Bases 45 Cara St Louis Part 1

  • Not Synced
    (Cara StLouis Farrelly) In fact, most people (check)
  • Not Synced
    And the way I've come to be
    sitting with you, Miles,
  • Not Synced
    goes back to --
    in fact, goes back my whole life --
  • Not Synced
    but specifically to July 2010, when I was
    living in the State of Maine in the US,
  • Not Synced
    Obviously, I am an American.
  • Not Synced
    And with my family --
    (Miles Johnston ) You're not Canadian?
  • Not Synced
    (Cara) I'm not Canadian, no: I am
    from the American Southwest, actually,
  • Not Synced
    which is really sort of germinal to
    my own personal history, but
  • Not Synced
    particularly there, I was living in
    seacoast Maine, in a little village
  • Not Synced
    and my mother had come
    to be near the grandchildren,
  • Not Synced
    because they were all growing up.
  • Not Synced
    And she'd been there for about a year
  • Not Synced
    and July 11 was a beautiful, sunny
    Sunday morning in Maine
  • Not Synced
    and she got up and she was walking
    to church, which was about
  • Not Synced
    a block and a half from her flat,
    from where she lived
  • Not Synced
    and she had just about reached
    the other side of the main street,
  • Not Synced
    which is, we call it the High Street,
    it's a very small town,
  • Not Synced
    when she was actually run over by a van,
    a minivan
  • Not Synced
    and thrown god knows how far, twenty or
    (no sound)
  • Not Synced
    point my mother was 74 years old,
  • Not Synced
    she was definitely, you know,
    in the latter moments of her life,
  • Not Synced
    her lifespan and anyway, just about
    every bone in her body was broken
  • Not Synced
    and she was conscious, believe it or not,
    taken to the hospital.
  • Not Synced
    I joined her there and she died
    in my arms a few hours later.
  • Not Synced
    So, one would have thought that
    that alone is just a tragedy
  • Not Synced
    and a horrific thing to have happen
    in your life, and of course it is.
  • Not Synced
    And, you know, one would have been --
  • Not Synced
    the normal, the natural thing
    would have been to --
  • Not Synced
    to just receive that as a crazy accident
    and that something meaningless
  • Not Synced
    ended someone's life, although
    I don't believe anything is an accident
  • Not Synced
    or meaningless, or without purpose, but --
    the reality is, as the months went by,
  • Not Synced
    I couldn't get any information
    about my mother's death,
  • Not Synced
    and that made no sense at all,
    because it was a small town,
  • Not Synced
    she was a little old lady
    who was crossing the street
  • Not Synced
    and she was run over and killed.
  • Not Synced
    And I was her sole survivor.
  • Not Synced
    I literally had to have an attorney write
    a letter to the local police authority
  • Not Synced
    invoking the Freedom Of Information Act
    to get even the smallest police report.
  • Not Synced
    It made no sense whatsoever.
  • Not Synced
    So this really started me thinking
    something that had been in my guts
  • Not Synced
    to begin with, with this death.
  • Not Synced
    And that was that, although my mother
    had started her life as a music teacher,
  • Not Synced
    she had, half way through, begun to work
    for the US government
  • Not Synced
    and specifically the military, first the
    Office of Information here in Nevada
  • Not Synced
    and then the US Navy.
  • Not Synced
    She worked for weapons entities
    in Dog Run (check) Virginia
  • Not Synced
    and then she was transferred to London,
  • Not Synced
    she got a position at the Office of
    Naval Research here in London,
  • Not Synced
    which is a very serious organization
    in terms of the Navy.
  • Not Synced
    People think the NSA is the top dog in (check)
    but it's not, it's the Navy.
  • Not Synced
    The Navy is very much --
    (Miles) the senior service
  • Not Synced
    (Cara) Senior, the senior spook service.
    (Miles) It's been around a lot longer.
  • Not Synced
    (Cara) You better believe it.
  • Not Synced
    That's where it all starts
    and that's where it all goes down,
  • Not Synced
    I mean, it trickles down from the Navy.
  • Not Synced
    She was the editor of something called
    the Fact Sheet for three years, 1989-1991.
  • Not Synced
    She had a .... (check)
    very high social security plan
  • Not Synced
    I mean she saw all (blank)
    in this office were.
  • Not Synced
    Eastern block scientists,
    some Western scientists
  • Not Synced
    Lots of operation paperclip scientists,
    OK, working on weapons,
  • Not Synced
    working on atmospheric weapons,
    electro-magnetics, psychology,
  • Not Synced
    scalar weapons, you better believe it,
    all of that stuff.
  • Not Synced
    Now, obviously my mother was not
    a scientist but she was also not --
  • Not Synced
    she was also a very intelligent woman;
  • Not Synced
    and so, even though she might not have
    understood everything
  • Not Synced
    that went across her desk, she certainly
    understood enough of it
  • Not Synced
    that the only thing she ever told me
    about what she saw was that
  • Not Synced
    a lot of it scared the hell out of her:
    that's all she could ever tell me.
  • Not Synced
    OK, so this was 89, 90 and 91.
  • Not Synced
    This is what I'm thinking and then,
    when she retired,
  • Not Synced
    she went back to Dog Run (check)
  • Not Synced
    after they eliminated that position
    in London
  • Not Synced
    and worked for a Surface Weapons there (check),
    for the Navy.
  • Not Synced
    And then she retired, at the age of 60,
    moved to Hawaii,
  • Not Synced
    and started working
    with independent contractors.
  • Not Synced
    And in Hawaii, that's a huge, huge, huge
    business, it is their primary business.
  • Not Synced
    Tourism is nothing compared to the
    government contracts business in Hawaii.
  • Not Synced
    Anyway, she was technical editor for
    several companies who were trying
  • Not Synced
    to get business with DARPA, another very,
    very very black entity in the United States.
  • Not Synced
    Their funding is endless, bottomless.
  • Not Synced
    So, I have to assume
    and always had to assume
  • Not Synced
    that my mother saw lots and lots
    and lots of things.
  • Not Synced
    So here was this little old lady who
    had been killed for seemingly no reason.
  • Not Synced
    Several other people had stopped
    and she was almost across the street
  • Not Synced
    and then boom, she was dead.
  • Not Synced
    So, you know this -- because I was trying
    to get over the actual event,
  • Not Synced
    because it really man-handled
    the entire town, this event,
  • Not Synced
    a lot of people saw it, I just kind of
    lived with it for a while, and then
  • Not Synced
    you know what happened, Miles?
  • Not Synced
    December 31st, 2010, John Wheeler
    was killed in DC -- do you remember that?
  • Not Synced
    (Miles) remind me
    (Cara) Well, he was the fellow
  • Not Synced
    who supposedly was responsible
    for getting the Vietnam War Memorial
  • Not Synced
    erected, but he was working as an
    independent contractor for the government,
  • Not Synced
    he was a liaison between the Pentagon
    and some really serious (blank).
  • Not Synced
    He was also an adviser, probably
    a security adviser, I'm trying to remember
  • Not Synced
    to three presidents, and they found
    the guy in a dumpster --
  • Not Synced
    do you remember this?
    (Miles) no but--
  • Not Synced
    (Cara) Well, they did, they found
    him in a dumpster
  • Not Synced
    (Miles) For the sake of argument (check)
    just tell it ....
  • Not Synced
    (Cara) Yes. December 31st they found
    this guy in a dumpster.
  • Not Synced
    He was a West Point graduate, I mean,
    his credentials were impeccable,
  • Not Synced
    most surely, he was working for Alphabet
    operations, so he is not --
  • Not Synced
    I mean, one would expect a man like him
  • Not Synced
    to be working for all kinds of people
    like that, but it was so random
  • Not Synced
    and so jarring that this had happened
    that it really reminded me of my mom.
  • Not Synced
    And it's not that I thought
    they knew each other,
  • Not Synced
    that's not what I mean at all, it's just
    that it took me back to this idea
  • Not Synced
    that civilians working for the military
    could just potentially be expendable, yes?
  • Not Synced
    OK, so I'm thinking about that
    on December 31st 2010
  • Not Synced
    and then the next day, January 1st 2011,
  • Not Synced
    is the day all the birds started falling
    from the sky in Arkansas.
  • Not Synced
    And the fish start-- well, God knows
    how long it was actually happening
  • Not Synced
    but this is when it came to our attention,
  • Not Synced
    tens of thousands of birds
    fell out of the sky the next day,
  • Not Synced
    the next day in Arkansas, and all
    the fish started washing up on the shores.
  • Not Synced
    Yes?
    (Miles) Which is happening now.
  • Not Synced
    (Cara) which has been happening daily,
    I mean, I've seen lists
  • Not Synced
    of what's still going on, it's incredible
    what's going on.
  • Not Synced
    So what that made me think of was myself.
  • Not Synced
    was electromagnetic weapons. Atmospheric weapons, you know?
  • Not Synced
    and when they tried to describe what happened to these birds there were no
  • Not Synced
    outside wounds. they were all internal organs having sort of burst.
  • Not Synced
    this is, i mean, this is a different form of weaponry. yeah?
  • Not Synced
    and and this brought me back to thinking, wondering, what my mother had scene.
  • Not Synced
    and if it was possible that she had, you know,
  • Not Synced
    it had been convenient to remove somebody, who by the way
  • Not Synced
    in that point in her life could not even remember her own
  • Not Synced
    social security number. She was, you know, however
  • Not Synced
    one of the people that I worked with, later on, about
  • Not Synced
    a year after I started writing the book, and when the book was published.
  • Not Synced
    I was trying to get some United States, some attention for it in the United States
  • Not Synced
    that would be the sun thief, was Gordon Duff
  • Not Synced
    And Duff's embroiled in his own stuff right now but
  • Not Synced
    at the time, which was almost two years ago
  • Not Synced
    I contacted him and asked him about the situation
  • Not Synced
    thinking he might be able
    to shed some light on it,
  • Not Synced
    you know?
  • Not Synced
    And the one thing he did say to me was
  • Not Synced
    "This happens more often than you can possibly imagine"
  • Not Synced
    civilians working for the government are expendable. (9:35)
