twenty years ago are just countries it's just sometimes it's. one hundred trying. to teach began the journey. where did it take to. seven thirty pm in moscow here's a look back at the week's headlines here on our t.v. russia blocks u.n. measures against the syrian government saying for intervention will only spark more civil war in the region now there is speculation about who could be next to sink into violence engulfing the arab world. nato forces once again bombed colonel gadhafi as compound in the libyan capital reportedly killing his son and three grandsons critics say it seriously undermines the alliances and systems that it's protecting civilians and not targeting khadafi. russia's police strike at
11:31 am
a group of terror targets in the south of the country among those killed two high ranking military warlords with links to all tied up. next we continue an investigation into whether some grassroots groups in the u.s. are really representing the voice of the people as a whole part two of our documentary the billionaires tea party coming up. i want to talk about cap and trade or as i call it government x. and i think probably most of you do as well. but first i want to talk about global warming for a minute here's the last thirty years you'll see for the last ten years we haven't had any warming i think that shows that the models are phony by portray global warming as just another excuse for big government intervention by leftists ideologue's it's just another way of government controlling our lives and you know i'm dead set against that and certainly. human beings are not that planet all that
11:32 am
would be great if it was true unfortunately the scientific community doesn't agree as i found out when i spoke to print a equitable of the union of concerned scientists overwhelming vast majority absolutely it most of the scientific societies around the world national academies of sciences the intergovernmental panel on climate change all the leading experts of the world they get together and make scientific statements about climate change they all agree that climate change is real it's unequivocal and they're very worried about the lack of action on the parts of weaning ourselves off of fossil fuel these guys have been able to delay action on climate change for two decades all along making billions and billions of dollars in dirty energy according to pay our man and author jim hogan the success of these eco chime has nothing to do with
11:33 am
science and everything to do with spin it was a media campaign they wanted to create doubt in the minds of journalists they wanted to create doubt in the minds of the public and your average person will never know they just see some articulate guy and even be a scientist basically being shills for industry people like fred singer he was a guy who worked for tobacco now works on climate change but because they're wearing a lab coat and they have a ph d. people believed them. i tracked down seeing in washington where he was briefing senate stoppard's on the scientific reasons why they shouldn't support the cap and trade bill suggests that it was frugal mommie that's not correct that's been cooling since not everyone in the function of this. is today disseminate the quasi science of people like pissing up. the science is not finished the debate is not over as the left who support this legislation would tell
11:34 am
you i think global warming is a complete hoax we got to go in cooler for the past ten years some suggest that the research has been manipulated and those questioning the effects of climate change have been silenced myron ebell is director of energy and global warming policy for the competitive enterprise institute then there's the role of the conservative media establishment epitomized by the nation's most watched news network folks news twenty four hours a day by pump out pro-business pro-republican talking points take place two emails sent to fox stuff you like two thousand and nine the first directed all reporters to site global warming theory face the planet die out of it critics have called into question while another instructor echoed the insurance industry language by using the words government run health insurance to describe the proposed health care reform government run health care may include some rationing
11:35 am
a government health care takeover could drastically change the way you and your family were seen health care but the party also was a lot of folks who urged its legion of loyal fans to get involved it's a movement that is sweeping the nation all across the country hundreds of these protests across the country may involve millions of people bam fox news is out the front of this we can join the tea party action from your home if you go to the fox nation dot com the tea party revolution is probably one right by you. we have a map to show you just how widespread these are these are people who demand to be heard and so their voices heard as the fight for their. lives with the box a new day one party. for commuters. thinking about it by their own manufactured i can point to every one of his organizations and give you specific examples would be the liar that you were disingenuous or
11:36 am
called you names right ok they don't tell the whole story they told one side story and we see that now we're speaking out but if there's one person at fox who's become the darling if it's a party movement it's going back watching picks paranoid populism and rice biting goes a long way to explaining some of the more extreme views in the tea party movement the media either can't see it or they're complicit or just wildly out of touch i don't know which it is but let me show you the big picture of what's happening here the roots of the tree of radicalism and revolution. this president i think has exposed himself as a guy over and over and over again who has a deep seated hatred for white people or the white culture i don't know what it is this guy is i believe a racist. with
11:37 am
nine million people tuning into his t.v. and radio shows each that he makes obsession with communism also makes him a powerful ally to oppose things like the cap and trade bill. let's bring in phil kerpen he is the director for policy for americans for prosperity you like watermelon i think this is a watermelon bill and i think you're exactly right this bill is green on the outside fifteen yest green on the outside and inside it's deep communist red this was especially evident when i have pasted to fit a story that was green jobs advisor was a commie this is the beginning this is the portal into all of this this is the
11:38 am
biggest story in history self avowed communist activities there are communist marxist revolutionaries around this president and these guys are marxists in the white house i have. a. voice from the past use for it coke. millionaire member of the radical anti communist john birch society and. saga of charles and by all the threat of communism has long since casa it's striking how effective it still remains to instantly demonize opponents as evidenced in the descriptions of the climate and healthcare policies and right through out the tea parties why has the a.n.c. up on the spin doctor has resorted to the language of the cold war propaganda diets
11:39 am
and why has it been so effective in causing the styria among tea party go was. curious i went to see mark crispin miller n.y.u. professor and corporate propaganda expert there are certain techniques that that propagandists really need to you is and they're so basic that you know they will leave the scene in arguable to us or we never even know what is book but one thing that one must kill of course is cloak on this message and a kind of moral righteousness you know we really believe in liberty we believe and create enterprise we hear that all the time but i pay simply means crony capitalism but it implies something that most americans will you know feel a surge of positive emotion about right now there is a tacit opposition there between free enterprise and communism and that's the other
11:40 am
technique that has to be you know still you've also got to have enemies game and was it service scapegoats and against which you will hand and all of the angry feelings that the propaganda will also inside. for them the socialism conjures up a sort of weird money a long list of all the bogeyman obama's associated with battles by go right wing for example he's also associated with muslims you know this if he's a muslim and so on sells a black so all these things serve for a highly volatile and irrational minority of the american population. anyway that's just kind of classic propaganda and it's no accident that this serves the interest of the health insurance companies the big pharmaceutical cartel you know the petro chemical interests i mean we could go on or not it suits them fine
11:41 am
this is why they've basically encouraged us and this is why they like people like glenn beck and rush limbaugh who are the tribune in this moment. understanding a bit more about how propaganda works i went to examine its use as freedom works close to the first ever national tea party in washington d.c. we just leave the big government takeover of all the business we care the government takeover of our liberty with doc we're losing the constitution and. we have sat at home and not said anything but not delayed and most going on and finally we have done that the challenge and come to do something and we're not going to stop. the working to. the to the to.
11:42 am
the restraint up the founder of. the of. the of. the of socialism has taken over it's got a script on it you know always leaks coming is a cool thing you're saying that we're going to sell solicit. the risk the constitution the bill of rights you must bring. yeah we came out here today for freedom and i think that right this first day he thought you. know how you got out not going to try to place those funds and then you. can take our freedom we're giving. me my freedom. now this
11:43 am
time last hammering and now not. god. the things here you eat the way the way the way the way the with how the right thing the you do not move didn't move. the the the mood was moved from the mud out of the lights the the
11:44 am
lineup of passionate tape party organizers get the hundred thousand patriots going eventually the sponsors from libertarian carves take to star age to preach the gospel of free markets let me hear it. was not sound this hell hath no fury like a tax payer you know what. i'm doing fine seriously it's going to organization that believes a lower taxes less government more freedom you can't be freedom if you're not going to govern. your easy didn't you freedom. is a good. move. these teens minds it's nothing was. on the heart and so i never thought. it was just like those old campaigns against the back or regulation the groups weren't selling free
11:45 am
markets they were selling freedom itself and the tea party americans were buying it we came out here today for freedom. we go out and get americans from all walks of life involved in their economic freedom more importantly them because. our freedoms having successfully steered protesters to revolt against the bomber agenda in the name of freedom faced who was to succeed with the cloaks of filed on tonight's he to build a free market movement capable of staging a revolution at the ballot box to find out more i went on to cover as a budding fiscal conservative. my first stop was the training session for tea partiers held by the competitive price institute. what is the theme to the tea party what is the tea party about is it about just opposing this opposing that opposing this or is there if agree to be and that idea i submit to the idea i want
11:46 am
to show you one today is the idea of the rights of man the basic issue at stake is the destruction of the rights of those who produce in the united states and the tea parties of course are the battleground. we are today as an army we are the thin line between freedom and the status of popeil they want to create freedom is a wonderful thing to fight for it's time for us to join the army and that's something we all look at it. in nashville i met up with a collection of libertarian groups crossing the country pitching guerilla tactics for free market ideals over two hundred years ago guys a group of people just like you did something extraordinary ordinary people doing extraordinary things they were activists just like you i truly believe that they were activists then we are activists now make no distinction about it so what we do
11:47 am
we become digital activists we had it by the media we learned the media we manipulate the media it was printing presses then it's the internet now that's where we influence the hearts and minds of our fellow citizens the tea party's got us running up hills american authorities trying to give you the tools the muskets right so. here's what i do i get on amazon i type in liberal books i go through and i say one star one star one star the flipside is you go to a conservative libertarian whatever go to their products and give them five stars ok so literally it is in the books i. put a star on i don't read so that's how it works ok there's places others where you kids i promise you this where your kids are going information rotten tomatoes flixster was a place where you can rate movies ok so when you type in movies on healthcare or documented on health care i don't want to go to come up i don't want michael moore's to come out so i was given bad ratings i spend about thirty minutes
11:48 am
a day just so that's a real tact is that there's a place to comment a place to rate right a place to share information you have to do it that's how you control the online dialogue give our ideals a fighting chance the principles that i believe strongly in that the founders believe strongly in with the idea of individual liberty rule of law limits of government's free market system their correlations free market religious and personal freedom we lose the free market we will lose personal religious freedom while we fight for. it to be end of the session and suddenly introduce ourselves to. rest my camera for today the lady sitting next to me and i'm just praying i don't blow my cover. i think it's a toss up and i'm twelve going to louisville i'm a party express. i'm going to lots of different crossroads movements and events and
11:49 am
it's just to say you guys are amazing and bring on the second revolution. i think enjoying the second american revolution. hundred. regret a cool capitalist revolution was under why the tea party establishment officially a doctor a mantra for the markets it was a stunning comeback for an ideology that seemingly lie in ruins after the mortgage crisis barely one year earlier the symbol of which was fatal reserve chairman and champion of free markets alan greenspan missing the regulation doesn't work you will have an ideology the free competitive markets are by far the on rival way to organize economies but if you found
11:50 am
a flaw in the wrong ality or in the model that i perceived is the critical functioning structure of the confines how the world works or to speak in other words you found that your is your view of the world your ideology was not right it was not working out that course iced tea party backed republican candidates emerged or the country to contest the three thousand and ten elections promising to stop the energy tax repeal health care and reduced the size of government. well the koch's chipping in to support some doesn't tape party candidates as usual and a real contribution was behind the scenes. in june at least resort in aspen colorado by hosting a secret strategy session with a network of the cultural wealthy donors and powerful allies including going back courting to this letter from charles at the june macy participants committed to an
11:51 am
unprecedented level of support soon after americans for prosperity announced plans to spend a staggering forty five million dollars on elections they ran ads attacking politicians to supporting the obama agenda. adama tried to hit back kucing at being a corporate front in more than a dozen speeches but if you're a battleground state right now you are being bombarded with negative ads every single day and nobody knows who's paying for these ads they've got these names like americans for prosperity. in a test kinds known as citizens united supreme court which included two judges who had attended sacred. rule that corporations were free to enormously invest as much as they want to the front groups and watch i have a. republican operative seized upon the decision creating new groups and flooding the airwaves with chains of millions of dollars in ads for unknown. on the
11:52 am
grassroots side i have paid just that off their buses launching their november is coming campaign i s p and freedom works also use their considerable budgets to try and mobilize the tea party yani identify your voters get them registered to vote bring him out to vote that's it the tea party was ready to strike hard laugh bad get a little laugh then american president no we're not here on the corner in north philadelphia we're down not going to be a god out there we have more operational. nine of the morning crew americans for prosperity we can run and i'll bet we have our people out there door knocking and we're standing here now and hear that we're going to that we don't like no why do you want me not mike you're beyond america we don't like your policy if i were to take you back on november thank you very much i was. told this morning it is being called a g.o.p. sweep a tea party tidal wave in the biggest one found for either party since nineteen
11:53 am
forty eight a new one hundred twelfth congress will feature forty two party members a lot of the libertarian leaning individuals within the tea party movement especially when it comes to taxes and over regulations they have got to this agenda that is taking us in the long direction it's a message of. limited prostitution government in the interests of the excessive government regulation in the control room that washington has become. there's a new day now the republicans took control of the house in november two thousand and ten very anti government agenda in fact one of their agenda items is to you know take out full government agencies like the part of education part of energy. when your politicians elected you want to shut down the government it sets a critique interesting tone for the debate. for me this newfound zeal for the close radical free market ideology is the real revenue. machine of the tape party
11:54 am
movement has nothing to do with people in a year old cos trains waving flags will hold in protest of things but it is a revolution that has everything to do with hidden corporate agendas complicit media players season propagandists a highly coordinated network of free market groups and most of all a pair of brothers with a dream to create a privatized america the american dream of free enterprise capitalism is alive and well. and so what does the american dream mean. married and dream to be here sure one word freedom if anything can dream means defending our own life and our freedoms and liberties that have made this country great to me the american dream is to live in peace and prosperity and freedom and
11:55 am
a government under socialism is not a government afraid of what about the freedom of being the beatles to make up their own mind through reason and rational bites what about the freedom to trust the grassroots movements such as that and not clones of the wealthy and what is the sky on which the says happened site about the strike american democracy. i think it's a serious threat to democracy and i think people are mostly unaware of it not completely unaware of the threat they're very much that unaware of the front groups and aware of how their thoughts are being manipulated and how their actions are actually being manipulated in many cases. i think they're unaware that we are the largest that have a plutocracy in this country or at least of them urging blind rather than democracy and i think that's because of the the rise of power and influence of corporations and the way that they've been able to use p.r. p.r.
11:56 am
tactics and propaganda to get what they want they want we are drowning in propaganda drowning out. and i'm not speaking figuratively i think it's threatening our lives it's good it's cutting off our air it's making real democracy. all but impossible it has brought the planet to the point of ecological destruction it's had no positive consequences whatsoever because it doesn't serve the people it serves other interests. i've come to believe more and more as i and studying this this problem that the real currency in democracy is honest. information.
11:57 am
that if you are on a mass scale able to pump out false information then the whole democratic system kind of breaks up. and yet these people have a perfect right to do it and hide their involvement in. and now you have very motivated people out across the country who are activists who are willing to fight for what they think is right for themselves but in fact this forty page corporate agenda that is to stop regulations and to stop taxes and they're not going to stop in two thousand and ten they will continue through two thousand and twelve elections as the tea party has marched on to two thousand and twelve and the goal of taking out president obama. and installing politicians who thought for the right to free markets my only message truth is to be careful what you wish for
11:58 am
because you just might get us was. the. i'm.
11:59 am
good.
