why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy is a report on our key. to the. as the mastermind behind the twin terror attacks in norway pleads not guilty what's behind his masonic ideology and should it be taken seriously we will try to decode the simple. and as the youth of spain protest over their country's economic situation whole weekend of debt talks in d.c. came to nothing so when the going gets tough why won't americans get going to the streets. do you own a museum serous you know you did that if that land that i come from certainly has a stronger economy because i'm asking reality with some comic con really why don't

these people get together for real issues like to save the world from economic doom . and on league of their own even after title line why women still on the losing end when it comes to. it's monday july twenty fifth four pm in washington d.c. and christine for is out there watching our team. starting off today a deeper look into the man behind the terror attacks in oslo norway thirty three year old anders behring breivik appeared in a closed session of court today and he's admitted he was behind the attack in norway's capital and the massacre at the youth camp and it simultaneously has denied criminal guilt even believes himself to be a european hero he wrote a fifteen hundred page man. festo some interesting things have come out of it and

sensually that this is a person filled with hate and with extremely racist ideals he says he wanted to start a revolution to inspired norwegians to retake their country from muslims and other immigrants and despises multiculturalism so what's interesting is that these ideas stemmed back hundreds of years and have been reignited with the rebirth of the knights templar a branch of the freemasons very fixed as he is part of so we want to talk about this today about the freemasons an organization with many members who consider themselves morally superior many of whom are committed to bettering the world by any means necessary so was this an isolated incident or an ideology we should really start to take seriously to help answer some of these questions let's bring in alex jones host of the alex jones show he's in austin texas alex this is an organization with members including george washington andrew jackson but also jesse

jackson silvio berlusconi hard to argue that the entire membership thinks the way anders breivik does but i wanted to get into the psychology behind this organization i know you've looked into it a bit what do you make of this. sure well you just got back from bohemian grove of your great coverage there that i watched and that is a masonic organization and it's admittedly masonic and they carry out some of the more archaic and secretive rituals there and it's even been covered by national geographic magazine showing over a hundred year old photograph of them engaging in a black magic ritual there so there are different branches of the masonic system and what happens is private intelligence agencies government intelligence agencies criminal groups try to infiltrate different arms of masonic lodges because of the secrecy they can organize behind closed doors in compartmentalise areas

that's why the illuminati and seven hundred seventy six that it will start university in various germany was founded inside of masonic lodges and then spread to france and engineer of the french revolution there they want to overthrow all the monarchies but set themselves out as absolute monarchs and albert pike have a supreme commander of all global masonry in eight hundred seventy seven wrote that they would have three world wars world war one between europe and the united states and. world war two would be a larger global war the third war would be christendom against islam that would be invoked by their masonic operatives that would bring in world war three and out of that they would destroy every existing order and even the finance capitalist and set themselves up as world rulers in the worship of the true one god in their words lucifer and then he that made ellison this is what we're seeing that this is you know the start of world war three or

a tiny portion of what could lead to world war three. well yes this is an attempt by someone who he says has other cells he's being handled now admitted that m i five knew what was going on and he was at meetings with british quote knights templars with british intelligence watching them undoubtedly involved with them i predicted last week on thursday that they would start moving the terror threat away from muslims in europe in the united states over to quote white right wing al qaeda people that won't go along with the new wars the banker bailouts the open borders of this as a way to demonize it so i could see the shift in law enforcement training manuals i was being shan't even different messages in the media that they were about to flip to this and i said that the attacks were imminent imminent on thursday and our report on that one around the world but it was even more imminent than i thought

and it was almost instantaneous less than twenty four hours later this began and you've got multiple shooters reported by eyewitnesses that look nothing like a brain vick dark hair but with norwegian features you have the police ninety minutes not getting there you have his facebook being altered from illuminati stuff to saying he's a christian conservative that's confirmed all of this is up on in force dot com play you're trying to say alex that there's a lot of the pieces here that we're not being told about this specific attack let me let me switch gears because i want to get into more question and i think you bring up a really important point and it seems to me at least like for the last ten years both here in the u.s. and across europe authorities and investigators have focused only on the threat of al qaeda when we think about more right wing extremist groups that things that to me at least you know they're often dismissed as sort of being on the friends and you know not very great in numbers i'm wondering if you think that this was simply a case of a man acting alone and it seems to me that you think it wasn't or if this is

a window into a much larger problem. it's a window into a larger problem but but it's not what the script writers are telling us this is invoking a clash of civilizations he's calling for in the media is building him up like you know captain europe to choose to be the crusader against the muslim hordes in their words and then this will undoubtedly getting all this attention and a slick packaging in the glamour photos and videos and the plagiarized treatise will now be a bible to lone wolfs that will undoubtedly now carry out a vince has like a cia set up in seventy nine al qaida that put out the radical muslim ideas which then were picked up by real muslims and carried out then the left has excuses to invade and take over the middle east so this is a psychological warfare program where the establishment is launching

a grassroots crusade against the muslims in europe and then government will sit back in the western intelligence agencies and security agencies and play the part the referee and the arbiter but tween the muslims and christians killing each other and so this is basically a very sophisticated form of false flag attack where whether he's a mind control patsy or whether he believes he's acting as part of his there's a luminati knights templar knighthood. it is invoking a clash of civilizations that's only one level i don't need to stop you there out of time a regardless of anything and certainly with a wake up call i think whether or not you know authority that it definitely was a wake up call i think to most of the world and certainly a tragic attack that happened there radio host alex jones joining us thanks often talk this. well today is monday and we're coming off a weekend where tense does not begin to describe the situation between the president and top lawmakers you may remember on friday president obama said he was

holding a mandatory meeting force on saturday morning called top lawmakers to make some headway in the process of raising the debt ceiling well guess what we can has come and gone so it's a nice photo op for everyone sitting down at the table together but some jobs exchanged as well and where are we today in comparison to last week it appears we are no further the clock now taking with just eight days to go the u.s. is dancing now with default how on earth did you get to this point and what needs to happen in the next week to avoid what some are comparing to financial armageddon on a global global scale how craig roberts was the assistant secretary of treasury under president reagan and is here now to share his insights. all right dr roberts of getting a little crazy here in washington i would imagine that you're pretty happy to be out of the scene but i can only imagine you've got something to say about this who

is to blame for us being in the position where we are where you can say both parties are good the republicans started this so i so they had to play. normally raising the debt ceiling i mean this is routine i mean they've done it scores of times and there's seldom serves as anything but a chance for some of the members of congress to grandstand and complain about the debt and the grins on our grandchildren. very seldom does it come to a situation like this in mind and you know i could be wrong. and the republicans are using the opportunity. of the large deficit which is of course historically large to use the debt ceiling. limit. as a as a way of attacking the social safety net. the republicans think that

the social safety net. is it's not nearly very expensive economically but they think it's marly expensive that it corrupts people and turns them into leeches who live on the productive work and live off society and so they see it and far as americans say i want to mention dr roberts we got a clock up. under you it's basically the countdown to the how many hours we have left intel we sort of reached this limit has not got much time when you think about it and i want to play for you and bits and pieces of what people are saying will happen if an agreement is not reached take a listen. i don't think it would the us as being the largest economy in the world stage it would certainly put eyes the stability but not just the stability of the u.s. economy which implies the stability of charge watching these two put aside the toxic

environment find ways to get that done they ought to do it through spending cuts but the bottom line is they've got to get this done for the greatest country in the world to be on the brink of not paying its bills is embarrassing because severe disruptions in financial markets and a payment system induced rating downgrade of u.s. government debt create fundamental doubts about the credit worthiness of the united states and the image the special role of the dollar and of treasury securities in global markets in the longer term either this is not just democrats or republicans or or even americans for that matter what do you think if that is that the entire world is watching and pretty much agrees on how this must and just not how to get there. well i don't know it's just political theater it's all there is which is political theater. if indeed. there's no extension or no increase in the debt limit. then the effect will

be even worse than anything anyone else has said what the effect will be because the present united states is simply not going to sit there while american power collapses while the dollar collapses he will simply use the. national security directive or the exactly order that president bush already has in place and he will declare a national emergency and he will set aside the debt limit and continue to issue debt in the federal reserve will continue to buy it and there won't be any change other than the power of the purse will leave the hands of congress and reside in the executive branch just has the power to declare war well so congress said that that is off the table but you're right it can certainly be brought back i

want to talk about something else though we have been hearing figures like two point four trillion like four trillion dollars in terms of how much needs to be cut or either raise but here's something interesting one colleague of a boston university professor wrote in bloomberg that to get our overall fiscal gap under control the u.s. must cut spending or raise tax revenue by twenty trillion dollars over the next decade that is far more than the president or the house republicans have sought here what do you think about that that that we're not even scratching the surface even if we get the vote. i doubt that it would be one would have to look at what his assumptions were and what the growth rates and all the rest. but i think all of this is just part of the political fear. i think a lot of people would agree with you just real briefly when we talk about the economy i know it's not just defaulting it's not just the debt one thing that we

use as a measuring stick here is the unemployment rate. but i want it so you something though the unemployment rate for young people in this country that's sixteen twenty four year old is nineteen percent and in spain that number is forty four percent what do you think that this should tell us you know that young people in both in this country and certainly in many countries in europe are really hurting right now . well i think it raises the prospect of revolt and revolution. and we're seeing it from ari. well there in the streets in spain increase in any time the economic policy the country is operating in order to benefit the rich for advisors and at the expense of the domestic population and you can generate political instability and social instability and you can generate revoked and the question is you know how long can people accept having

no economic life and i think things could come to a head in greece and in spain. we'll see maybe even all come to a head here i'm firstly we're out of time i thank so much for joining us columnist and former reagan administration official paul craig roberts. and as we were just talking about people in spain have a reason to be angry so many people there have no jobs so many young people especially and they have little hope of finding jobs so they have taken to the streets protesters there have been up from sunup to sundown many of them marching outside of the prime minister's house still others walking across the entire country to bring attention to those frustrations and it's not just spain or other european countries in israel this week the protest is about housing prices and add its height there were twenty thousand people marching on the streets of tel aviv according to police estimates a two there took to their leaders house stood outside of benjamin netanyahu is

house shouting their frustrations at him mostly about affordable housing but also for a more equal distribution of resources and in san diego california one hundred thousand people gathered i think were not protesting the foreclosure rate or the unemployment rate they were getting together to celebrate comic books and other things associated with the movie and video game and comic book world with so many threats to america who better to save the day than your favorite superhero i guess that was the spirit at comic-con international comic book convention in southern california where people show up dressed as their favorite make believe characters but while thousands play dress up there are some very graphic and paid painful problems lurking just steps away from the convention parties are among the indo shows as the disconnect between the comic book fans and the real world. both bombs explode and thousands of american troops continue to fight in the

country's longest war another battle that's happening here at home. but it's the harsh realities of life. these days you'll never see this many people protesting the wars yet more than one hundred thousand people attended comic con the world's largest comic book convention this is a costume party on steroids where the world worries go out the window people in power i wish i had was teleportation and who wouldn't want to be in themselves up from the harsh realities of today's america are just scared of. this life is a joke in itself let's get a sweet release going. however life is no joke for a large segment of the u.s. population like these people living on the sidewalks just

a few blocks from the convention where in sunny san diego california a city known for its beaches and summer attractions it's also an area which is dealing with double digit unemployment and a growing homeless population but instead of focusing on these tough realities of life thousands of people from all over the world have the center on this city this weekend in order to escape reality i have are trying to do an hour every day to read it. through a different world. that i probably go crazy any theories over the economy anything like that your economy is interesting you know. that land and i come from certainly has a stronger economy despite the distraction that goes with comic-con simcox in crusaders to have concerns over where our country is headed some of us think that maybe the apocalypse is coming out because they think i think i'm not afraid of anything while thousands of people celebrate comic-con with no fear millions of americans

are truly fearful about losing their jobs homes or benefits during this great recession this convention is a place where people can be themselves by acting like someone else just have fun blow steam releases. first that the earth will be in texas and while those americans fret about politicians in a billet brother deal. in the us debt default easy to come here and take the weekend off and just relax in time so it's not to do any of us do. rather than address the captain america america may indeed be the superhero. ramon villain though archie all right so as we said hundred thousand people fans flocked to comic-con but what about the energy that they're putting their couldn't that energy be put to better use say fighting in the real world to save the u.s.

economy well joining me now from our studio in new york is costume enthusiastic victoria schmidt you can find her on her facebook page scruffy rebel cosplay and their victoria thanks so much for joining us i know we're going to be showing pictures from your facebook page and you attended comic-con i know i've i've been there to cover it in years past an interesting place but something that struck me when i was there is how many people saved up all their money just to go to comic-con why do you think that this is such a huge attraction. so many people have such a love for just the creative arts and you know the comic books and all the movies and anime and cartoons they touch a lot of us in such a way that you know that that's what we want to put all of our energy and time and money out of people or put it in the golf scene or you know play in sports that's where we put our money in our interest and why some people would do whatever they can or you know spend what savings they maybe had for the year to go to comic-con

what is your reaction i know that there's a lot of people certainly when i was living in san diego who say you know the nerds have descended upon our town this is this is geek fast twenty eleven what do you have to say to those people. it is the stuff but as far as i know i think it's a comic i left san diego the economic. stability in san diego might be in trouble because we all bring a massive amount of income to them every summer every year and they've been doing it for over thirty years so i think you know hollywood could say a thing or two about how much actually money although the nerds and geeks bring. to the arts and entertainment industries because without there's not going to be a lot of money i mean when they put out a comic book movie we come running to give them more money so we go see it i i know that the hotels and fan here i mean this is by far the largest convention and you go to hotels get booked tickets are i think seventy five dollars it gets sold out

every single year how much money did you spend all part range on just one comic on . well it's because actually has been a big deal this year because they raised their prices it's now actually one hundred seventy five dollars to go to all four days and preview night or one hundred fifty dollars and don't go to preview night preview actually used to always be included before that kind of really threw people off and have them evaluating whether they can afford to go home next year and in future years but i luckily i got my copies i been my comic-con with a friend got used to hotels hotels can be you know roughly six hundred dollars you're talking at least what used to be one hundred dollars ticket for thirty seven hundred dollars right there if you flew in lyon i know some friends did from other states but you're talking another two or three hundred dollars and not to mention like all the food you're going to have there so you could wind up spending like a grand without realizing that i think that's

a really good point and we're in some really tough economic times i mean i know that right outside the convention center as we just saw and the story that we just showed homeless people galore really really terrible rate of homelessness there and yet people as you say they're spending i fouls and dollars why do you think they're not spending this money maybe even half the money coming to washington to protest the economy or choosing an issue that's going to make a difference for the world we're giving it to a charity why are they spending it on comic con. well i don't know if we can assume that they aren't doing that i mean this is one weekend we're all spending one year i mean some people go to other conventions but some people it might be the only convention they go to without the say that's not saying that they're not spending their money towards charities or towards the homeless or doing things on their other weekends helping people i know i actually. part of the cost in community called revolution and bible first and we go and visit children in hospitals on our

spare weekends and we attend fundraising events for children's hospitals and diseases and causes and all that not what we do on our spare time and counted on is just one time just for ourselves but i understand what you mean i mean even yesterday i was going out to dinner on the last comment on and we were going through the little italy and there were homeless people everywhere as we were walking from our part of the restaurant and you know threw me back into reality that i mean wow this city has all this going on just a few blocks away certainly comment on three homeless people kamaka not so much reality that i know for sure but he's back to reality and again if you know we're still contributing to the economy i don't know if it's fair to say that the you know just because we're having fun doing something that artistic and maybe a little unusual to the rest of population that it's not contributing to the economy that obviously we're contributing the local economies and yeah go when all right thank you so much and fortunately we're out of time restaurant costume

enthusiasts are costly hobbyist victorious mints. well also today president obama is welcoming the san francisco giants to the white house the giants are last year's winning team of the world series and you know it's often standard for u.s. presidents to meet with and congratulate professional winning teams scratch that to meet with and congratulate winnings men's professional teams so what's the deal why not equal time for the ladies i suppose for starters there are no major league women's baseball teams but there are quite a few women sports teams who not only don't get invites to the white house they barely get coverage on t.v. don't sell as many tickets for their games and certainly don't make nearly as much money as their male counterparts this is an issue that is perplexing to many and i want to talk to amanda marcotte me about it she's a blogger for pentagon dot net. hey there amanda what's the deal here why do you think in two thousand and eleven more more women or just as many women are working

it seems why is are things not equal in sports well i would say it's kind of two reasons i think part of it is that we still have a lot of ingrained sexism in our culture and a kind of knee jerk tendency to think that women simply can't be as good as any sport no matter what sport it is what kind of skills it requires but i also think it's also a circle thing which is that when sports have been around longer they've been invested in longer they have built up a brand and a reputation women sports are lagging decades behind and i think it's that something that we can't fix overnight you know it's really interesting and i interviewed someone a little earlier who calls himself james preacher and he has a very interesting take on why things are not equal he says they should not be equal i want to play a little bit about what he had to say and i'll get your response. my viewpoint is that the women should not be more involved in the sports whatsoever or able to suit your position for a woman reporting t.j.

just for us to do was to be a keeper at home so here are husband whose children are right so james preacher there is quoting the bible as a reason that women not only should be equal in sports they shouldn't be playing sports what do you think about that. well i mean obviously that's ridiculous you know we don't generally allow the bible to tell us of what we're going to do with our gender roles in the modern society anyway women are allowed to speak in church they're allowed to take leadership roles they're allowed to teach they're allowed to hold jobs they're allowed to use birth control certainly they can play sports and in fact i would say that sports is good for women it's not only good for young women who have lower teenage pregnancy rates and higher graduation rates when they participate in sports but i think that women should look at athletics is in as a life time thing that's good for their health good for their bodies good for the competitive spirit but why demand as our society not embrace this view i mean why

why is it not equal yet here here we are in twenty levon. and well i think it's because words have always been framed as sort of a male thing and i think that part of that has a lot to do with competition one of the fun things of for me of watching the world cup is watching women just get in there and aggressively go after it just like a man was and i think a lot more americans are getting behind that but we still have a lot of people that want women to always play nice and not try to just win with everything they've got and i think that that influences people's approach to women's sports do you think things will change. yes i think that we saw a tremendous outpouring of enthusiasm for the women's team the u.s. women's team even though they got second place and even though they kind of lost that game that's a that's great i think sometimes that enthusiasm fades after a world cup but each world cup we do better we do well.
