you get the nation the world's largest superpower to go to war for you for your agenda to advance your expansionist or gender how do you do that and about sixty days and in summer two thousand and eight when it became clear that following john mccain from arizona where i live had a viable candidate see as president and knowing his unbelievable quite remarkable the national security and diplomatic corps have been saying routinely they say how it is that you've done a better job of profiling this then you know we got fifty billion a year that we're putting into the sixteen intelligence agencies walk and you know why tell the jets better and the simple answer is because this has been profiled from the inside whereas everyone else has been on the outside trying to sort of you know peer through a glass and darkly into something that you can only fully and accurately profile from the democracy i mean keep about adam smith here brought us this sort of notion of you know he sort of branded about around being mr you know free enterprise he envisioned markets and democracies at the level of community he did not envision that markets would be these enormous global capital markets that have the ability to freely pursuit of returns financial returns without regard to any other value out there so for example as finance committee coun i craft a federal pension law we took the funds under management from eight hundred billion in one thousand nine hundred eighty you take that legislation you go to two thousand and seven it went from eight hundred billion to sixteen thousand six hundred money right so you pull back in that and then you go eureka i found what i was looking for i found more money and of course you found money that's all and you were allowed to fish for i mean having crafted the law i can tell you if you fish know the value if you're a money manager you will be sued and you will lose because you're supposed to search only for values denominated in money ok well in that system what's not picked up in that net fisc foresight civil cohesion environmental sustainability go down every list that counts for a long term healthy sustainable community is not in there so how did how did this get imbedded where we thought this was a rational sensible thing to do and how the are not it states get branded with this mindset and that's what it is it is a shared mindset is called a consensus we're now branded with it is now called the washington consensus it's no longer the undermine our freedom how did that happen that's what that's what this series is about that's what you found on the como state website the idea is to for people have the tools to understand from their own perspective how this operates if you can see how this operates you'll figure out for yourself who did this and why it is being done if the challenge of this area is people you know if in fact they're sort of began their sort all same sort of you know quote unbelievable how could something of a systemic as their speech going in plain sight and yet unable to relate this to see it you know how can how can i be induced to freely embrace something that is not really true you know that money is smart of the people therefore maximize financial returns and trust us everything is going to turn out fine how did i personally come to believe something is you know as irrational as that yet that is the washington consensus that is the state of federal law having crafted a law in that area i can assure you that's the way it works by law at this point so how to how do something so unbelievable become something that we freely embrace and that's what criminal state is about it's meant to show the subtitle of the book of deception and self deceit we've been deceived and we're in the broader sense of those of us who embrace a shared mindset a consensus mindset there was a perception but there's also a self deceit we had to agree to be deceived we had to agree to pursue you know to maximize our financial returns to the exclusion of all other values because it gave us a certain you know whatever it is we sought you know financial returns which is you know whatever that is so how does this sort of thing happen and that's what that's what the book and the como state website are meant to show it's meant to give the viewer the reader the tools the tools of perception where they can see this for themselves otherwise remains in the realm of  on believable you know how but again that's a bit of a play because again we've been led to believe things that simply were not true clearly the intelligence that took us to war it's quite unbelievable looking back on this that we really were with false intelligence with fixed intelligence with fabricated intelligence to take this nation to blood and treasure to go to to go to war abroad to in effect discredit ourselves as a until you look at the facts again chromo state website guilt by association those are dorm facts can draw conclusions for you if you can't draw a conclusion based on confirmed facts there's really nothing anyone can do to help you anyway you've been sort of induced into this belief machine and whether you can be pulled back out of it with facts or not that's really up to your very very fact oriented species you know if we don't have the facts in front of us we may well perish how did this faith based deception grab some persuade us in such a fashion that we would allow ourselves to be taken to war and in order to do that you have to prepare to freely embrace the very forces or undermine your freedom in the case of financial domain which of my background you freely say that i really want my happiness my pursuit of happiness is dependent upon me for example having a very large account balance and for one k plan and that sort of fame by simply pursuing financial values to the exclusion of all other values you find that we've embraced a form of  environment that's non tangible where you can't really touch it feel it smell it that's where this type of organized crime operates so it's considerably more systemic and far more sinister than what we years i think of as the you know the operates and this is organized crime operating at scale and so to explain that and to make that tender bull and real to people for whom this is going to be quite you know quote believable again required seven years of but based on someone's firsthand experience who has been profiling this from the inside for twenty eight years so that story is being brought into the into the theory of consciousness sort of gradually and some people describe this as a about it's hidden behind that but criminal state series it was meant to provide a generic account to really test the waters to say what's going to be the response of very sophisticated people in diplomacy and national security all of whom said you know hundred percent say no my god there's absolutely true why didn't we understand this as well as you fellows do the other was to test it with a moderate and such or a jewish community or go and thank you thank you for distinguishing the broader jewish community from those the leats an extremist groups who are routinely portrayed as guilty by association simply because or at your age and that's not at all the case of what this is or what this is about so you find th and that's what this is  consensus reside that deed iraq had weapons of mass destruction all the sorts of intelligence we know were fixed to take us to war and a lack at what level does this criminality have to operate in order to do see so at least a critical mass of people in the congress and in the general population that we go along with this and so yes of course we believe in all this therefore let's go to war in iraq which of course had absolutely nothing call mainstream media and other key between domains like and between as a as a term coined by robert gates the defense secretary to say if you're if you're trying to have a former governor spaced own facts versus what you can be induced to believe you then you need to dominate those in between domains you need to have a substantial critical mass of influence and primarily in the media print media but also the visual media particularly  networks in order to induce us to believe things that simply were not true so what is the scope of the scope is vast the scope is very large the only thing in iraq and identified in this modus operandi and again the the modus operandi as a latin term aims the method of operating is how do you displace facts the facts are essential for informed choice with beliefs fictions to have the mark you know the target a targeted populace believe sincerely believe that they slayers are true so efficiently true that we would expend our blood and treasure we would put our you know youth in our military or we would deploy our military on behalf of this fiction so who would have who would have the capacity to do that and who would have the state of mind to do that other than a criminal syndicate and that's why i call this a criminal syndicate some people call th been used as a way to manipulate people how long as there have been people who have targeted fault and emotion and order to influence behavior you know this is an ancient method influencing behavior the only thing that i can find that is modern and the us is the technologies with which this can operate at scale media technology being the most obvious one of  how does this work in plain sight and part of this is a bit in what's called game theory that the book opens later chapter one page one and opens with a story of a of an economist robert altman who are not in two thousand  was given the nobel prize in economics for game theory and to his credit he said from jerusalem where he runs the center for rationality keep in mind i did not say the center for morality but for rationality which is a game theory notion he point checkers together and going back and forth playing a game and i can't you cheating i'm less and less inclined to you know want to play checkers with here again but non cooperative game theory is what this subject that specializes  that's when you don't quite know what your opponent is doing or indeed even who your opponent is which is the case for the state of israel which is the key opponent in this war game theory operates in part by profiling people so that you know when you provoke someone it's called an agent provocateur a model when you profile people in a certain amount of depth and be profiling nation and certain  th you know within acceptable range of probabilities were how they will respond when provoked all right and then then what's going to be the reaction to that reaction the reaction to that reaction is like an infinite regression right well that can be modeled when you have enough of the variables that are profiled to a certain degree you can begin to build algorithms around that it literally becomes a mathematical model that's what the israeli special same when they're doing planning has been used by war planners you know for quite a long time but the israelis have turned it into an art form in an agent provocateurs fashion what you provoke someone then you know how they're going to respond within an acceptable range of probabilities based on that response what's your reaction to that reaction to that reaction to that reaction like that that there's game theory that becomes a again algorithms you know if you know enclave and your numbers are very small but your ambitions are vast how do you force multipl a belief oriented crowd very very thought of market fundamentalist in part very pro israel they are keep in mind if you look back there was a magazine called adbusters and the subtitle of it is a great subtitle is called the we saw that fifty top twenty six of them were jewish so he asked a simple question he said why won't anyone say there are jewish and still to this day no one will ask that question why because in of the problem for asking the question you know why are fifty two percent of the neo cons the primary neo cons jewish when less than two percent of america population is dear so when you ask that question you go to the heart of this which is a belief based a common undisclosed bias is driving an agenda and that's how you do this displaced facts with beliefs here take people with an undisclosed bias and you put them you make sure they're in media you make sure they're in the think tanks education make sure that in those key in between domains so that people looking for the facts to which to have an informed choice you've got this operation once you had a classic asset like a george bush in place you cooked intelligence you know that you've got this dysfunctional personality inclined to operate in that and inclined to succumb to an israeli agenda unconventional warfare and this is a type of warfare he said the most challenging combatant is the people in between it's a very generic phrase but for example if you have a form of governance was placed on informed consent  choice and you're trying to get the united states government to wage war abroad what you do is you dominate those in between domains if i turn on the television between me and the facts on need for an informed choice where people like w spy so if i turn on c n n and i'm looking for the genuine facts it's very challenging because you have to disclose bias that is shaping what i can see what i thought was the new years to in effect bring me a message that persuaded me or facts that we now know were not true if i pick up the new york times and i'm trying to get the facts of gee should we really invade iraq and i read the news  judith miller she was not bringing me the new years she was writing me fixed intelligence meant to persuade me that indeed we should invade iraq and we fear if you now look back to the primary intelligence that we relied on was all fixed it was false it was phony it was fixed around a pre determined agenda so if you dominate those in between domains and medias or there's a primary domain if you're if your freedom is dependent upon your having the facts to make informed choices which is the premise of democracy then if you're organized crime trying to out scale there what you want to do is dominate those in between domains wolf blitzer on c n n being a classic case in with miller the new york times again being a classic case in point so you call the book guilt by association because if you're waging war in the sheard field of consciousness that's where a consensus resides in that shared field you know sort of a belief that we share but you can't really touch smell or you know see that domain if you're trying to if you're shaping that consensus believes the way th remember the weapons of mass destruction that saddam hussein had if you look back all of those were false yet we had a consensus that they were true that is how organized crime operates or scale now it displaces the facts consensus reside that deed iraq had weapons of mass destruction all the sorts of intelligence we know were fixed to take us to war and a lack at what level does this criminality have to operate in order to do see so laced a critical mass of people in the congress and in the general population that we go along with this and so yes of course we believe in all this therefore let's go to war in iraq which of course had absolutely nothing as we now know to do with nine eleven so what's the scale of what's operates very large scale that's why this this sent it needed to really have a critical mass of dominance and what we call mainstream media and other key between domains that if you're trying to have a former governor spaced own facts versus what you can be induced to believe you then you need to dominate those in between domains  substantial critical mass of influence and primarily in media print media but also the visual media particularly the networks in order to induce us to believe things that simply were not  how do you displace facts the facts are essential for informed choice with beliefs fictions to have the mark you know the target a targeted populace believe sincerely believe that they say is the true fish true that we would expand our blood and treasure we would put our you know youth in our military or we would deploy our military on behalf of this fiction so who would have who would have the capacity to do that and who
