studio a name change for the North

7
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,960
Atlantic Treaty Organization NATO is

8
00:00:46,719 --> 00:00:50,840
surely in order given that it was last

9
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:54,000
seen killing people in the deserts of

10
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:56,039
North Africa it is nuclear armed with

11
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,800
thousands of warheads aggressive

12
00:00:56,039 --> 00:01:01,160
expansive and extremely dangerous and

13
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:03,000
they're coming here this weekend in

14
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,879
Cardiff the NATO leaders of the Gang

15
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,400
That Couldn't Shoot Straight have the

16
00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:09,520
city in lockdown some people are afraid

17
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,520
others are on the March against them

18
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,840
just what the great and peaceful city of

19
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:16,759
Cardiff did to deserve this visit by the

20
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:19,439
war party is unclear perhaps they

21
00:01:16,759 --> 00:01:21,600
thought it would all pass quietly if so

22
00:01:19,439 --> 00:01:23,280
they have another think coming one of

23
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,280
the organizers of this weekend's

24
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,320
demonstrations against them is an old

25
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:29,920
friend of mine for more than 30 years

26
00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:32,680
Britain's communist leader Rob Griffiths

27
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:35,479
and I'm glad to say he joins us on board

28
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:37,399
the Sputnik Rob what did Cardiff do to

29
00:01:35,479 --> 00:01:40,240
deserve this visit and what do you have

30
00:01:37,399 --> 00:01:43,439
planned well nothing that I'm aware of

31
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:46,520
uh and in fact Cardiff council is

32
00:01:43,439 --> 00:01:47,880
hosting a counter Summit so the city the

33
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,759
city of cardiff's elected

34
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,799
representatives didn't issue any

35
00:01:49,759 --> 00:01:53,479
invitation and they've clearly shown

36
00:01:51,799 --> 00:01:55,680
that their sympathizer their sympathies

37
00:01:53,479 --> 00:01:57,680
lie more with the demonstrators than

38
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:00,119
with the uh the leaders of the so-called

39
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:03,240
free world who will be meeting in ciff

40
00:02:00,119 --> 00:02:06,119
of Newport um there will be there is a

41
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:08,720
warm welcome plann for them uh there's

42
00:02:06,119 --> 00:02:10,759
an encirclement of Cardiff Castle today

43
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,920
or should I say an encirclement of the

44
00:02:10,759 --> 00:02:15,000
wire and concrete that now surrounds

45
00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:17,280
Cardiff Castle today where the summit

46
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,360
leaders will uh meet in uh just over a

47
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,840
week's time uh there's a big

48
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:24,720
International demonstration in Newport a

49
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:27,280
joint venue of the of the summit uh on

50
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:29,519
Saturday assemble at 1:00 Newport Civic

51
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:32,760
Center there's a 2-day counter Summit

52
00:02:29,519 --> 00:02:34,840
after that and various other events all

53
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:37,160
designed to show that the mass of

54
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:39,360
ordinary people have no interest in this

55
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,440
Summit and certainly have no support for

56
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,239
the kind of war mongering that we can

57
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,159
expect to hear from it so let me get

58
00:02:43,239 --> 00:02:48,120
this right they're cowering inside a

59
00:02:45,159 --> 00:02:51,120
castle which is itself now surrounded by

60
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:52,720
concrete and barire well apparently that

61
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,040
sounds like a real welcome all of the

62
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:57,800
fortifications built by the Romans and

63
00:02:55,040 --> 00:03:00,560
the Normans uh uh and the English aren't

64
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:02,519
sufficient and we need extra steel and

65
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:05,640
concrete to keep to keep the ordinary

66
00:03:02,519 --> 00:03:10,280
people at Bay now they are they have

67
00:03:05,640 --> 00:03:13,920
moved onto a posture of extremely

68
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:17,239
aggressive language against Russia uh

69
00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:20,640
they are going to this weekend discuss

70
00:03:17,239 --> 00:03:23,159
ways in which they can put forward NATO

71
00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:26,720
basis as close as possible as they can

72
00:03:23,159 --> 00:03:29,080
get to Russia now the justification for

73
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:31,760
NATO was never accepted by the likes of

74
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:34,200
you or me but the justification for NATO

75
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:37,439
was that it was a Counterpoint an answer

76
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:39,480
to the Warsaw Pact the Warsaw Pact is

77
00:03:37,439 --> 00:03:42,239
long gone and half the countries that

78
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:44,439
were in the warsa P are now in NATO so

79
00:03:42,239 --> 00:03:46,760
what's the justification for the

80
00:03:44,439 --> 00:03:49,200
continuation of this war machine well

81
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:51,439
there was a major flaw in this uh

82
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,799
defense or this justification for the

83
00:03:51,439 --> 00:03:55,120
existence of NATO from the very

84
00:03:52,799 --> 00:03:57,319
beginning because the warsa pact was in

85
00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:00,959
fact not set up until six years after

86
00:03:57,319 --> 00:04:02,680
NATO was established um so so they have

87
00:04:00,959 --> 00:04:05,159
they have to keep they have to keep

88
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:07,480
inventing new justifications I mean as

89
00:04:05,159 --> 00:04:10,720
you say The warsa Pact wound itself up

90
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:12,280
in 1993 and therefore by its own logic

91
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,599
NATO should have wounded itself up

92
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:18,560
instead of which it's expanded from 12

93
00:04:14,599 --> 00:04:20,560
members to 28 um and uh we had a series

94
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:23,120
of bogey men if you remember that were

95
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:25,080
appointed by the Western Powers after

96
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,520
the collapse and counterrevolution in

97
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:31,120
the Soviet Union it was Gaddafi it was

98
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:33,120
the Ayatollah it was Saddam saying once

99
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:35,120
we' finished arming him and financing

100
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,400
him and helping in helping him to kill

101
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,120
Communists and trade unionists and so on

102
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,759
uh they always have to invent new

103
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:43,800
excuses Putin is the latest bogey man

104
00:04:41,759 --> 00:04:46,400
but they're moving into cyber crime

105
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:48,479
International piracy everything possible

106
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,880
to try and justify the continued

107
00:04:48,479 --> 00:04:53,440
existence of NATO and the fact that the

108
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:56,039
US in particular of course its Ambitions

109
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:58,759
are for worldwide what they call full

110
00:04:56,039 --> 00:05:00,240
spectrum dominance of air sea land and

111
00:04:58,759 --> 00:05:03,320
outer space

112
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,840
um and of course if they can try and put

113
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,520
themselves forward as an organization

114
00:05:04,840 --> 00:05:08,600
that's also concerned about

115
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:11,680
International piracy cyber crime and so

116
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:13,880
on this helps so it believes it's kind

117
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:16,240
to justify its existence what was the

118
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:20,680
that that mob in in the James Bond film

119
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:24,000
smash it's a kind of uh extra

120
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:27,759
territorial uh gang with a with a kind

121
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:30,840
of uh logic remorseless perpetual motion

122
00:05:27,759 --> 00:05:33,280
uh of its own it's not within any

123
00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:35,520
national government's power to control

124
00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:37,360
well the James Bond parallels are are

125
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,800
there except they're all sort of in

126
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:42,560
reverse image aren't they um you know

127
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:44,360
the I mean the the the baddy you know is

128
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:47,080
obviously Putin at the moment he's the

129
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:49,479
evil person stroking the cat on his on

130
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,080
his knee and so on and yet after all

131
00:05:49,479 --> 00:05:53,360
amongst other things it's not Putin that

132
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:55,400
has gone to Iraq and killed hundreds of

133
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,840
hundreds of thousands of civilians or

134
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,680
killed thousands of civilians in

135
00:05:56,840 --> 00:06:02,000
Afghanistan or just killed uh 2,000

136
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:04,000
civilians in Palestine it's not Putin

137
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,199
that's done any of this it's the Western

138
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,880
Powers it's the NATO powers and their

139
00:06:06,199 --> 00:06:12,599
allies their allies such as Israel now

140
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:15,240
you mention uh uh Iraq of course one of

141
00:06:12,599 --> 00:06:19,240
the items on the agenda this weekend

142
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:22,440
will be the frankly bizarre idea that

143
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:24,120
the solution to the catastrophe in Iraq

144
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:27,000
is for the people who caused the

145
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:30,240
catastrophe in Iraq to return to the

146
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:33,199
scene of their former uh crime

147
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,919
uh what are you expecting in that well

148
00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:36,880
yeah we'll you know we'll we'll we'll

149
00:06:34,919 --> 00:06:40,120
have warmongering statements not not

150
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:42,440
only uh against Putin and so on um but

151
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:45,560
uh we'll we may well hear further

152
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:48,319
excuses for intervening yet again in uh

153
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:50,479
in Iraq militarily um I don't think we

154
00:06:48,319 --> 00:06:53,280
could expect anything better for as long

155
00:06:50,479 --> 00:06:55,520
as perh somebody like rasmason is is the

156
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:57,599
Secretary General of NATO after all when

157
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,639
when he was prime minister of Denmark he

158
00:06:57,599 --> 00:07:02,280
was one of the chief war and he actually

159
00:06:59,639 --> 00:07:04,440
dragged Danish Armed Forces into the

160
00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:06,520
Iraq War I can't remember the last time

161
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,560
the Danish armed forces were involved in

162
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,520
any fighting at all and he did so with

163
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:13,240
the same lies as Blair and Bush the

164
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:15,680
weapons of mass destruction uh line and

165
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:18,840
so on and he's the Secretary General

166
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:21,759
that's right uh of this small country

167
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:23,560
Denmark but he struts around the world

168
00:07:21,759 --> 00:07:26,360
threatening people with somebody else's

169
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:29,199
army with somebody else's nuclear uh

170
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:31,800
weapons the role of musolini indeed uh

171
00:07:29,199 --> 00:07:35,000
through through the uh through the

172
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:38,360
1930s um is he on his way out who's

173
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:41,240
going to get the gig after him and what

174
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,960
are the British doing in all of this

175
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,199
well I think they've lined up somebody

176
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:47,560
from Norway which as far as I'm aware

177
00:07:45,199 --> 00:07:50,000
doesn't have an army any bigger than

178
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,800
Denmark's um but I think that the next

179
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,840
the successor is from Norway but at the

180
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:57,680
end of the day rasmason and whoever else

181
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:59,039
it it is Will Will merely be voicing

182
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,280
what is at the end of the day the

183
00:07:59,039 --> 00:08:03,879
foreign policy of the United States I

184
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:06,159
mean NATO really is a tool of the United

185
00:08:03,879 --> 00:08:08,720
States it's the North American uh

186
00:08:06,159 --> 00:08:11,919
terrorist organization is one of our

187
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:15,479
tweeters uh put it well with that in

188
00:08:11,919 --> 00:08:18,720
mind I wanted to ask you about France

189
00:08:15,479 --> 00:08:21,080
historically France was a kind of

190
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,639
semi-independent member of NATO it

191
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:26,319
refused to give the United States

192
00:08:22,639 --> 00:08:29,159
control of its nuclear weapons uh it uh

193
00:08:26,319 --> 00:08:33,760
withdrew I think for some years from the

194
00:08:29,159 --> 00:08:35,959
m committees uh of NATO but this uh uh

195
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:38,959
least popular of all French presidents

196
00:08:35,959 --> 00:08:41,719
franois Holland he's right in with the

197
00:08:38,959 --> 00:08:44,279
with the m gang he's taken a very um

198
00:08:41,719 --> 00:08:47,680
pro-american stance in a lot of foreign

199
00:08:44,279 --> 00:08:49,880
policy issues um uh and of course in

200
00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:51,920
terms of his domestic policies he's busy

201
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:56,279
betraying all the pledges that he laid

202
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:58,160
before the French electorate um we we

203
00:08:56,279 --> 00:08:59,959
you're quite right to say that for a

204
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,160
long period France was not not part of

205
00:08:59,959 --> 00:09:04,200
the military structures of NATO I think

206
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:06,440
they still participated in some of the

207
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:08,720
political structures and so on but uh

208
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:11,560
Holland and and one or two before him

209
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:13,680
have been busy reintegrating France into

210
00:09:11,560 --> 00:09:15,839
NATO but at the end of the day Holland

211
00:09:13,680 --> 00:09:18,200
himself may be on the way out and uh

212
00:09:15,839 --> 00:09:20,720
we'll have to see whether France reverts

213
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,360
to perhaps a more gist approach a more

214
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,959
independent approach in its foreign

215
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:27,000
policy the kind of independent foreign

216
00:09:24,959 --> 00:09:29,560
and defense policy that of course we

217
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,640
desperately need in Britain instead of C

218
00:09:29,560 --> 00:09:35,920
on as the United States number one

219
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:39,000
poodle David Cameron uh like his

220
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:40,600
predecessors frankly uh if you think

221
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:45,160
about it since

222
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:48,600
thater uh we've had a parade of American

223
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:51,920
poodles uh in charge of this country

224
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:55,040
David Cameron Cuts an unlikely uh

225
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:58,560
Soldier I must say a real Brill cream uh

226
00:09:55,040 --> 00:10:01,839
boy uh but he is uh he seems to be

227
00:09:58,560 --> 00:10:04,560
itching uh for a fight he tried to get

228
00:10:01,839 --> 00:10:08,120
us into the war with uh Syria last

229
00:10:04,560 --> 00:10:12,160
August failed with just 13 of a majority

230
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:14,200
in Parliament now he seems to be mulling

231
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:17,160
according to the newspapers sending the

232
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:19,519
Royal Air Force back to Iraq well I mean

233
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:21,880
if there was a prize at CRS you know for

234
00:10:19,519 --> 00:10:24,079
best American poodle I'm afraid British

235
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:26,760
prime ministers would have won it uh for

236
00:10:24,079 --> 00:10:30,480
the last for the last of for the last 20

237
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:32,480
years or more um fortunately um it was a

238
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:35,720
great victory for the anti-war movement

239
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:38,360
George of course when the MPS went into

240
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:40,920
Westminster uh last year and uh

241
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,880
prevented Britain from joining in what

242
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:45,519
would have been a mad Escapade that

243
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:48,079
would have strengthened the very uh

244
00:10:45,519 --> 00:10:50,160
fundamentalist terrorist forces that

245
00:10:48,079 --> 00:10:52,160
we're now supposed to be opposing uh now

246
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:54,560
that they've spread from Syria into Iraq

247
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:56,399
so so the the people of Britain and

248
00:10:54,560 --> 00:10:59,920
their elected representatives saved

249
00:10:56,399 --> 00:11:02,959
Cameron from himself uh last year uh and

250
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:04,560
even uh even Ed Milan came rather late

251
00:11:02,959 --> 00:11:06,639
uh to the show but at least at the end

252
00:11:04,560 --> 00:11:11,720
of the day opposed what would have been

253
00:11:06,639 --> 00:11:13,519
an act of sheia folly um but uh now

254
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:16,839
instead of drawing the right conclusions

255
00:11:13,519 --> 00:11:18,839
from that uh again they the approach

256
00:11:16,839 --> 00:11:20,639
seems to be that if there's a problem

257
00:11:18,839 --> 00:11:22,600
anywhere in the world British and

258
00:11:20,639 --> 00:11:24,920
American Military intervention can solve

259
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,320
it it's the default position that's

260
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,720
right that's right that's right what we

261
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:31,079
need of course is um International

262
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:33,160
solidarity and action through the United

263
00:11:31,079 --> 00:11:35,560
Nations to assist those who are

264
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:37,279
resisting any kind of any kind of

265
00:11:35,560 --> 00:11:39,839
terrorist offensive such as the one that

266
00:11:37,279 --> 00:11:42,519
we're seeing Isis launching across Iraq

267
00:11:39,839 --> 00:11:45,200
Rob griffi thank you very much indeed

268
00:11:42,519 --> 00:11:47,959
coming up after the break as mass murder

269
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:50,279
and mutilation continues to amaze and

270
00:11:47,959 --> 00:11:52,800
Astound Western politicians and their

271
00:11:50,279 --> 00:11:54,480
media Echo Chambers we'll be looking at

272
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:58,079
the head chopping throat slicing

273
00:11:54,480 --> 00:12:01,040
medieval obscurantists known as Isis or

274
00:11:58,079 --> 00:12:03,440
as President Obama still calls them ISO

275
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,440
don't miss

276
00:12:05,959 --> 00:12:12,000
it welcome back to Sputnik Western

277
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:14,680
commentators have been unsurprisingly

278
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,839
fixated of late with the latest video

279
00:12:14,680 --> 00:12:19,360
horror show of an American journalist

280
00:12:16,839 --> 00:12:22,600
being savagely murdered by the gang of

281
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:24,800
Desperados going by the name of Isis the

282
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:27,519
same murder gang their own Western

283
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:29,600
governments with media approval did so

284
00:12:27,519 --> 00:12:32,160
much to build up over the Border in

285
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:34,440
Syria but the west and its allies are

286
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:36,720
both directly and indirectly deeply

287
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:39,279
implicated in the wave of violence in

288
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:41,680
Iraq the bush and Blair Invasion and

289
00:12:39,279 --> 00:12:44,680
occupation of Iraq could only lead to

290
00:12:41,680 --> 00:12:47,120
this and our main Ally Saudi Arabia is

291
00:12:44,680 --> 00:12:49,279
ruled by people with very much in common

292
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:51,959
with Isis and a very great deal of their

293
00:12:49,279 --> 00:12:54,360
early funding came from there Saudi

294
00:12:51,959 --> 00:12:56,199
Prince bander known as bandar Bush

295
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,959
because of his closeness to one of the

296
00:12:56,199 --> 00:13:01,519
US ruling families is up to his neck in

00:12:58,959 --> 00:13:03,600
the Bloodshed in the leant Muhammad

difficult to tell um with their mosque

368
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,000
who are they what the what but you're

369
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:22,440
but you're confident that not many of

370
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:25,279
them are Iraqis as an Iraqi whether

371
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:28,680
you're a Sunni or a Shia this is a

372
00:16:25,279 --> 00:16:31,519
foreign ideology for us the brutality

373
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:34,440
the criminality the head chopping I mean

374
00:16:31,519 --> 00:16:36,440
from my research the the the the head

375
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:40,120
choppers what I call them they tend to

376
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:42,839
be guys who were prisoners in the west I

377
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:45,199
mean one guy is Khaled shahu he was on

378
00:16:42,839 --> 00:16:48,399
the news from Australia this guy was on

379
00:16:45,199 --> 00:16:50,639
drugs he um he was to the point

380
00:16:48,399 --> 00:16:53,360
hallucinating and um he was in prison

381
00:16:50,639 --> 00:16:56,000
for a while came out came to the mosque

382
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:58,360
and then went to Syria and he appears on

383
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,839
a lot of these head chopping videos as

384
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:03,639
well as another guy called Abu ABD

385
00:17:00,839 --> 00:17:06,480
Rahman Al Iraqi he was in prison in in

386
00:17:03,639 --> 00:17:10,240
in in Holland now you see Dutch

387
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:12,439
guys training these Isis Fighters um

388
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:15,439
there are there there were there were um

389
00:17:12,439 --> 00:17:17,720
a guy called Eric Haron in the US um he

390
00:17:15,439 --> 00:17:19,720
he was caught on video in Syria bringing

391
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:22,439
down a helicopter when they went and

392
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:25,079
asked his dad in in the US he said no he

393
00:17:22,439 --> 00:17:28,079
can't be working for Al-Qaeda as far as

394
00:17:25,079 --> 00:17:30,400
I know my son works for the CIA so there

395
00:17:28,079 --> 00:17:32,799
are what what can you tell us about the

396
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:35,600
name change it went from it started with

397
00:17:32,799 --> 00:17:38,799
isil and then Isis and they've recently

398
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:42,880
reestablished themselves is yeah it's

399
00:17:38,799 --> 00:17:45,720
it's a very wellth thought move um these

400
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:49,200
guys whoever behind them they're very

401
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:51,840
intelligent um the reason for that is

402
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:53,919
they want to say we're a global movement

403
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,760
and just in the last two month I think

404
00:17:53,919 --> 00:17:58,280
they sort of doubled or tripled their

405
00:17:55,760 --> 00:18:01,240
recruits um and it's very important to

406
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:04,760
concentrate on uh this is a gener a

407
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:07,120
generational issue um it's not the it's

408
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:10,400
not the 40s and the 50s Muslims they're

409
00:18:07,120 --> 00:18:13,320
targeting people as young as 14 16 up to

410
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:14,640
the age of 28 they brainwash them you're

411
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,480
you're the Freedom Fighters you're the

412
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:20,400
Muslim Fighters um it's you who's going

413
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:23,200
to reestablish the hu the the the

414
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,400
Islamic State and it's it's you um who's

415
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,960
going to do it they're all being

416
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:31,880
brainwashed to do that but Muhammad uh

417
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:35,679
this rag bag of 14 to 28y Old foreigners

418
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:39,080
from America and England and all parts

419
00:18:35,679 --> 00:18:41,600
of the world how come they've been so

420
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:44,760
astoundingly militarily successful

421
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:47,000
sweeping across the West the north

422
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,760
capturing some of the most historic and

423
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:53,400
important Iraqi

424
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:55,720
cities um according to Snowden leaks um

425
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:58,240
the budget for the us one of the the

426
00:18:55,720 --> 00:19:01,240
damaging um information is the budget

427
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:03,240
for the C is 50 billion per year okay

428
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:06,000
now please tell

429
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:09,240
me tell me how can an organization with

430
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:12,919
a 50 billion dollar we didn't

431
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:16,679
notice a convoy of cars Isis going from

432
00:19:12,919 --> 00:19:20,080
Syria taking over mus okay

433
00:19:16,679 --> 00:19:23,400
um only yesterday there was a a news on

434
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:25,559
um on um one of these Turkish websites

435
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:29,320
the third Israeli

436
00:19:25,559 --> 00:19:31,440
drawn fall Downs Over Baghdad it's very

437
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:34,720
worrying I mean who knows who who is

438
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:37,559
behind them how can they have so uh well

439
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:40,240
accurate GPS they can move so quickly

440
00:19:37,559 --> 00:19:43,640
from one area to the other area they

441
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:46,120
must have some good intelligence I mean

442
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,919
on on their on their videos they show a

443
00:19:46,120 --> 00:19:50,640
lot of drones where do they get these

444
00:19:47,919 --> 00:19:53,240
drones from um well I have no doubt that

445
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:55,320
they are uh their Providence is dubious

446
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:58,240
I have no doubt that they are the

447
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:59,480
richest terrorist organization in all

448
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:02,960
history

449
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:07,159
but the facts remain that the both the

450
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:10,159
Iraqi Army and the Kurdish pesmerga run

451
00:20:07,159 --> 00:20:13,480
away from them that doesn't compute with

452
00:20:10,159 --> 00:20:17,000
me I mean unless these are some kind of

453
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:19,960
superheroes super Fighters why are

454
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:23,280
armies 10 times bigger than them running

455
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:26,960
away from them I think um with the with

456
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:30,280
the what happened in mul the they think

457
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:32,679
it was some kind of a a conspiracy how

458
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:36,000
the Army sort of defected suddenly just

459
00:20:32,679 --> 00:20:38,440
like that I mean the Army was strong

460
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:41,039
they were there the information we have

461
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:43,880
is a lot of the generals um took their

462
00:20:41,039 --> 00:20:47,880
clothes off took bribes possibly I mean

463
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:51,760
we can't tell uh but when the soldier so

464
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:53,400
um their generals are defecting and um

465
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:56,000
as well as Isis is very clever with

466
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:58,760
their propaganda they use these horror

467
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:02,200
um and they scare people so a soldier

468
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:04,760
who is maybe 25 26 things if my general

469
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:08,440
is not standing to defend the city why

470
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:10,799
should I um and it it it is definitely

471
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:13,360
some kind of a a conspiracy it doesn't

472
00:21:10,799 --> 00:21:17,600
augure well though for the ability of

473
00:21:13,360 --> 00:21:20,400
Iraq to repel these uh people it it took

474
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:22,720
it took the Iraqi Authority by surprise

475
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:26,000
um like I said maybe there was some kind

476
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:27,919
of a a conspiracy but now forces are

477
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:31,360
Gathering can I just mention a point

478
00:21:27,919 --> 00:21:35,679
about ing the Iraqi Army the US they've

479
00:21:31,360 --> 00:21:37,880
not been so good lately with after 2011

480
00:21:35,679 --> 00:21:40,760
when the Iraqi government refused to

481
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:43,240
sign an extension for um the American

482
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:47,000
forces to stay in Iraq the Americans and

483
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:48,919
the Congress um they delayed arming the

484
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:51,120
Iraqi Army even though the Iraqis had

485
00:21:48,919 --> 00:21:53,120
paid for the arms yes I mean it got to

486
00:21:51,120 --> 00:21:55,400
the point where there was an article in

487
00:21:53,120 --> 00:21:57,720
writers um in November last year

488
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:59,720
November 2013 the Iraqi government got

489
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:02,240
so desperate they had to sign an arming

490
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:04,120
deal with Iran breaking the sanctions

491
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:07,400
against Iran just to get some weapons I

492
00:22:04,120 --> 00:22:10,240
mean the airplanes there are no the

493
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:12,039
Iraqi government had to buy airplanes

494
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:14,279
from Russia because the the Americans

495
00:22:12,039 --> 00:22:16,440
wouldn't Supply us with one and it was

496
00:22:14,279 --> 00:22:19,080
only one of them and still as far as I

497
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:21,080
know it's either being shipped one F6

498
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:23,440
F16 or it hasn't even been shipped yet

499
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:25,640
so the the the American forget them and

500
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:28,559
uh and get my money back uh if I were

501
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:31,360
you just one last uh Point how do people

502
00:22:28,559 --> 00:22:34,840
watching this give support to your

503
00:22:31,360 --> 00:22:37,520
campaign this no to Isis # no to Isis we

504
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:40,279
uh we need uh to raise awareness um we

505
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:42,440
need um the British public know that

506
00:22:40,279 --> 00:22:45,240
this organiz the so-called Islamic State

507
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:47,640
they're not Islamic um and not Islamic

508
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:49,200
not a state not Islamic and well I mean

509
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,520
the state but it's they're working on it

510
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:54,400
so we don't know how that's going to

511
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:58,559
develop um it's Humanity against those

512
00:22:54,400 --> 00:23:01,720
evil barbaric Force um and um we

513
00:22:58,559 --> 00:23:03,600
shouldn't be saying it's their problem

514
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:06,320
let them deal with

515
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:08,919
it the Civilized world I mean if we go

516
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:10,760
back and say imagine we are 164 or 16

517
00:23:08,919 --> 00:23:12,799
something before the uh religious War

started in Europe um you have the

519
00:23:12,799 --> 00:23:17,640
Civilized well we should contribute to

520
00:23:15,679 --> 00:23:19,520
stop this from happening in in the

521
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:22,520

00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:31,320
you'll uh try to organize activities to

525
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:33,440
widen an understanding of this whole

526
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:37,520

he's dragging us to the brink of war

537
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:03,159
that would be a more accurate way of

538
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:05,200
describing the role of NATO quite quite

539
00:24:03,159 --> 00:24:06,880

American terrorist

544
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:19,400
organization um is redundant they should

1989 now it's just cruising for ab

547
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:26,480
bruising to justify its own budget and

548
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:29,640
reason for existing very well put I mean

549
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:33,679
NATO was supposedly an answer to the

550
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:36,000
Warsaw Pact uh but the Warsaw Pact is 20

551
00:24:33,679 --> 00:24:37,760
years gone and most of the countries

552
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,840
that were in the Warsaw PCT are now in

553
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:44,480
NATO so what's the justification uh for

554
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:46,919
this defense against whom against what

555
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:49,720
it's an anti-russian anti-chinese

556
00:24:46,919 --> 00:24:52,039
military Alliance it's a provocation

557
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,720
yeah and as Mark Atkinson says NATO is

558
00:24:52,039 --> 00:24:56,200
just a dangerous tool in the hand of

559
00:24:53,720 --> 00:25:00,399
fools on Iraq we ask the people what

560
00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:02,679
lies ahead for them uh RM replies I Isis

561
00:25:00,399 --> 00:25:04,919
are just a bloodthirsty death cult looks

562
00:25:02,679 --> 00:25:07,520
like its Master Frankenstein is out of

563
00:25:04,919 --> 00:25:09,840
control and our own beloved William H

564
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:12,279
says that is will do a great job

565
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:15,240
destroying what's left of Iraq after all

566
00:25:12,279 --> 00:25:19,279
they've been trained by the best Ash

567
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:21,640
CIA very big mystery as to who Isis

568
00:25:19,279 --> 00:25:23,880
