Still. We are at war. Im responsible for the deployment of thousands of Young Americans to battle in a distant land. Somewhere. And some will be killed. And so i tell you what enqueued sense of the costs of war and conflict. Filled with difficult questions about the relationship between war and peace and our effort to replace one with the other. Got. Him to feel good he said. This time wasnt something i had almost. You know i need to make it all. The most interesting. There were 5 months in a world war one both sides were in trenches they were just mass slaughter across the landscape men were standing up sleeping they were in their own feces and their dead comrades were sitting there no mans land they couldnt even get them and bring the bathtub area. It was Christmas Eve and a german high command sent them Christmas Trees it was like a stage shot all of a sudden across the german front you saw these little Christmas Trees lighting up and then the allies were silent night being sung by the germans and started applauding. And then all of a son a couple of guys on both sides get out of the trenches and start walking toward each other. And expected any minute to pull back with machine guns or you know and. And we didnt we were walking about and talking and it was nothing like. Hundreds get out of the trenches and thousands get out of the trenches and they embraced each other 100000 men. Oh you know man stands phosphoric see as graeme back there the west memphis talking shaking hands exchanging names addresses after the war wrecked one another. About it back in your trenches you know jumped the generals b. I mustve seen it and got a bit suspicious so well that day i gave all of those around about 3 of guns behind us to fire on officers so i had their involvement but the journey. Was not stopping there was again for one question on that. This was a war to end all wars. This was a war to make the world safe for democracy. At least 21000. 00 new millionaires were made in the us billions and billions of dollars would be piled up a few. Initial makers shipbuilders meatpackers. And let us not forget the bankers who finance the great war. To turn blood into gold. And their profits were secret as they were. All of them are looking ahead to war. I stand before you tonight in my red star chiffon evening god. Based off. My fair gently way. This extraordinary deal between the United Kingdom and saudi arabia in which Ronald Reagan wanted to sell the saudis billions and billions dollars worth of equipment these reading stopped it and congress wouldnt approve it because they feared arming saudi would strengthen israel. Handed the deal with are effectively to his political soulmate Margaret Thatcher un soon nothing there its. A very tough act to follow. When we stumbled on the saudi arms. Deal we really started to stumble on a central feature of british politics over the last 30 years. Has been at the heart of many of the great quote a vent. I was always pleased to see him when i was Prime Minister because he brought me extraordinary insight. To consider saudi arabia as a strong friend and would be willing to support the king then with whatever became the me and the discussion from there on Everything Else was going to get he explained to mr bachchan this was a deal with saudi arabia and therefore things were done differently. They wanted 43000000000. 00 worth of weapons that was 6000000000. 00 in commission. The false majority what most people understand is bribes. Well continue to Work Together against the terrorists who threaten the way of life of pacifists. One day i thought right and it was a mob to look at it coming im actually he said ive been working for a travel company and 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 deal so. I did 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 liked the other thing they liked was 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 aiming 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 and the what the hell you are talking about. And that is sometimes old as you need. I have to use an Escort Agency called launches because of the specialties of the chief of staff of the army lifelong basilica. And. We had the secretary of the embassy come and review the photos she said i won this one i won this one i win this one that when this one i had the girls i arrived one day before and i said youre old i know you will be paid handsomely for this but do me a favor if you get any people thought that is 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 bad deal. M m i phone rang again. It was another whistleblower and he said you have no idea what it is that youre 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. People of the level of the head of the Saudi Air Force who was a royal prince. We would fly the 2 of us angelica and they would buy cars and dress us and 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 beneficiaries saw that the case became really very serious is the trail appeared to lead towards senior members of Society Royal family. The most outrageous example was that maybe amy and id order to go the way with prince bandar at one point made him a present of a huge commercial airline had all of his various which he promptly have painted in the gray and silver colors of the Dallas Cowboys and rays favorites a very good team i mean is the fly around in that quite cheerfully. The case centered on establishing the ultimate beneficiary of exceptionally knowledge amounts of money paid by the sharing space for consultancy services. If theres evidence that mark fashioned this is that your son got 12000000 in cash for his work as a fixer. This is part of the bill. This is who dont want it its a really beautiful weapon its also made if you want to sell on the market and youre looking probably about 3500 euros and why you keep it in the heart because i have a song here. And you can do that legally. But no more words you care as long as its in the house. It is or should the cut of the neighbor. Ive got nothing as money and the 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 to have as much power as a middle ranking executive and want to martin a dent of the day they do with the tolls. 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 said that the following bank account in churchill and wilshere in the floor. 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 realization 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. We. Had to feed. The city can. Treat them. I. Had to do. Them see what its from. This out exception. I play. Each child to clean. Each careful city. On foot by. More. I. Mean. Im in 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 is this swiss bank records of International Cover 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 the British Virgin islands offshore Company Called red diamond and from red diamond the money went into this guys 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 dont we and i believe most companies all to the business of labor labors policy as you suggest well have some support they do have a voice of government it is just cool the way the 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 doubt many would have been and they had hanky panky and they had to go down to ed so i mean this is this is human nature i salute you prince of state run and a friend. How do you agree. Of course none of us are greedy its only the other fellow whose grief. This the world runs on individuals pursuing their circulators. 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 wouldnt. Catch hundreds believe there is no nature of society so you have to nurture individual is i dont accept that at all i think there are very many good policy initiatives for creating societies. And the beirut theres a little do you know theres a comment isnt a k 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. Thats 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 set yes i think what they term freedom means is economic license and economic license 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 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 of that freedom where capitalism and Free Enterprise has not been the predominant mechanism of the Free Enterprise system has spread through the force of on some notes on this one wielded by governments that was Government Intervention under the name of the Free Enterprise system but a Government Intervention which destroyed the cretins 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 pick. The action is not only about taking from india but taking from the people. Even to dreams take 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 wood. From the standpoint of want it badly and cause the victims or what i think of really as of people trying to make their own future is. 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 stopped 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 word these dreams were assassinated. Its not just the one off killings that corey other cool there. Its the entire dream that had to be killed. To be sure to do less than to be a book. But arent going to or much else. To live by a symbol or any man. Holy orders who are a loser will be because on the t. N. Looksee you assumed was he not one test got a plus imo you must have a me by these. When i said kind of guy is here. The holy you know men t. You who leave your god to what are the salmon. You know be your command be. Nice and fit you have them and even. Egypt then go to micio.

And bahrain sudans foreign minister says the deal still has to be approved by a yet to be formed parliament or it development on the bit its a long process that requires a lot of work so this is an agreement to normalize that took place between sudan and israel and we are now waiting for the completion of the Democratic Institutions through the formation of the Legislative Council so that it can decide to ratify this agreement and if that happens then we will begin the steps towards normalization.

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 had 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 this 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. That you had to let me. Meet. 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 country. Which well call country toe. Thats correct. I had the practice meeting periodic lane was the official from country to about assistance 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 have 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 are many cases where some americans are questioning bad as you know well thank heaven both the case and was not in connection with saudi arabia. I think that there was a substantial shadow government trying to run for if they actually managed a. 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 last nomination of richard b. Cheney to be secretary of the friends is a make a name for themselves in the private industry and then they come into the go. This revolving door keeps the National Security leak very small and very wealthy. And increasing its wealth as it goes up the chain 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 impressive crowd the haves and the have more. Money commissioned a study by halliburton to find out how much more of the Defense Department could be privatized proud to serve our troops palaver in which 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 990 s. Building up the how important war empire well if were going to talk about star wars we might as well invite darth vader and i. Am. Happy to accept. That 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. Quitman 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. And i want to get on a helicopter right now you know bombs have got a time with them like food. You know munitions its got to us got to know so much that its you know you. Just. You can see. In iraq the f. 15 s and f. 18 s were firing 6000000 dollars within seconds coming back we army and going up again. Theres no hope anymore because theres always a small kabul of people for or really really Good Business. It doesnt matter that were losing the war in afghanistan albert could care less its good for them good for profit. No you actually know the real thing. But i want to share the words are the. Bad luck i was told about for your good life and those are your a. C. L. 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 you shoot guys been the lobbyist. And what this does is just lock the system up and thats the whole name of the game and its called political engineering and im like Political Science political engineering is real. One of the most important things done or stand it essentially creates what we call a self like an ice cream cone. And its like a petrol 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 state or people like the largest defense contractor in the world Lockheed Martin they would die before they see. Whats. Going to change the world. Were probably already working. What did martin basically do you assume unless youre last to push them to goals you know in all branches of the government and to the whole. And this is the group that made them if you will go youve been to school boys. Fiscal year 9992. 3 trillion missing fiscal year 2001 point one trillion missing the pentagon has claimed year after year that the reason they 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 is you know any was never in the penalty box if you could proceed to my 2nd question please the 2nd question. I forgot what the 2nd question was. In the vigils operating in the shadows and never having their names called are able to leverage the power of the military and the Foreign Policy apparatus for their own personal pick uni ery in. What is now whos the enemy how do we justify. This play is all this bullshit what better our new other me. In. The war on terror. It being demanded so the len yellow mutinies must have unity back home by the end of the city tells me. That id have a home by that title but if it gives him by the unit to be dorian out of the many guys who are no meadows other than your let the analysis. Which you see mean if tony dances and similarly im going to see mean you know better you dont know either outfit on the deal or. I want to maintain any doubt. Less it would be i mean are even they let our money earned to have at least i am in a fabulous fundamentalist to fill my seat of a Single Service and i knew him as he goes for me you. Isnt see him from the mental demand your home on a c. C. You. Get the wheel and i nak then didnt she only get a 2nd a bit earlier her lack. Of ethics at the most basic level when we realize how weve entered into a permanent state of war like what often proponents of. Counter terrorism on a global scale think of as a long war but a War Without End Something Like that. And i think that what weve accepted is a political regime that is stained by fear is a very old very old political tactic i mean machiavelli asin the prince is it better for the prince to be feared or loved and his conclusion is because the locus of fear the the source of fear resides in him in the prince it can be constant for his rule whereas the locus of love resides in the people its in their power and so for them could be cost and long lasting means so much already opens a question that he probably doesnt provide us the answer with what would it mean to have our social arrangement like the basis of our social choices. Be founded on love. I dont think one has to justify the cost and nature of the National Security state one just has to keep the people fearful enough to support it but what i want to bring to your attention today is the potentially much more sinister nexus between iraq and the o. Kind of terrorist network. Every word in that speech was gone over by the director of Central Intelligence and his Deputy Director after so it was nothing that i made up it was nothing that i stuck in there and in fact some people tried to stick extra things in there that the Intelligence Community wouldnt verify with multisourcing and i said no powell grabbed me physically which was unlike him and drug me into a space at the cia at langley and said throw all the material in my presentation about terrorism out cut it out out this amount this is just within an hour george tenet the director of Central Intelligence made a spectacular bombshell presentation we have just learned from a hollow evill al qaida operative under interrogation about significant contacts between baghdads mukoko rot and al qaeda. This was devastating. Heres the director of Central Intelligence telling the secretary of state that he has interrogated evidence well the secretary turned to me and said put it back in. Al qaeda continues to have a deep interest in acquiring weapons of mass destruction as with the story of the car and his network i can trace the story of a senior terrorist operative telling how iraq provided training in these weapons to al qaeda later i learned that that was shake out libby that had to happen just instantly happened it happened months before theyd been water boarded in egypt when he did this no u. S. Personnel were present and he had recanted within a couple of weeks and we never were told about that every statement i make today is backed up by sources solid sources these are not assertions were giving you are facts and conclusions based on solid intelligence we were indisputable we were lied to. At this hour american and Coalition Forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm iraq to free its people and to defend the world from grave danger as karl rove famously said to this reporter you know you guys are reality based communities we make reality by the time you figured out you know whats wrong with our reality weve moved on the creation of another reality digital cell or cause to come into the possession of Saddam Hussein weapons of mass destruction did the United States sell to him absolutely not. Iran iraq was on such a scale and i was on the iranian side and i went down to the balcony i was actually given a gasket and so let me take the train back right away up to town and the carriages with crimes with iranian soldiers had been gassed some which is causing russian and one man who has read. It was so he put a handkerchief white blood on his lips. Gradually to cargos became permeated with this sort of 36 mile and i realized it was the smell of the gas they were coughing up from the lungs i was going around the car has opened the windows and my tears trying to clean the train out of the smell of obviously chemical. After 2003 i was being attacked on radio shows especially from america you know complaining about the american eventually you proceed on i said excuse me i was on the train of iranians gassed by the iraqis and the chemical components came from the United States at the very time that you all rumsfeld was meeting saddam you were meeting with Saddam Hussein i think we have some video of that. Of that meeting tell me what was going on during this is what did you get this video from the Iraqi Television is on the wacky television when did they give it to you recently or back then we dug this out of the c. N. N. Library i see isnt that interesting. There i am. Our war on terror. Begins with al qaida. But it does not in. This very phrase war on terror is a rational line saying. A war on war. When the Serious Fraud office launched its investigation into the crimes that we were covering it turned out that many of these arms deals have been forced through by tony blair personally he said theres a case you dont send me. Once you start a war. You open a kind of pandoras box you dont control it it controls you in the. Fog and the advantage i don nice man and man carragher and. Today there are good terrorists and bad at the bad terrorists those in yemen who the United States deems to be a threat the good terrorists are those who are in syria the joke here is weve been there before. I mean if you consider the of the honest on story they have learned nothing. Today if i say that the saudis are giving money to groups that are insane and that are not only a looser model so the. People who say you are a conspiracy theorist. American sob rabia put 1000000000. 00 each to give them training equipment we out of that was so clear to all those people to go we had. Peace thats what we want freedom and peace not. The doctrine that has endured from bush to obama is that the world is a battlefield and that the United States has the right to go into any country around the world to conduct what they call kinetic operations lethal operations regardless of what International Law says if youre a small state like we were for 150 years in in essence these are the spain france.
