Loreta Napoleoni govori o tome kako joj se ukazala prilika da razgovara sa članovima veoma nepristupačnih italijanskih Crvenih brigada - iskustvu koje je u njoj probudilo interesovanje za terorizam koje već dugi niz godina ne jenjava. Ona opisuje složene finansijske tokove koji su temelj održanja terorističkih organizacija i na veliko iznenađenje otkriva veze između pranja novca i Akta o patriotizmu u SAD.

I'm going to show you how terrorism
0
1000
2000
Pokazaću vam kako terorizam
00:18
actually interacts with our daily life.
1
3000
3000
zapravo utiče na naš svakodnevni život.
00:21
15 years ago I received a phone call from a friend.
2
6000
4000
Pre petnaest godina prijatelj me je pozvao telefonom.
00:25
At the time he was looking after the rights of political prisoners
3
10000
3000
U to vreme se bavio pravima političkih zatvorenika
00:28
in Italian jails.
4
13000
3000
u italijanskim zatvorima.
00:31
He asked me if I wanted to interview the Red Brigades.
5
16000
4000
Pitao me je da li želim da obavim razgovor sa Crvenim brigadama.
00:35
Now, as many of you may remember,
6
20000
2000
Dakle, kao što se mnogi od vas sećaju,
00:37
the Red Brigades was a terrorist, Marxist organization
7
22000
4000
Crvene brigade su bile teroristička, marksistička organizacija
00:41
which was very active in Italy
8
26000
2000
koja je bila veoma aktivna u Italiji
00:43
from the 1960s until the mid-1980s.
9
28000
4000
od šezdesetih do sredine osamdesetih godina dvadesetog veka.
00:47
As part of their strategy
10
32000
2000
deo njihove strategije, bilo je
00:49
the Red Brigades never spoke with anybody, not even with their lawyers.
11
34000
4000
da Crvene brigade nikada ne razgovaraju ni sa kim, čak ni sa sopstvenim advokatima.
00:53
They sat in silence through their trails,
12
38000
4000
Na suđenjima bi sedeli bez reči,
00:57
waving occasionally at family and friends.
13
42000
4000
povremeno bi mahnuli članovima porodice ili prijateljima.
01:01
In 1993 they declared the end of the armed struggle.
14
46000
6000
1993. su proglasili okončanje oružane borbe.
01:07
And they drew a list of people with whom they would talk,
15
52000
2000
I sastavili su listu ljudi sa kojima bi pristali da razgovaraju,
01:09
and tell their story.
16
54000
2000
i da ispričaju ono što žele.
01:11
And I was one of those people.
17
56000
3000
I ja sam bila jedna od tih ljudi.
01:14
When I asked my friend why the Red Brigades want to talk to me,
18
59000
3000
Kada sam prijatelja upitala zašto Crvene brigade žele da razgovarju sa mnom,
01:17
he said that the female members of the organization
19
62000
4000
odgovorio je da su me žene, članice organizacije
01:21
had actually supported my name.
20
66000
3000
zapravo podržale.
01:24
In particular, one person had put it forward.
21
69000
3000
Jedna me je od njih kandidovala.
01:27
She was my childhood friend.
22
72000
3000
Bila je to moja prijateljica iz detinjstva.
01:30
She had joined the Red Brigades
23
75000
2000
Ona se pridružila Crvenim brigadama
01:32
and became a leader of the organization.
24
77000
3000
i postala je jedna od vođa organizacije.
01:35
Naturally, I didn't know that
25
80000
2000
Naravno, ja o tome nisam ništa znala
01:37
until the day she was arrested.
26
82000
2000
sve dok nije bila uhapšena.
01:39
In fact, I read it in the newspaper.
27
84000
4000
Zapravo, i to sam pročitala iz novina.
01:43
At the time of the phone call
28
88000
2000
U vreme kad su me pozvali
01:45
I just had a baby,
29
90000
2000
upravo sam rodila dete
01:47
I successfully completed a management buyout
30
92000
2000
i uspešno sam okončala preuzimanje kompanije
01:49
to the company I was working with,
31
94000
3000
sa kojom sam poslovala,
01:52
and the last thing I wanted to do was to go back home
32
97000
3000
i poslednje što sam želela bilo je da se vratim kući
01:55
and touring the high-security prisons.
33
100000
3000
i da obilazim zatvore sa maksimalnim obezbeđenjem
01:58
But this is exactly what I did
34
103000
3000
Ali sam upravo to uradila
02:01
because I wanted to know
35
106000
2000
jer sam želela da otkrijem
02:03
what had turned my best friend
36
108000
2000
šta je to uticalo na moju prijateljicu
02:05
into a terrorist,
37
110000
2000
i navelo je da postane terorista
02:07
and why she'd never tried to recruit me.
38
112000
4000
i zbog čega nikada nije pokušala da mene privoli da im se pridružim.
02:11
(Laughter)
39
116000
2000
(Smeh)
02:13
(Applause)
40
118000
3000
(Aplauz)
02:16
So, this is exactly what I did.
41
121000
5000
I tako, upravo to sam i uradila.
02:21
Now, I found the answer very quickly.
42
126000
4000
Odgovor sam, doduše, dobila vrlo brzo.
02:25
I actually had failed
43
130000
2000
U stvari nisam odgovarala
02:27
the psychological profiling of a terrorist.
44
132000
3000
psihološkom profilu teroriste.
02:30
The center committee of the Red Brigades
45
135000
2000
Centralni komitet Crvenih brigada
02:32
had judged me too single-minded
46
137000
2000
procenio je da sam isuviše jasno orijentisana
02:34
and too opinionated to become a good terrorist.
47
139000
4000
i da zbog svojih ubeđenja nikada ne bih bila dobar terorista.
02:38
My friend, on the other hand, she was a good terrorist
48
143000
3000
Moja je prijateljica, s druge strane, bila dobar terorista,
02:41
because she was very good at following orders.
49
146000
3000
jer je veoma uspešno sledila naređenja.
02:44
She also embraced violence.
50
149000
3000
A isto tako je rado prihvatila nasilje.
02:47
Because she believed that the only way
51
152000
2000
Jer je poverovala da nema drugog načina,
02:49
to unblock what, at the time,
52
154000
3000
da se otkoči ono što se u to vreme
02:52
was known as a blocked democracy,
53
157000
2000
zvalo zakočenom demokratijom.
02:54
Italy, a country run by the same party for 35 years
54
159000
4000
Italija, zemlja kojom je vladala ista partija već 35 godina
02:58
was the arms struggle.
55
163000
4000
bila je poprište oružane borbe.
03:02
At the same time, while I was interviewing the Red Brigades,
56
167000
3000
Istovremeno, dok sam radila intervjue sa Crvenim brigadama,
03:05
I also discovered that their life was not ruled
57
170000
3000
otkrila sam da njihovim životima ne upravlja
03:08
by politics or ideology,
58
173000
3000
ni politika ni ideologija,
03:11
but actually was ruled by economics.
59
176000
3000
već da njima upravlja ekonomija.
03:14
They were constantly short of cash.
60
179000
3000
Neprestano im je nedostajalo gotovine.
03:17
They were constantly searching for cash.
61
182000
3000
Neprestano su tragali za izvorima gotovine.
03:20
Now, contrary to what many people believe,
62
185000
2000
Nasuprot onome što većina ljudi misli,
03:22
terrorism is actually a very expensive business.
63
187000
4000
terorizam je veoma skup poduhvat.
03:26
I'll give you an idea.
64
191000
2000
Daću vam primer.
03:28
In the 1970s, the turnover of the Red Brigades
65
193000
5000
Sedamdesetih godina, promet sredstava Crvenih brigada
03:33
on a yearly basis
66
198000
2000
na godišnjem nivou
03:35
was seven million dollars.
67
200000
2000
bio je sedam miliona dolara.
03:37
This is roughly between 100
68
202000
2000
To je otprilike između 100
03:39
and 150 million, today.
69
204000
2000
i 150 miliona danas.
03:41
Now, you know, if you live underground
70
206000
3000
I sada, ako živite u ilegali
03:44
it's really hard to produce this amount of money.
71
209000
5000
veoma je teško doći do tolikog novca.
03:49
But this also explains why, when I was interviewing the Red Brigades,
72
214000
4000
Ali istovremeno to objašnjava zašto su svi, i Crvene brigade,
03:53
and then, later on, other arms organizations,
73
218000
3000
a kasnije i druge oružane organizacije
03:56
including members of al-Zarqawi group in the Middle East,
74
221000
5000
uključujući i članove al-Zarkavijeve grupe na Bliskom Istoku
04:01
everybody was extremely reluctant
75
226000
3000
veoma nerado
04:04
to talk about ideology, or politics.
76
229000
3000
govorili o ideologiji ili o politici.
04:07
Because they had no idea.
77
232000
2000
Jer nisu imali šta da kažu.
04:09
The political vision of a terrorist organization
78
234000
4000
Politički stav terorističke organizacije
04:13
is decided by the leadership,
79
238000
3000
određuje njeno vođstvo,
04:16
which, generally, is never more than five to seven people.
80
241000
3000
koje, po pravilu, čini tek pet do sedam ljudi.
04:19
All the others do, day in and day out,
81
244000
3000
Ostali, jedino što rade iz dana u dan,
04:22
is search for money.
82
247000
2000
jeste da traže novac.
04:24
Once, for example, I was interviewing
83
249000
2000
Jednom prilikom, razgovarala sam sa
04:26
this part-timer from the Red Brigades.
84
251000
3000
jednim povremenim članom Crvenih brigada.
04:29
It was a psychiatrist. He loved sailing.
85
254000
2000
On je bio psihijatar. Obožavao je jedrenje.
04:31
He was a really keen sailor. And he had this beautiful boat.
86
256000
4000
Bio je strastveni moreplovac. I imao je prekrasan brod.
04:35
And he told me that the best time of his life
87
260000
2000
I ispričao mi je da je najbolji period njegovog života bilo
04:37
was when he was a member of the Red Brigades
88
262000
3000
vreme kada je pripadao Crvenim brigadama
04:40
and he went sailing, every summer, back and forth
89
265000
2000
jer je svakog leta jedrio do Libana i nazad
04:42
from Lebanon, where he would pick up
90
267000
2000
gde bi preuzimao
04:44
Soviet weapons from the PLO,
91
269000
2000
sovjetsko oružje od PLOa
04:46
and then carry them all the way to Sardinia
92
271000
3000
i prevozio bi ga do Sardinije
04:49
where the other arms organization from Europe would go
93
274000
3000
gde bi drugi oružani pokreti Evrope dolazili
04:52
and take their share of the arms.
94
277000
3000
i uzimali pripadajuće kontingente oružja.
04:55
For that service the Red Brigades were actually paid a fee,
95
280000
4000
Za tu su uslugu Crvene brigade naplaćivale honorar,
04:59
which went to fund their organization.
96
284000
3000
koji je odlazio u fond iz koga su se finansirale njihove aktivnosti.
05:02
So, because I am a trained economist
97
287000
3000
Tako, budući da sam po struci ekonomista
05:05
and I think in economic terms,
98
290000
2000
i stvari sagledavam iz tog ugla,
05:07
all of the sudden I thought,
99
292000
2000
u jednom trenutku sam pomislila
05:09
maybe there is something here.
100
294000
2000
da tu možda ima nečega.
05:11
Maybe there is a link, a commercial link,
101
296000
2000
Možda postoji veza, kroz trgovinu,
05:13
between one organization and another one.
102
298000
4000
između ove organizacije i neke druge organizacije.
05:17
But it was only when I interviewed
103
302000
3000
Ali tek kada sam razgovarala sa
05:20
Mario Moretti, the head of the Red Brigades,
104
305000
4000
Mariom Moretijem, liderom Crvenih brigada,
05:24
the man who kidnapped and killed Aldo Moro,
105
309000
3000
čovekom koji je oteo i ubio Alda Mora,
05:27
Italian former prime minister,
106
312000
3000
bivšeg italijanskog premijera,
05:30
that I finally realized
107
315000
2000
shvatila sam
05:32
that terrorism is actually business.
108
317000
3000
da je terorizam zapravo poslovni poduhvat.
05:35
I was having lunch with him
109
320000
2000
Sastali smo se u vreme ručka
05:37
in a high-security prison in Italy.
110
322000
2000
u zatvoru maksimalnog obezbeđenja u italiji.
05:39
And as we were eating,
111
324000
3000
I dok smo ručali,
05:42
I had the distinct feeling
112
327000
2000
imala sam osećaj da sam se opet
05:44
that I was back in the city of London,
113
329000
3000
našla u londonskom Sitiju,
05:47
having lunch with a fellow banker or an economist.
114
332000
4000
i da ručam sa kolegom bankarom ili ekonomistom.
05:51
This guy thought in the same way I did.
115
336000
4000
Ovaj je tip razmišljao na isti način kao ja.
05:55
So, I decided that I wanted to investigate the economics of terrorism.
116
340000
6000
Tada sam odlučila da želim da se upustim u istraživanje ekonomije terorizma.
06:01
Naturally, nobody wanted to fund my research.
117
346000
4000
Naravno, moje istraživanje niko nije hteo da finansira.
06:05
In fact, I think many people thought that I was a bit crazy.
118
350000
2000
U stvari, mislim da su mnogi ljudi smatrali da sam malo šašava.
06:07
You know, that woman that goes around to foundations
119
352000
3000
Znate, žena koja obilazi razne fondacije
06:10
asking for money, thinking about the economics of terrorism.
120
355000
4000
i traži novac, razmišljajući o ekonomiji terorizma.
06:14
So, in the end, I took a decision
121
359000
3000
I tako sam na kraju donela odluku koja
06:17
that, in retrospect, did change my life.
122
362000
3000
mi je, kad pogledam unazad, promenila život.
06:20
I sold my company,
123
365000
2000
Prodala sam svoju kompaniju,
06:22
and funded the research myself.
124
367000
3000
i sama sam finansirala istraživanje.
06:25
And what I discovered
125
370000
2000
I ono što sam otkrila
06:27
is this parallel reality,
126
372000
2000
jeste jedna paralelna stvarnost,
06:29
another international economic system,
127
374000
4000
alternativni ekonomski sistem,
06:33
which runs parallel to our own,
128
378000
3000
koji postoji paralelno sa ovim našim,
06:36
which has been created by arms organizations
129
381000
2000
koji su stvorili oružani pokreti
06:38
since the end of World War II.
130
383000
2000
po završetku II svetskog rata.
06:40
And what is even more shocking
131
385000
2000
A što je bilo još gore,
06:42
is that this system
132
387000
4000
taj je sistem
06:46
has followed, step by step, the evolution
133
391000
3000
u stopu pratio razvojne faze
06:49
of our own system,
134
394000
2000
našeg ekonomskog sistema
06:51
of our Western capitalism.
135
396000
2000
Zapadnog kapitalizma.
06:53
And there are three main stages.
136
398000
3000
I tu postoje tri glavna stadijuma.
06:56
The first one is the state sponsor of terrorism.
137
401000
3000
Prvi jeste terorizam pod patronatom države.
06:59
The second one is the privatization of terrorism.
138
404000
3000
Drugi je privatizacija terorizma.
07:02
And the third, of course, is the globalization of terrorism.
139
407000
4000
I treći, naravno, jeste globalizacija terorizma.
07:06
So, state sponsor of terrorism,
140
411000
3000
I tako je državni terorizam
07:09
feature of the Cold War.
141
414000
2000
odlika perioda hladnog rata.
07:11
This is when the two superpowers were fighting
142
416000
2000
U to vreme su se dve super-sile sukobljavale
07:13
a war by proxy,
143
418000
2000
posredno u okršajima
07:15
along the periphery of the sphere of influence,
144
420000
3000
na linijama razdvajanja njihovih uticajnih sfera,
07:18
fully funding arms organizations.
145
423000
3000
gde su u potpunosti finansirale oružane pokrete.
07:21
A mix of legal and illegal activities is used.
146
426000
3000
Služili su se i legalnim i ilegalnim aktivnostima.
07:24
So, the link between crime and terror
147
429000
3000
Pa je tako veza kriminala i terorizma
07:27
is established very early on.
148
432000
3000
uspostavljena već na samim počecima.
07:30
And here is the best example,
149
435000
2000
Evo najboljeg primera,
07:32
the Contras in Nicaragua, created by the CIA,
150
437000
3000
pobunjeničke grupe u Nikaragvi, koje je stvorila CIA,
07:35
legally funded by the U.S. Congress,
151
440000
3000
legalno je finansirao američki Kongres,
07:38
illegally funded by the Reagan administration
152
443000
3000
ilegalno je finansirala Reganova uprava
07:41
via covert operation, for example, the Iran-Contra Affair.
153
446000
6000
tajnim operacijama, na primer, kroz aferu Iran-Kontra.
07:47
Then comes the late 1970s, early '80s,
154
452000
3000
Potom dolaze kasne sedamdesete i rane osamdesete,
07:50
and some groups successfully carry out
155
455000
3000
i neke grupe uspešno izvode
07:53
the privatization of terrorism.
156
458000
2000
privatizaciju terorizma.
07:55
So, they gain independence from the sponsor,
157
460000
3000
I tako, nisu više zavisni od svojih sponzora,
07:58
and start funding themselves.
158
463000
4000
i počinju sami da se finansiraju.
08:02
Now, again we see a mix of legal and illegal activities.
159
467000
5000
Tu se opet dešavaju i legalne i ilegalne aktivnosti.
08:07
So, Arafat used to get a percentage
160
472000
3000
Arafat je uzimao procenat
08:10
of the smuggling of hashish
161
475000
3000
od šverca hašiša
08:13
from Bekáa Valley, which is the valley between Lebanon and Syria.
162
478000
4000
iz doline Beka, koja se nalazi između Libana i Sirije.
08:17
And the IRA, which control the private transportation system
163
482000
4000
IRA je kontrolisala privatni sistem prevoza putnika
08:21
in Northern Ireland, did exactly the same thing.
164
486000
3000
u Severnoj Irskoj i postupala je na isti način.
08:24
So, every single time
165
489000
2000
Tako da je svaki put kada
08:26
that somebody got into a taxi in Belfast
166
491000
3000
bi neko seo u taksi u Belfastu
08:29
without knowing, actually,
167
494000
2000
zapravo finansirao IRA
08:31
was funding the IRA.
168
496000
3000
a da toga nije bio svestan.
08:34
But the great change came, of course,
169
499000
2000
Ali došlo je do velikih promena,
08:36
with globalization and deregulation.
170
501000
3000
sa nastupanjem globalizacije i deregulacije.
08:39
This is when arms organization were able to link up,
171
504000
3000
Tada su se militantne organizacije povezale,
08:42
also financially, with each other.
172
507000
2000
i finansijski.
08:44
But above all, they started to do
173
509000
2000
Ali, pre svega, započeli su
08:46
serious business with the world of crime.
174
511000
3000
ozbiljan biznis u svetu kriminala.
08:49
And together they money-laundered
175
514000
2000
I zajednički su prali novac
08:51
their dirty business through the same channel.
176
516000
4000
stečen prljavim poslovima kroz iste kanale.
08:55
This is when we see the birth of the transnational
177
520000
3000
Ovo je trenutak kada prisustvujemo rođenju transnacionalne
08:58
arms organization Al Qaeda.
178
523000
3000
militantne organizacije Al-Kaida.
09:01
This is an organization that can raise money across border.
179
526000
3000
To je organizacija koja može da prikuplja novac bez obzira na granice.
09:04
But also that is able to carry out attacks
180
529000
3000
A takođe je u stanju da izvede napade
09:07
in more than one country.
181
532000
3000
u više od jedne zemlje.
09:10
Now, deregulation also brought back
182
535000
3000
Dakle, deregulacija je takođe vratila u igru
09:13
rogue economics.
183
538000
2000
ekonomiju odmetništva.
09:15
So what is rogue economics?
184
540000
2000
Šta je ekonomija odmetništva?
09:17
Rogue economics is a force which is constantly
185
542000
2000
Ekonomija odmetništva je snaga koja neprestano
09:19
lurking in the background of history.
186
544000
4000
kroz istoriju vreba negde iz drugog plana.
09:23
It comes back at times of great transformation,
187
548000
3000
Vraća se u vremenima velikih promena,
09:26
globalization being one of those transformations.
188
551000
3000
a globalizacija jedna od tih promena.
09:29
It is at this times in which
189
554000
3000
U takvim vremenima
09:32
politics actually loses control of the economy,
190
557000
3000
politika nema kontrolu nad ekonomijom,
09:35
and the economy becomes a rogue force
191
560000
3000
i ekonomija postaje odmetnuta sila
09:38
working against us.
192
563000
2000
koja radi protivno našem interesu.
09:40
It has happened before in history.
193
565000
1000
Nešto slično se događalo i ranije.
09:41
It has happened with the fall of the Roman Empire.
194
566000
4000
Desilo se sa padom Rimskog carstva.
09:45
It has happened with Industrial Revolution.
195
570000
2000
Desilo se i sa nastupanjem industrijske revolucije.
09:47
And it actually happened again, with the fall of the Berlin wall.
196
572000
5000
I opet se ponovilo sa padom berlinskog zida.
09:52
Now, I calculated how big was this international
197
577000
5000
Izračunala sam koliko je veliki ovaj međunarodni
09:57
economic system composed by crime,
198
582000
2000
ekonomski sistem koji stvara kriminal,
09:59
terror, and illegal economy,
199
584000
3000
teror i ilegalna ekonomija,
10:02
before 9-11.
200
587000
2000
pre 11. septembra.
10:04
And it is a staggering 1.5 trillion dollars.
201
589000
5000
I došla do brojke od 1,5 biliona dolara.
10:09
It is trillions, it's not billions.
202
594000
2000
Radi se o bilionima ne milijardama (bilion je 1000 milijardi).
10:11
This is about twice the GDP of the United Kingdom,
203
596000
3000
To je otprilike dva puta više od bruto nacionalnog dohotka Velike Britanije,
10:14
soon will be more,
204
599000
2000
a uskoro će biti još i više
10:16
considering where this country is going.
205
601000
2000
s obzirom na stanje u ovoj zemlji.
10:18
(Laughter)
206
603000
3000
(smeh)
10:21
Now, until 9-11,
207
606000
2000
Sve do 11. septembra,
10:23
the bulk of all this money
208
608000
2000
najveći deo ovog novca
10:25
flew into the U.S. economy
209
610000
2000
ulivao se u američku ekonomiju
10:27
because the bulk of the money was denominated in U.S. dollars
210
612000
4000
jer je najveći deo novca bio denominacije u američkim dolarima
10:31
and the money laundering was taking place
211
616000
3000
i pranje novca se dešavalo
10:34
inside the United States.
212
619000
2000
unutar Sjedinjenih Država.
10:36
The entry point, of course, of most of this money
213
621000
3000
Mesto ulaska za najveću količinu ovog novca, naravno,
10:39
were the off-shore facilities.
214
624000
2000
bile su of-šor kompanije.
10:41
So, this was a vital injection of cash
215
626000
4000
Tako je to bila injekcija kapitala od vitalnog značaja
10:45
into the U.S. economy.
216
630000
3000
za američku ekonomiju.
10:48
Now, when I went to look at the figures of the U.S. money supply,
217
633000
5000
Kad sam pregledala brojke koje se odnose na ukupna novčana sredstva Sjedinjenih Država
10:53
the U.S. money supply is the amount
218
638000
2000
to je ukupna suma novca u
10:55
of dollars that the Federal Reserve
219
640000
3000
dolarima koju Savezne rezerve
10:58
prints every year
220
643000
2000
puštaju u opticaj svake godine
11:00
in order to satisfy
221
645000
2000
da bi zadovoljili
11:02
the increase in the demand for dollars,
222
647000
3000
povećanu potražnju za dolarima,
11:05
which, of course, reflects the growth
223
650000
2000
koja, naravno, odražava rast
11:07
of the economy.
224
652000
2000
ekonomije.
11:09
So, when I went to look at those figures, I noted that since the late 1960s
225
654000
4000
Kada sam pogledala te brojke, primetila sam da je od kasnih šezdesetih
11:13
a growing number of these dollars
226
658000
4000
sve veća količina tih dolara
11:17
was actually leaving the United States,
227
662000
2000
napuštala teritorije Sjedinjenih Država,
11:19
never to come back.
228
664000
3000
i nikada se nije vraćala.
11:22
These were money taken out
229
667000
2000
To je novac koji je iznet
11:24
in suitcases or in containers, in cash of course.
230
669000
4000
u koferima i kontejnerima, u gotovini, naravno.
11:28
These were money taken out by criminals and money launderers.
231
673000
3000
To je novac koji su iznosili kriminalci i perači novca.
11:31
These were money taken out to fund
232
676000
3000
To je novac koji je iznošen da bi finansirao
11:34
the growth of the terror,
233
679000
2000
porast terorizma,
11:36
illegal and criminal economy.
234
681000
4000
ilegalne i kriminalne ekonomije.
11:40
So, you see, what is the relationship?
235
685000
4000
Dakle, da li primećujete u kakvom su odnosu?
11:44
The United States actually is a country
236
689000
4000
Sjedinjene Države su zapravo država
11:48
that is the reserve currency of the world.
237
693000
4000
koja predstavlja svetske državne rezerve.
11:52
What does it mean? That means that
238
697000
2000
Šta to znači? To znači da
11:54
it has a privilege that other countries do not have.
239
699000
3000
one imaju privilegiju koju druge države nemaju.
11:57
It can borrow against the total amount of dollars
240
702000
4000
Količina novca koju mogu da pozajme računa se naspram ukupne količine dolara
12:01
in circulation in the world.
241
706000
2000
u opticaju u celom svetu.
12:03
This privilege is called seigniorage.
242
708000
3000
Ova se privilegija naziva monetarna zarada.
12:06
No other country can do that.
243
711000
3000
Nijedna druga država to ne može.
12:09
All the other countries, for example the United Kingdom,
244
714000
2000
Sve druge države, na primer, Velika Britanija,
12:11
can borrow only against the amount of money
245
716000
4000
mogu da pozajmljuju novac, samo spram iznosa
12:15
in circulation inside its own borders.
246
720000
4000
koji je u opticaju unutar njihovih granica.
12:19
So, here is the implication of the relationship
247
724000
2000
Ovde postoji implikacija da postoji odnos između
12:21
between the worlds of crime, terror, and illegal economy, and our economy.
248
726000
5000
sveta kriminala, terorizma, i ilegalne ekonomije i naše ekonomije.
12:26
The U.S. in the 1990s
249
731000
3000
Sjedinjene Države su devedesetih godina
12:29
was borrowing against the growth
250
734000
2000
pozajmljivale novac naspram rasta
12:31
of the terror, illegal and criminal economy.
251
736000
4000
terorizma, ilegalne i kriminalne ekonomije.
12:35
This is how close we are with this world.
252
740000
5000
Toliko je sve blisko povezano u svetu.
12:40
Now, this situation changed, of course, after 9-11,
253
745000
2000
Situacija se dakako promenila posle 11. septembra,
12:42
because George Bush launched the War on Terror.
254
747000
3000
jer je Džordž Buš objavio rat protiv terorizma.
12:45
Part of the War on Terror
255
750000
2000
Deo tog rata
12:47
was the introduction of the Patriot Act.
256
752000
3000
bilo je uvođenje niza zakona poznatih kao Patriotski akt.
12:50
Now, many of you know that the Patriot Act
257
755000
2000
Mnogi od vas znaju da je Patriotski akt
12:52
is a legislation that greatly reduces
258
757000
3000
set zakona kojim se u velikoj meri redukuje
12:55
the liberties of Americans in order to protect them
259
760000
3000
sloboda Amerikanaca da bi ih se zaštitilo
12:58
against terrorism.
260
763000
2000
od terorizma.
13:00
But there is a section of the Patriot Act
261
765000
2000
Ali u Patriotskom aktu postoji odeljak
13:02
which refers specifically to finance.
262
767000
2000
koji se naročito odnosi na finansije.
13:04
And it is, in fact, an anti-money-laundering legislation.
263
769000
4000
I zapravo i jeste zakonska regulativa protiv aktivnosti vezanih za pranje novca.
13:08
What the Patriot Act did was
264
773000
2000
Patriotski akt je omogućio
13:10
to prohibit U.S. bank,
265
775000
2000
da se američkim bankama
13:12
and U.S.-registered foreign banks
266
777000
2000
kao i stranim bankama registrovanim na teritoriji Sjedinjenih Država
13:14
from doing any businesses with off-shore facilities.
267
779000
4000
zabrani da posluju sa of-šor kompanijama.
13:18
It closed that door between the money laundering
268
783000
3000
Zatvorena su vrata između pranja novca
13:21
in dollars, and the U.S. economy.
269
786000
3000
u dolarima i američke ekonomije.
13:24
It also gave the U.S. monetary authorities
270
789000
5000
Takođe je američkim monetarnim vlastima data
13:29
the right to monitor any dollar transaction
271
794000
3000
mogućnost da prate sve transakcije u dolarima
13:32
taking place anywhere in the world.
272
797000
4000
koje se odvijaju bilo gde u svetu.
13:36
Now, you can imagine what was the reaction of the international
273
801000
2000
Možete zamisliti reakciju međunarodnog
13:38
finance and banking.
274
803000
2000
finansijskog i bankarskog tržišta.
13:40
All the bankers said to their clients,
275
805000
3000
Svi su bankari svojim klijentima savetovali
13:43
"Get out of the dollars and go and invest somewhere else."
276
808000
3000
"Oslobodite se dolara i idite da ulažete negde drugo."
13:46
Now, the Euro was a newly born currency
277
811000
3000
Euro je bila nova valuta
13:49
of great opportunity for business, and, of course, for investment.
278
814000
4000
koja je pružala izvanredne poslovne i, naravno, investicione, mogućnosti.
13:53
And this is what people did.
279
818000
2000
I to su ljudi uradili.
13:55
Nobody wants the U.S. monetary authority
280
820000
2000
Niko nije želeo da američke monetarne vlasti
13:57
to check their relationship,
281
822000
2000
proveravaju njihove odnose,
13:59
to monitor their relationship with their clientele.
282
824000
4000
da nadgledaju njihove odnose sa klijentelom.
14:03
The same thing happened, of course,
283
828000
2000
Ista se stvar ponovila, naravno,
14:05
in the world of crime and terror.
284
830000
4000
i u svetu kriminala i terorizma.
14:09
People simply moved their money-laundering activities
285
834000
5000
Jednostavno su svoje aktivnosti u vezi sa pranjem novca premestili
14:14
away from the United States
286
839000
3000
iz Sjedinjenih Država
14:17
into Europe.
287
842000
3000
u Evropu.
14:20
Why did this happen? This happened because
288
845000
2000
Zašto se ovo dogodilo? Dogodilo se, jer je
14:22
the Patriot Act was a unilateral legislation.
289
847000
3000
Patriotski akt bio unilateralni set zakona.
14:25
It was introduced only in the United States.
290
850000
2000
Uveden je samo u Sjedinjenim Državama.
14:27
And it was introduced only for the U.S. dollars.
291
852000
3000
I primenjivao se samo na američke dolare.
14:30
In Europe, a similar legislation
292
855000
2000
U Evropi, neki takav set zakona
14:32
was not introduced.
293
857000
2000
nikada nije uveden.
14:34
So, within six months
294
859000
2000
Tako je u roku od šest meseci
14:36
Europe became the epicenter
295
861000
2000

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Loretta Napoleoni - MacroeconomistShe made her name following the dollars in terrorist networks, but now Loretta Napoleoni is on the trail of something far more sinister -- the gray zone where crime and unregulated credit meet.
Why you should listen
Once it was easy to know where our money was going. Now we live under a system Loretta Napoleoni has dubbed "rogue economics," where the blurry histories of the products we consume and the cash we invest make us complicit in financing barely legal credit schemes -- and even crime, if it's the slavery producing the beans for our lattes or the guts of our mobile phones.
The reach of the newly global market, as Napoleoni argues in her new book, Rogue Economics: Capitalism's New Reality, connects us all to the dark side, regardless of our intentions to be responsible -- and, she says, our deep connection to fishy credit and unregulated finance has laid the groundwork for the current economic crisis. Her previous book, Terror Incorporated, dives into the true economic impact of terrorism.
