Hello, America, or wherever you might be in the world. Thank you for listening or watching this podcast. This is the Private Investigator Experience podcast, and I'm your host, Phil Little. Today, my post is focused on America, but other countries have some of the same challenges that I'll be talking about. I started this channel to share about the life and cases of a Hollywood P. I. And also looking at my international as well as my local experiences. I use my military, law enforcement, intelligence, and global security experience to find solutions for our clients. Then I just add a touch of my biblical world view. And I also add that when I'm looking at international issues that might affect us here at home. Part of my purpose for this channel was, motivating you, the listener, and the viewer to become your own investigator. Yes, you can. You might say, I don't have any experience. I don't know what to do. I can assure you, every one of you can do one of the important skills that a PI needs to have. That is research. And today, at your fingertips, on the internet, with one of the search engines, you can put in a topic, and you will get loads of information. Then you can also very quickly sort through and find out what the truth is, if there's any question about it, and what might be misinformation. One question I get asked is, how did I start working internationally? How did a local Hollywood P. I. wind up working in the Middle East or Europe or the Far East. Early in my career, I was asked to serve on the board of a non profit who was involved in taking groups to Israel and the Holy Land. From these trips, we were challenged by Prime Minister of Israel to go up to Southern Lebanon and see what was happening in the Christians in Southern Lebanon. It is not surprising that with the history of the Arab and Jewish nations, that after all the work, lives lost, money spent, that after the full pullout from southern Lebanon by Israel in the year 2000, the country is at a worse place than when the P. O. O. was attacking from the north. I think history shows that had Israel stayed the course and totally cleared, Southern Lebanon and helped establish a stable government there, that might be different today. The reality is Hezbollah, who moved into and took over Southern Lebanon after the Israelis pulled out in 2000, they made PLO look like a kindergarten. And when you look at the Hezbollah of today, of 2024, you see that very enhanced organization to what the PLO was. Now, of course, this could change, that in the last few days, it is said that Israel has a dismembered half of Hezbollah and they have stopped a vicious attack being planned on the ground. Like October the 7th was a came out of Gaza. This was being planned with a bigger group, more weapons, more capabilities, more training to hit northern Israel. That was stopped by this hitting with great strikes in southern Lebanon and now the ground invasion that's been going in and working through southern Lebanon. On that first trip, when we went into southern Lebanon in 1977, and meeting with Major Hadad, who was a Lebanese Army veteran and had taken on the role to secure southern Lebanon with the help of Israel. By the 1980s, Major Hadad's forces were the main force in southern Lebanon for keeping the peace and controlling terrorism, with the occasional help from IDF and other logistics from Israel. When the shelling of missiles by the P. O. O. from the Beaufort Castle above the Latini River became an overnight occurrence and more and more results of falling on northern Israel communities, the I. D. F. went north on June the 6th, 1982, to clear the Beaufort Castle and take the PLO. out of the equation and stop the missiles. In fact, I was on the ground in Matua when the tanks went rolling through the gate in the good fence headed north about 15 kilometers toward the castle. Why was I there? The non profit I was on the board of, High Adventure Ministries, had built a radio and television station in southern Lebanon with the help and the support of Israel. The reason I was in southern Lebanon in June 1982 was I'd been there many times before, many times after, was to add early warning security equipment to the station and towers. The ministry name was appropriate, High Adventure, for I had some high adventures while I was there. On the first few days of June, I was up in the north towards Beirut, about 10 kilometers above the border where the Good Friends fence was at, at Matua. The road north to the television towers would reach into the area where the PLO patrols would, come south and they'd see how far they could get without, encouraged strikes from the southern Lebanese forces. So they were always on the prowl and you had to be careful. My contacts with the IDF told me, to be careful as I would be alone in a rental car from Israel, so I'd be a target. They gave me an Uzi with some extra clips and a call sign for the radio they gave me. If I got in trouble, I had no idea what I was getting into in my first book. Hostile Intent, which I tell, that's hostile intent. and it's, on Amazon and other places. I tell the story of some of my adventures in Southern Lebanon and how I got involved. I've been given this background to get to the point for this post. It's a critical time that Israel completes the removal of all hostile forces from southern Lebanon and help establish a stable Lebanese government that wants to live in peace with Israel. When Israel pulled out in 2000, they were war weary, tired of the losses of lives in southern Lebanon, thinking that if they left, things would get better. That didn't happen. And this time, hopefully, the leadership in Israel will finish the job that includes Iran being taken care of to stop their support of these terrorist groups and being a threat to Israel. If they don't, and if Israel doesn't follow through and get this job done, the rest of the world, as well as Israel, will pay a high price down the road. That is why. As an American investigator, I am watching closely what is happening, and I hope you do too. My alert to America is also continuing into my investigations into the disinformation and untruths that are coming from the left and the mainstream press. My fellow Americans, It is time we put aside political parties and make our priority to help elect leaders who will be best in restoring every part of the American way of life given to us in our Constitution. That doesn't matter and shouldn't matter if they're Republican, Democrat or Independent or, Libertarian or whatever they might be. We face dangers from every side. out of control debt of over 35 trillion, which will destroy us, friends. We can't keep having this debt like we're doing and survive. The world knows it. There's just some of our politicians on both sides of the aisle haven't got that yet for some reason. Also, we've had a loss of our free speech, and that's continued to happen. A loss of religious freedoms. As we found in the pandemic, our religious freedom was gone. And it could happen again and worse. Our Second Amendment rights are under attack at all times to try to take away our right to have arms. The government control, using the woke ideology and gender confusion over our children. And in some states, laws that will allow the state to take the child away from the parent if the parent will not allow this to happen. young student to make decisions about gender change. What is happening to our country? This is just a few of the major problems. Time is running out and as an investigator, I'm past being alarmed. Our only hope is for we, the people who have been sitting on the sidelines to get involved. One of the stats that is alarming to me is that 25 million plus of mainstream Americans. who aren't way left or way right aren't even registered to vote. And they will be ones that will be complaining about our government, I'm sure. So, if you're not registered, get registered to vote. Search out the best candidates. Forget about looking at political parties. And vote. Very soon, the right to register will be gone along with our freedoms. If we don't take back our government in November, which is only about 32 days away, 33 days away, time is short. November the 5th is coming.
