In this episode of The Alex Jones Show, Alex talks about a video of Democratic Rep. Bob Etheridge being attacked by a group of college kids, and how the mainstream media spin it as some kind of pro-war PR stunt. He also talks about the $1 Trillion worth of mineral deposits discovered in Afghanistan and how they could be used as a weapon in the war on terror.
00:00:34.000My name's Paul Joseph Watson, editor and writer for PrisonPlanet.com.
00:00:39.000I'll be sitting in for the first hour while Alex is away, and afterwards we'll have another rebroadcast of the best interviews of the past week or so.
00:00:48.000Um, as was yesterday, I want to get your calls, um, lined up fairly quickly.
00:00:54.000Uh, we'll go to them at the bottom of the hour.
00:00:56.000So, um, the studio number is 888-201-2244.
00:01:06.000And we're going to get into the latest on the oil spill and how it's being used, as we've documented previously, to push this nightmare green economy that we've seen decimate countries like Spain already and how Obama is using it to move towards the nationalisation of the oil industry and government takeover of business.
00:01:30.000Now, we're also going to get into this, quote, new story on this trillion dollars worth of mineral deposits that have been discovered in Afghanistan and debunk it for the pro-war PR stunt that it is.
00:01:44.000But first, I want to get into this video.
00:01:50.000This confrontation between this Democratic congressman, Bob Etheridge, and these two college kids.
00:01:57.000And you've probably already seen the video.
00:01:59.000It's on prisonplanet.com for those of you who haven't, but you can barely avoid it over the past 24 hours.
00:02:07.000And basically it shows this Democratic Congressman Etheridge walking down the street after a Pelosi speech.
00:02:13.000And he's confronted by these two, um, college kids who merely ask him if he supports the Obama agenda.
00:02:21.000And now, um, what's interesting after that is that Etheridge goes completely nuts, grabs the kid's arm, starts throwing punches at the camera, and then grabs him round the neck in a kind of mini half-Nelson, um, while these kids are trying to say, what are you doing?
00:02:40.000Um, Now in the 24 hours since this came out, we learned the fact that the government immediately got hold of it and start issuing talking points on how the corporate media should debunk this story.
00:02:57.000And just like the castrated little sheep that they are, You know, people like Chris Matthews, MSNBC, and those that work at the Washington Post and the rest of the establishment neolib blogosphere immediately clicked their heels and started following these orders in trying to dismiss this video confrontation with the congressman.
00:03:23.000Um, and even going to the lens of not only absolving Etheridge of blame, but trying to tell us basically that down is up, and that it was Etheridge, not the college kids who asked him a question and were assaulted, but it was Etheridge that was attacked and assaulted by the college kids who merely asked him a question.
00:03:45.000To the corporate media who followed their orders, dutifully, like the castrated sheep they are, you're not going to make this go away by trying to take the focus away from Etheridge's bizarre control freak behaviour.
00:03:59.000This guy's supposed to be a public servant, so you're not going to be able to demonize people who ask questions of public servants by claiming it's all a Republican stunt and that it's contrived and invented, which is exactly what they're now trying to do through these White House talking points that have gone out to the media.
00:04:23.000I don't even care if these kids were Republican Party operatives.
00:04:27.000The issue is that Etheridge, this establishment neolib, is acting like a nutcase on a power trip and his behaviour is emblematic of how our representatives see us as basically turds on a Sidewalk that they can treat like crap when in reality they're public servants.
00:04:46.000We'll play the video We'll get into how the media is spinning this after the break.

00:07:00.000Hi, I'm Mark Craighead, founder of Crossbreed Holsters.
00:07:09.000I designed our top-selling holster, the Super Tuck Deluxe, to solve the problems of being poked, pinched and gouged while carrying concealed.
00:07:17.000The Super Tuck Deluxe is the most comfortable, most concealable holster on the market today.
00:07:22.000We offer a two-week free trial and a lifetime warranty.
00:08:35.000Now we're talking about this confrontation between the college kids and this congressman, Bob Etheridge, which is causing debate across the political spectrum.
00:08:46.000And basically what we've learned in the 24 hours since this emerged as a news story from Andrew Breitbart's big government website is the fact that the White House, a Democratic Party official, put out these talking points where he was basically ordering the media to try and spin this confrontation in which Etheridge Uh... physically assaults these people who asked him if he was supporting the Obama agenda.
00:09:12.000They put out these talking points uh... mandating the corporate media to spin this as a contrived partisan setup in an attempt to discredit it.
00:09:22.000Now, I'm afraid it's just not going to work, because you're never going to take attention and focus away from what the story is, the heart of it, which is Etheridge's bizarre, insane reaction, his ego power trip to merely being asked a question.
00:09:39.000You're just not going to spin it by saying it's a Republican setup, because as you've seen and heard as listeners of the Alex Jones Show over the past several years, neocons have been confronted in exactly the same way.
00:09:53.000Remember David Fromm, this is the guy that wrote Bush's Axis of Evil speech, this is the guy who was confronted by We Are Change members.
00:10:02.000Back in 2008 when they asked him about 9-11.
00:10:05.000And if you watch the clip, which is on the website, Fromm behaved almost exactly the same way as Etheridge did in this new video clip.
00:10:14.000He's swatting away the camera, he's assaulting the people asking the questions, he's pushing them away.
00:10:20.000So I don't care who's being confronted.
00:10:23.000Whether it's a Democrat or Republican, and I don't care who's asking the questions, the key issue is the reaction of the individual being confronted.
00:10:32.000And you have to ask why the establishment's in such a blind panic over this story.
00:10:40.000And it's because they're petrified that a couple of college kids with a flip camera can change the course of a state election.
00:10:49.000I mean, You're not going to turn reality on its head by claiming that Etheridge was being attacked and assaulted by these kids, which is now what they're trying to do.
00:10:58.000Etheridge, in the 24 hours since this emerged as a news story, has been forced to issue an apology for his behaviour in the incident.
00:11:07.000And yet Democrats and the Lib Card, Neo-Lib establishment are still trying to spin it as a contrived partisan stunt, when Etheridge has already apologised for it.
00:11:20.000Politico reported last night that this Democratic Party official was sending out a set of talking points and it said, quote, push hard with blogs the lack of credibility inherent to anything Breitbart does or posts given its role in the debunked Acorn videos.
00:11:38.000So this is a memo from the government going out to the corporate media and the neolib blogs telling them how to respond to this incident.
00:11:49.000Um, and you'd think it would be an uphill struggle because, you know, Etheridge has already apologized, he's already accepted blame for it, and yet they're still trying to, uh, make out as if the kids asking him the question were the ones, um, engaging in ambush journalism, and even one blog suggests that he was, that these kids asking the question were in fact attacking Etheridge and he was defending himself.
00:12:24.000It's just amazing how quickly the mainstream media followed orders.
00:12:29.000And we had this coordinated spin, which centered mainly, as you would expect, around Chris Matthews and other hosts on MSNBC.
00:12:38.000We've got the Chris Matthews clip linked up in the article today on PrisonPlanet.com, in which, again, he tries to undermine the people who asked the question by claiming that the congressman was ambushed.
00:12:51.000And he doesn't even mention the fact that he was physically grappling and assaulting with this young student who asked the question.
00:12:59.000And we're going to exemplify this now by playing an MSNBC clip in which they cite so-called Democrats as blasting the people allegedly behind this video.
00:13:12.000So they're trying to create this notion that The people to blame for this confrontation are the kids who are asking him the question.
00:14:09.000So in a written statement just a short time ago, the congressman said, quote, I deeply and profoundly regret my reaction and I apologize to all involved throughout my many years of service to the people of North Carolina.
00:14:20.000I've always tried to treat people from all viewpoints with respect, no matter how intrusive and partisan our politics can become.
00:14:27.000This does not Justify a poor response.
00:14:30.000I have and will always work to promote a civil public discourse.
00:14:33.000Meanwhile though, there are some Democrats that are blasting the people allegedly behind this video.
00:14:39.000It first appeared on Andrew Breitbart's conservative blog biggovernment.org.
00:14:43.000Breitbart, you might recall, was partly responsible for that notorious acorn video featuring conservative James O'Keefe when he dressed as a pimp.
00:14:51.000After a separate video project, O'Keefe pleaded guilty to misdemeanor for entering Senator Mary Landrieu's office.
00:15:00.000So that's the clip, and if you listen to it carefully, the host tries to use the fact that the guy who got the infamous acorn scoop pleaded guilty to a trespassing misdemeanor, which is, you know, has no relation to the actual acorn story whatsoever.
00:15:22.000Through which to imply that these um... college students who asked the question of the congressman was somehow uh... engaging in uh... a criminal act by asking this uh... public servant a question and then this host then you know parents chris matthews debunk smear of uh... blaming the kid who who supposedly engaged in an ambush again undermining the people ask the question while failing completely to uh... explore
00:15:52.000Why the congressman reacted in such an aggressive and bizarre manner.
00:16:00.000Not only are they trying to portray Etheridge as the victim of the incident, after this government memo went out saying what talking points they should go from, there's a website politically illustrated, again this neoliberal establishment website, which ran with a headline, quote, Bob Etheridge defends himself against student attack on sidewalk.
00:16:23.000Now, you know, if someone punches your camera, grabs you by the neck, grabs you by the arm, and basically puts you into a half-Nelson, then...
00:16:33.000You better be concerned that they don't charge you with attacking them because now these neolib websites are saying that Etheridge was defending himself from an attack when he's grabbing the guy almost around the throat and assaulting this individual.
00:16:50.000Um, and the Washington Post even reported that Etheridge's assault of this student who was asking him the question was, quote, a hug!
00:17:02.000He's grabbing him round the neck, he's squeezing his arm, he's throwing punches at the camera, and the Washington Post reports it as a hug!
00:17:10.000You know, imagine if someone like Rand Paul, who of course was completely savage because he expressed this nuanced philosophical position on the Rachel Maddow Show.
00:17:21.000Imagine if Rand Paul had been walking down the street and somebody had asked him a question about his position on the Civil Rights Act.
00:17:29.000And then imagine if Rand Paul had like grabbed somebody around the neck and started throwing punches at the camera.
00:17:36.000Do you think the media, the corporate media, would then just try and explain it away as a hog and a contrived set-up?
00:17:43.000Or would they politically lynch Rand Paul for weeks on end, as they did with the civil rights sphere?
00:18:01.000Not only because, you know, he's one of their own, but because his North Carolina congressional seat was seen as a safe bet.
00:18:09.000Now it's under threat from whichever anti-incumbent candidate wants to challenge him.
00:18:15.000We've seen the wave of success that anti-incumbent candidates have had over the past few months, opens the door in North Carolina for another one to step in and take advantage of the fact that Etheridge has been completely publicly disgraced and shamed by his shameful behaviour.
00:18:34.000But again, it's a sterling example of the fact that two college kids with a little flip camera can change the course of a state election.
00:18:45.000It's this kind of in-your-face political activism.
00:18:49.000The media smears it as ambush journalism, but, I mean, that's what they engage in on a routine basis.
00:18:55.000Uh, especially people like Chris Matthews and MSNBC, uh, when they're attacking grassroots Americans as, um, you know, domestic extremists and violent radicals.
00:19:05.000They engage in ambush questions and journalism but then they accuse the independent media of doing it.
00:19:12.000But, I mean, again it exemplifies the fact that When people like Etheridge are confronted, you know, by the rabble, by the independent media, by the people they're supposed to represent, that they react in this way which just shows how they view us, how they think of us, as basically dirt, and the fact that they're not public servants, they're overlords.
00:19:37.000So, the establishment is running scared in a blind panic because this just shows the power of alternative media and the internet to change the future course of the country in getting these anti-incumbent candidates in and kicking out the establishment.

00:26:19.000In the information war that we're now starting to see come to fruition, especially with the growth of the independent media, which is exemplified no better by this confrontation of the congressman which we were discussing before the break.
00:26:34.000But now we're going to move on to Afghanistan.
00:26:38.000Now, We've got a situation where polls at the moment are showing the maximum opposition to the occupation of Afghanistan since the invasion.
00:26:49.000We've just had one of the bloodiest weeks in the conflict, which is now, you know, nine years old.
00:26:55.000The UK is signalling that there could be a pull-out of troops.
00:27:01.000After, you know, more British troops died in the past couple of weeks.
00:27:05.000So lo and behold, the New York Times comes to the rescue.
00:27:09.000You know, the helpful progenitor of myths about weapons of mass destruction and yellow cake from Niger.
00:27:17.000You know, the New York Times, this big liberal newspaper that routinely supports the war, whether it's George W. Bush or Barack Obama in office, with this big announcement that they found a trillion dollars worth of gold, aluminium, copper, iron and other minerals in the mountains of Afghanistan, thus providing the perfect Justification and motivation for Obama to prolong the occupation.
00:27:42.000You know, Obama the peace candidate, the anti-war candidate, the candidate of change.
00:27:47.000More troops deployed, more US troops deployed than at any time during George W. Bush's presidency.
00:27:53.000That's a peace candidate, Barack Obama there.
00:27:57.000And if you just merely scratch the surface on research in this New announcement, they call it, of these vast mineral deposits in Afghanistan.
00:28:07.000You will know that it's basically As Raw Story calls it in their article, which is posted on PrisonPlanet.com, a PR scam designed to hoodwink Americans, as well as Afghan civilians, into thinking that they will ultimately somehow be the beneficiaries of all this.
00:28:26.000Just like, you know, we were told that Americans would reap the bounty of the Iraqi oil.
00:28:33.000And, uh, you know, this is nothing more than a contrived and regurgitated story.
00:28:39.000The Soviets, the Soviets knew as far back as 85 that Afghanistan contained these minerals 25 years ago.
00:28:50.000Geological Survey report said the same thing, that Afghanistan was rich with these minerals.
00:28:58.000People who were living in Kabul in the 70s, as is quoted in the Raw Story article, talked about how everybody knew about the fact that these deposits were in the mountains of Afghanistan.
00:29:08.000So we're talking about a story that's nearly 40 years old, and the New York Times reports it yesterday as if it's something new.
00:29:18.000Because the New York Times, the establishment media, basically they're just reaning off a Pentagon Press release, are desperate for some pro-war grist amidst this plethora of failures, that they're willing to recycle a story that's four decades old.
00:29:36.000And we'll continue to dig into this, and we'll get to your calls after the break.
00:31:54.000Secure your copy today at InfoWars.com or see it online in the highest quality at PrisonPlanet.tv Hello, this is Alex Jones with some important questions.
00:32:07.000If you're going into a battle and they give you a rifle and a sidearm, how much ammunition do you want?
00:33:25.000It's Paul Joseph Watson here on this Tuesday, June the 15th.
00:33:29.000There's a very strange breaking story about how General David Petraeus has basically collapsed during the Senate Armed Services Committee hearing today while discussing the war in Afghanistan.
00:33:43.000So that's an interesting breaking story that we'll certainly be posting up on PrisonPlanet.com.
00:33:50.000We were talking about Afghanistan before the break and the discovery of these, you know, the discovery, as if it didn't happen four decades ago, which it did, of these vast mineral deposits of gold, lithium, iron, copper, and others, and how they supposedly, you know, now represents a justification for maintaining the occupation of the country, of course.
00:34:13.000It's pro-war public relations stunt because we knew that Afghanistan contained these minerals as much as four decades ago.
00:34:23.000So the fact that they're now bringing it out in the midst of all this Failure surrounding the surge, the potential pullout of UK troops, polls showing massive opposition, greater than ever, to the Afghanistan war pretty much tells you why they're doing it and why it came out of the New York Times.
00:34:44.000It's a PR stunt designed to try and rally Americans around supporting the idea That the troops under Obama, the anti-war candidate who now has more troops deployed than George W. Bush ever did, should keep them in Afghanistan for another decade and beyond.
00:36:02.000The attacks on the Second Amendment and the fact that rights are inalienable, you know, God-given, is apparent on a daily basis.
00:36:11.000And we have the growth of this statist mindset with a welfare state, especially in Europe, whereby government affords people their rights and they're not natural rights.
00:36:23.000And that's obviously, as he mentioned, purely so that government can then take away those rights at a late stage, which is why now with the growth of global governance they're trying to make us acquiesce under this UN Charter which the UN affords us those rights and the UN can take them away when every man is born free and rights are God-given, as is outlined not only in the Constitution but Hey, um, yeah, sorry, I'm a little nervous.
00:37:36.000It's at 10:37 a.m. YouTube it, do whatever, find it. - So you're saying that Obama said that the accident was caused as a result of a training exercise, presumably based around how they would react to an oil spill.
00:37:55.000And you're saying that this was an exercise that quote, "went wrong." Is that what Obama's claiming now?
00:38:30.000Okay, well, I'll do a quick Google search and we'll definitely delve into it after the break, if that's accurate.
00:38:38.000Which, if it is, then is a massive story.
00:38:41.000We know Tony Hayward, the BP oil chief, sold his stock in BP immediately before the disaster.
00:38:49.000Goldman Sachs, which is now headed by Peter Sutherland, who was a former CEO of BP, Dumped millions of dollars worth of stock before the accident there were these Unusual alterations to the hydraulic equipment that occurred right before the accident happened.
00:39:09.000So we had all these indicators of at least foreknowledge.
00:39:13.000And if now that they were running exercises based around the premise of an oil spill right before this happened, then that is a massive smoking gun.
00:39:21.000Because of course, as we saw with 9-11 and 7-7, the London bombings, The simulation and exercise surrounding real world events gives them culpable deniability for if any evidence occurs which points to sabotage.
00:39:39.000So that would be a massive story and we'll definitely check into that just after the next break.
00:39:51.000Yeah, I was watching CNN this morning and there were signs of businesses on the coast and it was saying, Mr. President, waive the Jones Act and implement FEMA.
00:40:02.000Now, I'm obviously familiar with FEMA.
00:40:03.000I was just wondering if you knew, what are they talking about by waiving the Jones Act?
00:40:09.000The Jones Act, I'm not sure, I haven't heard about that one.
00:40:14.000There's a story here out of the Miami Herald.
00:40:17.000Florida Republicans ask Obama to waive Jones Act, and that's being reported by the Associated Press.
00:40:28.000Representative Jeff Miller want President Barack Obama to waive a law they say is keeping foreign oil skimmers out of the Gulf of Mexico.
00:40:37.000The Florida Republican sent a letter to Obama on Monday and planned to discuss the issue with him Tuesday during the President's visit to Pensacola.
00:40:47.000And the Jones Act, according to this article, bars foreign ships from carrying cargo and passengers between foreign ports.
00:40:57.000Basically, it's another method of trying to keep people out of the area, I presume.
00:41:01.000Now, we know that they're keeping the media out of the area, and that's very suspicious, to say the least.
00:41:07.000So, yeah, it shows that they're very keen to keep foreigners out of the area, and the US media as well.
00:41:18.000We're going to go to Gary in Grand Isle in New Orleans.
00:41:26.000I just wanted to kind of give everyone a live report of what's going on in Grand Island.
00:41:30.000Last week I was here and there was much more activity going on as far as the local people were concerned, but now I've come back a week later and it's basically a deserted island where there's only camouflaged colored trucks.
00:41:46.000There's Homeland Security trucks, you know, like regular white pickups all over.
00:41:53.000Um, corporations here, if you go on the beach, you're watched at all times, and you're not allowed to get close to the boom, and people will just come approach you, and there's just basically security up and down the beach, and there's four-wheelers just every few minutes want to go by, and you'll see some sort of strange-looking military truck go by, and it seems like a lot of activity, but not that much cleanup, because the only people cleaning up seems to be people from Jamaica,
00:42:21.000And, um, the Philippines, and they just kind of walk along with these little bitty bags, and they'll take a tiny shovel, scoop it up, and, um, the, uh, president of Parkland's Parish, Billy Nungaster, said that the locals are actually going out and getting their own shop back, and just going out and cleaning it up themselves, where they're just using five-gallon buckets.
00:42:42.000And, um, there's just one other thing I wanted to comment on.
00:42:45.000Lastly, I'd like for you to explain to me what I heard.
00:42:50.000And the House of Commons actually stated that they needed to make sure that the cleanup remained global.
00:42:59.000And can you explain to me what that means?
00:43:02.000I think basically what that means, I mean, as you just mentioned, you've got a federal takeover.
00:43:08.000In my mind, from everything I've seen, and this is backed up by locals who live in the affected areas, the cleanup crews, the local cleanup authorities, are not being allowed to do their jobs.
00:43:21.000And this is an exact replica of what happened after Hurricane Katrina, where The local authorities were trying to fix the problem, but the Feds, FEMA especially, as you just mentioned, were actually sabotaging the attempt to clean up the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and get things back online.
00:43:45.000Common throughout eyewitness reports in the area that the federal takeover is basically nothing more than a police or a law enforcement response on the federal level.
00:43:56.000It's not even an intent to fix the problem or to clean up the oil from the beaches.
00:44:01.000It's just about keeping people out of the area and preventing local authorities who could be doing their job in cleaning up what they can from Having any successful or positive impact on the drastic situation that has affected the area.
00:44:17.000Obama said, as soon as the accident occurred, that he would be sending SWAT teams to the area.
00:44:22.000So, just as under George W. Bush, we're seeing an exact same response as with the Hurricane Katrina event.
00:44:29.000And it seems like they want the crisis to get worse and worse.
00:44:33.000Because Obama, in an email he sent out yesterday, said that this is an attempt to Get the green economy back on track.
00:44:43.000Get the cap-and-trade, the carbon tax, back on track, which has been derailed recently.
00:44:49.000So, from everything you said, and especially if now we're learning that this was aftermath of some kind of exercise then, very suspicious goings-on.
00:45:00.000We're going to go to our next caller now, which is Jane in Ontario.
00:45:18.000Um, the anchor referred to the students as cameramen rather than students, which suggests that they're mature professionals rather than the young students that they actually are.
00:45:34.000That's what Chris Matthews said as well.
00:45:36.000They're basically trying to smear the people, these college kids who are asking the question, as Republican plants.
00:45:45.000And this is an effort to take attention away from the insane, aggressive and bizarre and emblematic of thugs and people on an ego power trip.
00:45:55.000Um, which is exactly what Etheridge was engaged in at the time.
00:45:58.000Um, so yeah, they're trying to undermine the people who ask the question and shift the blame and shift the focus of the story, which is what the White House, the government memo, told them to do, and they clicked their heels, uh, and immediately did it, especially MSNBC with Chris Matthews.
00:46:13.000Um, Mike in Louisiana, Mike, you're on the air, go ahead.
00:46:17.000Hey Paul, listen I know you guys do a great job over there of investigative reporting and I want to let you know what I found out talking to a fellow that was very deeply engaged in the oil field business for 30 years and was aware of and actually spoke to one of the CEOs of one of the neighboring leaseholders to the OLBP Deepwater Horizon area and he related to me that
00:46:43.000And you guys, I guess, with your abilities, maybe can check this out, but the head of the Deepwater Oil Rig only had about five days' experience before this all happened.
00:46:54.000So, you know, for such a valuable asset, it's interesting that BP would throw a rookie in charge and think that they would get some other outcome other than complete and utter human error, you know?
00:47:12.000And one other thing to nexus through this which is interesting is that the flood insurance program has not been refunded yet.
00:47:18.000The money hasn't been reallocated to get that going.
00:47:22.000So a lot of the loan closings in this area and around that have been needing flood insurance.
00:47:29.000Lenders or insurance agents have been writing it, but basically on the good faith that retroactively they'll be funded once Congress actually appropriates the money.
00:47:40.000So I find it kind of interesting that we've kind of got these things going on at the same time and Congress just quote-unquote hasn't been able to get their act together and get it funded.
00:47:51.000Yeah, well, on the first point, I mean, you're saying that they threw this rookie in just five days before the accident happened.
00:47:58.000We had the story last week where, um, the Houston attorney, Tony Busby, um, said that the Deepwater Horizon managers knew that the, not only did the oil rig have problems before the explosion, um, but People were actually on board the ship as it was, um, burning after the explosion happened, saying, quote, Are you effing happy?
00:48:25.000So, the people on board the rig knew that it had problems and that, you know, the safety procedures were out of whack.
00:48:33.000They were not being followed properly.
00:48:35.000And at every single stage of this BP story, it seems that, um, in the initial stage, they Wanted the explosion to happen, they financially positioned themselves beforehand for it to happen, and now with the absolute sinking of BP stocks these people have protected themselves because they sold the stocks right before the accident happened.
00:48:57.000And then in the aftermath of the accident, The federal government is preventing local authorities from effectively cleaning up the spill and the beaches around the area that it affects.
00:49:09.000So at every stage of this story, both before, during and after, it seems they want to make it worse and that indeed they had foreknowledge that it would occur in the first place.
00:49:22.000And now Obama's come out with this email promoting this nightmare green economy, which was derailed, basically, before the accident, and is now back on track.
00:49:33.000The cap and trade, the carbon tax, in the name of reducing our dependence on oil.
00:49:39.000We know the effect that this has had with Spain, who instituted these green economy measures Two years ago, now Spain has a 20% unemployment rate.
00:49:52.000Because for every, quote, green job that's created, 2.2 jobs are lost.
00:50:00.000This is the post-industrial revolution that the globalists won.
00:50:04.000And whether this was contrived or whether it was just an accident, the BP oil spill has fundamentally advanced the globalist agenda to create artificial scarcity, this idea that we have to completely eviscerate the oil industry and, you know, move to this green economy, and they're making the situation worse with their every action.
00:50:31.000And to me, I mean, the fact that BP put out the camera footage of the oil spill, where you see it emerging from the well, and then they announced, oh, now it's in HD!
00:50:46.000So BP's putting out this footage, which makes everyone focus on how bad the problem is.
00:50:51.000And they're only promoting how bad the problem is.
00:50:54.000So there's an agenda to hype this and make it appear bad, along with all the foreknowledge that they were involved in it happening.
00:51:01.000So we'll explore this further after the break with more callers.

00:51:52.000The question is where should the American people draw their line in the sand?
00:53:26.000Executive Order 10-990 locks down all highways.
00:53:31.000Executive Order 10-995 seizes control of all media outlets.
00:53:36.000Executive Order 10-998 controls all farms and food supplies.
00:53:40.000All these executive orders are now cocked, loaded, and waiting for the right crisis.

00:54:49.000A lot of Noam Chomsky and that led me to find David Barsamian and when I found Barsamian I found a great interview with he and Ralph Nader and I was really struck because the interview they were basically saying the same things that you and Alex say all the time.
00:55:09.000So my question for you is, where's the marriage between these respected, renowned, eloquent individuals and the Truth or Communities, specifically the Infowars community?
00:55:22.000Um, Noam Chomsky, and I mean, I started off reading Chomsky when I first started, you know, getting aware of how the world works, you know, ten, twelve years ago.
00:55:34.000But everything that Chomsky's done, certainly in the past five or six years, has been completely to the detriment of the, you know, quote, truth of community or patriot community.
00:55:45.000I mean, he was asked about 9-11 and asked whether he thought 9-11 was an inside job or merely that the official story was, um, Not as the government would have us believe.
00:55:58.000And Chomsky responded basically that he didn't care.
00:56:01.000And for me, that was a damning indictment of the fact that Chomsky is not only in 2010 not relevant but Many have claimed that he's merely, you know, a deep cover operative.
00:57:04.000It seems these days that a lot of people are acting like thugs, or elected officials, or people within the federal government, and even the BP executives, so corporate and everything.
00:57:19.000It seems like the only ones that aren't acting like thugs at this time are the real patriots of this country.
00:57:25.000But what I wanted to ask you about, Paul, was you had a great article on the false flag, the oil spill leaning towards a false flag.
00:57:34.000But I read somewhere, and I can't remember where I read it, that the owner of the oil rig was set to collect, or was going to collect, 200 and some million dollars, twice what the oil rig was worth.
00:57:48.000I was just wondering if, in your research, if you had ran across any of that or confirmed anything about that?
00:57:55.000Yeah, I think I came across that, um, a few days ago.
00:57:58.000It wasn't in the original article I wrote, but, uh, yeah, I'll definitely dig into it.
00:58:03.000Uh, what's confirmed is the fact that Goldman Sachs, uh, sold their stock in BP before this happened, that Tony Hayward, the CEO of BP, sold his stock before that.
00:58:12.000So, there were numerous financial, uh, agendas and motivations at work.
00:58:17.000And what I find interesting is this idea that, um, the oil in that region is naturally replenishing, that it's abiotic.
00:58:24.000So if that's true, the so-called relief wells that they're now putting in are going to have no effect whatsoever.
00:58:30.000And as many experts are predicting, this could drag on for years.
