Investigative journalist George Webb says all roads lead to Norfolk. It’s the center of what’s been a flourishing and highly illicit trade in arms and weaponry. Here, Webb discusses who’s doing the dirty deals and who’s buying the illegal arms.
Bill Ayers, co-founder of the radical Weather Underground and controversial associate of President Obama, forecasts the collapse of the United States, bankrupted by runaway spending on an out-of-control arms race. “We are entering into a new arms race that’s going to spend us into catastrophe,” he tells a reporter from RT, the global Russian TV network.
In the far-ranging interview, Ayers also extols Occupy Wall Street while castigating NATO as “a military dictatorship” that’s merely “a fig leaf for the United States.” Additionally, he asserts that the US represents a greater threat to global stability than Iran, saying “invasion, aggression and occupation” have been the motivating factors behind all American involvement in wars over the past half-century.
This perhaps explains Obama’s 2008 remark that he intended to campaign in all 57 states — with Iraq, Kurdistan, Afghanistan, Somalia, Yemen, Pakistan and Libya all having been aggressively invaded, occupied, annexed and granted statehood over the past decade.
