it's thursday september first four pm in washington d.c. and christine for example and you're watching our team starting off today a story of an attack on something so merican you can almost put it into the same category as baseball and apple pie i'm talking about rock n roll and more specifically one of the most well known instruments that has helped create and kid rock n roll live not to mention jazz and country music as well for decades talking about the gibson guitar well apparently federal agents in this country are taking issue with the one hundred year old company. take a look last week the gibson guitar factories in memphis and nashville tennessee were raided some of the workers there told they could even face prison time it was the second rate at the gibson factories in as many years this time agents

confiscated would imported from india that was apparently in violation of indian export law let me say that again the u.s. government issued warrants based on its interpretation of another country's laws now there is a one this country called the lacie act it requires companies to make detailed disclosures about wood imports and bars the purchase of goods export in violation of a foreign country's laws there so a lot of questions about whether or not gibson violated that law at all but you know what let's get to the bigger picture here and look at whether or not raids like this are part of a larger trend in this country i know one man who says absolutely that's radio host alex jones he's in austin texas another music capital in this country and alex i know that i you compared what happened here to a guest stop post i'll attack on u.s. industry and one that is not at all an isolated incident so why don't you elaborate for me. well it's not an isolated incident so that's why for decades we've had tax

incentives to move out of the country that's why the president others want to put carbon taxes on u.s. industry but it won't be on chinese indian mexican or one hundred plus other third world countries also this was a non union shop and the c.e.o. of interviewed several times now mr jessica which is a republican donor and so this was clearly politically targeted just like general electric's that's the head of the president's economic council their coal power plants are exempt from the new carbon rules but all the other companies aren't or of you're on the inside of the government and you're exempt from having to buy health care for your employees and everybody else has to get it's was about unfair trade advantages and now i just talked to the c.e.o. again today and i just heard it on my own radio show and they now have gotten the

documentary about to put it out today or tomorrow this is big news breaking here on television that in federal court the feds have told him leave the united states go to madagascar are we don't want industry here and we've heard about a post-industrial america this is about shutting down all companies that are not globalist fortune one hundred one alex who i mean what would the benefit be for this president for this in ministration for lawmakers to encourage companies to make it the jobs go elsewhere i mean clearly this is the number one thing every single lawmaker here in washington says is at the top of their agenda creating jobs i know that that gibson has actually created more jobs in the last few years instead of cutting them. so what would be the benefit for president obama for any of these people who are blaming in this incident something jobs elsewhere. well john d. rockefeller the founder of the dynasty. who is

a big robber barron and openly for consolidating power how to monopolies he said competition is a sin and gibson has now become the leader in american make atar sixty percent of their sales are overseas they were exploding and annihilating the market share of two big democratic party donors and so it shows that more than ever the white house is basically passing out favors here's an example that came on the news two years ago and again on non partisan republicans. do things like this when they're in power as well but remember when the government took over general motors and then openly announced we don't care if you have an eighty five year. franchise of general motors if you're not a donor to us we're taking your franchise away and giving it to someone else the cylinder car dealership you just can't sell chevy that k. now so big mega business in all of history has always been about coming in and

saying we're we're going to let you operate but you can't operate this is pure fascism corporate fascism and you can argue with the fact that they've had two raids and wouldn't tell them what was what this whole thing was about and now they admit oh you worked the wood from india even though india says it's legal and the lid is not endangered you did that the manufacturing the value added here in the u.s. so we say that's the legal even though india says that's not what their law says so this is all about global governance global corporate in forstmann of rules selectively enforced to shut down insiders competition this is what the oligarchy didn't russia fifteen twenty years ago this is what the british did that started the war two hundred thirty five years ago in the u.s. seven hundred seventy six this is the same system over and over again were insiders use government control to shut down the competition it is as old as humanity and

civilization itself it's really interesting i mean it seems to me alex that you're asserting that this was you know kind of an inside political job giving favors to friends and why not i haven't seen any concrete evidence for this but regardless of that i want to make this a little bigger i mean when i saw this story it sort of reminded me we've been doing a lot of stories and i think you have to on some of these you know lemonade stands run by kids they're being you know taken down by police or some of these other things people in california who want to sell that's tagore's on their front lawn are the honest people who want to sell their new. abers raw milk i mean this is a larger trend talk a little bit about the county sure sure and i mean look it's a fact that general electric's exempt from the regulations they wrote had obama put in so i mean that's what we know what's happening here with gibson they say they told him i don't sublethal get out of america ok everything they've done tax incentives to move to china has been in the industrialized and now it's been going

on for years swat keening amish arresting people live in a stance going after people growing gardens you know ninety three days in jail they face a arresting people and charging them with life in prison in illinois for videotaping police in public the bureaucracy knows that the foreign banks have conquered the u.s. they've been loaded the economy by fits on they know that the people who are on the edge of revolution so they're trying to break our will dominate is an exercise of power over us to get us just to accept tyranny it's really happening it's happened in every other culture why does anybody think it can happen in america and it's flora's obama goes he's a teleprompter reading up it it's the military industrial complex owned by big mega banks that is trying to break the will of the american people and the rest of the world for that matter and yes regarding this specific case alex this gives and guitar case that's really interesting because from what i understand the wood that

was imported here it would have been fine if it would have been finished in india but it was it wasn't finished and it was this here by american workers so there's a lot of thing i as far as i know charges haven't been filed yet i know some people worried that this is just the government sort of bullying the company have you heard us. well they've threatened some of them with jail time they've polled employees according to c.e.o. in it and basically threaten them to make stuff up or bill go to jail they're going after janitors they're going after people that actually carve the wood and yes they're now finally after three years of investigation the first right i'm you know ninety two and a half years ago you're not telling it it's that you work good they have all the paperwork and the indian government has said no you know we did take. they were value added our law says they've got to be value added not finished but the way our government interfering is they got us in the hole guitar part totally carved

a spec and american workers can't touch it since lehman signed it doesn't have these restrictions on their people and again everything is about assaulting look they're going out to people that have group og sales now and trying to arrest them and i have clients lives. because we're running out of time i want to get in a question about another case here one that may have similar implications this is a man in illinois forty two year old michael allison who's facing seventy five years behind bars i think we have some video of him from what i understand the crime that he committed is recording police officers this is a crime illegal in a dozen states including illinois where he's from recording audio of law enforcement without their consent now he faces the same punishment as a rapist as murderers alex what is going on here what is the bigger picture invests . ok well it's just like the government says it's the law you got to take vaccines there is no law just because they can get a jury to convict somebody doesn't mean that the statute was applicable and the

first circuit court of the us before the supreme court ruled yesterday that all of this is illegal but you're right in twelve states they're arresting people who filmed police on the street city council some people have gotten five to twelve years in prison are serving terms because the police get upset it's the legal the jurors believe that. eavesdropping or wiretapping is when it's secret and the other person doesn't know but when you're in public there's no perception of privacy that's why police officer can have a squad car camera or why when you go in a store they can have cameras because you know it's a public area so it's a giant hoax that it is illegal and it really is the scariest thing i've seen a long time but the police would knowingly try to put this guy in prison for life or simply video taping him in it is incredible and yes they are trying to flee

claiming the audio out the video is the large tapping but wiretapping is coming up to the side of your house and put a recorder on the wire it's not building police and public it really really interesting implications a lot of critics of these laws saying you know the police might be out there to serve and protect but there are so many examples of them doing some pretty harsh things there who's going to watch them just a lot of interesting stuff here radio host alex jones in austin texas and we do have an interview scheduled also with the gibson guitars and you can watch that right here on our t.v. at seven pm thanks fred. we're going on now to u.s. involvement of a different kind this in libya and what will happen next there there's a meeting going on in paris it's called the friends of libya conference leaders from sixty countries are there to discuss libya's national transitional council and life after khadafi argues the e.u. correspondent daniel bushell is in brussels and has more on what's shaping up in terms of this planning for the future. hey there daniel i know that this was

a long and costly military and intervention for nato what are you gathering this transition of power will look like based on this conference. but from tripoli. there's no police on the streets the hospitals and schools aren't working the weapons stores of libya have been raided in the chaos one man has told me that every man now has a kalashnikov of the streets and they're being traded for pennies and even more worryingly the rebel leaders themselves don't seem to know who the voices are composed of as well as the reason is that you might expect them to see western arab nationalists the president of the new residents of libya was amazed to find that's a column of al qaeda fighters who joined his offensive tripoli and hillary clinton has just said that nato will continue to help militarily the libyans as long as

they need it which suggests that the problems have only just begun it's really interesting though i'm curious how nato is justifying what's happening now especially in light of the fact that you know as you say some crazy things are going on the streets in tripoli and originally nato said their stated goal was the protection of the civilian population but from what i understand the rebels are continuing to push through and storm areas that are still you know somewhat under the control of the supporters so shouldn't nato then still be protecting those who are in danger even if they now happen to be in places the rebels are attacking into how do they justify this. but with the justification at this meeting in paris they reiterated is that gadhafi is a threat to his own people it's not quite clear who gave the roots of the judge and jury. or whether gadhafi should be hunted down with they have the right to hunt down and kill gadhafi certainly not the original international man giving them or

giving them permission to intervene in the country now if the eastern parts of libya which is traditionally more and to get a feel supported need to involve but it's very much under dealt with the tribes the hundreds of troy across the west and self which are traditionally more proof gadhafi would be bombed in this way by nato that certainly on the question of the moment i want to go back to something you you spoke about just a moment ago about al qaeda being involved in the rebel movement how do you you know the u.s. and other western leaders justify sort of being a friends of libya when they there's a lot of confusion about exactly who is in the national transitional council and who will be the future leadership i mean is that being discussed at all. well it is being discussed but then you would say the the loads of people on the nato is

getting worse i've been talking about afghanistan also iraq and libya and certainly the transition here seems to be seems to be more chaotic this seems to be little question about that the roots i mean the stability of the country has been totally blown out of the water and one diplomat says people used to see the united states as the home certainly if you speak to people on the streets now they're full of hatred and anger for the west so it raises the question have they created a hornet's nest for themselves because it certainly was no one was no one's favorite person across the world so the question is has has the transition created by this. creates an even worse enemy for the west i think that such an important point that you bring out a lot of people sort of trying to make some historical connections here i make some comparisons with other places i know it was about ten years ago after all that many nato countries were pretty excited about a new leader in power i'm talking about how many karzai in afghanistan i'm

wondering from what you're gathering there do you think as a result of things you know working out not quite the way people expected in afghanistan and that these friends of libya will be a little more reluctant to support and be excited about future leaders in libya. well look i was talking to woman's rights activist yesterday she said that tunisia courts of bullsh and rights twenty years before women here in the in the west women here in belgium where i'm speaking to you from so under the previous regime women for example are allowed to walk freely on the streets that's just one example they had abortion rights they had to divorce benefits as we call it here and in europe they got money from the government and now that libya is in chaos and the islamists and religious extremists have got a foothold into using libya as a base from which to spread their ideas across north africa and beyond there are fears that. it's that we're actually limited be under the previous regime and now

being the reason you're absolutely right i mean the comparisons you raise with i've got to start of course iraq is is often also quoted many people will say that the roi is that people enjoyed before on the under the previous regimes were perhaps even better than the ones they enjoy now in the chaos very very interesting i mean no matter what when you get people from the western world used to a very different kind of government involved in getting involved with that you know what has for thousands of years been tribal it's just hard to imagine that they can really understand and get a grasp on how to move forward daniel bushell r.t. correspondent joining us from brussels belgium thanks so much. well i want to talk now about an interesting way certain members of certain communities are working to get things done barbacoa says a small town in colombia where for two months the women there have been on strike but they're not forming picket lines or shouting slogans in the street nope these

women are hitting below the belt literally they are on a sex strike and what has come to be known as the crossed legs movement so one of these women want paved roads when they want him now caroline a writes for the daily caller and wrote an article about the crossed legs movement she joins me here in the studio to talk about this count tactic caroline thanks for coming in today from what i understand these women are saying you know we don't even want to bring children into a world we're you know we can't get good access to food or medical care from your reporting tell me a little more about this well since there's been so much bad weather not only are the roads not paved but they've been washed out even the road so what had taken four hours to get to medical treatment and food not taking ten hours so these women who have been fighting for about twenty years to get these roads have said enough you know we can't have children in vironment where it's not only. food prices are

going up because it's so difficult to get there but our children can't get medical help so it's a practical reason not to have. sex because they don't have children but it's also sort of a passive strike now and i'm just practical in terms of not getting pregnant and bringing more children in but from what i understand at least the people in charge of the people making decisions are the men and the men now might have a larger incentive. standing is this making the paved roads coming closer to actually the government has said that they will you paving the road but the women are still holding out the so that there will be start construction in october but the women are saying we're going to hold off until you know we're not going to give you any attention it's always imagined that i really have it happen now no one. well that happens i think that you know they're going to see men yeah really really interesting and i know you wrote specifically about an example of a twenty three year old woman who actually died give having childbirth you know she and her unborn baby died because there was no access to the ambulance just got

stuck in the mud that was on the way to help i mean i'm sure that's one of so many circumstances in this small village in colombia south america but i'm wondering i don't know how much you know historical research she did on this is this is a tactic that's been used before actually it's it has been used i mean parents often wrote about it it was a comic play called left the strada and in which the women wouldn't have sex with their husbands or boyfriends until the peloponnesian war was was ended but that was a that was a play it was fiction but i mean it's been going on actually recently in kenya belgium they've had strikes such as the but not to the effect that these women have had actually colombia's before we've seen it might you know a seven in two thousand and six they had similar strikes against violence and i know here in the u.s. it's an idea that sort of you know kind of becoming more popular i want to show you a clip of something regarding an issue that was pretty big just a few weeks ago and that is the defunding of planned parenthood take

a look at this. i'm not saying that people who oppose basic for women's health care can go themselves but as far as i'm concerned they won't have any other option john adams says you sexual partners support jainas it's not. alone. but something else i mean pretty interesting it's actually part of a longer and i think it's interesting i mean. to tell these women to tell women in america you know what does your sexual partner what does your man think about planned parenthood and whether or not to defund it what do you think about this tactic well i think it probably gets results but i mean as we saw planned parenthood continued to be funded so i guess it worked in some respects but i don't know i mean the issue is it cast men as sort of forty brutes you know what i mean and i mean it might get attention when they're saying about a false impression well it depends on who you are and what you think but i mean i

mean i guess in some respects it depends on the man ok well it's certainly an interesting tactic and we do appreciate you sharing your research because it was an interesting article i was surprised to read about this tactic and hopefully especially for those women and those men in the village too i mean yeah hopefully something gets done definitely all right carolyn a reporter for the daily caller. so what else could spawn the next cross-legged movement and is it just women who have the power or could men do so as well these are questions laurie harshness of the resident asked of people in new york city people from around the world and here's what she found out. in the strike of crossed legs colombian women with help back to get a road paved what is she would you withhold sex for this week let's talk about that right now the economy we need to do. so. that will get better gas.

that also. i don't know though up close and i think it's. still. maybe for world peace. and hunger or something like that but. it was the ending. it were ending hunger around the world that you could unite yeah that would be good nothing nothing i don't think so. what about if it ended war. and imagine. i'm sorry the deficit. in congress. so if american women that's having fact do you think it would change things here we would solve the deficit crisis very quickly what was going to do it was going to do and the only way to get their man motivated i can understand it or get me on the show pretty quickly is there any thing that you would withhold that for you kidding no.

there's not a problem going to the world that would have me withhold sex i think it's an effective tactic. it certainly works there yes good for them do you think it would work anywhere in the world yes i think men and women interact the same way everywhere do you think it would work if men without facts to get something done know. no i don't think we have the same leverage i mean if it were a cure i think little crazy but i mean hey you gotta do what you gotta do it no crazier than going to war and human people to get things done that is very true whether or not you agree with these women tactic the bottom line is it got the job done with no byline needed. i want to talk now about a program the obama administration has decided to move full speed ahead with its own to secure communities program and basically requires local police departments

to run background checks on every person were booked into police custody whether or not they are charged if they are illegal they will face deportation this is not just robbers and rapists this is even people who call police for help are just killing for it has the story of one woman who could soon represent a large portion of the population. one of the yes i mean. she's an unlikely hero. a working mother in undocumented immigrant. thank you thank you for your courage to stand up to us immigrations and customs enforcement has made her the face of the movement. and shed light on president obama's inconsistent with gratian. was hearing for her safety during a fight with her husband. called the police. only to be arrested later for allegedly selling a ten dollars phone call charges that were then dropped when she asked if she could

go home to nurse her infant daughter one of them this is the third time yes you can and then a police officer stopped him and said no you can't go home we have a deportation order and we're going to deport you back to your country moreas case isn't unique it's part of a program called secure communities already in forty two states the obama administration has mandated that the program be taken nationwide by twenty thirteen eliminating faith ability to opt out federal statistics show that twenty eight percent of immigrants deported under secure communities have no prior criminal conviction thirty percent had minor offenses like traffic violations ripping apart families the very people that barack obama promised to legalize. being deported under a program he says is for serious criminals leading critics to accuse obama of making your teachings more palatable by criminalizing undocumented immigrants. responding to immigrants rights groups obama agreed to review three hundred thousand pending to partition of quote low priority immigrants including

undocumented students like gaby pacheco who was frustrated the president has totally failed the immigrant rights movement mainly he has filled this community of young people that stood by him. when now you know to register people to vote to ask people to go out and vote for them obama has supported one point four million immigrants so far a record that contrasts sharply with obama's campaign promises of comprehensive immigration reform the third vice president of the. local sherry says it's still possible he is president has executive authority that could change things now why isn't he doing it's because quite frankly obama and his people are afraid of antagonizing white swing voters who are going to be very important in his reelection but immigration reform activists say the latino vote for him in swing states like florida and arizona isn't

a guarantee for obama in two thousand and twelve and if he really wants to ask for the latino bored af as for the immigrant vote for the twenty tall he's going to have to deliver something and until then maria says she wakes up every morning wondering if this will be the day she is sent home they will me i have my daughter who was born here will have to go back to a country that she doesn't know she will lose many opportunities that she could have here that she won't have there but i can't leave her she's my treasure kalen ford artsy washington d.c. . i'm sure to join us right back here in thirty minutes for much more on a story. that will no doubt have an impact on the twenty twelve elections on the speaking with community organizer ron go chaz from our l.a. studios about obama's the summer of hits a frantic immigration policy and that's going to do it for now for more on the stories we covered go to our t. dot com slash usa quartet.
