Translation:

Dutch Documentary (mostly in English with Dutch subtitles) Translation of the first one minute forty seven seconds of this program.

"The war in Iraq is over. The rubble is still smoking while the first dozers are already entering the country. After the coalition forces destroyed Baghdad it is now primarily American companies who are to rebuild Iraq. An interesting point is that these companies usually have people on the payroll who have been politicians. Is this a conflict of interests or a new (global) way of doing business? One of the corporations that work this way is the Carlyle Group. On their payroll are people like : George Bush (Sr.), James Baker III and old premier John Major. The Carlyle Group is a private investment bank which doesn't come to the publics attention very often but it is one of the biggest US investors of the defense industry, telecom, property and financial services. What is the Carlyle Group? Who are the people behind the name? And how much power does Carlyle have?"

3. Military Industrial CONgressional Complex w/enough $ to add media.

Explains a revolving door for CON politicians.
Explains why Colin might want to lie to the UN.
Explains why * would so adamantly want no death tax, i.e. no tax on hundred-million dollar estates. (He inherits what he would make for his dad, going to war.)

Gives example of one business that would have
enough money and
enough connections and
enough want
to BUY OUR MEDIA by sitting their board members on each others boards, paying them all very well.

They could also buy into groups, such as churches, retirement associations, sports clubs, gun magazines, and on and on.

They could also buy into the extortion of our polititians, keeping even the best of our difficult to elect Dems from doing what needs to be done.

We we warned of the:
Military Industrial Complex

... add CONgressional, Media, Churches, corporations, associations, and groups to it, because it's just venture capital to infiltrate, cajole, and keep track of them.

4. Hope it makes the point that

it's not the companies, it's the individuals. You can set up a new corporation in about 24 hours. I believe the Carlyle Group is basically history at this point; it got too hot, and the players and investors have moved on.

What matters now is, where did they go?

Ditto re- Diebold.
