: is probably the most important interview in this documentary. He's
- 44:49Speaker 2: got a lot to say. He talks to them in
- 44:53Speaker 2: person and says CIMAR was a clandestine mercenary organization funded
- 45:00Speaker 2: by foreign governments. And now I'm getting a pop up
- 45:03Speaker 2: just as.
- 45:03Speaker 1: We say, funny too, because it's like, man, South Africa,
- 45:06Speaker 1: get it together. Canching even fund your own mercenary groups anymore? Yeah, yeah, everything, yikes,
- 45:12Speaker 1: come on, let's get it together.
- 45:14Speaker 2: And he said their role was to destabilize countries and
- 45:17Speaker 2: carry out other missions. He said there were as many
- 45:20Speaker 2: as five thousand members.
- 45:22Speaker 1: Shit.
- 45:23Speaker 2: And then at one point he's listing off the things
- 45:26Speaker 2: that they worked on and he just almost kind of
- 45:29Speaker 2: casually throws out this quote, we were involved in Mozambique
- 45:33Speaker 2: spreading the AIDS virus through medical conditions, and then he
- 45:37Speaker 2: just like starts mentioning other shit, and the filmmaker and
- 45:41Speaker 2: I think Urine was with him, are both like rewind,
- 45:45Speaker 2: can you can you go back? Where are you saying
- 45:47Speaker 2: that you spread the AIDS virus on purpose? And he's
- 45:51Speaker 2: like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah we did that, which, uh
- 45:55Speaker 2: that's pretty vaccines through vaccines.
- 45:58Speaker 1: Yeah, at them I'm pessogen about giving these anti vaxxers anything.
- 46:04Speaker 1: I don't know I feel about giving them this nugget.
- 46:06Speaker 2: Of truth exactly.
- 46:08Speaker 1: I feel uncomfortable with it. Well they're yeah, they're gabbing, cold,
- 46:12Speaker 1: dirty true.
- 46:13Speaker 2: I don't like. They also talk about the case of
- 46:18Speaker 2: a woman named Dogmar.
- 46:20Speaker 1: Fail Sagmar right, she was, she was a piece.
- 46:26Speaker 2: She was also a white supremacist.
- 46:27Speaker 1: It's that name. I'm just laughing at the name. Jagmar
- 46:30Speaker 1: file or feel she was.
- 46:33Speaker 2: She was recruited into Simar. She worked in a lab
- 46:37Speaker 2: of some sort, but never gave her brother details. But
- 46:40Speaker 2: she did mention AIDS research a whole bunch and at
- 46:45Speaker 2: one point they like just really quickly or like, so
- 46:48Speaker 2: she became a white supremacist. And then they say she
- 46:52Speaker 2: went to Mozambique and was there to give vaccines and
- 46:57Speaker 2: then found out that she was actually doing was spreading
- 47:01Speaker 2: the AIDS virus, and decided she was going to tell
- 47:05Speaker 2: the truth about it. So they murdered her, stabbed her
- 47:09Speaker 2: to day.
- 47:10Speaker 1: And what's that a frankoin about all people and good
- 47:14Speaker 1: stuff and people being good. I don't know, remember that, No,
- 47:20Speaker 1: h thirteen year olds are crazy, can't trust him. Uh
- 47:24Speaker 1: So back to Alexander Jones.
- 47:26Speaker 2: Yeah, Alexander Jones. Once he says this, he starts to
- 47:31Speaker 2: really go off and give up a lot of details.
- 47:36Speaker 2: And he says it was about retaining white supremacy on
- 47:40Speaker 2: the African continent, and says all of those local clinics
- 47:45Speaker 2: that Keith Maxwell set up were actually set up to
- 47:49Speaker 2: spread the AIDS virus. And he also knew dog Mar
- 47:53Speaker 2: file and confirmed the Mozambique story and that she was
- 47:58Speaker 2: going to testify about the bread of AIDS. So Simar
- 48:02Speaker 2: took her out and her mom wants to tell this
- 48:05Speaker 2: story in front of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and
- 48:09Speaker 2: they won't let her. They decide it's too controversial. But
- 48:14Speaker 2: later Keith Maxwell for some reason, like grows a conscience
- 48:19Speaker 2: or something, and as he's about to leave the country,
- 48:22Speaker 2: he gives her all this information pertaining to her daughter,
- 48:26Speaker 2: like all of these documents.
- 48:28Speaker 1: See, this is why I think Keith Maxwell is a
- 48:30Speaker 1: super villain, because the amount of explaining of how evil
- 48:34Speaker 1: he is is something that only bond villains do. Oh yeah,
- 48:37Speaker 1: so that's my point, that's my two cents.
- 48:40Speaker 2: In those documents, they find a ledger that claims Teeny
- 48:45Speaker 2: Groenewald ordered the killing of Dagmar, the same guy who
- 48:50Speaker 2: earlier in the documentary said he had never heard of
- 48:53Speaker 2: Simar at all.
- 48:54Speaker 1: Yes, and they looked like fake documents. Yeah, looks fake
- 48:58Speaker 1: to me, mate.
- 49:00Speaker 2: That's how they talk in South Africa.
- 49:02Speaker 1: That's how you are when you're scrutinizing documents.
- 49:05Speaker 2: Alexander Jones says he thinks that they were all at
- 49:09Speaker 2: Ceimar working at the behest of the British government, which sure,
- 49:14Speaker 2: like that's that's a thing. We know. Governments get up
- 49:18Speaker 2: like we know the CIA does that. The CIA sets
- 49:21Speaker 2: up groups and fucking communes and shit all over the
- 49:25Speaker 2: fucking world, and all the time these things are getting
- 49:29Speaker 2: traced back to the CIA. So it stands to reason
- 49:33Speaker 2: that the British government, Like, what's the British government going
- 49:36Speaker 2: to do if they want someone to shoot down dog
- 49:39Speaker 2: Hommer Schultz plane, are they going to send the British military?
- 49:42Speaker 2: Of course not. No, you gotta pay someone. You gotta
- 49:45Speaker 2: pay some soldiers of fortune.
- 49:46Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you don't want to get like America's hire
- 49:49Speaker 1: that a team. Yeah, yeah, you gotta get fucking mister
- 49:51Speaker 1: t out there with some chains about that's not what
- 49:53Speaker 1: he did. My apologies. So Alexander Jones says he thinks
- 49:59Speaker 1: they were working at the past the British government, and
- 50:01Speaker 1: he admits that Simar was involved in the killing of
- 50:04Speaker 1: Doug Hamma. Schultz says he was giving pictures of the
- 50:06Speaker 1: crash scene that showed Keith Maxwell when two other men
- 50:09Speaker 1: in military fatigues. Pictures were used for recruitment purposes.
- 50:16Speaker 2: Hey, what do we do?
- 50:17Speaker 1: Kaboom there, that's what we do. We kill members of
- 50:20Speaker 1: the UN when they fuck with us. Do you want
- 50:22Speaker 1: to kill world leaders and give dads the black people
- 50:29Speaker 1: the nineties? Yeah?
- 50:31Speaker 2: Job fair?
- 50:32Speaker 1: Yes, Seimar Simar, Seimar Okay, day days. He says, the
- 50:37Speaker 1: Ace of Spades is a Cia Colli card, not just
- 50:39Speaker 1: a righteous song.
- 50:40Speaker 2: This quote, this quote, you do it, play it out.
- 50:45Speaker 2: He was killed because he was going to change the
- 50:48Speaker 2: way the rest of the world dealt with Africa financially.
- 50:53Speaker 2: I believe that whether the Keith Maxwell spreading AIDS thing
- 50:59Speaker 2: is true or not, which there's apparently some debate as
- 51:03Speaker 2: to whether that's a way you can spread AIDS, even
- 51:06Speaker 2: though I've always heard it's like one of two ways
- 51:09Speaker 2: I do it, that you can spread aids. I absolutely
- 51:14Speaker 2: believe that the United States and the British teamed up
- 51:20Speaker 2: to fucking kill this guy because they have we they
- 51:25Speaker 2: have so many financial interests in Africa, Like we weren't
- 51:30Speaker 2: going to give all that up. No, Like it's way
- 51:33Speaker 2: easier to just have the lone ranger shoot this guy
- 51:36Speaker 2: out of the sky. And we're like, it probably seems.
- 51:39Speaker 1: Like himself a lone ranger in a sense, wasn't he Dog?
- 51:43Speaker 2: Oh yeah, for sure. Like he's like, he's actually of
- 51:47Speaker 2: all of those political assassinations in the sixties, He's like,
- 51:51Speaker 2: he's the one that never gets mentioned because no one
- 51:54Speaker 2: sees it as an assassination.
- 51:56Speaker 1: But and he wasn't part of a group or a movement.
- 51:58Speaker 1: I mean, you could say if you who perhaps killed
- 52:00Speaker 1: somebody who was a leader, like a Caesar Shavez type,
- 52:04Speaker 1: but they were representing other people were working with them
- 52:07Speaker 1: towards the same goals. Dog was sort of he was
- 52:09Speaker 1: working with the UN but he was sort of a
- 52:11Speaker 1: lone figure and attempting to do what he wanted to
- 52:13Speaker 1: do and working really directly with these people were very
- 52:16Speaker 1: higher up in government, so they knew his temperament, you know,
- 52:20Speaker 1: one on one and he wasn't like he had a
- 52:22Speaker 1: guy who could step in and be him and do
- 52:24Speaker 1: what he was doing or had the same agenda. Right,
- 52:27Speaker 1: That wasn't gonna happen again in the un They weren't
- 52:29Speaker 1: going to put a dog commercial version two point zero
- 52:32Speaker 1: to take to take over from him and was going
- 52:34Speaker 1: to radically change, right.
- 52:36Speaker 2: Yeah, and that It probably seems like we gave a
- 52:39Speaker 2: lot of this documentary away, but there's there's a lot
- 52:41Speaker 2: more details.
- 52:43Speaker 1: So it's the style of it. It's a fantastic style.
- 52:46Speaker 1: It's thrilling, it's interesting, it's you know, the it's great
- 52:49Speaker 1: art direction, great production design. It's mysterious, it's the interviews
- 52:53Speaker 1: are great. The characters have to be seen to be believed.
- 52:56Speaker 1: They're odd.
- 52:57Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, and there's there are so many other crazy
- 53:01Speaker 2: details I should I feel. I'm happy we're doing this.
- 53:06Speaker 2: We tried to do this. We covered this documentary on
- 53:09Speaker 2: Pretty Scary but the film, the company that made it
- 53:14Speaker 2: actually reached out to me before this came out and
- 53:18Speaker 2: offered to send me a screener so I could cover
- 53:21Speaker 2: it before it came out. But it had so much
- 53:25Speaker 2: like copy protection on it that when me and my
- 53:31Speaker 2: co host were trying to watch it separately at the
- 53:34Speaker 2: same time, and I just sent her my link and
- 53:36Speaker 2: every time she would start it, mine would shut down,
- 53:39Speaker 2: and then I would reboot it, and then hers would
- 53:42Speaker 2: shut down. Oh okay, and we could never get through
- 53:44Speaker 2: the movie. Yeah, but fucking crazy, really wild. We killed
- 53:49Speaker 2: dog Hommer should like we fucking shot him out of
- 53:53Speaker 2: the sky.
- 53:54Speaker 1: Yeah, and sixteen, but only because.
- 53:55Speaker 2: The bomb didn't go off. We didn't mention that part.
- 53:58Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, but sixteen as well. Yeah, isn't that
- 54:01Speaker 1: funny to think about in life? You could, That's why.
- 54:04Speaker 1: So you always always if you're ever getting on a
- 54:05Speaker 1: plane with a very very very famous, are very very filigible,
- 54:08Speaker 1: maybe switch planes, I don't know, you know, you never
- 54:10Speaker 1: want to think I'm some bystanders so and so and
- 54:12Speaker 1: so getting killed.
- 54:13Speaker 2: Well that yeah, there's all the Malaysia Airlines conspiracies and
- 54:18Speaker 2: one of them it's not even a conspiracy. There were
- 54:21Speaker 2: all these weapons makers on that plane, and people are
- 54:25Speaker 2: like they kidnap that plane and get them weapons.
- 54:28Speaker 1: You know, you never know worth a look and good Anya,
- 54:33Speaker 1: you know Danish, it's the sweet It's a very Nordic
- 54:36Speaker 1: film in Africus. Yeah, yeah, it's it's culturally interesting. It's
- 54:40Speaker 1: not some psycho from the Midwest and you know who's
- 54:43Speaker 1: trying to prove that the Earth is flat. It's not
- 54:45Speaker 1: that right kind of conspiracy. It's not some guy with
- 54:48Speaker 1: questionable hair choices from Switzerland. Guys, no hair, no hair's
- 54:53Speaker 1: mess it up, all right, I'm glad. We I'm glad.
- 54:56Speaker 1: I watched. It's on Hulu.
- 54:57Speaker 2: Yeah, it's on Hulu. You can watch. It's called Cold
- 55:00Speaker 2: Case Hammer Should, and uh, it's really fucking good. I
- 55:03Speaker 2: think they make a compelling case me too, that the
- 55:07Speaker 2: dog hommer Should was murdered and maybe British intelligence spread
- 55:11Speaker 2: AIDS in Africa to keep white supremacy on the continent
- 55:15Speaker 2: in place.
- 55:15Speaker 1: Yeah, a bunch of like jerks and like speaking.
- 55:20Speaker 2: To that, like there's this thing where For the past
- 55:24Speaker 2: however many years, I think since Reagan, anytime there's been
- 55:28Speaker 2: a Republican in the White House, we have always put
- 55:32Speaker 2: a stipulation in place that if we are to send
- 55:36Speaker 2: aid money to Africa, those countries have to teach abstinence
- 55:43Speaker 2: only sex education. They can't promote the use of condoms.
- 55:47Speaker 2: They can't which why why, Like you can say it's because, oh,
- 55:53Speaker 2: we're religious. It's like, you want black people to get AIDS.
- 55:57Speaker 2: Sure that's what you want, for sure, definitely do. I
- 56:00Speaker 2: don't doubt that for a moment. So yeah, not a
- 56:03Speaker 2: fucking word of this sounds unbelievable to me. No, Like,
- 56:08Speaker 2: it all sounds very like. And even if they're like
- 56:11Speaker 2: there would have been no way to spread AIDS. That
- 56:14Speaker 2: way doesn't mean we didn't.
- 56:15Speaker 1: Try, like, and the fact that they tried is bad enough. Yeah,
- 56:20Speaker 1: under the guys of medicine.
- 56:22Speaker 2: Yeah, crazy, go watch it. It's a good documentary. Uh,
- 56:27Speaker 2: that's our episode. Do we have anything to plug before
- 56:30Speaker 2: we get out of here?
