This man is Patrick Clawson, and here he's speaking on behalf of the lobbying organization WINEP (Washington Institute for Near-East Policy) which is an offshoot from IAPAC, which is the largest pro-Israel lobbying group in the US.

Here he is, talking about creating incidents to increase pressure and create public reception to the idea of war with Iran, for profit. And now we see in the current news, some of these very ideas coming to fruition.

Pay close attention to the tricks of the military-industrial complex. Don't let them trick you.

"I mean look people, Iranian submarines periodically go down, some day one of them might not come up, who would know why? We can do a variety of things if we wish to increase the pressure... We are in the game of using covert means against the Iranians. We could get nastier.”

Do you think he got fired or promoted for telling the truth so blatantly?

He definitely didn't get fired for this. This happened a long time ago and he was still on WINEP for years after.

This is actually a good mind set to have. Wanting to start wars for these think tanks is noble and you'll probably get a raise or higher position. Go to Yale and start writign papers about how you wish to bomb Iran and talk about the stretagies and false flags in which you could achieve these goals and you might jsut get a teacher who works covertly for the CIA to put you under his wing.
