** [[youtube:JuoQZkBFj9A|Part 1]]: 10-minute documentary on Zelikow, featuring author [[Webster Tarpley]], professor Graeme MacQueen (religious studies, McMaster University, ret.), Ken Jenkins (filmmaker), and Peter Dale Scott, author.
 
** [[youtube:4XQWBQKsqBU|Part 2]]: "Zelikow's Parallel Universe": "[Zelikow] responds to a couple of uncensored questions August 9, 2007 at Chautauqua Institution. Question 1 comes from [[Paul Zarembka]], editor of The Hidden History of 9-11-2001. Professor Zarembka, State University of New York at Buffalo (Economics Dept), asks Zelikow why he failed to investigate reports of several of the so-called hijackers alive and protesting their non-involvement. Then yor yevrah of snowshoefilms asks Zelikow about [[WTC7|Building 7]]. Zelikow says he doesn't accept the hypothesis that any buildings were brought down by controlled demolition." Zelikow's [[rhetorical deception]] techniques here are well worth studying.
 
** [[youtube:h41CqSM6OV0|Part 3]]: "Carving Up Iraq (While Not Being Seen as a Carver)": more of Zelikow at Chautauqua. "Philip Zelikow was Condoleezza Rice's choice to write the draconian 2002 National Security Strategy which launched the 'war on terror,' calling for preemptive strikes, with nukes if necessary, on stateless 'terrorists.' In this clip of an August 9, 2007 radio interview conducted at Chautauqua Institution, Zelikow explains how the US should not be SEEN to be carving up Iraq, that potentially rich prize for the taking after most of the people have been subdued or exterminated. Zelikow himself, of course, is one of the butcher knife wielders, the carvers of Iraq. He's in on the action at all phases. Asked to comment on the partitioning of Iraq, Zelikow dips into his Machiavellian bag of tricks, coming up with dissimulation: appear disinterested, above it all. In contrast to directly carving up Iraq, Zelikow counsels opportunism: adapt to whatever circumstances arise, from 'happy times, partition, or worse.'"
