All right, joining us now is Susan Bradford, her book, The Saudi Swindle, how the deception surrounding the Saudi oil or surrounding Saudi oil gave rise to the green new steel the looting of nations and a global lockdown thank you for joining us Susan it's um it's going to be interesting to talk about this it's a really important subject it is thank you so much
Starting point is 00:01:17 for having me thank you yeah as you said uh you know what went wrong with the petrodollar that is now uh you know coming apart at the seams everywhere uh what went wrong with the petrodollar that is now coming apart at the seams everywhere? What went wrong with it, or was it always wrong? In my opinion, it was always wrong because it was geared at providing a basis for which the federal fiat dollar could spend endlessly developing the world. And the USAID was created by an executive order through President John F. Kennedy. And from that point on, where we were really on the hook to develop over a hundred nations around the world.
Starting point is 00:01:54 And the only way that was possible was with the petrodollar. And so what the petrodollar did is this was a means in which we had a cheap oil that was available and an infinite amount because of how vast the oil wells were. And then they connected the petrodollar to the World Bank. So it became the World Bank Development Partner. Around the same time, they also established a Saudi sovereign fund, and that was a way for them to accumulate assets.
Starting point is 00:02:26 So this was really about the financial interest around the city of London to use the wealth of the American people to develop the world while leaving us holding the debt. And so in terms of what went wrong, in the 1970s the Saudis decided to nationalize their oil fields. So on their way out, the Rockefellers, who had been granted the concession, overproduced the oil fields. They wanted to get as much oil as they possibly could before they were shut out. And so what happened is that through that overproduction, they damaged the fields. And so from that point onward, the petrodollar was on borrowed time and they had to figure out, okay, we don't want to tell people that we've damaged these wells, but we still have this petrodollar link that is crucial to the
Starting point is 00:03:16 development of the world. Yeah. And of course, to the development of the American empire and the military stuff, because the weapons were a big part of that as well. And as you point out, it's to leave us with a debt. You know, a lot of people made a lot of money out of this and the American government got a lot of political clout and power out of it, but we're left with a debt. They gave Americans essentially a credit card without limits. And now we're about to get that called and we're going to have to pay back this unpayable amount of money that we borrowed. I would argue that we probably don't owe that money. I mean, you know, we can show how the Federal Reserve was created under kind of it was unconstitutional and was not it was created during a a um when the congress was not even a
Starting point is 00:04:06 quorum so you know there's some kind of legality issues there uh but i think you know we are being colonized and they want us to believe that we hold this debt even though we probably don't but yes you're right that they this is something where they've tried to obligate us to yeah that's right yeah it's uh every year i play i did the first one i did was on the 100th anniversary of the creation of the federal reserve i call it it's a wonderful lie because it's christmas time and so you know this is something that they foisted upon us uh they've used this as a tool for power for to enrich themselves and uh and the whole thing is fraudulent problem is is that we've got american politicians who are fraudulent who installed it and american politicians who have supported it all along and they will probably
Starting point is 00:04:48 still uh support at the point of a bayonet uh are paying back this uh fraudulent debt this is probably what's going to happen with all this stuff but um when you talk about the uh the green new deal the green new steel is the way you put it and and it is. It's kind of interesting, isn't it, to see that the Saudis have jumped in in a big way on green stuff as well, even though they are supplying the oil. Tell us a little bit about that angle of it. Yes. So they know that they don't really have the oil reserves to establish, to develop the world. And so they are trying to diversify their economy and this came about in the late 1990s where they had the the energy
Starting point is 00:05:32 initiative where they brought all the oil companies back to saudi arabia uh to develop um new strategies for how how they were going to do this so this you know there's part of the you know this element happened during the bush administration but during uh obama uh this kind of agenda really got underway um they had a decided in um 1997 with the kyoto accord so that it was universally agreed upon there was a scientific consensus uh about global warming that they had to address. And so the way that you would address that is by, you know, you'd have to curtail the use of gas. And so Obama started this with the clash for cash for clunkers and this big boondoggle where they were,
Starting point is 00:06:14 they were just spending money right left and center to any project that could, you know, provide some type of sustainable development. But in the process, I think that they unleashed unlimited spending, which in turn enriched these same interests who then began to buy up assets. There was very little accountability for how that money was spent. I refer to them as MacGuffins because it doesn't matter what the excuse is. It's like Hitchcock's thing. It doesn't matter what they're chasing, but they've got an end goal, and that is to take everything from us our transportation
Starting point is 00:06:46 uh everything and so it dovetails nicely and with that uh what about um the this the connection that uh saudi arabia is making with the bricks and especially their project rialto this you know cbdc they're trying to put out. So you've got the Bank of International Settlements, and you've got the Saudis and BRICS, and all these people coming together to create a completely new financial system. Where do you see that leading? I know it's been played up in the alt-media as, oh, this is the end of Western civilization, and the United States, a dollar is doomed. I don't think that's true um bricks was launched in 2001 by jim o'neill who was of course banker city of london uh he was
Starting point is 00:07:32 a in charge of the global economic development for goldman sachs in london and so he developed bricks because um you know the petrodollar was on the way out and they needed money to develop the third world countries, you know, that hadn't been developed yet. So this was a way for them to kind of work out a new strategy. And they have even like a new development bank that is set to replace the World Bank. And they're trying to kind of consolidate their resources. So you have a Russian sovereign fund, a Saudi sovereign fund. They're kind of investing in each other. And I think according to even Jim O'Neill, he said, you know, these countries don't agree with each other. There's no chance that they're going to establish a central bank. And he said that it's, you know,
Starting point is 00:08:19 it's really just a way for them to kind of develop the world. And the dollar is used through financial transactions all over the world. And the dollar is used through financial transactions all over the world. I don't think that's going to become obsolete anytime soon. You know, we're disconnected from the petrodollar, but still the most widely used transaction. And within America itself, I don't see us using the ruble or the yuan or any of these other things. So it's really about helping to develop the third world, which hasn't been completely developed yet. And they're often at loggerheads and working against each other. So it's not really a true alliance.
Starting point is 00:08:53 What do you think in terms of, as you point out, as a Goldman Sachs banker who kicked off the BRICS thing, we have a lot of this cooperation with these different nations that might be against each other, like Russia and China and everything, they're being driven into a kind of an alliance based on the sanctions and things like that under the Biden administration. And since we have the Bank of International Settlements and since they put in a CBDC, is there a possibility in your mind that perhaps they are trying to create pressure for a cbdc that's out there you know many times we'll have a situation where well you know if we don't do it the other people are doing it you know whether you're talking about autonomous killer robots or you're talking about nuclear weapons or you're talking about bio biological warfare well the
Starting point is 00:09:41 other people are doing it we gotta you know we got a gap here we got to catch up you know we got a we got a nuclear weapons gap or whatever uh you think maybe that this is something that's going to be used to prod people towards a global cbdc because we got to do it because they're doing it what do you think i i think i think they certainly would like to i know that the major central banks are looking into a CBDC. I know that during the lockdowns, Jared Kushner was trying to push a digital dollar and universal basic income. So I think they definitely want to go in that direction. I think there is a legitimacy problem that they're having that's increasingly becoming wider known. And they wanted to have one of their money laundering hubs as really being themselves, but they're the ones
Starting point is 00:10:25 who are involved in money laundering. And, you know, I think if they could, they would definitely like to implement one. In your book, you link this to the Saudi petrodollar. You link it not just to the green stuff, but also to the green scam. You also link it to 9-11, to the drive towards ai tell us about those connections as you see them sure okay so with uh with 9-11 um we have like the kyoto uh protocols um and uh the um preceding the the gas initiative um and uh what what was the uh and also the peanut the project for new american century where the agenda was to go into these foreign countries and do what? To claim their oil.
Starting point is 00:11:10 There was a preemptively strike. There was this desperation. So 9-11 provided a pretext for the United States to go into Iraq. And what did it do? It grabbed the oil for israel um they immediately uh captured the um the oil like i think it was from uh haifa uh well it was one of one of the main oil lines that they created they seized for for israel and then you can also see these different saudi connections so for example you know you mentioned um the uh the arms trafficking one of the key actors in the arms trafficking was adnan
Starting point is 00:11:45 kashogi um who partnered with unlucky martin deals with um prince bernard who founded the builder burgers also with prince philip um who works you know he's with the crown um and is a partner of jacob rothschild so this was part of a vast money laundering scheme um Adnan Khashoggi financed the 9-11 truth movement, which I thought was very interesting. The lies that were led us into Iraq from Ahmad Chalabi and the Iraqi National Congress were pushed by BKSH, which was acquired by Burstyn Marstetler, which now owns, is the agent here for SAVEC. And SAABIC is the Saudi company that is trying to establish a global monopoly on agriculture. And Adnan Khashoggi, incidentally, was, he was, he cut his arms deals at the Ritz-Carlton in Paris that was owned by Mohamed El-Fayed, the father of Dodi. And it was there that they were in connection.
Starting point is 00:12:49 Let me point out that Dodi was the boyfriend of Princess Diana, right? And his father owned Harrods in the UK and many other things like that. So, yeah, these are connected was kashobi kashogi was he uh related in any way to the guy that got chopped up by the saudis yes he was i think they made an arms deal with him too they got an arms deal with him as well right i don't know i'm sorry yes i did okay i sorry. I didn't, I interrupted your train of thought. You were talking about all these different connections with the Saudis. Continue on with that. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:13:30 That's okay. It's a good detour. Yes. So, Mohammed Al-Fayed and Khashoggi also knew the father of Mohammed Atta, who was one of the hijackers in 9-11. And just fairly recently, I don't know if you've seen this, but I think 60 Minutes came out with some video that showed the Saudis actually filming the monuments before the actual attacks and saying, this is part of our plan. So there is this kind of Saudi element. Most of the hijackers were Saudis. I don't think this was a Saudi attack against the country. I think this was done in my
Starting point is 00:14:06 own, like the circumstantial evidence would lead me to believe this was done by the crime syndicate from the city of London. They wanted to create a paradigm shift, you know, for this new economy that they were trying to build. And that started with, we need something that will allow us to launch preemptive strikes against the United States, against foreign countries so we can get access to oil. Would you say the CIA is part of that crime syndicate since they had Tim Osmond coming into the CIA all the time? And would you see it as an inside job or you think it was an outside job and just different suspects?
Starting point is 00:14:41 Well, they say that some of the lot, the lot the lot is that tim osmond is that who the cia right yeah he was um he was also heavily invested in the carlisle group carlisle group grew out of um you know it grew out of the nixon administration um but donald rumsfeld uh who which you know in that administration launched the petrodollar um so he was involved with the carlisle group the carlisle group you have the bushes who are who are part of this um and of course uh he was part of the cia and the cia was working hand in hand with you know the financial interest intelligence for the city of london so you're looking at like these different elements kind of coming together trying to figure out okay we're all in this together to make as much money
Starting point is 00:15:29 as possible you know to you know their agenda was to establish a global global monopoly on wealth power and commerce so they're kind of working with each other to that end and i believe that yes the cia was probably involved especially since they are naming naming Osama bin Laden, who was, in fact, a CIA asset. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's this London Langley axis that is always there. And it is just as you're going through all these different connections to all these known figures and everything, it truly is amazing when you start to do research, just what a tangled and evil web this all is. It truly is amazing when you start, you know, the kind of research that you've done in terms of connecting all these
Starting point is 00:16:14 different things. It's such an amazing network of corruption and crime, isn't it? It really is. And my hope is that by bringing light to this that we can maybe put a pause on the agenda that they're trying to advance because i think that they have done so many horrific activities that at least provide um some grounds for potential litigation or at least some exploration that can um you know reveal their their agenda against the united states and maybe some crimes that they've committed against us i think that's really key you know when you when you see where these people are
Starting point is 00:16:48 headed uh then things start to fall into place and where you see how they have colluded in the past things start to fall into place as well and it is always the usual suspects isn't it it is and the key thing is for kaiser says they to make sure that we don't think he exists. So your kind of research is incredibly important. The Saudi Swindle is the name of the book. And tell people where they can get it. It's available right now on Kindle. Is that correct?
Starting point is 00:17:17 And are there other formats coming? Where's the best place to get it? Yes, it's on Amazon through Kindle. They can also get it through some print and paperback form as well. They can connect to it through my website, which is SusanBradford.org. SusanBradford.org. Okay. I'm going to put that in and we'll have that in the description for the video. And it sounds like a fascinating book. You've done a lot of research on this. And I think anybody who wants to know what is behind this, we've seen the fraud of the petrodollar and and how the federal reserve has been using this and and you know all of these different governments have put
Starting point is 00:17:50 this through but it's important to go back and take a look at the individual connections of all this as well as the state actors involved in all of it it truly is an amazing web of deception and fraud and crime. Thank you so much for the research that you do, Susan. Again, you can find all this stuff at SusanBradford.org. You can find links to the actual book, to the Kindle, and all these other things. You'll have all that stuff there at SusanBradford.org, right? That's right.
Starting point is 00:18:20 And also, I don't know if you, I'm not sure how much time you have, but would you like to go into any of the pandemic aspects? Oh, yeah, let's do that. We've got some time. I've got another, there's some stuff that I want to get into, but yeah, we can go into the pandemic stuff. Let's do that. What are the connections of the petrodollar to the pandemic as you see it? Okay, I wasn't sure if you were wrapping up or not.
Starting point is 00:18:38 Well, I was starting to, but that's fine. We can take some more time. I would like to know what you see as a connection to the pandemic. Okay. So one of the chief researchers who provided the expose on peak oil, as it was called, is Matthew Simmons. And the recommendations that he provided, and he was an advisor to the Bush administration on what they needed to do to respond to peak oil. It was to down the plains. It was that we need to work from home and commuting. We need to have our food sources work closer to home and so forth. So the very recommendations that he made were identical to those that were implemented during the global
Starting point is 00:19:18 lockdown. And we're talking about the same group of players. They're trying to establish a new normal and in fact larry summers who was both connected to epstein at harvard and uh and who uh was an economist for the world bank had actually uh promoted permanent lockdowns as the new normal so we're going back to the same issue of peak oil and the fraud or the swindle surrounding the petrodollar, Saudi petrodollar. Well, that's interesting. You know, I've talked about how the end result, whether they say that the planet is going to freeze or whether it's going to burn up, the end result was always the same.
Starting point is 00:19:56 And then when we get the pandemic, the end result is the same. And then with the petromaguffin, the end is always the same. Got to lock down everybody and make sure they don't go anywhere. I think that's a real tip. And when you talk about peak oil, that is something that the CIA was pushing out there. That we had peak oil. And I remember when, and I've
Starting point is 00:20:16 got the magazines here. As a matter of fact, let me grab it. This is back in 1979. Newsweek, the energy crisis. They were telling people that we're going to be completely out of oil. This is Time magazine. So Time and Newsweek telling everybody we're going to be completely out of oil
Starting point is 00:20:34 with the energy crisis by the mid-1980s. And so that was part of the peak oil, and that was a narrative that was pushed by the CIA, and yet we just keep finding more oil. It's amazing. I guess there's more dinosaurs dying all the time but uh it's it's amazing how the peak oil thing has not hit so they had to go to different types of justifications but again it's the same end result we got to take everything from you we can lock you down and we keep seeing that come back you see peak oil as being something heavily involved with by the CIA being sold by them.
Starting point is 00:21:07 I know that Seymour Hersh had reported on it and the Saudi Armico executives acknowledged that they had overproduced the wells. I think we are finding oil around the world. I think fracking was part of that, too. We also have Prudhoe Bay in Alaska. But I think that the main issue with saudi arabia is that that was a key development partner of the world bank and so they needed to happen to link the two in terms of acquiring the assets that they needed to buy up the world this is like part of the supply chains that they were using yeah that's important i've got a question here from a
Starting point is 00:21:42 listener uh wants to know if your book is available on audible yet uh that it is not but i can definitely look into that okay and make sure that it is yeah a lot of people listen to audiobooks as they're driving that's a very important thing there uh another comment here alaska has more oil than we would ever need oil is not made from dead bones this has always been a lie i agree with that i think that it is um that it is something else we we seem to like i said not run out of dinosaurs and this always surprise it always raises a lot of suspicion when it becomes uh a narrative that is really heavily pushed by the cia that's uh i immediately think that it's a lie if they're talking about something it's just where i am in my cynicism now at this
Starting point is 00:22:25 point bear in mind we're not talking about um not having enough oil we're talking about having the world bank control that oil and the world bank um sets the global price of oil so if they're partnered with the world with the saudis they want to make sure the saudis are linked into it that's why they need to access other other other the world. That's right. And, of course, you know, they can create fake shortages as well because it's about having access to the oil can be there. But, you know, if they make you keep it in the ground, there's really not much that you can do about it at that point in time. And one more here. Just abolish the Fed, Federal Reserve and arrest all involved for fraud and usury and debasing the currency. I would love to do that.
Starting point is 00:23:04 I have dreams about that sometimes, but I don't know that that's going to happen it's such a widespread thing and your book you you know as you look at this and you talk about all these different people involved it's such a mass of all this stuff and it is all about money isn't it it always comes back yesterday and power yeah money and. And that's how they get their power, through their money. If they can just print money at will, they have unlimited amounts of it. And, of course, I think the energy is, the power that energy gives them is really underestimated by a lot of people. I always have to catch myself. I always want to say misunderstand.
Starting point is 00:23:43 I've joked about that so many times from George W. Bush. I've got to, wait a minute. I don't want to repeat that. It's become a vocabulary word with me now because I've joked about it so much.
Starting point is 00:23:53 But people don't really understand how important energy is, how fundamentally important that is. And of course, you know, as we saw with the petrodollar,
Starting point is 00:24:03 they just kind of financialized that. And so they joined those two things there. But it's still there in so many different ways, as you point out in your book. The book is The Saudi Swindle, How the Deception Surrounding Saudi Oil Gave Rise to the Green New Steel, The Looting of Nations, and a Global Lockdown. You can find it in Kindle. You can find it in print. And you can find it at SusanBradford.org.
