The Republican Gubernatorial Primary is kicking off in Texas and the candidates are starting to get their feet wet. Meanwhile, the economy continues to decline and the jobless rate continues to climb. Gold hits a 6 week high on the back of mixed U.S. data and a weak dollar. Iran continues to saber-rattle with threats of war with Israel and John Kerry tells Israel, don't attack Iran. Iran is making good on its promises of a nuclear deal with the United States, and the dollar continues to fall against the precious metal, gold, as well as other precious metals. Energy prices hit a new record high as the sun begins to set.
00:00:31.000We have the Republican gubernatorial primary kicking off.
00:00:34.000Today with Deborah Medina, Rick Perry, Kay Baby.
00:00:39.000We'll watch what happens there, but Medina's strong showings already gotten national attention for other constitutionalists to run as Republicans or Democrats for that matter.
00:00:50.000We'll be covering it coming up later in the broadcast day and opening the phones up.
00:00:58.000Ray McGovern, former top CIA analyst to Ronald Reagan and George Bush senior, will be joining us to talk about Government-sponsored terrorism in the Middle East.
00:01:23.000John Kerry travels to Israel and tells Israel, don't attack Iran.
00:01:28.000Mike Rivero joining us in the next hour with his once a month visit.
00:01:33.000We'll be live at PrisonPlanet.tv for three hours today, second, third, and fourth hour.
00:01:38.000And then Brad Martin will be joining us.
00:01:40.000They were up in Oregon and got the police BATF visit.
00:01:48.000They took their, not even BB guns, their airsoft.
00:01:51.000They shoot little soft plastic pellets and the ATF has no jurisdiction, but they don't care.
00:01:57.000That is coming up for 30 minutes later in the third hour and wide open phones, completely wide open phones in the second and fourth hour today.
00:02:07.000Again, we'll open the phones up next hour and then again in the fourth hour to talk about whatever issues you wish.
00:02:15.000On the economy front, jobless rate climbs 12% in the last two weeks.
00:02:22.000Wow! 12% increase in people losing their jobs.
00:02:26.000In the last two weeks, in real unemployment, it's around 22% according to all the private indexes that are out there.
00:02:33.000So you add this to it, boy, that is amazing.
00:02:36.000Also, oil gains to around $79 a barrel amid mixed U.S. data.
00:02:43.000You have world currencies declining in tandem through a coordinated effort of the private parasitic central banks that run our globe and the New World Order.
00:02:51.000And so, of course, you see gold surging to a six-week high, and gold futures rose today as well, pushing prices on the precious metal to the highest in six weeks as the U.S. dollar declined, increasing the appeal of gold as an alternative investment.
00:03:08.000We told you this will be short-lived, gold going down.
00:03:40.000They don't like going to people's doors and threatening to arrest them if they don't answer questions about their toilet, their stocks and bonds, their light bulbs, their firearms.
00:03:49.000All violations of the Fifth Amendment.
00:03:52.000The police can't make you answer questions and a census worker sure can't do it.
00:03:58.000In fact, I may want to have a space later during Open Phones for just census workers to call in and to talk about what they think of their job.
00:04:05.000And if they enjoy it, or people that have been harassed by census workers.
00:05:15.000Total government control of electricity in the name of smart grid technology is coming.
00:05:20.000In some areas of the country, the power grid is dangerously overloaded.
00:05:25.000And now, new socialist legislation is only compounding the problem.
00:05:29.000Dangerous weather is always a threat to local grids.
00:05:32.000Every year, thousands of families lose their power from weather-related outages.
00:05:36.000A solar power generator provides powerful backup, insurance, and peace of mind.
00:05:41.000Folks, I really believe in the solar power generators offered by solutions from Hundreds of nations have fallen to tyranny in the last century alone.
00:06:06.000This is our last chance to not relive history.
00:06:09.000As we're finishing off this agenda We're pulling the rug from underneath Americans at home.
00:06:15.000Tremendous influence on our president and Congress and they really are calling the shots.
00:06:20.000I think it's incumbent upon all of us as American citizens to pay attention.
00:06:25.000Full of the Republic identifies the enemies of our nation.
00:06:28.000The criminal offshore cartel, hell-bent on destroying sovereignty and on its ashes constructing world government.
00:06:44.000And right now in Washington, D.C., we have seen a fall of the republic.

00:06:58.000Hi, Alex has been encouraging you to get food.
00:07:04.000Well, here's an unbelievable chance for you to jumpstart your food savings plan from efoodsdirect.com.
00:07:10.000Anyone placing food orders on the large volume production run scheduled for the week of March 22nd can get a lot of food for very little cost.
00:07:18.000For example, with each pre-production order of three seven-day responders, they'll ship a fourth week of food free.
00:08:12.000We're going to be breaking down all the different major economic indicators that show that the economy, not just of the United States, but of every western nation, is in systemic designed freefall.
00:08:29.000House Majority Leader says Greek debt crisis can happen here.
00:08:35.000The United States must embrace a blend of tax increases and spending cuts to rein in its deficit or face a potentially crippling debt crisis like the one in Greece.
00:08:48.000Yes, all the money must be paid to the bankers.
00:08:55.000Like a third world nation, everything has to go to the bankers.
00:08:59.000The top U.S. lawmaker warned yesterday.
00:09:02.000It's enough to look across the Atlantic at Greece's extreme economic crises and understand it can happen here.
00:09:11.000If we don't change course, it will happen here, said Democratic House Majority Leader Hoyer.
00:09:18.000Hoyer, a close White House ally, said Democrats and Republicans in the U.S. Congress must take the politically tough Decisions, yes, following their banker master's orders to deflate the ballooning U.S. deficit and tackle record high U.S. debt.
00:09:34.000And they have all these articles in the Washington Post, the Washington Times, everywhere else that I've looked, explaining that Americans are greedy, bad people and that Americans don't like the government.
00:09:54.000The offshore banks are getting almost all of it, along with the military-industrial complex and the ballooning federal and state bureaucracies.
00:10:04.000And they'll pull a few stunts like, in California, teachers have to work one day a week free, and DPS workers have to work one day a week free, and yes, we're going to shut down part of some national parks, and we're not going to fill potholes.
00:10:52.000You lose two jobs for every job it creates, and they give the money to select cronies.
00:10:57.000It's a wonderful thing, and it'll shut down more power plants.
00:11:01.000Put more taxes on businesses and we're going to harass all the farmers and ranchers that are barely holding on by their fingernails and this is going to be great in China and India and everybody else in the third world and first developing world.
00:11:14.000They don't have to make any cuts but we do and then this is our plan and it's going to be great.
00:11:21.000Meanwhile, jobless claims up 12% in the last two weeks.
00:11:25.000CNN reports the number of Americans filing for initial unemployment insurance surged to just below the 500,000 level last week.
00:14:05.000Well, they're saying, don't worry, we got the next phase of globalism.
00:14:09.000It will get you out of the depression.
00:14:16.000Oil gains to around $79 amid mixed U.S. data.
00:14:21.000As commodities begin surging, gold reaches six-week high.
00:14:27.000Gold futures rose on Tuesday, pushing prices on the precious metal to the highest of six weeks as the U.S. dollar declined, increasing the appeal of gold as an investment instrument.
00:14:40.000Gold for April delivery rose $4.30 to $1,122.30 in earlier-touched $1,125.50 Continuing, to 80.607 from 80.753 in late North American trading last night.
00:15:13.000here's just an article out of St. Petersburg, Florida.
00:15:17.000And it mirrors what we're seeing all over the nation and all over the world for that matter.
00:15:22.000We're all under the same group's control.
00:15:26.000Medicare payment reductions worry doctors and patients.
00:15:30.000March begins with a financial blow for doctors.
00:15:33.000We're facing a major reduction in Medicare payments.
00:15:36.000The 21% reduction is the result of what some say is an outdated reimbursement formula from the 1990s.
00:15:42.000Over the years Congress managed to waive the deficit reduction measure, but legislatures Failed to repeal it last week so 21% cut in the payments with With funds that are absolutely Essential in Medicare and the news just continues on From there.
00:16:06.000I just want to mention this before I run out of time because Ray McGovern's coming up here in about 15 minutes.
00:16:12.000I Was surfing around on the internet, or internets as Bush would say, this morning.
00:16:19.000And I tried to go over to a Blogspot article headlined, Will Larry Pullet Silverstein...
00:16:26.000Will Mr. Larry Pullet Silverstein, did you commit insurance fraud on 9-11?
00:17:05.000And then you go to it, and it's an article about Larry Silverstein getting all this insurance in the World Trade Centers, and Building 7, The fact that he got a record insurance policy and a double insurance policy and how suspicious the whole thing is and how on a hundred and fifty million dollar investment he made over nine billion.
00:17:23.000And no, no, no, you can't go to that or you better be careful when you go to that because it's so dangerous.
00:17:32.000Just another example of more and more attempts at internet censorship and intimidating people away from alternative information that are going on.
00:17:42.000Coming up later in the broadcast, Supreme Court waives Chicago's strict gun ban.
00:17:47.000Justice is here, Second Amendment case, right to have a gun at home.
00:17:52.000But it says that Handgun Control Incorporated and others and the Justice Department are hopeful because they think the Supreme Court is going to rule, okay, you have a right to own firearms in Chicago and New York where they're basically banned for the general public, unless you make lucrative payments to the sheriff, who will then, in a few cases, let you have a concealed weapons permit.
00:18:11.000Mainly Goldman Sachs employees that came out of the ones that get it.
00:18:15.000In some cases, they pay more than $30,000 in campaign donations to get just one.
00:18:21.000But they say, oh, the court, though, is set, probably, we're thinking, according to court watchers and experts, to rule, yes, you have an individual right, but we have a right to restrict that right.
00:18:35.000And then, Last week, I saw a report out of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
00:18:42.000The presiding Chief Justice said it was a total police state, end of the Fourth Amendment, that police can now go into your house without a warrant, without even having suspicion that a crime has been committed.
00:18:54.000And that dovetails with a Seattle Times article today.
00:19:05.000Curbs on border searches of cell phones, laptops of U.S. citizens.
00:19:10.000And the L.A. Times had an article last week we covered where they mainly focus on citizens, business people, and now foreign governments are doing this as well, and sometimes they keep your laptop for six weeks or longer, your cell phone, and they take it and they download everything off of it and then say, on your way, no Fourth Amendment, no nothing, and it says here that the U.S. Customs and Border Protection says, yes, we don't need any suspicion of wrongdoing.
00:19:38.000It says, without first establishing suspicion of wrongdoing.
00:19:43.000And the precedence they set in airports and on the border are what they then roll out in the general public.
00:19:50.000So, just rapidly becoming a bona fide, certified, five-star total tyranny.

00:21:08.000You wouldn't buy gold if you believed that the government is doing a great job, that the Fed will stop handing out trillions of dollars like bailout candy, that Social Security would be there for you.
00:21:19.000You might even pass on gold if the stimulus package wouldn't fuel inflation, or that the dollar wouldn't lose value, or that your retirement would be secure.
00:21:27.000If all looks rosy to you, then now is not the time to buy gold.

00:24:02.000The Genesis Communications Radio Network proudly presents the Alex Jones Show.
00:24:07.000Because there's a war on for your mind.
00:24:12.000A Texas poll up on PrisonPlanet.com reports Ron Paul approval rating 84% in his district.
00:24:22.000So much for him not representing the people.
00:24:25.000And they've had the Republican Party running three neocons against him.
00:24:31.000But he's set in the poll to get 74% of the vote in today's, well, in the upcoming primary contest.
00:24:41.000And in the overall poll, he has an 84% approval rating.
00:24:49.000Now, anti-New World Order, anti-global government, anti-private Federal Reserve, anti-any gun control laws, anti-abortion, pro-control the border, 84%.
00:25:01.000There is no other Texas elected representative that I've ever seen with a number like that.
00:25:32.000Meanwhile, we have Democratic and Republican leaders and Glenn Beck and others all over television saying that we must have massive tax increases to pay the bankers off or they will shut us down like Greece.
00:25:46.000Will we continue to be held hostage by these people?
00:25:50.000And that's what NORTHCOM and Homeland Security are publicly for, is to suppress the American people.
00:25:56.000It's not for folks with brown skin, wearing turbans, living in caves on mountaintops.
00:26:01.000That is used to sell you on the initial Patriot Act.
00:26:06.000And now, Obama, Sunday night, reauthorized the U.S.A.
00:26:11.000Patriot Act and didn't pull out any of the provisions that are used in non-terror related cases.
00:26:22.000And the naked body scanners are going in everywhere.
00:26:27.000There's massive resistance to it, but the establishment, just like they're breaking a horse, is forcing it through.
00:26:35.000Public schools are watching their pupils at home via government-issued laptops.
00:26:40.000The ATF is raiding toy shops that sell legal BB guns that shoot plastic pellets.
00:26:49.000It doesn't matter if major polls or the average person doesn't want their water fluoridated, the federal government will spend millions lobbying to get even small towns to put it in.
00:27:02.000And the list of corruption just goes on and on.
00:27:04.000We have a government trying to force young girls to take Gardasil shots on record that hurt them and kill them in many cases.
00:27:11.000Trying to force nurses and police to take swine flu shots and it comes out the whole thing's a fraud.
00:27:19.000We just have to get the message out to everybody that we have a lawless, illegitimate government.
00:27:24.000And if we don't say no, it's just going to get worse.
00:27:26.000And before the break, I was getting into this article out of the Seattle Times today.
00:27:30.000No curbs on border searches of cell phones, laptops.
00:27:36.000In the last year and a half, civil liberties groups and business Travel leaders have complained about U.S. border agents' broad authority to search and seize laptops.
00:28:01.000But new information details the extent to which this has happened.
00:28:06.000Debate over the searches picked up steam in July of 2008 when the federal officials, not servants, officials issued a policy directive that makes clear that agents at airports and borders can look into your electronic devices without first establishing suspicion of wrongdoing.
00:28:21.000In 2006 at Bilderberg in Ottawa, they grabbed our three laptops and downloaded their full contents and kept us for 15 hours screaming at us.
00:28:30.000In a recent nine-month period, U.S. Customs and Border Protection Searched and seized 1,644 devices.
00:28:39.000And that's just when they filled out paperwork on it.
00:28:42.000In a recent nine-month period, U.S. Customs and Border Agents searched and seized 1,644 devices from travelers entering and leaving the United States, according to data the American Civil Liberties Union obtained through a lawsuit.
00:29:16.000They take your electronic devices without first establishing suspicion of wrongdoing.
00:29:25.000No Fourth Amendment in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
00:29:30.000Last week, it's now a week and a half ago, ruled that police don't need warrants to come in your house and need no suspicion.
00:29:42.000And all over the country, from Boston to Chicago to Dallas, they're doing knock and talk, demanding to come in and look at your guns without warrants.
00:30:00.000This is Alex Jones, and I want to tell you about the Ecola Blue Atmospheric Water Generator that produces pure drinking water right from the humidity in the air.

00:31:09.000As we're finishing off this agenda, they'll be pulling the rug from underneath Americans at home.
00:31:14.000I have tremendous influence on our President and Congress, and they really are calling the shots.
00:31:20.000I think it's incumbent upon all of us Today seems like nobody does care.

00:34:38.000It takes you to the sub-page link of the iPhone Apple Store.
00:35:00.000And it's never been easier to wake somebody up by having them tune into the radio show.
00:35:04.000OK, for the next 25 minutes, we're joined by Ray McGovern.
00:35:08.000Really doesn't need much of an introduction here.
00:35:10.000He's a retired CIA officer, political activist, who writes and lectures all over the country.
00:35:15.000He's also an author and researcher, writes articles for Counterpunch and many other great publications.
00:35:21.000He is co-founder of Veterans Intelligence Professionals for Sanity.
00:35:25.000Of course, he famously grilled and shut down Rumsfeld when he was lying, saying he never said WMDs were in Iraq.
00:35:34.000And of course, Ray McGovern Also has been exposing a lot of the things that the government's been doing, some of the staged crises that they use to expand wars and tyranny.
00:35:47.000And I wanted to get him on on a host of issues today.
00:35:54.000So much is going on, but out of the gates before we get into terrorists working for our government, staging attacks overseas, open discussions of Uh, assassinating U.S. citizens abroad.
00:36:05.000Uh, Barack Obama, you'd been hopeful that there would be a shift away from the neocons.
00:36:11.000Now we hear continued talk of new wars, expanded wars, uh, continuing torture.
00:36:52.000And Netanyahu took his thumb and his other fingers and, you know, thumbed his nose at Barack Obama and said, oh, yeah, by the way, we've stopped working on this little part of East Jerusalem, but now we're...
00:37:08.000We're going to do a new settlement on this hill or that hill.
00:37:11.000So, for Barack Obama, after a year in office, to tell, I guess it was a Time reporter, in this plaintive tone, gee, you know, I didn't think that the Arab-Israeli thing was so intractable.
00:37:45.000So my major fear right now, Alex, is that Netanyahu has to look on this Obama character as a real wuss, you know, a real captive of the Israel lobby in this country.
00:37:59.000And so what's to prevent Netanyahu from starting a war with Iran with the full expectation that Congress will, We'll vote, as it usually does, 492 to 3 in favor of, you know, defending our, quote, ally, and I use quotation marks because an ally is a country with which another country has a defense agreement.
00:38:25.000And there is no mutual defense agreement between Israel and the United States.
00:38:30.000And that's more than just a technicality that does not oblige us to go to war.
00:38:37.000Well, Ray McGovern, you were one of the chief analysts in the morning briefer for Ronald Reagan, George Bush Sr.
00:38:44.000I mean, if you were there sitting in front of the president today, i.e.
00:38:47.000the American people you're speaking to right now, what's the word with all your intelligence sources and also just analyzing the full spectrum?
00:38:55.000We see Ahmadinejad saying they plan, Israel plans to attack in the spring or summer.
00:39:01.000We see the communist Chinese saying, you know, they're basically girding for conflict.
00:39:06.000With the United States, we see Russia now becoming more and more angry at what the West is doing.
00:39:17.000We see John Kerry dispatched to Israel in a speech to say, look, don't attack.
00:39:33.000It all depends, in my view, Alex, on how Anishinaabh and his cohorts there in Tel Aviv view Obama.
00:39:42.000The incredible traveling back and forth between Washington and Tel Aviv, you have the CIA head, you have the National Security Advisor, you have the Defense Secretary, you have the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
00:40:02.000Biden is either there or going there this Something's being planned.
00:40:06.000Well, you know, it seems to me that what's happening is what happened a year and a half ago when Admiral Mullen, just named Joint Chief of Staff Chairman, went to Israel and he said, look, we don't want a war with Iran.
00:40:23.000So stop listening to Elliott Abrams and Dick Keeney.
00:40:34.000Okay? I know what happened on June 8th, 1967, when you tried to sink one of our ships, okay?
00:40:41.000That's not going to happen again, so don't even think of it!
00:40:44.000Now, that was amazing, Alex, because that was the first time any senior statesman, any senior military officer ever raised the USS Liberty incident with the Israelis.
00:40:55.000He read of the Riot Act, and it worked at a time when Cheney and Bush were And the other thing that helps, of course, in those days was the sensible U.S. intelligence estimate that said, and most people forget this, the estimate said, yeah, Iran had been working on the weapons part of a nuclear program up until the fall of 2003 and then they stopped.
00:41:24.000And we say that with great confidence.
00:41:29.000Now, whether they've resumed between 2003 and 2007 when the estimate came out, Well, Ray, I saw that in the paper when it happened, and I don't want to just glaze over it.
00:41:47.000That's an important point you raised a few minutes ago that I'd really kind of forgotten about.
00:41:53.000That Admiral Mullen, and I saw it in the Jerusalem Post, said, don't stage an event like the USS Liberty.
00:42:00.000I mean, that was an amazing statement by a top military officer of don't launch a false flag.
00:42:06.000And I remember you almost four years ago on this show saying, I think Cheney will try to stage a Gulf of Tonkin near the Strait of Hormuz.
00:42:15.000And then a year and a half later, it came out that right around that time, Cy Hirsch reported at MSNBC, it was confirmed, wanted to have US Navy SEALs attack US destroyers.
00:42:27.000Looks like they only did the fake radio transmission, but that wasn't enough, and the Admiralty, as it goes, didn't bite, and Fox Fallon didn't bite on it.
00:42:39.000So flesh that out for people in layman's terms, what it means to have a top military officer go to the Israelis and say, look, don't stage an event.
00:42:48.000Well, it's good that you pointed out Cy Hirsch's reporting, because he also reported that Dick Cheney had proposed, and I don't know how far this got, but proposed painting PT boats or these swift boats with Iranian colors and having them dropped off by the Israelis in the Persian Gulf and created an incident that way.
00:43:11.000So all this is very real, and the distinction I would make between what Mullen did a year and a half ago and what he did just last, well, two weeks ago is this.
00:43:24.000Now he's sounding like, please, please don't start an attack.
00:45:36.000And, of course, they had a great intention of doing that.
00:45:39.000And one of the reasons, I believe, that they tried to sink the Liberty, it's because the Liberty was in a position to intercept communications, without which the Israelis couldn't do Golan, okay?
00:45:53.000And, therefore, they would nip it in the bud there by taking a ship.
00:45:58.000In any case, the situation is very similar now, because there's no guarantee that the Israelis won't go ahead with the full expectation that a lopsided vote in Congress and in the administration.
00:46:37.000So we have a bunch of people who, as I said before, have great difficulty distinguishing between what they believe to be the strategic necessities of Absolutely, passionate attachments of one country to the perceived needs of another.
00:47:54.000It's the last bastion of support for people who, in Israel's eyes, endanger the state of Israel.
00:48:07.000It is true that Iran affords a lot of help to Hamas and Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
00:48:18.000Now, these have been branded terrorist organizations by the U.S., but they're mostly so popular because they help the common people, the poor people, and they do have terrorist wings.
00:48:31.000Now, these terrorists can wreak havoc on Israel, and that's why Israel is doing all this preemptive stuff, including killing 14,000 Gaza, mostly civilians, at the turn of a year ago.
00:48:46.000So Israelis would like to take advantage of the opportunity to raise this, what shall we call it, this pretext of Iran becoming close to a nuclear weapon, to do in the regime there, and to make Iran the kind of basket case that they succeeded in getting the Bush administration to make Iraq,
00:49:11.000And we've seen a lot of different breakdowns by analysts of what will happen if Iran is attacked.
00:49:18.000All of the scenarios are bad, but they go from bad to worse.
00:49:21.000Briefly, what will happen if Iran is bombarded?
00:49:24.000One of the things they'll do, and this will hurt most Americans, is mine the Straits of Hormuz.
00:49:30.000And, you know, through that strait, the Straits of Hormuz, go, I think, 40 percent of the exported oil to the rest of the world.
00:49:40.000So you talk about Japan, China, talk about some really interesting and powerful countries that will be affected by this, not to mention U.S.
00:50:44.000ships in the Persian Gulf are sitting ducks, frankly.
00:50:46.000They're not, if I were the head of the Navy, I'd get them the heck out of there and not make What is it?
00:50:55.00013,000 sunburned missiles that can hit all our ships?
00:50:58.000We'll be right back with Ray McGovern.
00:51:00.000For safety, you lock doors, set alarms, buy antivirus software, maybe even have a watchdog.

00:51:30.000We the people grow cotton, weave fabric, engrave ink, embed strips and fibers to protect from counterfeit, then carting to a private bank, having it led back at interest, forcing taxes to service debt.
00:51:40.000Or was Jefferson correct when stating a central bank issuing the public currency is a greater menace to the liberties of the people than a standing army?
00:52:15.000I have tremendous influence on our President and Congress, and they really are calling the shots.
00:52:20.000I think it's incumbent upon all of us as American citizens to pay attention.
00:52:26.000For the Republic identifies the enemies of our nation, the criminal offshore cartel, hell-bent on destroying sovereignty and on its ashes constructing world government.
00:54:05.000Fifteen minutes into the next hour, Ray McGovern will leave us.
00:54:07.000We'll do the rest of the hour live at PrisonPlanet.TV with Mike Rivero.
00:54:15.000Ladies and gentlemen, I've seen all these big statements out of the State Department and many others that this is one of the most critical times in world history in the last 200 years.
00:55:11.000They could shoot a couple rockets into Israel, and some people believe that they could destroy the Israeli weapons reactor in Dimona.
00:55:21.000So, you know, the Israelis can't be really clear about what would happen unless they enlist the U.S.
00:55:28.000to be at the ready if and when they decide to attack.
00:55:33.000I think that a lot of their concern, though, even the Israeli concern, is kind of like a synthetic one, it's manufactured concern.
00:55:42.000They're whipping up this hysteria, even though the Iranians' poor souls are having all kinds of trouble trying to enrich their uranium, even to work in a nuclear reactor for electricity.
00:55:53.000They're whipping up this hysteria because it's something that the U.S. citizens can be sold on, just like before Iraq.
00:56:00.000Now, one of the things that's really curious is, here's Hillary Clinton, our Secretary of State, out there in Doha, out there at the That's good.
00:56:28.000Well, if it got one nuclear weapon, you know, it would be a real threat to, an existential threat to Israel, which only has between 200 and 300 deliverable by rocket, by under the sea, by naval aircraft, you know, you name it, deliverable in all kinds of ways.
00:56:50.000So it's a real stretch, you know, despite The, you know, the paranoia, or the...
00:56:57.000Meanwhile, Pakistan's got quite a few nukes and medium-range delivery systems.
00:57:01.000Yeah. Well, even, you know, my friend Robert Gates, who was nominated to be Defense Secretary right there in 2004, I guess, well, 2006, right after the terrible election for the Republicans.
00:57:19.000You know, when he was asked by one of the Why would, tell me, just tell me, why would Iran want to have a nuclear weapon?
00:57:37.000And Gates, I guess, thinking more as an analyst rather than a politician, he says, well, look at the map.
00:57:44.000They're surrounded by countries that have nuclear weapons.
00:57:53.000Turkey? And Turkey, and well, Turkey doesn't have a nuclear weapon.
00:57:57.000we've got news there young yeah but and then in the Persian Gulf at the US this surrounded Pakistan Russia And of course, that's a sensible,
00:58:20.000sensible... Now, what happens to North Korea?

01:00:41.000I was talking to Ray about chances of them attacking Iran.
01:00:45.000I mean, I'll ask him that on air, but if you were there talking to Obama, if you could have an hour with Obama, What would be the first thing you said to him, Ray McGovern?
01:00:55.000Well, you know, this kind of thing is not impossible.
01:00:59.000Let me go back a couple years and tell you that I met Senator John Warner, my distinguished senator from Virginia, at a concert, okay?
01:01:08.000He was walking alone outside, and I said to my wife, oh, this is a great chance.
01:01:12.000I went out there and introduced myself as the fellow that gave up my seat at the Bolshoi Ballet when he came to sign agreements on disarmament back in 1972.
01:01:27.000And as we walked back into the crowd there, he's hanging onto my arm.
01:01:33.000And I said, you know, Senator Warner, you really ought to look into why they hate us, why they really hate us.
01:01:39.000And he turned to me and said, oh, why is that?
01:01:42.000And I said, because they identify us specifically and exclusively with the state of Israel and the kinds of oppression that Israel is doing in the Middle East.
01:01:51.000Now, his grip on my arm, Alex, was like a vice.
01:02:20.000So what I would do to Obama is grab his arm and say, look, Barack, you're surrounded by people who don't have the interests of the United States primary in mind.
01:02:31.000This Iran thing is a cockamamie way to do the kind of regime change that Bush and Cheney did in Iraq.
01:02:40.000Face up to Obama or else just go away because you're a terrible disappointment the way you cave in to all these crooks.
01:02:53.000I've seen a lot of top analysts saying this could trigger a World War III type of scenario, or bare minimum, a wider conflict.
01:03:01.000And there's a lot of other regimes around the world that, on both sides, or on different sides, on their own side, who may take an attack on Iran, knowing we're totally overextended, as a chance to start new wars and take over other areas.
01:03:15.000Well, not only that, but the Iranians have the kind of terrorist system that, you know, makes al-Qaeda look like a grammar school.
01:03:21.000They can cause all kinds of troubles here in this country as well.
01:03:25.000So, you know, it's really necessary for this word to get out.
01:03:30.000And what I call the fawning corporate media, Alex, the mass media in this country, TV, radio, owned by the kinds of corporations that are profiting from wars, such as we have in Iraq and Afghanistan and, God forbid, Iran, they don't know which end is up.
01:03:52.000All they care about is to disguise the real roots of these wars.
01:03:58.000And one thing, I'll just add to this calculus.
01:04:01.000Today, there's a Washington Post panegyric, you know, a very laudatory exposition on Rahm Emanuel.
01:04:10.000The reason that Barack Obama is pondering is because he hasn't heeded Rahm Emanuel's advice.
01:04:16.000That's the whole point of this thing, written by one of their neocon writers, okay?
01:04:22.000In the midst of this thing, it turns out that Rahm Emanuel was first and foremost among those that said, you can't try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in a civilian court.
01:04:33.000Now, he wants him tried in a military court.
01:04:38.000Because Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, when he was asked, when he was first apprehended, why he did what he did in masterminding 9-11, he said, because of my extreme hatred for U.S. politics.
01:04:57.000Let's talk about your article, The Good Terrorist.
01:05:01.000Hi, Alex has been encouraging you to get food.
01:05:04.000Well, here's an unbelievable chance for you to jumpstart your food savings plan from efoodsdirect.com.
01:05:10.000Anyone placing food orders on the large-volume production run scheduled for the week of March 22nd can get a lot of food for very little cost.
01:05:19.000For example, with each pre-production order of three seven-day responders, they'll ship a fourth week of food free.
01:08:14.000He's Alex Jones on the GCN Radio Network.
01:08:18.000And now, live from Austin, Texas, Alex Jones.
01:08:23.000All right, we've got two hours and 52 minutes left in this four-hour radio broadcast.
01:08:28.000It is Texas Independence Day, March 2nd, Tuesday.
01:08:35.000We've got about six minutes left with Ray McGovern, former top CIA analyst, multiple presidents, With the balance of the hour into the next, we're going to have the once-a-month visit with Mike Rivero.
01:09:04.000Ray, shifting gears just into the policies That our nation has really now openly adopted.
01:09:13.000What, three years ago, four years ago, Bush put out a press release from the White House saying, oh, we're funding these four patriot groups inside Iran, three of them tied to Al-Qaeda, one of them commanded by the number three in Al-Qaeda.
01:09:26.000And I remember years ago, you talk about the Golden Mosque in Iraq being bombed by Western forces to get the Sunnis and Shiites killing each other.
01:09:34.000That later came out that that was the case.
01:09:36.000I mean, this is standard operating procedure.
01:09:39.000And he wrote an article titled, A Good Terrorist Captured by Iran for Counterpunch, break down the type of covert operations, the black ops, the false flags that are being launched against Iran.
01:09:55.000Because from all this evidence and the White House admitting it and Obama continuing it, Iran has been incredibly restrained in putting up with this and not responding.
01:10:06.000Well, they had a big piece of luck because they had captured one of the good terrorists.
01:10:11.000Now, as is well known, there are good terrorists and there are bad terrorists.
01:10:26.000You can do a lot of stuff with $400 million.
01:10:29.000And one of the terrorist organizations that seems to be acquiring some of this largest, our tax money, is a violent organization called Jurdala.
01:10:41.000Now, people have to realize that almost half the population in Iran is minority.
01:10:47.000You have the Azeris, you have the Balukis, you have the Kurds.
01:10:54.000So there's a fertile field for causing trouble and putting the regime off balance.
01:10:59.000Well, they caught this one fellow, and his claim to fame was running this Zurdala, which is not only harassing everyone that can, not only tried to assassinate Ahmadinejad, but also can be used in this manner.
01:11:16.000On October 1st last year, there was a breakthrough agreement that shocked everyone.
01:11:23.000For the first time, a high-level negotiator, that is, it was the undersecretary of state, was sent to talk with the Iranians, together with the Europeans, about the Iranian nuclear problem. And the proposal was, hey...
01:11:42.000Why don't you send 75% of your low-enriched uranium to Russia and to France, and we'll turn it into the fuel you need for your small reactor that produces medical isotopes.
01:11:59.000Even the New York Times acknowledged that if this happens, that would represent a major accomplishment, reducing Iran's ability to make a nuclear weapon quickly and buying more time for negotiations.
01:12:13.000Jandala rose to the occasion, and two and a half weeks later, namely on October 18, 2009, mounted a guerrilla operation that killed the deputy commander of the Revolutionary Guard's ground forces, another brigadier general who commanded that part of Iran, three other brigade commanders, and dozens of other military officers and civilians.
01:13:44.000They don't care much about the nuclear thing or else they would have taken the Iranians, you know, on their agreement and principle to go through with it.
01:13:56.000Now, the rest of the story is the Iranians have come up with several other very constructive suggestions.
01:14:00.000They've all been turned down by, guess who?
