Negotiations.
Translation of taped conversation that took place in
<DELETED> on <DELETED>. While the transcript has been
altered to remove incriminating names, we believe the

after his negotiations in <DELETED>.
<SUBJECT23>: In what way? I wrote it myself.
<SUBJECT 95>: He's taken an agreement designed to help us

<SUBJECT 23>: None of them check the "facts"

we tell them will BE the "facts".
<SUBJECT 95>: But he's just sabotaged the agreement he just

negotiated co-operation with, he's probably doomed the agreement
to failure!
<SUBJECT 23>: That's also part of the plan.
<SUBJECT 95>: In what way?
<SUBJECT 23>: When the agreement fails, we will, naturally,
blame THEM! We can't lose!
<SUBJECT 95>: I see what you mean...
