Welcome to Gorilla Radio, recorded January 7th, 2023. It's been almost thirty-one years since UNPROFOR, the UN Protection Forces' mission to the Former Yugoslavia. Canada's military, then famed for peacekeeping, played a role in standing between the warring parties in hopes of a brokered truce. That mission failed, but not for the reasons believed then. In fact, according to records recently declassified, little about the conflict that led to the destruction of thousands of lives and ultimately redrew the political map of the Balkans occurred either why or how we were told. Tom Secker is a UK-based private researcher, journalist, and frequently featured commentator on security and intelligence issues. He's the host of the podcast, ClandesTime, principal behind Spyculture.com, “the world's premier online archive about government involvement in the entertainment industry”, and author, with Matthew Alford, of the book, 'National Security Cinema: The Shocking New Evidence of Government Control in Hollywood'. Tom recently collaborated with Kit Klarenberg of the Grayzone on the article, 'Declassified Intelligence Files Expose Inconvenient Truths of Bosnian War'. Tom Secker in the first half. And, though it may be difficult to imagine now, back in the day people came out en masse to give voice to the notion of a World without war. They marched and sang, colourfully costumed and carrying clever signs, while massive puppets, designed to attract the attention of a media more normalized to war footage, danced along the boulevards and in the High Street. They were then called "The Left", now they're simply known as departed. David Rovics' frequent essays on political issues and societal observation are featured at CounterPunch and Dissident Voice.org among other places. He's a broadcaster, musician, blogger, and author of the novel, ‘A Busker's Adventures'. His weekly program, This Week with David Rovics can be found through his website, DavidRovics.com - and on Substack - where you can read his essays, listen to his hundreds of original songs, and catch some of his hundreds of interviews. His recent article, 'An Autopsy on the US Left' verifies what many of us have known but may not have admitted, the fact that "that parrot is dead!" David Rovics and 'An Autopsy on the US Left in the second half. But first, Tom Secker and "CIA black ops, illegal weapon shipments, imported jihadist fighters, potential false flags, and stage-managed atrocities" revealed in Canada's declassified Yugoslavia cables. Song: At the End of World War III Artist: Chet Gardiner David sez: "If you've never heard of a musician named Chet Gardiner, here's a fine introduction. This is his solo acoustic version of a song I wrote a few months ago, which he recorded at his home studio in Hawaii. "Both the bassy resonance of Chet's voice and his delivery reminds me very much of the last recordings Johnny Cash made, which I think were brilliant. Chet's fingerstyle DADGAD guitar playing is so evocative as well."   Chris Cook hosts Gorilla Radio, broad/webcasting since 1999.

Author and podcaster Tom Secker, host of the ClandesTime podcast and writer / publisher of Spyculture.com, joins us to discuss the 2005 Tom Cruise movie, War Of The Worlds, which is based on the famous H.G. Wells novel.  Both its development and release during the early days of the War on Terror and the war in Iraq give it that “Could this be terrorists…again?!!” facade, while the military units seem more interested in crowd control than fighting the aliens.  Lastly, it's undeniably a Steven Spielberg movie through and through; be prepared to root for a hero who does almost nothing heroic.

Jon and Matt were joined by Tom Secker to speak about an aspect of imperialism that often flies under the radar, while being essential to the functioning of the empire. This episode focuses on the propaganda spread though movies and television shows that is crucial for the expansion of the warfare state. Films and shows may seem benign but often serve to manufacture societal consent and tolerance for imperial violence. Tom is an expert on the perverse influence that the US national security state has over popular entertainment. He is the author of National Security Cinema: The Shocking New Evidence of Government Control in Hollywood, and the host of Clandestime podcast. He has a new documentary coming out, Theatres of Command. All of Tom's work can be found at Spyculture.com Discussed in this Episode: - Tom's background and interest in propaganda - The various ways and scale that the Pentagon and CIA influence movie and television production (hint.. it's not about money!) - The unexpected genres that there is still a Pentagon presence; IE in the script of Pitch Perfect 3 - The tragically comical cases of Jurassic Park 3, Contact, and other strange cases of Pentagon messaging in films - The consequences producers face for not accepting Pentagon/CIA assistance - The measurable extreme success of nat. sec. propaganda through films/shows. - How to enjoy movies and shows without falling victim to imperial propaganda Our Work: Read our "In the Context of Empire" blog with corresponding and expanded posts to this content!

Popular in alt-media circles, though seldom explicitly stated as an argument, the False-Flag Exercise Hypothesis promotes the idea that the coincidence of official training exercises or drills with major terror attacks somehow proves—or at least heavily suggests—that these events are instances of state-sponsored false-flag terrorism. But exactly how is this argument supposed to go? To discuss the question we welcome back Tom Secker of SpyCulture.com, writer, researcher, fim-maker and creator of the excellent podcast ClandesTime, who guides us through the idea's history in military deception techniques, considers its role as a popular—but, in his view, largely mistaken—conspiracy theory and assesses the extent to which it has been encouraged through state-sponsored mass entertainment. Subjects include: The Bay of Pigs, Operation Northwoods, Operation Gladio, The Russian Apartment Bombings, 9/11, 7/7 and The Boston Bombings. (For show notes please visit http://themindrenewed.com)

From Tom Secker's site, SpyCulture.com: "Jay Dyer joins us for this episode where we analyse the 2009 comedy The Men Who Stare at Goats, loosely based on Jon Ronson’s book of the same name. It tells the story of a journalist who is inducted into the world of psychic soldiers during the Iraq war. The movie goes on to explain some of the history behind the First Earth Battalion, an experimental Pentagon unit devoted to developing a new generation of super soldier informed by the hippy and New Age movements. We examine what the film leaves out, especially in the form of MKULTRA and similar CIA projects and experiments with similar aims, and ask whether the purpose was not to explore ‘How could love and peace help win wars?‘ but to weaponise New Age philosophy and the New Age movement.The Men Who Stare at Goats is the final movie in the George Clooney/Grant Heslov series before they took the full plunge and made Argo with the help of the CIA. We look at whether Goats – Heslov’s directorial debut – was the final step in their long-term overture to the CIA. The fact that Goats reduces the CIA’s involvement in such projects to a single scene, and was distributed by none other than Overture Films are strong hints towards this. We also map out the evidence and implications of state sponsorship of the entire Goats project, from Ronson’s original book and documentary series through to the Hollywood version. The use of technical advisors who were part of these Pentagon units back in the 70s/80s and who were ‘reactivated’ to help fight the War on Terror implies that at least the DOD, if not the CIA, were in favour of this film. We round off by pondering the plausibility of the remote viewing phenomenon."http://www.jaysanalysis.com http://www.spyculture.com/

Remember what the world used to be like - before 2013 - when all our electronic communications were being scooped up by intelligence agencies and stored in massive data silos? Well now, thanks to Edward Snowden.... well, what? This week we welcome back to the programme writer, researcher and fim-maker Tom Secker of SpyCulture.com, InvestigatingTheTerror.com and the fascinating podcast ClandesTime, who joins us for an in-depth and entertaining discussion on his controversial, yet intriguing, take on the whole Edward Snowden phenomenon. Is Snowden everything he seems to be? Were his NSA "revelations" really as significant as has almost universally been claimed? Or are there reasons to suspect that this might have been all officially sanctioned: an elaborate limited hangout for the purposes of normalisation and control?
