CrossTalk: US Strikes Gold in Afghanistan?

[hotsatsuma2]

FREE GOLD

The USA discovers free gold in Afghanistan.

In liberating Afghanistan and bringing democracy to that country the free gold will be paid for by the american tax payer and the profits go to the multi nationals, the global elite, the industrial military complex. Paying the true bill will be the people of Afghanistan and the american public who will pay for the debt and the world suffering intense instability due to USA corruption.

The stupidest show on earth.

[jugeen7]

rothschild's soldiers are everywhere!

[DCMelphemus]

Lavelle,

As you so meticulously distinguish between Russia and the Soviet Union, why not finally distinguish between America and the United States? You surely ought to know better...

[jugeen7]

@DCMelphemus coz amerika is still there and SU not

[kashchiza]

Fuck Pakistan first, then it easy to stay in Afghanistan. Pakistan always are the problem for the world. I hate this fucking Pakistan.

[junior1nr]

corruption

[mycompasstv]

the only resource in Afghanistan is heroin... 

[billclymer]

china bought the lions share of the oil contracts in Iraq

[dancingforrain2012]

Peter Lavelle is a great interviewer.

[StormCloudsGathering]

This second visitor is full of shit. What double speak. Yes we knew of these resources since the 1970s and yes Russia invaded Afghanistan in the 80s and now the US is there, but to say that 1 trillion in minerals is motive for war is Conspiracy theories!!!? This guy must think we are idiots.

[morbidangelofdeath1]

oh goody. first it was oil now it's gold is their main objective for being in the middle east,not terrorism. if this story is true and in fact their is gold their expect "terrorism" to rise to an all time high so more soldiers can be shipped overseas to die for the war machine amerika that runs on blood.

[seanboy80]

This is a smokes screen. They would rather us believe the US is there for gold minerals than to believe the real conspiracy -- the US is there for opium trafficking and a major oil pipeline. And in light of the recent oil tragedy in the gulf, this could have gotten real ugly really fast if they didn't come up with something to deflect that fact.

[handydude6]

The only Gold in Afganistan is the Opium. The Rothschild puppets of the Vatican, have been moving drugs for centuries. Now instead of the Brits moving the drugs openly, the CIA moves the drugs for the Rothschilds.

[dikkydoo1]

@handydude6 conspiracy nut - can you prove a word of what you have said? or is this a direct quote from alex 'CIA' Jones?

[handydude6]

@dikkydoo1 In YouTube Search; type in Opium, CIA, Vietnam,

There are men who did it coming forward. Same goes for Cocaine in S America.

[dikkydoo1]

@handydude6 thanks i will check it out - sorry for calling you a nut i take that back.

[kosmoincalgary]

The parallels to the old colonial system of invading people for their resource wealth to feed the motherland is very disturbing. It looks as though we havent progressed at all since those days.

[WJValente]

If Afghanistan has gold then it belongs to Afghanistan!

[streetfightspdx]

That Guy "Marvin" Looks Like A Used Car Salesman...His Suit and Tie Is From the 70's...Who Could Believe That Guy or Call Him An "Expert"...

[opAir01]

maybe democracy is just an excuse for plunging ... very similar to colonialism only with different name.

snaky english and america.

[genefire]

This has too much PROPAGANDA. How can that guy say that the Afghanistan people want us to stay. NO THEY DON'T! They say, "Get out of our country so that we can turn our attention at fighting the Taliban and the Warlords". A female member of the Afghan Parliament said this to the UN and she was on DemocracyNow last year sometime saying just that. She said, most people that are fighting the Foreigners isn't just Taliban they are all fighting Occupation she said. They want us to GO HOME.

[mattghtpa]

Ah yes, Marvin throws the old pejorative "conspiracy theorist" label to of course marginalize and to sufficiently paint whom ever with ridicule that would question the US/Military industrial complex hegemony march across Afghanistan’s resources rich lands.

Typical…

[genefire]

This has the wrong guest! They should have had an Afghan person on that doesn't want occupation nor the Taliban. This is a very westernized conversation over someone else's country and their resources. Just like if you fight against occupation your labeled a terrorist. The War on Drugs brought us more drugs, The war on terrorism brought us more terrorism, this is a business and this round table doesn't even talk about the real issues.

[TexasBeaner214]

how can the US Strikes Gold in Afghanistan when that country aint even ours call it what it is the NWO is stealing from the Habibs

[dontblockmedk]

There are nearly infinite resources to create energy. But capitalism purposely uses oil, coal and other resources that ARE actually scarce, ONLY for profit and control.

If we used the resources we have, including substitutes, EFFICIENTLY, we could produce an ABUNDANCE of all our needs. Money/property systems are designed so small groups can own everything while everyone else is a slave.

Peter should have a "bunny" going on and on across his desk :)

[Charmer4856]

It was a PR campaign especially if they knew about it years ago....and its only one way out....just pack up and leave

[firefox8192]

so now we know why european countrys want to rule by any means necessary. of couse democracy must be installed in Afganistan to better expedite the wealth for white supremacist interest.

[loveliberty1776]

consider the timing... they just discovered maps of Russian geological surveys... moreover Alexander the Great knew Afghanistan was awash in mineral resources... it's to justify the abdication of an exit strategy and permanent U.S. military presence in the region...

[BadWithNames123]

in a year from now there will be a video on youtube called "the guy with the bow tie was wrong" : P

thumps up!

[saintkatanalegacy]

@BadWithNames123 i hope it isn't jim rogers ;)

[william0873]

Conspiracy theory?So the usgs are conspiracy theorists now?2007 report is just coming to light for most. US history shows our interests which sure isnt freedom or the people of the counties we invade, never has been. It's been mostly for war profiteers to profit or to take over resources by putting in puppet dictators. We used terrorism to put the shah of Iran in power then when he was thrown out we buddied up to saddam n helped him til we had no further use for him the we invaded

[goldstep999]

Peter Lavelle and Anas from London - good job!

The two old dudes from the US are either living in the clouds or are damn good liers.

[amareto35]

@goldstep999 What you expect..They are Americans.."They are always right, and the rest of us are evil"....Ghengis Khan, Alexander the Great, the British Empire and I guess every one remembers what happened to the Soviets in Afghanistan..All these Empires were defeated and humulated in Afghanistan..The Russians sent 500000 soilders to Afghanistan..

[MyRafi123]

@goldstep999 he is laying , Afghan do want the US do stay here, he is one of those Extremest Arab Muslim

[FreedomAtRisk]

hey bow tie fuck you

[maugustyniak]

Holy shit, that Marvin has his geeky mouth open 100% of the time. He's PATHETIC! State building instead of nation building? This senile old Joo seriously thinks people think they're two different things.

[Squallleonheartfan]

According to AP The untapped minerals cost 3 trillion USD.

[72hakim]

Is it really hard to understand that minerals is the reason America went into Afghanistan in the first place. The American people are beginning to look more and more stupid as each day goes by. It's a fact that a not one person from Afghanistan attacked America, the media should say that more often.

[MrGAB4444]

Look at what started this whole 'war against terror' (all the while leaving the US borders wide open and enableing illegal entry. With all the screaming evidence now out there, the world needs to re-investigate 911 and answer many legitimate questions . Can you imagine Bush and Obama working for the same NWO 'eye' at the top of the pyramide shown on the dollar bill? They are running you from one crisis to the next while moving steadily ahead taking more and more control. Wake up folks.

[ZedAlfa273]

I think its really cool that the Afghani People have decided to give all their minerals & mineral rights to the United States, as well as growing all that opium for our CIA, Big Pharma, and all US heroin addicts.

Thanks Afghanistan, you guys are awesome.

[hxasmirl]

just 'protect' the wealth

[wannaruwae]

predatory capitalists and banksters in the u.s. will never leave from afgahnistan. they'll debvour all natural resources in afghanistan and keep afghnistan in chaos.

[remfrancis]

...stinks! I guess John Perkins would tell us exactly why it being announced now, and Peter is spot on. There is more hate on the way for the USA, and that hate should really be against the corporatists (Fascists) behind this latest Pentagon boob.

[SAMsite5000]

Does he just hate the USA

[Lucifer986]

@SAMsite5000 know he just like to call out lies and propaganda

[MrMemag]

@SAMsite5000 I think criticism is highly patriotic.
