see this is beginning in good ways it's got the mind of what is a secret good part of the thing one could look at whatever killed. him is how many that brazil queued up on the business of this year's the opposite would have been that he needed to pose as going to be prime minister is that was he really the. i got him for my feet on kevin durant in the limb but he's. got the victim here. very concerned by the attacks of foreign multinationals against his country monaco is writing articles and preparing a book on the subject. he is visiting his former ph d. supervisor and hearten in toronto to discuss the upcoming trial. a specialist in international investment law highly critical of arbitration
1:55 am
tribunals he has regularly intervened on the international scene sounding the alarm for years. but only in 5 of the last weeks have been like a roller coaster in colombia i mean these claim. no one i wanted to talk to you about the one. prosser go out of your morning case yes 16000000000 us i would say 20 percent of colombia's national public budget it was quite surprising because public authorities were saying that the agreements negotiated were positive for the corn 3 and that foreign investors would never start a claim in the corn 3 in these very moment that is what happened then why is that colombian law is not good enough for these foreign investors it is not the case that car loan. i think they are sheeps we're trying to solve our problems we're
1:56 am
trying to become a more stable country and we have the means to do it but with these type of cases or not we're forced to reach durable peace are put into question it's not the 1st country to be surprised by a foreign investor claims these treaties are like a ticking time bomb for taxpayer sooner or later they so there's not a lot of public discussion of these cases not i don't like weiss i have a column in the newspaper and i try to open the gate but the only thing i got from them was about berman and ignorance that's because it's embarrassing to the trade department to see these treaties that they negotiated. and used against the country if you're a foreign investor and you want to leverage against the government of course you would have an interest in many cases to keep it all confidential because if you
1:57 am
keep it confidential and the government keeps a confidential then they can do deals. to do. so when they. say. let's sit in an exit dodge i mean. don't. let's you know could you be divinely kid because it's us you know i think you dislike democrats a 50 year old. what don't you see 2 i don't see you next that dog isn't good enough no i love. surely boehner said this only. believing in weird things by the way is called superstition or magical thinking believing weird things like the. it is not. the system. we have

in the software of our program to try to connect things in the environment just in case there's a real connection. the problem with having too many claims of gold is really hitting the markets in a serious way people want their gold now because they realize that the money world is collapsing and then they go to get their gold and these exchanges. are saying no we don't have the gold. and so that's causing people to want their gold even more than all the countries that are repatriated there told germany that they don't even have the gold on their own soil then they repatriated their gold now everyone wants to repatriate they want their. physical price of gold zooming higher and the paper price soon will become a meaningless price. your
1:59 am
government and our government and all the other major governments of the world know what's going to them and when it's going to. but they haven't told you and they haven't told me they have them and they'll. imagine something as big as the earth is going to cause tidal waves earthquakes volcanoes are going to wrapped and it's going to chill. so we're in for a while right. my great grandfather's. nobody would care about the law or prison so you'd have wallace of. a turtle between the and the.
