Individuals 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. Whats now me. But our new other. It being due to minus 0 and then youll meet the needs of the unity back by the end of the see those me. That are not known but enough to know but he didnt seem to be the many gun woman who for one you know were not good at this. Should she be did she need insistence of maturity im going to see me you know better the internet you know if we dont. I think of the most basic level when we realize how weve entered into. A permanent state of war like what often proponents of. Counterterrorism 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 as a political regime that is sustained by fear is a very old very old political tactic i mean machiavelli asin the prince is a better for the prince to be feared or loved and his conclusion is because the locus of fear that 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 tossed in a long lasting. I mean 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 0 kind of terrorist network. Every word in that speech was gone over by the director of Central Intelligence and his Deputy Director after so theres 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 baghdad. And al qaida. This was devastating. Heres the director of Central Intelligence telling the secretary of state that he has interrogated evidence ready well the secretary turned to me and said put it back. To continues to have a deep interest in acquiring weapons of mass destruction as with the story has the car we have 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 allowed 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 Community is the big media 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 to him absolutely not. Iran iraq was on such a scale that i was on the iranian side and i went down to the bottom i was actually given the gas kit and so let me take the train back right all the way up to tehran and the carriages were crammed with iran the social side being gassed some would just coffee russian and one man who was reading a koran themselves and put a handkerchief blood on his lips. Gradually to cargos became permeated with a sort of 36. 00 and i realised it was the smell of the gas they were coughing up from the lungs i was going around the car does open the windows and night is trying to clean the train out of the smell of obviously chemical. Bombs to 2003 i was being attacked on radio shows especially from america you know complaining about the American Invasion or you pro saddam and 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 will 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 why did you get this video from the Iraqi Television is on the Iraqi Television when did they give it to you recently you know we back then we dug this out of the c. N. N. Library i see. Isnt that interesting. There are you know. Our war on terror. Begins with al qaida. But it does not in. This 30 days war on terror is irrational its like saying. A war on rule a war on vine and so on that its nonsense hes stepping into this possibility of conflict to a wall. Now or your little kid reassuring us and we kept believing him because you dont want to think your Prime Minister is deceiving you and the route to one is nothing less serious. When the Serious Fraud office launched its investigation into all 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 30 k. Saddam salesman when ever there was a dispute ever in government he always found the onset. The Serious Fraud office got to the brink of uncovering the secret Swiss Bank Accounts by which he was from owning money to the saudi royal family the swiss said were going to notify the back to tell folders. That blessed swung into action. Or to the Serious Fraud office to close down their investigation. Since bond said if the investigation continued they would withdraw a National Security cooperation which would lead in the words of prince bandar to blood on the streets of london. The story weve been banging away out for more than 5 years is something that really woke up to it because everybody could see was a huge cover up scandal the spectacle of british Prime Minister closing ballad a criminal investigation for reasons we all wear that your government was approving pavements to a friend of president bushs British Aerospace is back system is that why you suspended a fraud inquiry. When tony blair started talking about National Security interests that supposed to be a cop that trumps all of those i dont believe the investigation is that it would have led anywhere except to the complete wreckage of a vital strategic relationship for our country in terms of fighting terrorism in terms of the middle east in terms of british interests that. Say these things absolutely stunning and it seems to be a very expensive way of going izing payment. The minute she equipment money. We want a catalog republic because we think it would be geared to our people and we want to contribute to the welfare of europe into the European Values of democracy of equality of dialogue of peace and we think that we are ready to contribute on our own with this new europe but its part of the euro me the European Community and constituency whats the big deal whats the problem why cant we accept that possibility in the 20 percent.

Rather than provide life saving medication for the almost 6000000 South Africans who were then living with hiv. The primary reason for those deals was that around 300000000. 00 in bribes were paid to senior politicians. And sadly to the African National congress the a. N. C. My own party. I was called in by a Senior Member of the n cs National Executive council he said to me look im going this is a battle you cannot win because this money brian. We used to fund our 999 election. And almost immediately im asked to make a statement to the press that says theres nothing to investigate. Its all over. And i looked at him and i said no its not. I wont be able to live with myself.

The heads of government of the sales people in chief of their countries large arms contractors. And this is the template used by large defense contractors around the world. Companies might be another me sort of effect to be part of a government but theyre effectively above the Law Corruption is not merely a dirty little detail on top of the arms trade its actually in a lot of cases what drives the International Arms trade many of these deals would not happen if they did not provide opportunities for personal enrichment i would be offended if i thought. We had the monopoly of corruption. To pay more for the rich friends weve made around their own bank for 20 years that it was they paid 6000000. 00 being the man or.
