| 00:00:23 |
|
THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING. SO I WOULD JUST READ A QUICK PASSAGE FROM CHAPTER FOUR, AND THEN DO MY LITTLE... |
| 00:00:36 |
|
THIS IS A CHAPTER CALLED THE NEW TALIBAN. WIN IN GAME FOR THE TALIBAN'S TREASURER, HE WAS HURTLING... |
| 00:12:20 |
|
WHEN I STARTED LOOKING INTO HOW THE MONEY FUNCTIONS IN THE INSURGENT SYSTEM, AGAIN, THIS WAS WHAT... |
| 00:20:22 |
|
BECAUSE THEY ARE FILMING IS IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION, PLEASE STEP UP TO THE MICROPHONE FIRST. MICHELLE?... |
| 00:20:45 |
|
IS IT ON? |
| 00:20:47 |
|
CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW YOU COLLECTED ALL THE EVIDENCE AND WHAT YOUR FIELD |
| 00:20:53 |
|
SURE. SOME OF THE -- A LOT OF THE INTERVIEWS I DID MYSELF. I COLLECTED ABOUT FIVE YEARS OF HIDING... |
| 00:23:47 |
|
WHICH IS REALLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. SO SOMETIMES IT WORKED TO OUR ADVANTAGE AND OTHER TIMES IT... |
| 00:24:16 |
|
COULD YOU COMMENT ON TIES TO INTERNATIONAL BANKING IN TERMS OF PROCESSING ALL THAT MONEY? |
| 00:24:23 |
|
INTERNATIONAL BANKING ORGANIZATION? |
| 00:24:25 |
|
HOW IN TERMS OF A PROCESS THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY. |
| 00:24:29 |
|
WELL, I HAVE A CHAPTER ON THE MONEY TRAIL IN THE BOOK, AND I RESEARCHED THIS. THAT SOMETHING WHEN... |
| 00:27:27 |
|
IT'S KIND OF STUNNING TO SEE HOW MUCH THEY DON'T -- NOBODY HAS BOTHERED TO WORK ON THIS. |
| 00:27:45 |
|
SO DO YOU SEE ANY HOPE FOR AFGHANISTAN AS A UNIFIED STATE ANYTIME SOON? BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY IT HAS A... |
| 00:28:04 |
|
YEAH, I ACTUALLY THINK ABOUT AFGHANISTAN AS BEING MORE UNIFIED AS A NATION THAN PAKISTAN. THE AFGHANS... |
| 00:30:51 |
|
I AM JUST WONDERING WHAT THE INVOLVEMENT OF THE PAKISTANI GOVERNMENT WILL THERE BE TRIALS AND TO THEM... |
| 00:31:01 |
|
THAT IS ANOTHER ASPECT OF THE STORY THAT IT IS QUITE CLEAR AND I TRACE THIS IN MY BOOK FROM THE HISTORY... |
| 00:32:13 |
|
I HAVE A QUESTION I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT I AM DOING A DOCUMENTARY CALLED WHO IS WEARING FED EMBERS... |
| 00:32:58 |
|
ABSOLUTELY. THERE IS A SMALL POPULATION OF PEOPLE BOTH IN PAKISTAN, AFGHANISTAN, IRAN COMMENT, DUBAI... |
| 00:34:25 |
|
[INAUDIBLE] MAYBE BECAUSE THEY WON THE ELEMENTS IN PLACE AND THE GOVERNMENT AND THE POWERS THAT BE?... |
| 00:34:43 |
|
I THINK IS CERTAINLY BENEFITS THOSE IN POWER. OVERALL, WE SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING TO BOTH OF THOSE ... |
| 00:35:01 |
|
SO FOR THE AVERAGE PERSON IS THERE SOMETHING WE CAN DO TO HELP? IS IT TAKING A TRIP? DON'T USE DRUGS.... |
| 00:35:17 |
|
ONE THING I CAN TELL YOU FOR ALL OF YOU THAT ARE DEPRESSED AND WANT TO GO HOME AND SMOKE A JOINT.... |
| 00:36:41 |
|
[INAUDIBLE] IT IS MINOR BY AM WORRYING ABOUT THE JUSTIFICATION BEHIND IT ALL ON THEIR AND WHETHER... |
| 00:37:06 |
|
A GOOD QUESTION. THE TALIBAN HAS A BOGUS JUSTIFICATION THAT THEY EXPLAIN TO FARMERS THAT THEY PERSUADE... |
| 00:38:18 |
|
I AM CURIOUS LOOKING AT THE BOOK ON THE CIA WITH THE NATIONAL DRUG TRADE AND I'M CURIOUS TO THE CONTINUITY... |
| 00:38:46 |
|
SARICH ASE? |
| 00:38:48 |
|
YES. ONE DAY AFTER HURT INTERVIEW HE WAS FORCED TO RESIGN AND I CANNOT HELP BUT THINK THERE WAS A... |
| 00:39:04 |
|
I HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT THAT I DON'T KNOW HOW THE PENTAGON MAKES DECISIONS NOR DID I SEE THE INTERVIEW.... |
| 00:40:04 |
|
[INAUDIBLE] |
| 00:40:12 |
|
DIED AND EITHER I TRIED TO AVOID GETTING SUCKED AND TO THE CONSPIRACY THEORIES BUT IT IS FASCINATING... |
| 00:40:35 |
|
IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU SEE AN INCREASE OF THE HEROIN AS YOU GET FURTHER AWAY THE SPEAKS AGAINST THE IDEA... |
| 00:40:59 |
|
I THINK THERE ARE A LOT OF COMMUNITIES THAT ARE INVOLVED IN A GROWING POPPY IN AFGHANISTAN WHO COULD... |
| 00:44:28 |
