FREE Public Access UNIX! Lines: 114 I made the following transcript from a tape recording of a broadcast by Pacifica Radio Network station WBAI-FM (99.5) 505 Eighth Ave., 19th Fl. New York, NY 10018 (212) 279-0707 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * (continuation) Meanwhile, President George Bush, this nice man, came into the presidency haunted by this image of being a wimp, which is a little bit of a red herring. This has never been a weak man! He's been intensely ambitious. There's a certain gawkiness about him, which he's outgrowing, as a matter of fact. But we saw it in the CIA. There were a lot of jokes. But, in fact, he was a brilliant man -- a brilliant director. He would take our Angola program, where we had broken the law and we had lied to cover it up, and he would go to the Congress and say: "Those nice people I'm meeting out there -- I just can't believe they would do that." And he could sell this to the Congress. And he got us off the hook. He did not investigate. He did not punish any of us for breaking the laws. Instead, he was building friendships and relationships that continue today. When he became president, he appointed CIA officers to assistant secretarial posts and to ambassadorial posts throughout the Government. Meanwhile, this man, who was stung by the wimp image, had inherited all the problems and all the responsibility for the wrecking of the U.S. economy that he and President Reagan had done. Meanwhile, at the same time, he is a confirmed internationalist. He was desperate to get the nation distracted from the internal problems. But also, his solution to any problem: he's going to be happy working with all these hundreds and hundreds of contacts that he's built up internationally, overseas, telephoning chiefs-of-state all over the World, and saying: "Hi Joe. Hi Ahmad. How are things going? What can we do about this problem or that one?" He's proud of his heritage in the British Nobility, Yale -- the Skull and Bones Society, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Knights of Malta, World War II: he was in the Pacific, he was ambassador to China, ambassador to the United Nations, CIA director, and a successful Texas and international oilman, never having really slaved and focused on social problems or domestic problems in the United States. And there ARE NO solutions to these problems they've created of the debt and the deficit. How internationalist is he? I would say totally -- ninety percent. He's NOT concerned about the people of the United States. SIXTY MINUTES did a segment on him, during the 1988 election campaign, in which they revealed that eighteen members of his campaign staff had collected six- and seven-figure honoraria from foreign countries and foreign companies in the eighteen months before that election. He had surrounded himself with internationalists who were plugged into the international financial and business community. Meanwhile, since he's been president, he's been consistently vetoing bills -- more bills than any other president in history. Every bill that, in any way, grants a reprieve to the people of this country, he vetoes it! And any bill that in any way tries to curtail the greed of the upper one percent, he vetoes it! Hence, adding all of these things together: the U.S. cycle [of recession], the nightmare of the economic situation we have, the sliding into recession, the S&L crisis, in which his own family was involved, the malaise that was setting in, the recession again, and his own problem with his own masculinity -- it was safe to predict that he would look for an overseas solution: a war! It's been done time and time again, as you'll see if you read Howard Zinn's book. Predictable that he would invade Panama. He used to work with Noriega the drug-dealer. He has worked with a lot of other drug- dealers, in fact, but this one was screaming publicly. Look up the NEWSWEEK article in May, I think it was the 23rd. In 1988, Noriega told NEWSWEEK or a NEWSWEEK interviewer that, quote: "I have George Bush by the balls" (I'm quoting Newsweek), because he had the information on George Bush's connections and ties and knowledge of drug smuggling. So Bush had to get rid of him! And he had to set the principle of the New World Financial Order, which he calls the "New World Order": of it transcending national boundaries -- that it would give the police of that order, the United States, the right to go into a country and pluck out their leader and put him on trial in U.S. courts for breaking, allegedly, U.S. laws, but, of course, not trying the others who were with him in the CIA, flying the planes and smuggling drugs, too. The war was very successful in Panama. They tried out military equipment, got people excited; it was generally popular. But the trouble was that it solved nothing, and it was over in one week. And hence, I was able to sit down and say: "He's still got his big problems. We still need a war. He's going to be shopping for a war." They were orchestrating, visibly, Cuba -- [their corporate mass media was] beating all of the drums, just like Gary Summers taught us they would do -- just like they had done against Nicaragua -- just like they had done against Noriega in Panama. So, I said: "They're going to be going against Cuba." Of course, I didn't know what they were doing, in fact, to create the conditions of war -- a BETTER war -- in the Middle East. And this thing erupted on us: this war that George Bush was shopping for! (to be continued) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The America Public is evidently in dire need of the truth, for when the plutocracy feeds us sweet lies instead of the bitter truth that would evoke remedial action by the People, then we are in peril of sinking inextricably into despotism. So, please post the episodes of this ongoing series to computer bulletin boards, and post hardcopies in public places, both on and off campus. The need for concerned people, alerting their neighbors to overshadowing dangers, still exists, as it did in the era of Paul Revere. That need is as enduring as society itself. John DiNardo
