Merchant of Death

[747heven]

lrd of war is based on viktor bout

[Ricyoung1]

This Farah is an idiot, he thinks aircraft has a stick-on decals. What a moron

[Ajacks1911]

No one was complaining when Bout provided his services U.S. allies or the U.N. This whole "war on terror" nonsense just made the govt. single him out. And I'm guessing a lot of contractors and weapons manufacturers w/ friends in the govt. don't appreciate competition.

[Maltseff]

I can't understand it. Bout never commited a crime in the US, nor was he a US citizen. So, why does a country, where guns are sold freely, where chidlren come to schools and shoot each other want him?

I believe he crossed someone's plans or was the main competitor of the US in selling arms and that's why the want him.

What a worthless crowed to watch. These people have not ever known for a fact anything about Victor Bout. The script read by Farah is the same-old-song this person read for the last seven years. I am asking, since they all very sure of what they are saying, and since they have all the facts, how come they failed for more than 10 years to prove it??? Makes you wonder, who are they protected?

well, this video is 1 y.o. and quite a lot of things have changed since: Bout is in Thai jail awaiting charges or extradition for past 6 mths.

so, it is a bit unusual that these guys spent 1hr talking all this, and wrote a book about him - and yet up today they couldn't make updates regarding the LATEST development of their story !

or perhaps they did, but no videos wer posted yet? would be interesting to see them.

The book is interesting, its a good read. They do mention the history of Bout being blurred and not clear and even quote the different research done to if he was really part of the KGB or not. They aren't creating a "conspiracy theory". I find it interesting that people are ready to judge the research done by these journalists and not even read the book. Read it first and make your own research. I am still not sure about Bout, but he doesn't seem completely legit.

[xenzuva]

Wow, what a drawn out "theory"!! Whew.

[xenzuva]

These guys aren't sure of the truth of what they are saying. They literally choke on their words. They don't speak from their hearts- their weak body language tells all.

"Bout thought [he cold get away] because the New World Order was vulnerable."

This quote says it all. But they neglect the fact that WHEREVER the US goes, there is boom of illegal drugs, violence, and "free sex" - world cancer. And they try to cover this with accusing one man! haha lol ROTFL!

[xenophilist]

wow that guy is hard to listen to even though what he is saying is really interesting.. did he write a book? Maybe he is more comfortable with writing, I'd love to read more about this. Does NAE have any publications on this topic or books to books to suggest?

[xenophilist]

I missed the first part of the video, Merchant of Death is the name of their book.. great. Any other suggested readings would be appreciated.

[kruzzhh]

if bout is selling arms, who are the people that provide the money to buy those arms? certainly, it's not only taylor.

[pcmacro]

contractors, warlords, dictators, etc.
