00:02:27.000 Welcome to the show podcast Today's date is February 10th, 2007.
00:02:39.000 It's a Saturday and I'm going to play a clip for you from Alex Jones, the Wednesday show this week.
00:02:49.000 He talks about how our military forces, their bringing in your tax dollars, bundles of money, which apparently is probably supposed to be going to the Iraqis.
00:03:01.000 I think we're talking billions here.
00:03:02.000 It's just getting passed out amongst our military personnel.
00:03:06.000 We're talking tons of cash all over there and big-ass plans, man.
00:03:13.000 It's crazy.
00:03:15.000 Well, here comes the click.
00:03:16.000 And then I have an article like this that is a microcosm, is a drop in the bucket in a Pacific Ocean of theft and corruption.
00:03:27.000 him.
00:03:28.000 Lawmakers, you have sent giant pallets of cash into Iraq.
00:03:35.000 The Federal Reserve sent over $4 billion in cash to Iraq in 2003 and early 2004.
00:03:40.000 Cash weighing 363 tons.
00:03:41.000 and early 2004, cash weighing 363 tons, loaded on pallets and flown on military aircraft funds.
00:03:54.000 Those were frozen Saddam assets, and the military said they kept, now get ready for this, this is Reuters, no record of its dispersal.
00:04:08.000 You want to talk about an orgy of corruption evil.
00:04:12.000 There are photos of the troops just grabbing huge 50-pound sub-bails for themselves, generals sitting on piles of it.
00:04:21.000 They just shipped it in, and this is the stuff on budget.
00:04:27.000 This is the stuff they admitted.
00:04:29.000 Let me say that again.
00:04:31.000 No record of its dispersal.
00:04:33.000 Three hundred and sixty-three tons.
00:04:38.000 Three hundred and sixty-three tons.
00:04:42.000 Or four billion in cash.
00:04:50.000 That wasn't even for the contractors.
00:04:51.000 There's the photos of the military and the generals standing by while they went into museums that had stuff that made the British Museum of Antiquities look like a joke.
00:05:06.000 We're talking about carvings and gold crowns and statues worth hundreds of millions apiece, gone.
00:05:15.000 And three years later, popping up on international market, being sold in New York, in Brussels, in London, and Paris.
00:05:25.000 I mean, they aren't even hiding it.
00:05:29.000 363 tons of $100 bills.
00:05:44.000 And then I have a friend who sells military legal flak vests that he buys from the manufacturer, At the gun show, he has the receipts, everything.
00:05:56.000 And a guy came in and said, I want to buy one from him.
00:06:00.000 And he got him out in the parking lot.
00:06:03.000 Somebody I know, not known for 12 years.
00:06:06.000 And the APD shows up and they arrest him for it.
00:06:10.000 And then the military DOD guy just disappears.
00:06:14.000 And isn't going to testify, but the charges are there.
00:06:18.000 For some $400 vest that he there had the receipts from the man and the DOD saying he bought stolen material.
00:06:26.000 See, it's a joke.
00:06:27.000 That's what they're out doing.
00:06:28.000 They're out...
00:06:30.000 Indicting one of the colonels in able danger who blew the whistle on government involvement and prior knowledge of 9-11 and so they start criminal charges against him for $63 of unauthorized phone calls on his government cell phone to his wife when in the protocol it's listed as you being able to call your wife on your cell phone.
00:06:52.000 Oh and they say some pencils and pens came up missing and paper totaling, what was it, $12.
00:07:01.000 That's how this corrupt system works.
00:07:03.000 Almost 4 trillion missing from the Pentagon.
00:07:10.000 363,000 tons of $100 bills delivered and gone.
00:07:21.000 The major police forces openly now are the mafia running murder for hire, hits, every major crime lab has been caught, framing everyone.
00:07:30.000 Giant drug cartels openly buying the private prisons where your young people who are dumb enough to use drugs work for 20 cents an hour.
00:07:41.000 I talked to the realtors out on the lake who are selling $1,000,000 to $15,000,000 homes, almost all of them, are state senators and legislators and bureaucrats and former mayors who, if you go look at their financials, because the real estate people see these, who five, ten years ago had nothing and suddenly just have tens of millions.
00:08:00.000 They're allowed to steal, do whatever they want, robbing everything.
00:08:03.000 I mean, it's just robbing and stealing.
00:08:06.000 And what are they doing?
00:08:07.000 They know we're waking up, so they're putting cameras up, AI cameras.
00:08:10.000 Face scanners everywhere.
00:08:12.000 Militarized police.
00:08:13.000 Our military is shifting now.
00:08:15.000 It's going to be majority within four years.
00:08:17.000 Foreign troops already 20% on the ground in Iraq.
00:08:20.000 Aren't even our troops.
00:08:21.000 Merc Forces.
00:08:24.000 Sunshine Project has documented that every major military base for every major city has helicopters and jets in hangars kept up and ready with pilots with knockout gas and nerve gas to either knock out or kill everyone.
00:08:38.000 We are in literal hell.
00:08:39.000 Total criminals are now in control.
00:08:47.000 One trillion dollars could buy a lot of things.
00:08:51.000 One trillion dollars could buy most anything.
00:08:55.000 One trillion dollars buyin' bullets, buyin' guns.
00:09:00.000 One trillion dollars in the hands of killer's dogs.
00:09:04.000 Whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:11:08.000 I know many of you out there are going to be in disbelief about this and saying he's full of shit, that those are lies, you know, that's not happening.
00:11:17.000 So, for those of you who think that or are on the border of it, I have a female who is an Iraqi war vet called into the Alex Jones Show on that same day and is there to back up exactly what Alex just said.
00:11:32.000 So, here it is.
00:11:34.000 Now, let's go back to Michelle and the other calls.
00:11:35.000 Michelle, you said that you were in the military.
00:11:37.000 Tell us what branch, and you said that you witnessed all the cash being handed out, but you didn't take part.
00:11:41.000 You also said no to the anthrax shot.
00:11:43.000 Specifically, give us the specifics without giving away too much about yourself.
00:11:46.000 Tell us.
00:11:47.000 Well, I... Hello?
00:11:49.000 Okay.
00:11:49.000 Yes.
00:11:50.000 Yes, I was in the Army, and without giving away too many specifics... Well, I will say, when I refused to take the anthrax shot again, I mean, it was like...
00:12:02.000 I was an outcast.
00:12:03.000 I was one of the few people in the line who said something doesn't feel right in my spirit.
00:12:09.000 I just don't see why.
00:12:10.000 It was almost like in 2003 because we knew what was going on.
00:12:14.000 We had a sense of what was going on.
00:12:16.000 They gave that to troops from the mid-90s to 2000.
00:12:19.000 They then banned its use because Bioport, run by Admiral Crowe, got shut down because they found it filled with all these microplasms, live viruses.
00:12:28.000 It was killing troops and maiming them en masse.
00:12:30.000 All mainstream news.
00:12:31.000 Go pull it up.
00:12:32.000 They suspended it, and then Bush just started it back up again in 2002.
00:12:35.000 But go ahead.
00:12:37.000 Yeah, I was just going to say that in 2002, we kind of suspected that something was going on because we were always having to do more...
00:12:43.000 We did more work than normal.
00:12:46.000 I would say when we weren't at war, things were a little bit more relaxed, more calm.
00:12:51.000 In 2002, right before everybody started to go to Iraq, especially the army units, there was just so much going on.
00:13:02.000 And I remember right before everybody had to leave, and they were giving everybody, they made us attend meetings saying this is what you're supposed to say if you get confronted with media people, this is what you're supposed to do if your family asks.
00:13:14.000 And we all knew where we were going.
00:13:15.000 Yeah, all had a lie.
00:13:16.000 And it was all very suspicious.
00:13:18.000 Tell us about the cash.
00:13:19.000 I was the main voice of dissent.
00:13:21.000 About the cash, I just felt it wasn't right in my spirit.
00:13:23.000 But describe where you were, how they were handing it out.
00:13:27.000 Well, some of the, it wasn't really the top brass.
00:13:31.000 It was mainly because I think that they didn't want the responsibility of it.
00:13:34.000 It was broken up at the higher level.
00:13:36.000 Yeah, you were there.
00:13:37.000 That's the stories I've heard from other troops that I know personally, is that, yeah, no, they'd come into the unit and hand it out there.
00:13:43.000 But go ahead.
00:13:43.000 It was mainly the NCOs, E-5, E-6, and above.
00:13:47.000 They kind of stopped it at the EA because I guess they worked more so with the top brass.
00:13:52.000 And, again, go over the cash.
00:13:54.000 Tell us about it.
00:13:55.000 So when they were dispersing it, especially when you were out in Iraq, either they did it discreetly or they did it out in the open, but you were kind of...
00:14:04.000 It was kind of hush-hush, like don't tell anybody this is amongst us five or this is amongst us eight, and nobody wanted to say anything about it because it was us as U.S. Army soldiers who were also working with the quote-unquote Iraqi soldiers.
00:14:19.000 And my thing with it was I can't really tell if they're for us or against us just because they put on the uniforms.
00:14:26.000 Now, I've been told between $1000 and $10,000 would be handed out within a month.
00:14:31.000 How much cash were you seeing being handed out?
00:14:33.000 Oh, more than that.
00:14:35.000 It was more than that.
00:14:36.000 I'm talking about per soldier.
00:14:38.000 Of course.
00:14:39.000 Well, it depended because there weren't buckets, per se, but there were, I would say, more like bags.
00:14:48.000 Bags of just money.
00:14:49.000 And then they would say, okay, we would go up to them.
00:14:51.000 The report I've got is those big dollies that are flat-bottomed with boxes.
00:14:56.000 And they would literally go, $10,000 for you.
00:14:58.000 Good job, $5,000 for you.
00:14:59.000 And don't say anything.
00:15:00.000 Go hide it.
00:15:01.000 And don't say anything.
00:15:02.000 And then we had to come back over to the states.
00:15:04.000 We kind of had to be very discreet in how, and not me personally, but how they had to do it.
00:15:09.000 And they've done the same thing.
00:15:10.000 Now, understand, the big guys have stolen almost $4 trillion.
00:15:13.000 Then they just hand out a few billion to you guys to then get you under their thumb.
00:15:17.000 It's kind of like, you know, the soldiers complain about, we complain amongst ourselves like how we don't get enough.
00:15:23.000 So it's kind of like an incentive little thing.
00:15:25.000 Here, we know that the army doesn't pay you enough, so this will be to offset those costs.
00:15:30.000 Yeah, but that's not what it is.
00:15:31.000 It's a corrupt deal.
00:15:32.000 It's a complete lie, and it's just, to me, I just want to say to all the people who facilitated that, and the person who called you a few days ago, cuckoo, just shame on you for thinking that this is not true and it's not happening.
00:15:45.000 I'm living proof that this is corruption to the highest, and... How long were you in Iraq, and what year?
00:15:52.000 One term, and I was only there for a year, so it was one term.
00:15:58.000 The unit that I used to be in is now on their third term over there, so it's just mind-boggling.
00:16:07.000 How often did they hand the cash out?
00:16:10.000 It depended.
00:16:12.000 Usually, it depended on what missions, because we would have to go off on missions.
00:16:18.000 So it depends on what missions we were going to, who we were meeting with.
00:16:21.000 If we were meeting with top people, it was kind of like all undercover.
00:16:25.000 Nobody pretended like anything was going on.
00:16:27.000 It was kind of like mom is the word.
00:16:32.000 This is also a way to introduce mainline troops into black ops, taking masses of cash.
00:16:37.000 Man, this is... And it's kind of a guilt thing, and so that's why I said I can't do it, because it's a snowball effect.
00:16:43.000 If you do it, and if you're a soldier and you had any conscience, and I wasn't the only one who refused to take it.
00:16:49.000 What percentage refused the cash?
00:16:52.000 Um, a small percentage.
00:16:53.000 5, 10%, 20%?
00:16:54.000 I would say maybe about 10.
00:16:58.000 I mean, because what can you do?
00:16:59.000 If you're being told and you're being brainwashed to say, this is what you're supposed to tell to the media, this is how you're supposed to act, what are you supposed to do?
00:17:06.000 Sure, sure.
00:17:07.000 They get you in groups of eight, and then what?
00:17:08.000 They just reach in bags and like, on average, hand out how much?
00:17:12.000 Just big, big, big, big stacks of hundreds?
00:17:15.000 Um, yeah.
00:17:16.000 Pretty much.
00:17:17.000 Pretty much.
00:17:18.000 I mean, you take what you can get and you fill it up and you don't say anything about it.
00:17:22.000 I mean, it's just as simple as that.
00:17:24.000 Did they tell you, don't send this home to family, or don't talk about this?
00:17:27.000 Oh yeah, don't send it, don't, you don't, mom is the word.
00:17:30.000 I couldn't stress that enough.
00:17:32.000 Mom was the word.
00:17:34.000 And it was just mind-boggling because I said, this is not right.
00:17:38.000 This is not how it was raised to be.
00:17:40.000 This is not part of my beliefs.
00:17:41.000 Now what about the foreign soldiers?
00:17:43.000 What about the illegal aliens that are now 20% of the Army Ground Force?
00:17:46.000 Or do they keep those in separate units?
00:17:48.000 Or were they in their units?
00:17:50.000 When we first went over there, we were at... Well, I won't say the place where we were at because there are still other soldiers and Marines over there now.
00:17:57.000 But we did work and live with some of the Iraqi Soldiers, and to me it was just like, it was the scariest thing in my life because I just kept thinking, are these really soldiers?
00:18:06.000 But I'm talking about mainly the Latin American slash Mexican slash Filipino.
00:18:12.000 Yeah, when I was over there I didn't even, I didn't really encounter them.
00:18:15.000 So they were probably in another part of Iraq or somewhere on the border.
00:18:19.000 I really didn't encounter them at all, not me personally.
00:18:23.000 I just mainly heard about the Iraqi soldiers, working with them, training them.
00:18:28.000 So were they handing the cash out every week, every month?
00:18:32.000 It wasn't a routine thing, it was a random thing.
00:18:35.000 How many times in the year you were there did you watch cash being served out?
00:18:40.000 Me personally, I would say about 15.
00:18:43.000 So every month or so?
00:18:45.000 Probably.
00:18:45.000 You can average it like that, but sometimes it could have been two times a month or three times or one time.
00:18:51.000 So it was really random.
00:18:53.000 But it went on.
00:18:54.000 How much cash each time on average?
00:18:58.000 Ballpark, thousands?
00:18:59.000 I would say maybe one soldier the first time probably about between two and three, four thousand dollars.
00:19:06.000 I didn't take it.
00:19:07.000 I didn't take it.
00:19:08.000 I saw, I just, I just saw it and I was, I mean I was tempted.
00:19:13.000 I can't lie, but it just wasn't right.
00:19:15.000 Unbelievable.
00:19:16.000 You know, I'd like to get your name off air.
00:19:18.000 I promise we'll never use your name in a story, but I'd like to be able to get you in contact with one of my writers.
00:19:23.000 Can we do that?
00:19:23.000 Sure.
00:19:24.000 All right, stay there, Michelle.
00:19:25.000 We'll be right back.
00:19:55.000 Cool toys for grown-ups.
00:20:07.000 That's what I'm going to be reading about next.
00:20:09.000 This is from Wired.com by Lisa Kate DeYama.
00:20:18.000 Who says toys are for kids?
00:20:21.000 In Japan, we believe that everyone, including our parents and grandparents, should have playing things, too.
00:20:27.000 Since September, I've been surfing my home country's best department stores and online retailers for crazy fun and creative toys for grown-ups.
00:20:35.000 Some are multifunctional, others are utterly useless.
00:20:38.000 Together, they gave us some insight into jokes and quirks that underline Japanese consumer culture.
00:20:45.000 Uh...
00:20:48.000 Fake marijuana plant.
00:20:50.000 Here's one form of marijuana that can be flaunted on a windowsill without the danger of being arrested.
00:20:56.000 These fake potted plants are made to look just like the real thing and are a big hit among potheads.
00:21:04.000 I don't know how to write comments here.
00:21:07.000 Man, it'd be such a blast replacing all my friend's plants with- nevermind.
00:21:13.000 Okay, blaze to that.
00:21:15.000 You've been able to avoid conviction, but would you definitely be inviting arrest on a search at the very least?
00:21:24.000 Looks nothing like real wheat.
00:21:27.000 Big hit among potheads.
00:21:29.000 Yeah, so someone sees it and the window will call the cops and they catch you smoking.
00:21:35.000 This has got to be one of the lamest ideas ever.
00:21:39.000 If you don't smoke pot, why would you want one of these?
00:21:42.000 If you do smoke pot, why would you want one of these?
00:21:45.000 If the level of retardation involved with this product is stupefying, I used to smoke weed and would love a couple of these.
00:21:54.000 I think everyone in America that believes marijuana should be legalized should Have one of them in their front yard in protest of the marijuana laws.
00:22:03.000 I bet it would not take long for the fake ones to be made illegal.
00:22:08.000 It goes on, but yeah, even if you had that, you could be accused of impersonating probably a pothead.
00:22:15.000 I'm assuming because in Florida, on freetalklive.com, they went over a year ago, a man He was a crack addict, and he needed money to buy crack, and he was too lazy to rob people and break into houses.
00:22:30.000 So what he simply did was he got bread at a gas station.
00:22:33.000 You get bread wet, and you crunch it up.
00:22:36.000 Oh, you don't get wet, just crunch it up in your hand.
00:22:38.000 You know, you can make bread into those little balls.
00:22:40.000 Well, you do that, and you microwave it, and apparently, I guess it looks similar to crack.
00:22:45.000 He was selling it, fake crack, to buy real crack on the streets in Florida, and I think it was in Florida.
00:22:50.000 It was somewhere in the country.
00:22:52.000 Um, but, you know, it's, and he got arrested for selling to an undercover cop, for selling fake drugs, to buy real drugs.
00:23:00.000 I, you know, it's, it's crazy how society is, but stuff like that does happen, so.
00:23:08.000 With that, cue the music.
00:23:10.000 Welcome back to the show.
00:23:24.000 This next one ties back to the money missing that was shipped to Iraq.
00:23:31.000 It's from TheRawStory.com.
00:23:33.000 Daily Show slams Bremer for $12 billion in lost cash.
00:23:39.000 Friday, February 9, 2007.
00:23:42.000 Raw Story is having video problems today.
00:23:46.000 On Thursday's Daily Show, Jon Stewart lampooned former U.S.-Iraq Council Paul Bremer Who somehow managed to lose $12 billion in cash.
00:23:55.000 I wish I could do that.
00:23:57.000 Just get it would be cool.
00:23:59.000 Said Democrat, Henry Waxman from Cali, on US effort to send so much money to Iraq.
00:24:06.000 To do that, the Federal Reserve Bank had to pack 281 million individual bills.
00:24:11.000 This money, mainly $100 bills, was packed into bricks and each brick was worth $400,000 each.
00:24:18.000 The cash weighed more than 363 tons.
00:24:21.000 Stuart jokes that the U.S.
00:24:23.000 must have flown, dipped in gold cargo planes into the sun.
00:24:27.000 I'm going to play this for you.
00:24:29.000 Enjoy.
00:24:30.000 That's oddly moving.
00:24:37.000 laughter Number one.
00:24:39.000 Let's talk about Iraq.
00:24:41.000 Which I don't know if you've heard is not going as well as perhaps it could have.
00:24:46.000 And four years into the war, Congressional Democrats just got this idea.
00:24:50.000 Start asking why.
00:24:52.000 On Tuesday, former Coalition Provisional Authority Chief L. Paul Bremer appeared before the House Oversight Committee.
00:24:57.000 The subject?
00:24:58.000 His failure to account for $8.8 billion of the $12 billion in cash meant to kick-start Iraq's post-war economy.
00:25:08.000 $12 billion in cash!
00:25:10.000 What do you get $12 billion in cash for?
00:25:13.000 To do that, The Federal Reserve Bank in New York had to pack 281 million individual bills, including more than 107 $100 bills, onto wooden pallets to be shipped to Iraq.
00:25:30.000 This money, mainly $100 bills, were packed into bricks, and each brick was worth $400,000 each.
00:25:39.000 The cache weighed more than 363 tons, and was loaded onto C-130 cargo planes.
00:25:46.000 And then those planes were dipped in gold!
00:25:50.000 And the wings were spread with caviar!
00:25:52.000 Those planes were beautiful!
00:25:54.000 And then they flew them directly into the sun!
00:25:56.000 Oh, they were the finest planes we ever did see!
00:26:01.000 La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da!
00:26:09.000 So, uh, about this money.
00:26:12.000 Well, the question this committee is trying to answer is what happened to the money.
00:26:17.000 Yes, the 363 tons of cash.
00:26:23.000 Seems like a fair question, Mr. Bremer.
00:26:25.000 I don't know.
00:26:26.000 Iraqi ministries lacked good payroll records.
00:26:29.000 F***ing Raneen in accounting!
00:26:40.000 Damn it!
00:26:43.000 Your unfamiliarity with Quicken has ruined our chances for a stable democracy in the world's most dangerous region.
00:26:50.000 And from the region that gave us algebra.
00:26:58.000 Mmm.
00:27:01.000 So vexing!
00:27:04.000 Of course, the Republicans on the committee wanted to let everybody know that they would have looked into this matter years ago, only it's really not that big a deal.
00:27:11.000 Self-righteous finger-wagging and political scapegoating won't make Iraq any more secure.
00:27:15.000 Sixty years ago, the Truman Commission found huge quantities of money going to waste, or worse, in FDR's administration of World War II.
00:27:22.000 I might also, for the committee, put into perspective what $12 billion is.
00:27:28.000 Certainly seems like a lot of money when you put it in $100 bills and put it on forklift.
00:27:33.000 Touch.
00:27:42.000 it It is true when put on a forklift, 12 billion does seem like a lot of money.
00:27:49.000 I'm going to go out on a limb here and say almost any amount of money that can be stacked on a forklift is in fact a large amount of money.
00:27:56.000 In fact, whenever you might have to say to someone, do you have change for a ton?
00:28:02.000 And I would like it in unmarked pallets on a forklift, you're dealing with quite a bit of money.
00:28:09.000 Anyway, that's Darylissa.
00:28:11.000 Trillionaire!
00:28:13.000 Well, the committee never got to the bottom of what happened to the missing money, but they're just getting started.
00:28:18.000 It will be the beginning of a two-year effort to make sure that we can watch to protect taxpayers' money from being wasted through inefficiency.
00:28:42.000 What could be slowing us down?
00:28:50.000 laughter Thank you.
00:28:52.000 For the true futility of this committee's efforts to fight government inefficiency and waste, the punchline really came at the end of the hearing.
00:29:04.000 The committee's website will now have a fraud, waste, and abuse tip line.
00:29:09.000 The website is www.oversight.house.gov.
00:29:14.000 Our Republican committee website invites whistleblowers and anyone else with information about waste, abuse, fraud, or needed reform.
00:29:21.000 Oversight at mail.house.gov.
00:29:25.000 We seem to have rival tip line websites.
00:29:31.000 Let's make this perfectly clear.
00:29:34.000 The House Oversight Committee established a waste and inefficiency tip line, and then another one.
00:29:45.000 But don't worry!
00:29:46.000 Don't worry!
00:29:48.000 Don't worry at all, people!
00:29:50.000 It's not a problem!
00:29:53.000 It'll all be cleared up by tomorrow's Congressional Tip Line Oversight Meeting on Redundancy get-together.
00:30:01.000 There will be four of them!
00:30:04.000 We'll be right back.
00:30:10.000 Welcome back to the show.
00:30:11.000 Yes, as you just heard, the government loves it.
00:30:15.000 Loves making things complicated.
00:30:17.000 And does just that as much as possible.
00:30:20.000 So you feel dumb and stupid.
00:30:22.000 And not knowing what the hell is going on.
00:30:26.000 Makes them the almighty one, I suppose.
00:30:31.000 John Stewart finds a way to make fine humor in just about anything, so I need those just that.
00:30:36.000 But I gotta get going with my Saturday, sorry.
00:30:39.000 About 30 minutes is long enough for the show for today.
00:30:42.000 We'll be back very, very soon.
00:30:45.000 Until next time, ta-ta!
