with so many burning issues in the world today it's important that we're all as informed as we can be now one man that's more informed than most is william and al geo political analyst and author of the book myth lice and oil wars and he joins me right now thanks so much for speaking to us thank you syria is of course the main issue at the moment globally just how close are we to seeing a foreign military intervention in that country well the worst in particular who washington has been trying for seventeen now eighteen months almost to blow syria's sky high and spread the chaos to iran because iran is the real target of the whole syrian destabilisation i think we're on the cusp of the potentiality for a world war three you have the superpower involvement of the united states as the behind the scenes kind of puppetmaster of what's going on from the air to one government and just stumbled in turkey or two on has been heavily pressured by hillary clinton and the state department to massively intervene in syria he's been

heavily pressured inside his own cabinet to not intervene because twenty three percent of the turkish population is alawite most of them the same as assad it's minority in syria and most turks regard the syrians as brothers they're not don't see them as enemies the potential of syria to blow up is far greater than anything that i've seen in more than thirty years of geopolitical analysis this is really playing with fire that could go wildly out of control and some people obviously want that in the middle east but he benefits from syria being out of control i think the the operation would be rolled into a destabilization of iran very rapidly not a military intervention i think this is all smoke and mirrors on the part of israel so you're saying that iran is the ultimate goal for washington and for more particularly for the very. powerful interests in the anglo-american oil

multinationals who have used oil since world war two not only to fuel industry but as a lever of political control geopolitical control if you will this is the theme of the book myths lies in oil wars that i just released and for them chaos in the middle east would open the door for huge new discoveries that they're sitting on top of in the caribbean in pruett obey and alaska which they've not talked openly about but the company geologists of told me that norman's resources there that are on top b.p. and the exxon mobil and so are simply sitting on these until the opportunity is right but to do that they'd have to have a far higher oil price and of course chaos in the middle east sort of that purpose so i don't think it's as simple as that i think there are a multiplicity of things going on but as henry kissinger said in a recent interview what is going on is not a fight for democracy and human rights inside syria it's

a war of within religion within islam between sunni but not only sunni there was a bite salafi branch of sunni that dominate saudi arabia not the version of sunni that is endemic in turkey since the time of ataturk which is a very secular non-state involved until the government so if you have a war a sunni versus shia within islam you have the potential to blow up the ruston who are refineries in saudi arabia where all the workers all the skilled workers in the refineries are shia muslim and not sunni only the saudi royal family and a minority and or not a minority but. so they depend on outside labor so you have the potential to blow up the heart of the oil production of the world economy what would that do to europe western europe that would be devastated i don't think that. it would benefit

the united states economy in any way shape or form i think these are political interests who stand above government above state and use the instrumentalities of state the state department the pentagon and so forth to pursue their own private agenda i think the scheme is utterly mad i think the whole bush plan from from two thousand and three for the greater middle east project which this is an extension of the whole arab spring is an extension of that state department project. to break open these these state regimes these monarchies in the middle east open them to privatization of the oil and other things and literally create the kind of chaos that was created in many countries in eastern europe after nine hundred ninety with the collapse of the soviet system so we're dealing with an instability that has the potential i think to get out of control of anyone so you saying that there's the shadowy figure of big business behind the crisis in syria not big business i'm talking about big oil but there are only four companies in the world who call the

shots on this let me focus away from syria now and look at wiki leaks and the case of julian assigns now you have some theories on what's going on that well i think the whole wiki leaks if we go back to the original story of this private barry manning. bradley manning excuse me. sitting there listening sensibly to lady gaga c.d.'s on his m p three in baghdad and doll loading what is it one hundred two hundred thousand pages of classified state department cables from all over the world i think the likelihood that that could go undetected for so many months is less than zero but once you have the cables released to wiki leaks. what's rather bizarre is that giuliana songe. gives those cables to the trust of the guardian in london the spiegel in germany and to the new york times to select what they think are the most important leaks to publish in their newspapers so

as brzezinski who's certainly one of the most knowledgeable people on this because he's done this over the decades as national security advisor zbigniew brzezinski pointed out at the time in an interview. this is a perfect opportunity for one or another intelligence service to amid all of the actual cables that are released that are real cables some of them mildly embarrassing to washington but very few of them that i've seen. you can spike you can put little pinpointed to bits of dessen from ation in and claim that that's part of the cables with set to spend his physical future inside the ecuadorian embassy where you see things ending for him i have no idea. the. what's bizarre is the charges on which this extradition

process is being prosecuted in terms of the swedish government or plausible rape of two women that that he had relations with there was some kind of relationship sort of what that did i think was to create a deletion in the media about this fellow a songe such that he became an attraction just like a certain group in moscow that has created in and credible to elation in the world media since they had their trial recently they just alluded to the pussy riot trial in russia there to say that there was somebody manipulating them in their actions. i think there's no doubt the did was managed by somebody and i think the somebody is the same somebody who has been trying through the volley in various other so-called dissidents most of them have a record of involvement with agencies or n.g.o.s connected with the us state department in the case of all the open has been documented taking money from the national endowment for democracy and us government financed n.g.o.s that

conveniently appears in all the countries where there's a color of revolution in preparation by washington. and i think the so-called pussy riot first of all it's not a punk band it's not a musical group it's a political provocation provocation collective what's clear to me is that the of course when you name a group with an outlandish name like that and then do the kinds of stunts i won't mention them on the air but what's been documented and in visible you tubes that one can find on the internet with little difficulty are things of such obscenity and violation of the decency of womanhood and human decency that it almost comes under the name satanism. and they've done this repeatedly throughout the past months and years before this desecration inside the the russian orthodox church in moscow thank you very much thank you when talking.
