1
00:00:13,610 --> 00:00:15,910
Conspiracy has become quite the tar
baby.
2
00:00:16,970 --> 00:00:21,930
There exists much asinine sensationalism
and fear -mongering nonsense parading
3
00:00:21,930 --> 00:00:22,930
the banner of conspiracy.
4
00:00:24,110 --> 00:00:29,670
Total conspiracy denial is also as
foolish a priesthood as total unfiltered
5
00:00:29,670 --> 00:00:31,510
acceptance of every story of corruption.
6
00:00:32,110 --> 00:00:34,410
The truth is hard to sort out.
7
00:00:35,030 --> 00:00:37,490
Corruption and lies are part of the real
world.
8
00:00:38,090 --> 00:00:41,010
And there is a mask in our own national
identities.
9
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:46,100
that hides a very dark and sinister
history of deception and destruction.
10
00:00:51,380 --> 00:00:57,760
The truth is, the OSS or CIA grew out of
existing government industries that
11
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,900
were already involved in drug
trafficking and organized crime.
12
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:06,220
The State Department and the Federal
Bureau of Narcotics were both immersed
13
00:01:06,220 --> 00:01:07,220
the drug trade.
14
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,300
This grew into a multinational
syndicate.
15
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:15,800
that uses narco money to pay for covert
operations, including all of the banana
16
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:22,740
wars, multiple coups, Iran -Contra, the
Mujahideen, 9 -11, the civil war
17
00:01:22,740 --> 00:01:24,340
in Ukraine, and ISIS.
18
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:30,780
Likewise, wars have resulted from the
actions of these secretive agencies,
19
00:01:30,780 --> 00:01:36,300
China to Cuba, and from Vietnam to
Afghanistan, the CIA has peddled opium.
20
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,940
They finance rented terrorist privateers
and use them as proxy forces or as
21
00:01:40,940 --> 00:01:45,780
pretext for military intervention, and
to get billions of dollars dumped into a
22
00:01:45,780 --> 00:01:47,100
massive security state.
23
00:01:48,020 --> 00:01:52,300
The nexus of covert operations works for
corporate interests and for self
24
00:01:52,300 --> 00:01:56,620
-interests, not national interests, and
includes agencies in the United States,
25
00:01:56,820 --> 00:01:58,200
Israel, and Saudi Arabia.
26
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:03,120
They work in tandem with criminal groups
globally, and they have been for
27
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,260
decades. 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.

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

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.
