The story is complicated. 28 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,960 It takes books or a very long film to explain, so I appreciate your patience. 29 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:17,420 Since the end of World War II, the American government has murdered 30 00:02:17,420 --> 00:02:18,700 people across the world. 31 00:02:26,540 --> 00:02:30,680 American culture and ingenuity, creativity, invention and discovery have 32 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,140 substantially benefited the world. 33 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,720 Despite the accomplishments of its citizens, however, a parasitic class of 34 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:46,060 psychopaths ascended from the war economy to utilize the monopoly of force 35 00:02:46,060 --> 00:02:50,120 legalized immunity to create an empire of violently maintained corporate 36 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:54,440 cartels, predatory banks, and an enormous system of propaganda. 37 00:02:56,940 --> 00:03:01,020 Only a tiny portion of government is elected, the lawmaking body. 38 00:03:01,860 --> 00:03:04,560 Government is a vast array of departments and agencies. 39 00:03:05,100 --> 00:03:08,280 some of whom are clandestine, none of whom are democratic. 40 00:03:09,420 --> 00:03:13,620 They exist as the managerial arms for a fascist enterprise. 41 00:03:14,820 --> 00:03:16,260 Imperialism is undeniable. 42 00:03:18,100 --> 00:03:21,660 Parasites always flock to the most powerful hosts. States lie. 43 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,400 Not a decade has gone by without grand deception, covert criminality, and 44 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:27,400 conspiracy. 45 00:03:27,660 --> 00:03:31,940 To lessen the shock of how the US and foreign insiders would conspire to 46 00:03:31,940 --> 00:03:35,340 9 -11, one simply has to realize that this is nothing new. 47 00:03:48,300 --> 00:03:53,020 It was the continuation of a long series of covert activities and policies which 48 00:03:53,020 --> 00:03:54,020 press on today. 49 00:03:56,230 --> 00:03:59,850 Terrorism and sectarian violence are the desired outcomes. 50 00:04:00,530 --> 00:04:06,410 The transition to the war on terror from the Cold War all got jump -started with 51 00:04:06,410 --> 00:04:07,189 9 -11. 52 00:04:07,190 --> 00:04:11,350 The parasites, the neocons, manipulated power by way of deception. 53 00:04:11,650 --> 00:04:14,990 This group is not secret or invisible, clever or invincible. 54 00:04:15,370 --> 00:04:21,070 They simply enjoy a near total monopoly in mass media, which is why we need 55 00:04:21,070 --> 00:04:24,550 independent films to expose their lies and deceptions. 56 00:04:25,290 --> 00:04:27,990 For all war begins with deception. 57 00:04:28,730 --> 00:04:33,750 Every time the CIA or any other intelligence agency does a covert 58 00:04:34,010 --> 00:04:35,170 that's a conspiracy. 59 00:04:35,570 --> 00:04:39,890 It's a bunch of people getting together in secret to do something illegal and 60 00:04:39,890 --> 00:04:41,090 lying to everyone else. 61 00:04:41,390 --> 00:04:44,770 They took the babies out of incubators. 62 00:04:44,990 --> 00:04:47,430 We don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud. 63 00:04:48,010 --> 00:04:54,170 There is no question whatsoever that Saddam is seeking and is working. 64 00:04:55,020 --> 00:04:59,220 and is advancing towards the development of nuclear weapons. No question 65 00:04:59,220 --> 00:05:00,220 whatsoever. 66 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:05,220 In order to better understand 9 -11 and the empire's latest rationale for its 67 00:05:05,220 --> 00:05:10,400 activity, the war on terror, it's good to examine some past rationales such as 68 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:15,480 fighting communism and to have an overview on the methods of finance, 69 00:05:15,900 --> 00:05:19,580 execution, and cover -up of covert warfare. 70 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,960 Prolonged conflicts were predicated on triggers. 71 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,200 For example, 72 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:29,120 The Vietnam War was an event, and the Gulf of Tonkin was the trigger. The 73 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:33,480 invasions and occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq were triggered by 9 -11. 74 00:05:38,580 --> 00:05:42,680 To better understand the empire's relationships with ISIS and Al -Qaeda in 75 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:47,700 recent times, it is worth it to go back to the Iran -Contra operation, and to 76 00:05:47,700 --> 00:05:52,080 better understand the methods used in Iran -Contra, turn the pages back to the 77 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:53,080 Banana Wars. 78 00:05:54,090 --> 00:05:57,530 which were themselves extensions of the Indian Wars, perhaps the largest 79 00:05:57,530 --> 00:05:59,170 genocide in the history of the world. 80 00:06:00,030 --> 00:06:05,110 For most of what the American regime claims it does, the opposite is true. 81 00:06:05,110 --> 00:06:11,010 war on drugs or terrorism, fighting for democracy or to defend the country, it's 82 00:06:11,010 --> 00:06:13,070 usually the complete reverse of the truth. 83 00:06:14,570 --> 00:06:20,230 When you see the historical nature of war and deception, covert and overt, 84 00:06:20,230 --> 00:06:22,750 happened on 9 -11 is far less shocking. 85 00:06:23,210 --> 00:06:26,210 A clear pattern will emerge from studying history. 86 00:06:26,570 --> 00:06:31,230 There are a lot of asinine conspiracies about many things, but that is not a 87 00:06:31,230 --> 00:06:33,450 reason to reject conspiracy categorically. 88 00:06:33,730 --> 00:06:38,510 For example, the Iran -Contra affair was a massive government conspiracy that 89 00:06:38,510 --> 00:06:40,590 was hidden from the press and public for years. 90 00:06:40,810 --> 00:06:45,170 It happened in my lifetime, and it involved billions of dollars and 91 00:06:45,170 --> 00:06:49,450 countries. This was a case where one part of the government didn't even know 92 00:06:49,450 --> 00:06:51,190 what another part of the government was doing. 93 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:53,900 Tens of thousands of people were murdered. 94 00:06:54,180 --> 00:06:58,860 Multiple countries in Central America, as well as Iran and Israel, were 95 00:06:58,860 --> 00:07:03,200 involved. And yet it was kept secret from the media, or perhaps by the media, 96 00:07:03,300 --> 00:07:04,300 for years. 97 00:07:04,540 --> 00:07:08,480 Not only was it possible to hide this from the public, most of the government 98 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,720 was unaware of the activities of a small cabal from within. 99 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:16,480 Despite long congressional hearings into the illegal weapons trade, the full 100 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,180 scope of the money laundering through narcotics trafficking inside the United 101 00:07:20,180 --> 00:07:23,140 States would not be revealed for another decade. 102 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,240 Covert actions and deception in the press aren't irregular. 103 00:07:36,540 --> 00:07:37,540 They're normal. 104 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:44,720 Much has been said about the CIA facilitating rather than preventing the 105 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:49,730 flow of narcotics, the profits of which are used to finance political dissent 106 00:07:49,730 --> 00:07:50,930 and covert mercenaries. 107 00:07:51,610 --> 00:07:56,730 But before the Iran -Contra affair exposed this gambit to the world, before 108 00:07:56,730 --> 00:08:02,010 CIA or even the OSS, the relationship between narcotics traffickers, the U .S. 109 00:08:02,030 --> 00:08:04,630 government, and organized crime already existed. 110 00:08:05,830 --> 00:08:10,570 Long before the CIA was working with Sam Giacana in the Chicago outfit, or 111 00:08:10,570 --> 00:08:14,640 Costello and Lansky of the New York Mafia, before Traficante Jr. 112 00:08:14,980 --> 00:08:17,100 or the Marcello brothers were even on the scene. 113 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:22,780 Before the CIA or the Cold War, the State Department was running the drug 114 00:08:22,780 --> 00:08:27,020 behalf of corporate America's interests in creating and sustaining banana 115 00:08:27,020 --> 00:08:28,840 republics in the Third World. 116 00:08:29,700 --> 00:08:31,220 What is a banana republic? 117 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,240 Again, a little history is needed. 118 00:08:34,059 --> 00:08:39,020 Following the Spanish -American War in 1898, the victorious United States 119 00:08:39,020 --> 00:08:42,500 engaged in a series of military conflicts and occupations. 120 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,040 in Central America and the Caribbean up until 1934. 121 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,420 These are collectively referred to as the Banana Wars. 122 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:55,540 The Banana Wars are one of many missing chapters in U .S. school textbook 123 00:08:55,540 --> 00:09:01,280 history. The term comes from the term Banana Republic, which describes the 124 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,360 exploitive nature, particularly over exports, in U .S.-dominated Latin 125 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:06,360 countries. 126 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:11,980 North Carolina writer O. Henry William Sidney Porter coined the term in The 127 00:09:11,980 --> 00:09:16,920 Banana Republic, in his book Cabbages and Kings, 1904, to describe his 128 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,140 experiences in Honduras. 129 00:09:18,940 --> 00:09:22,020 In 1934, the Banana Wars were over. 130 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:26,020 The U .S. implemented what it called the Good Neighbors Policy. 131 00:09:26,560 --> 00:09:30,260 This was a policy change to puppet governments from occupation. 132 00:09:30,620 --> 00:09:35,340 Hitler had been voted Chancellor in 1933 and was then the Fuhrer in 1934. 133 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,080 The U .S. decided it was more expedient and efficient. 134 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:44,920 to end military occupation and change to puppet governments as a form of 135 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,860 exploitation throughout Latin America. 136 00:09:47,180 --> 00:09:51,940 This is just one of many such cases involving the Federal Bureau of 137 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,580 the State Department, the Mafia, drugs, guns, and money. 138 00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:00,940 Just four years after the formation of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics after 139 00:10:00,940 --> 00:10:06,960 Rothstein fallout, one of its agents, Maurice Helbrandt, was stumbled across a 140 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:08,580 major operation out of Louisiana. 141 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:15,380 The scandal involved the Mafia, the TACA, the government of Honduras, and 142 00:10:15,380 --> 00:10:16,380 criminals in Louisiana. 143 00:10:17,460 --> 00:10:24,320 TACA was a cargo airliner owned by Lowell Eurex from New Zealand and 144 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,760 Raymond J. Kennett. They used a furniture company in Louisiana as a 145 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:34,080 Furniture, run by Isidore Slobrowski, himself involved in narcotics trade. 146 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,480 They were getting drugs from Honduras and selling them to the New Orleans Mob 147 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,820 Syndicate, whose boss was Sam Carolla, predecessor of Carlos Mochelo. 148 00:10:43,420 --> 00:10:49,260 The Carolla Syndicate sold the drugs to supply arms to Jose Marina Julian Vales 149 00:10:49,260 --> 00:10:51,520 to support a rebellion in Honduras. 150 00:10:51,860 --> 00:10:58,560 However, President Fibrocino Carillas Andino, who Julian opposed, also turned 151 00:10:58,560 --> 00:11:03,240 selling drugs and also was using the TACA for transport. 152 00:11:03,930 --> 00:11:08,890 Federal Bureau of Narcotics agent Maurice Hellbrant was an American who 153 00:11:08,890 --> 00:11:12,210 served as a spy for the British in Palestine during World War I. 154 00:11:12,950 --> 00:11:16,150 He was from New York, so he returned to Brooklyn after the war. 155 00:11:16,470 --> 00:11:22,090 He got a job working under Henry Anslinger at the Federal Bureau of 156 00:11:22,350 --> 00:11:26,770 Hellbrant stumbled over this international arms for drugs ordeal 157 00:11:26,770 --> 00:11:31,990 and the Louisiana mob and the TACA serendipitously, only to discover... 158 00:11:32,330 --> 00:11:34,010 that they had U .S. government protection. 159 00:11:35,630 --> 00:11:40,090 Using an informant, Halbrant caught a middleman, Goindad Aguilera, selling 160 00:11:40,090 --> 00:11:41,090 heroin. 161 00:11:41,250 --> 00:11:46,250 Upon searching his house, he uncovered $100 ,000 worth of heroin and a list of 162 00:11:46,250 --> 00:11:47,470 guns to buy with the money. 163 00:11:48,030 --> 00:11:53,070 The trial led to the TACA manager, Ray J. Kennett, who had also been arrested 164 00:11:53,070 --> 00:11:54,610 selling heroin in the past. 165 00:11:54,850 --> 00:11:58,590 However, Kennett got a reduced sentence, and then the New Orleans Chief of 166 00:11:58,590 --> 00:12:03,040 Police, Guy Maloney, coincidentally took a job offer in Honduras as their 167 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,040 arsenal inspector. 168 00:12:04,220 --> 00:12:05,560 It was a payoff. 169 00:12:05,980 --> 00:12:10,600 The State Department ordered that all surveillance of TACA curtailed, and in 170 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:15,760 1936, Correas won the election and continued smuggling drugs, with the 171 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,680 Bureau of Narcotics intentionally looking the other way. 172 00:12:19,540 --> 00:12:25,800 The TACA then opened cargo services in Costa Rica, Guatemala, El Salvador, and 173 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:30,920 Nicaragua. The drug operation was left alone as the U .S. government and its 174 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,780 corporate backers preferred the political policies of Correos and 175 00:12:35,220 --> 00:12:39,260 Honduras would later serve as the U .S. launching pad into Central America. 176 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,480 It was the original banana republic. 177 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,720 Sam Carolla was convicted of murder after he killed a Federal Bureau of 178 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:53,640 Narcotics agent, Cecil Moore. You can imagine how this infuriated Hal Bryant 179 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,740 Anslinger. But after two years served, Carolla got a pardon from Louisiana 180 00:12:57,740 --> 00:13:02,520 Governor O .K. Allen, whom he had bribed with the heroin money, which was 181 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:08,100 protected. His heroin racket was protected since his supplier was the 182 00:13:08,100 --> 00:13:11,520 was in league with the U .S. corporately -backed president of Honduras. 183 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:17,840 As a consequence, New Orleans Mob was able to funnel its drug money profits 184 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:23,540 more legit and illegit businesses, including casinos in the U .S. and Cuba, 185 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,520 shared with the New York Mafia. 186 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:32,300 Costello, Lansky, Luciano, and Louis Picalter, who it turns out was even more 187 00:13:32,300 --> 00:13:38,280 actively working with the U .S. government and also had protection, just 188 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,860 their predecessor Rothstein had done before with his involvement in the 189 00:13:41,860 --> 00:13:46,840 narcotics division as well as the Green Gang in China and criminal mafia in 190 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:47,840 France. 191 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:54,000 You can see this pattern as it starts small where the mob plausible 192 00:13:54,890 --> 00:13:59,530 certain corporate companies for transport, and the U .S. government and 193 00:13:59,530 --> 00:14:04,070 international governments like Honduras, or in the case of Iran -Contra, Iran 194 00:14:04,070 --> 00:14:05,070 and Israel. 195 00:14:05,190 --> 00:14:12,070 And later, we find out in the Luciano Project, China and France work together 196 00:14:12,070 --> 00:14:18,010 manage and sell drugs, opium in particular, illegal arms, and in between 197 00:14:18,010 --> 00:14:23,710 of murders to prop up Those the U .S. government finds far politically in line 198 00:14:23,710 --> 00:14:24,710 with its policies. 199 00:14:24,990 --> 00:14:30,110 Central America enjoyed a series of assassinations and coups prompted by the 200 00:14:30,110 --> 00:14:34,290 CIA, who eventually will overtake the Federal Bureau of Narcotics. 201 00:14:34,690 --> 00:14:39,250 The new assault on former Banana Republics during the Cold War era 202 00:14:39,250 --> 00:14:41,170 pretext to fighting communism. 203 00:14:41,410 --> 00:14:46,070 But this was disingenuous. See Operation Washtub as a blatant example. 204 00:14:46,770 --> 00:14:49,050 In reality, it was just a continuation. 205 00:14:49,980 --> 00:14:51,480 of the old banana wars. 206 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:57,800 Now, the CIA runs the drug trade. But this relationship has always existed 207 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:02,480 between organized crime, the U .S. government, and international partners 208 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:03,480 corporations. 209 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:09,100 Just as the Contras were used to kill Nicaraguans, the Mafia was used to run 210 00:15:09,100 --> 00:15:10,100 drugs for Honduras. 211 00:15:10,660 --> 00:15:14,560 You won't see any of this on the TACA's Wikipedia page. 212 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,520 They continued to smuggle drugs. 213 00:15:19,070 --> 00:15:24,570 for decades, unimpeded, because of its relations with the government of 214 00:15:24,570 --> 00:15:29,270 Louisiana, the U .S. government, and of course the government in Honduras, later 215 00:15:29,270 --> 00:15:31,970 El Salvador, and other Central American nations. 216 00:15:33,190 --> 00:15:38,930 Transportes Ero Centro Americanos went on to procure fat contracts from 217 00:15:39,190 --> 00:15:42,730 then Boeing, and of course, Lockheed Martin. 218 00:15:43,070 --> 00:15:45,790 The war on drugs is not sincere. 219 00:15:46,430 --> 00:15:48,130 It is more of a... 220 00:15:48,430 --> 00:15:53,230 War on managing drugs and who gets the profits and who does not. 221 00:15:54,570 --> 00:16:00,710 The British Empire financed itself with opium products, as have the Chinese and 222 00:16:00,710 --> 00:16:06,630 others. So when you look at the opium liberated from Afghanistan today, you 223 00:16:06,630 --> 00:16:11,190 should take a deeper look into history of the opium trade and how it's really 224 00:16:11,190 --> 00:16:15,150 been managed and how there is a partnership between organized crime, 225 00:16:15,850 --> 00:16:22,170 or warlords, or cartel bosses, or terrorist factions, and the U .S. 226 00:16:22,310 --> 00:16:26,990 None of the major players are independent from intelligence agencies. 227 00:16:27,910 --> 00:16:32,530 Not for drugs or arms, including ISIS. 228 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:39,480 In order to transition to the war of terrorism and covertly support narcotics 229 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,920 -funded Wahhabi cannon fodder as proxy forces to tear apart and prevent any 230 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:48,200 economic or military challenge from arising to threaten U .S. hegemony in 231 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,040 Middle East, controlling the Golden Crescent was a must. 232 00:16:51,660 --> 00:16:55,140 Re -invading Vietnam or Indochina was politically not feasible. 233 00:16:55,700 --> 00:16:59,000 Afghanistan would have to be occupied and its opium secured. 234 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,840 Al -Qaeda or Al -Qaeda affiliates later. 235 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:06,060 would need a big event in order to become the everlasting pretext for 236 00:17:06,060 --> 00:17:07,060 intervention. 237 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:12,680 Black markets serve as cover and explanations for black operations. 238 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,359 A little historical background is necessary. 239 00:17:16,079 --> 00:17:20,319 From its inception, the Federal Bureau of Narcotics and later the CIA have 240 00:17:20,319 --> 00:17:21,819 worked hand in glove with the underworld. 241 00:17:22,740 --> 00:17:26,859 Because of the Cold War and anti -communist factions largely financing 242 00:17:26,859 --> 00:17:33,370 forces with narcotics, such as KMT, in China, U .S. agencies have never been in 243 00:17:33,370 --> 00:17:37,690 the business of a war on drugs, but rather in the business of drug 244 00:17:38,350 --> 00:17:42,070 The upper echelons of the mafia recognized quickly that they'd never be 245 00:17:42,070 --> 00:17:46,090 to trial over narcotics trafficking so long as they incorporated anti 246 00:17:46,090 --> 00:17:47,430 factions as their suppliers. 247 00:17:48,810 --> 00:17:53,170 They did this first with China and later Cuba. This is how and why the organized 248 00:17:53,170 --> 00:17:57,330 crime was involved with anti -Castro Cubans and was approached by 249 00:17:57,330 --> 00:17:58,590 agencies of the government. 250 00:17:59,150 --> 00:18:02,790 The CIA needed plausible deniability and the dissidents needed the mob's 251 00:18:02,790 --> 00:18:03,790 distribution. 252 00:18:03,910 --> 00:18:05,830 This was a system that Kennedy disrupted. 253 00:18:07,550 --> 00:18:11,970 Today, the U .S. and Israel also finance Wahhabi religious fanatics by 254 00:18:11,970 --> 00:18:16,570 laundering money through narcotics, religious schools, aid to moderates, 255 00:18:16,650 --> 00:18:19,310 language schools, and a slew of other fronts and NGOs. 256 00:18:20,210 --> 00:18:25,110 The entire war on drugs and the war on terror are not what they appear to be. 257 00:18:25,670 --> 00:18:27,970 Everything is in aim for Western hegemony. 258 00:18:28,430 --> 00:18:29,510 and a corporate oligarchy. 259 00:18:30,950 --> 00:18:33,750 Assisting murderers and criminals doesn't bother anyone. 260 00:18:36,090 --> 00:18:41,310 One of the CIA's earliest coup d 'etats, Operation Ajax in Iran, was as much 261 00:18:41,310 --> 00:18:43,370 about opium as it was oil. 262 00:18:43,930 --> 00:18:46,950 The Shah's family personally owned vast poppy fields. 263 00:18:47,910 --> 00:18:51,390 Several of his family members were busted and released, quietly. 264 00:18:52,110 --> 00:18:56,490 To justify their existence, the Federal Bureau of Narcotics would arrest hapless 265 00:18:56,490 --> 00:18:57,950 minorities from time to time. 266 00:18:58,430 --> 00:19:02,750 But the real drug running and weapons running was overseen by the intelligence 267 00:19:02,750 --> 00:19:03,750 agencies themselves. 268 00:19:04,910 --> 00:19:09,470 Because of the international nature of the trade, the CIA has always worked 269 00:19:09,470 --> 00:19:10,950 closely with foreign agencies. 270 00:19:11,630 --> 00:19:17,270 This long -standing alliance is vital to understanding how false flags are often 271 00:19:17,270 --> 00:19:18,270 international. 272 00:19:26,780 --> 00:19:28,320 and financing dissidents. 273 00:19:30,260 --> 00:19:34,560 When patriots expose how blatantly obvious it is that there is a cover -up, 274 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:39,280 regardless of how much evidence there is, the criminal's last refuge is to 275 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:40,920 behind the stigma of conspiracy. 276 00:19:41,860 --> 00:19:45,640 They want you to ignore history in favor of beliefs based on authority. 277 00:19:46,260 --> 00:19:49,460 Off -the -wall conspiracies do not help lift this stigma. 278 00:19:52,910 --> 00:19:58,210 CIA finances operations with illegal arms and drug sales, opium from Laos 279 00:19:58,210 --> 00:20:02,730 the Vietnam War in the Golden Triangle, cocaine from Central and South America, 280 00:20:02,890 --> 00:20:05,490 and opium in the Golden Crescent in Afghanistan. 281 00:20:07,150 --> 00:20:11,050 The black market weapons trade and the sale of cocaine and opium are routine 282 00:20:11,050 --> 00:20:15,970 methods to finance black ops, off -the -book operations hidden from oversight. 283 00:20:18,510 --> 00:20:22,010 In fact, some of the same people involved in the Contra operation, 284 00:20:22,010 --> 00:20:26,250 O'Dean and Gorbanifar, have themselves neck deep in the Nasir forgery, which 285 00:20:26,250 --> 00:20:30,250 acted as a central lie of pre -war propaganda about weapons of mass 286 00:20:30,250 --> 00:20:33,270 used as an excuse to launch a preemptive war on Iraq. 287 00:20:33,930 --> 00:20:38,150 A faction called the Continuity of Government was acting with a compartment 288 00:20:38,150 --> 00:20:41,970 the CIA and other intelligence agencies for selective business interests. 289 00:20:44,620 --> 00:20:49,320 And it had made plans to subvert the Constitution of the United States in the 290 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:50,340 event of a disaster. 291 00:20:51,100 --> 00:20:57,720 Tom North, in your work at the NSC, were you not assigned at one time to work on 292 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,580 plans for the continuity of government in the event of a major disaster? 293 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:08,580 Mr. Chairman, I believe that question touches upon 294 00:21:08,580 --> 00:21:11,460 a highly sensitive and classified area. 295 00:21:12,360 --> 00:21:16,880 So may I request that you not touch upon that, sir. 296 00:21:17,460 --> 00:21:21,340 That was Senator Daniel Inouye, AIPAC's most loyal man. 297 00:21:21,540 --> 00:21:24,180 His very first job was selling Israeli war bonds. 298 00:21:24,380 --> 00:21:28,220 He never allowed Israel to be mentioned. Instead, as with the plane affair and 9 299 00:21:28,220 --> 00:21:30,760 -11, they were simply referred to as foreign country, eh? 300 00:21:31,360 --> 00:21:35,200 However, there was no mystery that a cabal of Americans and Israelis were 301 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,740 working together. We knew for a fact they were smuggling U .S. weapons into 302 00:21:38,740 --> 00:21:41,080 Iran, breaking the Arms Export Control Act. 303 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:42,740 as far back as 1980. 304 00:21:43,100 --> 00:21:47,080 The most crippling evidence being an Israeli chartered plane full of U .S. 305 00:21:47,100 --> 00:21:49,600 weapons crashed in Russia, bound for Iran. 306 00:21:49,860 --> 00:21:54,180 Robert McFarland, Counselor to the Secretary of State, received a memo, now 307 00:21:54,180 --> 00:21:58,580 uncovered, from Paul Wolfowitz, then the State Department's Director of Policy 308 00:21:58,580 --> 00:22:03,560 Planning, stating, For this dialogue to be fruitful, it must remain restricted 309 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,200 to an extraordinarily small number of people. 310 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,200 He was talking about dialogue and a deal with Israel. 311 00:22:10,890 --> 00:22:15,450 as Nicholas Villalete, Assistant Secretary of State for the Middle East, 312 00:22:15,470 --> 00:22:17,110 uncovered in his investigation. 313 00:22:17,590 --> 00:22:21,710 Paul Wolfowitz went on to become Deputy Secretary of Defense, again working with 314 00:22:21,710 --> 00:22:26,050 an Israeli partisan cabal in 2001 during the September 11th attacks. 315 00:22:26,690 --> 00:22:31,850 And he was an architect for the Second Iraq War, lying about that and 9 -11, as 316 00:22:31,850 --> 00:22:36,390 will be further explored later. In a future film, The Iran Contra Deception, 317 00:22:36,390 --> 00:22:40,620 will argue that the October surprise and the Iran -Contra affair were one 318 00:22:40,620 --> 00:22:45,720 continuous plan whose players overlap on both sides of the timeline with the 9 319 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:50,860 -11 attacks and the Kennedy assassinations, as Miles Copeland dubbed 320 00:22:50,860 --> 00:22:52,040 CIA within the CIA. 321 00:22:52,860 --> 00:22:58,320 Conspiracies happen, covert war is real, and America must uncover this hidden 322 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:02,520 history. It is absolutely vital to understand that the U .S. and the 323 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,080 have a long history of secret covert warfare together. 324 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:11,880 not excluding attacking America itself, as in the case of the USS Liberty. 325 00:23:12,180 --> 00:23:16,020 I want to make the case for secrecy in government when it comes to the conduct 326 00:23:16,020 --> 00:23:20,160 of national security affairs, and possibly for deception where that's 327 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:24,100 appropriate. You know, Winston Churchill said during World War II that in 328 00:23:24,100 --> 00:23:28,860 wartime, truth is so important it should be surrounded by a bodyguard of lies. 329 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:30,580 Do you really believe that? Absolutely. 330 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,680 Iran -Contra was a conspiracy. 331 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,800 National Security Advisor John Poindexter was convicted of conspiracy. 332 00:23:37,420 --> 00:23:42,840 Here we had a massive geopolitical, covert, and illegal operation done by a 333 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:47,020 faction within the American government concentrated in the unelected offices of 334 00:23:47,020 --> 00:23:52,280 government working jointly with a faction in Israel to illegally sell arms 335 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:57,540 narcotics in order to prolong a war and produce profits to pay off the Contras 336 00:23:57,540 --> 00:23:59,360 to fight the Santinistas in Nicaragua. 337 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,000 And the entire time... 338 00:24:02,350 --> 00:24:06,530 The Americans and Israelis were working together to do this. The Israelis were 339 00:24:06,530 --> 00:24:09,690 spying on the United States and stealing nuclear secrets. 340 00:24:10,250 --> 00:24:15,270 It wasn't until after Iran -Contra fell apart that Jonathan Pollard was outed as 341 00:24:15,270 --> 00:24:17,070 a spy for Israel and thrown in jail. 342 00:24:18,130 --> 00:24:23,570 Later, in the build -up to 9 -11, once again, we had a cabal within the U .S., 343 00:24:23,570 --> 00:24:26,770 concentrated in the offices of the Vice President and the Defense Department, 344 00:24:27,110 --> 00:24:29,890 working with Israel to set up this event. 345 00:24:30,360 --> 00:24:35,200 And the entire time, again, Israel was spying on the United States and stealing 346 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:36,500 nuclear technology. 347 00:24:37,820 --> 00:24:42,720 Then, if that wasn't enough, the same men who whitewashed the investigation 348 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:47,500 Iran -Contra were chosen again to whitewash the investigation into 9 -11. 349 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,800 That is why I am bringing up Iran -Contra and Israel. 350 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,020 The Iran -Contra affair was admitted. 351 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,760 However, many of the criminals involved were not held accountable. 352 00:24:59,290 --> 00:25:03,770 They were simply given presidential pardon, either by Bush Jr. or Bill 353 00:25:04,310 --> 00:25:08,930 And the commission chosen to investigate the affair was actually chosen to cover 354 00:25:08,930 --> 00:25:09,729 it up. 355 00:25:09,730 --> 00:25:12,910 This pattern of crime and damage control continues. 356 00:25:14,410 --> 00:25:16,790 Richard Pearl, next face Saddam Hussein? 357 00:25:16,990 --> 00:25:17,990 Absolutely. 358 00:25:18,190 --> 00:25:21,530 One person close to the debate said to me this week that it's no longer a 359 00:25:21,530 --> 00:25:24,950 question of if, it's a question of how we go after Saddam Hussein. 360 00:25:25,290 --> 00:25:28,330 It is crucial to understand the national security state. 361 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:32,920 and its capacities before discussing 9 -11 and the lies about preemptive wars. 362 00:25:36,700 --> 00:25:41,120 A lead investigator into Iran -Contra gave most of the key suspects immunity. 363 00:25:41,740 --> 00:25:43,400 His name was Lee Hamilton. 364 00:25:43,780 --> 00:25:47,720 Lee Hamilton was later chosen to be the co -chairman of the 9 -11 Commission. 365 00:25:48,120 --> 00:25:53,240 The 9 -11 Commission was a complete farce and a total whitewash, but we'll 366 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:54,480 digging into this bunch later. 367 00:25:55,180 --> 00:25:59,000 Let's just say Lee Hamilton had experience covering for the national 368 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,000 state. 369 00:26:10,100 --> 00:26:14,140 On the House Select Committee to investigate illegal arms trades with 370 00:26:14,140 --> 00:26:18,920 Iran was the ranking Republican, Dick Cheney. 371 00:26:19,340 --> 00:26:23,140 Later made Secretary of Defense after the Senate refused to confirm alcoholic 372 00:26:23,140 --> 00:26:25,400 John Tower of the Tower Commission whitewashed. 373 00:26:25,900 --> 00:26:30,520 Dick Cheney, of course, would serve as Vice President for George Bush's son, 374 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,000 the President during 9 -11. 375 00:26:33,460 --> 00:26:36,980 These crooks continued to work in government regardless of what 376 00:26:36,980 --> 00:26:37,980 was in charge. 377 00:26:38,460 --> 00:26:43,720 And if you're still under the delusion that the left or right matter, you won't 378 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,180 be by the end of this film. 379 00:26:45,580 --> 00:26:49,780 The CIA and Mossad have conducted countless covert operations and false 380 00:26:49,940 --> 00:26:50,980 too many to name. 381 00:26:51,620 --> 00:26:53,580 Heads of state have been assassinated. 382 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:55,140 Puppets have been installed. 383 00:27:23,690 --> 00:27:27,830 The security state's personal interests were thinly cloaked under the guise of 384 00:27:27,830 --> 00:27:29,870 fighting communism, or now, terrorism. 385 00:27:30,330 --> 00:27:34,970 The rest assured the invasion of Afghanistan had nothing to do with 386 00:27:34,970 --> 00:27:39,050 Osama bin Laden or 9 -11, and invading Iraq even less. 387 00:27:40,050 --> 00:27:44,090 Invading Iraq under such a pretext, even if one swallowed the official version, 388 00:27:44,350 --> 00:27:47,530 would be as silly as invading Mexico after Pearl Harbor. 389 00:27:48,410 --> 00:27:52,210 Of course, one would think differently after watching the mass media in the run 390 00:27:52,210 --> 00:27:53,210 -up to the war. 391 00:27:54,350 --> 00:27:59,070 The press is a PR machine for the Pentagon. They acted as nothing but 392 00:27:59,070 --> 00:28:01,050 heads for Pentagon talking points. 393 00:28:01,650 --> 00:28:06,690 The state -run media, if it reports a scandal at all, reports a filtered 394 00:28:06,690 --> 00:28:07,449 of it. 395 00:28:07,450 --> 00:28:12,750 In the state -run education, well, we're lucky if our children can speak their 396 00:28:12,750 --> 00:28:13,790 own native language. 397 00:28:15,350 --> 00:28:19,230 It is crucial for people to understand this, because one of the reasons they 398 00:28:19,230 --> 00:28:22,250 reject conspiracy theories about 9 -11 or about Iraq 399 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,420 is because they just can't fathom that it could be done. 400 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,400 They assume wrongly that the media would say something. 401 00:28:30,820 --> 00:28:36,780 That the Baghdad regime is a serious danger to world peace. 402 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:41,180 Weapons of mass destruction in the hands of Saddam Hussein, plus his known 403 00:28:41,180 --> 00:28:45,740 contact with terrorists, including al -Qaeda terrorists, is simply a threat 404 00:28:45,740 --> 00:28:47,160 large to continue to tolerate. 405 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,680 Millions protested the Iraq war before it began, but were ignored in the media. 406 00:28:53,060 --> 00:28:57,600 Unfortunately, alternative media has been polluted by well -poisoning 407 00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:58,600 and alarmists. 408 00:28:59,020 --> 00:29:03,620 Purposely promoting the asinine, obfuscates investigation, poisons 409 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,340 and misdirects valuable time and research. 410 00:29:07,210 --> 00:29:10,330 State deception and conspiracy aren't rare. 411 00:29:10,570 --> 00:29:11,570 They're normal. 412 00:29:11,950 --> 00:29:16,970 Blindly believing your TV is irresponsible and it's stupid. There's 413 00:29:16,970 --> 00:29:20,690 kooky or funny about covert warfare or assassinations. 414 00:29:21,070 --> 00:29:24,610 It deserves open scrutiny and sincere investigation. 415 00:29:25,250 --> 00:29:29,590 To pretend that America's foreign policy is based on benevolence is 416 00:29:29,590 --> 00:29:35,380 outstandingly ignorant, and to deny the actuality of covert actions and massive 417 00:29:35,380 --> 00:29:37,320 deceptions is equally as naive. 418 00:29:37,660 --> 00:29:41,920 There are many examples of successful conspiracies and hoaxes. 419 00:29:44,940 --> 00:29:47,300 And we're not just talking about assassinations. 420 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,040 The U .S. has been able to kill millions using covert warfare. 421 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:55,860 See here John Stockwell talk about the CIA's wars on the third world. 422 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:03,040 And we wound up creating the golden triangle in which the CIA, Air America 423 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:07,890 airplanes, We're flying in arms to our allies and flying back out with the 424 00:30:07,890 --> 00:30:12,370 heroin. We launched the largest, this is something that Jimmy Carter did, 425 00:30:12,470 --> 00:30:17,250 Admiral Turner brags about it, the operation in Afghanistan. 426 00:30:18,070 --> 00:30:22,850 Biggest single operation, I'm told, in the history of the CIA secret war. And 427 00:30:22,850 --> 00:30:26,750 sure enough, very quickly we produced the Golden Crescent, which is still the 428 00:30:26,750 --> 00:30:28,970 largest source of heroin perhaps in the world today. 429 00:30:29,550 --> 00:30:33,910 Trying to summarize this Third World War that the CIA, the U .S. National 430 00:30:33,910 --> 00:30:38,170 Security Complex, with the military all interwoven in it in many different ways, 431 00:30:38,370 --> 00:30:43,610 has been waging, let me just put it this way, the best heads that I coordinate 432 00:30:43,610 --> 00:30:48,430 with studying this thing, we count at least, minimum figure, 6 million people 433 00:30:48,430 --> 00:30:53,430 who've been killed in this long 40 -year war that we've waged against the people 434 00:30:53,430 --> 00:30:54,430 of the Third World. 435 00:30:54,510 --> 00:30:57,370 6 million people who've been killed. 436 00:31:03,630 --> 00:31:06,990 The Contras were involved with rape, executions, and torture. 437 00:31:07,230 --> 00:31:11,350 They even executed an American journalist, and this was widely seen by 438 00:31:11,350 --> 00:31:12,350 public. 439 00:31:13,770 --> 00:31:18,950 And so, publicly, the U .S. denounced them and condemned their actions. 440 00:31:19,170 --> 00:31:24,090 But privately, their government, under the Reagan administration, continued to 441 00:31:24,090 --> 00:31:25,090 aid them in secret. 442 00:31:26,700 --> 00:31:30,500 37 ,000 Nicaraguans were murdered. 443 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,600 Iran -Contra took the Kissinger model to new heights. 444 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:44,040 Never before had the military and intelligence agencies sought so many 445 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,500 sector sources of finance to such a degree. 446 00:31:47,700 --> 00:31:51,340 And in keeping with the distancing factor of the old British system of 447 00:31:51,340 --> 00:31:56,190 privateering, Combined with the global arms industry market, the U .S. had no 448 00:31:56,190 --> 00:31:59,330 shortage of willing partners to needlessly kill for profit. 449 00:32:01,010 --> 00:32:06,030 The fact that it was done showed a new step in the magnitude and capacity for 450 00:32:06,030 --> 00:32:11,250 multinational covert activity completely divorced from moral limits or even 451 00:32:11,250 --> 00:32:13,110 common interests other than profit. 452 00:32:15,150 --> 00:32:19,190 George Bush Sr. was the director when the CIA was preparing intelligence cells 453 00:32:19,190 --> 00:32:23,490 in Pakistan and Afghanistan to fight a proxy war with the Soviet Union in 454 00:32:23,490 --> 00:32:26,490 Afghanistan. Call them modern privateers. 455 00:32:26,690 --> 00:32:30,310 It's worth it to take the time to explain what a privateer is. 456 00:32:30,950 --> 00:32:35,670 Back in the day when pirates were the great outlaws, a country could attack 457 00:32:35,670 --> 00:32:40,910 another country and risk war, or they could covertly pay pirates to do it, 458 00:32:40,910 --> 00:32:42,130 would make them privateers. 459 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:46,680 For example, if the British wanted to attack a Spanish ship coming out of the 460 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:50,780 Caribbean, they couldn't do it with an English ship with an English flag 461 00:32:50,780 --> 00:32:51,780 that could start a war. 462 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:53,780 And at that time, Spain was really strong. 463 00:32:54,220 --> 00:32:58,320 So what they could do is pay off a pirate to do it. The pirate, who has a 464 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:03,720 relationship to the royals, would be sharing their loot and paid by the state 465 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:08,040 secretly. They would never attack British ships. They would only attack 466 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:09,580 ships, French, Spanish, whatever. 467 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:14,100 And if a pirate attacks the ship and gets caught, they hang. 468 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,520 No war. He did it as an individual. 469 00:33:16,980 --> 00:33:21,120 There's nothing they can do about it. This is a way the British could 470 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:25,160 attack Spanish ships covertly through privateers. 471 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:30,940 All the Spanish could do was to continue to routinely capture individual 472 00:33:30,940 --> 00:33:32,940 pirates, try them, and hang them. 473 00:33:33,140 --> 00:33:36,500 And the British, of course, would act like they were trying to fight pirates 474 00:33:36,500 --> 00:33:38,660 too. The whole time, however... 475 00:33:38,890 --> 00:33:43,450 They had their own payroll with their own pirates who attacked who they asked 476 00:33:43,450 --> 00:33:44,450 them to attack. 477 00:33:44,810 --> 00:33:50,250 This system of privateering is exactly how our modern terrorist cells work. 478 00:33:50,710 --> 00:33:56,090 The United States and other nations payroll their own terrorist groups, such 479 00:33:56,090 --> 00:33:57,090 Al -Qaeda. 480 00:33:57,190 --> 00:34:01,390 They'll attack the Russians in Afghanistan. They'll attack the Russians 481 00:34:01,390 --> 00:34:05,330 Chechnya. They'll fight for us in Bosnia and Kosovo and wherever we tell them 482 00:34:05,330 --> 00:34:09,540 to. including the United States itself in a false flag operation. 483 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:14,440 If a terrorist is caught or killed, so what? They're just a terrorist. 484 00:34:14,820 --> 00:34:19,380 But the fact that the CIA puts them on the payroll means they're our 485 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,060 They are modern privateers. 486 00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:26,600 You can look at Libya or Syria as an example. The U .S. paid off a bunch of 487 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,280 sloppy jihadist religious nuts. 488 00:34:28,940 --> 00:34:32,300 to go and do its fighting for them, and NATO did the air campaign in Libya. 489 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:36,500 They couldn't do the same thing in Syria because of Syria's anti -air defense, 490 00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:40,520 but they've continually, through Qatar, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia, multiple 491 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:45,580 countries, note, as well as the same sloppy jihadists they used in Libya, 492 00:34:45,580 --> 00:34:49,980 the terrorists into Syria, called them the Free Syrian Army, and are 493 00:34:49,980 --> 00:34:54,040 Syria. These are known terrorists, real terrorist organizations, and the 494 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,360 privateers were often real pirates as well. 495 00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:00,480 But there are portions of them, especially in the leadership, which are 496 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,540 paid off by intelligence agencies. 497 00:35:02,900 --> 00:35:07,100 And the money for this comes from the drug war, because Congress can't 498 00:35:07,100 --> 00:35:10,260 appropriate money to say, hey, we're going to go pay terrorists with that. 499 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:14,040 Even the CIA likes to lie. You say, well, why would they lie? 500 00:35:14,260 --> 00:35:14,999 They do. 501 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:19,200 They probably could have just said F .U. World and gone ahead and did a war in 502 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,780 Iraq, but they didn't. They lied about weapons of mass destruction and mobile 503 00:35:22,780 --> 00:35:24,740 labs and anthrax and yada yada. 504 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,720 They're still at the point where they feel like they have to at least try to 505 00:35:28,720 --> 00:35:30,480 to us. And the CIA lies. 506 00:35:30,980 --> 00:35:36,020 Making everything secret also makes everything a lot more expensive and 507 00:35:36,020 --> 00:35:37,120 more manipulatable. 508 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:42,800 It's easy to control the middlemen this way. The opium from Afghanistan is used 509 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:47,040 both in heroin and morphine, so legal and illegal drugs. With this money, the 510 00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:51,060 illegal drugs is where they're using the black budgets for the black operations 511 00:35:51,060 --> 00:35:54,200 to pay off our privateers, to hit targets. 512 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:56,820 without having to risk our own soldiers. 513 00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:02,520 This is why on 9 -11 it was so confusing and strange that the FBI and the NSA 514 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:06,740 and our different alphabet soup organizations were fighting internally 515 00:36:06,740 --> 00:36:10,900 themselves to allow certain terrorists to live openly in the United States and 516 00:36:10,900 --> 00:36:15,400 blocking investigations into them because they were our terrorists. They 517 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,860 a look -away list for our own privateers. 518 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:22,860 Al -Hazmi and Al -Meidhar were examples of this who had been used in the USS 519 00:36:22,860 --> 00:36:23,860 Cole bombing. 520 00:36:24,490 --> 00:36:30,430 Now it's up to you to think, did our privateers double -cross us, or was it 521 00:36:30,430 --> 00:36:31,470 plan the whole time? 522 00:36:31,730 --> 00:36:36,270 You may ask, was that A, incompetence, because our government is incredibly 523 00:36:36,270 --> 00:36:41,170 stupid, B, benevolence, they planned the whole thing and they're genius and they 524 00:36:41,170 --> 00:36:44,030 pulled it out like that, or C... 525 00:36:44,380 --> 00:36:47,580 A portion of them know what's going on, the majority of them are in the dark, 526 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:51,880 and the faction puppeteering everyone else is using them because they surround 527 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:55,300 themselves with dupes and incompetent people on purpose because they're easy 528 00:36:55,300 --> 00:36:57,460 manipulate, and that's how our government works. 529 00:36:57,700 --> 00:36:59,000 I go with option C. 530 00:36:59,540 --> 00:37:04,020 Do you think the U .S. or U .N. forces should have moved into Baghdad? No. 531 00:37:04,510 --> 00:37:05,189 Why not? 532 00:37:05,190 --> 00:37:07,870 Because if we'd gone to Baghdad, we would have been all alone. There 533 00:37:07,870 --> 00:37:10,610 have been anybody else with us. It would have been a U .S. occupation of Iraq. 534 00:37:10,770 --> 00:37:13,610 None of the Arab forces that were willing to fight with us in Kuwait were 535 00:37:13,610 --> 00:37:14,610 willing to invade Iraq. 536 00:37:15,730 --> 00:37:20,450 Once you got to Iraq and took it over and took down Saddam Hussein's 537 00:37:20,590 --> 00:37:21,610 then what are you going to put in its place? 538 00:37:22,390 --> 00:37:25,470 That's a very volatile part of the world. And if you take down the central 539 00:37:25,470 --> 00:37:29,550 government in Iraq, you can easily end up seeing pieces of Iraq fly off part of 540 00:37:29,550 --> 00:37:30,550 it. 541 00:37:30,650 --> 00:37:33,890 The Syrians would like to have to the west, part of eastern Iraq. 542 00:37:34,090 --> 00:37:37,630 The Iranians would like to claim fought over for eight years. In the north, 543 00:37:37,650 --> 00:37:41,150 you've got the Kurds, and if the Kurds spin loose and join with the Kurds in 544 00:37:41,150 --> 00:37:43,550 Turkey, then you threaten the territorial integrity of Turkey. 545 00:37:43,890 --> 00:37:47,330 It's a quagmire if you go that far and try to take over Iraq. 546 00:37:47,590 --> 00:37:48,750 The other thing was casualties. 547 00:37:50,110 --> 00:37:54,610 Everyone was impressed with the fact that we were able to do our job with as 548 00:37:54,610 --> 00:37:55,630 casualties as we had. 549 00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:59,660 But for the 146 Americans killed in action and for their families, it wasn't 550 00:37:59,660 --> 00:38:00,499 cheap war. 551 00:38:00,500 --> 00:38:03,360 And the question for the president in terms of whether or not we went on to 552 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:07,500 Baghdad and took additional casualties in an effort to get Saddam Hussein was 553 00:38:07,500 --> 00:38:11,480 how many additional dead Americans is Saddam worth. And our judgment was not 554 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:12,760 very many, and I think we got it right. 555 00:38:13,420 --> 00:38:19,140 This system of proxy wars and false flags and using mercenaries really 556 00:38:19,140 --> 00:38:20,800 during the time of the Cold War. 557 00:38:21,420 --> 00:38:25,700 Because of the advent of the nuclear bomb and mutual destruction, the only 558 00:38:25,700 --> 00:38:31,060 to really go to war any longer was to attack through proxy and to use 559 00:38:31,060 --> 00:38:34,940 mercenaries and to only attack nations that didn't have the bomb. 560 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:39,020 Of course, they could be backed by other nations that did, which is why everyone 561 00:38:39,020 --> 00:38:43,420 is racing to get nuclear weapons, as we can all see what happened when Gaddafi 562 00:38:43,420 --> 00:38:47,100 decided not to. He ended up getting sodomized by a knife. 563 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:52,660 But if you knock out the drug war, and we're talking about $64 to $65 billion a 564 00:38:52,660 --> 00:38:56,940 year annually from opium out of Afghanistan, you would pull the plug on 565 00:38:56,940 --> 00:38:59,040 finances for a lot of these black operations. 566 00:38:59,500 --> 00:39:03,820 And people can see clearly, there is no grassroots revolution in Syria. 567 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,340 These are paid -off mercenary groups. 568 00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:11,060 And each party and each faction have different interests for wanting to 569 00:39:11,060 --> 00:39:11,848 the regime. 570 00:39:11,850 --> 00:39:16,010 But if you think it's too complicated for multiple nations to get together and 571 00:39:16,010 --> 00:39:19,790 use mercenary groups to attack other nations or themselves, think again. 572 00:39:20,150 --> 00:39:21,890 Syria is a very clear example. 573 00:39:22,390 --> 00:39:27,470 Iran -Contra is another example where multiple nations got together, secretly 574 00:39:27,470 --> 00:39:31,390 created a lot of money selling drugs and weapons, and paid off mercenaries to 575 00:39:31,390 --> 00:39:33,690 fight in the third country, Nicaragua. 576 00:39:34,250 --> 00:39:38,410 And 9 -11 worked very much the same way. Our own Al -Qaeda. 577 00:39:38,970 --> 00:39:44,190 attacked the United States with the U .S.'s own help, and it was covered up by 578 00:39:44,190 --> 00:39:48,230 the same intelligence agencies that started it to begin with. It acted as a 579 00:39:48,230 --> 00:39:52,470 pretext for the War on Terror, which replaced the Cold War to justify all the 580 00:39:52,470 --> 00:39:56,890 massive military spending we've seen since, and the erosion of civil 581 00:39:56,890 --> 00:40:00,510 and the rise of a despotic, fascist police state. 582 00:40:01,930 --> 00:40:06,450 Space wants to cure Afghanistan, control the opium trade, which the Taliban had 583 00:40:06,450 --> 00:40:07,419 cut off. 584 00:40:07,420 --> 00:40:10,740 It's the opium wars too, just as the British had done before. 585 00:40:11,020 --> 00:40:15,360 The U .S. can create mass mercenary armies and foster and utilize terrorist 586 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:16,360 groups at will. 587 00:40:16,500 --> 00:40:19,300 There's a reason Al -Qaeda has never attacked Israel. 588 00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:23,960 A war on terror is endless profiteering. The U .S. will have been in Afghanistan 589 00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:29,020 for over a dozen years soon. The objective has never been about winning, 590 00:40:29,020 --> 00:40:31,880 less women's liberation or fighting for freedom. 591 00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:35,640 The whole point is to prolong conflict for as long as possible. 592 00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:40,440 This is why the U .S. preaches a war on terrorism while simultaneously engaging 593 00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:41,980 in acts of terrorism itself. 594 00:40:42,300 --> 00:40:46,340 And it doesn't matter if that's the slow boil by drones or by the quicker boil 595 00:40:46,340 --> 00:40:52,420 by privateer proxies. It could be Belhoss in Iraq or Libya, MEK in Iraq 596 00:40:52,420 --> 00:40:57,700 Iran, Jandala in Balochistan, al -Shabaab in Somalia, al -Nursa in Syria, 597 00:40:57,700 --> 00:41:01,160 foreign aid Rina governments, which work in the same way as the privateer 598 00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:03,240 models, such as al -Hadi in Yemen. 599 00:41:03,720 --> 00:41:08,260 formerly Mubarak in Egypt, Museveni in Uganda, Bokogami in Rwanda, Sheikh 600 00:41:08,260 --> 00:41:13,740 Sharif, al -Khalifa, Franco, and so on, and of course, Karzai in Afghanistan. 601 00:41:14,540 --> 00:41:19,440 The U .S. began its al -Qaeda Frankenstein back in the 80s by backing 602 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:24,320 Mujahideen and their mercenary special forces, al -Qaeda, and then the Taliban 603 00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:28,700 in their civil war, and then the U .S. changed sides on paper to the Northern 604 00:41:28,700 --> 00:41:32,620 Alliance, but in reality, it's just the CIA's occupation of the country for its 605 00:41:32,620 --> 00:41:33,620 own interest. 606 00:41:33,670 --> 00:41:37,510 the American government had a hand -in -glove relationship with Osama bin Laden 607 00:41:37,510 --> 00:41:39,610 while they were fighting the Soviets together. 608 00:41:39,990 --> 00:41:44,490 This privateer had a religious following and a lot of financial overlap with 609 00:41:44,490 --> 00:41:49,670 Saudi Arabia, who finances all of the extreme Wahhabi Sunni terrorist 610 00:41:50,430 --> 00:41:54,970 Al -Zawahiri was much more of an influential privateer than bin Laden, 611 00:41:54,970 --> 00:41:58,190 never use your real puppet's face for the brand sold to the public. 612 00:41:58,470 --> 00:42:02,530 As Oliver North infamously stated, you must create. 613 00:42:03,460 --> 00:42:04,660 Plausible deniability. 614 00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:08,060 We wanted to be able to deny a covert operation. 615 00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:10,400 Plausible deniability. 616 00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:13,460 What Keith said here is so huge. 617 00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:18,600 Though the Iran -Contra operation in particular ended, that style of 618 00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:19,600 has been ongoing. 619 00:42:19,900 --> 00:42:22,400 Gladio 2 .0 has been much in the same vein. 620 00:42:22,720 --> 00:42:26,560 There are a multitude of ways to launder money, through Saudi Arabia, Turkey, 621 00:42:26,740 --> 00:42:31,040 etc., through bogus NGOs, CIA -assisted narcotics trafficking, and fake 622 00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:33,690 foundations to create... plausible deniability. 623 00:42:34,150 --> 00:42:39,710 Take the case of Fethullah GĂ¼len, living in the U .S. as a preacher, but in 624 00:42:39,710 --> 00:42:43,730 reality to anybody with any common sense looking at it, he's just a transparent 625 00:42:43,730 --> 00:42:47,950 conduit that the CIA needed to fund all $20 billion worth of funds in the so 626 00:42:47,950 --> 00:42:51,370 -called Islamic schools and mosques, which are themselves fronts for training 627 00:42:51,370 --> 00:42:55,130 the next round of renterists, a mixture of privateers and useful idiots. 628 00:42:55,590 --> 00:43:00,030 I want to stress that though naming names and documenting who said what and 629 00:43:00,030 --> 00:43:04,350 what is very important, All of these neocons are exchangeable and expendable. 630 00:43:04,490 --> 00:43:09,210 The criminals change from one administration to the next, but the 631 00:43:09,210 --> 00:43:14,950 MIC, the Military Industrial Complex, always finds new profiteers to pick up 632 00:43:14,950 --> 00:43:18,850 where the last ones left off. Though so many of these players are Zionist 633 00:43:18,850 --> 00:43:22,930 ideologues, it is only with the overlapping mutual benefits for military 634 00:43:22,930 --> 00:43:25,950 industry that these murder fantasies become realities. 635 00:43:26,350 --> 00:43:28,690 The MIC will always support. 636 00:43:29,230 --> 00:43:33,610 The craziest, most racist, most bloodthirsty factions you can find 637 00:43:33,610 --> 00:43:34,610 they're good for business. 638 00:43:35,010 --> 00:43:40,130 That's why PNAC's weekly standard prime financial sponsor was Lockheed Martin. 639 00:43:41,230 --> 00:43:43,590 Think of it like a car driving on a road. 640 00:43:43,890 --> 00:43:45,030 The road is war. 641 00:43:45,270 --> 00:43:50,530 The car is government. The financial institutions are the fuel. And the MIC 642 00:43:50,530 --> 00:43:51,249 the driver. 643 00:43:51,250 --> 00:43:52,770 Each needs the other. 644 00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:59,280 As well as in Charlie Wilson's war, where the U .S. supported Mujahideen and 645 00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:05,880 -Qaeda in Afghanistan, the CIA moved money around using BCCI, Bank of Credit 646 00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:06,880 Commerce International. 647 00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:12,140 The bank was finally closed in 1991 because it had so many scandals it could 648 00:44:12,140 --> 00:44:13,180 longer stay afloat. 649 00:44:13,870 --> 00:44:18,070 Some big names linked to a big scandal this day. It involves the Bank of Credit 650 00:44:18,070 --> 00:44:21,550 and Commerce International, which has been shut down on evidence of massive 651 00:44:21,550 --> 00:44:24,890 fraud. Today, the focus of the investigation was on prominent figures 652 00:44:24,890 --> 00:44:27,910 Washington, including a former Secretary of Defense, Clark Clifford. 653 00:44:28,550 --> 00:44:34,090 BCCI was created in the 70s and used by the Safari Club to launder money on 654 00:44:34,090 --> 00:44:35,090 behalf of the CIA. 655 00:44:35,230 --> 00:44:40,250 They also used Riggs Bank, which was used again in 9 -11, to launder money 656 00:44:40,250 --> 00:44:42,270 Saudi sources to 9 -11 hijackers. 657 00:44:43,130 --> 00:44:44,430 But what is a safari club? 658 00:44:44,890 --> 00:44:46,750 Again, a little history is needed. 659 00:44:49,670 --> 00:44:54,430 It is well known now that the CIA's chief on counterintelligence, James 660 00:44:54,430 --> 00:44:57,290 Angleton, had a special relationship with Israel. 661 00:44:57,570 --> 00:45:01,970 And although the Israelis did provide an important source of intelligence on the 662 00:45:01,970 --> 00:45:05,790 Soviet Union and Arab states, they were turning around and providing the Soviets 663 00:45:05,790 --> 00:45:09,750 with a lot more intelligence on the Americans in exchange for Jewish 664 00:45:10,830 --> 00:45:15,510 A number of other things were going on, but suffice it to say, in 1974, William 665 00:45:15,510 --> 00:45:19,330 Colby, the DCI, Director of Central Intelligence, had had enough. 666 00:45:19,710 --> 00:45:23,750 He fired Angleton, and three of Angleton's top executives went with him. 667 00:45:24,430 --> 00:45:29,830 Because of Watergate, the entire CIA was under investigation, and it underwent 668 00:45:29,830 --> 00:45:31,010 some massive housecleaning. 669 00:45:32,290 --> 00:45:37,150 At the time, the Vietnam War, or the War of Helicopters and Heroin, was ending, 670 00:45:37,310 --> 00:45:39,290 and it was over by April of 1975. 671 00:45:40,350 --> 00:45:43,290 The CIA would need to replace the revenue from the drug trade. 672 00:45:44,150 --> 00:45:47,970 The new DCI already had been making moves before he had the position. 673 00:45:48,310 --> 00:45:50,310 His name was George Bush Sr. 674 00:45:51,190 --> 00:45:55,730 Bush's plan in response to the investigations into the CIA's activities 675 00:45:55,730 --> 00:45:57,650 hide things better rather than fix them. 676 00:45:58,170 --> 00:46:02,690 To reduce the reliance on Israeli intel on the Middle East and to create more 677 00:46:02,690 --> 00:46:06,910 back channels of revenue, Bush incorporated his already close business 678 00:46:07,050 --> 00:46:08,370 the Saudi royal family. 679 00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:14,500 Bush courted future Saudi General Intelligence Director, Prince Turki bin 680 00:46:14,500 --> 00:46:18,540 Assad, while Clark Clifford, a Truman lackey with deep ties into intelligence, 681 00:46:18,860 --> 00:46:23,780 approached the prince's uncle and current G .I .D., Sheikh Kamal Havad, 682 00:46:23,780 --> 00:46:28,480 plan. The idea was to move an intelligence network outside the U .S. 683 00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:32,740 worldwide covert operations for the agency were funded by a host of Saudi 684 00:46:32,740 --> 00:46:34,280 banking and charity enterprises. 685 00:46:34,660 --> 00:46:37,180 And so, the Safari Club was created. 686 00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:44,360 In a 2002 speech at Georgetown University, Prince Turkey stated, In 687 00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:47,400 the Watergate matters took place here, your intelligence community was 688 00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:50,660 tied up by Congress. It could not do anything. It could not send spies. 689 00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:52,860 It could not write reports. It could not pay money. 690 00:46:53,140 --> 00:46:57,640 In order to compensate for that, a group of countries got together in the hope 691 00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:01,760 of fighting communism and established what is called the Safari Club. The 692 00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:04,800 Club included France, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, and Iran. 693 00:47:05,390 --> 00:47:08,570 The principal aim of this club was to share information with each other and 694 00:47:08,570 --> 00:47:13,550 each other in countering Soviet influence worldwide, especially in 695 00:47:13,550 --> 00:47:18,430 course, Iran was kicked out of that club after the revolution in 1979, and this 696 00:47:18,430 --> 00:47:21,830 group was just joining the U .S.-Israeli nexus that already existed. 697 00:47:23,070 --> 00:47:27,330 Researcher Peter Dale Scott refers to the Safari Club as a second CIA. 698 00:47:28,310 --> 00:47:33,510 At this time, over $10 million from CIA operation accounts at Riggs Bank were 699 00:47:33,510 --> 00:47:35,250 simply transferred over to Saudi Arabia. 700 00:47:35,530 --> 00:47:39,350 To hide from Congress, they would need to launder money overseas and in 701 00:47:39,350 --> 00:47:40,350 institutions. 702 00:47:40,750 --> 00:47:45,250 So, with the green light from Bush, Adham transformed a small merchant bank 703 00:47:45,250 --> 00:47:49,950 Pakistan into a worldwide network, buying up banks to create a clandestine 704 00:47:49,950 --> 00:47:51,550 laundering backbone for the empire. 705 00:47:52,130 --> 00:47:57,290 And this was BCCI. From covert missions in Africa to the Contras to Al -Qaeda, 706 00:47:57,470 --> 00:47:59,330 everybody used BCCI. 707 00:48:00,150 --> 00:48:05,020 And with the Safari Club, The CIA were officially a multinational gang of drug 708 00:48:05,020 --> 00:48:06,020 -running and terrorism. 709 00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:10,740 Israel also was never purged from its position in the syndicate. Even under 710 00:48:10,740 --> 00:48:15,400 more even -handed Carter administration with Admiral Turner as the DCI, the 711 00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:19,680 Israelis maintained a mole with Turner's underling Ted Shackley and proceeded to 712 00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:23,000 integrate with all the U .S. departments even deeper than Saudi Arabia. 713 00:48:23,700 --> 00:48:28,120 Now, when it comes to 9 -11, let it be no shock that all of these factions 714 00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:29,940 again and cover for each other. 715 00:48:30,460 --> 00:48:35,900 With BCCI gone in 91, the agency went right back to its roots with old school 716 00:48:35,900 --> 00:48:37,680 sources such as Riggs Bank. 717 00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:46,620 Back in 1999, two men from Saudi Arabia, we'll call them 718 00:48:46,620 --> 00:48:52,260 Mach and Hash for simplicity, forced a plane bound for Washington to ground 719 00:48:52,260 --> 00:48:54,960 itself in Ohio, where the men were arrested. 720 00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:59,040 Both men had trained at Al -Qaeda camps in Afghanistan. 721 00:48:59,950 --> 00:49:04,270 Both were in contact with al -Qaeda operatives, as well as the Saudi 722 00:49:04,530 --> 00:49:08,610 and both had their plane tickets paid for by the Saudi government. 723 00:49:09,410 --> 00:49:14,490 They tried multiple times to enter the cockpit, and their excuse to the FBI 724 00:49:14,710 --> 00:49:16,730 we thought it was the bathroom. 725 00:49:18,350 --> 00:49:21,870 Even though they had asked their stewardess where the bathroom was, and 726 00:49:21,870 --> 00:49:25,050 directed them to the back of the plane, they go to the front of the, they knew 727 00:49:25,050 --> 00:49:26,050 it was the cockpit. 728 00:49:27,470 --> 00:49:30,790 But that was a good enough excuse because the FBI let him go. 729 00:49:32,690 --> 00:49:37,990 Later, another Al -Qaeda suspect under investigation was discovered driving 730 00:49:37,990 --> 00:49:38,990 Mock's car. 731 00:49:40,030 --> 00:49:41,610 Why did he have his car? 732 00:49:41,890 --> 00:49:46,690 Perhaps because this Arizona Al -Qaeda recruiter is who drove them to the 733 00:49:46,690 --> 00:49:51,310 airport the day they got on the flight where they ended up getting arrested for 734 00:49:51,310 --> 00:49:52,350 trying to enter the cockpit. 735 00:49:54,060 --> 00:49:59,700 Robert Mueller of the FBI, even after learning all about that and the Al 736 00:49:59,700 --> 00:50:04,600 training camps and contact with operational level operatives, was not 737 00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:07,280 in investigating or even interviewing these men. 738 00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:11,200 All they did was a dry one of 9 -11. 739 00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:13,340 Who'd want to talk to them about that? 740 00:50:14,720 --> 00:50:19,780 Saudi Arabia was laundering money through California Mosque, provided 741 00:50:19,780 --> 00:50:22,540 and transportation, and lived with or next to. 742 00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:27,040 and provided money to at least three al -Qaeda hijackers. 743 00:50:28,420 --> 00:50:33,200 Israel knew, for they too lived next to and helped hijackers move around, 744 00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:34,480 literally. 745 00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:41,040 It would not be the first time that Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the United 746 00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:45,460 covertly supported al -Qaeda, nor would it be the last. 747 00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:48,820 It's happening right now. 748 00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:08,100 General Mahood Amin of Pakistan's ISI took calls from Saeed Sheikh twice after 749 00:55:08,100 --> 00:55:12,180 he wired $100 ,000 to lead hijacker Mohammad Atta. 750 00:55:12,460 --> 00:55:14,640 The time stamps overlapped twice. 751 00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:20,080 On the morning of September 11th, Amin was meeting with Safari Club founder and 752 00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:25,220 former DCI, George Wood Sr., and the chairman of the House and Senate 753 00:55:25,220 --> 00:55:30,220 Intelligence Committees, which included Congressman Porter Goss, the next DCI. 754 00:55:30,730 --> 00:55:35,550 who was appointed by Bush's son, President George W. Bush. 755 00:55:35,990 --> 00:55:40,010 The general would retire from his position shortly after the money 756 00:55:40,010 --> 00:55:41,010 exposed. 757 00:55:41,230 --> 00:55:44,890 Oddly, Bush Sr. had met with Osama bin Laden's brother the day before. 758 00:55:47,050 --> 00:55:51,450 Let's take a look at a couple of the alleged hijackers of Flight 77 that hit 759 00:55:51,450 --> 00:55:57,030 Pentagon. Future alleged 9 -11 hijackers al -Hazmi and al -Mihar lived openly in 760 00:55:57,030 --> 00:55:58,790 the U .S. under their real names. 761 00:55:59,210 --> 00:56:03,030 despite attending an al -Qaeda summit meeting in Malaysia, where they had been 762 00:56:03,030 --> 00:56:06,310 photographed, and their hub in Yemen being bugged. 763 00:56:06,530 --> 00:56:11,230 Both got visas from the CIA's fast -track program in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, 764 00:56:11,230 --> 00:56:15,150 did a majority of the hijackers. But the CIA was preventing this information 765 00:56:15,150 --> 00:56:16,450 from reaching the FBI. 766 00:56:17,030 --> 00:56:21,210 Doug Mattson of the 9 -11 Commission staff and a former CIA deputy director 767 00:56:21,210 --> 00:56:24,310 expressed as much that the CIA was intentionally omitting information. 768 00:56:25,070 --> 00:56:26,610 And what's the gain by that? 769 00:56:27,820 --> 00:56:32,220 Well, you have to ask yourself, just how separate is Al -Qaeda and the CIA? 770 00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:36,300 Why are so many terrorists who attack U .S. targets ex -CIA? 771 00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:40,840 Furthermore, why are so many CIA agents blocking investigation into some of 772 00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:44,840 these same terrorists? They can fight side by side in Afghanistan, Chechnya, 773 00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:48,300 Bosnia, or Kosovo, but that's when they're our terrorists. 774 00:56:48,700 --> 00:56:52,620 We know the CIA isn't losing any sleep over the heroin trade being re -opened 775 00:56:52,620 --> 00:56:53,620 Afghanistan. 776 00:56:53,850 --> 00:56:57,550 Illegal drug markets are half the shadow economy for key Central Asian states 777 00:56:57,550 --> 00:57:02,010 like Azerbaijan, crucial in controlling non -OPEC Caspian oil and gas. 778 00:57:02,430 --> 00:57:06,330 Conflict in Afghanistan also forces oil west and down through the Israeli 779 00:57:06,330 --> 00:57:10,830 keyhole before it can go to East Asia, the only potential break in that 780 00:57:10,830 --> 00:57:13,110 now being a direct route from Iran. 781 00:57:13,970 --> 00:57:17,690 Of course, there was a moment after the Egyptian revolution that Libyan oil 782 00:57:17,690 --> 00:57:20,970 could go through the Suez, but NATO took care of that. 783 00:57:21,580 --> 00:57:23,960 China still wants its contracts from Gaddafi, though. 784 00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:29,280 China worries over its Libyan interests as the unrest in Libya continues to 785 00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:33,840 unfold. The Chinese regime urged Libya's rebels to keep their oil trade 786 00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:34,980 agreements on Tuesday. 787 00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:41,160 In light of the recent unrest and political changes in Libya, the Chinese 788 00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:45,340 is growing anxious over its existing deals in the tumultuous country. Other 789 00:57:45,340 --> 00:57:49,660 crucial access ports without a Western military presence in the Gulf of Aden 790 00:57:49,980 --> 00:57:52,140 Bassan of Somalia, and Aden of Yemen. 791 00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:58,340 So odd how the USS Cole bombing was in Aden in 2000, and it involved al 792 00:57:58,540 --> 00:58:03,160 But of course, he gets to live openly in the United States, and others allegedly 793 00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:07,240 involved in the USS Cole attack all escape or are released from prison. 794 00:58:07,580 --> 00:58:11,160 At least they went to prison. That's more than what was done after the USS 795 00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:12,118 Liberty attack. 796 00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:16,960 Was the USS Cole an al -Qaeda bombing, or was al -Qaeda a front for a false 797 00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:17,960 flag? 798 00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:22,660 Barbara Boding blocked John O 'Neill's investigations into the USS Cole 799 00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:26,100 The captain just happened to be a close personal friend of hers. 800 00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:30,720 Irony is that the captain of the ship is a personal friend of mine. 801 00:58:31,220 --> 00:58:34,380 One of those odd coincidences. 802 00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:38,240 O 'Neill probably wanted to answer the most obvious questions about the event, 803 00:58:38,340 --> 00:58:43,240 like why was the Cole even there instead of going to refuel in Bahrain as it was 804 00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:46,340 scheduled to do? How did the terrorists know it was going to be there? 805 00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:48,400 And just where did they get the C4? 806 00:58:48,660 --> 00:58:53,060 We may never know the answers because the investigation was about as open as 807 00:58:53,060 --> 00:58:56,520 Oklahoma City investigation or the anthrax investigation. 808 00:58:56,880 --> 00:59:02,520 And once again, as always, the security footage of the event was edited and is 809 00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:05,100 useless. There's no footage of the attack. 810 00:59:05,500 --> 00:59:09,700 John O 'Neill also had his investigation into bin Laden squashed and his 811 00:59:09,700 --> 00:59:11,440 investigators pulled off hot trails. 812 00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:16,100 They've been coming in and out of the U .S. on legal visas. 813 00:59:16,570 --> 00:59:21,310 John O 'Neill took a job with Kroll after being hired by Jerome Hauer, who 814 00:59:21,310 --> 00:59:23,190 involved in the actual anthrax attack. 815 00:59:23,690 --> 00:59:28,410 Just two weeks after getting his job, John O 'Neill died in the South Tower on 816 00:59:28,410 --> 00:59:29,410 -11. 817 00:59:29,690 --> 00:59:34,490 This could all be outrageous incompetence and coincidence, or it 818 00:59:34,490 --> 00:59:36,950 collusion. Then, look at the whole picture. 819 00:59:37,170 --> 00:59:40,970 If you stop thinking about it in terms of U .S. interests, the puzzle is very 820 00:59:40,970 --> 00:59:44,870 easy. The U .S. acts for only one state's interest, and that's Israel. 821 00:59:45,390 --> 00:59:48,930 APAC purchased Congress with the foreign government's financial backing. 822 00:59:49,630 --> 00:59:53,630 Since we learned nothing in school and the press is a joke, I must go over some 823 00:59:53,630 --> 00:59:55,890 background information about pipelines. 824 00:59:56,790 --> 01:00:00,890 Pipelines are not just for transporting oil and gas. They are for political 825 01:00:00,890 --> 01:00:01,890 leverage as well. 826 01:00:02,050 --> 01:00:06,530 Each country a pipeline passes through greatly benefits as a middleman in the 827 01:00:06,530 --> 01:00:07,530 flow of resources. 828 01:00:08,610 --> 01:00:13,210 In order for energy to reach the open market, the pipeline must reach a port. 829 01:00:13,690 --> 01:00:16,090 After that, it can be shipped anywhere in the world. 830 01:00:17,770 --> 01:00:20,810 The major battle right now is over the Cascade Basin. 831 01:00:21,310 --> 01:00:24,690 It's a non -OPEC -sourced oil and gas, and there is a lot of it. 832 01:00:24,910 --> 01:00:26,910 The major markets are Europe and Asia. 833 01:00:27,230 --> 01:00:31,470 The larger market, and undoubtedly the larger future market, is certainly Asia. 834 01:00:32,290 --> 01:00:35,970 China and India are emerging, and both are strapped for oil and gas. 835 01:00:36,330 --> 01:00:39,550 Japan is also a thirsty, virtually oil -less country. 836 01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:44,100 A direct line to China or India is out of the question as conflict in 837 01:00:44,100 --> 01:00:48,800 Afghanistan prevents investors from joining any consortium. And without 838 01:00:48,900 --> 01:00:49,900 there can be no pipeline. 839 01:00:50,420 --> 01:00:54,040 No one wants to spend billions of dollars on something that could be 840 01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:55,480 destroyed and plagued with attacks. 841 01:00:56,660 --> 01:01:01,380 Instead, at present, oil and gas going to Asia is shipped west through the BTC 842 01:01:01,380 --> 01:01:03,100 lines that start in Azerbaijan. 843 01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:07,000 then pass through Georgia and conclude in Cheyenne port of Turkey. 844 01:01:07,420 --> 01:01:12,100 For that oil and gas to get to Asia, it must pass through the Israeli line and 845 01:01:12,100 --> 01:01:13,240 come out at the Red Sea. 846 01:01:13,620 --> 01:01:18,500 Oil and gas going to Europe goes to Italy, which is why Italy and Israel are 847 01:01:18,500 --> 01:01:21,160 largest importers of PTC gas and oil. 848 01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:26,120 Europe also has other sources of gas from Russia, oil from Libya, etc. 849 01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:31,420 Israel greatly enjoys this position as the final middleman on the energy going 850 01:01:31,420 --> 01:01:32,420 to Asia. 851 01:01:32,590 --> 01:01:36,590 After the Egyptian revolution, when the puppet dictator Mubarak was forced to 852 01:01:36,590 --> 01:01:40,530 flee, Iran was free for the first time to pass its ships through the Suez Canal 853 01:01:40,530 --> 01:01:45,910 since 1979, before the revolution, while they were under the thumb of the U .S. 854 01:01:45,910 --> 01:01:49,090 and the puppet Shah, and could send oil and gas to Europe. 855 01:01:49,390 --> 01:01:52,630 Likewise, Libya could send its oil southeast to Asia. 856 01:01:52,850 --> 01:01:56,950 So shortly after the revolution, a conflict was manufactured in Libya. 857 01:01:57,190 --> 01:01:58,370 Libya was invaded. 858 01:01:58,770 --> 01:01:59,770 Gaddafi removed. 859 01:02:00,110 --> 01:02:02,050 and his contracts with the Chinese reneged. 860 01:02:02,590 --> 01:02:05,050 Europe was bullied into putting sanctions on Iran. 861 01:02:05,830 --> 01:02:10,750 While Iran has been expanding its gas fields, they'd like to send gas to 862 01:02:10,750 --> 01:02:16,210 southern Iran, which avoids Afghanistan, directly to Pakistan and India, and 863 01:02:16,210 --> 01:02:17,350 eventually to China. 864 01:02:17,730 --> 01:02:22,010 China has made it very clear that they are willing to overpay for gas and oil. 865 01:02:22,470 --> 01:02:27,990 At the same time, with the U .S. being kicked out of Iraq in 2011, Iran signed 866 01:02:27,990 --> 01:02:32,310 $10 billion deal with Iraq and Syria to build a line through Iraq and Syria. 867 01:02:32,490 --> 01:02:36,970 Now, who is that a threat to? Turkey and Israel, naturally, because it's an 868 01:02:36,970 --> 01:02:38,690 alternative to the BTC monopoly. 869 01:02:39,250 --> 01:02:42,530 So who has had mercenaries in Syria from the beginning? 870 01:02:43,210 --> 01:02:47,430 Israel and Turkey, of course. The goal is not really regime change. 871 01:02:47,730 --> 01:02:52,270 The goal, like in Afghanistan, is to create a prolonged conflict to last for 872 01:02:52,270 --> 01:02:57,160 years. Tear Syria apart and create perpetual conflict preventing any new 873 01:02:57,160 --> 01:03:01,320 from breaking the monopoly, and it also creates a healthy environment for MIT 874 01:03:01,320 --> 01:03:06,720 profiteers. In return, the Turks and the Israelis will continue to buy all of 875 01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:11,680 the U .S.'s toys, no matter how worthless they are in actual combat, 876 01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:14,940 money acquired from the U .S. to begin with in the form of aid. 877 01:03:15,300 --> 01:03:19,300 That keeps Lockheed and Kelhabi, and thus the American media, in line. 878 01:03:19,970 --> 01:03:23,650 Americans are getting robbed, Syrians are being killed, Europe and Asia are 879 01:03:23,650 --> 01:03:28,090 being deprived of new sources of oil and gas, Iran and Pakistan are being pushed 880 01:03:28,090 --> 01:03:31,690 into the arms of BRIC, and Israel is laughing all the way to the bank. 881 01:03:32,230 --> 01:03:36,130 If you understand pipelines and the Israeli -centric grip on U .S. foreign 882 01:03:36,130 --> 01:03:37,950 policy, it makes perfect sense. 883 01:03:38,350 --> 01:03:43,030 At minimal, a gas line to Pakistan from Iran is going to happen. 884 01:03:43,450 --> 01:03:46,910 So look for more excuses for the U .S. to bomb in Pakistan. 885 01:03:47,820 --> 01:03:51,680 Everyone admits now that they know Iran is not building a bomb. 886 01:03:51,980 --> 01:03:56,700 The worry is that if Iran can build nuclear power for electricity, it could 887 01:03:56,700 --> 01:03:59,500 up all the oil they currently consume and sell it. 888 01:04:00,260 --> 01:04:05,580 PNAC wants to destroy any potential economic or military rivals, and to hell 889 01:04:05,580 --> 01:04:07,240 with the people living in any country. 890 01:04:10,100 --> 01:04:15,820 President Obama, while he was a senator, is who initially introduced the bill in 891 01:04:15,820 --> 01:04:16,729 the Senate. 892 01:04:16,730 --> 01:04:19,250 to attempt to put sanctions on Iran in the first place. 893 01:04:19,590 --> 01:04:25,250 And, once again, predictably, those against the deal are Israeli firsters. 894 01:04:25,730 --> 01:04:30,570 All the kicking and screaming we hear about the deal is for Israeli interests, 895 01:04:30,730 --> 01:04:33,150 not European or American interests. 896 01:04:35,430 --> 01:04:39,970 The U .S.'s covert support for the Contras in the 80s, as well as the 897 01:04:39,970 --> 01:04:44,930 in Afghanistan, are well known now, and the public is discovering that ISIS, the 898 01:04:44,930 --> 01:04:50,370 Islamic State, is being covertly supported, financed, trained, and 899 01:04:50,370 --> 01:04:53,230 America through the same systems as before. 900 01:04:53,750 --> 01:04:58,230 The U .S.'s own agencies acknowledge and admit this, and yet where is the press? 901 01:04:58,330 --> 01:05:03,750 They have no interest in covering the United States aiding al -Qaeda. This is 902 01:05:03,750 --> 01:05:08,010 for a conglomeration of corporate interests of Gulf states, Turkey, the 903 01:05:08,010 --> 01:05:12,450 Israelis, and of course the M .I .C. in the United States. There was no threat 904 01:05:12,450 --> 01:05:13,870 to America from Syria. 905 01:05:14,620 --> 01:05:20,920 But in order to combat Assad, the U .S. financed covert mercenaries. It will 906 01:05:20,920 --> 01:05:21,920 have consequences. 907 01:05:22,540 --> 01:05:24,880 Have a look at this ISIS footage again. 908 01:05:27,300 --> 01:05:29,180 They have a convoy of trucks. 909 01:05:29,480 --> 01:05:33,240 New paint, same model, gun mount, artillery. 910 01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:35,760 Where are they getting these things? 911 01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:37,900 They didn't build them. 912 01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:41,080 And if they bought them, then from where? 913 01:05:41,900 --> 01:05:43,140 And with what money? 914 01:05:44,300 --> 01:05:47,060 These weapons and gear are from state sponsorship. 915 01:05:47,520 --> 01:05:49,340 It's another opium army. 916 01:05:50,060 --> 01:05:56,560 This is why ending the war in Afghanistan is key in ending or reducing 917 01:05:56,560 --> 01:05:59,840 empire's ability to wage proxy wars around the world. 918 01:06:07,040 --> 01:06:13,200 The U .S.'s own Defense Intelligence Agency in 2012 leaked a report by 919 01:06:13,200 --> 01:06:16,690 Watch. is admitting that the West fostered ISIS. 920 01:06:17,290 --> 01:06:21,150 This is something we've been saying from the beginning, and we've been 921 01:06:21,150 --> 01:06:25,790 presenting forensic evidence and other evidence, but here, so that they don't 922 01:06:25,790 --> 01:06:31,090 have plausible deniability or the incompetence to produce, is the U .S.'s 923 01:06:31,090 --> 01:06:36,250 agency's report, which was circulated through the CIA and State Department and 924 01:06:36,250 --> 01:06:41,150 all the alphabet soup networks, admitting that they wanted ISIS, that 925 01:06:41,150 --> 01:06:43,170 fostered ISIS, that they supported ISIS. 926 01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:45,640 with Turkey and the Gulf states. 927 01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:51,000 And if you can go way back to the interview I did with William Engel, we 928 01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:54,620 through this whole thing and why they were really doing what they were doing 929 01:06:54,620 --> 01:06:58,800 who was supporting it. My interviews with Pepe Escobar have echoed the same 930 01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:03,060 thing. But here it is in their own words. Let me read you part of this 931 01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:07,020 In Section B, Development of the Current Events into Proxy War. 932 01:07:08,140 --> 01:07:10,840 Opposition forces are trying to control the eastern areas. 933 01:07:11,400 --> 01:07:16,100 adjacent to the western Iraqi provinces, in addition to neighboring Turkish 934 01:07:16,100 --> 01:07:20,640 borders. Western countries, the Gulf states and Turkey, are supporting these 935 01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:24,960 efforts. This hypothesis is most likely in accordance with the data from recent 936 01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:29,640 events, which will help prepare safe havens under international sheltering, 937 01:07:29,660 --> 01:07:33,640 similar to what transpired in Libya when Benghazi was chosen as a command center 938 01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:34,740 for the temporary government. 939 01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:41,420 Skipping down to 8C, if the situation unravels, there is the possibility of 940 01:07:41,420 --> 01:07:46,200 establishing a declared or undeclared Salafist principality in eastern Syria. 941 01:07:46,420 --> 01:07:51,720 And this is exactly what the supporting powers to the opposition want, in order 942 01:07:51,720 --> 01:07:57,460 to isolate the Syrian regime, which is considered a strategic step of the Shia 943 01:07:57,460 --> 01:07:58,460 expansion. 944 01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:06,280 ISI could also declare an Islamic State, through its union with other terrorist 945 01:08:06,280 --> 01:08:10,880 organizations in Iraq and Syria, which will create grave danger in regards to 946 01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:14,300 unifying Iraq and the protection of its territory. 947 01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:20,920 The establishment of a Salafi principality in eastern Syria is exactly 948 01:08:20,920 --> 01:08:23,240 external powers supporting the opposition want. 949 01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:27,160 Internally, events are taking a clear sectarian direction. 950 01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:31,540 The Salafists, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Al -Qaeda in Iraq are the major 951 01:08:31,540 --> 01:08:33,899 forces driving the insurgency in Syria. 952 01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:37,580 The West, Gulf countries, and Turkey support the opposition. 953 01:08:38,319 --> 01:08:44,660 The West supports al -Qaeda in Iraq. The West is supporting al -Qaeda and a 954 01:08:44,660 --> 01:08:48,600 Salafi principality to attack Syria. 955 01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:51,840 This is why Israel has been al -Qaeda's air force. 956 01:08:52,060 --> 01:08:58,819 This is why the West, meaning America and Turkey and its Gulf state allies, 957 01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:00,439 have been financing. 958 01:09:01,229 --> 01:09:07,770 and supplying arms to ISIS through the FSA, the moderate Syriac that also go 959 01:09:07,770 --> 01:09:11,710 around cutting off heads and grilling people and eating organs, etc. 960 01:09:12,390 --> 01:09:17,430 This is manufactured covert mercenaries, the same as the Contras were in 961 01:09:17,430 --> 01:09:21,069 Nicaragua during Iran -Contra. They don't even try and hide it anymore. 962 01:09:21,330 --> 01:09:27,029 This was the desired plan. They're fostering ISIS to attack Syria. Why? 963 01:09:27,410 --> 01:09:30,470 The whole thing is to weaken Iran, and why? 964 01:09:30,840 --> 01:09:36,279 Do they want to weaken Iran? Because the ultimate aim is to weaken Hezbollah so 965 01:09:36,279 --> 01:09:40,720 that Israel can have its plans for greater Israel. It doesn't benefit the 966 01:09:40,720 --> 01:09:44,439 States at all to be involved in these Middle Eastern conflicts. We are there 967 01:09:44,439 --> 01:09:46,640 because of the Israeli lobbies. 968 01:09:46,920 --> 01:09:50,779 But getting back to bin Laden, it's still important to hone in on this 969 01:09:50,779 --> 01:09:53,580 because he's so essential to the official story. 970 01:09:53,819 --> 01:09:54,820 And yet... 971 01:09:54,910 --> 01:09:57,690 He was supported by the U .S. throughout his career. 972 01:09:57,950 --> 01:10:01,870 In the early 1980s, bin Laden worked with operatives from U .S. intelligence, 973 01:10:02,330 --> 01:10:05,030 the Pakistani military, and Arab states. 974 01:10:05,850 --> 01:10:10,710 They ran a wide -ranging covert network that recruited and financed Muslim 975 01:10:10,710 --> 01:10:12,890 fighters to battle the Soviet army. 976 01:10:13,830 --> 01:10:18,810 Intelligence agencies were working covertly with al -Qaeda before 9 -11, 977 01:10:18,810 --> 01:10:21,550 they've been working covertly with al -Qaeda since 9 -11. 978 01:10:22,250 --> 01:10:27,570 But during 9 -11, they want you to believe that they had no part in 979 01:10:27,570 --> 01:10:31,570 protecting them and that it was a pure terrorist attack out of the blue. 980 01:11:14,380 --> 01:11:17,800 9 -11 was not a plot by 20 guys hatched out of a cave. 981 01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:23,500 Top US officials have refused to investigate suspects and classified 982 01:11:23,500 --> 01:11:26,360 that reveals the involvement of foreign governments. 983 01:11:27,140 --> 01:11:31,960 Someone was shielding the hijackers. Someone was assisting them with 984 01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:33,440 and operational support. 985 01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:38,560 Top brass intentionally blocked the FBI's attempt to investigate members of 986 01:11:38,560 --> 01:11:39,560 hijacker cells. 987 01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:43,870 The question is, Did the privateers double -cross the U .S. in a form of 988 01:11:43,870 --> 01:11:46,090 blowback, or was it jointly planned? 989 01:11:46,430 --> 01:11:48,110 It was planned and assisted. 990 01:11:48,650 --> 01:11:52,970 Not only were the bagmen involved in the operation protected, the hijackers 991 01:11:52,970 --> 01:11:58,130 themselves were relocated two steps ahead of the FBI, thanks to the 992 01:11:58,470 --> 01:12:02,190 phone taps and monitoring, not only of the feds, but the hijackers themselves. 993 01:12:02,790 --> 01:12:07,210 Some American terrorism investigators fear certain suspects in the September 994 01:12:07,210 --> 01:12:10,230 11th attack may have managed to stay ahead of them. 995 01:12:10,620 --> 01:12:14,000 by knowing who and when investigators are calling on the telephone. 996 01:12:15,220 --> 01:12:19,800 And what troubles investigators most, particularly in New York in the 997 01:12:19,800 --> 01:12:24,320 counterterrorism investigation of the World Trade Center attack, is that on a 998 01:12:24,320 --> 01:12:28,620 number of cases, suspects that they had sought to wiretap and surveil 999 01:12:28,620 --> 01:12:32,760 immediately changed their telecommunications processes. They 1000 01:12:32,760 --> 01:12:36,580 differently as soon as those supposedly secret wiretaps went into place. 1001 01:13:57,900 --> 01:14:01,920 As soon as Puppet Bush was appointed into office, his handlers and he went to 1002 01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:04,720 work implementing their long push for plans for Iraq. 1003 01:14:06,100 --> 01:14:07,820 War was a foregone conclusion. 1004 01:14:08,620 --> 01:14:13,580 I pointed out in my book that Bush and Blair bombed Baghdad just 27 days after 1005 01:14:13,580 --> 01:14:14,840 Bush was sworn into office. 1006 01:14:15,760 --> 01:14:18,960 It only took Obama a mere three days to bomb Pakistan. 1007 01:14:19,860 --> 01:14:24,200 The only thing changing between Bush and Obama's imperialism was the logo and 1008 01:14:24,200 --> 01:14:25,200 the brand name. 1009 01:14:25,310 --> 01:14:29,810 For many Americans, political tribalism enjoys the same level of excuse -making 1010 01:14:29,810 --> 01:14:32,130 and delusional loyalty as a religious cult. 1011 01:14:32,990 --> 01:14:38,530 Every crime that one team does is suddenly okay once it's their team doing 1012 01:14:38,570 --> 01:14:40,250 even though it's the same crime. 1013 01:14:40,690 --> 01:14:45,930 In psychological terms, this phenomenon and type of behavior is called being an 1014 01:14:45,930 --> 01:14:49,070 idiot. It is easy to lie to an idiot. 1015 01:14:49,570 --> 01:14:52,590 Thus, idiots choose liars for leaders. 1016 01:14:53,450 --> 01:14:58,990 It becomes a cycle of choosing between two evils, because you know there are 1017 01:14:58,990 --> 01:15:03,630 many idiots to stray away from the path set before them by television. 1018 01:15:04,190 --> 01:15:08,810 Not only is war by deception, warmongering uses deception as well. 1019 01:15:09,330 --> 01:15:14,510 However, idiots cannot retain information long enough to remember the 1020 01:15:14,510 --> 01:15:17,010 by the next election, they repeat the process. 1021 01:15:17,890 --> 01:15:21,410 Maybe I'm missing something here. I mean, we're going to have kind of a 1022 01:15:21,410 --> 01:15:25,470 building core from America. Absolutely not. Our military is meant to fight and 1023 01:15:25,470 --> 01:15:26,470 win war. 1024 01:15:26,550 --> 01:15:30,510 That's what it's meant to do. And when it gets overextended, morale drops. 1025 01:15:31,290 --> 01:15:33,750 But I'm going to be judicious as to how to use the military. 1026 01:15:34,150 --> 01:15:37,110 It needs to be in our vital interest. The mission needs to be clear and the 1027 01:15:37,110 --> 01:15:38,110 strategy obvious. 1028 01:15:39,890 --> 01:15:44,890 I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I 1029 01:15:44,890 --> 01:15:45,890 am president. 1030 01:15:46,160 --> 01:15:51,060 It is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home. We will bring an 1031 01:15:51,060 --> 01:15:53,360 end to this war. You can take that to the bank. 1032 01:15:53,600 --> 01:15:56,860 The only thing that went to the bank was trillions of our dollars. 1033 01:15:59,040 --> 01:16:02,640 Idiots are confused when their candidate does the same things as the last guy. 1034 01:16:02,880 --> 01:16:06,620 When confronted with the obvious, they will quickly get frustrated and angry. 1035 01:16:06,940 --> 01:16:10,960 They will make excuses, no matter how retarded, to defend their brand. 1036 01:16:11,180 --> 01:16:15,140 Because admitting they were wrong would also be admitting that they were an 1037 01:16:15,140 --> 01:16:18,980 idiot. and idiots rarely can acknowledge that they are an idiot. 1038 01:16:19,580 --> 01:16:25,020 The war in Iraq wasn't based on mistaken intelligence. It was based on lies, 1039 01:16:25,360 --> 01:16:26,760 known deceptions. 1040 01:16:54,440 --> 01:16:59,920 if a person relies only on television to tell them that Iraq did not have 1041 01:16:59,920 --> 01:17:03,760 weapons of mass destruction and there never was any evidence for that claim, 1042 01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:09,060 that the U .S. had no real interest in liberating the Kurds or allowing a 1043 01:17:09,060 --> 01:17:14,440 legitimate democracy, that they planned perpetual war from the start, and that 1044 01:17:14,440 --> 01:17:20,320 intelligence agencies intentionally fostered religious infighting, even 1045 01:17:20,320 --> 01:17:25,900 far as posing to be one faction while murdering another to set off cycles of 1046 01:17:25,900 --> 01:17:26,900 revenge killings. 1047 01:17:27,420 --> 01:17:32,140 Then they will always be in the dark, because this is not going to be on 1048 01:17:32,140 --> 01:17:37,780 television. The media doesn't report it. The media is owned by the Pentagon. 1049 01:17:37,860 --> 01:17:39,880 They have overlapping boarded records. 1050 01:17:40,180 --> 01:17:42,060 It is one large corporation. 1051 01:17:42,720 --> 01:17:44,200 They lie. 1052 01:17:46,100 --> 01:17:48,360 Wars of choice don't come out of the blue. 1053 01:17:48,580 --> 01:17:50,620 The public must be primed with propaganda. 1054 01:17:51,350 --> 01:17:55,950 Even idiots need a pretext, some slogan to memorize, that they can pull out of 1055 01:17:55,950 --> 01:18:01,110 questions. Resource wars always need some ideological cloak to mask their 1056 01:18:01,110 --> 01:18:02,110 imperialism. 1057 01:18:02,630 --> 01:18:05,090 War profiteers can make money off any war. 1058 01:18:05,330 --> 01:18:07,530 So why specifically attack Iraq? 1059 01:18:08,030 --> 01:18:09,790 Some will say it was for oil. 1060 01:18:10,270 --> 01:18:13,170 The problem with that is it's ignoring many facts. 1061 01:18:13,610 --> 01:18:16,410 It wasn't ExxonMobil creating myths about Niger. 1062 01:18:17,080 --> 01:18:21,580 It wasn't Chevron Texaco saying Iraq got anthrax from 9 -11 hijackers. It was 1063 01:18:21,580 --> 01:18:22,840 Israeli security forces. 1064 01:18:23,580 --> 01:18:28,180 It wasn't BP meeting with Israeli generals to discuss the war. It was the 1065 01:18:28,520 --> 01:18:31,560 It wasn't big oil screaming about weapons of mass destruction. 1066 01:18:31,940 --> 01:18:33,140 It was PNAC. 1067 01:18:33,740 --> 01:18:36,480 Iraq was a threat to Israel, not America. 1068 01:18:37,060 --> 01:18:43,140 And each pre -war lie was a PNAC talking point going as far back as the 90s. 1069 01:18:43,640 --> 01:18:48,430 PNAC's script for war was verbatim. The rhetoric used, by the administration to 1070 01:18:48,430 --> 01:18:49,490 usher in a war with Iraq. 1071 01:18:49,870 --> 01:18:50,870 What was PNAC? 1072 01:18:51,410 --> 01:18:56,170 PNAC was the Project for a New American Century, a neoconservative think tank 1073 01:18:56,170 --> 01:18:59,690 comprised of Zionists with prominent positions in the media and government. 1074 01:19:00,230 --> 01:19:04,650 They published a large work of lies, but because of the Pentagon -press 1075 01:19:04,650 --> 01:19:08,810 relationship, their deceptions got to be front and center on the news channels. 1076 01:19:09,190 --> 01:19:13,490 And with the clout of 9 -11 being used as an emotional club to beat down 1077 01:19:13,490 --> 01:19:15,830 dissenting voices, they got their way. 1078 01:19:16,440 --> 01:19:20,280 This was a war for and by Israeli interest. 1079 01:19:20,660 --> 01:19:24,980 The rationales for the war would flip -flop several times, but each pre 1080 01:19:24,980 --> 01:19:28,240 -invasion lie had its roots with the PNAC cabal. 1081 01:19:28,460 --> 01:19:34,020 These very same people, working for an Israeli group, IASPS, authored a paper 1082 01:19:34,020 --> 01:19:37,840 called The Israeli Clean Break, written by Richard Pearl, which claimed that the 1083 01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:39,920 road to Damascus ran through Baghdad. 1084 01:19:40,280 --> 01:19:45,000 They also wrote in 2000, prior to 9 -11, a report called the Afghan Vortex, 1085 01:19:45,100 --> 01:19:46,920 which called for war in Afghanistan. 1086 01:19:47,320 --> 01:19:51,800 This was all prior to 9 -11 and before the hunting bin Laden rationale. 1087 01:19:52,500 --> 01:19:57,240 Of course we're after Saddam Hussein, I mean bin Laden. He's isolated. 1088 01:19:58,460 --> 01:20:00,780 And, you know, again, I don't know where he is. 1089 01:20:01,220 --> 01:20:08,220 I repeat what I said. I truly am not that concerned about him. 1090 01:20:09,740 --> 01:20:11,120 Pakistan is on our side. 1091 01:20:11,540 --> 01:20:13,700 Afghanistan is half and half. 1092 01:20:13,960 --> 01:20:17,840 But right on that border is Osama bin Laden, most likely. 1093 01:20:18,900 --> 01:20:20,480 And he's probably in Pakistan. 1094 01:20:22,100 --> 01:20:25,860 Some have expressed the notion that Saddam was attacked suddenly for 1095 01:20:25,860 --> 01:20:27,440 to break the petrodollar monopoly. 1096 01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:31,960 Well, Iraq was placed on the misnamed oil for food program. 1097 01:20:32,260 --> 01:20:34,920 We have heard that a half a million children have died. 1098 01:20:35,360 --> 01:20:36,760 I mean, that's more. 1099 01:20:37,290 --> 01:20:40,130 Children then died in Hiroshima. 1100 01:20:40,550 --> 01:20:44,290 And, you know, is the price worth it? 1101 01:20:44,810 --> 01:20:49,770 I think this is a very hard choice. But the price, we think the price is worth 1102 01:20:49,770 --> 01:20:52,390 it. Oil for not enough food would have been more accurate. 1103 01:20:52,630 --> 01:20:56,050 However, the calls for attacking Iraq lasted through three presidents. 1104 01:20:56,330 --> 01:21:00,130 And before that, Iraq was at war with Iran, who Israel supported. 1105 01:21:00,410 --> 01:21:02,970 And Israel bombed Iraq's alleged reactors themselves. 1106 01:21:03,570 --> 01:21:05,230 Iraq was a threat to Israel. 1107 01:21:05,680 --> 01:21:09,560 and Israeli furthers tried to manipulate President Clinton into war as well. 1108 01:21:10,020 --> 01:21:14,640 Clinton finally attacked Iraq, as well as Afghanistan and Sudan, during his 1109 01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:15,640 impeachment proceedings. 1110 01:21:16,080 --> 01:21:19,800 This war monitoring actually helped rather than hurt his chances for getting 1111 01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:20,800 the hook. 1112 01:21:20,900 --> 01:21:25,000 Congressman Ron Paul saw it differently than the new gun, and he said back in 1113 01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:31,380 1998, I have a prepared statement for tomorrow, and in that statement I talk 1114 01:21:31,380 --> 01:21:36,590 about... A much more serious act that the president committed than anything 1115 01:21:36,590 --> 01:21:41,150 we've generally talked about. And that was the illegal bombing of Sudan and 1116 01:21:41,150 --> 01:21:46,390 Afghanistan. $200 million was spent for that without congressional approval. 1117 01:21:46,650 --> 01:21:48,790 Not only is it annoying, I think it's illegal. 1118 01:21:49,210 --> 01:21:50,790 I think it's unconstitutional. 1119 01:21:51,030 --> 01:21:52,410 I think it's an act of war. 1120 01:21:52,730 --> 01:21:57,870 And I think it's much worse than anything that we have considered under 1121 01:21:57,870 --> 01:21:58,870 impeachment. 1122 01:21:59,150 --> 01:22:04,090 There's been a lot of talk about the Constitution in the last several weeks, 1123 01:22:04,090 --> 01:22:05,090 last several months. 1124 01:22:05,270 --> 01:22:07,710 A lot of people holding up the Constitution. 1125 01:22:08,230 --> 01:22:12,310 But I'd like them to read the Constitution, everybody here in this 1126 01:22:12,310 --> 01:22:15,090 read the Constitution about committing acts of war. 1127 01:22:15,610 --> 01:22:20,750 This, to me, is an outrage, and we shouldn't be participating in it. We 1128 01:22:20,750 --> 01:22:22,950 not permit our president to do this. 1129 01:22:23,370 --> 01:22:24,650 There's no threat. 1130 01:22:25,350 --> 01:22:27,430 We're going to do more harm by doing this. 1131 01:22:27,850 --> 01:22:32,650 If Congress were given an opportunity to vote on whether we should bomb Iraq, 1132 01:22:33,050 --> 01:22:36,810 would you go along with that as long as it went through the procedures? 1133 01:22:37,230 --> 01:22:39,950 No, I would strongly oppose it because they're not a threat to our national 1134 01:22:39,950 --> 01:22:40,950 security. 1135 01:22:41,530 --> 01:22:43,290 Iraq has a third -rate army. 1136 01:22:44,090 --> 01:22:49,710 They have no ability to wage war. Our policies are deliberately destroying the 1137 01:22:49,710 --> 01:22:50,710 country. 1138 01:22:50,860 --> 01:22:53,620 They can't feed their children. They're not allowed to have medication. 1139 01:22:53,940 --> 01:22:58,140 There was a story in today's paper where one of our private charity groups was 1140 01:22:58,140 --> 01:23:01,540 being fined because they were trying to get medicines into the Iraqi people. 1141 01:23:01,860 --> 01:23:08,160 So for us to unleash bombs on Iraq at this particular time to kill more 1142 01:23:08,160 --> 01:23:14,280 people for narrow political reasons, no, there is absolutely no need to cause 1143 01:23:14,280 --> 01:23:16,840 more bombing because of a very... 1144 01:23:17,590 --> 01:23:20,990 overall flawed foreign policy. How are you going to vote on impeachment? 1145 01:23:21,350 --> 01:23:22,410 I'll vote for impeachment. 1146 01:23:22,750 --> 01:23:23,750 For all four articles? 1147 01:23:23,970 --> 01:23:24,970 Yes. 1148 01:23:25,530 --> 01:23:28,890 Unenthusiastically, because I think the charges are way too mild and not 1149 01:23:28,890 --> 01:23:32,750 touching the issues that I would like to touch. I mean, that's what we should be 1150 01:23:32,750 --> 01:23:33,750 addressing. 1151 01:23:34,130 --> 01:23:37,870 But I wish the Congress would address the unconstitutionality of presidents 1152 01:23:37,870 --> 01:23:43,350 waging war. That, to me, is a lot more serious than Monica Lewinsky, let me 1153 01:23:43,350 --> 01:23:46,940 you. It has nothing to do with national security. 1154 01:23:47,460 --> 01:23:53,400 Matter of fact, our national security is more jeopardized by permitting this to 1155 01:23:53,400 --> 01:23:57,720 happen because we're liable to start a war. 1156 01:23:58,160 --> 01:24:01,360 We're liable to have our military men killed. 1157 01:24:01,720 --> 01:24:06,240 We're liable to have more attacks on us by terrorists. 1158 01:24:06,720 --> 01:24:11,440 Hours after the verdict cleared Clinton, he ended the bombings. The neocons did 1159 01:24:11,440 --> 01:24:12,720 not end their push for war. 1160 01:24:13,580 --> 01:24:18,300 Here's another paper from PNAC. It's titled, How to Attack Iraq. 1161 01:24:18,680 --> 01:24:23,560 I'm not kidding. This was published on PNAC's official website as well as the 1162 01:24:23,560 --> 01:24:27,060 Weekly Standard run by PNAC's co -founders Kagan and Crystal. 1163 01:24:27,420 --> 01:24:28,820 How to attack Iraq. 1164 01:24:29,180 --> 01:24:31,180 You can't make this stuff up. 1165 01:24:31,840 --> 01:24:37,480 CIA Director George Tenet said last January that Iraq already had the 1166 01:24:37,480 --> 01:24:42,120 expertise to produce biological weapons in a matter of weeks. 1167 01:24:42,730 --> 01:24:48,610 Lie. And according to former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter, Saddam Hussein 1168 01:24:48,610 --> 01:24:53,030 needs only six months without inspectors looking over his shoulder to build 1169 01:24:53,030 --> 01:24:58,130 those weapons and deploy them on missiles capable of reaching Israel and 1170 01:24:58,130 --> 01:24:59,330 targets in the Middle East. 1171 01:24:59,790 --> 01:25:03,570 There may have been some deal -making blackmail there with Ritter to get him 1172 01:25:03,570 --> 01:25:07,510 say that, considering he said the exact opposite things later after he went to 1173 01:25:07,510 --> 01:25:09,410 court and was clear of what he was accused of. 1174 01:25:10,510 --> 01:25:11,730 But we'll leave that alone. 1175 01:25:13,040 --> 01:25:16,740 Yes, Saddam did have missiles that could reach Israel, that much was true. 1176 01:25:16,860 --> 01:25:19,200 Israel also had missiles that could reach Iraq. 1177 01:25:19,500 --> 01:25:23,760 The inspectors were removed after they were caught doubling as spies for the 1178 01:25:23,760 --> 01:25:26,920 CIA, which is another fact that Scott Ritter pointed out. 1179 01:25:27,300 --> 01:25:32,020 All the Iraqi obstruction between 1996 and 1998 had nothing to do with weapons 1180 01:25:32,020 --> 01:25:35,500 of mass destruction, everything to do with protecting themselves from the CIA 1181 01:25:35,500 --> 01:25:40,700 that was actively using the weapons inspection process to spy on Saddam 1182 01:25:41,290 --> 01:25:45,470 So I think what the American people need to know is that this was never about 1183 01:25:45,470 --> 01:25:49,770 weapons. This has always been about getting Saddam Hussein. And even in the 1184 01:25:49,770 --> 01:25:55,650 recent spin -up of this whole weapons issue, the Bush administration knew that 1185 01:25:55,650 --> 01:25:58,930 there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and yet they 1186 01:25:58,930 --> 01:26:03,730 the inspection process as a vehicle to achieve the ultimate goal and objective 1187 01:26:03,730 --> 01:26:04,890 of regime change. 1188 01:26:06,050 --> 01:26:07,530 Back to the PNAC authors. 1189 01:26:08,190 --> 01:26:11,530 Paul Wolfowitz made a statement before the U .S. House National Security 1190 01:26:11,530 --> 01:26:13,970 Committee, which called for a war with Iraq. 1191 01:26:14,430 --> 01:26:19,210 He also wrote a letter in 1999 claiming that the bloodlust for Iraq wasn't 1192 01:26:19,210 --> 01:26:23,930 partisan because a couple of Democrats, you may recognize them, Joseph Lieberman 1193 01:26:23,930 --> 01:26:26,790 and John Kerry, also agreed with their position. 1194 01:26:27,430 --> 01:26:29,770 Wow, that is interesting. 1195 01:26:30,250 --> 01:26:34,970 A vice presidential and a presidential hopeful just so happen to be those two 1196 01:26:34,970 --> 01:26:35,970 Democrats. 1197 01:26:36,200 --> 01:26:41,220 Well, Wolfowitz was right about something. It was not partisan, because 1198 01:26:41,220 --> 01:26:46,160 parties are one party on foreign affairs, and both parties wanted war. 1199 01:26:47,140 --> 01:26:51,220 Here's another one from the Zionist think tank written by Robert Kagan, the 1200 01:26:51,220 --> 01:26:55,040 -founder of PNAC, titled Saddam's Impending Victory. 1201 01:26:55,300 --> 01:27:00,320 It goes on to make comparisons to Hitler in the first few sentences. 1202 01:27:00,520 --> 01:27:02,400 They love creating new Hitlers. 1203 01:27:03,040 --> 01:27:08,360 It also talks about weapons of mass destruction and says that the lid is 1204 01:27:08,360 --> 01:27:10,760 to come off. Remember, this is in 1998. 1205 01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:12,920 The lid is about to come off. 1206 01:27:13,140 --> 01:27:18,600 The paper refers to Saddam's palaces as the so -called palaces, as if they were 1207 01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:22,840 something else, and hiding something, like the weapons of mass destruction it 1208 01:27:22,840 --> 01:27:24,400 mentions probably a dozen times. 1209 01:27:25,560 --> 01:27:26,880 Does that sound familiar? 1210 01:27:27,100 --> 01:27:31,040 It ought to, because it's the exact same lie that Judith Miller wrote in the New 1211 01:27:31,040 --> 01:27:32,040 York Times. 1212 01:27:32,060 --> 01:27:33,720 December 20th, 2001. 1213 01:27:34,520 --> 01:27:39,720 She said that she heard about secret weapons and mass destruction labs hidden 1214 01:27:39,720 --> 01:27:45,260 underneath the palaces of Saddam. She bolsters her report by citing first Paul 1215 01:27:45,260 --> 01:27:51,060 Wolfowitz and then Richard Perle. And she even went as far as trying to rope 1216 01:27:51,060 --> 01:27:57,420 Syria to weapons and mass destruction myth by sourcing Israeli intelligence. 1217 01:27:58,760 --> 01:28:04,460 You know how that happened? That's because the OSP and the DOD with Pearl 1218 01:28:04,460 --> 01:28:09,300 actually a mirror group for the Israeli cabal and the Knesset. They're all 1219 01:28:09,300 --> 01:28:15,180 saying the same BS, and she's just a media whore mouthpiece for this neocon 1220 01:28:15,180 --> 01:28:16,480 propaganda about Iraq. 1221 01:28:16,900 --> 01:28:23,360 To recap, she retold an older PNAC lie, and then added that Syria was involved 1222 01:28:23,360 --> 01:28:28,330 in it, and quoted Wolfowitz, Pearl, and Israel. 1223 01:28:29,990 --> 01:28:34,310 PNAC's co -founder Robert Kagan continues, For Saddam, whose 1224 01:28:34,310 --> 01:28:38,830 military strength had been decimated in 1991 and could not be restored for many 1225 01:28:38,830 --> 01:28:43,390 years, weapons of mass destruction provided the quickest, surest, and 1226 01:28:43,390 --> 01:28:46,570 only route back to strategic dominance in the Middle East. 1227 01:28:46,850 --> 01:28:50,430 As Rolf Eckert, the former head of UNESCO, the UN's weapons monitoring 1228 01:28:50,430 --> 01:28:55,060 operation, said last year, Weapons of mass destruction make the difference 1229 01:28:55,060 --> 01:28:58,880 between Iraq's being a regional power and a major international power. 1230 01:28:59,880 --> 01:29:04,080 Finding and destroying Saddam's ability to produce weapons of mass destruction, 1231 01:29:04,320 --> 01:29:08,780 therefore, was an essential part of guaranteeing that Saddam could not again 1232 01:29:08,780 --> 01:29:11,180 threaten neighboring states, Israel. 1233 01:29:11,940 --> 01:29:16,640 The UN's effort to rid Iraq of such weapons capabilities was supposed to put 1234 01:29:16,640 --> 01:29:19,200 lid on Saddam's grand strategic ambitions. 1235 01:29:19,700 --> 01:29:21,900 Today, the lid is about to come off. 1236 01:29:22,410 --> 01:29:26,670 Saddam Hussein, weak, isolated, and impoverished as he is, has decided to 1237 01:29:26,670 --> 01:29:27,589 his big gamble. 1238 01:29:27,590 --> 01:29:32,330 The crisis he set off last October when he blocked UN inspectors came to head 1239 01:29:32,330 --> 01:29:38,030 last week when Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz told UNESCO Chief 1240 01:29:38,030 --> 01:29:42,870 Butler that a number of sites in Iraq, the so -called presidential palaces, 1241 01:29:42,950 --> 01:29:45,610 would remain off -limits for two or more months at least. 1242 01:29:46,270 --> 01:29:50,670 Saddam Hussein also issued an ultimatum last week calling for the UN to wrap up 1243 01:29:50,670 --> 01:29:53,200 its inspections by May, and lift the sanctions. 1244 01:29:53,540 --> 01:29:58,340 He was certain of it. He said Saddam was sure to do this in a matter of months 1245 01:29:58,340 --> 01:29:59,680 if we didn't invade Iraq. 1246 01:29:59,980 --> 01:30:02,360 Of course, years went by. Nothing happened. 1247 01:30:02,780 --> 01:30:06,740 But the same excuse and lies about urgency were reused anyway. 1248 01:30:10,090 --> 01:30:14,510 As if all this hasn't been bad enough, Robert Kagan wrote another piece called 1249 01:30:14,510 --> 01:30:18,970 Speaking of Iraq, which reiterated the same rhetoric about weapons of mass 1250 01:30:18,970 --> 01:30:21,770 destruction, gotta have regime change, etc., etc. 1251 01:30:22,190 --> 01:30:27,190 To give a quick quote, he said, The only acceptable strategy is one that 1252 01:30:27,190 --> 01:30:30,670 eliminates the possibility that Iraq will be able to use or threaten to use 1253 01:30:30,670 --> 01:30:33,450 weapons of mass destruction in the near term. 1254 01:30:33,890 --> 01:30:38,530 This means a willingness to undertake military action as diplomacy is clearly 1255 01:30:38,530 --> 01:30:42,900 failing. In the long run, it means removing Saddam Hussein and his regime 1256 01:30:42,900 --> 01:30:47,440 power. That now needs to be the aim of American foreign policy. 1257 01:30:47,660 --> 01:30:51,100 Well, I think we know whose foreign policy that was really the aim of. 1258 01:30:51,920 --> 01:30:56,340 Next, we have a paper written by William Crystal and Robert Kagan, the two co 1259 01:30:56,340 --> 01:30:57,600 -founders of PNAC. 1260 01:30:57,840 --> 01:31:04,120 It's titled, Bombing Iraq Isn't Enough, January 30, 1998. 1261 01:31:05,460 --> 01:31:09,440 Doug Feist, working under the Zionist madman, the Prince of Darkness, Richard 1262 01:31:09,440 --> 01:31:13,620 Pearl, ran a special office in the Department of Defense called the Office 1263 01:31:13,620 --> 01:31:18,320 Special Plans. Oh, he was special, all right. The OSP had a mirror group in 1264 01:31:18,320 --> 01:31:20,240 Israel and both met with Israeli generals. 1265 01:31:20,960 --> 01:31:24,340 Feist's special cabal did a lot worse than cherry -pick intelligence. 1266 01:31:24,680 --> 01:31:26,580 They flat -out fabricated it. 1267 01:31:26,940 --> 01:31:31,640 Feith used his Pentagon office to produce alternative intelligence reports 1268 01:31:31,640 --> 01:31:36,140 linked Saddam to al -Qaeda and passed them on to the White House. Some of it, 1269 01:31:36,160 --> 01:31:41,260 like a report that 9 -11 hijacker Mohammed Atta met with Iraqi 1270 01:31:41,260 --> 01:31:43,500 Prague, has been widely discredited. 1271 01:31:44,140 --> 01:31:48,260 One of the reasons people were told we were going to war in Iraq was because an 1272 01:31:48,260 --> 01:31:51,760 imminent attack with weapons of mass destruction was about to happen. 1273 01:31:52,020 --> 01:31:54,780 I don't believe anybody in the U .S. government said that. 1274 01:31:55,210 --> 01:31:59,030 This is Donald Rumsfeld. Iraq poses a serious and mounting threat to our 1275 01:31:59,030 --> 01:32:03,470 country. No terrorist state poses a greater or more immediate threat to the 1276 01:32:03,470 --> 01:32:07,570 security of our people and the stability of the world than the regime of Saddam 1277 01:32:07,570 --> 01:32:11,510 Hussein. The Iraqi regime is a threat to any American. 1278 01:32:11,770 --> 01:32:15,770 There is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction. 1279 01:32:16,250 --> 01:32:21,210 There is no doubt that he is amassing them to use against our friends, against 1280 01:32:21,210 --> 01:32:22,910 our allies, and against us. 1281 01:32:23,290 --> 01:32:27,810 Price's office took PNAC's old lies as well as their new lies and presented 1282 01:32:27,810 --> 01:32:28,810 as intelligence. 1283 01:32:29,170 --> 01:32:30,430 These were not mistakes. 1284 01:32:30,730 --> 01:32:31,750 They were deceptions. 1285 01:32:32,070 --> 01:32:33,410 PNAC wrote the script. 1286 01:32:33,690 --> 01:32:37,830 To understand why I drive home the point that PNAC was the central hub for 1287 01:32:37,830 --> 01:32:41,670 creating a case for war in Iraq, just have a look at some of their policy 1288 01:32:41,670 --> 01:32:45,730 papers. These quotes are in their own words from their own website. 1289 01:32:46,050 --> 01:32:50,550 And the authors, who also wrote Israeli policy papers stating the same things, 1290 01:32:50,960 --> 01:32:54,960 wrote exactly what became the free invasion rhetoric to invade Iraq. 1291 01:32:55,520 --> 01:33:01,080 1. The PNAC letter to President Clinton in 1998, Paul Wolkowitz wrote, 1292 01:33:01,620 --> 01:33:06,640 The policy of containment of Saddam Hussein has been steadily eroding over 1293 01:33:06,640 --> 01:33:11,280 past several months. As recent events have demonstrated, we can no longer 1294 01:33:11,280 --> 01:33:15,260 on our partners in the Gulf War Coalition to continue to uphold 1295 01:33:15,260 --> 01:33:18,580 punish Saddam when he blocks or invades UN inspectors. 1296 01:33:19,130 --> 01:33:23,570 Our ability to ensure that Saddam Hussein is not producing weapons of mass 1297 01:33:23,570 --> 01:33:26,710 destruction, therefore, has substantially diminished. 1298 01:33:27,230 --> 01:33:31,350 Even if full inspections were eventually to resume, which now seems highly 1299 01:33:31,350 --> 01:33:35,630 unlikely, experience has shown that it is difficult, if not impossible, to 1300 01:33:35,630 --> 01:33:38,270 monitor Iraq's chemical and biological production. 1301 01:33:38,710 --> 01:33:43,780 The lengthy period during which inspectors have been unable to enter 1302 01:33:43,780 --> 01:33:48,500 facilities, has made it even less likely that they will be able to uncover all 1303 01:33:48,500 --> 01:33:49,500 of Saddam's secrets. 1304 01:33:50,160 --> 01:33:55,760 As a result, in the not -too -distant future, remember, this is 1998, in the 1305 01:33:55,760 --> 01:33:59,940 -too -distant future, we will be unable to determine with any reasonable level 1306 01:33:59,940 --> 01:34:03,100 of confidence whether Iraq does or does not possess such weapons. 1307 01:34:04,440 --> 01:34:07,760 Notice how he assumes that he has them and that they are secrets. 1308 01:34:08,560 --> 01:34:10,620 and that they're just unable to find them now. 1309 01:34:11,460 --> 01:34:15,260 He's starting with a conclusion and supporting it with scare tactics. 1310 01:34:16,540 --> 01:34:17,540 Sound familiar? 1311 01:34:17,860 --> 01:34:23,340 Is that not verbatim what was used as propaganda in 2002 and 2003 as a pretext 1312 01:34:23,340 --> 01:34:24,339 to invade Iraq? 1313 01:34:24,340 --> 01:34:28,060 They even use the same catchphrases. Weapons of mass destruction. 1314 01:34:28,620 --> 01:34:31,740 Because it's not like the U .S. has or sells any of those. 1315 01:34:32,530 --> 01:34:34,610 and a hoarding inspectors. 1316 01:34:34,870 --> 01:34:39,050 Of course, Paul Wolfowitz never offered any evidence for the claims he was 1317 01:34:39,050 --> 01:34:43,890 making, and he would flip -flop his rationale for a war in Iraq so long as a 1318 01:34:43,890 --> 01:34:44,890 in Iraq happened. 1319 01:34:45,010 --> 01:34:49,410 When he was finally cornered and questioned about it, his only way out, 1320 01:34:49,410 --> 01:34:55,350 course, was to evoke 9 -11 and hope that by repeating 9 -11 enough times, there 1321 01:34:55,350 --> 01:34:59,470 would be enough emotional smoke in the room for him to worm away and not have 1322 01:34:59,470 --> 01:35:00,470 answer. 1323 01:35:00,750 --> 01:35:02,690 Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Welcome, gentlemen. 1324 01:35:03,810 --> 01:35:08,330 As you can see, a lot of the questions here relate to the high cost of the war, 1325 01:35:08,410 --> 01:35:11,730 not only in resources, but in human lives, of course. 1326 01:35:12,170 --> 01:35:16,310 And I'd like to get at the key question of what we're really doing there. 1327 01:35:17,050 --> 01:35:20,970 And, of course, in the months leading up to the war, there was a steady drumbeat 1328 01:35:20,970 --> 01:35:24,210 of weapons of mass destruction, weapons of mass destruction, weapons of mass 1329 01:35:24,210 --> 01:35:27,110 destruction. And Secretary Wolfowitz, in your... 1330 01:35:27,450 --> 01:35:30,550 almost hour -long testimony here this morning. 1331 01:35:31,230 --> 01:35:35,750 Once, only once, did you mention weapons of mass destruction, and that was an ad 1332 01:35:35,750 --> 01:35:38,650 lib. I don't think it's in any of your written testimony. 1333 01:35:39,210 --> 01:35:44,430 And so we're seeing shifting justifications, I think, for what we're 1334 01:35:44,430 --> 01:35:51,270 there. At a hearing in May, I asked Secretary Wolfowitz the question. A lot 1335 01:35:51,270 --> 01:35:54,810 your answer dealt with it will help with the peace between the Israelis and the 1336 01:35:54,810 --> 01:35:55,810 Palestinians. 1337 01:35:57,290 --> 01:36:02,650 There's been allegations that this will help with our war on terrorism. We just 1338 01:36:02,650 --> 01:36:08,590 haven't seen the proof of any linkage between Saddam Hussein and al -Qaeda. 1339 01:36:08,590 --> 01:36:14,310 now, today, the testimony is over and over again about what a despicable 1340 01:36:14,310 --> 01:36:17,590 Saddam Hussein is who brutalizes people. 1341 01:36:18,250 --> 01:36:22,570 But at the same time, in Liberia, Charles Taylor has been indicted, and 1342 01:36:22,570 --> 01:36:26,570 according to the prosecutor, he's responsible for the killing, raping, and 1343 01:36:26,570 --> 01:36:28,190 maiming of 500 ,000 people. 1344 01:36:28,730 --> 01:36:33,490 And the arrest warrant issued by the U .N. back court in Sierra Leone charged 1345 01:36:33,490 --> 01:36:37,070 Taylor with unlawful killing, sexual and physical violence, use of child labor 1346 01:36:37,070 --> 01:36:41,310 and child soldiers, looting, burning, and the murder of U .N. peacekeepers. 1347 01:36:44,639 --> 01:36:48,300 alleges that Taylor had a close alliance with the notorious murderous 1348 01:36:48,300 --> 01:36:52,900 Revolutionary United Front in Sierra Leone. The RUF was infamous for 1349 01:36:52,900 --> 01:36:58,520 dismembering its victims, having a cut hand unit to chop off limbs, and a burn 1350 01:36:58,520 --> 01:37:01,200 house unit to torch houses of suspected opponents. 1351 01:37:01,660 --> 01:37:06,060 And Taylor once had a 13 -year -old daughter publicly flogged for 1352 01:37:06,060 --> 01:37:07,049 school. 1353 01:37:07,050 --> 01:37:11,390 At the same time, Human Rights Watch is saying that Charles Taylor is one of the 1354 01:37:11,390 --> 01:37:15,090 single greatest causes of spreading wars in West Africa. 1355 01:37:15,570 --> 01:37:21,510 And so all the testimony this morning, and indeed the submission of the 1356 01:37:21,510 --> 01:37:27,210 op -eds, is about what a tyrant Saddam Hussein is, who brutalizes his people, 1357 01:37:27,290 --> 01:37:31,150 but we're doing nothing in Liberia. So it comes back to... 1358 01:37:32,110 --> 01:37:36,110 to the questions of the unified message coming from the administration as to 1359 01:37:36,110 --> 01:37:42,270 what we're doing there and why we didn't wait for the United Nations Security 1360 01:37:42,270 --> 01:37:49,090 Council to do their inspections. Now we're in this endeavor, huge cost not 1361 01:37:49,090 --> 01:37:52,590 only in resources but in lives. So I'll ask the question, Secretary Wolfowitz, 1362 01:37:52,750 --> 01:37:55,230 give you a chance. What are we doing there? 1363 01:37:57,520 --> 01:38:01,640 Senator Chafee, what we have done there is to remove a regime that was a threat 1364 01:38:01,640 --> 01:38:02,640 to the United States. 1365 01:38:03,160 --> 01:38:06,500 We've said all along, if you go back to Secretary Powell's presentation at the 1366 01:38:06,500 --> 01:38:10,180 United Nations, all three of those concerns were stated very clearly. 1367 01:38:10,680 --> 01:38:14,920 The concern about weapons of mass destruction, the concern about Saddam's 1368 01:38:14,920 --> 01:38:18,700 to terrorism, which are there, not as clear as the case on weapons of mass 1369 01:38:18,700 --> 01:38:20,940 destruction. Secretary Chafee, I'm a cynic. 1370 01:38:21,580 --> 01:38:25,180 So when you make these assertions, give us some proof. 1371 01:38:25,690 --> 01:38:27,050 A threat to the United States? How? 1372 01:38:27,790 --> 01:38:33,370 I suggest go back and read, and if you want to give me an hour, we can have a 1373 01:38:33,370 --> 01:38:36,150 different kind of hearing, but if you go back and read Secretary Powell's 1374 01:38:36,150 --> 01:38:41,750 testimony, it is very clear, and it is the concern that the combination of 1375 01:38:41,750 --> 01:38:43,990 weapons of mass destruction and terrorists. 1376 01:38:45,350 --> 01:38:50,950 Okay, he didn't ask what the claims were. He asked, what's the proof for 1377 01:38:50,950 --> 01:38:53,230 claims? We all know what Powell said. 1378 01:38:53,740 --> 01:38:55,160 We all know what the claims were. 1379 01:38:55,640 --> 01:38:59,280 Powell restated the stuff that you said, and you're a liar. 1380 01:38:59,800 --> 01:39:03,600 Where's the proof for weapons of mass destruction and links to terrorism? 1381 01:39:04,080 --> 01:39:08,020 All Wolfowitz can do is say, well, Colin Powell said it too. 1382 01:39:08,880 --> 01:39:11,360 And, of course, 9 -11, 9 -11, 9 -11. 1383 01:39:12,400 --> 01:39:16,600 It poses a kind of threat which maybe 10 years ago we would have thought we 1384 01:39:16,600 --> 01:39:20,520 could live with. And I would have said 10 years ago my whole view about Iraq 1385 01:39:20,520 --> 01:39:21,520 would have been very different. 1386 01:39:21,980 --> 01:39:25,720 Ten years ago, I would have said Iraq, as terrible as it is, is a problem of 1387 01:39:25,720 --> 01:39:26,720 Iraqi people. 1388 01:39:26,780 --> 01:39:30,620 I said all along I believe we should have given those people more help in 1389 01:39:30,620 --> 01:39:31,680 getting rid of that tyrant. 1390 01:39:31,960 --> 01:39:35,660 But September 11th put it in a different light, and taking on that tyrant 1391 01:39:35,660 --> 01:39:40,020 forcefully meant, in fact, if anything, that we had to take that threat more 1392 01:39:40,020 --> 01:39:44,120 seriously. So all three of those concerns are stated in Secretary 1393 01:39:44,120 --> 01:39:48,100 testimony. I talked about the mistreatment of the people. Could I 1394 01:39:48,100 --> 01:39:49,900 because my time is limited, unfortunately. 1395 01:39:50,750 --> 01:39:55,910 You just said that this is the 10 years ago you wouldn't have agreed to regime 1396 01:39:55,910 --> 01:40:01,110 change. However, in 1998, you as a member of the New American Century sent 1397 01:40:01,110 --> 01:40:03,830 letter to President Clinton. Senator, I said something different. No, wait a 1398 01:40:03,830 --> 01:40:07,190 second. You were saying we're seeing it in the light of September 11th. That's 1399 01:40:07,190 --> 01:40:10,550 just not true. You've been advocating for regime change all through the late 1400 01:40:10,550 --> 01:40:12,310 90s. And in this letter. 1401 01:40:13,340 --> 01:40:14,440 Can I explain? 1402 01:40:14,740 --> 01:40:17,620 The strategy should aim above all. This is 1998. 1403 01:40:17,900 --> 01:40:22,420 The strategy should aim above all at the removal of Saddam Hussein's regime from 1404 01:40:22,420 --> 01:40:23,880 power. You signed that letter. 1405 01:40:24,200 --> 01:40:25,640 Senator, there's a very big difference. 1406 01:40:25,860 --> 01:40:26,860 I was very clear. 1407 01:40:27,120 --> 01:40:30,400 I don't know if it's in that letter, but elsewhere. I never thought before 1408 01:40:30,400 --> 01:40:36,540 September 11th that we should use tens of thousands of American troops to do 1409 01:40:36,540 --> 01:40:39,920 job for the Iraqis. I never thought we should go to Baghdad even at the end of 1410 01:40:39,920 --> 01:40:41,520 the Gulf War when I thought we in. 1411 01:40:41,900 --> 01:40:43,620 Should have done some other things we didn't do. 1412 01:40:43,960 --> 01:40:48,140 I thought up until September 11th that our job was to help the Iraqi people. 1413 01:40:48,460 --> 01:40:52,920 I think the mistake we made in 1991 was they rose up against Saddam. They got no 1414 01:40:52,920 --> 01:40:53,920 help from us. 1415 01:40:54,160 --> 01:40:58,280 September 11th changed the stakes, in my view, for the United States and made it 1416 01:40:58,280 --> 01:41:02,540 a different matter in terms of using American troops. The end is the same, 1417 01:41:02,540 --> 01:41:05,880 you're not distinguishing the means, and the means are absolutely crucial. 1418 01:41:06,460 --> 01:41:09,680 Putting American troops' lives at stake is something... 1419 01:41:10,300 --> 01:41:13,620 that we do when our security is threatened. Our security was threatened. 1420 01:41:13,840 --> 01:41:17,220 The troops out there, I think, understand that it is threatened. I 1421 01:41:17,220 --> 01:41:20,520 understand that they're part of fighting the war on terrorism as we go on today, 1422 01:41:20,740 --> 01:41:21,980 and that is important. 1423 01:41:23,100 --> 01:41:28,520 I'll just finish up by saying I really resent when witnesses talk that this is 1424 01:41:28,520 --> 01:41:32,320 in the light of September 11th when the evidence is the contrary. 1425 01:41:33,360 --> 01:41:37,320 You're misrepresenting what I did in that letter. Over and over again, 1426 01:41:37,320 --> 01:41:39,460 the late 90s, the Paris regime changed in Iraq. 1427 01:41:40,220 --> 01:41:44,260 Can I try again then, since I believe you're not representing my views 1428 01:41:44,420 --> 01:41:49,280 It is true. I thought from the end of the Gulf War up until September 11th of 1429 01:41:49,280 --> 01:41:50,280 2001, 1430 01:41:51,230 --> 01:41:54,630 that it was important for the United States to help Iraqis get rid of that 1431 01:41:54,630 --> 01:41:56,850 regime, and that is a policy of regime change. 1432 01:41:57,090 --> 01:42:01,470 But I did not believe that it was either necessary or justified to use large 1433 01:42:01,470 --> 01:42:03,990 -scale American military forces to do that job. 1434 01:42:04,210 --> 01:42:08,310 At the end of the Gulf War, all it would have taken was a minimum application of 1435 01:42:08,310 --> 01:42:12,170 U .S. air power and some of the artillery that were sitting on the south 1436 01:42:12,170 --> 01:42:13,730 the Euphrates River. 1437 01:42:14,250 --> 01:42:18,510 September 11th changed the stakes for us, in my view, dramatically, and it 1438 01:42:18,510 --> 01:42:19,770 changed the whole way of looking. 1439 01:42:20,460 --> 01:42:24,900 and an uncertain but still disturbing threat of the combination of weapons of 1440 01:42:24,900 --> 01:42:26,060 mass destruction and terrorism. 1441 01:42:26,360 --> 01:42:27,620 Well, I wish we had more time. 1442 01:42:29,040 --> 01:42:30,580 Crystal and Kagan continue. 1443 01:42:31,300 --> 01:42:36,400 Saddam Hussein must go. This imperative may seem too simple for some experts or 1444 01:42:36,400 --> 01:42:40,220 too daunting for the Clinton administration, but if the United States 1445 01:42:40,220 --> 01:42:44,060 committed, as the President said in his State of the Union message, to ensuring 1446 01:42:44,060 --> 01:42:47,700 that the Iraqi leader never again uses weapons of mass destruction. 1447 01:42:48,100 --> 01:42:53,600 The only way to achieve that goal is to remove Mr. Hussein and his regime from 1448 01:42:53,600 --> 01:42:56,440 power. Any policy short of that will fail. 1449 01:42:56,640 --> 01:43:00,760 Mr. Hussein has obviously fought through this scenario, and he likes his 1450 01:43:00,760 --> 01:43:05,260 chances. That is why he provoked the present crisis, fully aware that it 1451 01:43:05,260 --> 01:43:06,700 lead to American bombing strikes. 1452 01:43:07,000 --> 01:43:10,380 He has survived them before, and he is confident that he can survive them 1453 01:43:11,070 --> 01:43:15,730 They will not succeed in forcing him to abandon his efforts to obtain weapons of 1454 01:43:15,730 --> 01:43:16,730 mass destruction. 1455 01:43:16,850 --> 01:43:22,710 The only way to remove the threat of those weapons is to remove him. That 1456 01:43:22,710 --> 01:43:28,790 using air power and ground forces and finishing the task left undone in 1991. 1457 01:43:29,430 --> 01:43:30,910 But wait, there's more. 1458 01:43:31,130 --> 01:43:35,230 PNAC cranked out this one on July 30, 2001. 1459 01:43:36,000 --> 01:43:38,900 just a month and 12 days before the September 11th attacks. 1460 01:43:39,280 --> 01:43:43,880 It has a big fat picture of Osama bin Laden's face on it. Again, this 1461 01:43:43,880 --> 01:43:47,300 information was juxtaposed with a bunch of rhetoric about Saddam Hussein. 1462 01:43:47,540 --> 01:43:51,960 But they wrote, For bin Laden's sleepers, agents already outside of 1463 01:43:51,960 --> 01:43:55,780 awaiting the right moment to strike an American target, the situation is 1464 01:43:55,780 --> 01:43:56,920 probably a little better. 1465 01:43:57,140 --> 01:44:00,480 The lies about Iraq and 9 -11 are all inside PNAC's papers. 1466 01:44:00,680 --> 01:44:04,820 The authors are the same people involved in Israeli spy rings and Israeli arms 1467 01:44:04,820 --> 01:44:09,660 sales. and at least two of them, John Lehman and James R. Thompson, were on 1468 01:44:09,660 --> 01:44:13,920 9 -11 Commission. From the pre -war hike to the cover -up, they were involved 1469 01:44:13,920 --> 01:44:15,220 every step of the way. 1470 01:44:19,340 --> 01:44:24,040 Four months before the 9 -11 attacks, Pearl Fife and Wolfowitz were discussing 1471 01:44:24,040 --> 01:44:28,700 with the Turkish ambassador about how to divide up Iraq, and asked what Turkey 1472 01:44:28,700 --> 01:44:32,180 would need in exchange for allowing the U .S. to hit the north through their 1473 01:44:32,180 --> 01:44:33,180 airspace. 1474 01:44:33,550 --> 01:44:39,830 and the Turks got it in the form of a $9 billion aid package awarded to 1475 01:44:39,830 --> 01:44:45,550 Turkey and Israel, which was lumped on erroneously to the defense budget bill 1476 01:44:45,550 --> 01:44:50,350 large. Congress appropriated the money, but then unconstitutionally, the Defense 1477 01:44:50,350 --> 01:44:52,250 Department allocated it out. 1478 01:44:52,710 --> 01:44:54,250 To itself, of course. 1479 01:44:54,830 --> 01:44:58,670 Douglas Veith and Paul Wolfowitz were on the payroll of Northrop Grumman, 1480 01:44:58,770 --> 01:45:01,950 Richard Pearl, the Defense for Policy chairman. 1481 01:45:02,510 --> 01:45:06,730 was locked in with Boeing through Trireme and also Hollinger. 1482 01:45:06,950 --> 01:45:12,010 Pearl and Fife also set up a little go -between in Turkey to act as a 1483 01:45:12,170 --> 01:45:18,410 selling arms there where they had sent the newly acquired cash via aid, a .k 1484 01:45:18,550 --> 01:45:20,390 earmarked recycled military spending. 1485 01:45:21,030 --> 01:45:25,610 Anyone refusing to acknowledge that the Iraq war was planned and sold to us by 1486 01:45:25,610 --> 01:45:29,230 this cabal of dual -citizen Israelis must be a fool. 1487 01:45:29,510 --> 01:45:34,550 They wrote verbatim the pre -war hype, Five years before the war, these same 1488 01:45:34,550 --> 01:45:38,650 people later faked evidence for their deceptions and used moles in the media 1489 01:45:38,650 --> 01:45:42,190 repeat the garbage that they had already been writing in the PNAC papers. 1490 01:45:43,390 --> 01:45:48,770 But until born -again Zionist Bush, no one was stupid enough to listen to it. 1491 01:45:49,810 --> 01:45:54,510 200 spies were busted in the largest spy ring ever conducted on U .S. soil. 1492 01:45:54,730 --> 01:45:58,570 Months after 9 -11, Israel was caught spying again on the United States. 1493 01:45:59,130 --> 01:46:03,270 through Department of Defense employee Lawrence Franklin, who worked out of an 1494 01:46:03,270 --> 01:46:07,370 office which met with Israeli generals and was run by Douglas Feith, another 1495 01:46:07,370 --> 01:46:08,370 PNAC author. 1496 01:46:08,890 --> 01:46:14,190 Feith is a profiteer whose company, Feith & Zell, is partners with an 1497 01:46:14,190 --> 01:46:19,230 settler, Mark Zell. The law firm got to delegate reconstruction contracts in 1498 01:46:19,230 --> 01:46:20,230 Iraq. 1499 01:46:20,720 --> 01:46:25,020 Lieutenant Colonel Karen Krakowski explains how military officers' opinions 1500 01:46:25,020 --> 01:46:28,480 dismissed or even punished by the civilian cabal brought in by the 1501 01:46:28,480 --> 01:46:31,500 Enterprise Institute, the parent group of PNAC. 1502 01:46:31,920 --> 01:46:36,800 She said, But in fact, my outspokenness was probably never noticed because 1503 01:46:36,800 --> 01:46:39,620 civilian professionals and military officers were largely invisible. 1504 01:46:39,980 --> 01:46:43,860 We were easily replaceable and dispensable, not part of the team 1505 01:46:43,860 --> 01:46:47,380 the American Enterprise Institute, the Center for Security Policy and the 1506 01:46:47,380 --> 01:46:48,720 Washington Institute for Near Affairs. 1507 01:46:49,640 --> 01:46:53,660 An early winter incident occurred that was geared into my memory. A co -worker 1508 01:46:53,660 --> 01:46:56,720 and I were suddenly directed to go down to the mall entrance to pick up some 1509 01:46:56,720 --> 01:46:57,720 Israeli generals. 1510 01:46:58,060 --> 01:47:01,960 Post 9 -11 rules require one escort for every three visitors, and there were six 1511 01:47:01,960 --> 01:47:02,980 or seven of them waiting. 1512 01:47:03,600 --> 01:47:05,920 The Navy Lieutenant Commander and I hustled down. 1513 01:47:06,200 --> 01:47:09,560 Before we could apologize for the delay, the leader of the pack surged ahead, 1514 01:47:09,700 --> 01:47:13,380 his colleagues in close formation, leaving us to double time behind the 1515 01:47:13,380 --> 01:47:16,480 they sped to the Undersecretary Pipe's office on the fourth floor. 1516 01:47:17,480 --> 01:47:21,220 My fellow escort and I chatted on the way back to our office about how the 1517 01:47:21,220 --> 01:47:24,640 generals knew where they were going. Most foreign visitors to the five -sided 1518 01:47:24,640 --> 01:47:29,220 asylum don't. And how the generals didn't have to sign in. I felt a bit 1519 01:47:29,220 --> 01:47:30,220 by the whole thing. 1520 01:47:30,980 --> 01:47:34,760 The Israelis were visiting the Department of Defense without having to 1521 01:47:34,760 --> 01:47:38,340 and going straight to Feist's office, where the secretive Office of Special 1522 01:47:38,340 --> 01:47:39,340 Plans was headed. 1523 01:47:39,400 --> 01:47:43,540 The same office Larry Franklin worked for, who was sentenced to 12 years in 1524 01:47:43,540 --> 01:47:46,420 for spying for AIPAC, the Israeli lobby. 1525 01:47:46,890 --> 01:47:50,970 Why were Israeli generals visiting a secretive group under the office of the 1526 01:47:50,970 --> 01:47:55,970 Clean Break and PNAC authors, where an Israeli spy was also caught red -handed, 1527 01:47:56,090 --> 01:48:00,670 and none of it ever made the news media? In fact, normal intelligence channels 1528 01:48:00,670 --> 01:48:04,410 weren't even aware that Fife's secret office existed. 1529 01:48:05,890 --> 01:48:10,090 I'm not saying you did not do your duty, please understand, but my point is, as 1530 01:48:10,090 --> 01:48:15,410 a congressman who trusted what I was being told, I'm not only going to tell 1531 01:48:15,410 --> 01:48:19,210 committee, Senator Dorgan, but I am on the Armed Services Committee, and I was 1532 01:48:19,210 --> 01:48:24,370 being told this information, and I wish I'd had the wisdom then that I might 1533 01:48:24,370 --> 01:48:26,450 have now. I would have known what to ask. 1534 01:48:26,670 --> 01:48:32,930 But I think many of my colleagues that did not have the experience on the 1535 01:48:32,930 --> 01:48:36,390 Intelligence Committee, we just pretty much accepted. 1536 01:48:37,310 --> 01:48:44,210 So where along the way, how did these people so early on get so 1537 01:48:44,210 --> 01:48:45,210 much power? 1538 01:48:45,530 --> 01:48:51,490 that they had more influence in the administration to make decisions than 1539 01:48:51,590 --> 01:48:52,590 the professionals. 1540 01:48:54,310 --> 01:48:59,870 Let me try to answer you first, but let me say right off the bat I'm glad to see 1541 01:48:59,870 --> 01:49:01,150 you here. Thank you, sir. 1542 01:49:01,350 --> 01:49:06,290 As a Republican, I'm somewhat embarrassed by the fact that you're the 1543 01:49:06,290 --> 01:49:08,230 member of my party here. I agree. 1544 01:49:08,470 --> 01:49:09,470 But I understand it. 1545 01:49:10,930 --> 01:49:12,670 I'd answer you with two words. 1546 01:49:14,800 --> 01:49:16,880 Let me put the article in there and make it three. 1547 01:49:17,620 --> 01:49:18,720 The Vice President. 1548 01:49:22,920 --> 01:49:27,540 I'd have to interject something similar to what I said to Senator Feinstein. 1549 01:49:27,900 --> 01:49:32,980 To a lot of the analysts working these issues, we weren't aware of what was 1550 01:49:32,980 --> 01:49:38,460 going on up there, whether it was the Vice President or somebody else. To give 1551 01:49:38,460 --> 01:49:42,980 you an illustration, I didn't even know about the existence of the Fife office. 1552 01:49:43,660 --> 01:49:48,680 in the Pentagon until maybe six, seven months before the war. 1553 01:49:49,420 --> 01:49:54,300 And the way I found out about the existence of Mr. Feitz's office, because 1554 01:49:54,300 --> 01:49:58,800 somebody who worked on terrorism in our bureau showed me a product produced by 1555 01:49:58,800 --> 01:49:59,599 that office. 1556 01:49:59,600 --> 01:50:01,860 As I recall, it was two pages long. 1557 01:50:02,100 --> 01:50:06,280 And it was the evidence linking Iraq with terrorism. 1558 01:50:06,920 --> 01:50:12,200 And the person was giving it to me effectively as comic relief. 1559 01:50:13,160 --> 01:50:17,940 saying, can you believe what's on this paper was as if I had gotten my morning 1560 01:50:17,940 --> 01:50:21,980 traffic someday because there's a lot of junk and intelligence that the analyst 1561 01:50:21,980 --> 01:50:26,320 knows that has to be sifted out to get to the real colonels, and it looked like 1562 01:50:26,320 --> 01:50:28,000 an unsorted pile of junk. 1563 01:50:29,000 --> 01:50:34,640 And this is one reason the Fife office, which does relate to the Secretary of 1564 01:50:34,640 --> 01:50:39,700 Defense and then to others, becomes extremely important. And I didn't go 1565 01:50:39,700 --> 01:50:42,300 in what I read here. It's in my written. 1566 01:50:43,909 --> 01:50:49,970 those kinds of nodes and offices must be completely eliminated because 1567 01:50:49,970 --> 01:50:54,770 people aren't even aware of them. There aren't standard communications between 1568 01:50:54,770 --> 01:50:56,550 them and the rest of the intelligence community. 1569 01:50:56,830 --> 01:51:02,110 And more importantly, there has been no vetting of their personnel whatsoever 1570 01:51:02,110 --> 01:51:06,870 for professionalism, for experience in that field. That office basically was 1571 01:51:06,870 --> 01:51:10,670 writing intelligence, which was getting far more attention than a lot of what... 1572 01:51:10,920 --> 01:51:15,400 Carl and I, you know, were working on, and yet it had none of the professional 1573 01:51:15,400 --> 01:51:19,100 standards, you know, that it applied to the rest of the intelligence community. 1574 01:51:19,320 --> 01:51:20,980 And it was so low profile. 1575 01:51:21,600 --> 01:51:26,180 If you didn't know what was going on behind the scene, to many of us, it was 1576 01:51:26,180 --> 01:51:28,240 utterly invisible until the last moments. 1577 01:51:28,880 --> 01:51:32,980 Congressman Jones, if I can extend what Wayne White mentioned with regard to the 1578 01:51:32,980 --> 01:51:36,940 detached nature of some of what was going on in the Office of Secretary of 1579 01:51:36,940 --> 01:51:38,300 Defense and Office of Vice President. 1580 01:51:40,560 --> 01:51:44,140 what this little group under Mr. Fife was doing and trying to come up with all 1581 01:51:44,140 --> 01:51:47,340 the scraps, trying to show a link with al -Qaeda. 1582 01:51:48,160 --> 01:51:54,320 They did put together a briefing, which was briefed out at Langley to Mr. 1583 01:51:54,460 --> 01:51:58,080 Tennant and to members of the Counterterrorist Center. Again, I wasn't 1584 01:51:58,080 --> 01:52:00,180 on counterterrorism at the time. I didn't receive the briefing. 1585 01:52:02,160 --> 01:52:05,860 But it wasn't the whole briefing, as we later learned, that they... 1586 01:52:06,140 --> 01:52:07,360 provided down at the White House. 1587 01:52:07,560 --> 01:52:11,680 And the way I and others found out about this was in a hearing of the Senate 1588 01:52:11,680 --> 01:52:15,900 Select Committee of Intelligence, a closed hearing, in which one of Senator 1589 01:52:15,900 --> 01:52:20,140 Feinstein's colleagues had before him the version of the briefing slides that 1590 01:52:20,140 --> 01:52:21,140 was given. 1591 01:52:21,340 --> 01:52:24,860 And my colleague, who was then Deputy Chief of the Counterterrorist Center, 1592 01:52:24,860 --> 01:52:29,220 the version that he was given. And the version that came to the Intelligence 1593 01:52:29,220 --> 01:52:34,020 Committee was missing the couple of slides that were devoted to 1594 01:52:35,040 --> 01:52:39,640 criticizing the community for how they were missing this big link between 1595 01:52:39,640 --> 01:52:44,180 and al -Qaeda. And here's what the intelligence community is doing wrong 1596 01:52:44,180 --> 01:52:46,100 their analysis on this is so poor. 1597 01:52:46,760 --> 01:52:50,160 This was never briefed to Mr. Tenet or the Counterterrorist Center. It was 1598 01:52:50,160 --> 01:52:51,320 briefed down at the White House. 1599 01:52:51,560 --> 01:52:55,400 And only thanks to one of the members of the Senate Intelligence Committee did 1600 01:52:55,400 --> 01:52:58,540 we ever find out about it. But if I could just add one more, and I would 1601 01:52:58,540 --> 01:53:00,340 disagree with my friend Carl Ford on this. 1602 01:53:01,670 --> 01:53:05,810 that group wasn't established because the intelligence community wasn't doing 1603 01:53:05,810 --> 01:53:06,810 its job. 1604 01:53:07,190 --> 01:53:11,670 It was doing its job rather intensively and devoting a great deal of effort, 1605 01:53:11,750 --> 01:53:15,010 particularly the Counterterrorist Center, again, I wasn't in it at the 1606 01:53:15,010 --> 01:53:19,230 this whole issue of Iraq and al -Qaeda because they were asked so many 1607 01:53:19,230 --> 01:53:22,550 again and again and again and again and again. So they wrote a bunch of papers. 1608 01:53:22,770 --> 01:53:26,570 It wasn't that they didn't do the good analysis or come up with the specific 1609 01:53:26,570 --> 01:53:27,570 evidence. 1610 01:53:28,380 --> 01:53:31,560 The policymakers, these particular ones in the Office of Secretary of Defense, 1611 01:53:31,720 --> 01:53:32,760 didn't like the answer. 1612 01:53:33,900 --> 01:53:35,700 And the answer was, there's no alliance. 1613 01:53:36,820 --> 01:53:38,960 And that was a very well -documented answer. 1614 01:53:39,220 --> 01:53:42,720 And there was a lot of other information that pointed in an opposite direction 1615 01:53:42,720 --> 01:53:46,580 from all these scraps that Mr. Feisoff has put together and we later read about 1616 01:53:46,580 --> 01:53:47,580 in the Weekly Standard. 1617 01:53:48,120 --> 01:53:51,640 Evidence that showed, for example, that there was not training going on, that 1618 01:53:51,640 --> 01:53:53,820 there were not contacts between Iraq and... 1619 01:53:54,240 --> 01:53:57,920 just about any Islamist you could come up with in Afghanistan. That was all the 1620 01:53:57,920 --> 01:53:58,920 other side that was ignored. 1621 01:54:00,660 --> 01:54:04,640 Now this one takes the cake. It was written by Wolfowitz, the Kegans, and 1622 01:54:04,640 --> 01:54:09,500 Libby. If you're only going to read one PNAC paper, let it be this one. And the 1623 01:54:09,500 --> 01:54:13,600 rest of the cabal all signed off on it. It's called Rebuilding America's 1624 01:54:13,600 --> 01:54:17,260 Defenses, Strategy, Forces, and Resources for a New Century. 1625 01:54:19,120 --> 01:54:21,860 It's probably PNAC's most infamous paper. 1626 01:54:22,430 --> 01:54:28,190 It rehashes the same junk that's in all the other papers and then adds that the 1627 01:54:28,190 --> 01:54:33,770 psychotic policies that they are advocating probably won't be possible 1628 01:54:33,770 --> 01:54:36,330 some sort of catastrophe or crisis. 1629 01:54:36,630 --> 01:54:42,070 However, the insanity of that hypothetical pales in comparison to the 1630 01:54:42,070 --> 01:54:44,470 eugenics that they also promoted. 1631 01:54:44,750 --> 01:54:49,890 It actually proposes using racially specific bioweapons to get rid of 1632 01:54:49,890 --> 01:54:50,890 people. 1633 01:54:51,509 --> 01:54:56,610 This is the mindset of these Zionists. Not only did they think of that, they 1634 01:54:56,610 --> 01:54:58,570 thought it would be okay to publish it. 1635 01:54:58,970 --> 01:55:03,130 They don't worry or care because they know the press is not going to call them 1636 01:55:03,130 --> 01:55:04,129 out on it. 1637 01:55:04,130 --> 01:55:08,090 Of all the PNAC papers, this is probably the most infamous one. 1638 01:55:09,030 --> 01:55:13,630 I believe a disproportionate amount of attention has been pegged on this paper 1639 01:55:13,630 --> 01:55:17,830 because of the line and calling for a new Pearl Harbor -like event to act as a 1640 01:55:17,830 --> 01:55:19,790 catalyst for their imperial escapades. 1641 01:55:20,280 --> 01:55:24,740 However, and I can't read this one to you because it's too long, I think you 1642 01:55:24,740 --> 01:55:29,160 really need to read this entire document if you haven't already because that 1643 01:55:29,160 --> 01:55:30,760 line just doesn't do it justice. 1644 01:55:31,000 --> 01:55:34,220 There are so many disgusting things in this report. 1645 01:55:34,500 --> 01:55:38,660 And above you can see some more things I didn't have time to get into, but 1646 01:55:38,660 --> 01:55:43,920 there's over 52 more papers they published about War of the Rock, Syria, 1647 01:55:44,200 --> 01:55:45,200 Afghanistan. 1648 01:55:45,760 --> 01:55:49,220 their entire foreign policy for the Middle East, and we've been following it 1649 01:55:49,220 --> 01:55:49,839 the T. 1650 01:55:49,840 --> 01:55:51,760 And it's all deception. 1651 01:55:52,060 --> 01:55:53,740 It's all lies. 1652 01:55:54,160 --> 01:55:59,080 And yet, with all the neocons' fanfare, they just couldn't get the wars they 1653 01:55:59,080 --> 01:56:00,920 wanted until after 9 -11. 1654 01:56:01,260 --> 01:56:06,800 And after that, they associated those lies to their original lies. And 1655 01:56:06,940 --> 01:56:10,380 they could push forward with their dreams of bloody empire. 1656 01:56:12,360 --> 01:56:15,820 I think the president made the right decision given what he knew. 1657 01:56:19,540 --> 01:56:25,320 Douglas Feith, of all the neocons, is probably the dumbest person in the 1658 01:56:25,400 --> 01:56:28,760 which is saying a lot. Douglas Feith is on his own level. 1659 01:56:29,180 --> 01:56:31,880 Lower than Bush, lower than Rumsfeld. 1660 01:56:32,140 --> 01:56:34,540 He gets his own category of stupid. 1661 01:56:34,940 --> 01:56:36,980 Under Secretary of Defense Douglas Feith. 1662 01:56:38,440 --> 01:56:44,220 whom most of you probably know Tommy Frank said was the stupidest blanky 1663 01:56:44,220 --> 01:56:45,640 man in the world. He was. 1664 01:56:46,940 --> 01:56:49,980 Let me testify to that. He was. 1665 01:56:51,500 --> 01:56:57,860 Seldom in my life have I met a dumber man. 1666 01:57:00,260 --> 01:57:04,940 Vice office was passing classified information to Israel through AIPAC 1667 01:57:04,940 --> 01:57:07,160 Keith Wiseman and Steve Rosen. 1668 01:57:07,800 --> 01:57:11,420 The man passing the documents, Lawrence Franklin, was sentenced, but the people 1669 01:57:11,420 --> 01:57:15,100 receiving the information didn't get in any trouble after threatening to knock 1670 01:57:15,100 --> 01:57:18,580 on everyone else who was involved, which included the majority of the Bush 1671 01:57:18,580 --> 01:57:19,580 administration. 1672 01:57:20,220 --> 01:57:24,740 Fife with Pearl set up something called IAI, International Advisors 1673 01:57:24,740 --> 01:57:31,020 Incorporated, in Turkey to act as a miniature ATC. Fife was its sole 1674 01:57:31,020 --> 01:57:35,060 shareholder. It is essentially just another bubble to profiteer through. 1675 01:57:35,600 --> 01:57:40,380 It's odd how the U .S. wrongly points his finger at Iraq and even Iran, 1676 01:57:40,380 --> 01:57:44,400 them of building nuclear weapons, and yet the real criminals trading nuclear 1677 01:57:44,400 --> 01:57:48,280 secrets and possibly nuclear material are right here in our own government. 1678 01:57:48,780 --> 01:57:53,380 Our Undersecretary of State and former Ambassador to Turkey, Mark Grossman, is 1679 01:57:53,380 --> 01:57:57,960 implicated in just such a crime. And even though he'd been caught red -handed 1680 01:57:57,960 --> 01:58:01,920 with his dealings with the Turks and the Israelis, nothing could be done about 1681 01:58:01,920 --> 01:58:04,600 it because the whistleblowers were gagged. 1682 01:58:05,050 --> 01:58:09,270 To quote an old write -up from Justin Raimondo, one of the best muckrakers out 1683 01:58:09,270 --> 01:58:13,870 there, immediately after 9 -11, the FBI arrested a bunch of people suspected of 1684 01:58:13,870 --> 01:58:18,650 being involved with the attacks, including four associates of key targets 1685 01:58:18,650 --> 01:58:20,050 counterintelligence operations. 1686 01:58:21,130 --> 01:58:25,910 Sabell heard the targets tell Mark Grossman, we need to get them out of the 1687 01:58:25,910 --> 01:58:28,390 .S. because we can't afford them to steal the beans. 1688 01:58:29,200 --> 01:58:33,060 Grossman duly facilitated their release from jail and the suspects immediately 1689 01:58:33,060 --> 01:58:37,520 left the country without further investigation or interrogation. That's 1690 01:58:37,520 --> 01:58:41,560 number three man at the State Department facilitating the immediate release of 9 1691 01:58:41,560 --> 01:58:45,580 -11 suspects at the request of targets of the FBI's investigation. 1692 01:58:46,140 --> 01:58:51,820 He's sourcing the Sunday Times, the same paper that Mordecai Ben -Nunu turned to 1693 01:58:51,820 --> 01:58:55,560 to break the story about Israel's secret nuclear arsenal. 1694 01:58:55,940 --> 01:58:58,120 Unfortunately, Ben -Nunu landed in jail for that. 1695 01:58:59,280 --> 01:59:03,380 It would be Mark Grossman, who warned his associates to stay away from 1696 01:59:03,380 --> 01:59:08,120 Jennings up front for the CIA, particularly the wing that Valerie Plame 1697 01:59:08,120 --> 01:59:12,140 working for, which worked on tracking nuclear weapons proliferation. 1698 01:59:12,460 --> 01:59:17,660 This became more public knowledge when Novak and Louis Libby told the world to 1699 01:59:17,660 --> 01:59:22,720 stay away from Brewster Jennings and his associates by ousting Valerie Plame as 1700 01:59:22,720 --> 01:59:23,720 a covert agent. 1701 01:59:24,030 --> 01:59:27,970 By ousting her, it was easy to deduce that the company she worked for must 1702 01:59:27,970 --> 01:59:32,190 been a front, and thus all of the CIA agents working for that were gone. 1703 01:59:32,430 --> 01:59:36,590 They're pointing the finger at Iraq and Iran, but we know which country in the 1704 01:59:36,590 --> 01:59:41,090 Middle East secretly has nukes, and we know which cabal within the United 1705 01:59:41,090 --> 01:59:45,650 is selling this information on the black market, and it's in our own government. 1706 01:59:45,650 --> 01:59:52,330 It's Fife and Pearl and Grossman and the same PNAC Zionist traitors that led to 1707 01:59:52,330 --> 01:59:53,330 the war in Iraq. 1708 01:59:53,420 --> 01:59:58,980 helped cover up Najir, ousted Valerie Blaine, and blackmailed politicians for 1709 01:59:58,980 --> 02:00:00,100 their own financial interests. 1710 02:00:00,400 --> 02:00:03,180 And who were the end buyers for these nuclear secrets? 1711 02:00:03,540 --> 02:00:04,920 General Mahmoud Ahmed. 1712 02:00:05,220 --> 02:00:11,100 The same man who wired $100 ,000 to 9 -11 hijacker Mohammed Atta, who, from 1713 02:00:11,100 --> 02:00:16,220 general, would pass on to AQ Khan, and from there, to all the black markets, I 1714 02:00:16,220 --> 02:00:17,480 assume to the highest bidders. 1715 02:00:17,800 --> 02:00:21,580 Not only were they selling nuclear secrets, they were also selling hooking 1716 02:00:21,580 --> 02:00:22,580 points. 1717 02:00:22,740 --> 02:00:26,720 Soft spots for blackmail to manipulate U .S. officials. 1718 02:00:27,240 --> 02:00:30,820 Cybele Edmonds made valid complaints about a colleague who was leaking 1719 02:00:30,820 --> 02:00:31,980 information illegally. 1720 02:00:32,620 --> 02:00:36,340 Cybele gets gagged and released from her position, but the woman she complained 1721 02:00:36,340 --> 02:00:40,180 about turns out to be the daughter of an official who worked for the general. 1722 02:00:40,420 --> 02:00:45,180 What happened to the other leakers? Robert Novak would die, Louis Libby 1723 02:00:45,180 --> 02:00:49,420 have a trial, be convicted, found guilty, and then Bush just commuted his 1724 02:00:49,420 --> 02:00:50,420 sentence anyway. 1725 02:00:50,600 --> 02:00:54,400 It's a little ironic that Louis Libby gets his sentence commuted by George 1726 02:00:54,400 --> 02:00:58,980 when Louis Libby was the lawyer for the Mossad agent Mark Rich, who got a pardon 1727 02:00:58,980 --> 02:01:03,580 from President Clinton for his role in Iran -Contra illegal money laundering 1728 02:01:03,580 --> 02:01:04,580 not paying his taxes. 1729 02:01:04,740 --> 02:01:06,940 This point needs to be reiterated. 1730 02:01:07,480 --> 02:01:13,040 Why would State Department official Mark Grossman get terror suspects out of 1731 02:01:13,040 --> 02:01:17,300 jail and say, we need to get them out of the U .S.? 1732 02:01:17,550 --> 02:01:20,070 Because we can't afford them to spill the beans. 1733 02:01:21,250 --> 02:01:22,710 Spill the beans on what? 1734 02:01:23,290 --> 02:01:28,270 And why would it matter if they were outside the U .S.? Well, once they're 1735 02:01:28,270 --> 02:01:31,630 outside the U .S., they're no longer in the FBI's jurisdiction. 1736 02:01:32,190 --> 02:01:34,030 They're in the CIA's jurisdiction. 1737 02:01:34,450 --> 02:01:40,030 And the CIA, we know, had withheld information about terror suspects from 1738 02:01:40,030 --> 02:01:44,790 FBI. They knew al -Midhar and al -Hadmi had been at an al -Qaeda summit meeting 1739 02:01:44,790 --> 02:01:45,790 in Malaysia. 1740 02:01:46,040 --> 02:01:49,740 and were living in the U .S. and San Diego, and they refused to share that 1741 02:01:49,740 --> 02:01:50,940 information with the FBI. 1742 02:01:51,700 --> 02:01:52,700 Why? 1743 02:01:53,640 --> 02:01:58,640 Sabelle's three -hour interview report in a SIF facility for the 9 -11 1744 02:01:58,640 --> 02:02:04,240 Commission was redacted, and I'd say about 98 % of it completely censored. 1745 02:02:04,960 --> 02:02:09,260 She may as well have been talking to the wall, because none of that information 1746 02:02:09,260 --> 02:02:10,260 was shared. 1747 02:02:10,300 --> 02:02:12,200 They just wanted to know what she knew. 1748 02:02:13,760 --> 02:02:18,130 Oddly, a male hooker, Jeff Gannon, who Karl Rove brought in, who was pretending 1749 02:02:18,130 --> 02:02:23,110 to be part of a fake news agency, Talon News, made references to internal 1750 02:02:23,110 --> 02:02:26,650 government memos about the plane affair before they went public. 1751 02:02:26,950 --> 02:02:29,830 This is a male hooker spending the night at the White House. 1752 02:02:30,570 --> 02:02:33,090 I wonder how he got access to that information. 1753 02:02:33,550 --> 02:02:36,310 And where was the ISI's general on 9 -11? 1754 02:02:36,690 --> 02:02:41,630 He was having breakfast at Capitol Hill with the director of the CIA, Porter 1755 02:02:41,630 --> 02:02:44,290 Goss, and also Bob Graham. 1756 02:02:44,810 --> 02:02:47,590 from Florida to Senator for the Senate Intelligence Committee. 1757 02:02:47,890 --> 02:02:52,350 Around the same time, Osama bin Laden's brother was having breakfast with George 1758 02:02:52,350 --> 02:02:54,670 Bush's father to discuss business deals. 1759 02:02:54,990 --> 02:02:56,030 George Bush Jr. 1760 02:02:56,270 --> 02:03:00,310 was in Florida reading a book to some kids. Apparently, this book had a little 1761 02:03:00,310 --> 02:03:04,350 television inside of it which magically had the first plane hitting the towers 1762 02:03:04,350 --> 02:03:09,190 on it because Bush claimed not once but twice that he saw the first plane hit. 1763 02:03:09,310 --> 02:03:14,080 That was impossible because coverage of the first plane hitting didn't air on 1764 02:03:14,080 --> 02:03:17,860 the day of 9 -11. It came after, when they found the French filmmakers who 1765 02:03:17,860 --> 02:03:19,580 caught the attacks here indiscutously. 1766 02:03:19,880 --> 02:03:24,000 The chief of staff, well, first of all, when we walked in the classroom, I had 1767 02:03:24,000 --> 02:03:29,360 seen this plane fly into the first building. There was a TV set on, and, 1768 02:03:29,360 --> 02:03:31,000 know, I thought it was pilot error. 1769 02:03:34,140 --> 02:03:38,660 It's almost as if he had rehearsed what to say and royally messed it up. 1770 02:03:38,940 --> 02:03:39,940 We're sitting outside. 1771 02:03:41,019 --> 02:03:45,400 The classroom waiting to go in, and I saw an airplane hit the tower. 1772 02:03:45,600 --> 02:03:51,100 The TV was obviously on, and I used to fly myself, and I said, well, there's 1773 02:03:51,100 --> 02:03:52,100 terrible pilot. 1774 02:03:53,000 --> 02:03:58,020 Why didn't the Secret Service react after the second plane hit to get the 1775 02:03:58,020 --> 02:04:01,800 president out of his publicly announced location if they were so worried about 1776 02:04:01,800 --> 02:04:06,500 terrorism? Israeli firsters were unable to get their war until they could create 1777 02:04:06,500 --> 02:04:09,320 the myth of Saddam's men meeting with al -Qaeda. 1778 02:04:09,840 --> 02:04:14,240 using moles in the media to repeat the garbage of their own publications, which 1779 02:04:14,240 --> 02:04:18,860 is exactly what they did. There was pre -written legislation ready to pass, and 1780 02:04:18,860 --> 02:04:23,220 when it looked like it might not work, there was an anthrax attack to help push 1781 02:04:23,220 --> 02:04:23,938 it along. 1782 02:04:23,940 --> 02:04:29,040 This was initially blamed on Al -Qaeda, who oddly, even though they hated for 1783 02:04:29,040 --> 02:04:34,580 our freedoms, decided to rope Israel into the mix as well by declaring, death 1784 02:04:34,580 --> 02:04:36,540 America, death to Israel. 1785 02:04:36,880 --> 02:04:42,320 And just in case you forgot it was Muslims, From 9 -11, they also wrote, 1786 02:04:42,320 --> 02:04:46,340 is great, and 9 -11 -2001 as well. 1787 02:04:46,640 --> 02:04:51,440 Which is funny because it would later be the Israeli security forces claiming to 1788 02:04:51,440 --> 02:04:57,340 have witnessed a transfer of anthrax from Iraqis to Al -Qaeda at a meeting in 1789 02:04:57,340 --> 02:05:03,120 Prague, which was impossible since neither Iraq nor Al -Qaeda had anthrax, 1790 02:05:03,120 --> 02:05:05,720 there wasn't even a meeting in Prague for them to meet in. 1791 02:05:06,240 --> 02:05:09,940 How does one witness the transfer of something at a meeting that didn't take 1792 02:05:09,940 --> 02:05:14,220 place between two parties that didn't have it? The target choices of the 1793 02:05:14,220 --> 02:05:18,920 military grade made in the USA anthrax were interesting as well. The two 1794 02:05:18,920 --> 02:05:24,240 senators against the Patriot Act, Patrick Leahy on the judiciary chair in 1795 02:05:24,240 --> 02:05:29,100 position to block it, the other, Tom Daschle, the Senate Majority Leader, 1796 02:05:29,100 --> 02:05:34,240 calling to investigate 9 -11, were sent to lethal spores, whereas... 1797 02:05:34,520 --> 02:05:41,280 Warmongering Fox News and Judith Miller, a WMD liar, were sent hoax 1798 02:05:41,280 --> 02:05:43,260 anthrax, so they claimed. 1799 02:05:43,500 --> 02:05:47,040 Despite all these holes in the anthrax story, it gets far worse. 1800 02:05:47,340 --> 02:05:51,280 A letter written to the Department of Justice jumped the gun trying to frame 1801 02:05:51,280 --> 02:05:56,220 someone for the attacks, the problem being it was mailed two days after the 1802 02:05:56,220 --> 02:06:01,040 first anthrax had been sent, but long before any of the letters had been 1803 02:06:01,040 --> 02:06:02,500 or reported on. 1804 02:06:02,920 --> 02:06:08,000 Worst of all, even though by December of 2001, the FBI knew it was looking at 1805 02:06:08,000 --> 02:06:09,000 domestic terrorism, 1806 02:06:09,600 --> 02:06:15,420 the anthrax myth persisted about Iraq, and Colin Powell used this scare tactic 1807 02:06:15,420 --> 02:06:19,740 in his speech to the UN as evidence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, 1808 02:06:20,000 --> 02:06:23,440 saying they could produce anthrax and kill thousands. 1809 02:06:23,860 --> 02:06:28,600 Speaking about mobile weapons labs, a lie echoed by the now convicted criminal 1810 02:06:28,600 --> 02:06:32,200 Judith Miller, who spent 85 days in jail over the... 1811 02:06:32,540 --> 02:06:37,300 plain Libby affair, Powell said to the UN while holding a mock file of anthrax. 1812 02:06:37,440 --> 02:06:41,080 For example, they can produce anthrax and botulinum toxins. 1813 02:06:41,340 --> 02:06:46,580 In fact, they can produce enough dry biological agent in a single month to 1814 02:06:46,580 --> 02:06:48,660 thousands upon thousands of people. 1815 02:06:48,900 --> 02:06:53,440 Dry agent of this type is the most lethal form for human beings. 1816 02:06:53,840 --> 02:06:58,760 Cheney also reiterated this lie on Meet the Press restating the same propaganda. 1817 02:06:59,630 --> 02:07:04,790 The FBI ordered the Ames strain destroyed and then went on a wild goose 1818 02:07:04,790 --> 02:07:09,310 through different suspects who had been pegged by the ADL and ultimately landed 1819 02:07:09,310 --> 02:07:15,370 on a guy, Bruce Ivins, who had an odd suicide, overdosing on Tylenol. 1820 02:07:16,110 --> 02:07:20,450 Later evidence shows he could not have made the anthrax from his lab. 1821 02:07:20,970 --> 02:07:26,790 Dr. Perry McZell, a prior suspect, also had a strange suicide. 1822 02:07:27,720 --> 02:07:31,400 The notes sent with the anthrax read, death to America, death to Israel, 1823 02:07:31,540 --> 02:07:35,400 automatically associating Israel's enemies with America's enemies. 1824 02:07:35,840 --> 02:07:40,080 Because the attackers had written 9 -11 and praise Allah on the notes and mailed 1825 02:07:40,080 --> 02:07:43,980 them from the same locations as the hijacker cells in the U .S., the anthrax 1826 02:07:43,980 --> 02:07:45,920 attack was initially blamed on al -Qaeda. 1827 02:07:46,640 --> 02:07:50,980 The mainstream press never asked for evidence of the claims being made. 1828 02:07:51,200 --> 02:07:54,660 They just repeated them obediently and blindly. 1829 02:07:55,720 --> 02:08:01,380 Some were even dumb enough to take the Israelis at their word, as if Israel has 1830 02:08:01,380 --> 02:08:05,300 never lied to the United States and would have no motive to implicate its 1831 02:08:05,300 --> 02:08:06,720 enemies with such a tale. 1832 02:08:07,420 --> 02:08:13,120 Not only that, they compounded on that lie by adding that at this meeting, they 1833 02:08:13,120 --> 02:08:18,520 also got anthrax from the Iraqis, and they blamed that on Al -Qaeda as well, 1834 02:08:18,520 --> 02:08:19,920 of which turned out to be lies. 1835 02:08:20,880 --> 02:08:25,300 The London Times reported that Iraqis were seen passing anthrax to al -Qaeda. 1836 02:08:25,440 --> 02:08:28,380 Their sources were Israeli intelligence. 1837 02:08:29,200 --> 02:08:31,280 Here we can see the beginnings of the setup. 1838 02:08:31,540 --> 02:08:34,260 With this lie, they connected 9 -11 to Iraq. 1839 02:08:34,940 --> 02:08:36,760 Yet there was no meeting in Prague. 1840 02:08:37,020 --> 02:08:39,880 There were no Iraqis passing anthrax to hijackers. 1841 02:08:40,120 --> 02:08:42,940 There were no Iraqis even talking to hijackers. 1842 02:08:44,460 --> 02:08:49,460 Next, Iraq was accused of making biological weapons, including anthrax, 1843 02:08:49,460 --> 02:08:50,460 mobile weapons labs. 1844 02:08:50,860 --> 02:08:54,920 This lie came from Judith Miller, who wrote about it in the New York Times. 1845 02:08:55,200 --> 02:08:59,800 Judith Miller, the girlfriend of the lawyer for the Mossad, Louis Libby. 1846 02:09:00,720 --> 02:09:05,820 Here's a woman who tried to blame both the 1993 World Trade Center attack as 1847 02:09:05,820 --> 02:09:10,320 well as the Oklahoma City bombing on Iraqis. She claimed that Iraq was using 1848 02:09:10,320 --> 02:09:14,440 mobile weapons labs to hide their biological weapons of mass destruction 1849 02:09:14,440 --> 02:09:16,160 capable of producing anthrax. 1850 02:09:16,590 --> 02:09:20,410 Remember, Miller was also a journalist who got a hoax letter of anthrax. 1851 02:09:20,630 --> 02:09:24,090 It's interesting because the postmark on these letters, which had identical 1852 02:09:24,090 --> 02:09:28,770 notes as the real anthrax letters, were sent before there was reporting about 1853 02:09:28,770 --> 02:09:32,650 them, as they had not been received yet. So why would war -mongering Judith 1854 02:09:32,650 --> 02:09:37,870 Miller and Fox News be sent pretend attacks, and yet real anthrax was sent 1855 02:09:37,870 --> 02:09:40,490 others who opposed the Patriot Act and the war? 1856 02:09:40,950 --> 02:09:42,430 The formula is simple. 1857 02:09:42,770 --> 02:09:43,770 One. 1858 02:09:44,110 --> 02:09:46,590 State Al -Qaeda attacked the U .S. with anthrax. 1859 02:09:47,570 --> 02:09:52,010 Two, state Iraq has biological and chemical weapons of mass destruction, 1860 02:09:52,270 --> 02:09:53,270 including anthrax. 1861 02:09:53,810 --> 02:09:54,810 Three, 1862 02:09:55,090 --> 02:09:56,750 state that Al -Qaeda met with Iraq. 1863 02:09:57,110 --> 02:10:00,330 Four, state that Iraq gave anthrax to Al -Qaeda. 1864 02:10:00,690 --> 02:10:05,370 All of these statements are lies, but it leaves the public with the conclusion 1865 02:10:05,370 --> 02:10:08,350 that Iraq and Al -Qaeda were working together. 1866 02:10:08,990 --> 02:10:10,630 The administration knows. 1867 02:10:12,080 --> 02:10:16,600 He's vowed, Hussein has vowed revenge. He has anthrax. He loves biological 1868 02:10:16,600 --> 02:10:20,620 weapons. He has terrorist training camps, including a 707 to practice on. 1869 02:10:21,100 --> 02:10:25,000 It wasn't just moles in the State Department and DOD impeding the FBI's 1870 02:10:25,000 --> 02:10:26,540 investigation into 9 -11 suspects. 1871 02:10:27,580 --> 02:10:31,020 The FBI was impeding the FBI's investigation into 9 -11. 1872 02:10:31,580 --> 02:10:35,640 It's a stretch, but one could still claim maybe they're just trying to cover 1873 02:10:35,640 --> 02:10:38,280 their embarrassing failure and screw -ups to save face. 1874 02:10:38,700 --> 02:10:41,380 Except there's absolutely no rationalization in the world. 1875 02:10:41,820 --> 02:10:46,060 Why the FBI would allow the destruction of Ames anthrax samples in Ames, Iowa. 1876 02:10:47,560 --> 02:10:51,780 I'll let you hear the words of Francis Boyle in an interview with Boiling 1877 02:10:51,780 --> 02:10:56,220 Post, the man who drafted the Biological Weapons Anti -Terrorism Act of 1989, 1878 02:10:56,660 --> 02:11:01,040 Harvard Law School grad, professor at the University of Illinois. We've never 1879 02:11:01,040 --> 02:11:03,080 met, but he's coming up with the same conclusions. 1880 02:11:03,660 --> 02:11:06,520 Get an updated list from the CIA. 1881 02:11:07,470 --> 02:11:12,490 And he said, well, we were working with people at Fort Detrick on this matter. 1882 02:11:12,910 --> 02:11:19,710 And I said, well, Fort Detrick could very well be the problem 1883 02:11:19,710 --> 02:11:21,990 here, not the solution. 1884 02:11:22,230 --> 02:11:28,610 Soon thereafter, within a few weeks, the FBI authorized 1885 02:11:28,610 --> 02:11:34,550 the destruction of the United States government collection 1886 02:11:34,550 --> 02:11:36,490 of Ames. 1887 02:11:36,830 --> 02:11:43,830 strain anthrax maintained out in Ames, Iowa. And I was originally 1888 02:11:43,830 --> 02:11:48,410 hired here to teach criminal law. That clearly was an obstruction of justice, 1889 02:11:48,610 --> 02:11:55,530 that you would be able to take those Ames strains and reconstruct precisely 1890 02:11:55,530 --> 02:11:58,610 was involved in this attack. 1891 02:11:58,870 --> 02:12:05,590 So it became very clear to me that the FBI, right from the get -go, was 1892 02:12:05,590 --> 02:12:11,950 in a cover -up here of who really was behind the anthrax attacks. 1893 02:12:12,290 --> 02:12:17,110 Basically, the FBI has been lying about it and covering it up. 1894 02:12:17,650 --> 02:12:22,610 I don't believe Ivins did it. Even the people who work with him don't believe 1895 02:12:22,610 --> 02:12:23,369 did it. 1896 02:12:23,370 --> 02:12:29,770 And by the way, I should also point out, Bowman was the same FBI guy 1897 02:12:29,770 --> 02:12:36,660 who sabotaged the request by the FBI 1898 02:12:36,660 --> 02:12:43,620 agents in Minneapolis, Rowley and the rest of them, to get a subpoena 1899 02:12:43,620 --> 02:12:46,700 into Musawi's computer. 1900 02:12:46,940 --> 02:12:52,060 He was the exact same guy. That's right. And Ullman had been ordered by someone 1901 02:12:52,060 --> 02:12:57,560 to sabotage that subpoena into Musawi's computer. 1902 02:12:58,170 --> 02:13:02,410 The argument that the FISA court, there wasn't enough evidence, that is total 1903 02:13:02,410 --> 02:13:06,830 baloney. If you study everything about Moussaoui, there was more than enough 1904 02:13:06,830 --> 02:13:11,910 evidence for the FISA court to issue a FISA warrant into his computer. 1905 02:13:12,570 --> 02:13:16,010 Later on then, Bowman was promoted and given an award. 1906 02:13:16,230 --> 02:13:22,830 If we find out who was really behind the anthrax attacks, perhaps we'll find out 1907 02:13:22,830 --> 02:13:24,470 who really was behind 9 -11. 1908 02:13:25,290 --> 02:13:28,950 On September 18th, two anthrax letters were mailed. 1909 02:13:29,390 --> 02:13:30,970 Both came from New Jersey. 1910 02:13:31,590 --> 02:13:36,350 One had the Death to America and Death to Israel letter inside of it, and it 1911 02:13:36,350 --> 02:13:37,990 addressed to Tom Brokaw of NBC. 1912 02:13:38,410 --> 02:13:43,650 This wouldn't be opened until October 12th. The other letter was sent to a New 1913 02:13:43,650 --> 02:13:47,810 York Post editor and would not be opened until October 17th. 1914 02:13:48,690 --> 02:13:53,030 Two days later, still without any letters having been opened yet, 1915 02:13:53,740 --> 02:13:56,260 On September 20th, three letters were mailed. 1916 02:13:56,640 --> 02:13:59,360 Two of them were hoax letters sent from Florida. 1917 02:13:59,940 --> 02:14:05,160 One was to Troxler, Howard Troxler, and the other was to Judith Miller. 1918 02:14:05,860 --> 02:14:11,280 Troxler opened his on October 9th, Miller opened hers on October 12th. 1919 02:14:11,280 --> 02:14:17,060 were hoax letters. However, the letter inside, the written letter inside, had 1920 02:14:17,060 --> 02:14:20,300 the same rhetoric as the second letter to Tom Brokaw. 1921 02:14:20,760 --> 02:14:24,900 The second letter to Ron Burkall also came on September 20th and was opened on 1922 02:14:24,900 --> 02:14:30,460 October 5th. On September 26th, still, no letters have been opened, no reports 1923 02:14:30,460 --> 02:14:31,460 have been made. 1924 02:14:32,120 --> 02:14:36,620 Philip Zack, somebody who got caught stealing anthrax from a lab in Maryland, 1925 02:14:36,840 --> 02:14:42,580 sends a letter to the Justice Department blaming Ayat Asad. That letter is open 1926 02:14:42,580 --> 02:14:43,940 on October 2nd. 1927 02:14:44,380 --> 02:14:48,720 How this person knew about anthrax attacks and who to blame it on is a 1928 02:14:48,720 --> 02:14:51,760 because there hadn't been any reporting on the anthrax attacks yet. 1929 02:14:52,540 --> 02:14:58,780 Also on October 2nd, the Patriot Act is introduced, and it is opposed by Senator 1930 02:14:58,780 --> 02:15:04,160 Daschle and Senator Leahy, who are in a position to prevent it from passing. 1931 02:15:05,000 --> 02:15:09,420 Leahy is the chairman of the Judicial Committee and can block the bill. 1932 02:15:09,700 --> 02:15:11,940 Daschle is also in a position to block the bill. 1933 02:15:12,270 --> 02:15:17,150 Daschle and Leahy opposed the Patriot Act on October 6th, and sometime between 1934 02:15:17,150 --> 02:15:22,590 October 6th and 9th, we can't be sure because the 7th was Sunday and the 8th 1935 02:15:22,590 --> 02:15:28,090 Columbus Day, anthrax was mailed to Tom Daschle and Patrick Leahy, and it was 1936 02:15:28,090 --> 02:15:30,950 the deadliest anthrax so far meant to kill him. 1937 02:15:31,850 --> 02:15:36,630 Daschle would open his letter on October 15th, and Leahy's, because it was 1938 02:15:36,630 --> 02:15:38,610 misrouted, would not be open until November. 1939 02:15:40,620 --> 02:15:46,160 At least one other anthrax letter had been mailed about September 21st or 1940 02:15:46,600 --> 02:15:50,620 They're not sure because it had already been opened and was in the bag of mail 1941 02:15:50,620 --> 02:15:53,640 and contaminated all the rest of the letters, so they don't have a clear 1942 02:15:53,640 --> 02:16:00,160 postmark. Around that date, it gets opened on October 3rd, causes several 1943 02:16:00,160 --> 02:16:05,680 to get sick, and on October 4th, Robert Stephen dies from anthrax, first person 1944 02:16:05,680 --> 02:16:09,000 to die from anthrax in the U .S. since the 1970s. 1945 02:16:09,260 --> 02:16:14,180 And on October 5th, it is reported in the news. This is the first report in 1946 02:16:14,180 --> 02:16:15,440 news about the anthrax. 1947 02:16:15,800 --> 02:16:20,380 James Woolsey, Judith Miller, Gary Schmidt, Robert Kagan, William Crystal 1948 02:16:20,380 --> 02:16:21,660 all be blaming it on Iraq. 1949 02:16:22,769 --> 02:16:28,090 On October 15th, John McCain will go on David Letterman, associating Iraq to Al 1950 02:16:28,090 --> 02:16:31,310 -Qaeda. If I could just make it very quick, the second phase is Iraq. 1951 02:16:32,330 --> 02:16:36,570 There is some indication, and I don't have the conclusions, but some of this 1952 02:16:36,570 --> 02:16:39,830 anthrax may, and I emphasize may, have come from Iraq. 1953 02:16:40,190 --> 02:16:45,610 Bin Laden did not have the authority or power to force FBI agents off of his 1954 02:16:45,610 --> 02:16:51,240 trail. Bin Laden didn't have the means to set up a false flag and steal anthrax 1955 02:16:51,240 --> 02:16:55,860 from within American labs and take credit for it with his hijackers and 1956 02:16:55,860 --> 02:17:01,100 associate it to Iraq to falsely lead America into believing that Iraq and Al 1957 02:17:01,100 --> 02:17:05,420 -Qaeda were together and start a war there to bog down American forces. The U 1958 02:17:05,420 --> 02:17:07,580 .S. and Israel did that all on their own. 1959 02:17:08,370 --> 02:17:12,930 Carl Rove once professed that it didn't matter what reality was because they 1960 02:17:12,930 --> 02:17:13,969 could make reality. 1961 02:17:14,190 --> 02:17:18,469 And that's exactly what they did in what they rephrased as message force 1962 02:17:18,469 --> 02:17:24,469 multipliers, an old tactic borrowed from Nazi propaganda about repeating a lie 1963 02:17:24,469 --> 02:17:29,030 enough times until the most prejudiced or insecure among the populace start to 1964 02:17:29,030 --> 02:17:33,309 believe it. If they can get five or six people to repeat the same lines in 1965 02:17:33,309 --> 02:17:37,920 different places in the press, Regardless of how lacking in evidence 1966 02:17:37,920 --> 02:17:44,360 are, it will create the perception that everybody is saying X, so X must be 1967 02:17:44,360 --> 02:17:50,020 true. This lemming effect works particularly well with scare tactics, 1968 02:17:50,020 --> 02:17:54,780 used over and over by the mass media as a form of deception or distraction. 1969 02:17:55,340 --> 02:17:59,840 Here is who all kept repeating the Iraqis with Al -Qaeda lie, as well as 1970 02:17:59,840 --> 02:18:02,160 compounding lies that they merged with it. 1971 02:18:02,559 --> 02:18:07,180 Once again, not a shred of evidence to back any of this up. Pure scare tactics. 1972 02:18:07,459 --> 02:18:10,900 Same as the Iran is going to build a nuclear bomb propaganda. 1973 02:18:12,309 --> 02:18:18,490 Intelligence relating to the Iraq -Al Qaeda relationship was manipulated by 1974 02:18:18,490 --> 02:18:22,650 -ranking officials in the Department of Defense to support the administration's 1975 02:18:22,650 --> 02:18:27,530 decision to invade Iraq when the intelligence assessments of the 1976 02:18:27,530 --> 02:18:32,830 analysts of the intelligence community did not provide the desired compelling 1977 02:18:32,830 --> 02:18:37,610 case. These monstrous lies were told by embedded Zionist journalists who worked 1978 02:18:37,610 --> 02:18:39,129 with the administration's PNAC members. 1979 02:18:39,639 --> 02:18:43,500 For example, the lie that the lead hijacker of 9 -11, Mohammad Atta, met 1980 02:18:43,500 --> 02:18:47,600 agents of Saddam was repeated by William Sapphire of the New York Times May 9, 1981 02:18:47,780 --> 02:18:53,340 2002, which came from PNAC's Gary Schmidt, who wrote in 2001 for the 1982 02:18:53,340 --> 02:18:57,100 Standard, an outfit run by PNAC's co -founders Crystal and Kagan. 1983 02:18:57,700 --> 02:19:03,459 The story was leaked to Rutgers September 18, 2001, just a week after 9 1984 02:19:03,459 --> 02:19:05,340 the same day as the first Anthrax mailing. 1985 02:19:05,860 --> 02:19:10,129 Wow! They knew about the lead hijacker as well as a meeting that never took 1986 02:19:10,129 --> 02:19:11,469 place within seven days. 1987 02:19:11,950 --> 02:19:15,270 They probably wanted to follow up on this sooner than they did, adding the 1988 02:19:15,270 --> 02:19:18,670 anthrax part of the lie, assuming the first letter would be open in just a 1989 02:19:18,670 --> 02:19:20,850 couple of days, but the mail didn't work like that. 1990 02:19:21,469 --> 02:19:25,209 Reminds me of the BBC report plagiarized from a college student in California. 1991 02:19:25,990 --> 02:19:30,309 This Atta met with Iraqi intelligence lie was repeated by Vice President Dick 1992 02:19:30,309 --> 02:19:33,330 Cheney December 9, 2001 on national television. 1993 02:19:33,930 --> 02:19:38,150 He later denied it in spite of being on tape saying it. You have said in the 1994 02:19:38,150 --> 02:19:40,170 past that it was, quote, pretty well confirmed. 1995 02:19:40,490 --> 02:19:43,809 No, I never said that. Okay. I never said that. I think that is... Absolutely 1996 02:19:43,809 --> 02:19:47,969 not. What I said was it's been pretty well confirmed that he did go to Prague 1997 02:19:47,969 --> 02:19:52,810 and he did meet with a senior official of the Iraqi intelligence service in 1998 02:19:52,810 --> 02:19:54,070 Czechoslovakia last night. 1999 02:19:54,510 --> 02:19:57,930 He also ignorantly called the Czech Republic Czechoslovakia. 2000 02:19:58,380 --> 02:20:01,200 One would think that if they had a report from a country, that they would 2001 02:20:01,200 --> 02:20:03,980 least know the proper name for that country. But he didn't. 2002 02:20:08,600 --> 02:20:11,860 What's sad is Cheney's considered to be one of the smarter ones. 2003 02:20:12,240 --> 02:20:14,240 And he is, for a neocon. 2004 02:20:14,620 --> 02:20:17,560 I mean, the competition isn't fierce. 2005 02:20:18,160 --> 02:20:22,580 Gary Schmidt of PNAC wrote, Shortly before getting on a plane to fly to New 2006 02:20:22,580 --> 02:20:27,580 Jersey from Europe in June 2000, Mohammed Atta, the lead hijacker of the 2007 02:20:27,580 --> 02:20:31,800 jet airliner to slam into the World Trade Center, and apparently the lead 2008 02:20:31,800 --> 02:20:36,380 conspirator in the attacks of September 11, met with a senior Iraqi intelligence 2009 02:20:36,380 --> 02:20:39,160 official. This was no chance encounter. 2010 02:20:39,640 --> 02:20:43,860 Rather than take a flight from Germany, where he had been living, Atta traveled 2011 02:20:43,860 --> 02:20:47,840 to Prague, almost certainly for the purpose of meeting there with Iraqi 2012 02:20:47,840 --> 02:20:50,900 intelligence operatives Ahmad Samir Ahani. 2013 02:20:51,790 --> 02:20:56,530 This was a complete lie designed to connect al -Qaeda to Iraq and thus Iraq 2014 02:20:56,530 --> 02:20:57,530 the 9 -11 attacks. 2015 02:20:57,670 --> 02:20:58,670 It was false. 2016 02:20:58,850 --> 02:21:02,950 Yet all the corporate news networks repeated it anyway because it had been 2017 02:21:02,950 --> 02:21:03,950 the New York Times. 2018 02:21:04,280 --> 02:21:07,120 Of course, the Prince of Darkness was a message force multiplier. 2019 02:21:07,620 --> 02:21:12,520 December 28, 2001, in an op -ed in the New York Times, Richard Perle wrote, We 2020 02:21:12,520 --> 02:21:13,520 must strike Iraq. 2021 02:21:13,640 --> 02:21:17,640 Evidence of a meeting in Prague between a senior Iraqi intelligence agent and 2022 02:21:17,640 --> 02:21:20,960 Mohammad Atta, the September 11th ringleader, is convincing. 2023 02:21:22,060 --> 02:21:27,140 Another PNAC troll, Paul Wolfowitz, added, Like the meeting of Mohammad Atta 2024 02:21:27,140 --> 02:21:32,140 with Iraqi officials in Prague, I think the premise of a policy has to be... 2025 02:21:32,410 --> 02:21:38,050 We can't afford to wait for proof beyond a reasonable doubt. February 23, 2002, 2026 02:21:38,270 --> 02:21:42,630 San Francisco Chronicle. Pearl was the chairman of the Defense Policy Board in 2027 02:21:42,630 --> 02:21:47,650 the DOD and involved in too many other criminal activities to get into just 2028 02:21:48,470 --> 02:21:53,510 Paul Wolfowitz was the Deputy Secretary of Defense and later the head of the 2029 02:21:53,510 --> 02:21:58,070 World Bank and also involved in too many crimes to get into just yet. 2030 02:21:59,020 --> 02:22:03,060 Later, neocons involved in the American Turkish Council and the American 2031 02:22:03,060 --> 02:22:07,120 -Israeli Public Affairs Committee were fingered in illegal black market weapons 2032 02:22:07,120 --> 02:22:09,520 trades, including nuclear material. 2033 02:22:10,760 --> 02:22:15,500 Sybil Edmonds, a translator for the FBI, had the state secrets privilege enacted 2034 02:22:15,500 --> 02:22:16,980 on her as a gag order. 2035 02:22:17,360 --> 02:22:22,020 Every step has been taken to silence investigation, information, and legal 2036 02:22:22,020 --> 02:22:23,500 action into these crimes. 2037 02:22:24,640 --> 02:22:27,740 AIPAC was also caught spying on the United States. 2038 02:22:29,070 --> 02:22:33,770 Again. One of its moles, Larry Franklin, who was sentenced to 12 years in jail, 2039 02:22:33,970 --> 02:22:38,570 was involved with the Nazir forgeries, a bit of nuclear weapons propaganda, 2040 02:22:38,790 --> 02:22:42,190 which fit nicely with Judith Miller's tube smith. 2041 02:22:43,970 --> 02:22:47,110 The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought 2042 02:22:47,110 --> 02:22:50,510 significant quantities of uranium from Africa. 2043 02:22:51,690 --> 02:22:55,590 If you don't know already, if you've been living in a cave or getting all of 2044 02:22:55,590 --> 02:23:01,070 your news from TV, These forgers were so sloppy that they didn't even fake the 2045 02:23:01,070 --> 02:23:06,030 right name on the documents and ignorantly used the name of a former 2046 02:23:06,030 --> 02:23:09,370 minister who had not been in power for more than a decade. 2047 02:23:09,690 --> 02:23:14,150 It would be the equivalent of trying to pass off a modern document today and 2048 02:23:14,150 --> 02:23:17,350 signing it Ronald Reagan, which is not even possible. 2049 02:23:17,710 --> 02:23:22,750 This bogus information was used anyway, despite it being immediately debunked by 2050 02:23:22,750 --> 02:23:23,750 the CIA. 2051 02:23:23,770 --> 02:23:25,330 They knew it wasn't true. 2052 02:23:25,790 --> 02:23:28,170 The CIA is evil, but they're not stupid. 2053 02:23:28,530 --> 02:23:32,190 But it didn't matter, and they knew it wasn't going to matter. The press never 2054 02:23:32,190 --> 02:23:37,310 took the 20 seconds or so that I just did to explain this, with the exception 2055 02:23:37,310 --> 02:23:38,490 Bill Moyers on PBS. 2056 02:23:39,390 --> 02:23:44,210 All in one, you see the imperialists' intentional deception and sloppiness 2057 02:23:44,210 --> 02:23:45,850 the media's yes -man partnership. 2058 02:23:46,510 --> 02:23:51,010 They can't claim incompetence when they're the ones faking the documents. 2059 02:23:51,520 --> 02:23:55,420 And the media can't claim ignorance when they will not report on the matter even 2060 02:23:55,420 --> 02:23:56,420 after the fact. 2061 02:23:56,560 --> 02:23:58,420 They lie to you together. 2062 02:23:59,160 --> 02:24:03,560 The mass media is just a pro -war PR machine for the Pentagon. 2063 02:24:05,060 --> 02:24:07,700 Now, did Osama bin Laden set all that up? 2064 02:24:08,000 --> 02:24:10,460 No. Osama bin Laden is dead. 2065 02:24:10,680 --> 02:24:16,180 Robert Mueller, the former director of the FBI, finally told CNN in September 2066 02:24:16,180 --> 02:24:17,460 2002 that... 2067 02:24:17,770 --> 02:24:21,550 Quote, there was no legal proof to prove the identities of the suicidal 2068 02:24:21,550 --> 02:24:26,850 hijackers. There seems to be a lot of mystery surrounding Mohammed Atta. 2069 02:24:27,070 --> 02:24:30,550 He's the lead hijacker, dubbed so by the mass media. 2070 02:24:30,770 --> 02:24:34,850 He was the one used to link Iraq to anthrax, unfairly. 2071 02:24:35,520 --> 02:24:39,920 And then this guy takes a bag with him on his final attack with all the plans 2072 02:24:39,920 --> 02:24:43,680 it and all the names of all the hijackers on his final flight, which, if 2073 02:24:43,680 --> 02:24:45,640 discovered, would ruin the entire thing. 2074 02:24:46,020 --> 02:24:50,560 Agents in the Able Danger Program tracking ATA had their reports redacted, 2075 02:24:50,560 --> 02:24:55,180 their accounts omitted from the 9 -11 Commission report, even after Zellacal 2076 02:24:55,180 --> 02:24:58,240 assured them that it would be in there. They say they're afraid of our own 2077 02:24:58,240 --> 02:25:01,880 government, and when Colonel Schaefer wrote a book about it, the Pentagon 2078 02:25:01,880 --> 02:25:03,220 up the copies and burned them. 2079 02:25:03,530 --> 02:25:07,650 Something to hide? Doing some follow -up on what we knew about Mohammed Atta 2080 02:25:07,650 --> 02:25:08,850 leading up to 9 -11. 2081 02:25:09,070 --> 02:25:14,950 That's right. Some witnesses, apparently there was a redacted form of what 2082 02:25:14,950 --> 02:25:19,190 people in the intelligence community knew regarding that man right there, 2083 02:25:19,270 --> 02:25:20,270 Mohammed Atta. 2084 02:25:20,710 --> 02:25:22,610 in the Able Danger program. 2085 02:25:22,910 --> 02:25:26,710 And apparently the report had been redacted. All the names had been blacked 2086 02:25:26,830 --> 02:25:31,990 Well, FoxNews .com got a clean copy and called a number of the witnesses, five 2087 02:25:31,990 --> 02:25:36,890 in all. All of them said that we told investigators one thing, and none of 2088 02:25:36,890 --> 02:25:40,470 things actually showed up in the 9 -11 commission. And, in fact, the 2089 02:25:40,470 --> 02:25:46,230 investigators from the Department of Defense were a little agitated and 2090 02:25:46,230 --> 02:25:51,200 aggressive. So why wouldn't that show up in that report? Well, these five 2091 02:25:51,200 --> 02:25:54,940 witnesses claimed that the Defense Department was worried about taking some 2092 02:25:54,940 --> 02:25:56,760 the blame for 9 -11. 2093 02:25:57,020 --> 02:25:58,340 But here's what I don't understand. 2094 02:25:58,600 --> 02:26:01,380 Why wouldn't they put in the report these findings? 2095 02:26:02,600 --> 02:26:06,480 maybe that would look at least like they were kind of following the trail of 2096 02:26:06,480 --> 02:26:11,100 Mohammed Atta. Instead of just having this whole situation happen, you know, 2097 02:26:11,100 --> 02:26:15,380 least it gives the American public the image that at least we're kind of on to 2098 02:26:15,380 --> 02:26:19,040 him. I don't know which one's worse. But were we on to him? And did we have a 2099 02:26:19,040 --> 02:26:23,760 picture of him? And did we know him by name? And the name at that point was 2100 02:26:23,760 --> 02:26:27,880 Mohammed El -Saeed. And if we did know him, why didn't we stop him? That's the 2101 02:26:27,880 --> 02:26:31,860 problem. But does it look any worse than in August, bin Laden detained? 2102 02:26:31,880 --> 02:26:35,760 Determined to attack in the U .S. That looks bad. There were so many mistakes. 2103 02:26:36,020 --> 02:26:39,340 There were so many times where we had a chance to get bin Laden. You can go back 2104 02:26:39,340 --> 02:26:42,820 and back and back, but for some reason the Defense Department put their line in 2105 02:26:42,820 --> 02:26:45,840 the sand and said these five people that brought up the fact that we were 2106 02:26:45,840 --> 02:26:51,180 tracking a cell that included Mohammed Atta in it leading up to 9 -11 was 2107 02:26:51,180 --> 02:26:55,140 redacted, not included. Now, Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer would not stand 2108 02:26:55,140 --> 02:26:57,960 for this. He said it was called Operation Able Danger, and we were 2109 02:26:57,960 --> 02:26:58,939 Mohammed Atta. 2110 02:26:58,940 --> 02:27:03,020 And when he was interviewed... Phil Zelkow, who ended up joining the State 2111 02:27:03,020 --> 02:27:06,440 Department, he said, you know, Tony, this is an important part of the story. 2112 02:27:06,500 --> 02:27:07,860 We'll make sure it's in the 9 -11 report. 2113 02:27:08,100 --> 02:27:12,060 And it wasn't. There was no follow -up. And Colonel Schaefer would not be 2114 02:27:12,060 --> 02:27:17,560 corralled. Now, I don't understand how this led to Operation Dark Heart and the 2115 02:27:17,560 --> 02:27:22,580 purchases of 9 ,500 books by the Defense Department that were intensely 2116 02:27:22,580 --> 02:27:26,100 destroyed. That were written by Schaefer. Written by Schaefer. 2117 02:27:26,750 --> 02:27:27,870 They burned them. They did. 2118 02:27:28,450 --> 02:27:33,910 Well, what's going on? Some people who agreed to speak to FoxNews .com did so 2119 02:27:33,910 --> 02:27:37,610 without giving their names because they fear repercussions. I mean, come on. 2120 02:27:37,690 --> 02:27:41,070 What kind of repercussions could there be? I mean, I believe that they fear 2121 02:27:41,070 --> 02:27:44,570 repercussions. What I'm saying is why should they be put in that position 2122 02:27:44,570 --> 02:27:45,770 they would actually fear that? 2123 02:27:46,010 --> 02:27:47,830 I mean, are we all on the same team here? 2124 02:27:48,190 --> 02:27:52,690 I think. Oh, somebody's on the same team, all right, but we're not on it. 2125 02:27:53,150 --> 02:27:57,710 Yes, Atta's full name and his cell number had been known since at least 2126 02:27:57,710 --> 02:27:58,710 of 1999. 2127 02:27:59,570 --> 02:28:04,110 Atta's handler or case agent, Mohammad Zamar, who had also recruited Marwan Al 2128 02:28:04,110 --> 02:28:09,850 -Shahib, who was on Flight 175 in two different money conduits, Saeed Bahaji 2129 02:28:09,850 --> 02:28:15,330 Ramzi bin Al -Shahib, had fought in Bosnia and Afghanistan, and he, Ramzi, 2130 02:28:15,410 --> 02:28:17,110 and Marwan all lived together. 2131 02:28:17,770 --> 02:28:21,650 Zamar's phones had been tapped, and he had also been mapped by Able Danger. 2132 02:28:22,170 --> 02:28:26,450 But the CIA acts like they learned everything after the Moroccans captured 2133 02:28:26,450 --> 02:28:28,290 and sent him to Syria to be tortured. 2134 02:28:28,690 --> 02:28:32,970 Yet the CIA had been snooping on the man that recruited and set up financial 2135 02:28:32,970 --> 02:28:38,610 channels for hijackers while he was recruiting them. They had Marwan and 2136 02:28:38,610 --> 02:28:40,570 cell numbers and did nothing. 2137 02:28:41,710 --> 02:28:46,650 Nothing aside from cover it up, that is. Months before the attack, a military 2138 02:28:46,650 --> 02:28:52,070 intelligence unit identified four men as terrorists with al -Qaeda connections, 2139 02:28:52,450 --> 02:28:57,150 but government lawyers told them not to share the information with the FBI. 2140 02:28:58,920 --> 02:29:03,000 According to Congressman Kurt Weldon, it was a secret Pentagon intelligence 2141 02:29:03,000 --> 02:29:09,040 unit, codenamed Able Danger, that knew a year before 9 -11 that lead hijacker 2142 02:29:09,040 --> 02:29:14,060 Mohammed Atta was in the United States and connected to al -Qaeda. And as you 2143 02:29:14,060 --> 02:29:16,380 can see, they identified Mohammed Atta's cell. 2144 02:29:16,750 --> 02:29:21,330 In the summer of 2000, he says, the Pentagon Special Ops Command had 2145 02:29:21,330 --> 02:29:26,530 two terrorist cells inside the U .S. and knew of the connection between Atta and 2146 02:29:26,530 --> 02:29:30,850 three other men who became hijackers. So a year before 9 -11... 2147 02:29:31,070 --> 02:29:33,970 They had their picture? They had the picture of Muhammad Atta and they knew 2148 02:29:33,970 --> 02:29:37,810 roughly where he was? Yes. Weldon, who's a ranking member of both the Armed 2149 02:29:37,810 --> 02:29:42,310 Services and Homeland Security Committees, says he got this story from 2150 02:29:42,310 --> 02:29:47,490 agents in the Able Danger Unit, one of whom confirmed this to CBS News. But 2151 02:29:47,490 --> 02:29:51,770 there are major questions. If the Pentagon ever knew in advance about 2152 02:29:51,770 --> 02:29:54,590 Atta, that was news to Secretary Rumsfeld. 2153 02:29:54,950 --> 02:29:55,950 I have no idea. 2154 02:29:56,110 --> 02:30:00,310 I've never heard of it until this morning. It was also news to the 9 -11 2155 02:30:00,310 --> 02:30:05,350 Commission, which looked extensively at Atta's history. One Pentagon agent says 2156 02:30:05,350 --> 02:30:09,930 he told the Commission staff about Atta. The Commission says the agent never 2157 02:30:09,930 --> 02:30:11,310 mentioned Atta's name. 205485
