The saudi arms. Deal we really started to stumble on a central feature of british politics over the last 2 years. Has been many of the great events. I was always pleased to see him when i was Prime Minister. And would be willing to support taking them with whatever became the me and the discussion from there on Everything Else was. He explained to mr thatcher this was a deal with saudi arabia and the. Difference. They wanted to 3. With the. That was 6000000000 pounds in commission. Of course majority of most people understand this broad. Well train you to Work Together against the terrorists who threaten the way of life a pacifist. One day i started crying and it was a mob to look at it coming it might 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 another 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 activity is gaining chips david 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 the more distracted looking at your secretaries the you want to have your talking about. And that is sometimes old as you need to be. To use an Escort Agency or kids because of the specialties thought the chief of staff of the army like blankets or. Anything. We had their secretary of the embassy come and review the photos she said i want to swim with this one i will destroy that with this one i had the girls i arrived one day before and i said youre. I know you will be paid to answer me for this but do me a favor if you get any people talk that is relevant please bring your cross because i could use it in 4 huge interest the information i will get over 2000 your bonus so it was 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 be people of the level of the head of the Saudi Air Force who was a royal prince or. We would fly the 2 of us angelicas and they would buy cause dresses 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 camp 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 the saudi royal family. The most outrageous example was that maybe 80 i dont want it to go the way with prince bandar but one point i made him a present of a huge commercial airline to all of his various which he promptly have painted in the silver colors of the Dallas Cowboys and really is favorites a very good team i mean used to fly around in that quite cheerfully. The case stands on establishing the ultimate beneficiary of exceptionally knowledge amounts of money paid by big share space for consultancy said distance and point where theres evidence. Fashionistas thats just some 12000000 in cash for his work as a fixer. Think about politicians is that theyre very much like prostitutes but only more responsive. Politics 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 in wall to martin ident of the day they do with the polls. When an executive goes to broad 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 the following bank account and shortfall 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 no 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. Heads of you. Can. Choose. To. See what it. Is i dont see it since. I. Each child could. Be cheerful so. By. This. I. Mean. When. 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 as a germ of this swiss bank records of International Corporate payments going all over the world he showed me how be it set up a whole system with lloyds bank under which they channeled secret payments into the British Virgin islands offshore companies called red diamond 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 check himself of course you know i can certainly sure we dont we are the i believe low scope of it all to the business of late. But also as you suggest a lot of subsequent they do employees of government it is just part of the way business is done. We were actually able to publish what was the most dangerous story the prince bandar had been given not just the claim but over the years that 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 human nature i should the usual prince of state run and a friend. What is great. Of course none of us are greedy its only the other greed. 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 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 a very many good Public Policy initiatives for creating societies. And the beirut theyre saying allude to you. As a committee isnt a good 47 kalashnikov. The society that decides that the bulk of its budget is going to go to arms manufacturing building of a military eccentric this is made a moral decision that militarism is more important then the creation of wellbeing for the population. This is not the world i want to live in i want to live in the real wood and the real world is peopled by real emotions including love and generosity. The world is driven by a. Person. Who dares thinks. We dared to ask. Thousands of american men and women choose to serve in the countrys military and the decision. Every song came to a complete. The day that i was right. You told a short while to kill me and i see how destroyed. Any screamed at me and he made me come in and you grab my arm and he write me. If you take into account that women dont report because of the extreme retaliation and its probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the us military is a very very traumatizing have happened but ive never seen trauma like ive seen women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished to be a friend and almost 10 year career or chose very invested in and i give a sex offender who was not even put to justice or put on the registry this is simply an hour in violence male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether thats a man or woman. Because theres Survival Guide look stacey just go to the store and thirdly the police are. You sure its still there you dont get it back. Oh good. Good susan repatriations look at the way to 70 or. Belittle separate tries to report. Im going to fulfill the repeated promises apologise to the people and come on you know weve all bots. Basically. Pretty oh. Pretty good.

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 control property and those who control capital has in fact been a threat not only to equality 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 onset 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 the 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 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 oligarch and still we are fighting you know body guards mines that dont want to work going inclusiveness they just pick. Action is not only about taking from the earth but taking from the people. Even to dreams take on the next. The 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 but i am not 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 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 people of the south were incapable of carrying forward their dreams. It was a very strong with these dreams were assassinated. Its not just the one off killings the cool year the cool there. Its the entire dream that had to be killed. To be she took to the syrian book. Uncanny how much you know. But i asked him better and man. Or the should be more elusive because the. Man. Was he not one to us got a testimonium us in the me but hes. One i said kind of to his ear. The whole lead on. N t you julio to notice them and. You know be able to command. Decency yeah them and eat. Each other thing good to see. 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 neck iraq when 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 activity 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 pill 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 understand 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 take. It with me you. Are witness this morning is mr Robert Mcfarlane the former National Security advisor to the president. Mr mcfarlane we welcome you to the committee and we look forward to your testimony. Mr mcclellan. 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 will call country to. Thats correct. Had they practice meeting periodic lee with the official from country to about the systems we could provide some cases arms sales. And they intended to provide a contribution of a 1000000. 00 per month to the contras through the end of the year. You have no problems working with us 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 lot of 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 did this is an 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. To serve our troops 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 a burden 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 fire power 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. On you know right now you know bombs of the time with the like food. You know munitions and. So by that its. In iraq. And thats a tease were firing 6000000 dollars within seconds coming back we are me in going up again. Theres no hope of any more because theres always a small cobble of people for whom war is 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 the mentally ill. I dont want this you have no no its kind of a. Bad law how would this whole go about of before you really did if not then i dont know your last year alone. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy. Let it be an arms race. Spearing dramatic developments only hastily im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. Imagine being 635 and you have a career and a career involves using your eyes in your computer and things like that in an office and perhaps you sort of things have it circular. You could have to stop doing all this and this is tell you lou the minutes must be from my world became smaller and smaller and smaller until i ended up winning it in a box.
