companies reach on come on, contract that we are dealing with for some time. ah ah, the private military industry is a part of how the country is in my tours today. um, ah, us government doesn't track a number of contractors it uses in places iraq or afghanistan. we know it's

a log. we don't really know exactly how many i spent several years working within the industry. i have a military background. and one of the differences between being a soldier i found and being a private military contractors that when we work for the us military or any military, you take a sacred oath that you're going to serve and fight for your country as necessary, die to protect a way of life, one that you believe and i am an american soldier. i'm a warrior and a member of a team. i will never accept. i will never quit. i will never leave a fallen comrade. it's the complete opposite in a private mil to world. you look at the budget 1st, the loyalty of these companies and these businessmen change depending on market

versus we operate in the world's challenging complex emerging market. the middle east is absolutely the core for our business today. or we care in power. we perform and do the right thing on this industry is not just what you see is what you get when you see a company you don't know exactly who's working for them. they hire and they sometimes crate or they call subs subcontractors. ah ah ah, there's been commanders in afghanistan who just simply said,

we don't know who the subs of the subs the subs are. so you have all these layers of a contract. ah ah, levels 40 control starts to fade quickly. the deeper you go from the top to the bottom, ah, united states army and the military in general. so reliance on the private sector. i would call the dependency, but we don't know who's the on the ground presence of these companies overseas, which is donna mm. mm.

ah, the 1st time i arrive to, to this training time, can land iraq together? would that to 2 white men from, from the security company when we're driving out in the small track and what's to was to camp through this forest, the landscape, not so far away from the airport. and when we enter the camp and get us out of the car, the 1st thing we see is this. say you get an instructor was in charge of the training out there, making the recruits line up in order to receive these guys from the parent security company. i down there with logan flores from iraq. the seller they will not hear from you. like you said, ok he need,

do they want to share your thoughts or support to what are your are you not on noticing without loss will know basic. i'm with ripple. this is all if you would have to come back up, right? if i to return a pharmacy, a young government, texas, the iraqi clothing was considered a quite good deal in the sense that they could actually take local chapel, make us something a way to rec, for a couple of years. and then returning them after 2 years with money and from that overseas deployment, this could serve to stabilize security from caea. ah let. mm hm. i down for in the beginning of that swimming course that will not build weapons crescent.

so they were using these wooden sticks a couple of days into the training that the weapons arrived. and there was being lined up at these wooden tables within in the middle of the big cam. a, there was this tension and excitement also attention mainly because now it's actually he getting into something very real. i mean for many of the crews. so the 1st time holding a weapon since the ending of the civil law. a

many were starting to to shake and some were waving starting to cry when that when the took up the weapons and not being able to, to handle. and i did that it, it wrapped in black, brown bagging food. and i remember, i don't know, or, i mean what has gone back from the bus. i sat there weeping, citizen and often, oh, i'm same this when i'm thinking i was out for now. that with so supposed to live or not again. i. so this is not my idea shown over par again. what follow? i survive. i love whereupon

a new member. oh oh. oh. it's the still young on the lower husbands was mainly by young from dozens unload. if you're looking for young men to perform military jobs, the chances are quite good that they have also been charles diligence a job. oh, don't worry, go right on. right. i don't need to be all good and that's got sure you got to have the money to shoot. i'm

about fisher. if not bad every day. you remember a few my father. my more that with y'all when i was young. that a lot of things that i've been seeing a lot of day, which is not good for you monday. what went they they because i've been a job here. come on when they say go the on harris just before you have to do it by danny, don't do dutch you to have been to ah, with,

ah, bring you the very latest every hour the day. this is all now snow from everyone here with algorithm. so neural networks have been following us everywhere. we look online because our relationships are what matters most to us. that's how we find meeting and how we make sense um, are placing the silicon valley see don't mention in that slick presentations. however, the ghost workers who train the software humans are involved in every step of the process. when you're using anything online. what we're sold, as is miracle of automation behind your screen,

it's available workforce that feeds algorithms for next to nothing. on a very good day, i can do $5.00 now. a really bad day. i can do 10 since he's workers are invisible by design. it's about labor costs, but it's also about creating layers of lesson responsibility between those who solicit this kind of work and need it. and those who do it. a digital smart city is a city that's using technology to make people's life easier to happier. collecting a lot of data to try to improve the way things are in theory, these big organizations that are amalgamating and pulling all that data together. they're not looking at you as an individual, necessarily lose data being collected. so much data that there's a real possibility of privacy violation, and that's something most of us wouldn't want. the world's transparency. we must

live with permanent surveillance. when we think of war and the warrior who fights it, we have this image and our mind of man in uniform. um and uniform means they're fighting as part of the military service nation, the cause that they fight for their force, political patriotism. and yet, when you look at the wars of the 21st century, they don't match those assumptions anymore. now, we have out sourced a lot of our warfare to private military companies in the background of this changing nature of war and who fights it. that dates back to the very start of the private military industry itself.

until the early ninety's, the for the security industry is adult murky industry. i out, right, let me try to bring you down governments for the cash. mm. it up comes 1st proper, private military company. it was exactly that. it was a private company who could field a full all the time. they had to go incredibly, highly trained and have moved into private property. the functions were corporate videos, literally saying in your executive outcomes, you

a legend in this business they formed in south africa as apartheid. and in they had a background in some of the special police forces during apartheid. elite units had death squads. some of the most controversial units in terms of their human rights records. no one dan, because they work for oil companies. they work for governments like angola and certainly own. and this became controversial and internationally, stopped it and said that you can't hire executive outcomes. so another company called sand line international out of london sort of ended up taking on some of e o 's contracts. sandlon a is a company that provides military consultants. his house is full governments. all

large corporations are. ready at the time, the idea was to get very posh english officers on top of these private military companies. and tim spicer was an officer in the military british military. i got out and was asked to come help with a company called san line. more executive outcomes role going to be in this we think they're extremely good. they're extremely professional in a very good track record. there are no. ready skeletons in the cupboard as well. i mean we think that it would bring the human rights record and we would use them for. ready the hires the same people to south africa, but now they're legitimate because they are working under a contract to spices arrival. gave an almost instant singles of respectability towards a pre be a message world. i mean,

i didn't personally have any just computer where most me i just take like the image that it comes up in most people's mind. if i tell him it tims by 1000 communion, for newspaper dashing and charming public school educated gods officer. and that really wasn't matching the feature in the industry before then it changed the agenda, the global agenda. and what problem that company was i, jim spicer, was considered a respectable hand of a mercenary organization. but 1st, as business affairs didn't go too well. he was dogged by failure me, for example, you get a phone call from a fellow indian with a type passport who was under house arrest for financial scandal. and he contacted tim spicer and wanted him to restore the president of cheryl

was the president sherylin was back in power. this guy would then get his contracts for diamonds and to be able to make money. but it didn't work out that way. the company line run by camp spicer, fullborne army colonel, instigated by customs and excise, and he's accused of smuggling weapons illegally. when a private firm gets involved in foreign politics for the benefit of a criminal, you have to stop and ask, okay, this really happened or is this fictitious? james bond type story, but it was a true story. these things tend to happen often times that he always somehow managed to get boys to either respond in talking to guinea fan line or arrested at the airport. spicer is facing firearms charges linked to

his bid to provide south african trade most recently to put down a local result they were thrown out of the country, but it was, it seems like most ways understood. the media is a risk, but can be turned. he had to deal with the bad publicity from this operation, which previously would have been completely undercover. but i suppose spices either genius or stupidity was to make it public and say, officially, no, this was a contract. this is the contract i signed. the recently retired british lead a band of messengers is safely back in this country. so has is put him off his new career of ohio guns. i you going to continue with this new new business of yours sand line international. i think we've got a number of lessons to learn from this particular episode. i think that we will continue to try and develop our business as long as we can do it in a central way. sand

line eventually collapsed under the weight and by publicity was that a failure in the short term, you could say that was not a successful company in terms of delivering an enormous amount of money to reassure oceanside. conversely, it launched him spice on a career where he was able to found more then become more and more significant problem. major companies in the world. they just went 11 occurred everything changed.

mm hm. the contractor content, unfortunately went up astronomically at this hour, american and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations, to disarm iraq, ideologically, republicans, my party wanted every single public function to be scrutinized analyzed, evaluated, and if possible, privatized general shinseki, the head of the u. s. army at the time, testified to congress and said, if we're gonna do a rock, it's gonna take several $100000.00 us troops and very quickly the rest of the bush administration react negatively. and he's absurd, that's crazy. it's not going to require those amount of troops, and they actually essentially drummed him out of the military. it turned out he was right. we did deploy several 100000 forces. it was just through private military.

ah, so in the early days of iraq, it wasn't gold rush. you had companies coming out of nowhere, including black water. it was really like a cowboy while long last when nobody at any control. anybody doing anything with firearms in this country could say their private military company was an atm from these companies? well, the basic idea of a contractor versus recruiting training and supporting military bets is that there was room hiring a prostate or getting married. so instead of a soldier who has an ex cost of a, you're now paying a contractor in a times $10.00. what has happened is that america has basically married

a prostitute and has been active. paying them for a very long period is almost power to do. what is was good example if you invite a country to connect, they've been appeal, thought none of your iraq and left her to run a very low ship from using private military contractors for understandable to ash to using private military contractors. wholesale in my view, took place without much debate, and all everybody loved in contractors offer some gray area benefits to politicians and everybody's concern. like do we

have a 1000 boots the ground? nobody ever asks how many contractors there? we don't really count boots on the ground with the u. s. military. i wanted to put 1000 books in the ground and there's 4000 contractors. it's a way of, you know, having for some 5000, but without political risk, with what they're shooting at. you make a you yeah, let's go with bank guy. did you get a score to shoot part of it? my son grew up in ricocheted in his car. but i

write with the private security companies had the sensitivity of the vamp bullshit civilians would often if not always get caught in the crossfire with what governments have always done because they would do 2 things. once you fight and you win hearts and minds, private industry company didn't do much company on the ground opening fight. they were very, very noticeable. they would play rock music, but you know, this was not, there was no subtlety. this was not a, even the military were more discreet than the prob, security companies. so they were, it was, they were very, very public slap in the face for the average iraqi on

a daily basis with a real problem for the military. so we fill the contractor presence in iraq in particular, but afghan too was becoming contrary to what the mission was for the armed forces. therefore, their presence was more dangerous than it was help. ah ah, the lose

it's an open secret. the private military companies have been playing a role in om, complex world wide. u. s. government doesn't track the number of contractors and uses in places iraq or afghanistan, the united states army and the military in general. so reliance on the private sector, i would call that dependency, but we don't know who's the on the ground presence of these companies overseas. we just don't out west and private military companies can in their turn, use so called sub contractors from countries with trouble pass. the chances are quite good that they had also been charles diligence. i says i was a j. as a,

as in my job, professional job is with the whole going full court is when, if i said that looked with no flaw, minimum own law, which i mean to be merciless killing machines. now they fight and die in other people's was people carol lot. when a dead soldier or dead moraine shows up in this country, and then we start asking ourselves, why did they die? water? what were they fighting for? nobody bothers asked about the contractors in the mediterranean, is the world's most over fish. see unsustainable exploitation of its fish? dogs, which maureen biodiversity under great thread, his medicine, your selection, again, the quote are smith sure you understand this is because our system, i'm not going from going to pull the cookie careful from with his on

a piece tech and want to put our lives despite the eas promises to end over fishing by 2020. the situation is changing too slowly. well, i'm very disappointed with addition to that, they've basically not somebody in the also do not take in the midst of the fishes. the only interest of the fisheries will be on the face of the only ones in danger. the fisherman also at risk of losing a lot of them before they get it on at the bottom of the bubble, thought, i guess it might be a while. back to finance or for one job today we're all about money laundering person to 3 different oh good. this is

a good start. well, we have our 3 bags all set up here. maybe something in europe, something in america, something overseas. in the cayman islands, you never know all these banks are complicit in their property. we just have to give them a call and say, hey, i'm ready to do some serious my laundry. ok, let's see how we did. well, we've got, oh, we've got a nice luxury watch for max and for stacy. oh, beautiful jewelry. and how about ha ha luxury on my bill again for mag, you know, it, money laundering is higher, the legal don't be a record o . in october 1962 in a period known as the cuban missile crisis united states. and then the soviet union were on the brink of war fast for to february 2022. and the americans and russians find themselves in a similarly perilous situation. this time on the russian ukrainian border will
