surveillance state what do you. ask about how do you get past that because you're right it's not a conservative think it's not a liberal thing this is unfortunately the status status quo at the moment and you know you put in new regulations ok lawmakers can't go to dinner with a lobbyist they can stand and eat you know high table i mean this is i have to essentially collapse in order for it to be somehow changed ok we can change it with hopefully one blow and that is a constitutional amendment saying that corporations are not human beings they cannot donate to politicians they can i get involved in politics because we've always had rich people in this country influence trying to influence our elections we get that and we've been able to fight that off and there are rich people who are on the right side of history and on the wrong side of history but when you involve the power of multinational corporations buying our politicians we cannot stand up to the dock all the way that we can fight that influence and that includes the defense contractors by the way it's a pass an amendment say they cannot be involved in the political process if we pass

that amendment then we can clean up all of our politics the way you do that is that you do not go to washington and washington is infested the virus has taken over the body of washington you go to and do a cost to tional convention which only requires the states that participate and then an amendment can be passed if three quarters of the states ratify it after it comes out of the convention so you do what we did in wisconsin which is you take it to the people you take it to the streets of state by state and you flight and you can win on the state level where you don't even involve washington so we get rid of the problem its entirety and we do it old fashioned way by taking the american people it can be done it is possible and we will do it. words from genk ugur radio host for the young turks of course you can watch my full interview with the young turks himself on our you tube channel but youtube dot com backslash r t america. well nearly twenty years after he first entered death row anthony troy davis is set to be execute. by the state of georgia and the african-american was convicted of

killing a white police officer back in one thousand nine hundred nine but since his original trial seven seven of the nine original witnesses have recanted their testimony and mind you no physical evidence ever linked the man to the murder and the case has garnered worldwide attention with activists warning that an innocent man may lose his life one of those voices of course is filmmaker john marlow she joined me earlier today and here's how she describes the importance of troy davis case. well i think one of the reasons troy davis' case has gotten the attention that it has is because in in many ways his case is emblematic of all that is problematic with the u.s. best death penalty system much of what you just said in your introduction the fact that that the state can be. scheduling in preparing to put a man to death for whom the case against him has entirely unraveled troy's case i think highlights so much of what is flawed in our justice system especially when

there are claims of innocence that there really is not an adequate way for those claims to be heard and that a case like tori's can go through the court system kill after appeal court after court and what's reviewed is that those courts are not able to focus on the larger issues of in a sense or whether this conviction was reliable or instead they're focused on on the perceived your own issues or the technicalities and so. so someone like troy davis can march steadily towards death row and towards an execution even though there is no solid case against him and he has a very strong and since claim now this is of course one man but as you've mentioned it is sort of emblematic of a bigger issues in our justice system but we're also not really seeing this covered in the mainstream press or really addressed by not that many of our politicians at least why do you think that is why is this so the capital punishment issue not something that we've seen to really get into it in terms of

a national debate on primetime you know main main discussion what i think and i hope that that is slowly beginning to change and for folks who are watching the. republican candidate debate last night i can say that there's segments of our country that have great support for capital punishment when it was announced how many people rick perry had actually in texas there was you know cheers i want to i want to play that sound bite for you i think we have a clip there. i want to parry a question about texas your state has executed two hundred thirty four death row inmates more than any other governor in modern times have you. struggled to sleep at night. with the idea that any one of those might have been innocent you know sir i never struggled with that at all if you come into our state and you kill one of our children and kill a police officer you're involved with another crime and you kill one of our

citizens. you will face the ultimate justice in the state of texas and that is you will be executed what do you make of. we're cheering about that but i think you know much as we're hearing those cheers there is a very strong and growing stronger movement of people who are working against the death penalty and her working to abolish it and in fact there's been a lot of really amazing successes there are now sixteen states in the u.s. that have abolished death penalty the most recent was in illinois and they abolished that penalty just a few months ago in march and that came out of long hard organizing and work of different people activists people building coalitions and those activists include people who have been wrongly convicted and were exonerated from death row they include people who had family members on death row they include family members of murder victims who are calling out and saying you know this is not the kind of

justice we are looking for and yet we still have i mean we're the only met western nation that has not abolished the death penalty and we see in some states i know on this show we've done a lot of segments about this where they're using execution drugs. or drugs for animals and humans right well yeah and there's so there's still whole lot of work to be done and it's absolutely true that in the global community the u.s. is becoming more and more isolated by the fact that when you. two thirds of the world has abolished the death penalty the us is absolutely progressively isolated in in the policy to still execute prisoners and what you were saying and choice case actually was very much i got caught up in this it was in the state of georgia that that sodium pentothal which was one of the three the drug cocktail that had been used in most lethal injections in the country georgia stock of the zero crimes i actually got confiscated by the federal government when it was discovered that

they had acquired it illegally from a machine the fly by night british pharmaceutical company that operated out of the back of a london driving school and then other states supplies and. were also asked to be given up in that state scrambling for a replacement and what they chose was. which as you just stated is what's used to execute euthanize animals and now execute humans it seems embarrassing it in one word is there still hope for troy davis there is still hope actually and their hope is is pretty significant because yes the state of georgia has announced an execution date is planned for the state of georgia does not have to execute troy davis and it should not execute troy and there is a body as the georgia board of pardons and parole and they can do the right hand of human rights activist john marlowe and of course that is it for now here in our to america but the news does not end with this broadcast on more stories and details

on our website at r.t. dot com if you want to weigh in on any of the stories you saw this evening don't be shy just follow me on twitter also sick often of it's it for me but the big picture with tom hartman.

more news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of chatter that. giant corporations are all today . max keiser this is the kaiser report let's talk about market schizophrenia that's right and market collateralized schizophrenia obligation baum's are they in the offing stacy herbert talk to me talk to me yes it's austerity measures one day it's the realist measures of the next i.m.f. global economy faces a threatening downward spiral this is christine lagarde the new i.m.f.

chief and she says europe needs to take its foot off the fiscal brake and shift to growth intensive measures and told the danger has passed insisting that germany has leeway to stimulate demand. saying no austerity measures are bad for the west it is well this isn't that the i.m.f. just recommended for greece austerity measures that's correct i'm not sure she includes them in the west well but the prescription that they are members offering is it's a frantic they should just offer schizophrenia backbones let's look those on some global exchange that's pays off on how schizophrenia the i.m.f. can be bets right well it is also this story this ongoing story between savers versus speculators and as the article points out her comments are certain to cause fury in berlin where the ira is viewed as an agent of keane's ians and french mischief mrs lugard was french finance minister until two months ago well you know

germany is sitting on a pot load of money and all these other countries want in on it and of course the germans are savers the french are profit spenders and they want germany's money as do all the other countries but germany is the same. her don't take germany's money well remember it's all out war max and in fact that's in my next headline all out war bankers versus everybody else so we know christine legarde is now an agent for these bankers of course and i seem tell it as pointing out that for the american economy and for many other developed countries including all of europe the elephant in the room is the amount of money paid to bankers over the last five years in the united states the sum stands out an astounding two point two trillion dollars and i just saw a story the c.e.o.'s of all companies in america and bankers are lobbying

washington to pass a new law that would make it so that they would not have to disclose their pay and bonuses to anybody no regulatory authority of the f.c.c. just keep all that information private how they're raping and pillaging not just their bonuses they're actually their income and this was in the washington post where they were talking about break away well and they're saying that this is just the wealthy at the top point one percent and ninety nine percent of americans think they're part of that but it's really only point one percent but they're becoming wealthier by taking the wealth from the rest of the population as not them to lead point out over the next ten years you're going to see at this same rate if you extrapolate this rate of wealth at the bankers are taking it's going to be another five trillion dollars over the next decade that five trillion dollars is not money invested in building roads schools and other long term truck projects but is directly transferred from the american economy to the personal accounts of bank

executives and employees i think you should really take the other approach that when the c.e.o.'s and bankers are caught raping and pillaging stealing money as they're doing they should have to go door to door in the neighborhoods that they live and tell their neighbors that they are serial financial terrorist offenders this is a serial financial service. a sober law but of course the way to fight this financial war is in that image become printing the story and that's max keiser silver bullets crash j.p. morgan buy silver and with it along with these precious metals that takes a citizen next headline in this financial war this ongoing financial war china knows that the u.s. government and its allies in western europe strive to suppress the price of gold and the u.s. government knows that china knows according to a two thousand and nine cable from the u.s. embassy in beijing to the state department in washington so this was one of these wiki leaks cables that were just recently released and in it the us ambassador is

stating that listening to the radio report from the radio which quoted china's national foreign exchange administration they know that the u.s. and europe of always suppress the rising price of gold they intend to weaken gold's function as an international reserve currency china's increased gold reserves will thus act as a model and lead other countries towards reserving more gold large gold reserves are also beneficial in promoting the internationalization of the room in an america tim geitner is always pointing a stronger china saying euro currency manipulator course is referring to dollars and on the cea manson's china saying well you're a gold and silver price manipulator who's going to win the battle gold versus. well it also brings into question because this cable was written in april of two thousand and nine and you and i were at the buddhist bank in march of two thousand and seven and at that time we asked the german central bank whether or not how much

gold china had and they reckon china had more than they than germany did and germany has over three thousand tons of gold now officially china only claims to own a thousand tonnes but by this report you would it would suggest that in fact the bank was correct in saying at the time in two thousand and seven. china had more than three and a half thousand tons of gold well i'm going to repeat it because it's really the states you have an exclusive when we were at the bundesbank they told us officials after going to spank in berlin that they believe china had more gold than germany does which means that they would have more than three thousand tons not the stated amount of one thousand tons and that was three four years ago it was an employee it wasn't an official but it was somebody who said that they obviously have no idea but they suspect that they have more that china owns more than germany and of course they are the biggest gold miner in the world at this time and they are keeping all that to themselves so as this international financial and currency war

escalates here's another headline wall street prepares for war. yes that's an image of lloyd blankfein wearing camouflage and aiming a pistol this is referring to the financial housing finance agency the f h f a who has filed lawsuit against seven hundred banks including goldman sachs j.p. morgan society general credit suisse barclays and a few other banks but that's my question here is this just the propaganda war because it's only a civil suit it's not a criminal suit nobody will do any time for this they'll be a fine paid we already saw at the top of the show that in agent the armed wing of the international bankers the i.m.f. is basically threatening that the whole system is about to collapse if you force these banks to pay the two hundred billion dollars of fraudulent asset backed securities that they sold to fannie mae and freddie mac. well we know the goldman sachs response will be to threaten to crash the u.s. economy again using high frequency trading trading market manipulation best or best

what they do they exchange in a basically captive as part of their hostage taking of america and they threaten to collapse that if this investigation goes any further now what the f h a should do. is that they should gather bunch of hedge funds together some friendly had stronger trade a few songs of your own is easy enough to do and they should make it short so goldman sachs start down zero listen let's go to the next story because i'll tell you i'll prove to you that this is just a fraud max and f h f a is not having any intention of doing anything to harm goldman sachs because they are the same they are j.p. morgan sub prime mortgage bonds getting aaa rating s. and p. denies to u.s. treasuries so standard and poor's is giving a higher rating to securities backed by sub prime home loans the same type of investments that led to the worst financial crisis since the great depression then

it assigns the u.s. government now these aaa sub prime mortgage backed securities one of the participants of this is a i g which is owned by the same government that is now suing these other guys who are here that it's the same it's the same circle of of a psychopathic schizophrenia schizophrenia is a pretty bad part but as i write it's good for you because you can buy money exchange but as you're doing it make sure that you look at yourself in the mirror collateralized by your own image slice and dice and enter by the schizophrenia class and take a couple of kind of drugs like doing it and you yourself can become as rich as. something on trillions of dollars of theocracy which actually for the article here quotes gregory w. smith the general counsel for the forty one billion dollars public employees retirement association of colorado and he says everybody has been led to believe over the years that aaa means aaa means aaa across the board anybody they didn't

learn in the two thousand and eight crisis that doesn't apply should find another line of work but there you go again a small hazard because it's up to whoever the job bag you don't discount is running some pension fund for you you have to hope that they learn their lesson. because the crooks are not behind bars they are setting policy they have christine lagarde threatening countries around the world for them well the rating agencies use the ratings to stabilize the market to create volatility so that their friends don't make money trading things like the volatility index the vix if you have advance knowledge about what they're reading and she's going to do and they give out their advance dollars to their friends on the exchanges you can buy and sell the vix the v.i.x. the belts all the index and make money that way well ok so if you think this is all accidental again like that this is going to stop let's look back at another cable

viewing cable zero seven paris four one zero nine paulson discusses financial markets or ran with sarkozy so this perspective two thousand and seven hank paulson was here in paris meeting with nicolas sarkozy raised concerns about some prime related market turbulence paulson however underscored the importance of not overreacting he said it would take months not weeks for credit to be repriced but this was not a major crisis he went on to say anyway it's not a problem the only problem i see in europe for the banks is the german lender spankin but they presented little systemic risk and would be bailed out by the german taxpayer so hank paulson is speaking on behalf of the german government in terms of his plan to allow for the german banks to be bailed out by the german citizen speaking for the global elite this is always there in kenshin max and savers versus speculators he's he's negotiating to speculators rule and he knew from then a year and

a half before he pretended all i hated to have to do tarp well he was speaking to sarkozy a year before tarp saying oh don't worry it's not going to be a problem because the german taxpayer will bail out the german landis bank and let me ask you this one of germany decided to demand the gold held at the new york fed sixty percent of their goal is held in new york what if they did like the french in . we want all our gold sent back to germany it's forever gone no european nation no asian nation including china they have a lot of gold in the us they're not getting it back and then finally max one quick headline here before you turn to the second half israelis turn out for largest economic protest to remember back to talk about the break away wealth this is the same situation that is happening in israel because even though israel emerged from the global financial crisis relatively unscathed the economy is doing rapid growth and unemployment is at its lowest in decades at around five and a half percent so it all looks good on the surface right we've got our the

statistics show the ranks of the working poor have grown dramatically as wealth has increasingly become concentrated among a small group of tycoons well you've got to go now to. nomenclature from the arab spring to the arab israeli spring well yes there are actually a lot of the people the protesters are claiming alliance with the tahrir square of course and also this final image here max this is crash j.p. morgan by silver in hebrew. shalom all right eric thanks so much for being on the has report thank you very much more coming your way so stay right there. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then something else you hear see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you don't. charge

because of the. damage to your social cation your body so you called touch from the top story. like on the good. video on demand. an r.s.s. feed now in the palm of your. question on the faulty jobs call. the mission to the accreditation three to four charges the rate the return to the year three the old free volunteer to be zero for your media project the c.e.o.

down to our teeth on time. the in. the a. little the in. the morning. welcome back to the kaiser report imax guys are time now to go to germany and speak with economist share aver share welcome to the kaiser report i am actually going to take you right here israel has been head of protest over the summer was four hundred thousand protests last week and why is five percent of the population of israel protesting what are their demands well we have to ask ourselves why didn't have it why didn't it happen before because they actually israel is undergoing a deep social crisis for the past few decades and with very rapidly growing

inequality. a cared for air over t.v. and i'm scared for unemployment and we have been expanding and affecting every aspect of life and yet most people didn't really protest it until very recently and this way in protest there's something very new in israel quite unprecedented there's no. been such a large demonstration in israel's history and people have a lot of reason to present ok now is it possible that the arab spring the arab uprisings in egypt innocent around the arab world gave cover to this protest process of israel and if so doesn't this speak toward a greater middle east. a society getting rid of all these divisions have been plaguing the region for decades the first reaction in israeli society to the arab spring was was panic actually because the idea that a arab countries could be democratic and people can is that their own destiny was

something that that. intimidated a lot of israelis who were counting on u.s. support in crushing the other thing is the arab peoples and making sure that they operate within the framework of u.s. interests which also works very well for the israeli and middle east refugee but i think with the global excitement about the arab spring especially the revolution in egypt a lot of the israelis said well we also want to get some of that international excitement we also want the people in the world to be excited about what we're doing and i think one of the reasons for that is that there is now a an international with a campaign against israel against the apartheid that israeli society applied against that athenian in israel and israelis feel very isolated feeling that they're in pariahs in today's world and because of this global campaign and so by emulating the arab spring they're hoping maybe you can get some international support ok now you mentioned of course the let's start with the u.s.

and the enormous support the u.s. gives israel area for decades and the thomas favors the american press who are covering this that all the uprising in israel they're finding it difficult to talk about the demands. the protesters because of demand of the protesters are things like greater distribution of wealth and greater equality and income distribution and these of course are ideas that america equates with socialism and communism and. so. the there's a cute enormous disconnect here because america aid israel billions of dollars every single year and yet the people of israel adults seem to want to emulate what's happening in america at all i would say the majority of the protesters are talking about raising taxes they want higher taxes so that there will be sufficient income and to. implement social programs and policies that they're asking for which

is the complete opposite of of the main discourse in the us that fact that they're considered the root of all evil and any call for raising taxes is immediately equated the communism and i completely agree with that but we have to remember that this is rooted in israeli history because israel used to be unlike the u.s. it corporative society where which had a very strong welfare state and a very strong system of union and that worked for jewish citizens only through citizens and for and the lead of society with collaboration with the government and with the is a major employers and to create a kind of society where there were very strong social policies but only for jews and maybe for jews who originally from european countries and this is a memory that appeals to a lot of young israelis in today's neoliberal economy find that they can no longer count on the government to help them and in finding an apartment they can no longer

be sure that their wages will be enough to sustain their standard of living they get very worried and now they're saying let's go back to what we had with the world for states and twenty thirty years ago forty years ago and not all right of the people of israel are for peace and justice they're out there. a huge percentage of the population five percent of the population is in the square in the streets protesting for peace and justice for the government of israel of courses attracting huge aid from america by playing a violence card by playing the terrorism card by committing acts of terror in palestine and around the region now let me ask you a question that when you see a u.s. politician like sarah palin wearing a star of david she's not identifying with the people of israel is or isn't she she's she said then i'm fine with the government of israel who is basically what she's saying is she's for a senseless.
