mission plans continuing to make the scientific leaps it justifies the coast guard says could serve as mankind's gateway to the galaxy against. the u.s. it gives up the push for mid term elections so much more concerned about corporate backing of candidates and question what it means for democracy opinion poll suggests the vote could grow up with their own problems democrats joined to congress. russia and norway are set to debate that up to the role as their foreign ministers are meeting also also complete problems for each region russia is serving up rome would also take on more inventions. in the fight for women's rights in afghanistan how the traditional system in spain but i'm going to society isn't making life easier for the wives you need to treat women are often forced to put up with abuse a little hope of help go. with midterm elections in the u.s.

about to begin on t. sits down with a full time presidential candidate who doesn't belong to any of the two parties were in congress made it talks about the real powers that govern the america and ways to achieve real change that's next here nazi. elections are usually an exciting time for the american people however with the two party system dominating the political establishment here in washington some ask whether there are higher powers that stake and how much influence they wield over the city now someone is no stranger to this topic is ralph nader he was a presidential hopeful under the independent and green party ticket he sits down now with r.t. mr nader thank you so much for joining us now my first question to you is about u.s. foreign policy under both political parties i wonder if there are differences between

how they look at the start treaty for example or the iraq and afghanistan wars or policies towards iran are there really differences between these two parties when it comes to u.s. foreign policy less and less on the start treaty that there are some republicans that are against it republicans for and mostly all the democrats are for it says a little difference there but on iraq on afghanistan on israel palestine. on the. sofa given the power of the us government to go anywhere in the world and chase anybody down any country regardless of national sovereignty is the similarity between obama and bush have started a political analysts when bush launched the wars he. was not able to legitimize them. obama by extending. the war in afghanistan

and expanding drones going into pakistan going into somalia into yemen it's a no go after anybody that he and the executive branch think are a threat. he has legitimized what bush has put forward in the illegitimate way that. election cycle politicians tend to bicker over who should be elected for president or who should be elected for congress but do their policies really differ how much dominance does the two party system have over the establishment here in washington and how the country is being run well there is a permanent corporate government in washington for president eisenhower in his farewell address in one nine hundred sixty one pointed out the much quoted passage of the unwarranted influence saw earn saw by the military industrial complex of course now it's much much worse and they have cowed a lot of the media i mean look how the media went along with the falsified drumbeat

an invasion of iraq in two thousand and three i mean it was disgraceful so the two parties are where the game is really being played they are the tributes you know they're the voice they're the sheen there is the they they they sign on the dotted line it's the military industrial complex it's largely dissin say sure both defense industry machine that never says enough is enough in terms of nuclear subs and drones and fighter bombers and armored vehicles it's out of control eisenhower warned us about it we didn't heed his warning he knew what he's talking about he was a five star general is there a fabricated perception when it comes to the tea party's influence is there much reality behind this perception that socialism is dominating the country well it's a corporate propaganda the tea party is very viewpoints one viewpoint but there is a they do share one thing they're angry about what's going on in the country and

they're being channeled toward washington without being in effect in foreign paper it's wall street over washington wall street is taking control of washington isn't a massive multi-trillion dollar bail bailout of these wall street crooks by your tax dollars sufficient evidence so i think the big. a state that democrats and liberals are making is they're not talking to the tea partiers that they're backing off and and adjusting and censoring themselves and inflating the power of the tea partiers and so is the media i mean there are only three four hundred thousand people who call themselves tea party used who spent more than twenty hours in the last six months under initiatives and going to rallies and so forth but you have glenn beck you have fox network you have even the washington post in a new york times pushing pushing and so exaggerates them and that intimidates the democrats to be less progressive and less liberal and so who has the momentum in

politics you simply ask one question who's on the on fence even who's on the defensive once the democrats turn became on the defensive they're falling backward and they're not going to recover the dangers of corporate capitalism is something that you've been following all your life i wonder about the corporate influence in this election cycle and in washington in general are the corporations creating movements like the tea party to maintain their control or their interests yeah that's their popular front so to speak just like the communist party has its popular front the corporations knowing they can't be out front because people don't like a lot of these big corporations they ripped off by the banks the credit card companies the insurance companies they have the camouflage and accounting flies yes they give the tea parties certain deceptive information and focus on certain

politicians and therefore they continue their work there well behind the scenes i mean we have corporate socialism in this country where profits are kept and losses are socialized on the back of the taxpayer there is a single department agency in the u.s. government. who's outside influence over one place not corporate. they control from their outside and putting their executives and i government positions funding members of congress with their cash thirty five thousand full time lobbyists in washington they are the government and theater advisor put it very well many many years ago he said the corporations are the government i wonder what role does third party candidates have an election cycles and influence of the politics in this country when you have this two party system that has been in place for so long yeah i mean it's a two party dictatorship and they control the state laws of ballot access so they obstruct small parties and independent candidates requiring them to spend inordinate amounts of time and resist litigation is frivolous to get under the

ballot there's no country no western world that have struck some voters and candidates from exercising their democratic rights in most countries in western europe you have multi-party systems if the green party gets over five percent and germany as over five percent of the parliament here a party and get forty nine percent the opponent can get fifty one percent the party gets forty nine percent is nothing so there's no proportional representation that with the electoral college nonsense feeds a two party dictatorship and so the role of third parties to break open that two party dictatorship where is the party that pushes for a living wage so they can support their family because the democrats republicans they're not really pushing for that the democrats have a better rhetoric but barack obama promised a nine dollars fifty cent's federal minimum wage in the campaign in two thousand and eight he's never talked about a sense it's now seven dollars and twenty five cents wal-mart wages one third of

the workers in this country make low wal-mart type wages is not a major area for a third party so people have got to stop voting for the least worse between the democrats republican and say they're going to vote for what they believe and they're going to vote for their conscience they're going to vote for the best. interests the american people if it's a third fourth party so be it you mentioned you sent a letter to a number of different corporate executives saying they should have a taxpayer preseason day for all the money they stole from the american taxpayers can you elaborate on that a little bit well i mean the political parties are servicing the top one percent which has of wealthy people which has equivalent wealth of the bottom ninety five percent of the american people and that is a inequality that radiates all the way down to white to poor die more injured more ripped off more the middle class is being pushed down toward the poor wealth inequality is not just a bunch of people at the top who have all

a lot of the goal it radiates inequality and harm and devastation all the way down the income scale and the republican democrat party have presided over at this tax system that perpetuates it what role does the mainstream media have in pandering to corporate interests well the media puts out some very good reports once in a while sixty minutes and so forth but by and large they represent the investments of their shareholders and that means advertising revenue so they're not going to really go against many of their advertisers with a few luminous exceptions from time to time that's the mass media there's independent media that seems to be growing modestly i listen regularly to democracy now and amy goodman for example at pacifica radio needs to be expanded because these these media don't represent advertises they represent news and that's why when you turn on them you say gee why haven't i heard that on n.b.c. or c.b.s.

why in this little station it's because they're not representing their advertisers they're representing news and i think that that's the that's the essential difference on a media from what you're saying it seems like a bit of a hopeless situation here in the united states. it's is there any possibility of a revolution here in this country where the people actually were votes against these against us corporate domination well inevitably cycle turns in american history and people say enough is enough i thought the bailout of the crooks in wall street would fulfill that enough is enough but i've seen people who are more demoralized and less able to organize but one of these days will be a few billionaires who put a lot of money into thousands of community organizers network throughout the country focusing on congress to move this country forward and put the people back into the sovereignty arena the constitution starts with the people not we the

to settle for a point and coming from a goal down to do it thanks to an eighty seven strike equaliser from liking it to. under the other and say that i am far remain stuck in the relegation zone after one defeat of tom hicks and the photon off with the army go after fifty three minutes the still time for on-call though is there any two points from safety. but all those years of context is the league table with five weeks of the season remaining in it to prove it and taste scholar in the champions league spots. and a lot more t.v. are in the europa league places those spots are now chick and then i must close on the heels while at the bottom there's a real scrap for survival with two sides getting down to serious hopes of avoiding the drop of a fading fast but theoretically any slice of eights place downwards in danger of education. over in england there were some better news political you moved out of the bottom three following a one zero win at bolton maxi rodriguez five hundred eighty six minutes catapulted

do to win by them you know caroline is a very talented player and still very young so i'm going to she's got a great future ahead of her and in the meantime can cause an upset at the same pages by beating russian former champion mccall youzhny to lift the trophy after a six three seven six win because skin is only the second player from kazakhstan to win an eighteenth the title for the best success in hamburg at it this year. basketball match and following their defeat in the you rarely has bounced back with a comprehensive win in russia's domestic d.t. being its russian ukraine side today pressed by forty points watching them fly in the fact that different competition but still test done a bit to beat bad boy you're late start behind them jim on board and joined the army man before the start of the season was one of the few shining lights in that team in the beginning to compete and he was influential for the inside and for some of their clash with ukraine. the americans would eventually premier's big game was

quarterback brett farve started against new england despite fracturing his foot the previous week yet his impressive streak of two hundred and twenty nine consecutive starts might be over mid-way through the fourth quarter with forty one year old went off after taking the comics of how much hit from i don't cry out but back out to virus jackson completed the fate of the touchdown. and then two point conversion to get the fight seems to me things i feel god. that's the patriots that marched eighty hours a day to see what contest. while another game kansas city needed overtime to beat buffalo are also wins this and this green bay to jacksonville and miami and elsewhere oakland thrash seattle thirty three straight detroit san diego in tampa bay also pledged to victories. moving on to golf and lee westwood says he's not writing off tiger woods after the englishman replaced the longstanding leader to go top. well the world rankings that's what ended the about two hundred eighty one
