:19:00
.. that this is indeed an excellent scheme.
:19:04
A genuine opportunity.
:19:10
An opportunity,...
:19:12
.. particularly if you happen
to be a corrupt investor...
:19:20
A corrupt investor
with nothing but self-interest at heart.
:19:29
Now it is my utter conviction that
this scheme never should have had...
:19:33
.. or should ever have
any chance of success.
:19:36
It is a fraud, an infamous fraud at that.
:19:39
Our involvement would be a political fraud
of the worst possible kind!
:19:47
This...
:19:49
.. great nation...
:19:51
.. has long been
a great commercial power.
:19:54
Now it seems there exists
a growing compulsion to use that power...
:19:59
.. merely to beget more power,...
:20:01
.. money merely to beget more money,...
:20:05
.. irrespective of the true cost
to the nation's soul.
:20:09
And it is this sickness,...
:20:11
.. a kind of moral blindness,
commerce without conscience,...
:20:15
.. which threatens to strike
at the very soul of this nation!
:20:19
The only remedy that I can see
is to strike back and to strike now!
:20:23
Hear, hear!
:20:25
Hear, hear!
:20:30
Order!
:20:32
- Bravo!
- As we stand...
:20:34
As we stand at the end of
this most eventful century,...
:20:40
.. it seems that we do, after all,
have a genuine opportunity.
:20:45
One honest chance...
:20:47
.. to shed our...
:20:50
.. sometimes imperfect past.
:20:52
To start again,...
:20:55
.. to step unshackled...
:20:57
.. into the next century...
:20:59
.. and to look our future...
