Yes, he is speaking the truth. The real reason we went into the Middle East was because it was a bankers' war. They wanted to establish a Central Bank in the ME because those countries didn't have one.

The problem arose when the ME didn't want a Central Bank because they had their own banking system with tons of oil money to keep them solvent and happy. The globalist bankers wanted to take that oil money with a Central Bank, which would have eventually sent the ME to the poor house the way it did to the U.S. with loans and high interest payments.
