FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Press TV has conducted an interview with documentary film maker, David Lawley Wakelin with Alternative Iraq Inquiry who has made films criticizing the Iraq war, to further shed light on the issue. What follows is an approximate transcription of the interview.
Press TV: Mr. Wakelin, welcome. You interrupted the Leveson inquiry as Tony Blair was testifying and you called Blair a war criminal, first of all why don’t you elaborate for us why you think he is a war criminal?
Wakelin: Well, I think it’s become very clear to all of us, many people in this country that Blair in fact made money from invading Iraq, from oil companies and from [US investment bank] JP Morgan.
If you look on Google JP Morgan and the Iraq bank 3 months after we invaded or England invaded Iraq, JP Morgan and a lot of other American banks supported the Iraqi bank for about 20 billion dollars to just uphold the country until the war would be over and then they could pay them back by mortgaging the oil.
Then just six months after he left office Blair was started to be paid six million dollars a year and this is through a BBC website, it’s not a conspiracy theory, it’s a fact that he was paid six million dollars a year and still is probably by JP Morgan for advice. So it smacks of corruption, the fact that I think he thought and Bush thought that they would get away with that war.
In the same year that we invaded Bush was on that USS enterprise saying that it was “mission accomplished” and I didn’t think that by the time Blair left office some 6 years later that he would be- the bombs would still be going off, massive civil war would be there and, you know, half a million people or more would have lost their lives whilst he was still being paid by oil companies from Iraq and of course the Kuwaiti royal family gave him a massive gift of millions as well as a few other oil companies ever since and there is a lot of people in this country who understand now that he did it for his own ends.
Press TV: Well, Mr. Wakelin when you did make that comment there in the Leveson inquiry “JP Morgan paid Blair off for the Iraq war,” Mr. Blair himself said that “for the record I want to say that that is not true,” you say in your reference that this is something for instance that the BBC has reported, according to some estimates over one million people of course were killed in the wars that Tony Blair and George W. Bush waged in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Do you have any hopes that he may one day appear at The Hague for instance for war crimes to face evidence or to defend himself when he says for instance right now that those allegations against me, they’re not true. Do you think that there will be a time when he has to face a court of law on this and defend himself?
Wakelin: well, first of all I think he’s great and amazing to think that you know, one activist who breaks into the Leveson inquiry has shocked Blair enough for him to have to say anything- if he was innocent surely he would just ignore it but the fact that he has quickly jumped up and said “no it’s not true” is like somebody with a guilty conscience.
You know, whether he ever gets to court that’s another thing. Taking on the American government, Bush and Blair and the British government it’s just an enormous thing. There are lots of websites where you can join petitions to get Blair indicted for war crimes and perhaps one day we can hope that he will be taken down to the Hague but it’s a long road and we can only hope that it will happen. There is plenty of evidence to point towards it.
The sad thing is that the Chilcot inquiry [so named after its chairman Sir John Chilcot] over here in England which is known as the Iraq inquiry won’t be looking into any criminal activity, they’re only be making inquiry into what went wrong in the decision-making by the politicians and the government and putting guidelines towards that but they won’t be looking at all the money that washed around at the time and that Blair is still making.
