Was This Interview Produced by Bechtel or Haliburton?

We actually found this clip just by accident, but it shows the problem we have with FloraTV. This is John Bolton, who is a Bush Administration bag man being interviewed by the Hoover Institute, which is a fake research institute that sits on the Stanford campus.

Hoover receives funding from oil interests and defense complex interests like Bechtel, that make money from no-bid contracts for rebuilding countries that the US devastates with bombing and occupation. Bolton gives a long-winded response, but it is disingenuous. He wants Iran to be considered a threat (as Iraq was a threat of course). What he does not declare is why. It’s obvious that it is because Bechtel and other contributors pay him (either directly or indirectly) to say this, just as they pay the Hoover Institute to publish fake research. If Iran can be attacked, then Bechtel and Haliburton will make a mint “rebuilding it.” The new joke with our privatized military is that we turn over targeting to the contractors who will then select the buildings they most want contracts to rebuild and have them bombed. With an increasingly privatized military, Bolton and others desire a permanent war — because it’s profitable, not that it has a single thing to do with US national security.

Bolton: International Man of Mystery?

Why is John Bolton considered an expert on foreign policy? He is an attorney and a bulldog for the administration. He was placed as a representative to the UN by Bush to alienate people at the UN, that is to act a bulldog. He has no foreign policy background, no military background, nothing that would put him in a position to be interviewed on international topics.

Conservative Experts?

Who are these people the right sends as “experts?” See the list:

• Cheney on military and torture matters (hated by the military, received 5 deferments from participating in Vietnam, send major contracts to Haliburton and lives in perpetual conflict of interest)
• McCain on military matters (served in the military, but was one of the worst pilots in the history of the US Navy — a grand total of 5 planes crashed to his name, the final one where he was captured — would have been grounded, if his father was not an admiral)
• Sarah Palin on energy (no need to go into this one)
• John Bolton on foreign policy (no experience, no objectivity, corrupt)
• Condoleezza Rice on foreign policy (widely considered the worst National Security Advisor in history — was utterly dominated by Rumsfeld and Cheney, also considered one of the worst Secretaries of State in US history. A hand puppet. Holds a Ph.D., but her observations are so trite, it almost impossible to tell.)

Why does the right consistently present people of so little natural capability and so little background and present them as experts?

Aside from lacking international qualifications or intellectual capability,  he is compromised by his closeness to large defense contractors who like to attack countries so they can gain contracts.

FloraTV

The fact that FloraTV does not state the funding or biases of its interviews significantly debases their credibility. They do this in economics and politics, and merely present the “ideas” of elite interests. FloraTV is a joke. If you want to know what the most corrupt people are thinking and what they want, head over to https://fora.tv/fora/showthread.php?t=258. Their tagline itself is a joke. It reads “feed your inner genius.” We have a better tagline for Flora  – “Indoctrinate Your Inner Mental Midget.”
