Dive deep into one of the most shadowy chapters of post-WWII history in this eye-opening episode of The Turning: Down the Rabbit Hole. Retired U.S. Air Force Colonel Roxane Towner-Watkins joins host Cody Bakewell to share her remarkable 30-year military journey—from enlisting as one of the first women in aircraft maintenance to high-level roles at the Pentagon and CENTCOM—and her “red pill” awakening to hidden global power structures.The focus: Operation Gladio, NATO’s clandestine stay-behind networks created after World War II to counter potential Soviet invasions. Colonel Towner-Watkins unpacks how these secret armies, armed and funded by the CIA and Western intelligence, allegedly evolved into tools for the “strategy of tension”—orchestrating false flags, domestic terrorism, and political manipulation in Europe and beyond to suppress leftist movements, fund both communism and fascism, and maintain control.We explore:•  Historical connections: Ratlines, CIA ops outside U.S. government oversight, international syndicates, and funding of extremism.•  Modern implications: The “deep state,” cultural control tactics, government complicity in movements like Antifa (with Minnesota as a key hub), challenges for grassroots activism and conservative outreach to younger voters, the influence of big-money donors on factions like the Trump movement, and why nations like Russia and China have resisted Western destabilization efforts.•  Key concepts: Chaos as a tool for control, the evolution of military/intelligence operations, and the uncertain future of global power dynamics.Sound bites that hit hard:•  “They name things very Orwellian.”•  “The CIA infiltrated Tibet.”•  “You don’t have to be a parent.” (on broader societal control)This is essential listening for anyone interested in military history, international politics, CIA operations, Cold War secrets, NATO, deep state structures, political activism, global power dynamics, and historical research.If you enjoy the content and want to help keep it coming (and keep me home with my family), check out: 🎯 Patreon: Exclusive perks, early access, and direct support starting at just $3/monthhttps://www.patreon.com/roadsandrabbitholes👕 Merch: Road Crew tees, hoodies, and more via Printifyhttps://roads-and-rabbit-hole.printify.me/Thanks for listening, commenting, and being part of the crew.

In this gripping episode of Turning Down the Rabbit Hole, hosts Cody Bakewell, Collin Klein, and Corey Zimmerman peel back the layers of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s 38-year reign at NIAID, from AIDS-era drug rushes to COVID mandates that reshaped the world. We unpack the media’s role in saint-or-sinner spin, ethical minefields in vaccine pipelines, and how PCR testing amplified the panic (or was it engineered?). Personal stories reveal the raw sting of lockdowns on families and finances—think real estate crashes, civil unrest sparks, and a “new normal” that lined pharma pockets while eroding trust. Drawing historical parallels (AIDS activism to anti-mandate rallies), the crew questions science’s gatekeepers: Was Fauci a crisis captain or a cog in the profit machine? We wrap with bold calls for transparency—because the next pandemic’s already brewing, and blind faith isn’t the cure.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Dr. Anthony Fauci03:18 Fauci's Early Career and Controversies03:27 Ethics of Medical Testing and Public Trust10:48 Media Influence and Public Perception14:21 Pandemic Business Models and Vaccine Economics17:45 Historical Context of Pandemics22:33 Gain of Function Research and Its Implications24:16 The Origins of Viral Research and Pandemics26:57 Historical Context of Virus Outbreaks28:10 The Role of Government in Virus Research31:00 The Impact of COVID-19 and Public Response35:50 Personal Experiences During the Pandemic39:14 The Vaccine Controversy and Its Implications40:28 Geopolitical Implications of Virus Research44:52 The Historical Context of Global Power Dynamics55:12 Impact of COVID-19 on Local Businesses58:02 Investment Timing and Economic Insights01:00:26 Community Resistance and Local Governance01:03:08 The Role of Law Enforcement During Protests01:05:46 PCR Testing and Its Implications01:10:19 The Controversy Surrounding COVID-19 Testing01:13:03 The Nature of Medical Science and Diagnostics01:25:15 Political Ramifications and Public Trust01:29:23 The Origins of HIV and Controversial Vaccines01:30:43 The Failures of Anthony Fauci01:31:16 Media Control and Global Synchronization01:33:12 The Puppet Masters Behind the Scenes01:34:28 Conspiracy Theories and Historical Context01:36:42 The Good vs. Bad Dichotomy in Society01:38:31 The Dodo Bird Analogy and Modern Society01:39:36 Learning from History: The Russian Example01:40:41 The Nature of Modern Conflict01:42:23 The Role of Ideology in Modern Warfare01:44:24 The Influence of Cartels and Corruption01:47:02 The Bigger Picture: Spiritual Warfare01:48:33 Fear as a Tool for Control

In this gripping installment of Turning Down the Rabbit Hole, Cody Bakewell teams up with Corey Zimmerman and Collin Klein to unravel the tangled web of Venezuela’s crisis. From the nation’s vast oil reserves crippled by socialist mismanagement and heavy crude extraction woes, to its emergence as a shadowy hub for international intrigue—think CIA-backed regime plays, Russian and Chinese power grabs, and ports pulsing with cartel-fueled underworld ops (nodding to the infamous “Devil’s Legions”). The trio dissects U.S. historical meddling via the Monroe Doctrine, parallels to Ukraine as a proxy battleground, and the chaotic ripple effects: mass migration strains, cultural clashes, mob-like governance, media as a weapon of division, and a “civil war of consciousness” tearing at society’s fabric. They wrap with hard-hitting reflections on faith-fueled resilience, community-driven action, and crypto’s wild role in dodging crumbling financial empires.
