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 he too had almost. No need to make it all. 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 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 nothing. And within 2 hours 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 a 100000. 00 men. Told them as bad as we could see a gray impact that it was maybe 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 what they did they gave all this for 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. Innovation makers Ship Builders meat packers. 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. Base 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 is there 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 of the past. I was always fish 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 cost majority of most people understand is bribes. Well continue to Work Together against the Turkish Press through the way of life pacifist. 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 they tell these sexual trysts or is that when saudi military officers would come along he would present them with canteens of cut through 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 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 secretary. Because the more this guy to lose you the secretary the what the hell youre talking about. And that is sometimes all that is you need. To use and thats going to Agency Cold War kids because of the specialties of the chief of staff of the army like blowing bits of them. And. We had the 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 talk that is relevant please bring your cross because i could use it and for each interesting information i will get over 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 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 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 probably have painted in the gray and silver colors of the Dallas Cowboys were his favorite American Team i used to fly around in that quite cheerfully. Case centered on establishing the ultimate beneficiary of exceptionally knowledge amounts of money paid by the share 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 of a song here and you can do that legally. Yes or no but you know more or less 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 that 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 but you take half of that 5000000 and you send it to the following bank account in churchill and wilshere in this war. 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. We. Had to flee. The city can. Choose to. I. Was i had to do. Somewhat its from. This out exception. I play. Each child to clean. Each careful city. Formed by. Moral. Hides. And then 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 it set up the 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 those companies are all to the business of labors policy as you suggest well have some supply they do employees of government it is just dont the way business is done. We were actually able to publish what was the most dangerous story the brits 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 the. Prince of state run and a friend. How do you screen. Of course none of us are greedy its only the other fellow whose 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 you next 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 Public Policy initiatives for creating societies. And 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 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 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 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 freedoms 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 on 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 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 throwing 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 with these dreams were assassinated. Its not just the one off killings the cool year the cool day. Its the entire dream that had to be killed. To be sure to do less and to be a book. But arent going to or much else. To live by a similar and manner. Holy order should do or lose a leader because on the the end. Looksee you assumed was he not one test got a person on the most if they meet by these. When i said kind of day is here. Is holy you know men t. You who leave your god to what are the salmon. You know be your command. Is unfit you have them and. Each of them good to micio.
