They wanted 43000000000. 00 worth of weaponry that was 6000000000. 00 pounds in commission. The false majority of most people understand this bribes. Well continue to Work Together against the terrorists who threaten the way of life pacifist. One day i started crying and it was a man coming im actually he said ive been working for a travel company. We had a kind of slush fund we used to distribute to saudis and other arabs when they came to britain for be all to help the path of alms deals. And they tell the sex workers stories that when the saudi military officers would come along he would present them with canteens of cut 3 that was something that they light and other thing they like because girls so he would take about the town and get the girls. To be honest it seemed like quite small beer payments made some of them from rather on as manic activities and chips to talks about cooldowns that sort of thing theres only 2 things that count in business my friend money and sex the rest you can write as much as you like is absolute garbage you can measure weapon beautiful the president s secretary. Because theyre more distracted looking at their secretaries something you want to have youre talking about. And that is sometimes old as you need. To use an Escort Agency cold war kids because of the specialties of the chief of staff of the army life long that sort of. Thing. We had there secretary of the embassy come and review the photos she said i want to swim i want this when i win this one i win this one i had the girls i arrived one day before and i said girls i know you will be paid handsomely for this but do me a favor if you get any people thought it was relevant please bring your cross because i could use it and for its interesting information i will give another 2000 euro bonus so with 60 grand i signed the contract with 3000000 so it wasnt ideal. M m i phone rang again. It was another whistle blower and he said you have no idea what it is that your. Getting into here. And he said this slush fund is much much bigger than you realize our job was to look after the really high level people those who used to come to england who were being bribed essentially by be people of the level of the head of the Saudi Air Force who was a royal prince. We would fly the 2 of us angelicas and they would buy cars and dress just it wasnt shopping like you would i would think in the end when they gather together all the shopping we would charter an entire jumbo jet to fly it all back to saudi arabia it was in the attempt to try and trace through the Bank Accounts who the ultimate beneficiary saw that the case became really very serious as the trail appeared to lead towards senior members of Society Royal family. The most outrageous example was that maybe 80 i dont order to smooth the way with prince bandar at one point i made him a present of a huge commercial airliner all of his various which he promptly have painted in the gray and silver colors of the Dallas Cowboys and rays favorite American Team i mean is the fly around in that quite cheerfully. The case centered on establishing the ultimate beneficiary of exceptionally large amounts of money paid by big sharing space for Consultancy Services and. Theres evidence that mark fashion of this is that your son got 12000000 in cash for his work as a fixer. This is florida dont. Go this route dont worry its a really beautiful weapon its also made if you want to sell on the market youre looking probably about 3500 euros and why you keep it in the house because it was all her. And you can do that legally. You know but no more words you cant as long as its in the house. It is or should the shot of the neighbor. I dont know the unions money i dont mind paying bribes to politicians its part of the deal the thing about politicians is that theyre very much like prostitutes but only more expensive. Polities is it dated by the whims of the arms industry politicians are nothing more than sales reps by their friends they have as much power as a middle ranking executive and want to martin ident of the day they do what theyre told. When an executive goes to bribe a foreign official he says to himself look ive taken a lot of risk to take this 5000000. 00 that im paying to the Prime Minister of x. Y. Z. Who makes an arrangement with Prime Minister of x. Y. Z. Ill hand over the 5000000 could you take half of that 5000000 and you send it to the following bank account in churchill and well share in this for. The 1st time an executive does that and he collects 2500000. 00 he says wow this is a Good Business to be and within moments of that realisation he is now no longer in the business of selling airplanes hes in the business of selling bribes and he is now scouring the world for somebody to find to bribe. Its. Head a few. Who can. To shoot them should. I. Was i had to do. Them see what its. Out. It seems. Like. Each child call. Each killed. By. More. And then the phone rang again. This was somebody who said you have no idea what youre getting into he said this whole be a thing is much much bigger it goes right to the very top what he had was something that you never see as a journalist swiss bank records of International Corporate payments going all over the world he showed me how be a set of a whole system with lloyds bank under which they channeled secret payments into a British Virgin islands offshore Company Called red diamond from red diamond the money went into this guy Swiss Bank Account and he then used it to distribute to the local politicians taking a big chunk of himself of course you know i can assure you we do we believe those companies alter the business of late payments as you suggest a lot of sums up what they do employees of governments but it is just part of the way business is done. We were actually able to publish what was the most dangerous story that prince bandar had been given not just the plane but over the years a total of 1000000000 pounds we did not invent. Corruption i mean i mean he would have been and they had hanky panky and they had to go down to edit so i mean this is this is what made sure i show you true friends of state run and a friend. What is greed. Of course none of us are greedy its only the other familys grief. This the world runs on individuals pursuing their selfinterest. All those people who believe that greed violence etc these primal socalled primal instincts other religions things and Everything Else is a social construction theyve lost their mind and for the last 50 years at least policy has been made based on the assumption of greed and its ruined the world. Patch writes believe there is no nature of society so you have to nurture individual is i dont accept that at all i think there are a very many good Public Policy initiatives for creating society. In the beirut theyre saying a lot to you. Theres a comment isnt a good 47 kalashnikov. A society that decides that the bulk of its budget is going to go to arms manufacturing building of a military eccentric the have made a moral decision that militarism is more important then the creation of wellbeing for the population like. This not the world i want to live in i want to live in the real world and the real world is peopled by real emotions including love and generosity. My god if you want is freedom the freedom of human beings of individuals to pursue their own say is i think what they term freedom means is economic license and economic license and those who control property and those who control capital has in fact been a threat not only to equality but a threat to the freedom of peoples all over the world and not only in europe and in the United States but nafta in asia and in latin america i want you to name me any society in which you have any large measure that freedom where capitalism and Free Enterprise has not been the predominant mechanism of the Free Enterprise system has spread through the force of arms and those on through wielded by governments that was Government Intervention under the name of the Free Enterprise system but a Government Intervention which destroyed the freedoms of many people not least of which are the people of chile. From the 1950 s. All the way through the 1970 s. The cia and the u. S. Military were engaged in covert actions throughout central mad america throughout africa really throughout the world where they were assassinating populist leaders they were backing up right Wing Military juntas funding and arming death squads like the contras in nicaragua or battalion 316. 00 and under us and i and there were these spate of assassinations across the globe. In countries like mine people have been killed to be quiet to know that any day any time youre going to be killed you dont know how but its coming. We were fighting in the league and still we are fighting you know body guards minds that dont want to work going inclusiveness they just take a. The action is not only about taking from india but taking from the people. Even to dreams take on the next. To last half of what is called the cold war i dont know it to be a very hard war for many parts of the world. From the standpoint of want it by them and cause the victims or what i would think of really as of people trying to make their own futures. There was an attempt in the global south to create an alternative imagination for people. But in the early 1970 s. This attempt was destroyed and it was stop through a real genuine attempt by the global lot to take over the institutions of the world including the world bank the i. M. F. Souls not simply that the bible of the south was incapable of carrying forward their dreams. It was a very strong with their dreams were assassinated. Its not just the one off killings the coir the cool there. Its the entire dream that had to be killed. To be sure to do less and to me a book. But arent going to or much else.

The joint hearings of the House Select Committee to investigate covert arms transaction with iran. And the select committee on secret military assistance to iran in the nicaraguan opposition will come to Order Congress began to address what they perceive to be an insanely out of control series of covert actions with little to no congressional oversight we have been supplying lethal weapons to terrorist nation involving the Us Government in military activities in direct contravention of the law and lying to the congress now i believe that democracy cannot survive that kind of abuse. And people like dick cheney and Donald Rumsfeld who are relatively new to government at the time did not like when Congress Said we need to step in and confront the National Security state and whats become a very out of control kill program cheney then went on during the reagan years in the eightys to serve in congress and when the iran contra scandal broke out into the open. Cheney did not Like Congress being involved with anything that the executive branch was doing. And you had to see other scandal that emanated from the highest echelons of power and the Reagan Administration was acting as though it had nothing to do with it ive told you all that i know and you know the truth of the matter is for quite some long time all that you knew was when i told you. To listen. To. Our witnesses morning is mr Robert Mcfarlane the former National Security adviser to the president. Mr mcfarlane will you welcome you to the committee and we look forward to your testimony. Mr mcfarlane. Did you have any discussion about the possibility. Of in effect farming out the whole contra support operations in nicaragua to another country which will call country run yes thats correct and did you in fact succeed in obtaining money from another contrary. Which well call country to. Thats correct. Had they practice meeting periodic lee was a official from country to about a systems we could provide some cases arms sales. And he intended to provide a contribution of a 1000000. 00 per months to the contras through the end of the year. You had no problems working with the cia we have no problem working with the United States government and unless the cia does not work for the government then i think we have a bigger problem there have been occasions when some americans are question that you know well thank heavens those occasion was not in connection with saudi arabia. I think that there was a substantial shadow government trying to run Foreign AffairsUnited States. These events have been characterized by some pretty strong statements weve heard talk of a grave constitutional crisis and even been treated to talk about a coup in the white house not only does cheney sort of defend iran contra but he argues that iran contra is actually a model for how the u. S. Should be conducting its National Security policy he is a radical subscriber to this notion of the unitary executive effectively what youre doing is saying on certain parts of american policy we dont have a democracy we have a dictatorship as a matter of fact i was. Very definitely involved in the decisions about support to the Freedom Fighters my idea to begin with. In my opinion there is no justification for further restrictions on the power and flexibility a future president. Of the National Security lead today is mostly composed of people who hit the revolving door multiple times during their lawyer nomination of richard b. Cheney to be secretary of the friends is going to. Make a name for themselves in the private industry and then they come into the get. This revolving door keeps the National Security leak very small and very wealthy. And increasing its wealth as it goes up the journey to the extent that then when you get to the top as cheney did then you can become a member of the plutocracy that runs the country to this is an impressive crowd the haves. And the have more than any commissioned a study by halliburton to find out how much more of the Defense Department could be privatized. To serve our troops palaver and was he laid to get this 1000000. 00 contract and of course returned a verdict that oh mr secretary lots more of it can be privatized. Dick cheney leaves the Defense Department and goes and heads halliburton himself and he spends the entire 1990 s. Building up the war empire well if were going to talk about star wars we might as well invite darth vader i. Am. Happy to accept. When he comes back into power as Vice President and then they start hiring halliburton to you know in advance even if u. S. Troops going into iraq how liberating personnel and equipment was being deployed to the gulf its hard to look at this and not say these guys had a very Long Term Plan for how they were going to increase the powerful infrastructure of private companies. What weve essentially done is to create a network of corporations that have the firepower of small nation states that could you know overthrow some small governments around the world. In essence we in the United States have privatized the ultimate Public Function war. When you know right now you know bombs have got the time with the like food. You know munitions its got. So bad that its. Just. You can see. In iraq the f. 16 s and f. 18 s were firing 6000000 dollars within seconds coming back really army and going up again. Theres no hope of any more because theres always a small cobble of people for more of the really really Good Business. It doesnt matter that were losing the war in afghanistan albertan could care less its good for them good for profit. Margins you know that. They dont want this have always been to the but. Bad law how i spoke out about it for you again did not and i dont know your last year alone. It is the bit. Where weve undergone a corporate coup detat in slow motion. 35000 lobbyists in washington they write the legislation they write the bills. All it takes is one phone call from somebody on the hill to someone in the pentagon saying hey turn on the dogs the hills out to get our program the guys in the senate are on board we need you to turn on the gucci shoes guys to straighten this thing out because she had guys been the lobbyist. And what this does is just lock the system up and thats the whole name of the game its its called political engineering and im like Political Science political engineering is real. One of the most important things done or stand is essentially creates what we call a self like an ice cream cone. And its like perpetual motion machine for getting ever increasing Defense Budgets the way we do it is by downplaying the future consequences to start a new weapon we over promised as performance under promise its cost we then systematically spread dollars jobs and profits to as many congressional districts as quickly as possible so that everybody has skin in the game. The people who are invested in this day or people like the largest defense contractor in the world lucky more than they will die before they see it. Whats. Going to change the world. Were probably already working. What did martin basically just similar as your last 2 posts stem tickles you know in all branches of the government and the whole them. And this is the group that make them if you look like a bunch of schoolboys. Fiscal year 19092. 3 trillion missing fiscal year 2001 point one trillion missing the pentagon has claimed year after year that the reason it cant account for the money is because its computers dont communicate with each other one trillion 1. 00 bills stacked high would reach nearly 68000 miles into space one 3rd of the way to the moon. I got a phone call from the f. B. I. Saying that i was a target of a death threat. And thats what happens when you go against the big boys who has the contracts today to make those systems communicate with each other and how much have the taxpayers paid for them there are times that corporations do things they should not do in which case they tend to be suspended for some period there are times then that corporations can get out of the penalty box it. Was never in the penalty box if you could proceed to my 2nd question please. The 2nd question. Are forgotten what the 2nd question was
