where i met the british company and the people that work for them. but then also discovered that in the same building for the ministry, the u. s. military is a terrifying day that they were more minute u. s. military intelligence. and um, building one was where the general per exit from. so we were filed the list of things going on and it kind of threw a few thoughts into my head to buy floor we actually do most and well is one of the very few who can to expose how the world's attitudes towards what's happening in the middle east were shaped under strength, us political and military control. the guys i worked with me and my small team, the intelligence officers, and we all kind of a mountain nation and work together. and then it would go from us after they've been signed off. what we've done, it would go to whoever was the general on site at time and go to him and then it would go directly to change. and then once you get, you know, as you're probably aware when she get to the general, there aren't many people higher than that. um, so just don't see. i see me with cecilia. i never went to the white house. i was told. so it's a
