the stance, but again very, very significant considering this is also of 12 years that of focused on a foreign minister has come down to india based, of course, on the, the su umbrella. and when you look at the of the, the seals, the shown guy, cooperation organization, it constitutes nearly 40 percent of the total was all population. also around 30 percent of the total of global g d b. also that's how follow. so the gulf is so any and every leaving that is happening here in go are right behind me of causing sort of golf is going to be really, really important. today, of course is the 4 biological as i pointed out. so, but tomorrow is going to be the mean, not the mean d, where all the visa, foreign ministers from a different countries will be meeting each other of holes. they're also going to be signing on a document which will have 15 old decisions on that. and all of this,

of course, in the run up to all the fine, the left field summit which will take please me, the are again it in the i remember india is the su chavez, c r. and in, in july, in video, when the su final summit happens, of course the heads of states. so all of these each countries are expected to come from all on any of those stories. do checkouts all websites, all the com monies be to scotts and i'll be back again. but another one down of all the latest in around about 30 minutes is fine. thanks for watching the

the wrong one old. just don't you have to safe house. the kind of thing and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves boils, the parts we choose to look for common ground, the the hello, i'm a know a chan. you are tuned into modus operandi. it's no secret that the us is the number one manufacturer and supplier of arms all around the world. hasn't gone contracts spring and billions of dollars annually to continue brutal wars by allied nations. nobody that's an eye at these facts. but when the proliferation of these arms seeping to the black market, us calls that a problem. this week we'll examine the lords of war and black market arms. all

right, let's get into the m o the . what's the difference between the pentagon and a black market arms traffic? are some lights, say nothing really? given the end result is the same death and destruction. but they'll tell you that the former is done legally and on the books that they are accounted for. and those arms are for noble wars or causes maybe just protection or deterrence. in fact, a more accurate comparison might be the c i a versus arms dealers. like say convicted and now freed dealer victor boat. because when you really think about it, given the c, i as long as sorted, ugly history of farming and surgeons within the countries. the us deans anatomy,

america's top spike agency, is responsible for the proliferation of more off the books transfers of arms around the world than any one traffic or. let's be clear about something. i am not promoting illegal arms trafficking in any way, shape or form. but we can't pretend the black market arms dealers or mafias or crime syndicates are the source of these arms. that dubious title belongs to the us military industrial complex, who break in hundreds of billions of dollars, year after year, and a foreign policy of aggression then benefits from continuing to r any and all conflicts around the world. now to discuss this complex web of arms trafficking will bring in someone who has seen just how all this stuff works. first hand dr. field, jerome e is a retired c, a case officer and executive director of the council for the national interest. so thank you for joining us. so 1st, according to

a 2017 report by rand europe concerning how small arms proliferate into the u, it says the u. s. appears to be the most common source country for arms that are for sale on the dark web. they say 60 percent of fire arms listings are associated with products that originated out of the us. are we to assume that the sales are by individual sellers or is there perhaps a criminal enterprise associated with some of these, such as like the mob or mafia is organized crime, things like that? well, i would say it's probably a combination of both. it's very easy to buy weapons in the united states in most states here in virginia, for example, if i wanted to go buy a military style, so called assault rifle, i could walk into town right now, and within 30 minutes have it. um yeah,

these weapons of course can be to our military use. they can be taken and modified to fire or full automatic a by any goldsmith and they are readily available. there are more weapons of this type in the united states alone. then there are americans. so you can see we're talking about $300.00 plus 1000000 of these weapons floating around, and there are certainly organising is terrible criminal. and that serve other purposes, political purposes, perhaps in some cases that have easy access to these weapons. and if you're talking about getting that men to your there are a lot of ways to get things in new york. the most of the eastern european borders are somewhat porous. and also europe is surrounded by a lot of water. if you can get a 1000000 and a half immigrants in smuggle into europe, you can certainly get

a webpage and into europe too. and that's what we're seeing. and for obvious reasons, it's difficult to get concrete numbers on just how much money is brought through black market arm sales or the dark web. the latter is estimated to generate around a $100000.00 a month and just fire arms sales. but compared to the d o d sales numbers that are reported by the state department, those numbers are peanuts according to the state department, for military sales or approximately $55000000000.00 annually. along with the direct commercial sales under the bureau of political, military affairs, the directorate of defense trade controls, they approve approximately a $115000000000.00 a year in direct sales to for an allies and partners. and we're talking heavy military hardware like patriot missile batteries, javelin r, p g 's and so forth. now is the net result is the same. death and destruction.

what's the difference between conflicts around the world being armed by traffickers or the d o d, a? well, actually they're, they're a lot of subtle differences show we say the deal with the weapons. once, interestingly enough, those numbers that you just provided. these are the known sales. these are sales that are approved by the us government. and uh, basically uh or done by the us government. and once these weapons are in the hands of the ukrainian or the junction, uh, or any combination of, of the people these weapons could go anywhere. and uh, this is the real danger that i think they were missing here is that there are a lot of criminal sales or non ethical sales. now, ethical, i would describe as sales that are sold worth and sold to

a foreign country for their own defense, that sort of thing, or at least as to justification. but the fact is, there are many other possibilities in terms of weapons being you know, sent to places like of pakistan where they are distributed in central asia. i think of all of the weapons that walk up in the hands of the libyan government. that which we then or through and these weapons wanda, all over africa and are still making trouble in africa. and look in syria, syria, we have a militia groups that are, are alive with the us, started given access to these weapons. and i'm sure that this does not appear in any official report that your i would be allowed to read. and, and these weapons basically wind up in various places including in turkey, which is and they go out. so there's a, there's a, another statement, and these numbers, i think the numbers that actually relate to weapons,

dispersions, dispersed souls around the world to various groups, to various countries, to various individuals is much, much bigger than that. these numbers would suggest i don't. what about the role of the c i a in army various groups around the world, for example, in latin america during the 1980s. certainly some of those arms proliferated beyond the groups that the us initially armed or intended or more recently under obama. the botched fast and furious scheme could any of these ca, issued arms have contributed to armed conflicts we're seeing today? oh, i think there's no question of that. obviously you can go back as far as the, the us attempt to get rushing out of as cabbage, them in which a number of terrorist groups, including all kind of were on trade and further equipped these weapons. some of them are still floating around this, this produces a whole chain of, of,

of disasters. i had up in my own personal experience when i was just on bull. i was involved in a wrong contra. i don't know if you remember that, but it was a scheme to sell weapons to the radians. this is post revolutionary, right. and the money coming from this was the, it was like hitting money was be, which was going to be kicked back to support the countries in the crop. and this was illegal to sell the weapons to uranium. and it was a legal to be doing this with the cartridge, but we were doing it anyway. now i was a c r c. i hate officer on the ground, arranging for the flights that were going back and forth with the weapons in the money. and the are ready and leaders and uh, this was all done under orders for the national security council at that time. so a lot of the stuff that uh, is, is credited to the c, i assure the c i,

it has the resources to do these things. but they do these things under orders of the national security council, which is indeed the right arm of the president. right. phil, draw the a stay with us more of a fill in just the 2nd coming up next finders keepers what happens when the us abandons a war effort and leaves behind billions of dollars in military hardware and weapons . we'll discuss it when we return. sit tight. the m o will be right back. the what truly motivates nato isn't strategic interested in jail, political positioning, or is it id ology in a pathological hatred of russia?

i will let the viewers decide, but one thing is certain. the alliance has split its very existence on the line. you can take that to the bank, the the every spring and summer, the melting optics move reveals abandoned machinery, millions of rusty barrels,

and the detritus left by human expansion into this most inaccessible of territories . yes, i used to move, so take off my both of us to put somebody from your doors at the post to be generally an issue to us from clean optic travel to highest island home to the biggest opponent station on the front of joseph land archipelago sierra he asked me for, i was in the bush or more you have to do should. so it means if you have, when you feel when we see lots of money and then put some of the, some will stay on. the old stuff was so much you feel like you are a marriage from a serial z means membership when you to i've got the serial no boys the place to join me instead of the optic pioneers main objective was to explore and comcast of these harsh lands they had no time to think about waste management now and, and then i guess they could remain for centuries. that's my of my choice of so it's pretty at the question system is the most upon your scope of the team about this

deal to issue the mortgage to purchase one other way, not to be around to see what's going on, what was around there. so some of this, so please stay with me. your last name was needed. read that list and when we used to live, imagine we have some more or someone moses, we would show new people to the the

a hi. i'm receptive and i'm here to plan with you whatever you do. do not watch my new show. seriously. why watch something that's so different. little opinions that he won't get anywhere else. welcome to please do the have the state department, the c i a weapons, bankers, multi 1000000000 dollar corporations. choose your facts for you. go ahead, change and whatever you do. don't want my show stay main street because i'm probably going to make you comfortable. my show is called stretching time, but again, it's not. we don't want to watch it because it might just change the way inside the welcome back to the m. o i, manila chan filled urology, a retired c i a case officer has gracious list, graciously stuck around to talk more about the proliferation of us arms around the

world. so felt let's examine that hasty departure by the us military from afghanistan. we had an entire base, their complete with chin, not helicopters, m raps, transport vehicles, another very expensive, valuable military hardware. those are all now in the hands of the taliban, who the us state department labels a tara group. now in similar instances when the us leaves a conflict, so in, or they say ends a war or military equipment, just sort of the spoils of war and it's finders keepers what happens with all of that stuff. well, uh precisely is in the case of, of can understand if there is no kind of, uh, withdrawal that to leisure lee and save the equipment. it's just been a bad eye and the case worker, i understand they knew this was coming and they still didn't take steps to remove

a lot of the equipment because they felt, hey, it was more expensive to remove it that believe it. and that is a kind of stupid judgment, but you know, that's what the disadvantaged ration was into and they were confused about what was happening and where i would go. and so now the taliban have the weapons and there are weapons probably all over the place that are going to, well we will regard as terrorist or some verse of groups and the sources of discharge with a weapon that could be accurate. because a lot of the weapons were in the hands of the half scant army which was believed to be under control and monitored and so on and so forth. but that was a bit of affection. and so a lot of these, the soldiers uh, when did you and i did say celeste, they just kind of dropped their weapons where they were and they went home. so i would assume a lot of these weapons have already gotten into the hands of people who we would prefer not to have the switch. so it's a, it's, it's kind of

a problem with us foreign policy in general that they can't, the, can't seem to figure out what's coming up next week. and this is a manifestation of indeed war lords, proliferate. now, presently the u. s. has been arming ukraine to continue what many call a proxy war with russia to a, to well, north of a $100000000000.00 artillery shells, guns, mid range, missiles, air defense systems, and so on. this is all in the 1st year of conflict. now to contrast the u. s. spent around $83000000000.00 to train an arm the now failed asked and forces between the year 2001 till the fall of cobble in 2021. we had an inner poll your oregon stock said this to the guardian regarding the massive amount of arms now going into

ukraine. he said, quote, we can expect an influx of weapons in europe and beyond. we should be alarmed and we have to expect these weapons to be traffic not only to neighboring countries but to other continents. ringback make of his remarks a well, it says interesting comment and i would refer you to the recent development center in ukraine where we had the resignation of a senior spokesman of the landscape government. and we also had that uh, unfortunate uh helicopter crash. uh, there are sources that are saying right now that these people involved in this were all connected with stealing the weapons coming in and proliferating. so this is going on already turning this into cache. and this suspicion is that one of them,

or some of them went too far, and there is a bit of a tit for tat going on in terms of the people who are involved with this process. so i think that's an interesting theory. and there is some evidence for it. and um, also, you know, we're talking about a ton of money either in, in the credits in cash and that sort of thing. and also with the weapons which are fully functionable, you could sell them anywhere. you could get a good price for them anywhere. and, you know, this is the kind of thing that i, i believe the comment that you're quoting girl is saying, look, these weapons are going to, a lot of that, we're going to just cut loose. and once they're loose, the borders and used to your permeable, and uh, once you get them out of your up, there are all kinds of people in asia, africa, latin america, quite willing to meet you halfway. do well, take them off your hands. the problem is that once you sell a weapon or give

a weapon or give it to a government or you give it to a group or you give it to an organization. so many different, this is, this is a used to joke about how oil and stuff like that are, are fungible commodities, well weapons refundable quantities to they have serial numbers and it's pretty obvious where they're made. but that doesn't mean that you know where that weapon isn't any point or who is using it. once it's out of your hands, it's a, it is free to go. weapons are fungible commodities, absolutely. now, according to slippery be stock home international peace research institute in 2020, they said the official global arms sales weren't valued, at least at a $112000000000.00 in that year alone. data for many places like this, including official us numbers, it would appear. the us is responsible for arming much of the world. some uh, 40 percent of global arms sales comes from the d. o. d and distance 2nd place for

russia coming in at about 27 percent of all the sales. is it then fair to say that the us is responsible for much of the bloodshed around the world, but the official sales also end up in black market trafficking. the yeah, absolutely. i don't think there's a question about it. as i say you could sell the, you can sell a 1000 machine guns to a very reputable buyer represented a government or something like that. but next week, you don't know where those weapons are going to be. and, and, and the fact is the united states has, by far the biggest military equipment industry or military industrial complex is generally referred to, which produces all of this stuff. so it's no surprise that most of the weapons that are floating around in the world are american made. and i would, i would also add to the stock home the suggestion of, of,

of the amount of money that is involved in this. i would say you should double that if you were to take it to the account, the black market, you might even wanna triple and last fil, is there anything else you think our international viewers should know about the proliferation of arms, perhaps in their own country. as well, i think the, the issue becomes one of the uh, let's not let the people know what we're doing. and i think that's a general rule of what goes on every every um, major western european country has an honest industry. and the purpose of an ours industry is to show up it's and in those countries, if you're a citizen of, of italy or france or germany or britain, you cannot bioweapon. so all of this stuff is basically made to supply your

own military and your own military. but on the other hand, the rest of this stuff is got to be sold to make this a commercially viable. so you have a new built hypocrisy, your input contradiction, right? here, which is the fact that you know, uh, citizens, i'm sure if we're not allowed to have weapons, but these weapons are being produced by other countries to be sold to other people elsewhere. who can boys if you use? so this is a bit ridiculous. dr. phil geraldo retired c r, a case officer and executive director of the council for the national interest. thank you so much for sharing your insights. so as you can see, whether it's officials from government selling the arms or individual traffickers, there is a very fine line that separates the 2. but when your number one export is weapons of mass destruction,

you become the raining lords of war. or that's going to do it for this week's episode of modus operandi the show that dig deep into foreign policy. i'm your host manila. chad. thank you for tuning and we'll see you again next week to figure out the m. o. the 818. 34 prance invaded algeria and straight away the french started in, habiting it to strengthen their position. the column is known as the new wires to the best land. from day one, the local population was put into an unequal position and was briefly exploited.

this caused them as discontent. the people of l g area began their long term bite for independence. in 1954, the banner of freedom was raised by the national liberation front. a guerrilla war against the occupants broke out. the french tried to suppress, to rebuild you and using cruel measures. whole villages were wiped out acts of georgia and executions of civil people, including pregnant women, children, and old people took place more than 2000000 people were born into concentration camps. however, these punitive measures didn't help. cl, jerry and patriot managed to induce france this guard seize negotiations in 1962 heavy and the guards were signed footing l. jerry on the bass towards the independence. but this was achieved at a colossal price. algeria by rights, is considered to be a country of martyrs. according to the calculations of historians,

the french colonists are responsible for the depths of one and a half 1000000 algerians. the, [000:00:00;00] the solutions may be able to turn

a blind eye to atrocities in other countries. united states of america is different wherever people long to be free. they will find a friend in the united states, the, to the other, the automated about, 80 volts in a very, very easy to sort of city and teach all the look at me for the in service of each skid 18 color revolutions is one among several means to reach the goal of conquering foreign lands and bringing them onto the helm of us, the western economic interest people been cited. i do not see this when i go by the democrats, the nutrient portal acted so no, we must say little this a fight with them. and we can see the final goal of these theme or of allusions to

ensure that there are no independent players in the world anymore on the purchase as a washington call today. so the attack on the presidential office in moscow thing too, is following orders from overseas. the multi polar system, same states adjoining cult between versus a foreign minister. and these indian and chinese council paused expressed as a meeting all the shanghai corporation organization. had a lot of summit in july and more than $1000.00 public citizens are held behind boss without charge of old trials. we report on the reality of these ready detention system on speak to a lawyer defending the president. this is among the psychological terms because
