it was very common for the jews in germany to escape to austria in 1938. they went to austria to check the slovakia and from there they went to france and then the germans took over france in the bifurcated fashion. when it was said the world was divided into places where the jews are not allowed to be and not allowed to go, it was the reality. this was the dire challenge of the zionist. this is an important dichotomy. are we going to make an effort to restore jewish civil-rights or to rescue jews for national rights? either take a dollar to keep a jew where he is and help them get through the starvation and transfer. this is real politics. even the relief package is given to german jews those also went into the german economy. this is too complex to be black and white and too complex for me that is why it took me about five years to figure out. >> an expert on middle east affairs and author of confrontation winning the war against jihad come a would you think would be the impact lack of fine the economy if there was never a transfer agreement? >> guest: t

as the financing situation became more dire in europe then it went back to austria or europe we will then set up more transfer agreements to set up good use because you must remember there is a very important statement and i will quote a phrase that you know, . the world is divided into two places. those places where jews cannot live and those places where the jews cannot go. most people think that evian is just water but the evian is conference is what to do with hundreds of thousands of refugees were the door was shut and palestine was the only door open. they were not allowed into most nations of the world. the transfer agreements have the possibility to transfer hundreds of thousands of jews from romania most hungarian jews were wiped out in transports and organized by one of the members of the board of directors of ibm. imagine if these jews came by the boatload literally into jewish palestine. what happened? of the war. economics stopped and international trade became ill legal and the zionist were not able to continue transferring the money is out into an effective and meaning

this has nothing to do with austria on lot of early figures in the school came from austria. this is important because the austrian school is a school of economic thought, smallest in the world. it is also the oldest continuously existing school of thought in the world and is the fastest growing because disproportionately economists predicted will we are seeing at a time when the rest of the profession was completely blindsided. maybe 1/10% of professional economists saw this crisis coming. he was not including the austrian economists. his job is to pretend are no austrian economists. we need to highlight these people because they did see what is coming and that is what people are interested in them. the mainstream, so-called, has in my opinion completely disgraced itself during this crisis. not only did it fail to see it coming and not only did they tell us this is the most robust economy anyone has ever seen. they said that in 2007. the solutions they proposed are utterly juvenile and extremely crude and this is all they have to show for themselves. the mainstream of the ec

and i will never forget howard lieutenant colonel in charge of the austria desk says to the jewish five what are you here for all that type of stuff and friend of mayor says to him this is more our war than it is your war and that becomes sort of the whole premise for their mission and they go back behind the lines and literally change the course of the war like in the entire group to surrender as well as gather critical intelligence and blow up 26 trains. >> patrick a wonder if you could elaborate on the basement of the house. [laughter] >> well, i'm so glad you're here, bob. it is an honor and you are the son of the spymaster the was involved in all these missions that made all of this possible literally thousands of these documents came from that base not archive the we are talking about in bethesda and you're father was a great friend of mine. elbert, his nickname was the brain and after the war of the brain a squirrel away literally tens of thousands of declassified documents and had so many of the contacts that i needed and convinced chapel to interview me and everything else and

and other than a lot of the early figures in the school came from austria. this is important because right now the austrian school just a school of economic thought is the smallest probably in the world. it also happens to be the oldest continuously existing school of thought in the world and right now it is the fastest growing. why? because disproportionately economists of the austrian school predicted what we are seeing at a time the rest of the profession was completely blind sided. james galbraith estimates that may be one-tenth or one one-hundredth of a percent of professional economists solve this crisis coming. naturally he's not including the economists because that's the job of james galbraith to protect their are no austrian economists but we need to highlight these people because they saw what is coming and that is what people are interested in. meanwhile the mainstream so-called of the economics profession has in my opinion completely disgraced itself during the crisis had not only because it failed to see it coming and not only because they told

so he was carrying his bicycle and just barely missed the wires and that was the desire to get to austria or west germany. this is a picture and it shows just what is happening inside people's heads and with the berlin film festival at that time and as for me it is like levying for the west i have the picture of the men flying and i remember was an amazing experience because i went to west berlin i remember nablus dictation there was a soldier with a machine gun. but the corruption in prague if i wanted to get a passport the woman said are you going to west berlin? can you give me a yellow umbrella that you cannot get in eastern europe? then the second woman said i have little yorkie terrier i cannot find this scissors. so i was going to berlin for monday on the festival i was close to find a yellow umbrella and a scissors which would be hard and anyplace. [laughter] i did find a blood missed seeing my film so i go back to prague i open it is paper and they said i won the gold but i was not even there to win it. but it was one of the good things. because all of a sudden everybody knew we

the crime and go to countries they would be accepted, economic opportunity, united states, canada, austria and great britain. the veteran not, almost totally counterintuitive within seven years after world war ii these countries admitted thousands and thousands of the worst of hitler's henchmen. united states sacrificed 200,000 soldiers killed, not including the wounded to defeat hitler and save the world and then admitted thousands of his henchmen. one of the stories that helped us tremendously in terms of trying to convict the government to take legal action against them and i have to point* out there was not a single government in the world. every single country that ultimately took legal action against nazi war criminals had to be basically embarrassed. it is obvious they had to put these people on trial. none of them wanted to do anything and it took almost 30 years until a problem was discovered. once discovered trying to convince them to take legal action, in my case one thing that played an important role in the whole process was something i did when i started my career as a resear

>> we were there shooters in austria, and did what we had to do. >> what did that entail?>> well, first, my original job was to find out how the germans got referenced back to italy through the path. and it turns out our photographs showed that the bridges were all destroyed, but the germans had built portable bridges, and pull them out only when the train was to be going through. so are aerial photograph, null and void. >> the title of the book is "they dared return," from the title of these gentlemen started in europe and became to the niceties and went back, right? >> they were all german refugees that barely escaped not to germany, and they became -- they were american citizens and did the unbelievable, which is parachute back into not see lines. and fred was a german officer, impersonate a german officer behind not see lines. and gathered actionable intelligence that literally changed the course of the war. >> so you must have moments where you fear for your life. is there a particular story? there must've been moments that you fear for your life and person a german o

from india to indonesia, china to russia, and austria to japan, millions have moved from poverty to prosperity. china's rapid development helps drive is extraordinary and dynamic growth. in turn, china gained greatly from asia's growth. the united states welcomes a strong prosperous and successful china. as president obama stated, the relationship between the united states and china will shape the 21st century, which makes it as important as any bilateral relationship in the world. but this development occurs as new challenges emerge. our newest security issues cover a very wide range. these include economics, regional areas of tension, terrorism, proliferation, interview supplies, piracy, the effects of climate change, and disasters both man-made and natural. our increasingly interconnected world and, demand for resources require cooperation and integrated solutions. since the committee's last hearing on this topic, we have seen several significant developments, some positive, other troubling. many are documented in the secretary of defense's annual report on military powers of people's repub
