We. Were. 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 a cute 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. That we. Know him to feel good he said. Thomas in turn had almost. A need to make it all. Good come sit through things. 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 set all of a sudden across the german front you saw these little Christmas Trees lighting up and then the allies are 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 were going to as we were walking about and talking and it was nothing like. Hundreds get out of the trenches then thousands get out of the trenches. And they embraced each other a 100000. 00 men. Told them as bad as we could see as graeme that it west memphis talking shaking hands exchanging names addresses after the war wrecked one another. Oh i got it back in your trenches you know jumped the generals b. I mustve seen it and got a bit suspicious so well that day again all those were about 3 of guns behind us to fire on officers fire their revolvers but the japanese. Was not stopping their war again or we were question. 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 u. S. With 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 americans. All of whom are looking ahead to or. I stand before you tonight in my red star chiffon evening gown. Based softly made up and my fair hair 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. Stopped it and congress wouldnt approve it because they feared saudi would threaten israel so Ronald Reagan handed the deal with or effectively to his political soulmate Margaret Thatcher un soon enough and there was. A very effective fall. 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 world events. I was always preached to see him when i was Prime Minister because he brought me extraordinary insight. She informed us she considers saudi arabia as a strong friend and would be willing to support the king them with whatever the kingdom and of discussion from there on Everything Else was going to get he explained to mrs thatcher this was a deal with saudi arabia and therefore things were done differently. They wanted 43000000000. 00 worth of weapons that was 6000000000. 00. Homes in commission. The fos majority of most people understand is bribes. Well continue to Work Together against the turks who threaten the way of life of us to this. One day i started writing and it was a man 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 arms deals. And he told the sexual trysts or is that when 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 them girls. To be honest it seemed like quite small beer payments made some of them from rather on as manic activity is aiming chips to the talks about cool downs 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 secretary. Because theyre more destructive to the secular the what the hell youre talking about. And that is sometimes all that is you need. To use and thats going to agency called launches because of the specialties of the chief of staff of the army like blumberg silicon. We had there secretary of the embassy come and review the photos she said i want this one i want this one 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 and if you get any people thought that is relevant please bring your cross because i could use it and for each interesting information i will give another 2000 euro bonus so with 60 grand i signed the contract with 3000000 so it was a 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. We would fly the 2 of us angelica and they would buy cars dresses and it wasnt shopping like you would i would think in the end when they gather together all the shopping we would charge 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 is the trail appeared to lead to wards senior members of the saudi royal family. The most outrageous example was that maybe 80 i dont want to to go the way with prince bandar at one point i made him a present of a huge commercial airliner all of his very. Which he promptly have painted in the gray and silver colors of the Dallas Cowboys were his favorite American 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 pitch sharing space for consultancy said to see. If theres evidence that mark fashion this is that your son got 12000000 in cash for his work as a fixer. This is started i know. 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 house because i have a song here and you can do that legally. Yes or no but you got more work you care as long as its in the house. And its all should because of the name but. I dont know the us 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 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 he said that the following bank account in churchill and wilshere in this one. 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 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. Its. Head to feel. They can. To shoot. I. Had to do. Somewhat its from. Out exception. I play. Each child to clean. Each careful city. Formed by. More. Hides. 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 is this swiss bank records of international covert 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 guys Swiss Bank Account and he then used it to distribute to the local politicians taking a big chunk of himself of course we dont control the surely we dont we and i believe most companies all go to the business of labors policy as you suggest a lot of sums of money to employees of government it is just cool 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 doubt many would have been and they had hanky panky and they had to go down to edit so i mean this is this is. 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 whos greed. 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 a nights 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 dancing i look to you. As 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 this is 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 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 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 through 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 our 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 early garg 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 india but taking from the people. Even to dreams. 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 badly and went 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 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 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. Going to live by a similar and near. The merely or the sure loser will be because im the only indian. Look see your sword was he not one dust got a person on you most have a me by these. When i said kind of guy is here. Is holy your men team your holy your god to what are the salmon. You know below the command. Is unfit you have them and. Each of them good to micio.

From our coverage of africa is what im most proud of every time i travel bag whether its a still west africa people stop me and tell me how much they appreciate our coverage and our focus is not just on this suffering but also on a more happy lifting
