12:31 pm
more civilian deaths came just hours after libyan leader made his first t.v. appearance in more than a week. also german court finds a former nazi death camp guard guilty of accessory to war crimes they include the execution of thousands of jews during the second world war ninety one year old john demjanjuk was sentenced to five years in prison but released pending an appeal. next as our programs continue r.t. talks to a political analyst who's developed his own theory to explain as he sees it what's behind major political events. you know thank you very much for talking to r.t. here in price and now tell me what is the geopolitics the geopolitics is looking at the underlying global agenda greater than gender that is multigenerational and outside the bounds of say the day to day perception as presented in the
12:32 pm
mainstream media some people say that what you do is actually fair mongering amongst the general population what's your reaction to that people will go through fear as they start to realize what's occurring and they're also go through anger but when they actually get through that and they start to see the bigger picture then actually is very empowering to be able to actually understand what's going on and see that bigger picture middle east we've seen a wave of revolutions across across north africa in the middle east you have things that you call fault flag events do you think that these revolutions also were thoughts like again. at this stage of the game it's very difficult to say i think the things in the middle east have been unfolding at a phenomenal rate of knots what i do perceive though is that the ultimate target was indeed libya along let's just have a look at a couple of things here on january the fourth of this year the un was about to release a report which actually was praising the death as
12:33 pm
a model leader in the arab world and you know let's just also recognize one remarkable piece of coincidence all of the countries that are tagged by the mainstream media on behalf of the political elite all of the countries tags such as venezuela cuba libya iraq iran north korea all have one thing in common or had one thing in common and that is they are free of debt from the world bank that they are not locked into the world bank and the i.m.f. they have their own banks they issue their own currency and we also have to recognize the remarkable coincidence between gadhafi. statement that he was going to start issuing gold diena and demanding that he's always purchased in gold and then the next thing we know course then we have a popular uprising now this was brilliant it was a brilliant strategy because when tony blair and george bush announced in two thousand and two they were planning to launch. a regime change event on
12:34 pm
iraq millions of people hit the streets across the the western world but this time this time effectively the same has or is in process in libya as was done in iraq over there be eight years ago in two thousand and three and yet this time because if you like the scene was set through other popular uprisings libya just seem to be the next natural part of the process and then the next natural part of the process it seems is syria now what we've just the e.u. has just applied sanctions to syria what do you see developing as in that situation but i think actually what's happening elsewhere basically when syria is deliberately contrived to take the attention away from libya the goal is libya the goal is control of not just the oil in libya libya's debts. it was less than one month g.d.p.
12:35 pm
so it wasn't that which is working capital but it's not just the oil because in addition to supporting his country i mean let's let's understand that you know gadaffi paid a social wage every libyan of working age received a thousand the equivalent of a thousand dollars a month and it was up to them whether they worked or not so good that he was putting money back into the community all education was free he was not index of the world bank he was i'm not suggesting that everything about gadhafi was wonderful i think the appropriate term to describe it could that he would be a benevolent despot but nonetheless he wouldn't buy in to the overtures of the world bank he was also spending a significant chunk of the oil revenues on developing the massive ancient underground aquifers and he developed an incredible engineering network to take water from these aquifers and effectively turn the northern sahara desert the
12:36 pm
libyans era into arab farmland so this would potentially not only make libya even more independent but also. enable it to effectively become a pseudo superpower you know within that region i have to ask you this question i'm listening to you talking do you consider yourself to be a conspiracy theorist. no i analyze the geo political agenda in reality more and more people are starting to realize that the myth all a-g. that is put out by the mainstream media is nothing more than a political construct and of course that's been demonstrated literally in the last few days with the sudden manifestation of a certain birth certificate which when it appeared on the white house website was immediately identified as being a forgery because it was still in the photoshop layers in the event that the media
12:37 pm
particularly of course the us media then needed something of enormous magnitude to take the birth certificate issue off of the front pages so they decided that they needed to murder a sum of enlargement for what is at least a third time and i don't make that observation likely because we've we've had people who are very close to work close to the u.s. administration in the immediate aftermath of nine eleven who have stated that to solve the bin ladin was dead before the end of two thousand and one and then of course we had the iconic interview between dovid frost and then his ear bhutto in november of two thousand and seven where benazir bhutto stated categorically omar shaykh had murdered osama bin ladin a man who. now and david frost made no comment whatsoever he let it go completely unquestioned despite the fact that this was breaking news or should have been breaking news for benazir bhutto of course unfortunately paid
12:38 pm
a tragic price for revealing that little gem of information because five weeks after that interview with david frost she herself was assassinated you were saying that the supposed this as a nation of a sovereign largent was in in an attempt to cover up the allegation that it wasn't born in the united states it's certainly having that effect doesn't it and of course now what's happening is that the story is unraveling it's an. rapidly. the the us administration is finding extremely difficult to stay with a single script because more and more people are starting to spot holes in the script and of course as they ask more questions and it's like any lie you know once people are exposed as lying and you probe that lie then they have to come up with more lies to cover the gaps in the original lie i mean we saw this piece of footage that was released that was allegedly a psalm of enlarging watching t.v. in his luxury compound and i mean close analysis of that photograph shows that it's
12:39 pm
nothing like any of the. photographs of osama bin laden but i mean this story has still got some legs i'm not suggesting that after a few days we know all the facts but what i am suggesting is that people should not be taking the version of events offered by the mainstream media at face value and we should actually take it as beholden upon all of us to diggers deeply as possible to establish what we believe to be the truth it's just over a year since the massive oil spill from b.p. in the gulf of mexico you suggest that it wasn't in fact caused by a technical failure or incompetence in any way that you think that something deeper and more sinister lurks behind it as well and my reason for that belief is that there are some very very important questions that both b.p. and the u.s. government have done their utmost to make sure don't get asked and to be very specific the deepwater horizon at the time i had one of b.p.'s most experienced
12:40 pm
company men on the rig was a guy called ronald's separate bardot and several was taken off the rig supposedly to attend a course in lafayette louisiana now it's remarkable that b.p.'s most experienced company man should be taken off the rig to learn how to use the b o p the most significant jump. of the the drilling operation i.e. just as the wells of about to reach completion the person that was put on the rig to replace was a guy called bob colusa colusa is the complete antithesis of vado he was a young guy he had no deep water drilling experience his only experience was land drilling and he was the main man he was the head honcho on the rig when the disaster occurred why b.p. would want to deliberately poor oil into the gulf and i'm not suggesting that the script was actually written by b.p.
12:41 pm
in fact individuals within the unfortunately are potentially part of. i say a hidden hierarchy you know the questions need to be out who took the decision to put palooza on that rig these are questions that haven't been properly answered by the gulf coast hearings and bob has declined to appear before the gulf coast here and by pleading the fifth amendment i that if he does give evidence any evidence he gives me likely incriminate him and people can look this up for themselves and and see the you tube video clip of the united states senate deliberately overturning the request for the gulf coast hearings to be given the peris been the gulf coast here and been given the power subpoena it could have not only demanded that bob colusa actually appear before the hearing he could have demanded that bob colusa shares what he knows occurred on that rig immediately prior to the blowout and what could possibly be the reason for essentially deliberately spilling
12:42 pm
millions of barrels of oil into the gulf of mexico what is the purpose of it i believe that the purpose of of this war it was a population reduction event and we've already seen elements of population reduction in the gulf coast area after katrina where many of the black residents of the area have not returned to new orleans. some cases they have been permitted to return to new orleans because there's absolutely nowhere for them to go because they're not being permitted to return to their former residence so what you're suggesting is that governments and big business are colluding to cull populations and why would they target a population that lives on the coast in the gulf of mexico. because basically they want to turn it into a massive production arena the reality is that the effects of that disaster are not being reported and have never been reported really outside of the gulf coast region the it's not just the oil and the mix of the dispersant
12:43 pm
corexit and corrects it is extremely toxic it is toxicity is ten times that of oil alone and the reason that corrects it was poured onto the slick was to break up the slick but also to force it below the surface of the gulf because under federal law b.p.'s liability would be related to the size of the visible slick so if you can remove the visible slick then you reduce the liability now the other effect that that's having is that it's actually killing the marine life in the gulf because it's causing a dead zone because as the as the slick descends then all life beneath it effectively dies because it's not getting the natural sunlight in our thank you very much thank you. a cluster mission. and inside the container you have.
12:44 pm
and you can have anywhere from dozens up to hundreds there's a huge market right now for cattle area clearance because there are a lot of countries in coral that are contaminated by unexploded ordnance. and so you've got these companies then n.g.o.s that are basically shrunk that have an expertise to get rid of these weapons what they do is they code in each place they will hire local train the locals how do the clerics let the locals basically take ownership because you know they have a vested interest in clearing their homes and they're putting themselves at risk every single day when they go out there to clear areas of. a. big. block.
12:45 pm
