roger you're going to come up against difficult decisions that you have to make nature you know and i and when you do. it's. maybe your turn to party that has decisions that's been made and then you have to do research you have to look at these questions from every pippen and that's you won't commands . and then you will go down that they would have done but there were it's one. of to adopt one hunts next week. you simply do the blanks thing. as. she's been there through that so. that's and that's and. if you senator. imagine if every prayer in the world with satan was in the sails of the child my mom and since then you have to educate yourself nuff

of the wealthy and the author they couldn't give anybody in substance this is quite clear they paid lip service to because it's police that pete convenient. the missing don't trump my pencil mark. on the pretty neat in human skull said not interested in the nuts there are citizens they couldn't think couldn't came to peace with the searches of the united states. never mind citizens of any other than i you've been quite vocal about your opinion about donald trump you among other things you called him a mask this troyer of everything that any of us might love what do you mean well don't track pets no interests for instance and nobody he has never interested in. he has no interest in compassion he has no interest in me and. he has

no interest in the show he has no interest in the post you have special interest in geography of interest in a cup of tea he has no interest in where he has no interest in these things or he has an interest in his needs in several and he's. and isn't tani can stand for his life to be one big reality t.v. show where he said in the appearance of good about himself he is a very very small mean spirited it never paid of them out on their well that i would like to envisage off to be 19 is when we. grew very rare. axioms know and wisdom is joe is joe biden the better choice joe biden is no different joe that's

a puppet he's just he's he's the other glove puppet you know that both both culprits the monster that lives between the suckers which he hates well i've been trying to describe which is which has created the monster that it's the united states of america and you know the seats that come from for 3 or 400 years got it all comes from european colonialism the british empire was a disgusting monstrosity we were pouring we could we didn't exactly what the americans are doing now and we did it for several 100 years along with the approach he was in the spanish and the germans and the dutch and the better chance than we and we we went around the planet stealing rape and destroying. everything just so that we or few of us could be a stream even of the constitution in the united states was very carefully written

by the founding fathers to make absolutely certain that power would never orleans people bundestag and certainly it's not going to do with the current system he had used to. jump and. sniping at each other it's called the outputs and when it's where you keep the conversation so tightly focused on in this case there is action but it's completely elections rather than the picture around it it's the going to make sure that they don't let the people look at that picture. because it because if they did start looking acid they would stop undermining the power base and they would start removing. from the very very wealthy and you don't you don't have to be able to do simple arithmetic see fit once what i say is. look at not a shoot at you seem quite involved in the palestinian one you have been very

vocal against israel's occupation policy and that backfired people like is being anti semitic and it was specially because you showed support for the boycott this invest in sanction movement the b.d.s. move it but why did you get involved because the palestinian people lost. back in 2006 in 2000 fine. it's palestinian civil society starts to p.t.s. and they asked people who were not a student and they asked anybody in the rest of the. to join. in a fight. see see if brain. fade said human rights for them sounds quite clearly i'm not and it's not safe never. never

spoken a single absence and it's a word or it's in mind forgotten once it's meant to be so what's in my head and in . the prop and count the machine it is rate is run is huge and it's spent millions and millions and millions of dollars simply trying to spread its mind that anybody can speaks against israeli government forms it is nonsense and some have criticised you saying that sometimes you have conflicting positions. like on one side you are defending the rights of the palestinians and then on the other had it seems that you supported the russia russia's move in crimea and many a crane is would tell you well that's an occupied land as well at the moment so how can you explain that. and explain it simply that the narrative

accepted in the west about the russians and the station in crimea is complete. as you only have to of what actually happened in primary and where crime and came from crimea which creates you don't to the say. so what's been a deeply divided country with this silence and being predominant played. by russian speaking. people who adhere to little or kinds of russian traditions and the most. so when the mist is equal could. but the whole question made protests and what happened is open to interpretation and i'm sure there will be many history is written up anyway but we know that the victorian unions and the cia were complicit in setting up this western. aid or.

cia and united states government opus rapes occur against the jews you know that gave president government of the crane back in the day or he is and the imposition of this new government so the country became entirely fractured that. there are them our staffs other than the excepted western narrative which was overlooked with screening the people of ukraine from the russian young comply however the russian government was put in a very difficult situation because suddenly now there was a government in kiev that was extremely right wing controlled entirely by the americans and they were concerned about civil the poem about their own supply of oil on the. cusp. of the city's cocoa. so i'm not so that there was

a population in something that was still cool the crimea because people remember the borders reviewers who did not want this new government to the most of these not the friends of the people of the current man. and so actually the people of the crime man well co-author 98 percent of them said we don't want to be any off of this new elite the government of the great we wish to join. the russian federation we want to be russia please 98 percent not excuse me not because it was kwame's will be an exception in the crimea and such since it's cool that school be an exception but russia now the legal niceties so what were the . contracts between khrushchev the ukraine back in the years when problem. and that's constitutional or something but i do know. the people who live there say

no we want nothing to do with the snow says illinois the people in the eastern ocean it wasn't quite so easy for them i'm not sure why this is no where but when i'm telling you these you cannot you cannot talk about a 70 year old. israeli occupation of palestine and the relatively recent annexation or change of power in crimea in the same breath they are entirely different things one is that there are it's not as if the palestinians in 1048 suddenly said could you send a load to jewish people from from north eastern europe please. throw us out of our homes and 700000 of us and sent us that we have to get off the land because they are going to make

a jewish state and they don't want those that didn't happen there was no home with 98 percent pumice didn't suddenly say oh you know come on come in terms for us from the russians are throwing out the people who live in the ground near there supporting i'm sorry to interrupt because i just want to ask you about a few other issues and we're going to run out of time so i want to go back to do you k. a bit you know the labor party is under accusations of being added to semantic allegation that jeremy corbyn is the man who took the labor party in that direction do you think that these are fairly gays and is there a labor party anti semite the conspiracy or. the plan. to spread free and submitted. i mean story about people like me. and the ad about the labor party in england. brought it

probably censored and came out of the ministry of. intel a very this was completely respected and very well. and succeeded totally in destroying jeremy cole clinton's chances of becoming the next prime minister of the u.k. chances that were very good seemingly a year before 2 years before that they absolutely used the anti semitic smear. campaign to destroy jeremy coatings chances of winning the election and they did it very very successfully and i succeeded in destroying jeremy call women in my view made terrible mistakes along the way the biggest mistake that he and the labor party made was that the labor party conference in 2090 where they fail to totally dismiss they

knew i h r a an international public roles remember alliance definition of bentley summonses of the rewriting. and cio that nobody even heard of and that is completely irrelevant in sense of history of politics sort of. definition offensive semitism so includes any criticism of the congress it is the government of the state of israel. and the labor poets he did knock. say rubbish throw out the bill dosed it and jeremy colvin did not resign and should have done he's should he should on those grounds of resign as leader of the huntsman anybody with a hawk also should have resigned at that point because it is such

a huge and numbs how come how come criticizing israeli israeli policy of occupation and satans which is what they're operating how come and he said mincing. that would be like calling criticism of the south african adminstration before the end of the post say stuff africa and christian all and christian yeah we could like courting anti christian oh you know you just hate white people don't i hate the system that europe waves in. against the cover of us getting on your religion just as i have nothing against jewish people. you know i'm an atheist so other concepts cripes who in the mist you know the mystification if you want to call it would probably. to any of the after how many religions or any religion and it just doesn't make any sense to

me but i wouldn't dream of sending people that they call believe whatever they want to believe in the meat well it's plot a look people do in texas by the way so so the labor labor pool and also the labor party under the new leadership of dawn backed down from disparate ticky miss. case in the high court just a few weeks ago. and the documentary that john well made about it a year earlier and just where it is now saying he may he may sue jeremy cool and. these are rabid zionists and their are involved in a smokescreen a human being to cover up their violent more crimes that have been perpetrate seats every single day against the people of palestine by

. their. ministration initiative in the state of israel has been going on for 7 millions since none since or since and it's not simple here it's machine so anybody of good conscience and good heart houses continue in the line and do you think labor can recover from this if labor get its labor yes maybe it you know actually this fight she's taking place it's really a fight between. can the truth is i know it's not just rhythm but the meat you are generally control now by very very very rich very very powerful people and it's no coincidence that jeff bezos we've just made hundreds 160 $1000000000.00 now odom's the washington post on his young one man and

influential printing all the papers are by. the times of london it's a. huge school forums probably hermione's the times and they all come from a member anymore you know but civic this is a fight between. it's it's well it's your lunch in 94 it's a fight between we the people all the winston smith sound. and the ministry of truth who are telling you mine's 24 ounce of 37 they simply and who are pulling the wool over all of the others but with the people who continue to do so until we stand up and say we need education and we need this system and we need because we are so we can buy you. turn your neo liberal economic policies that it's hard to see them through. which is why the lot layered.

nazis. actually into the streets of american citizens is something to assume someone planked them from the you know strong we're going to have to wrap up very soon bafta questions to ask you and which changing gears here somehow back in 97 did not and you wrote mother and you osted that song mother should i trust the government have you found the answer to that. yes of course not unless of course i'm a wager no you know or danish or somewhere when there is a government is trying is subscribes to some of the same beliefs and beliefs that the government. of any of any country of any group or of any nation of any ship that serves the needs of the people all the people not just

a wealthy people but all of and if you were to write a song about the current state of the world what would you like it to say. man or a writes about ace. to strangers policy industry by chance to pursing drone strikes me and i am you one well i see it's me they were all human beings we're all the brothers and sisters of all at least distant cousins we're all african we all of a nation. we all have to stand united and refuse to be slaves to the few very rich who control the knife's and who are destroying the planet and i'm writing about is always on and so what title would you give us all bad hurriedly right now if you had to do it about today.

2000 mile trip across europe seems impossible. as the boat comes root begins to close for refugees it has become

a race against time for one syrian family. except perilous journey from greece to germany but there's no turning back to the ravages of war left at home. sky and ground a witness documentary on al-jazeera. an image can change the way we see the world if we had not seen that we would be talking about it it can spark mass action or serve the interests of the powerful he created this moment for a follow opportunity it can obscure the truth this is a legitimate news story but this clips and the talking points look pretty identical it can forge narratives or rewrite them the listening post gives you the full picture on a jesse. we know what's happening in our region we know how to get laid at others and i was just thrown. to put. the fires there still more normative you.
