occasions to contribute to the issue but if you go from a great comeback of the nanny to squeeze on populist totus cooperation with russia is to greece is it beyond. basic reason that minister of india's went to moscow did or do to show the difference that it is that this government has in order to continue having its sanctions against against the e.u. sanctions against russia you need consensus one country if it says no then the sanctions are dropped greece can do that but i think that greece will attempt it took to convince the other member states that there is no longer any need to continue with the sanctions we have the problem i see it as a problem with great pressure that the united states is imposing upon greece we have recently signed a bi electoral agreement a defense agreement which grants full basis create.

police said it does their parts for greece this is something that we had back during the cold war i doubt we're coming back again and without any reason we greeks don't see any danger as the united states does so. i think that we would try to get a librium in our relations. with russia and try to balance it with the united states. thanks joining us here not international we're back to the top of the hour with an 8.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest on the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. well we've undergone

a corporate coup d'etat in slow motion. 35000 lobbyists in washington they write the legislation they write the bills. all it takes is one phone call from somebody on the hill to someone in the pentagon saying hey turn on the dogs the hills out to get our program the guys in the senate are on board we need you to turn on the gucci shoes guys to straighten this thing out the guy's been the lobbyist. and what this does is just lock the system up and that's the whole name of the game it's it's called political engineering and i'm like political science political engineering is real. one of the most important things done or stand is essentially creates what we call a scream. and it's like petrol motion machine for getting ever increasing defense budgets the way we do it is by downplaying the future consequences to start a new weapon we over promised as performance under promise it's cost we then

systematically spread dollars jobs and profits to as many congressional districts as quickly as possible so that everybody has skin in the game. the people who are invested in this day or people like the largest defense contractor in the world. they would die before they see it. going to change the world. we're probably already working. good margin basically. to push them to goals you know in all branches of the government. of the home. and this is the group. that make them if you look like a bunch of schoolboys. fiscal year 9992.3 trillion missing fiscal year 2001 point one trillion missing the pentagon has claimed year after

year that the reason it can't account for the money is because its computers don't communicate with each other one trillion $1.00 bills stacked high would reach nearly 68000 miles into space one 3rd of the way to the moon. i got a call from the f.b.i. saying that i was a target of a death threat. and that's what happens when you go against the big boys who has the contracts today to make those systems communicate with each other and how much have the taxpayers paid for them there are times that corporations do things they should do in which case they tend to be suspended for some period there are times then that corporations can get out of the penalty box it. was never in the penalty box if you could proceed to my 2nd question please. the 2nd question.

are forgotten what the 2nd question was. individuals operating in the shadows and never having their names are able to leverage the power of the military and the foreign policy apparatus for their own personal pick uni ery in. what now who's the enemy how do we justify all this tiny soulless planes over. what better our new enemy doug and i both go invisible enemy cold war on terror. good being good in minus 0 and then you'll meet the needs of the unity back by the end on those those for me. that are no room

but enough to know but he didn't seem to be dooryard to many gun woman oh so then you were not good at this. to see be nice to need insistence of maturity i'm going to see me you know better the internet you know you don't you know. i think of the most basic level when we realize how we've entered into. a permanent state of war like what often proponents of. counter terrorism on a global scale think of as a long war but a war without end something like that. and i think that what we've accepted is a political regime that is sustained by fear is a very old very old political tactic i mean machiavelli asin the prince. is

a better for the prince to be feared or loved and his conclusion is because the locus of fear that the source of fear resides in him in the prince it can be constant for his rule whereas the locus of love resides in the people it's in their power and so for them could be tossed in a long lasting. i mean so much already opens a question that he he probably doesn't provide us the answer with what would it mean to have our social arrangement like the basis of our social choices. be founded on love. i don't think one has to justify the cost and nature of the national security state one just has to keep the people fearful enough to support it but what i want to bring to your attention today is the potentially much more sinister nexus between iraq and the okada terrorist network. every word in that speech was gone over by the director of central intelligence and his deputy

director after so there's nothing that i made up it was nothing that i stuck in there and in fact some people tried to stick extra things in there that the intelligence community wouldn't verify with multi-sourcing and i said no powell grabbed me physically which was unlike him and drug me into a space at the cia at langley and said throw all the material in my presentation about terrorism out cut it out out this amount this is just within an hour george tenet the director of central intelligence made a spectacular bombshell presentation we have just learned from a hollow evill al qaida operative under interrogation about significant contacts between baghdad. and al qaida. this was devastating. here's the director of central intelligence telling the secretary of

state that he has interrogated evidence well the secretary turned to me and said put it back in. to continue to have a deep interest in acquiring weapons of mass destruction as with the story as the kawi in his network i can trace the story of a senior terrorist operative telling how iraq provided training in these weapons to al qaeda later i learned that that was shake out libby that had to happen just instantly happened it happened months before they'd been water boarded in egypt when he did this no u.s. personnel were present and he had recanted within a couple of weeks and we never were told about that every statement i make today is backed up by sources solid sources these are not assertions we're giving you are facts and conclusions based on solid intelligence we were indisputable. we were allowed to. at this hour american and coalition forces are in the early stages

of military operations to disarm iraq to free its people and to defend the world from great danger as karl rove famously said to this reporter you know you guys are reality based community is the big media by the time you figured out you know what's wrong with our reality we've moved on the creation of another reality digital cell or cause to come into the possession of saddam hussein weapons of mass destruction did the united states to him absolutely not. iran iraq was on such a scale that i was on the iranian side and i went down to the bottom i was actually given the gas kit and so let me take the train back right all the way up to tehran and the carriages were crammed with iranian soldiers who'd been gassed somewhere just coffee russian and one man who was reading a koran yourself and put a handkerchief blood on his lips. gradually to cargo's became permeated with this

sort of 36 mile and i realized it was the smell of the gas they were coughing up from the lungs i was going around the car does open the windows and night is trying to clean the train out of the smell of obviously chemical. bombs to 2003 i was being attacked on radio shows especially from america you know complaining about the american invasion or you pro saddam and i said excuse me i was on the train of iranians gassed by the iraqis and the chemical components came from the united states at the very time that you will rumsfeld was meeting saddam you were meeting with saddam hussein i think we have some video. of that meeting tell me what was going on during this this why did you get this video from the iraqi television was on the iraqi television when did they give it to you recently are we back then we dug this out of the c.n.n. library i see. isn't that interesting. there are you know.

our war on terror. begins with al qaida. but it does not in. this 30 days war on terror is irrational it's like saying. a war on the whole war on vine and so on that it's nonsense you stepping into this possibility of confidential wall. now are you but it kept reassuring us and we kept believing him because you don't want to think you were prime minister receiving you in that route too long as nothing was serious . when the serious fraud office

launched its investigation into all the crimes that we were covering it turned out that many of these arms deals had been forced through by tony blair personally he said 30 k. saddam salesman which ever there was a dispute ever in government he always found that. the serious fraud office got to the brink of uncovering the secret swiss bank accounts by which he was from owning money to the saudi royal family the swiss said we're going to notify the back to tell folders. that blessed swung into action. or to the serious fraud office to close down their investigators. said if the investigation continued they would withdraw all national security cooperation which would lead in the words of prince bandar to blood on the streets of london. the story we've been banging away out for more than 5 years is something they

really woke up to it because everybody could see was a huge cover up strapped to the spectacle of a british prime minister closing ballad a criminal investigation for reasons we all wear that your government was approving pavements to a friend of president bush's as part of british aerospace is back system is that why you suspended a fraud inquiry. when tony blair started talking about national security interests that supposed to be a card that trumps all of those i don't believe the investigation is that it would have led anywhere except to the complete wreckage of a vital strategic relationship for our country in terms of fighting terrorism in terms of the middle east in terms of british interests there. so these things absolutely stunning it seems to be a very expensive way of organizing payment. money .

the good news if you like and use the term deep state you are no longer deemed a conspiracy theorist the bad news is very real and powerful and a danger to the democratic process the deep state as the 4th branch of government is it counts. blair came to south africa specifically to lobby the b. the british weapons manufacturers one of the biggest contract on our arms deal.

and the option that they presented was 2 and a half times more expensive than the plane but the south african air force actually wanted to be a systems real performance real advantage. as monday was about to step down from public life its successor tabone betty made the decision to spend 10000000000 dollars quite scarce public resources on this weaponry that we didn't need. rather than provide lifesaving medication for the almost 6000000 south africans who were then living with hiv. the primary reason for those deals was that around $300000000.00 in bribes were paid to senior politicians. and sadly to the african national congress the a.n.c.

my own party. i was called in by a senior member of the n c's national executive council he said to me look i'm good this is a battle you cannot win because this money bribe. we used to fund our 999 election . and almost immediately i'm asked to make a statement to the press that says there's nothing to investigate. so it's all over . and i looked at him and i said no no. i won't be able to live with myself. if i stop this investigation but at the same time i'm also realizing. that this is the end of my political career. the heads of government of the seals people in chief of the country's largest contractors. and this is the template used by large defense contractors around the

world. companies might be not only sort of effect to be part of the government but they're effectively above the. corruption is not merely a dirty little detail on top of the arms trade it's actually in a lot of cases what drives the international arms trade many of these deals would not happen if they did not provide opportunities for personal enrichment i would be offended if i thought. we had a monopoly on corruption. to pay more for the already very good stuff we've made around here are the 20 years that it was there a $1000000.00 it being the man or. as i was being dragged down i don't rise to the last 2nd i'm going to still favor remind everyone that this guy is a war criminal and i just say actually called the record what he said about iraq is

completely and totally untrue i've never had a discussion with them now i'm not suggesting that of the phone call between gay people with an inbred exactly what happened most j.p. morgan in a consortium of other banks didn't fact prop up the whole iraqi economy to the tune of about 2 and a half 1000000000 not 20000000000 of a bit nervous that they then 6 months after he left office bear some a fine by j.p. morgan for $5000000.00 every year i was just trying to enlighten the public that there was corruption involved and not just bad decision making i would like to find out how this. is to access the cool. there must be a back door in because they don't go on at the t. of time and there was a court room directly underneath the court room the play was in and it was left on lot so i went through that run up 2 floors by the fire escape and then to the door that calls itself by this time my heart was pounding like i really got mad and i actually lost my courage for the moment i went and sat down in a low and

a bouncer my family gents toilet there i did actually ring my mother and said listen i'm here in washington do you think i should still go in and my mom said yeah go on you won't get another chance and i thought that's it i mean the man or. augustine said. that hope has 2 beautiful daughters anger and courage anger at the way things are and courage to see that they don't remain the way they are. when. you can serve 2 sets of principles privilege and power justice and dreams the more you make compromises with those who serve privilege and power point diminished capacity for justice and trust. and. i think that the rebel seeks to keep those who have power fearful.

of this. have. to go. unappreciated listen to to retaliate. well but of all that the feud has on t.v. . which we will see to either put it to be but it does appear to be a year of have one should read a book to free society. now it means in what i don't. see. no no not to come to much stuff it could be a. 2 man hope under george bush. who watches the inside and the minute i see them coming to school. who work on. the general and how the men who are cut in. peace that's what we want freedom and peace

the good up. up. a few off the field who will live who want to see. when the who dollar an hour just to her feet. and they just push them and. you can bet that. they get bought in the shop at up to say something we don't know who would buy that going to if you want too much coffee want to t'other going to be full. damage how about a lead up to a silo let me allow to be a dam allowed up how well it had he let you colorado george and then tell us where in there not be a stock will do it when i can x. amount that we had the internet up in to then nick at it but if you so well accepted it did ya know that a dean let mr. george bush who would been with darwin at the. state of an island on how they just.

died well i can no hole no hoof and. i am now a big no. so what if the guy threw a shoe at. there me. but my. going to be may then is that how. that was for him to himself. make. them as if no no no just said the. movement. i'm going to reach is the sourcing of the l

a times report paragraph one of us authorities say column one still u.s. officials say said one u.s. justice department counterterrorism official column 2 officials say u.s. authorities say u.s. officials say if those officials said the officials confirmed american officials complained they said that u.s. officials. u.s. officials stressed column 3 u.s. authorities said jordanian officials said to go to the site. no loft place we haven't finished yet several u.s. officials said column 4 u.s. official said several american official said officials say say u.s. officials but u.s. officials said one u.s. counterterrorism official said i'm not joking there it is that is the journalism you're getting fed i sometimes think the l a times the new york times here because american officials say. i denounce the call to invade iraq publicly in their times issued me a formal. written reprimand which is what you get before you're fired under union

rules to stop speaking out against the war had been a middle east bureau treat for me i'm better iraq than 7 years in the middle east. how can you come out of gaza not being free. what's being done to those people how can you come out of the sudan also. dozens of other places i better not be. i've seen the bodies of a lot of children which i can't forget. you know especially having done it for 20 years and.

dostoevsky 7 l. is the inability to love and that's what kills people. i fully get why people blow their brains out it's really. and i don't use love as a kind of hallmarks schmaltzy and we all got to love each other. i'm saying that the only way you're healed from those experiences is by re-establishing a connection. with that kind of power with another human being and if you can't do that you don't survive and i have friends couldn't do it they're not here. it's you know the power of love. to transcend time and it looks like a ga you'd be to alpha $38.00 that we used to have a woman loaches amigo and it fired $4000.00 rounds per minute one of the

manifestations of the national security state especially in the in the sort of apple j. it's arrived at today. is that it destroys the palms it destroys the will to diplomacy and it destroys the skill for diplomacy. if you're a small state like we were for 150 years in essence these of these spain france england and even russia you've got to be exquisitely good at diplomacy you got to be able to talk yourself out of lots of things and make deals and compromises and so forth but if you're the world's handelman you don't deal with anybody you smack . your military and you smack him.

and we're going to fulfill the repeated promises possible to the people and come on you know we've all pots be. ready for a. pretty good burka now you want to 1st. know.

the russian man says general election campaign gets under way in the u.k. boris johnson attempts to smear his main rival jeremy corbett and the labor party started with through saying no that's for power poisonings. a major us net. work at knowledge is it didn't it's one explosive allegations of sexual abuse by the disgraced financier geoffrey epstein because the story didn't meet his that the tauriel standards. desperation in a graph because protests and violence gripped the country on a scale unseen since the overthrow of for them things they. are and. they will welcome you one.
