wiener gate as it's come to be called just keeps getting more bizarre while forgetting wiener day and casey anthony for that matter as well because a small group of people are carving out the future of the world in switzerland right now when we're is the mainstream media when it comes to covering the builder room. above all it will close training and educating our citizens to outcompete workers from other problems but why then mr president are workers from other countries getting american jobs and why does it appear that's the way u.s. companies think to prefer it in america without american workforce.

and as an example of where our economy is look will further than west virginia archers and miners prepare for round two in the battle for blair mountain will have an on the roma. it's friday june tenth i'm christine for now in washington d.c. and you are watching our t.v. . i want to start out today by looking at what you might see if you turn on some of the other channels some of those mainstream media channels here in the united states ok other guys are talking about take a look. gate as it's come to be called just keeps getting more bizarre and i'm a lot of back and i mean i'm going to be. ready to hurt the democratic party if he doesn't resign casey anthony back in court she is accused of killing her two year old daughter in two thousand and eight hour interview yesterday was harsh

today was just awful i'm not sure that she was sick as much as sick of the testimony she has been so stone faced so cold so callous maybe the gig is up and maybe that's why she's crying a lot songs now about what they're not talking about an event that's going on right now that includes some of the top movers and shakers from around the world we're talking about high ranking politicians european royalty c.e.o.'s central bankers and the list goes on more than one hundred people powerful people meeting in switzerland to discuss the global economy the war in libya and energy policy and more and how they might shape the future things that will actually impact you our seas lore and it is in switzerland and has more on the builder group. this great big hotel you can see on the hill behind me it's a hotel in summer it's in switzerland and it's there for the next couple of days around about one hundred fifty of the world's most powerful people will be meeting

behind closed doors to discuss whatever they like it's the builder go quickly get of course it's the invitation only gathering of the world's most influential people the attendees in the past including kings and presidents captains of industry and heads of the world's most powerful corporations media coverage of the building. nothing not even a list of people who'll be in attendance there's no publicized agenda no press releases are released by the jury in the course of the event. despite some fairly high level media moguls going to build a bird every single year but there are dedicated both about watches and one of them is a man called jim tucker he says that the arab spring will be a main topic of discussion here he says that the build a burgers are looking to create and engineer and mastermind a bloody war in the middle east in order to protect the interests of israel looking to prolong not but they will be worried he says because there is increasing opposition to the ball in libya in the u.s.

congress so that will be worrying that another thing that they'll be talking about he says is germany just card according to jim tucker and many other builder both watches it is the builder both groups who will decide who the future head of the i.m.f. will be so we'll be looking in the coming weeks and months for any source of information about that in the news agenda. and that was our he correspondent laura i met on the ground in st moritz that's. well as you saw in her report many of the there are many critics and anything you know this is not simply about friends in high places getting together to talk her into this is wealthy and powerful people who have proven that once this stuff that these conferences had a real impact in shaping policy and history among the critics radio host alex jones earlier i spoke to him and i asked him you know lot of people care about what's going on at this resort town that's around as we said well we should care because over the last few decades. building merck's lives have been able to smuggle out

some of the minutes of the meetings the goal of our group is now admitted that they covertly where the fifty years ago set up the core of the european union to be a system for private banking cartels to take over nation states build a better grip as an authoritarian agenda and hillary clinton back in the mid ninety's was fined hundreds of thousands of dollars for violating u.s. federal law for meeting with private individuals to set and discuss policy and so we should be concerned about the goteborg rate because this is the group that has openly promoted through their surrogates and spokespeople world government so they're very authoritarian and that's why they've gone to great lengths to have a media blackout especially in the united states and europe and it's only the last few years with the rise of the alternative media that mainstream news our corporate news here in the united states has been forced to even admit it existed just three years ago three hundred years ago the new york times came out and basically said

that i was insane when i was in chantilly covering it and that no one was there and it didn't exist so they still sometimes say it doesn't exist but more and more they're having to admit that it does in the bulk of our group has a lot of top media people there and openly has them sign agreements not to ever speak about it and then the has the washington post and others all right. i've been caught up in going and telling their chain of newspapers not to report on it and so that's the big issue that's a problem with the builder birdbrain it really is very close to the chip top of the shadow government capstone and there are of course people who say and a lot of evidence has in fact existed since the one nine hundred fifty four i believe but alex i mean let's go a little further here i mean you're saying that there's policy that things are being kind of etched out in these meetings that go on to change the world but at least here in the u.s. i mean we have a system that involves several branches of government you know to ensure that a bunch of rich people can get together and write and pass policies so how you know

math without a little further how are they what's talking about what's being spoken about here how is that then being translated into policy and actual change. well if you look at david rockefeller his family funded the creation of the united nations who gave them the land to build the u.n. in new york the build a better group is always pushing to get rid of national sovereignty and transfer to the private i.m.f. world bank private cell reserve and now we see that with president obama going along with nato the attack on libya and saying it will last days not weeks and lying and saying his authority comes from the u.n. he doesn't need the authority of congress which to clear violation of the constitution that's similar to caesar marching his trips across the rubicon into rome where the two thousand years ago this is classical tyranny and it is it's this move globally for standardized laws that are created at the corporate level of just last week wiki leaks released documents on the north american union meetings

advance canada in two thousand and six judicial watch and she had previously and gotten some of the documents and they talk about a stealth these are quotes stealth north american integration and then merging that with europe so this is a global corporate governance structure that's trying to transfer power out of our congress into the i.m.f. world bank world trade organization and so that's why more and more we see congress becoming really ceremonial or the schedule and i know i've read that in terms that it's very interesting in terms of the people who get invited for example a not very well known man back in one thousand nine hundred one was invited his name was bill clinton he of course then went on to win the presidency twice in a row so i know that there are examples like that and a lot of examples of you know skeptics instantly say that this is wealthy and powerful people who want to ensure that they remain wealthy and powerful but speak to this what do you think gather you know from the intelligence that you've got are some people have been there let's set up another well they talk about regarding

libya and what would they talk about regarding the euro. well there's only one man who undoubtedly has multiple moles what inside it has been able to predict huge deal political movements gas prices wars sometimes a year out because the goal of our group is not dominating the globe but it's certainly able to steer it to a great extent more than any other power block of this corporate consortium and we happen to know their agenda this year it is to continue to trigger the color revolutions of the middle east to destabilize that region and then to expand that he stabilization to pakistan and to try to stir something up between india and china to also circle russia russia by the way there are some chinese delegates at the oligarch but there are no russians there i should add that certainly russia is separate from this this you know polar world government system that is attempting to dominate also on the agenda is web censorship trying to consolidate change the

architecture of the web to cloud systems and systems where you don't have your own domains your own servers they openly are very angry about the rising free press as hillary said earlier in the year they are losing the info war they are also moving to continue to try to bankrupt the middle class in the western world because they want to make people dependent and they are threatened by a portly mobile middle class's their agenda is also to continue to try to debase world currencies in a concerted effort so that individual nations don't notice is bad and they want to try to force your opening united states to continue bailouts to the big six mega banks that are really just cash payment directly to them and one of the other key issues is carbon taxes they really need to force through their carbon taxes so they can control all human activity on the globe certainly didn't use a lot to keep an eye on the builder of meeting with ross at the end of this week and i want to also ask you you were saying that

a lot of people have denied that this even went on certainly that doesn't happen anymore we're also starting to see a lot of new. media turn out for this more and more each year i'm even told they they get taken up on a builder bus some of the media some of the protesters. to show up there and actually see what they can gather intelligence outside of the conference what do you think this says that slowly but surely there is you know this gradual interest on what does happen behind closed doors. well it's an illustration of the awakening that's happening and also shows that the real media is supplanting the establishment propaganda media and truth is is rising and the hopes that powerful elites don't meet and don't try to set agendas that asinine hoax is imploding and is a bigger present he said last year to the council on foreign relations ranch in canada he said for the first time in modern history the world is politically awakening and that's a very dangerous present he went on to say for the anglo-american power elite that

want to continue to dominate the last to try to project and use the wealth and ingenuity of the last to try to dominate intimidate the planet and set of all nations really working together through sovereignty through liberty for technological and cultural development so build a bird inclosing is on the run they are depressed they are angry reportedly from our moles they are actually causing man at what's happening and they see their power slipping away because they they must operate from behind the scenes as long as they can do that they have a lot of power through their phantom menace but the minute that that curtain is pulled back we see the little man behind the curtain and we understand that this elite is not invincible and their system is crumbling they are on the run and there's a big protest coming up tomorrow at twelve noon there in switzerland against them as the people of europe march on elder burke and i'm sure you'll keep us posted on

exactly what you find out after it all wraps up alex jones host of the alex jones show joining us in texas thanks so much coming up now to a look at the u.s. economy and not only to the state of it but how it's being perceived by americans despite a slow recovery and some fronts when asked the likeliness of the u.s. having another great depression similar to the one in the one nine hundred thirty s. and majority of american families. yes or at least probably take a look at this nineteen percent of american faith it's very likely and twenty nine percent say somewhat likely that's nearly half of americans who believe we will return to a time when twenty five percent of workers were unemployed banks across the country failed and millions of ordinary americans were temporarily homeless or unable to feed their families all right so what's happening to lead people to this conclusion i'm joined here in studio by political columnist harold meyerson and harold let's talk about this i mean some frightening figures by americans and also today just

you know in trying to combat this to lawmakers just a few hours ago we saw right here in washington a congressman for from virginia and a senator from virginia mark warner congressman frank wolf they announced that they're going to be pushing legislation that actually rewards companies for bringing jobs that were lost back to the u.s. so i want to start off just by asking you how likely do you think this is not just that legislation will pass but that this will work well it's not clear anywhere distillation can pass in the current congress but that said i think what this initiative addresses is the fact that it's not clear where private sector jobs are going to come from in the united states at this point and i think that's what's behind those poll figures that you cited just a moment ago when most of our major standard and poor's five hundred companies are because corporations are investing abroad they're not investing here labor is cheaper their industrial policies in the countries we go to or whether they're high in countries in europe or developing countries in asia. really are welcoming to

these companies and there's a great deal of automation going on within the manufacturing process here so the jobs are just not being generated and wages are totally stuck if not declining it's a bad situation so i think that kind of legislation before would have been off the table right now something like that might have a prayer certainly people look at manufacturing as an industry that sort of built this country up president obama also you know singing the same tune i know he's been trying to talk about this he's spoken several times. i have one example so we'll listen and get your response. i see a future where we train workers who make things here in the united states and continue a important and honorable tradition of folks working with their hands creating value. not just. shuffling paper that's part of what

has built the american dream. so let's talk about this american dream i you know especially regarding manufacturing in jobs in the u.s. what needs to happen well several things need to happen and i think the corporate model in america is a lot of the problem you take corporations which in sabbat ninety nine he say well we're really only responsible to our shareholders not our communities not our workers and you put that in the context of globalization and well shareholders so you get a profit making things in china apple may be the parodic matic model american company right now has all of its product actually made in china not in this country so they have some to and some thousands of well paid designers and marketers here but hundreds of thousands of production workers abroad no production workers here that's a tough nut to crack i think i think we do need that kind of ideas but senator warner and congressman wolf talked about today if you will i think the good point of comparison is germany really germany exports

a huge amount of its product high end manufacturing paying its workers that concluding benefits three dollars for every two dollars we have here and they're able to do that by keeping the high value added manufacturing at home that's partly because of a strong german tradition it's partly because they actually have work to representatives on corporate boards which i would love to see here it's a different situation but it's working out a lot better for them and it is for us such an important example that you bring up germany they seem to kind of be on the right track still in terms of knowing how to handle unions and what to do with workers' rights and we do see in such tough times germany's economy doing pretty ok but back to the u.s. and you mentioned some of these numbers before i want to point to some of the examples you gave in your writings about standard and poor's some of the biggest companies here in america you said that thirty two percent of the income of the firms in the s. and p. index of some of these largest companies came from abroad and by two thousand and eight that figure had grown to forty eight percent so that's you know. not

a long time not even a full decade of some a really big change in terms of where the income comes from i guess i want to know from you i mean what does this say to you and more importantly what are the chances that these numbers can go back down again i think is something very hard one of the things that feeling those numbers is the fact that you have the chinese and indian economy growing at eight nine ten percent every year you're not getting that growth here you're not going to have that kind of growth here that can happen in a mature economy like ours so if they want to be close to the where the markets are growing they're going to be there but again germany is a counter example because as i said germany exports to these countries we do but we import more. i think we need to have a policy really on engendering not just jobs but decent paying jobs in this country which still exists for professionals but are quickly disappearing everywhere else and i know another thing that you wrote about you pointed to among the things that are flawed not just certain things that are going on but also the discussion that's

being had here in the u.s. about the economy that you know instead of debating cyclical versus structural in terms of the different types of things that are going on you know for example those who argue that public spending can respond restore prosperity versus those who say you know american workers need to learn different trades you say there's something that we're missing here in the discussion well it's institutional i mean american corporations are behaving as they should if their goal is simply to reward shareholders that doesn't work in a globalized economy they're behaving as they should if they're in a place where they can get away with it well yes and you can get away with it here . in a sense the whole culture is skewed towards our children in this country that's a dangerous thing and millions and millions of americans are paying the price for that so i think i think if we took workers more seriously and that requires some legislative changes i think if. we did invest more in infrastructure that would

help. education as well but there are fundamental things about corporate fly in this country that i think are very deep and are going to be hard to address i would love to see legislation such as that suggested by our for junior legislators. that really did reward companies for creating jobs here as distinct from jobs abroad a little columnist harold meyerson thanks so much for joining us thank you will a battle is being waged in west virginia but it's not a new one ninety years ago miners thought coal companies paid part paramilitaries in the biggest armed uprisings and the federal war now environmentalists are fighting to save blair mountain and the miners are still fighting to survive archie's callen ford brings us more from america's core country. hundreds of miners active as an environmentalist have marched fifty miles to right here at the base of blair mountain they think mining technique called now on top removal is devastating the local environment and also contaminating the water threatening the very soul

appalachian. really simple water jobs we can remember the times when miners stood up for their rights to organize for better pay for better health care for better integration. good. oh. sure well but. for these families what these things are really being threatened is their ability to survive many of their descendants fought in the battle of blair mountain in one thousand twenty one and ninety years later they say little has changed coal is everything i wouldn't live anywhere else i'm happy and these people or not have to see anyone happy they would rather hug a tree and starve or minor is just a painful very painful situation and. that's older coal if you're not in the coal you're into the drugs. the coal and blair mountain has some of the most sought after in the united states

ninety years ago miners fought coal companies paramilitaries for the rights that they say they're still fighting for today and they're gearing up for the second battle of blair mountain killing ford artsy blair was for genius. still ahead here on r t drawing the line what's up with us senators taking time to support israel but america has got some problem of. what drives the world the fear mongering used by politicians who makes decisions to break through to be made who can you cross no one. is your view with the global regime where we had a state controlled capitalism it's called. that when nobody dares to ask we do our tea question more.

well among the issues u.s. senators are focusing on an effort to remind israel and the world that the u.s. stands by israel on everything even when the president says otherwise we believe the borders of israel palestine should be based on the nine hundred sixty seven lines with mutually agreed swaps. this statement by the president which he has since backtracked a bit on has led several u.s. senators to sponsor a resolution showing their support of israel and of prime minister benjamin netanyahu there's

a few provisions from the bill whereas the united states has long recognized that a return to the one nine hundred sixty seven lines would create a strategic military vulnerability for israel and greatly impede its sovereign right to defend its borders whereas prime minister of israel benjamin netanyahu correctly stated that the nine hundred sixty seven lines were not boundaries of peace but they are the boundaries of repeated war just a few things out of that resolution that was put forth and you know there are multiple issues going on right now both domestic and international that senators can't seem to agree on this one all this one is getting support from all sides multiple senators democrats republicans all are site signing on and earlier i spoke to alexander coburn coeditor of counterpunch as well as a contributing writer to the nation magazine he told me why you think several notable senators were willing to line up behind this resolution. well you saw all. netanyahu was received in the u.s. congress not so long ago he was interrupted what twenty eight times by rapturous

applause that should give you a clue when the members of the u.s. congress have the se of his or in front of them they think political survival they think campaign money that's it i mean the congress is israeli occupied territory so this time live moment of course has been the u.s. senate took from israel the prime u.s. senator from israel for many many years no surprises there because no surprises in the whole spectacle which is what i have to expect any political movement to get past the u.s. congress beneficial to the situation in the middle east is totally impossible but let's talk about this i mean you mentioned that a lot of these senators you know politicians really across the board here in the u.s. they do get a lot of their funding from a pac the american israel public affairs committee there a very powerful lobby here a very powerful group but there are so many other powerful groups and lobbies here in washington why is it do you think that these politicians really really feel i

mean there's got to be some other reasons ideological or whatever that they really feel the need to stand in the corner of israel time and time again well the ideology of a u.s. senator or a u.s. congressman for that matter starts with getting reelected that's ideologically very important to the politician and they know fully well if they do not vote the way the lobby wants them to or if they contravene the lobby their political future might well be in danger and they're right there are many examples in recent u.s. political history going back to president bush sr who annoyed the israel lobby and they paid a political country so they may be busy doing the bidding of the oil companies of israel or. the auto companies you name it but first and foremost they know that the israeli lobby in their districts really has. and i would argue that president obama even went further than george h.w. bush in terms of pushing israel

a little bit in terms of especially when he talked about in a recent speech about the one thousand nine hundred sixty seven borders he's gone he's gone pretty far and a lot of people are saying that this resolution that this bill proposed is sort of a political game that this is pushing back against obama and making sure that he knows that he can't step on israel's has you mentioned the numerous standing ovations i know i just got back from europe yesterday and people there were absolutely shocked you know it's one thing for us politicians behind closed doors to support israel but to be so blatant in their support people not in this country people everywhere else were extremely shocked that the entire u.s. congress seems to be in this position to talk about that. well at least one obama has a been careful throughout his entire career when it really matters not to cross the lobby and in fact right before the election of two thousand and eight he made an

absolutely shameless speech to apac no as regards his statement about respecting nine hundred sixty seven borders what he or fixedly did in that speech was known as the possibility of the u.n. you know recognizing the palestinians to declare national territory i mean these are difficult times for the u.s. government obviously they have the middle east in flames they don't want to seem incredibly costly to israel but everybody knows they are there trying to do a little bit of a dance to maintain some appearance that they're independent brokers in this but it will when when. america when the rubber hits the road. and they go with israel i had mentioned this before and we didn't exactly get to it but. you know the perception in the u.s. forces the perception of pride in the u.s. and those people have come to accept this is very normal that you know as it states

in the resolution that it's the duty of the united states to support israel people in other countries including you know even and and europe and the u.k. think that this is a little crazy that that especially u.s. lawmakers are so blatant in their support talk about perception as it differs here versus the rest of the world well. when you look at europe though i mean they could they can say well we're not you know the us is completely impossible and droned but when it came to things like garza practical issues on the ground the e.u. was just as bad as the united states was absolutely appalling so so when you look at substance in real efforts to drive the situation what would you have to look not at europe not of the u.s. but elsewhere to see any substantial effort to change the situation i mean the europeans not to say the united states a fanatical and all the rest of it but when they calculate heels when it comes to sharp.
