How was it financed? Drugs.

So, we created Osama bin Laden! We created what is called al-Qaeda. The British had already done it, but we moved in in a big way. Now, we have a mammoth problem in Central Asia. Afghanistan is not going to be pacified at present. The United States accomplished net-nothing in Pakistan. The United States is drawn off someplace else, what's going to happen? The Pakistan military, which lives on drugs, is going to recreate the Taliban. ape change] So what did they accomplish? Some dead people?

What's the map look like? Has the map been improved? Not at all. The map has been made worse. Why did they attack the place? No reason. Nobody ever presented any proof, of any substance, of who actually did Sept. 11, 2001. No government has ever presented any proof of who did it. Now I know there are some people in our government, who are still investigating that matter, quite seriously. But there's no expectation of something that can be reported, with a year or so.

So, we did it. It was done for the sake of Brzezinski-style policies, this other type of policy.

Now, now let's look at South and Central America. Let's take Colombia. The United States is not serious about cutting drugs in Colombia. As some of you may know, I was running an operation... Guatemala asked me to come down, and assist them, in assessing a terrorist problem they had up in the mountain areas there in Guatemala. So I did an assessment. They gave me some facts, I gave them my interpretation of the facts. They said, "Well, we agree. What shall we do about it?" I said, "Well, I'm not going to do anything. You have to decide what you're going to do."

So, we sent a piggyback group of people down there, to just sit by their side, while they planned the operation, and watched them when they did it. They did a test operation, which confirmed exactly what I thought.

In that period, I made a presentation on dealing with drugs in the Americas to a Mexico City conference, and I found out it wasn't going to work, because some of the Colombian generals, government fascists, had cut a deal, together with George Bush, then, according to them, on, maybe he'd give them some drug money, to support the Contra operation.

That's never been settled. 41 should probably talk about it some time, or something.

But, we created the situation. We overthrew a government in Peru, because it was the most efficient anti-drug force in all South America! We created conditions under which the cocaine generals, which they got rid of in Bolivia, are in the process of trying to come back, and take over Bolivia. We have an operation which the Moonies, which are not exactly pure on the drug question, or arms-trafficking question, have bought up large territory in Brazil, on the border of Bolivia, and also on the Bolivian side of the border, are setting up an operation, under the cover of the World Wildlife Fund, to destroy Brazil.

And so on, and so forth.

The major problem here, is that {we} are not serious about fighting drugs, or fighting the drug problem. Worse, that our government has knowingly used this, just the way the United States government {used} Saddam Hussein for the war against Iran. So, {we} create the problem.

We have similar types of problems around the world. The technical name for this is, variously, irregular warfare, special warfare, or low-intensity warfare. We run these kinds of operations as governments. Various governments run these kinds of operations. They run them in the form of strikes, they run them in all kinds of forms. We've written about this thing -- it's well known. People in intelligence, competent in intelligence, and competent in police intelligence work, can understand these things, and take the proper precautions to detect them in operation, and find ways of dealing with them.

But that requires that you don't want a bunch of Nazi-like blockwatchers in every area, saying "My neighbor's a terrorist!" This is the most stupid thing ever conceived. {applause]
