me. we know for sure that richard nixon and ronald reagan sat down the conversation about it was their approach that well i mean they made a deal that would deal is in our very own backyard so what else happens at this secret grove gathering in large t. want to see for ourselves we have the story from northern california. and shepherding the flock is a piece of the political promise land just an attendance away for politicians of the christians for israel summit. but i want to listen for the source right under the trees but it's also. going all in just to lose big so as new green card lottery winners are chosen did the u.s.

state department gamble with lives. good evening it's monday july eighteenth eight pm here in washington d.c. i'm lauren lister in your watching our t.v. now we knew rupert murdoch was taking heat with the scandal rocking his media empire but then shocking news this afternoon that his body was found dead it was a hoax brought to the world by the hacking group. that look at this they reach a rock to the home page of murdoch's newspaper the sun to a fake story about murdoch found dead from a drug overdose and they were tweeting all the way look at what they said they said arrest us we dare you we are the unstoppable hacking generation and you are a wasted old sack of a word i cannot say murdock row row row fight the power now they also were engaged

in some other high jinx the sun's website rejected to their twitter feed they tweeted about it saying that it was just that saying hello everyone that wanted to visit the sun how is your day good good to have a little fun there but yet one point it also. looks like they actually tweeted some internal data of a sun staff employee including their username and password looks like they may have taken that down though because later it didn't look like it appeared on the feed now looks like murdoch was just the inspiration to bring the group out of retirement you remember that they announced they were quitting late last month quitting their hacking that is now everyone has been wondering if murdoch's empire will be taken down as a result of this scandal looks like these hackers managed to make gains on their own quite literally and quite effectively now under increasing scrutiny and allegations about journalism practices of news corps on both sides of the pond the company is a corporation is under ever increasing scrutiny now in the u.s.

to we know an f.b.i. investigation has been launched into whether nine eleven victims voice mails were hacked this means that the u.s. murdoch empire and the fate of fox news is now up for debate even despite their last earnings report showing that profits for news corp was falling overall fox news has has continued to be a bright spot their earnings report showed that fox continued to post double digit gains and advertising revenues so seems to be quite a profitable element of the business now veteran journalist ashton retards he's an award winning new middle eastern affairs journalist he told r.t. this earlier about fox news as fate would democrats have nothing much to do but they all hate one particular influential cable channel four news and i'm hearing that if. the nine eleven victims. subsidiaries of news corps then folks news is finished well perhaps he's saying what people are

thinking but that's up to you to decide now news corps has lost billions of dollars and its market cap in the first several days that this scandal broke already damage is being done when it comes to dollars and cents now once powerful moguls like rupert murdoch. where does the elite of that oil go for boys down time and possibly for something much more nefarious than that well one ploy place maybe bohemian grove critics call it builder or west and a collection of some of the nation's most powerful men passed us presidents from troy taft and hoover to reagan and george bush both father and son they've been here business leaders have attended reportedly google c.e.o. eric schmidt is one and they've all gathered for a retreat in the forests that shrouded in secrecy its bohemian grove and it is going on now it is the playground of the union club and their annual getaway began over the weekend now on friday we question what

a group of some of the most powerful men in the country meeting in secret would lead to pass allegations include everything from heavy drinking to sex but more impactful to society and more concerning for protestors that turn out to picket is political deals and policy that has reportedly been hatched undemocratically in private at this retreat now our own christine white a bohemian grove herself over the weekend to find out what is really going on here is what she did. it is nestled among the redwoods twenty seven hundred acres of pristine land broken down into dozens of camps and for two weeks every july since the eight hundred eighty s. they've been filled with some of the most wealthy and powerful men in the world. many of them arrive on their corporate jets at the nearby sonoma county airport. others arrive in fancy cars which will fill the onsite parking lot at its height

there is said to be more than two thousand men who attend and as you can imagine they are well protected by a trove of police right now i know what we're uncovering the pros. the we just wanted to see if there was i would like to know still get off the property there's no way we know there's not a lot of the police coming around to see if you know. access is by invitation only and most pay more than fifteen thousand dollars to attend. and for more than thirty five years protesters have stood at the entrance gates our concern is not what's going on inside of the grove but what's happening outside of the grove with the people that are in here according to several reports and this is where the idea for the manhattan project was conceived back in one thousand forty two it's also where every republican president since the sixty's i spent time before actually becoming

the nominee we know for sure that richard nixon and ronald reagan sat down and had conversation about who was going to run for president and i mean they made a deal peter phillips wrote his dissertation on the go humean club in one thousand nine hundred four and was invited to attend for four days he witnessed firsthand the opening of that the cremation of care where the power elite leave their cares behind in a symbolic ceremony an ether moloch seen in this photo judge says he was a paid employee of the grove and drove the horse and buggy but carried the casket in the ceremony the casket represented their peers and they would actually burn it in their. music this is a place filled with secrets that only those who go inside and perhaps the tree will ever really know but i was able to get my hands on some photographs but i want to show you just to give you a sense on what it looks like on the inside this is

a photograph of people who were attacked as we mentioned it is all men and this is a photograph of them. this here was taken back in one thousand nine hundred nine colin powell is back and donald rumsfeld had and this is thomas kean two years later he would become head of the nine eleven commission here's a picture newt gingrich and reconsider and it was unearthed on another site of thomas kean here's a much younger dick cheney at the grove and henry kissinger having a little fun i was also able to get my hands on several programs from previous years outlining the schedule of talks and their topics and what we have here on july twenty second two thousand and eight is the let's talk c.f.r. member and trilateral commission member fred starr he gave a talk called afghanistan the unexpected there are other connections to be made as well between the lakeside talks and public policy that this was

a man that was involved in the. oil business george when quit the persian gulf crisis this is making eighty caspar weinberger who was the secretary of defense in the reagan administration on rearming america and that's easily documented the arms buildup came in around late eighty one. there are rumors of extreme drunkenness of prostitutes and of homosexual activities by members but for the most part it is the secret backroom agreements critics say should be brought to light that agreement can be you know occupying the middle east. fighting terrorism. and circling china politically and militarily for mary moore who's been researching bohemian grove for more than three decades what happens inside is symptomatic of a much larger problem we've all grown up taking civics trying to understand how the world works and we're all told that we elect representatives they go to washington

we have total influence over them and they make decisions that are in the best interests of us then we start growing up and if we pay any kind of attention we find out that none of that is true in want to real california christine for zone r.t. now earlier i spoke with radio host alex jones he's actually sneaked into bohemian grove in the past and we talked about this on friday some of the background that he knows and i asked him you know that interview we had was very popular on you tube when the ten most discussed stories of the week and on the site i asked him given that interest why he thinks more mainstream news didn't come out about the gathering. first the corporate media denied it existed for a long time it's like build a bar again now that we've exposed it they say oh it's no big deal the reason they have secret service there the reason there is such a caring is because major global decisions are being made inside the north american slash british power axes known as the anglo-american establishment their

own historian carol quigley wrote about it as i said german chancellor schmidt helmut schmidt run about how major decisions are being made there the growth likes to set it on having power and then trying to be secret but then separately the other san francisco chronicle berkeley and san jose state they released the minutes usually decades after the fact of meetings they had at the chalet it's a meeting house hold several hundred and then also the lakeside chats and so for fifteen days extremely powerful people are getting together not to just get drunk they're getting together because in this atmosphere revelry the rival to to cement the leadership of the new world order system and get a continuity of agenda going by combining forces they protect their assets and also expand their power and so a lot more decisions get made there than get made in congress and their lapdogs in

the congress basically execute what the bahamian grows lobbyist from the major corporations pay them to do so this is a special interest meeting under the redwoods in a point eight hundred acre compound under guard and major decisions are being made there in the logo and that's our lightning pilot ok enough quite a charge so my question to you think you have people on the ground and you have a great athlete a talking than ourselves what is the biggest example you would give and rethink years to make you feel like major stuff is going on there that people should be concerned about. you've got more and more of the leadership of google yahoo microsoft and apple and builder berg and also what the grove and more and more of the establishment is counting on their tech not proceeding so they've got to the technology had a meeting with the head of the n.s.a. and build a bird reportedly also at bohemian grove to cut a fine and cybersecurity takeover of the lab the pentagon admits they've got fake

bots out propagandizing americans with fake comments that they want to be able to have an internet kill switch and that now they're going to government announcements forcing their way on your mobile phones and portable computers it's a technical problem there but you can watch the whole interview on our web site with the voice and a picture to think i was a radio host alex jones and speaking of influence over politics thousands of christians have filled the washington d.c. convention center to show their support for the state of israel and to lobby congress now calling for lays out why you as a taxpayer should know about what goes on in the questions united for israel senate . for these christians it's the holy land zion the home of god's chosen people christians tonight youth for israel israel israel and israel thousands gathered here in washington to show their support for the nation of israel god says i will bless those who places where. i am personally i'd like i would like to be part of

that thank you very much. organized by pastor in televangelist john higgins the christians united for israel so many those plenty of big names including glenn back john bolton and members of congress i want you to look over the. just right. in the worst of her shoes to destroy most. each show me. and i was really. something else like oh was he a leader or my. hostess let. each year the conference brings together christian and jewish leaders for prayer. speeches we stand up and say no more no more hatred no more demonizing israel not my helen thomas is not more to scholarship no more misrepresentations we can set

the limit on one thing and a celebration of the special bond between israel and the united states when ever we kind of stiff israel something bad happens here we we pushed people out of gaza and so forth and then we had to train over here where people were pushed into different states because of a storm and people see almost a parallel between rough treatment to israel. and judgment happening to america to fight a tough stance by defending israel and some participants say they want to see more than sanctions used against iran it has really slowed. their nuclear advances and i don't know that america that we can do anything we hope that the israelis should be preemptive other participants say god will intervene i don't care how much the iranians get their bomb together tonight israel it will fizzle. it will this will it will could not lurk because in the sixty seven year old it worth their time and

time again if they would look up and they would see bombs to bowl in the air and there was this invisible bubble over israel because god is going to kick his people many christians also believe the second coming of jesus christ can occur without the state of israel i suppose you could but he won't know where to land because is he supposed to land on the mount of olives and yes to go into the temple compound christian zionists believe that only when the jewish people are in israel the end of the world can begin if you're a believer in jesus you will go up. the rapture yes. if the jewish people it's still a mystery how god's going to work all that. but there is a lot. we do you think. the jews are the other say they're here for more earthly reasons including lobbying congress on the quote biblical position of coup find

support for the nation of israel then why should we go to capitol hill and we speak to our congressman our senators and encourage them to stand with israel and all their voting on the final day of the summit christians united for israel our brain to settles and makes appointments for all of its attend these to visit their representatives in congress ensuring a strong voice for pro israel positions year after year feel in fort artsy washington d.c. now earlier i spoke with mass luminol who is a journalist they got kicked out of the summit a few years ago he's been very critical of see us five he's a fellow at the nation institute and author of this republican go more now i asked him first jewish and self if anyone at these events or otherwise has accused him of the train the american judeo christian tradition because of his criticism here's what he said. when when i covered this and you can see my coverage of this all of your viewers can see my coverage of this in

a video called rapture ready christians united for israel's washington israel summit two thousand and seven it's on you tube and person after person at this conference asked me if i was a member of the jewish race and well they didn't attempt to convert me they told me that you know i'm eventual e going to have to convert myself because when the rapture comes i'm going to burn in an everlasting lake of fire not just temporarily burn in a lake of fire but forever burn in a lake of fire on because that's their theological belief and that's the source of their support for israel case three in my mind is politically irrelevant has made very little impact you only have to look at netanyahu his appearance before congress where he rejected nine hundred sixty seven borders and land swaps which is what j. street had bases its whole existence upon it based their existence upon the peace process which netanyahu has rejected and netanyahu received more standing ovations

by the congress and barack obama did in his state of the union address right so what christians united for israel supports they and what they have to support from a theological perspective is that not only that israel keeps all of the settlements in the west bank but that they commit massive ethnic cleansing in order to rid the west bank to rid all of the area between the jordan river and the mediterranean sea of non jews because this is part of their theology their eschatology according to the book of revelation and for apac a jewish organization a supposedly pro israel organization to be helping set up this conference to be appearing publicly at this conference is an indorsement of israel an exciting the whole west bank and then a divorce mitt. that's nick cleansing in my opinion i want to ask you a little bit more about something backing up something you said you know in the united states there's a separation of church and state i'm curious though

a lot of the beliefs that seem to be driving this organization are very theological and there are politicians there that are speaking and that are on board and i want to play a little bit of an interview you did with former majority leader tom de lay who which i think is a little pretty illustrative let's play that we're brings you the christians united for israel well i was in on the ground floor and i worked with john and i and haiti for many many years on many different projects and how much of an inspiration is the second coming and your support for israel obviously it's what i live for really i hope it comes to more of a. really well and obviously we have to be connected be real in order to enjoy the second coming. did you find that that was representative of the people in attendance is beliefs about their support for israel absolutely and you can just watch my video when i speak to first now after person who says that

but what's remarkable is that was the majority leader of the united states congress at the right and but so what i want to ask is that if you have this group it's lobbying washington because of these beliefs and the united states is very supportive of israel three billion dollars in aid annually on average military support political support foreign policy support is this for the biblical prophesy . this is just the reason the christians united for israel exists is. for several reasons one israel is one of the top three issues for the religious right sides of fortune and opposing gay marriage or the existence of gays . but number two the israel lobby jewish groups who i consider to be extremely right wing like a pack are promoting christians united for israel because of israel's fear the

israeli government's fear of what it calls the legitimization now that it's being a pariah state ok just really really quickly i'm so tired we're almost out of time but i just want to ask you if yes or no you see this as a logical influence in politics by this group to be problematic when it comes to church and state separation absolutely and i see it in the republican party across the board especially in the house and it's problematic with regards to foreign policy and america's relations with iran as an actor and all bestselling author and a fellow at the nation institute now imagine getting the chance of a lifetime to move to this so-called land of opportunity only to see that dream fade before you finish packing your bags well that is exactly what happened after a computer glitch at least so says the state department it gave out thousands of green cards on accident in the visa lottery then let everybody know hey just kidding you didn't win the lottery and a federal judge has now just missed

a class action lawsuit that was challenging that decision now the state department has been trying to mop up the fallout from the mistake but the lives of those people who thought they won hangs in the balance and are to correspondent can has their story. hoping for a better life in america it took or from nigeria applied for the green card lottery he won or so we said in the letter that he received from the state department almost two weeks later the us voided the results of the lottery for some twenty two thousand people including a war that i want to watch and. i'm not going to. and scream for each year the u.s. state department grants green cards to some three fifty thousand people from around the globe the lottery where the jackpot is the right to live and work in america is advertised as completely random the state department claims in this case there was a computer glitch and the results were not arbitrary and

a computer programming error caused more than ninety percent of the selectees to come from the first two days of the registration period the victims of the blunder have joined in a class action suit against the u.s. state department and lost the court here has been struggling with the issue of randomness asking how could the result of the green card lottery not be random even if there had been a computer glitch as the state department claims one of the arguments is that even an error like that could produce a random result and the whole idea behind the green card lottery is that whoever you are whatever you do you can win it but this case could very well undermine that perception experts specializing in information technology say the decision of the state department as well as the court that dismissed the case defies simple logic random means that if only record and old tracks are on your cd player when you hear the rumble you make your tracks three four and five and then your track twelve

that's still run the state department has brought up intricate technical arguments to explain the blunder the thousands of its victims say they have the feeling that someone has gambled with their lives we believe that america through their eyes are . going to shut down our t.v. washington d.c. . and joining us in our new york studio now is and i did she is a student hofstra university we thank you so much for being with us now you are one of those people who applied if that you won the green card lottery and then found out that it was taken away how did this mistake change your life because i heard that your parents sold their apartment in russia too so that you have the cash to do this to move to the u.s. well they did not exactly sell it they put it on sale i. i if there was enough time for me when we found out but i didn't when i just called the whole thing off but they were prepared to sell their apartments to help me out because hold on here yes

so how do you feel now that it got taken away my brother messaged me on may thirteenth i was in the middle of finals studying and not calling the news at all and he just he message me i went online i looked up then else months and i thought that the announcement that the whole thing was revoked was a computer glitch itself and how was that for you were you counting on this for your life. well it was not my only option that i was considering to stay in the u.s. i was really happy to win it you know that it would save me years of uncertainty and dependence on the single employer so yeah i was really shocked when i found out that it was invalidated now you yourself are studying to be an immigration attorney and a little twist of irony is that correct. well i'm not studying to be a particular immigration attorney i'm just studying general law but everybody else

is required yes but i haven't turned the law firm as an immigration law firm and i do have an interest in immigration law yes does this experience make you want to change immigration policy in the united states because there are other problems with the visa lottery program just one is that people that i've interviewed come here and realize that their job in education experience doesn't isn't accepted here . well i do think of the immigration system needs a lot of changes i don't know if the diversity visa lottery needs that because it only brings what about four percent of immigrants and there is a high school diploma requirements of the least now eighty percent of u.s. immigration is family based with no skills language or education requirements so if people are concerned about that then they should be looking at what brings the most immigrants without. without any skills that the government will be taking for so there is to use a lottery is this part of the system and i think it's no better and no worse than

anything else here and really quickly you know people often apply to this thinking that the u.s. is the land of opportunity but if you've been here for a while you know the unemployment numbers they keep coming out it's above nine percent has been for a while are you sure you want to live here absolutely i haven't checked craigslist it's swarmed with jobs i mean they don't pay eighty thousand a year but there are plenty of jobs they're paying thirty forty fifty thousand i mean come on it might be hard to live on that if you have two children in school and two cars in the mortgage but or for an independent adult that's fine honestly it's all that bad all right well our viewers heard it because i know a lot of people are very concerned about jobs and can't find them we wish you the best of luck that was and image chick a student at hofstra university with her story now meanwhile it looks like the hubble telescope is in for some friendly competition these days with russia and ukraine launched a rocket carrying a state of the art telescope into space the telescope is said you have a resolution one thousand times sharper than the whole goal and will help

scientists examine how galaxies are formed now we just want to bring in a story to show how despite tough economic times there is still cooperation and investment in space exploration as our chief correspondent and ocean found right there in baikonur she has the story. this is the moment russian space scientists have been waiting for for decades the space observatory equipped with a cutting edge telescope marks a huge tapping universal ration as an enormous i will be able to see further and deeper than ever before it with the possible to observe the most mysterious the darkest and the most shadows of corners of our galaxy and other galaxies as well and stars and even to be able to observe black holes and shed light on their dark nature and these huge enormous i will be able to provide detailed images detailed pictures of the universe with a resolution thousand times sharper than america.
