I've come across these incrediblecouple of interviews with Colonel Prouty where he reveals much more higher level information than he does in the video interviews above.
He discusses the cabal or shadow/secret government that has throughout history, worked above Prime Ministers and Presidents.
He's a very well educated and intelligent person. So rare in senior military types these days who only see reality through the paranoia prism of 'war is inevitable'.
This video of Alez Abella is a good introduction. He's unusual because most people who are clever can't see the wood for the trees, but he gets the bigger picture. If you don't have time to review the video, here's a good article he wrote about RAND.
