For good margin basically similar to your last 2 posts with the stem tickles you know in all branches of the government and of the whole. And this is the group that make them if you look like a bunch of schoolboys. 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 contract 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. I forgot what the 2nd question was. Individuals operating in the shadows and never having their names are able to leverage the power of the military and the Foreign Policy apparatus for their own personal pick uni ery in. Me. Knew other. Good being do the minus 0 and then youll meet a nice. Unity back by the end of the see those me. That are not known but enough to know but he did seem. To many gun woman oh so then you know were not good at this. Need insistence of majority im going to see me you know better the internet you know food on the net. 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 EndSomething 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 passed on 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 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 well the secretary turned to me and said put it back in. To continue to have a deep interest in acquiring weapons of mass destruction as with the story as the car we had 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 that hed 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 todays 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 allotted. 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 make 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 crimes with iranian soldiers whod been gassed somewhere just coffee rush and one man who was reading the koran yourself and put a handkerchief blood on his lips. Gradually cargoes became permeated with a sort of 36. 00 and i realized 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 air 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 proceed on 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 youll 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 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 very phrase war on terror is irrational its like saying. A war on role a war on vine and so on that its nonsense you stepping into this possibility of confidential 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 more 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 had 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 that. 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 holders randolph 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 all 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 they really woke up to it because everybody could see was a huge cover up scandal the spectacle of a british Prime Minister closing ballad a criminal investigation. Were you aware that your government was approving pavements to a friend of president bushs British Aerospace is back system is that why you suspended a folding couric. Went out talking about National Security interests 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 it seems to be a very expensive way of organizing drive payment. Money. Im going to fulfill the repeated promises apologise to the people and promise to be you know its all bots to. Be. Pretty. Pretty good. Now you want to 1st crack that. No. Balls 5 be cut. To link up my yacht. And when you. Look at the distance was wasnt. Some back. To School States of that city. Theres. Just too little. The world is driven by shaped by. The dares thinks. We dare to ask. Black came to south africa specifically to lobby to be the british weapons by new structure of the biggest contract on this deal. And the option that they presented was 2 and a half times more expensive than the plane but the south African Air Force he wanted to be a in the systems real performance real advantage. As monday was about to step down from public life his successor tabone becky made the decision to spend 10000000000. 00 what took quite scarce public resources. On this weaponry that we didnt need. Rather than provide lifesaving 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 angry this is a battle you cannot win because this money bribe. 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. If i stop this investigation but at the same time im also realizing. That this is the end of my political career. 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 afraid to be 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 rights of your friends we made around their own bank for 20 years that it was they paid a 1000000. 00 every year the man or. As i was being dragged out right at the last 2nd im going to still fail remind everyone that this guy is a war criminal and i just say actually called the record what he said about iraq and j. P. Morgan is completely and totally untrue ive never had a discussion with them now im not suggesting that was a phone call between gay people with an inbred exactly what happened was j. P. Morgan and a consortium of other banks didnt fact prop up the whole iraqi economy to the tune of about 2 and a half 1000000000 not 20000000000 other bit nervous that day then 6 months after he left office blair some a sign by j. P. Morgan for 5000000. 00 every year i was just trying to enlighten the public that there was corruption involved and not just bad Decision Making id like to find out how this. Is to access the coolant there must be a back door in because they dont go out to tea at the time and there was a court directly underneath the court room the player was in and it was left on not so i went through that run up to floors by the fire escape and then to the door that calls itself by this time my heart was pounding like im really going mad and i actually lost my courage for the moment i went and sat down in a low in a bathroom i found a gents toilet that i didnt see ring my mother and said listen im here in washington do you think i should still go when my mom said youre gone you wont get another chance and i thought thats it i mean the most. Obvious thing. That hope has to go through borders anger and courage anger at the way things are and courage to see that they dont remain the way they are. When. You can serve 2 sets of principles privilege and power justice and truth the more you make compromises with those who serve privilege and power point diminish the capacity for justice and trust. And. I think that. The rebel seeks to keep those who have power fearful. On him go there. Have been. Ordered to go. Under bush it is his engine. Well but of all that the feud has antti. Or good which we will see to either put it to be but it does appear to be a year of have one shit look to feed the study. Now it means in what i dont. See the norm another computer mustapha could be a. 2 man hope under george bush. Who watches the inside of the minute i see them coming to school. Who work on. The general and how the men who are cut in. Peace thats what we want freedom and peace good up. Off. Your roof who will lead who want to see. When the who dollar an hour just to her feet. And they just push them into the honey bee can but because of that. They get bought in the shop at up to Say Something nobody would buy that can him if you move too much sofie want to tother youre going to be full. Damage how about a lead up to a silo let me allow to be a dam and how about it up how will it had he let you call the judge bush and then tell us where theyre not the American People what i can accept that we had the internet up in there nick and it but if you so what. Did ya know that up dean let mr. George bush whod been with darwin at the decay you say it all and i am. Well i can not hold the hoof and. I now know it. So what if the guy threw a shoe at. They me. But my. Going to be may there is a town. Thats fully comes out of south africa to make. Them as if no no no just said the. Movement. Im going to reach is the sourcing of the l a times report paragraph one of us Authorities Say column one still u. S. Officials say said one u. S. Justice Department Counterterrorism official column 2 Officials Say u. S. Authorities say u. S. Officials say if those officials said the officials confirmed american officials complained they said u. S. Officials. U. S. Officials stressed column 3 u. S. Authorities said jordanian officials said go to the site. No laughter please we havent finished yet several u. S. Officials said column for u. S. Officials said several american official said Officials Say say u. S. Officials but u. S. Officials said one u. S. Counterterrorism official said im not joking there it is that is the journalism youre getting fed i sometimes think the l a times the New York Times here because american Officials Say. I denounce the call to invade iraq publicly the New York Times issued me a formal. Written reprimand which is what you get before youre fired under union rules to stop speaking out against the war had been a middle east bureau chief from an im better iraq than 7 years in the middle east. How can you come out of gaza and not being free. Whats being done to those people how can you come out of the sudan also. Dozens of other places i better not be. Ive seen the bodies of a lot of children which i cant forget. You know especially having done it for 20 years and. Dostoevsky 7 was the inability to love and thats what kills people. I fully get why people blow their brains out. Its really. And i dont use love as a kind of hallmarks small c n l we all got to love each other. Im saying that the only way youre healed from those experiences is by reestablishing a connection. With that kind of power with another human being and if you cant do that you dont survive and i have friends who couldnt do it theyre not here. Its you know the power of love. To transcend time and it looks like a ga youd be too out for that 38. 00 we used to have a woman or loaches a mini game and it fired 4000. 00 rounds per minute one of the manifestations of the National Security state especially in the in the sort of apple j its arrived at today. Is that it destroys the policy it destroys the will to diplomacy and it destroys the skill for diplomacy. If youre a small state like we were for 150 years in an essence of these of these spain france england and even russia youve got to be exquisitely good at diplomacy you got to be able to talk yourself out of lots of things and make deals and compromises and so forth but if youre the worlds headroom and you dont deal with anybody you smack. Your military and you smack. On this edition of crossfire we answer questions sent to us fire you with the viewers we received quite a few questions here we do our best to answer some of them. Were. 2020. Thousands of american men and women choose to serve in the countrys military and the decision a little sheltered lives every song came to a complete. The day i was raped to be instructed you know told to shut up what they kill me and i see how it destroyed my life any screamed at me and he made me come in any damn my arm and he raped me with his birth thinking if you take into account that women dont report because of the extreme retaliation its probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the us military is a very traumatizing. But ive never seen trauma like ive seen from 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 which i was very invested in and i gave that up to report a sex offender who was not even put to justice or put on the registry this is simply an issue of tower and violence male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether thats a man or women. You know world a big part of the law and conspiracy its. A way to dig deeper to hit the stories that midstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart or we need to stop slamming the door. And shouting past each other its time for Critical Thinking its time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now were watching closely watching the hawks. Head on snotty hundreds trying to storm the u. S. Embassy in baghdad after a deadly american ash writes in iraq diplomatic stuff including the ambassador have reportedly been evacuated from the compound. Also this hour we go in search of a connection on the outskirts of sydney with headlines saying that getting increasingly frustrated with slow internet speeds and coverage we ask locals just how bad it gets told not so for it see this is impossible to understand thats a bit of 70 years ago i was driving through estonia breaks in poland and from students today i dont see a connection in germany and
