In this episode of the Alex Jones Show, host Alex Jones is joined by award-winning investigative journalist Greg Pallast, who has just been named by a major publication in England as the greatest investigative journalist of all time. Greg has been doing it for decades, and he exposes the Republicans and the Democrats for their criminal activities. And he s going to break some major news stories here on the show today.
00:00:16.000All right, my friends, I'm Alex Jones, your host, coming to you live from Austin, Texas.
00:00:21.000And we're joined by award-winning investigative journalist, Greg Pallast of the BBC,
00:00:27.000who has just been named by a major publication in England as the greatest investigative journalist of all time.
00:00:33.000He's been doing it for decades, and he exposes the Republicans and the Democrats for their criminal activities, and he's going to break some major news stories here on the show today.
00:00:45.000And I assure you, we'll get a transcript of it and post it by the end of the week on InfoWars.com.
00:00:53.000Joining us from the radio studios there in Houston is Gregg Powless, joining us for a full hour.
00:00:59.000Gregg, great to have you back on the show.
00:01:03.000You are the bit of light that's breaking through the electronic Berlin Wall.
00:01:08.000For those who don't know me, I report for BBC Television, which is the major news outlet of the world, except it doesn't come into the U.S., my reports.
00:02:18.000And Greg, I'm not trying to toot my horn or your horn, but the example of what one person can do, people say, well, what can I do?
00:02:25.000Whoever leaked the Patriot Act to the Justice Department is causing them big problems.
00:02:30.000The person that, one of our listeners that made a transcript, when you were on the show back on March 4th, that was published in hundreds of newspapers, translated into all these languages.
00:02:40.000It shows what the alternative media can do.
00:02:44.000Well, I have to say, I was back in March, I was on your program, and I broke the fact that I had obtained a series of documents marked secret and confidential from inside the IMF.
00:02:56.000And the World Bank, which basically, nation by nation, laid out plans for reorganizing these nations' economies.
00:03:03.000They are basically plans for financial coup d'etat in places like Argentina, Bolivia, Tanzania.
00:03:09.000And needless to say, those are plans which benefited a few New York financiers and a few corporations to their benefit.
00:03:18.000And the plan detailed how to blow out economies, cause riots, take over the government, and install a new government.
00:03:24.000And I have to say that our interview ran on the front page of papers in Turkey, Argentina.
00:03:31.000In fact, it's been translated in something like 40 languages.
00:03:35.000And I have to tell you that finally the mainstream press is catching up because it's been a year since that broadcast, but this month's Harper's Magazine, which is of course one of the great voices Of New York establishments.
00:05:08.000through this investigation before september eleventh we have a document
00:05:11.000showing the investigations were were uh... some of them were
00:05:14.000uh... political for beginning september thirteenth two thousand
00:05:18.000And I have to say, you know, I'm not saying, I don't know whether George Bush had any knowledge or pre-knowledge of September 11th or any of that, but what I was investigating, though, was why were the intelligence agencies told to stay away?
00:05:33.000And now I want to give you a piece of information, Alex, which some of it's in the new book and some of it just will be on your show for the first time today.
00:05:41.000One of the things I was very concerned about, BBC learned about from two completely separate sources about a meeting in June of 1996 in Paris between Saudi Arabian billionaires, international arms dealers, and the finance arm of Al-Qaeda.
00:05:58.000And there was a discussion about how much the Saudis would pay to Al-Qaeda and these other so-called charities.
00:06:04.000that were really fronts for terrorist organizations.
00:06:06.000The idea was that the Saudis were going to pay off these guys to get out of Saudi Arabia.
00:06:11.000That was the month that 19 American servicemen were killed in Saudi Arabia when Al-Qaeda blew up the Khobar Towers.
00:06:21.000So the Saudis, rather than go after these guys, said, well we'll write them a big check and tell them to go play in Afghanistan.
00:06:27.000And I was wondering why the intelligence agents were not free We're not free by the Bush administration to really go after that source of funding.
00:06:36.000You know, the old rule of investigation is follow the money.
00:06:38.000If you can't look at Osama Bin Laden's piggy bank, and you can't check out a checking account, you're not going to know what he's up to.
00:06:46.000So I found out who was at the meeting.
00:06:49.000And one guy at the meeting, according to two separate sources, is a Saudi rich Saudi named Sheikh Abdullah Baksh. B-A-K-S-H
00:06:57.000is usually how it's spelled in English.
00:06:59.000And he was involved in Harkin in the 70s.
00:07:02.000Boy, you've got a good memory. You know exactly where it comes from.
00:07:06.000This guy was supposedly in this meeting about funding al-Qaeda and what we also know is that
00:07:13.000when George W. Bush was in the oil business, he...
00:07:17.000He made millions in the oil business, though he never struck oil, but he seemed to strike the pockets of several Saudi sheikhs.
00:07:23.000Every time he had an oil venture going south, he had one called Arbusto, then another called Spectrum.
00:07:28.000Finally, those were bought up by Harkin Oil.
00:07:32.000A Gulf sheikh would come in and put up the money to pull George W. out of the financial fire.
00:07:40.000And it was Abdullah Sheikh, Sheikh Abdullah Bakhsh, who was the big money helping to refinance Harken Oil and save George W. from basically from bankruptcy in the oil business.
00:07:52.000And so this is the guy, this is George, you know when our president says there are thousands of people out there trying to kill us and people supporting terror, he might want to look at some of his own business partners.
00:08:02.000Now isn't he one of the richest people in Saudi Arabia and also bin Laden's older brother was involved in it too right here in Texas.
00:08:09.000Well, you know, we did have... I haven't been able to get the information on the Texas story.
00:08:14.000You may have more information on that.
00:08:15.000What I was concerned about is that there are two members of the Bin Laden family in Washington, D.C., in Virginia Falls, which overlooks the Pentagon.
00:08:30.000Now, we have to be careful, there's lots of Abdullahs and there's lots of Omar Bin Ladens.
00:08:33.000The guy had 52... Osama had 52 brothers and sisters, so, you know, it's quite a family.
00:08:39.000So not all of them, just because they're named Bin Laden or even Abdullah, are suspects.
00:08:43.000But these two guys, and you had this on your program, because this was from the FBI document 199-I, which is a national security secret document, which agents basically dropped off for us.
00:08:54.000Because they were upset that they couldn't investigate these guys.
00:08:58.000And they were fronting an organization called Whammy.
00:09:01.000And, which sounds very nice, the World Assembly of Muslim Youth, you know, and they do actually support, like, little baseball teams and basketball teams and that type of thing.
00:09:09.000But, I saw some of their films of their training camp for kids.
00:09:14.000It was basically recruitment for suicide bombings, recruitment for jihad.
00:09:20.000This is going on in Florida, by the way.
00:09:22.000And now it turns out that a member of this organization, headed by, at one point, by Bin Laden, And by the Saudi Royal Family.
00:09:32.000Turns out to be the conduit for the tapes from Osama Bin Laden to Al Jazeera television.
00:09:37.000The guy was just arrested in Somalia from Whammy.
00:09:42.000This is the organization that the FBI wanted to investigate and they were told, back off.
00:09:47.000And what we have to be concerned about is whether... I'm very concerned whether the Bush family's finances are prejudicing their view of how to conduct foreign policy and how to handle the intelligence community.
00:10:02.000Well, in early 2001, Wall Street Journal called for the Bushes to get out of the Carlisle Group.
00:10:07.000Yes, for those who don't know, and if you've been listening to Alex, I'm sure you do know, the Bin Laden family is one of the funders of the Carlisle Group.
00:10:15.000This is one of the problems you run into with many things.
00:10:18.000You were talking about the Homeland Security and USA Patriot Act.
00:10:22.000One other thing that's coming out in the book, and by the way, if you don't mind me mentioning the book out today, it's the best democracy money can buy, acknowledging the great work of Alex Jones.
00:11:17.000Well, Teddy Roosevelt said that was the definition of being patriotic.
00:11:21.000Well, you know, when you talk about Homeland Security and keeping track of your private finances, whether you own a legal weapon, etc., who is the company making the money off this?
00:11:34.000Forbes Magazine says that we don't know who's lost the war on terror, but we sure know who's won.
00:11:42.000And you'll find this in the book, which is the best democracy money can buy.
00:11:46.000And what's interesting about Choice Point, if you remember, I broke a story in BBC, which Alex, you also mentioned, that before the Florida election of 2000, before the presidential election, Catherine Harris and Jeb Bush knocked off 57,000 legal voters off the voter rolls.
00:12:03.000Um, and it turns out that most of them were black.
00:12:05.000It's not that they had prejudice against black.
00:12:06.000They didn't like the fact that they're the color of black voters, which is generally vote Democratic.
00:12:12.000And, um, who gave them this list of voters?
00:12:15.000Supposedly they were knocked off because they were felons and evildoers who were not allowed to vote in Florida.
00:12:20.000Well, it turns out all those people, 90.2% of the people on that list were innocent.
00:12:48.000There's a company called Bode Technologies.
00:12:51.000Which has been getting a lot of good airplay because they supposedly find all the kiddies who you see their pictures on the milk cartons, missing children.
00:12:58.000They try to use DNA samples to find the missing kids.
00:13:04.000And they encourage you to send them, you know, your blood and your DNA and your hair and all that in case your kid gets lost.
00:13:09.000What they should tell you is that this company, Bode Technologies, is also the biggest contractor to the FBI for supplying their DNA CODIS.
00:13:18.000Well, that even said, I had one of these individuals connected to the group on the show who had pushed back in the early 90s for a federal law that we all have to give DNA at birth and now it's come out that a lot of those healed blood tests they've been doing, most of the states have now been caught, but they keep doing it.
00:13:36.000They go, oh, it's a blood test for your baby.
00:13:38.000They take three ampoules, one goes to the health department, which is for the blood test, one goes to the state, and one to the feds.
00:13:45.000They've got illegal DNA databases, and again, this is just being done, and it's always shadowy, you know, slash CIA front companies involved in it, as you just mentioned.
00:13:56.000Well, in fact, this company, Bode Technologies, is 100% owned subsidiary of the company that made Bush president, Choice Point, the same I mean, for picking our president, they've done very well for themselves.
00:14:08.000While the rest of the stock market's going down the tubes, this company is rising.
00:14:42.000but what have to ask when you have fifteen of nineteen hijackers coming from
00:14:45.000saudi arabia what's really going on here
00:14:49.000I'm very concerned, and I have to tell you, I spoke to agents, FBI agents, CIA agents, and you know, some of them, you know, those are agencies which have done some pretty strange things that we wish they hadn't done, but there's a lot of guys in there who are really trying to protect America, and not one of them... That's why we're getting all these leaks now.
00:15:07.000That's right, they're leaking it out, because you know, and not one of them said, Alex, if we didn't have the Bill of Rights, We could have gotten these guys.
00:15:14.000if we didn't have personal freedom we could have gotten this guy in.
00:15:18.000Ashcroft and others and George Will are now saying exactly that while they leave the borders wide open.
00:15:23.000Greg, let me, just for a second, because I know you've got some other news you want to break here and we're honored to
00:15:27.000Bill Moyers reported on something that MSNBC, that the New Yorker magazine, Fox just mentioned a year ago,
00:15:34.000that as Kunduz and Kandahar were falling, then it was 6,000, now it's upwards of 8,000.
00:15:40.000cream of the crop al-qaeda and taliban loaded on government aircraft with ISI flown out to safety, and we know that the Republican Senate report in 1999 said that Al-Qaeda was being funded by Clinton, that means the CIA, to attack the Serbs to start that war.
00:15:58.000And so here we have the government flying them out, and Bill Moyers, I read part of his transcript yesterday, well they did fly them out, it's just an accident.
00:16:07.000You start connecting all this together.
00:16:57.000I just provide the dots, you can make the connection.
00:16:59.000One of the reasons why I believe that the bin Laden connection to this terrorist organization was not hunted down before September 11th.
00:17:08.000Our terrorist front organization, or recruiting organization, however you want to call it, is that, as you said, it started really with the Daddy Bush administration and carried through the Clinton administration.
00:17:19.000Well, what about Larry Klayman got up on national TV and said, we can't tell you what we know, here's a letter threatening to arrest us, he had Robert Wright, the FBI agent, and then he added to all of this, so the Bushes, by the way, vacation with the Bin Laden, that's all I can say.
00:18:44.000Greg Pallas' website that we have a link to is gregpallas.com.
00:18:47.000He has a best-selling book, The Best Democracy Money Can Buy, and all this talk about the loving world government, the democracy.
00:18:55.000It's bad enough we need a constitutional republic, but they're just calling pure tyranny their loving world democracy.
00:19:03.000And Greg's got a bunch of other bombshell news stories, latest developments to drop on us, and we're honored to have him here with us today.
00:19:12.000Greg Palast, continuing with the information.
00:19:19.000Like you say, the book just came out today, The Best Democracy Money Can Buy, The Hardbound, I think it hit the New York Times Best Seller list because of Alex Jones, because so many of the listeners decided that they needed this information.
00:20:35.000and the idea was we give saddam the bomb so he could shake it at the iranians we
00:20:40.000didn't care if you had a bomb that berserker you know that is very interesting so
00:20:44.000that's in the book by the way i want that information rumsfeld just one of the black man
00:20:50.000for that sarin the v_x_ the west nile the anthrax
00:20:54.000the botulism for six months over there
00:20:57.000He also was involved on the board of ABB, transferring nuclear reactors that can produce 100 warheads a year, that we now learn, to North Korea.
00:21:07.000Well, yeah, it's kind of all war all the time, economy, hoping that that will save our economy.
00:21:12.000saddam or a story aga it's always somebody they are and then we gotta have
00:21:17.000our kids march off to death in in this world war three when bush says it's a
00:21:21.000new hundred-year war well yeah it's kind of all war all the time economy hoping
00:21:26.000that that will save our economy and you know some of the goofy things that
00:21:30.000they're doing for example one of the big projects our government is now busting
00:21:37.000the budget to order three dozen Virginia-class nuclear submarines
00:21:42.000These were supposed to attack Soviet subs.
00:22:22.000I want to get back into the World Bank, the IMF, because when you were on this show March 4th, you said there's going to be a coup in the next month, and there was an attempted coup two weeks later, actually a week and a half later.
00:22:33.000I want to talk about the World Bank, IMF, how they brag of how they're going to destroy all these economies, how they institute the police state, who's really behind all this.
00:22:41.000It's all coming up and your calls, second hour.
00:22:44.000i'm out with the other part of the drug palestine for dot com
00:23:25.000This is his exposure of Inside Documents from Inside the New World Order will be featured in this month's Harper's Magazine.
00:23:32.000And then we have the New York Times last week, Richard Bernstein, Nations Seek World Order centered on UN, not US.
00:23:39.000And it says the meeting was saturated by the World Bank with the heads of Europe.
00:23:44.000The meeting was saturated with a commitment to what may be viewed as a form of world government, the supervision of countries by international civil service bureaucracy.
00:23:53.000And this is all run by the World Bank and the IMF, and it's not freedom-loving, it's tyranny-loving.
00:23:59.000It's the new empire, it's not about left or right, it's about organized crime syndicates.
00:24:05.000Ladies and gentlemen, and joining us is Greg Hallast, who was just talking about confirmed connections with the Bin Laden family and the Bushes, with the WAMY group being protected in these meetings in the late 1990s, and then Bush protecting these people as well as Clinton doing it, and how all this ties together, and now how the military-industrial complex is winning the war on terror, that is, winning the profits.
00:24:35.000Uh, the hundreds of millions of dollars of profits, they say it'll be a 1.7 to 1.9 trillion dollars!
00:24:44.0001.7 to 1.9 trillion dollar, five-year occupation and war cost in Iraq.
00:24:48.000Greg Powell, getting back into the latest revelations on the IMF World Bank documents, they never deny that you got those from a secret source.
00:24:56.000They just tried to spin it, but it has caused a firestorm.
00:25:00.000How are they dealing with this now that the evidence came out that they were orchestrating the implosion of economies?
00:25:05.000Well, what they're doing is once again saying that I'm a conspiracy.
00:25:11.000I always think it gives the conspirators a good laugh.
00:25:18.000What's happened is they have a problem in that they vilified me and they vilified the guy who interpreted the documents.
00:25:24.000He didn't hand me the documents, but he interpreted them.
00:25:26.000The former chief economist of the World Bank, he knew that these documents were authentic.
00:25:33.000And his name is Joe Stiglitz, and they got a problem because they were vilifying him as a nutcase and an evil guy, and then he just won the Nobel Prize in Economics.
00:25:40.000So this is a Nobel Prize winner who said, Alex, that the information we had was authentic.
00:25:45.000What these are is documents about, some of them are called nicely, politely, country
00:25:50.000assistance plans, but they direct these nations to give up their resources.
00:25:55.000For example, in the nation of Ecuador it says that this country could receive no international
00:26:00.000funds, and just like if you can't go to the bank to get a mortgage, you can't get a house,
00:26:05.000they were going to cut off their finance unless they met certain what they called conditionalities.
00:26:09.000One of the conditionalities was that a permit be given to British Petroleum for a pipeline
00:26:16.000over the Andes, and that they give their gas to British Petroleum.
00:26:19.000In the case of Argentina, they required the nation to give up its water systems to guess
00:27:12.000And the guy from, the public works minister in Argentina was horrified because Enron was only going to pay one-fifth of the world price for this stuff.
00:27:21.000What was the Bush family doing getting involved in that?
00:27:24.000It's amazing, it's criminal, and on top of it, the World Bank IMF documents also state how their actions, grabbing the water, the roads, the fuel, the forest, will cause riots, and how that's good, because then they get to crack down even more.
00:27:38.000We'll be right back in three minutes with Greg Palast to launch into some of the latest revelations about the IMF-World Bank takeover.
00:27:44.000Now it's finally breaking in the mainstream news, then your calls.
00:27:47.000He's the T-Rex of political talk, Alex Jones, on the GCN Radio Network.
00:27:54.000The organization the FBI was blocked from investigating by Clinton and Bush was headed by the U.S.
00:28:02.000bin Laden family is now unquestionably tied to terrorism.
00:28:07.000The new book is the best democracy money can buy.
00:28:09.000It's already a bestseller and now it's in paperback twice the size with a lot of added information coming out in paperback today around the country.
00:28:16.000We're joined by Greg Palast and coming up in a few minutes we're going to go to your calls, John and Jan and others that are patiently holding the toll-free number to join us on air nationwide is 1-800-259-9231.
00:28:26.000one eight hundred two five nine nine two three one reactor
00:28:32.000uh... palestinian back into the i_m_f_ world bank you detail in our interview
00:28:37.000march four there would be a coup guaranteed you said you don't
00:28:41.000again go out on land you've always got to have a documentation how did you know
00:28:45.000there'd be a crew in the military grabbed me was about to have an accident and suddenly there were riots
00:29:53.000And then now, and then also the story about the World Bank.
00:29:56.000As you know, I went through the documents from the World Bank, Mark's Secret, and one of the things it had in there, it said, well, if we go ahead with these plans, we know, for example, in the case of Ecuador, it says right in the plan, if we go ahead and require you to double the price of cooking gas in Ecuador, because that's the only way you can cook your food in Ecuador, is with bottled gas.
00:30:16.000So this is like, you know, life and death food out in people's mouths.
00:30:19.000If you increase the price of food, you increase the price of gasoline, you increase the price of cooking gas, we know that this will create That's what they call social unrest.
00:30:27.000And when they did that, of course, the social unrest, what they mean by social unrest, I wasn't quite sure.
00:30:31.000I said, it looks like they think that there's going to be a riot if they impose these plans, and they know it.
00:30:36.000And Joe Stiglitz, who's the chief economist for the World Bank, so he was the guy on the inside, he says, oh yeah, that's what we call the IMF riot.
00:30:44.000The riot was written into the plan, and then it says that the government has to respond with With political resolve and strong resolve, they keep using that term.
00:31:02.000They create the climate to create the disaster to offer a police state solution and then before that they don't want this Venezuelan crude coming into the country to keep prices down.
00:31:13.000They want a staged war where they'll make massive profits on increased gas prices.
00:31:22.000Well, you know what's happening is that also Hugo Chavez, the president of Venezuela, has been vilified by the liberal press, by the right press, the establishment press.
00:31:32.000He's a guy who just says, look, we're poor brown people down here, and we need a few extra bucks.
00:31:38.000And he's, as his minister told me, he's the dissenter from the New World Order, and they can't let him stay in office.
00:31:45.000I have to kill him. They have to get rid of him now because he said no to these plans.
00:31:51.000The IMF comes to you and the World Bank guys, they fly in their teams, they stay at the
00:31:54.000big intercontinental hotels and the five star hotels and then they dictate their plans an
00:31:59.000average of 114 conditions, an average, to each nation's finance minister. And they have
00:32:05.000a pre-written document with a place for his signature.
00:32:42.000And while they cut salaries, people couldn't afford it.
00:32:45.000The taxes were bigger than their salaries, so they rioted.
00:32:48.000But the IMF knew there was going to be a riot.
00:32:49.000Like you say, riots have their value because then that allows the reaction.
00:32:54.000We've caught them at demonstrations here, the feds in Seattle hiring provocateurs,
00:33:00.000housing them, so sometimes they provocateur it as well.
00:33:04.000But people in the third world are starting to get wind of this because of your writings and work and because of the transcripts that went worldwide and in hundreds of newspapers as you said.
00:33:15.000The thing that folks have to understand here is they're doing it here in another fashion, and they're telling police, and I'm getting this all over the country, Greg, that they're going to engineer a major financial implosion here, and that they've been issuing riot gear and riot training, and I'm not kidding, Humvees with microwave guns, And the Sunshine Project reported helicopters with knockout gas.
00:33:40.000I mean, it is an insane police state they're setting up for an engineer collapse here.
00:33:45.000Are you getting that from your sources?
00:33:48.000What I'm getting is, I haven't looked at the police side of it.
00:33:51.000What I'm looking at is the intelligence side.
00:33:53.000What's breaking down now, for example, I talked about the company getting the DNA samples.
00:33:57.000They say, well, we don't, this is private, we don't turn it over to government.
00:34:00.000Choice Point, the company that fix the election in Florida, says we have 20 billion pieces
00:34:05.000of data on Americans, and that is supposed to be private data, but under the USA
00:34:10.000Patriot Act, every little bit of that information is suddenly opened without a search warrant for
00:34:15.000the first time in American history, without a search warrant.
00:34:18.000That gives liability protection to the companies doing the DNA and other data mining.
00:34:23.000Yeah, and so this data mining, which is done without search warrants.
00:34:27.000They can go through your private records now for the very first time.
00:34:29.000So when these companies say it's all private, no it ain't.
00:35:16.000Yeah, so what's happened is that this is the guy in charge.
00:35:18.000The company Syntec, which is getting the big contracts to do the data mining on Americans, Was the Senior Vice President until recently was John Poindexter, the guy in charge of Total Information Awareness.
00:35:31.000These guys are like building each other their own companies.
00:35:35.000Greg, have you read the new Patriot Act?
00:35:41.000I wrote an analysis on InfoWars.com if you want to pick it up on your site so all of your millions of viewers can distribute it.
00:35:50.000I've read the whole thing and it's been picked up by quite a few papers have asked for permission to reprint.
00:35:54.000I read it when it first came out three weeks ago.
00:35:58.000It turned out there was a Senate version, S-22, already introduced.
00:36:01.000And so now Ashcroft and his minions are out promoting it.
00:36:05.000This thing says that they can grab American citizens for any reason, secretly, hold them in detention camps, and not even tell anyone that they were grabbed.
00:36:15.000In fact, you know, there's an organization which sued the U.S.
00:36:18.000government and simply asked for a list of people being held in detention.
00:36:21.000Not even asking for open trial, simply asking for the list of those who were held in detention.
00:36:26.000And, you know, the government has just dragged its feet.
00:36:28.000I mean, you know, I'm very concerned that there are two things.
00:36:33.000One, like I say, there are those people who are connected financially to the Bush family who seem to be getting a nice free ride on investigations, and yet they're Americans.
00:36:42.000We don't know who they are, because we can't get the list.
00:36:47.000I know you are, and it's just a personal question of, you know, our civil liberties.
00:36:51.000I've just moved... I have had to report these stories on BBC television, which goes all over the planet.
00:36:57.000But I've just moved my family back to the United States.
00:36:59.000I want my kids to be Americans, but I want them to have an America that, you know, I learned about in school, you know, freedom of speech and, you know, the government, you know, doesn't snoop around your home or your bank accounts or go into your underwear drawer.
00:37:11.000Well, I just want to point out, they're saying all this, they're saying more attacks are coming, and that will generalize Patriot Act 2.
00:37:17.000Now we're hearing about Patriot Act 3.
00:37:20.000And while they leave the borders wide open, Greg, let's take some calls.
00:37:23.000John in Florida, you're on the air with Greg Powell.
00:37:31.000My question is going to be directed to something that happened many years ago, but Greg, maybe you can give some light on this, is what happened to the Well, Clark Clifford, the author of the National Security Act that made the government go secret, I've talked to Greg.
00:38:21.000And the Bushes and everybody were involved.
00:38:23.000Well, Khalid Bin Mahfouz, remember I just told you about how Bush's partner, according to two sources, was at this meeting in which Al Qaeda funding was discussed in Paris in 96.
00:38:33.000Uh, one of the other people in that room, according to two sources, Khalid Bin Mahfouz of BCCI.
00:38:39.000So, it's, you know, it's the same crew and, you know, look, I can't blame George Bush for these guys having some secret meeting.
00:38:46.000Uh, you know, he wasn't invited as far as I know, but, you know, the FBI and CIA would really like to follow up on these things so we can find out what these characters are up to.
00:41:19.000I'd like my brothers in the American press to be looking at this before the arrests are made.
00:41:25.000And what's even more dangerous is when the arrests aren't made at all.
00:41:29.000It's a very complex business, and I just feel like the U.S.
00:41:33.000press has just completely fallen down.
00:41:36.000They won't talk about a Miami Herald report, and with just a few others, that for the three days that all air traffic was shut down, locked down, there were jets leaving Miami and jets leaving Boston Logan full of Bin Ladens.
00:41:49.000Well, you know, I know that at least after the air traffic control limit was lifted, there was a charter jet which moved some of the members of the Bin Laden family out.
00:42:02.000And remember, they're not terrorists just because their name is Bin Laden.
00:42:06.000The thing is that FBI agents have wanted to Well, why were they allowed to leave and nobody else could?
00:42:13.000Well, um, I think that it was still, they had a special charter supposedly on the grounds that, you know, being bin Laden, that they might be attacked by angry Americans.
00:42:22.000Though, you know, Americans are not that dumb.
00:42:24.000They don't just take someone's last name and attack them.
00:43:23.000And in fact, I'm also here in Houston, Texas, where I'm talking from, and one of the big dangers we have to look out for in terrorism is attack on our chemical plants.
00:43:33.000And what, for example, if you live within two miles of the giant Exxon refinery here and you have a pentane release, anyone within two miles is going to have their skin burned off.
00:43:46.000There's 7,000 people living in that vulnerability zone.
00:43:50.000And there are two ways to fix that problem.
00:43:52.000First, you can make the plant safer and more secure.
00:43:55.000Or second, you can simply I have a newsletter here from Robert Chapman.
00:43:59.000He says Bush's budget director, Mitch Daniels, formerly worked at Lilly.
00:44:01.000that's what they've done for exxon, they've now blocked all the EPA records so you don't
00:44:33.000I tell you, it's one big happy family, isn't it, Greg?
00:44:36.000Yeah, what I'm worried about is the money poisoning of our political system.
00:44:40.000It's not a case of one party or another.
00:44:42.000What I'm worried about, and the reason I call the book The Best Democracy Money Can Buy, it looks like we're holding auctions Auctions, not elections.
00:44:49.000And the question is, what are these donations buying?
00:45:12.000After Poppy Bush left the White House, or he was removed by two-thirds of the American electorate, after he left the White House, he wrote a letter to the Emirate asking Kuwait to give Chevron Oil an oil concession.
00:45:24.000The ex-President of the United States, the guy who saved their Rolls Royces, asked them to give Chevron Oil.
00:45:31.000They did that, and his son got half a million bucks into his campaign kitty.
