a moment here on r.t. of about with the summary of those in about fifteen minutes from now in the meantime with damascus now the main capital of the arab spring well tells r.t. who could be pushing the middle east and north africa towards the political change that's in our special interview next week. today we're talking to f.o. him and all the author of several books among them gods of why the wall street and the death of american century and he is also a political risk consultant so we're going to discuss several more several of the most burning our political and economic issues in the world today mr engel thank you very much for joining us to be here to start off basically a never never before has the world faced so many economic and political problems all at the same time would you say that these conflicts which were seen today. if

you were in the dollar situation and what's happening in the northern africa and the middle east these conflicts feed off each other are they somehow related or not particularly what i see all these conflicts the decision to libya the crisis with the dollar crisis with the american economy and the conduct of american foreign policy and the last period is all part of the breakdown of the entire super power structure that was built up after being out of the world war two and nobody in washington wants to admit just as nobody in britain a hundred years ago wanted to admit that the british empire was an interminable collide and all of this is related to the term to keep this sole superpower not only intact but to spread its influence over the rest of the of the planet in that . not surprisingly much of the world is not for me going to see that so would you

say that what's happening in the middle in the middle east or northern africa right now is basically an attempt are not the behalf of the united states to keep its came up very much so the. plan was first the analysis by george w. bush when he was president just after the invasion of iraq in two thousand and three g. eight meeting and it was called the greater middle east project and that project they published a map of what they had in mind was the control and the. democratization as they call it of the entire islamic world from afghanistan pakistan down through iran syria. the persian gulf area the oil producing states there and across north africa all the way to morocco and the events the so-called arab spring have been planned years back and the instigators of those the so-called spontaneous protests and these twitter revolts in cairo and tunisia and so forth over the last months

have all been. organized to sid you asleep some of the people leaders of the protests have been trained in the belgrade in serbia by old poor activists financed by the u.s. state department. this thing has state department and u.s. intelligence all over it. and why why are they doing this well two things in my view one. there is vast wealth in the hands of the leading circles in the urban world vast wealth sovereign wealth funds of countries like kuwait to other countries but also just the resources and one of the agendas is to introduce as was done in the soviet union after nine hundred ninety one with the collapse of the soviet union the agenda of i.m.f. privatization free market economy and so forth so that western banks and financial agencies and corporations can come in and take the plunder the second agenda is

militarily in places such as libya or south sudan the supposed republic of south sudan to militarize those oil sources that are directly strategic to china's future economic growth so this is all about controlling eurasia something's bigger projects he talked about it back in one thousand nine hundred seventy his famous book the grand chessboard. and control the move especially russia and china and any potential cohesion of the eurasian countries economically and politically but as a result of that they are the so-called arab spring what can we honestly say that the middle east and. north african countries which have come through with changes have they really become more democratic gyptian tunisian friends of mine say that it's just the opposite the economy is in far worse shape and libya had the highest

living standards africa before the bombing so that made up the day the country is in ruins because of those bombings not because of. the economy of egypt is in dire straits the military remains in control they were in the military high command of egypt was sitting in the pentagon when the revolts kicked off and waited for a signal from the pentagon when to return and take control of those events so while the instigators of the conflicts all turn this thing to be you know the united states and maybe some of the european powers that you know look at libya will they be able to restore normality in these countries or is it not even in their interest i don't think we give a moment's thought to normality or normalization i think what their concern is especially the pentagon is military control the next step will be in this so-called transitional national council in libya is to have that puppet government give the legal permanent basing rights inside libya something they never had before under

quite often. some of the things defenseless and those they have a need or forces in there the african army is coordinating this the pentagon's africa command which is. interestingly enough created just after trying his two thousand and six africa diplomacy were forty heads of african nations were invited to beijing and enormous deals were signed with the chinese companies for oil exploration to build hospitals give soft loans everything the i.m.f. didn't do in africa in the last thirty years but the chinese began doing and that had enormous results for china i know that you have a very interesting opinion of this who was you say paid for wars that weighs that by the united states well you have to go back to the role in the last twenty or thirty years actually began in the eighty's with the role of the dollar as world reserve currency and china has an enormous trade surplus wal-mart is essentially an outpost of chinese manufacturing in america today so the three hundred billion plus

surplus dollars that the central bank of china masses every year what do you do with that well there's few markets big enough to invest in supposedly a big could buy gold for their central bank reserves which they are doing by the way but the only place they can invest it as they see it right now or until very recently is either in dollars or in the euro or they've got something like three trillion dollars of u.s. dollar treasury bonds or bills as their reserves today so in effect the u.s. would not be able to finance the deficit that they're running. to wage those wars in afghanistan or which those wars in iraq or in libya unless the chinese were buying u.s. treasury bonds so ironically the chinese are financing wars directly directed against chinese national interest for energy security or would you say the united states is going to has any chance of resurfacing from the crisis that it's finding

itself in right now and the only way as they see if they can survive in the dollars or instrument wall street i'm talking about is the gods of money and so i call it in my book. is to find new areas of loot so the arab spring is directed against grabbing and privatizing the best wealth of the arab oil world and here will generally just as the use of the i.m.f. in the former soviet union was consciously designed by wall street and by washington in order to plunder the vast resources of russia and the former soviet union and warsaw pact countries so if the dollar does not retain its superior status do you think there's any likelihood that the euro will retain it or inheritance rather well one reason that there's this difficulty with greece and these so-called euro zone economies is that this is part of a kind of a covert financial warfare between the dollar and the euro was reserve currency it

started when the chinese started complaining publicly about the. flawed economic policy of of washington running up deficits and in danger in the value of trying to use treasury bonds so now. just one that became public. suddenly there was a greek crisis and the greek crisis was put in place in two thousand and two before greece under the eurozone none other than goldman sachs the most powerful of bank in america argue with me today politically well connected in washington so. it's very clear if you follow the money trail that that. big. crisis was programmed to be detonated at command by wall street and they were us treasury as well as the federal reserve in order to defend the reserve currency role of the us dollar but i don't see the european economies endangered as the us because one great difference europe still produces things europe still has

a real industry which i believe that from going back to the beginning of our interview we believe that there is some european countries that benefit from the situation rather than saying maybe ari i don't like france well i was just going to say sarkozy had a meeting in march when the whole drama in libya kicked off and he invited leaders of the so-called transitional national council to paris and made them whispered sweet nothings in their ears about having control of the oil resources of eastern libya and poured money weapons the cia and the french intelligence have been pouring arms into these insurgent groups inside libya this is an armed insurrection financed by nato countries and libya it's an old peaceful twitter revolution of a bunch of kids who have a dream of american style democracy or something this is raw power grab by the french but what do you predict or in your opinion what do you think will happen in the be an hour i mean i mean to the troops will have to pull out at some point and

then what there will be. i imagine in iraq like scenario or afghanistan what do you have in afghanistan you have seventeen permanent u.s. military bases in afghanistan most of them air base and so we're not bombing the taliban and they're preparing for a coming war and perhaps ten years with china or maybe with russia they've got a military bastion in the heart of central asia that's something that they never had to win the cold war. so i think libya's is just not for us about what role do you think process it playing in the in the events where. i think russia given the history going back more than more than the cold war era. russia can play a very stabilizing role as a as a counter force of this highly dangerous strategy of the greater middle east project of nature with the rest in that region russia can play a very important role blocking. something toward events from the side of the un

security council in syria i don't think trying to the degree as we did in the case from the u.n. action aside from action in syria but in more ways than that russia could play a very constructive role i think in the region to try to counter the statistical sation i would hope they do. thank you very much for your time. a very warm welcome to you this is your news today protesters on the wall so. they have. something. to give the status of the human experiments.

a chance to fight for premier league survival as the long russian season splits the top and sometimes it's great commission or great side recently lost frailties in it with captain and tom has a hinting that the true reason for this if it lies behind the scenes similar sedation is brewing a second division side i've seen is no good players threatening to boycott matches and never. i would say that now where it says cost hopes of a first ever case crown have improved somewhat spitting one of the league's strongest in the metal of course in the russian capital is now considered the top of reports. to scott have won just two majors out of eight against me when you go ask in the cage and only ones on home ice the stanley helm side produced an electric start in the search for a third wind discuss striking first as which is awfully i mean people read and lose a hand just two minutes in and minute and

next to play but failed to get our eyes and their chances a serious cause it was just last minute was confident it when the dives short to the final score and you have been through games in a row for that passed out so when we got the two zero lead we knew what happened there was they guided so we didn't want to happen again and. we battle hard and in a second period we really got lucky will be there because they really pressure us and we scored a third goal and powerplay so i think that was the point for the game we came out hard drive by where we are and were successful where there were. a couple shifts to the start of the game or. managed to get into a ball for a full second all this got coined one line up and now seed fifth in the western conference while last season's going cup semi final is made all continue their relatively poor before lunch and state in the. r.t. . graham henry has stood down as head coach of the new zealand rugby team this
