3. Translation of the beginning.....at least the best I could do
Translation of the beginning.....at least the best I could do

----
The war in Iraq is over, the *mess* is still smoking but the first bulldozers are entering the country.
After the coalition forces destroyed baghdad first, mostly american companies are allowed to start the re-construction of Iraq.
Something that should be noticed is that these companies have people on their payroll that are from the American political system.
Is this *belangen verstrengeling* or is this a new way of doing business?
The iron triangle
One of the companies that operates this way is the carlyle group, on their payroll are people like George Bush Senior, James Baker the Third and old prime minister John Major.
The carlyle group is a private investing bank that doesn't show it's face very often.
But it is one of the largest American investors for defense, telecommunications, real-estate and financial services.
What is the Carlyle group, who are the people behind the organization and how much power does it have.

5. Welcome to DU and thanks
for the translation.

I was laughing at the sound of some Dutch words that come just after the narrator mentions Bush Senior, Baker, etc. It sounds like he is saying "Fucked up". I've watched this vid about three times all the way through.

:toast:

4. This is THEE most important vid I have seen on
Edited on Wed May-19-04 04:01 PM by 9215
the deepest corruption of all time. It is stunning. I have given this to people who went from being Bush supporters to the opposite side of the spectrum after seeing it.

8. This spelled it all out for me, too.
This administration is criminal. And we should never allow for things like this to happen.

You know, sometimes I wonder if stuff like this has been happening all along in this country, and it's not so much that things have gotten really bad lately, but that because of the internet, we are able to be more informed about them? What do you think?

10. Carlyle group's corruption is an order of magnitude above what
was going on before. Check out Kissinger and Associates for a comparison of what was going on before. Carlyle meshed the political and economic to an unprecedented degree-- fascism. I'm still comparing it to Nazi Germany's IG Farben industries.

IMO the Internet is to the 21st Century what the Guttenberg Press was to the 16th. Martin Luther and the Reformation only happened, IMO, because Luther got his material mass produced.
