        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       [phone]

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!

        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.
