9:04 am
u. s. embassies. last year. this, as the new york times earlier claimed, the suspect was directed by russian intelligence. let's get some more on this without a contributor, rachel marston, a 74 year old spanish man who appeared in a madrid court on thursday is now formally being probed on charges of terrorism and aggravated terrorism. accused of sending explosive parcels to the ukrainian and u. s. embassies and spain to spanish prime minister pedro sanchez, his office to the spanish defense ministry to an air force base and also to a weapons manufacturer. this is all in november and december of last year. now the judge ordered him detained on fear that, ah, pompei o, gonzalez pasquale, could flee to russia. so what ties to russia did the judge site to support that suspicion of the fact that he was a user of russia's facebook likes, social media site called the k, and the swiss encrypted email service proton. now,
9:05 am
just absolutely damning evidence of a sure fire flight risk to russia. looks with email platforms aren't like swiss banks. it's not like people stock their e mails there because they're getting ready to flee the country. and v k is actually kind of where a lot of westerners go now when they're fed up with facebook. censorship may be investigators also found that is other ties to russia include the fact that he likes to play chess and watches hockey on tv. the judge alleged that the suspect intended to alter the public peace and to hinder spanish and u. s. support for ukraine. there was an objective to seriously disturb public order by transmitting the message to we're facing actions carried out by people linked to russia as a repression of the interests of spain and the united states. as a consequence of support for ukraine in the face of the russian occupation,
9:06 am
such as forcing the public powers of our country to refrain from the support shown in favor of ukraine in the face of russian aggression. okay, so what's the corroborating evidence to back up this presumed motive of allegedly wanting to deter support for ukraine? according to the judge? well, the suspects browser history, his internet history included visits to russian link new sites, including our t. sputnik news. and also, while the spanish language, digital newspaper, on weapons case closed. right. another thing that came out in the hearing is that authorities alleged that this guy acted alone. someone might want to tell the new york times, which already went to print last week with the headline, suggesting that russian agents are directing right wingers to send the mail bombs in spain. wow, cool story, bro. the russian embassy in spain basically rolled its eyes in response. the main
9:07 am
summary of the fabricated article. russian agents suspected of directing far right group to mail bombs in spain from the u. s. newspaper. the new york times is american in european officials believe that the russian military intelligence service is culpable. the energy applied by the press to disseminate this is striking, even though does not contain a single piece of evidence. regardless of what the facts actually are, in this particular case, apparently, there isn't too much of an interest in waiting around for them to make an appearance, a trial before deciding that whatever happened here and whatever the truth really is. rushes nonetheless to blame. private u. s. military group, the most sod group as a denied allegations are being directly involved in fighting against russian forces . companies. director made those comments in an exclusive interview with off he is going underground not by anyone's consent, any common consent to the terms of carrying weapons. we're not finding,
9:08 am
we are training the all and we're actually waiting and seating civilians that you are recorded. the saying you crane is a corrupt job society. ukraine is in violation of a convention. probably so knock in london, probably sholtes in berlin. they're all saying no, with any hundreds of billions of dollars that it was the car, it was taken out of context. my voice and i watched it. i watch the interview on it was it was produced by a guy named max blumenthal. yes, i'm good. let me, let me get points that i that i said, yes. specifically, ukraine, what i all i said was saying, yes, ukraine has in the past had a, had a problem with corruption. that is undeniable. all right. and so me, prisoners of all is a violation of the geneva convention. my point is that if you are going to have the moral high ground and you're going to say, and i'm here, listen, i voted my feet the my lines. so you challenge anyone to say, you know, support you crime, a convention i, every day i just, every,
9:09 am
we're going to the end i should just, i was actually watching the video. you, your guys put up my fluids, all editor grays and said whether it was a whiskey talking randy milburn to learn the video i posted provides a clear and accurate depiction of his comments on the corruption of the great society, sick leadership and the propensity of its military to commit and videotape battlefield atrocities for its own sake. mill the day chasing the ukraine. a gravy train and get back on the wagon. i don't know. i mean, i'm like, oh yeah, you're reading from you know, blacksmith. so of course i don't agree from little background, right? i mean, he is a, it is a man. all right. so the point is, why did he also that video? why did he, what i say with contest? ah, yeah, i stand behind a, you know, i love, i love you. trainees. i'm here. i'm to risky. my life. you can keep trying maximum . it's all i me he's but i've, i've so didn't with my see no, no one on them so that ukrainians have no problem with that video. because because
9:10 am
they know that the nature of russian disinformation and that it and, and so, you know, but the point is, you don't support a side by simply spouting propaganda. you've got to be honest, i'm saying with united states, you just talk to me about what i write in my book where i criticize my own administration, my country's administration. this is the healthy aspect of the marketing. all right, ukraine is that a model of the united states system are seeing that. so if you just as a bit of context of the video, the andrew melbourne was discussing with the host of going on the ground was actually a part of his recent interview on the team house podcast, where he shared his experience of working in new crane the mozart group found a denounced corruption in key f and said he is actually quote, not a fan of ukraine. it's a corrupt of society. the let you know. so i'm not, i'm not a big fan of ukraine. it's not about ukraine. we're not like,
9:11 am
i have to have, you know, you ukraine flank tied to my bag, but i'm not. oh my god, ukraine. so awesome. no. because it's i understand that funny people running ukraine, the cranium in violation of the hey convention. they're filming of a number of things that they're doing with p. o w's is fine, they, they, laura don, laura bomb complex. so here's our independent journalist, max blumenthal, who reposed to the previous video on twitter. he spoke about the mozart group director and the lattice claims that has comments with taken out of context. i don't know what could have been manipulated or taken out of context there. and as i said, i included a link to the full discussion which includes many more unguarded and incriminating comments that andy milburn made under the obvious,
9:12 am
clear influence of the true serum known as whiskey and retired colonel andy milburn was speaking to an american channel. and his comments or publicized on twitter by an american journalist, the person you see right here. and it was, they were viewed by a 1000000 people, mostly people in the west, outside russia, and scrutinized by them. and those comments were conveyed accurately, clearly, and without manipulation or distortion. what's more, i linked to the complete conversation he had with 2 american interviewers. so for him to call it russian propaganda must mean, maybe he's referring to a brand of whiskey called russian propaganda. although i think he was getting intoxicated off buffalo trace and left roy act the reason andy milburn is so reluctant to acknowledge that he said what he in fact did. and what i
9:13 am
publicized before a twitter audience in a video that now has close to 1000000 views, is because it affects his paycheck. he is relying on the ukranian state and the ukranian military to provide him with lucrative contracts. and when they hear him say that for him, it's not about ukraine because this is a sick society that he doesn't ru truly believe in ukraine, that he thinks that its soldiers are actually war criminals. they will no longer want to work with him. and so this is costing andy milburn business and war is a business for andy milburn and many other people in ukraine. well, the mozart group itself is a private military company that says that trains ukrainian soldiers on to rescues civilians. it's members say they haven't been involved in actual fighting on the front line. however, john las max blumenthal again says the mozart group is made up of mercenaries and they are incredibly wide spread. the problem here for andy milburn is that he
9:14 am
offended his so called ukrainian partners, the people that he needs to justify his contracts and his paycheck. and that is why the mozart group of andy milburn pumped out a false hood late in absurd, almost insane twitter thread in ukrainian attacking me as a rush at asset. i consider it unhealthy for the mozart group, which consists of armed mercenaries, including criminal class dogs who are recruited from the most violent elements of societies around the world, from israel to ukraine. to be pumping out lies about me on their twitter page in ukrainian for ukrainian audience, any melbourne's mozart group falsely accuse me of producing a deep fake video. when i conveyed his comments clearly with no manipulation,
9:15 am
i strongly suggest that andy milburn stop chasing the grazing the gravy train of ukraine aid and get back on the wagon for his own sake and for the sake of humanity because enough people have died. so that mercenary sociopath, like andy milburn, can make a profit it's good to have your company today. it has been believe it on all 20 years since the us invasion of iraq. and here at auto, we are beginning on special coverage throughout the coming months will examine the devastation and ultimately the destabilization. of course, all across the middle east. 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. who's
9:16 am
with with was january 2003 us president george w bush outlined the invasion of iraq and his state of the union address. he called the iraqi leader, saddam hussein, a brutal dictator with ties to tara, posing a direct threat to the united states. he pledged to disarm hussein and bring freedom to the iraqi people. something america was already doing in afghanistan. dictator rack is not disarming to the contrary. he is deceiving
9:17 am
from intelligence sources. we know, for instance, that thousands of iraqi security personnel are at work hiding documents and materials from the un inspectors sanitizing inspection sites and monitoring the inspectors themselves. if saddam hussein does not fully disarm for the safety of our people and for the peace of the world, we will lead a coalition to disarm. and so later it turned out that saddam hussein did not have the so called weapons of mass destruction program, but washington was demanding that it did have back then. so it was march 2003. when the u. s. signed its allies, they launched operation. iraqi freedom coalition started a bombing campaign against the rocky government and the military installations, despite months of enormous. and she will protest, world wide u. s. forces did invade iraq from to wait just down there. just took a few days and then 3 weeks off of the invasion, baghdad fell of
9:18 am
a cia top weapons inspector in iraq. finally closed a w. m. d. investigation finding nothing in 2005. and that was 2 years after the entire invasion. now, the years of wool and the subsequent rise of terrorism have certainly taken a toll on iraq and it's people that were at least 190000 documented civilian deaths . some surveys put the number closer to 1000000, and many of those died from bombings, shelling, gun shots and suicide attacks. 9000000 people fled over, displaced the us led coalition last almost 5000 of its own soldiers. and the war scarred the lives of many iraqis, some of whom shed their stories with us. ah, has had a michelle at either. the streets were packed with barriers and tunnels. i remember it well. baghdad became a battlefield tanks and security forces of all kinds of been deployed there. wow,
9:19 am
i up now. so yeah, they are live, became a living. hell. because as a child, you're supposed to see beautiful things, but we so bullets tags and kennedy, tara, for humanity, children and society as a whole. there was nothing but war, ah, no food or most of the families. last members, and i lost one of my brothers because of the bomb banks. the americans were killing everything in front of them. i know that and it, one of my sons wanted to celebrate his success with his studies. so my wife gave him money to buy some junk food and eat out with his friends, and they sat to eat. they were an american bass. he was shot in the head by the americans. he died on the spot. oh, my friends were killed by the explosion at that time. my neighbor was killed by the americans where he was going to buy a kenneth could can guess. they thought he was a suicide bomber and kill him,
9:20 am
or love pay the crowd chrisala. these are very difficult memories for me. a mortar shall fell at the door of our house and killed one of my playmates. ah, no sucking and well doesn't want police to live in bagdad. our dreams were shattered. we wished to complete our studies that we could not because of the war and the killings in the streets. we had to leave our homes and go to not a place. i would like to know, but i do have up the top. we were in baghdad, who stayed at home and closed the windows, covered them with blankets. we were afraid of a chemical bombardment. we saw america come to us. they told us that a rock would become a paradise. they published news about how they were distributing food, but those were all false dreams. a. and only after i turned 14 years old was i
9:21 am
able to leave the house with my friends before that i couldn't even think about it . i was afraid something would happen outside, and even now i don't want to leave without telling my family where i'm going. mm . let go. what do you want? what do you remember my 1st day at the kindergarten? the thursday i tell a mattress cold, the textbooks shall picture the summer full my regime, but they took them away. they gave us new different books. i'll never forget the coal sop of a bullet. the sound of an explosion, even just a smoke, an american soldier, a life full of blood. already showing jo hellboy, the americans arrested my father. he did not belong to any party. he was working at the market. he was kept in prison until 2018. i didn't have a chance to know my father after he was released, his health deteriorated, but took him to germany for treatment. but up to 4 surgeries,
9:22 am
he died. ah, ah little you may say to me your childhood was stolen and i didn't have a child food. i spend in a month war and terrorist organizations, such as anti that among slaughter. americans bombing that kinda and kinda bowman americans. when we went to school, i used to walk along the wolf, so as not to be shot and killed. ah, the alaska fellows, though my cousin, my brother in law. unfortunately, the americans did not fulfill the promise you ho to rock because of your lost my loved ones. you hold has a lot of good areas in with the united states, you destroyed iraq, you, we can national sovereignty. and over 20 years,
9:23 am
you fail to manage a rock. i wouldn't probably gonna stop destroying stuff, control the national resources, let the rocky people leave in peace. all that suffering and ha break might have actually been avoided if washington had not rejected the negotiation conditions that were actually off foot by sort of hussein's government in january, 2003, that's pick up the story. now. going behind the scenes, ortiz, steve sweeney. 20 years ago us president george w bush tried to convince the world the iraqi leader, saddam hussein was hiding weapons of mass destruction, and that he had the evidence to prove it. the phrase w. m. d entered the lexical with politicians, repeating it over and over again, despite in fact, knowing that they didn't actually exist in iraq as their own intelligence services told them. while un weapons inspectors also said that they found no evidence of
9:24 am
w. m days. none of the doors turned up with ins of mass distraction and you've been surprised and then you were surprised that that was the case. do you believe the information that gave you was good information to be got? i got a good many, a tip sess, 2 sites to go to and we went to many of them but, and only in 3 of those cases the find anything and, and none of these cases was his weapons of mass destruction. so that shook maybe if i met, i'm all beating the drums of war. washington ignored loft hfs by iraq to negotiate for peace. the effort began in january of 2003 in which they contacted us. and through my intermediary friend, he was asked by the syrians to go to baghdad. get, i'm conditional terms from saddam hussein and the intelligence and the iraqi intelligence at the time. and he brought them out and sent
9:25 am
them to me as conditions that saddam hussein would agree to if the united states did not attack 2 of us, there were 6 conditions, 2 of which we could have implemented immediately to test the, the seriousness of their, of their proposals, one was we would be allowed to take to allow $5000.00 us troops to go into iraq and look for weapons of mass destruction. there was talk at high levels, all those terms because i turned them, turned them over to the secretaries office and, and was it basically the intermediary while they decided to launch the attack on and in march of 2003. so who were the architects of the invasion? well, it's a long list. first to politicians. a no, no, only president george w bush,
9:26 am
the day before the 2003 state of the union address. u. s. secretary of state colin powell said the options were on the table including military intervention. one rack is in material breach to this is their last chance there have to be serious consequences and those serious consequences. matthews of force. and you've heard me say that repeatedly, repeatedly. i've also said that if the international community to the un when the time comes, does not wish to use force, the united states reserves its right as a sovereign nation to make a judgment within this. this clear record of violation to use force alongside like minded nations. who might wish to be part of such a coalition. back in 2002 us vice president dick cheney had his eyes on regime change in iraq. with our health a liberated iraq can be a great nation once again. iraq as rich a natural resources and human talent and has unlimited potential for a peaceful,
9:27 am
prosperous future. our goal would be interacted as territorial integrity, a government that is democratic and pluralistic a nation where the human rights of every ethnic and religious group are recognized and protected in that troubled land. all who seek justice and dignity and the chance to live their own lives can know they have a friend and ally in the united states of america. then of course came the media, which was crucial during efforts to build public support for wool. pushing the narrative on saddam and wm days. in september 2002, the york times america's newspaper of record went big on a sensational story. climbing a rock was trying to get its hands on nuclear weapons. more than a decade after saddam hussein agreed to give up weapons of mass destruction. iraq has stuffed up its quest for nuclear weapons and has embarked on a worldwide hunt for materials to make an atomic bomb,
9:28 am
but counter to all good journalistic practice. the only source was an anonymous one . the whole story could be made up. and guess what? there was drums beating there and, and there were, we had the agency over there. ca saying there's debbie m d. i personally believe to this day basically set up george bush for failure. knowing that there was no w m d, they knew it, they knew it, and they had one source that proved later to be on reliable. we presented all the information that we had, all the and, and, and, and with the hope that we could prevent a war. again, not knowing at that time, that there were alteri or motives. so it was just a matter of time before the u. s. unleashed it's shocking or bombing campaign. while across the pond, british prime minister, tony blair, also sold
9:29 am
a case for war on a lie, the now infamous doughty dossier which claim sam's non existent, w. m. days could attack the country in 45 minutes. the intelligence picture they paint is one accumulated over the last 4 years. it is extensive, detail and authoritative. it concludes that iraq has chemical and biological weapons. that sedan has continued to produce them. that he has existing and active military plans for the use of chemical and biological weapons which could be activated within 45 minutes, including against his own shia population. so who's to to benefit from it all the most? well, before the 2003 invasion, iraq's domestic oil industry was fully nationalized and close to western companies . to decades later, it is largely privatized and dominated by foreign firms, which have right in billions to understand the dynamics that are going on in the
9:30 am
middle east. and of course, it's about oil. it's very much about oil, and we can't, we can't really deny that. i'm saddened that it's politically inconvenient to acknowledge what every one knows. the rack war is largely about oil. people say we're not fighting for oil. of course, we are hardly surprising since oil companies spent big bucks getting form oil, mom bush and former halliburton, c o dick shady into office in the 1st place. private military contractors also saw their profit, saw and was proved to be a boom for the armed industry with lockheed martin thing a 47 percent increase in profits during the build up to the invasion, which continued throughout the occupation. 2 decades on an iraq remains in tatters with tech, tearing or militia running a mac and deep political instability with a war blamed for the rise of islamic state and other global g. how these groups.
