Many regard Kim as Kipling's masterpiece, and while he began it in America, he completed it later; it features evocative descriptions of India and sympathetic writing about its people, despite Kipling's reactionary political views. The story follows Kimball O'Hara and a Tibetan lama on a pilgrimage.

After the Jungle Book comes Kim, which many people regard as his masterpiece. He doesn't finish it in America, but he does begin it.

It is Kipling's masterpiece, enduring masterpiece of literature. It's not a story, it's his attempt at a full-scale novel.

He sat in defiance of municipal orders astride the gun Zamzama on her brick platform, opposite the old Ajaybgar, the Wonder House, as the natives call the Lahore Museum, who holds the Zamzama, the far-breathing dragon holds the Punjab, for the great green bronze piece is always the first of the conqueror's loot.

Stuff They Don't Want You To Know

It was mentioned as a book that Ben enjoyed, and was related to the Great Game, about the historical competition between various Western powers in Eurasia.

It was mentioned as a book that Ben enjoyed, and was related to the Great Game, about the historical competition between various Western powers in Eurasia.

"

it's strange that this continues today you can also read a book called "The Grand Chessboard" by a guy named Brzezinski, which I cannot believe I pronounced correctly. Fascinating dude and book yeah yeah and what this means is that these destabilization efforts could be plausible you know it's and there has to be something there because why was stuff retroactively classified right apparently a lot of the stuff that Edmunds originally brought up about this alleged Gladio B was public record technically because it was in the congressional record the biggest thing for me then after researching this is how is if that is true that stuff that information is true how is she still alive man and I don't mean to be to blunder scare you know scary about it just seems that that information if true is so explosive yeah it's I can't even fathom if that stuff was just known right yeah that's the question but then another question would be well would would the death of someone who revealed this information be just more confirmation you know what I mean I mean that it's just scary because people have been dying mysteriously for a long time now we're connected to things like this sure and it's yeah it's really creepy man and I don't understand like she she's still writing a lot and well I was reading some of her stuff today right yeah strange because this story which Daniel Ellsberg who the guy leaked the Pentagon Papers he said it was this was more explosive than the Pentagon Papers well but it's something that a lot of people are not aware of and then also it's something that a lot of people would say well war is an ugly business and this is part of why it's such an ugly thing that these that ultimately these sorts of actions are at the very least less bad than what would happen if they weren't yes are you it's necessary man so this is where we have to conclude because we don't have all the information we'd love to hear from you do you think that Operation Gladio B is real the or that Operation Gladio continues today this stuff that was once treated as a conspiracy theory a few decades ago is now largely confirmed not not all of it not all of the connections are written out there and there are people drawing some dotted lines which might be a leap of logic but in large part yeah it's it's moved to a conspiracy fact so what do you think do you think that these kind of destabilization efforts continue today the Great Game by the way which we talked about I think in our look at Soviet Russia and the UK the Great Game was about spheres of influence trade economy and resources and I've been pretty clear with my opinion about this stuff as well like I don't I don't buy the idea of wars for ideology often or at least wars of invasion or aggression for ideology I think it's window dressing to put on a resource grab I think they I think those have happened in the past but you have to have a very special person when I say special I mean charismatic leader well a leader that believes in himself and his I'm gonna say BS and often that makes it ideological mm-hmm Kelly Merlin and King Arthur's court right sure or Connecticut Yankee and King Arthur's court yeah not just a regular more Merlin and also if you want to write to us and let us know some stuff that we should cover in the future our best ideas come from you will give you our email at the very end of the show but first it's time to do something that we haven't done in a while we're gonna read a little piece of listener mail then I'm going to read a quick or I guess I'm going to read parts of this message we got from Kelsey okay Kelsey says hey guys I was just thinking about the final question you posed at the end of who runs the internet dealing with the future of the internet I watched a YouTube video from Verge or the Verge mm-hmm where Bill Gates talks about how the internet and technology is gonna help with education in lower income countries and Kelsey says when you combine this with your YouTube videos about historical revisionism and what if the middle ages never happened things to start start to get interesting Kelsey says here's where it gets crazy what if the US government is just helping the third world quote to get free internet and education so they could be the ones who are teaching them the way they want to that is really interesting basically saying that they would sway that part of the world to be more aligned with Western ideology at least that's what I would do if I were them in this situation Kelsey says anyways just an idea love the show keep up the good work well thanks Kelsey that's a that's a massive compliment but also that's a great question you and I Matt we did a piece on something similar when we talked about textbooks which are huge deal and completely different depending upon where you go in the world you know oh yeah and it's strange because I'm sure that of course an Arab textbook will differ widely from an Israeli textbook just as a Japanese or Chinese textbook will also differ especially about World War two and things like Manchuria right depends on the consensus of you know which side you're on and stuff went down yeah and I think it I think it's completely plausible Kelsey that some some entity would say well let me let me inculcate a certain type of belief structure by not really showing you any other possibilities right yeah yeah that's it's a good point I think it's something that would be possible to prove if we could find it but you know this this is a battle that takes place within countries especially in a country like the United States where every state is on some level autonomous right with certain things and we've seen at least you and I have met the battles over what should and shouldn't go into a textbook sex education evolution how historical events are portrayed you know yeah history of the United States just overall history during slavery right yeah or how nobody or at least nobody in the south teaches Martin Luther King's other speeches the ones about class equality right because that's a little bit too socialist I think you know I don't know how it is in other states but that's a that is fantastic food for thought and we've got to start digging on that exactly thank you so much Kelsey and everybody else please write to us we want to hear from you all the things we said earlier about your awesome ideas we love it and just if you want to write to us you can do it right now and that's the end of this classic
