Not crazy, but something interesting at least. Maybe dig up the entire story. So here is the gist of it, India was developing nukes, and America wasn't happy and put the CIA on it. They used satellites to monitor places of interest. However, India successfully detonated the nuke, leaving the CIA operatives stumped. What India had done was something simple. They only carried out activities at night and kept an eye out for American satellites. As they would reach near the site in their orbit, everything was hidden and turned down to avoid detection. Yes, even the trucks had heavy almost tent-like fabric, that was hung from the back, which helped remove the tracks of tires and people off the sand. This was done to avoid any espionage or incident. India successfully tested the nuke once the satellites had moved away.

My ESP abilities tell me that all these things are bad ideas. Oh wait, maybe this is just good old common sense!

How is no one talking about the hilarious voice cracks

[@MrEnjoivolcom1]

Operations Northwoods sounds a lot like 9/11.

[@Drewsapher]

Ooo I hope he talks about Guatemala in this

I think it's di-ethyl-amide, not die-thyla-mide. Not that I'd know anything about it...

[@pakde8002]

Comments about pronunciation are usually deleted. 😅 By order of the great and omnipotent Whistler

[@EhEhEhEINSTEIN]

@@pakde8002 I get it but at the same time, if you're making knowledge-based videos, it would be better to sound knowledgeable. Fwiw(Simon, if you read this), I wasn't trying to be a dick about it. Was hoping it would come off as a joke about "how little I know about lsd ;)"

Not to mention dumping crack cocaine into the streets of inner city Los Angeles, followed by the Reagan drug war.

Fun fact lysergic acid diethelamyde (lsd) is destroyed when stored at a temp above 190 and below freezing. Ie it would do anything to lace a cigar other than lacing to tip you put I your mouth but still a weird one 😂 they just had allotta lsd at the time

[@lukemarlowe6592]

Theyve obviously stopped doing these kinds of things and are the good guys now!

900 attempts, despite what you think if the gent, you have to respect his ability to survive.

"With most of the key players in the story being long dead by this time, nothing ever came of that anger." Which is why if you tell the people still engaging in this behavior today that they're on the wrong side of history, they don't care. LOL They know they won't be around to face consequences. The past was the worst... as far as we know at this moment.

[@syntaxerror9994]

Hi-gem-n-ee I swear Simon does that on purpose!

[@derekhenson3471]

When you are paid to research something that you realize is hot garbage but you need to come up with reasons to continue the research, you will always find away; even for 23 years!

TheShawnRyan Show just released an episode that’s very interesting about the star gate project

[@skyden24195]

Who was/is running the CIA? Wile E. Coyote?
