greece turned violent paralyzing the country for the second day of his biggest general strike in years the parliament student votes on more punitive cuts to services recalled. well with the occupy wall street movement showing no signs of abating r.t. talks next to author and blogger james comes through says the president of power is a hostage to big business that interview coming right up. how she's sitting down with author blogger and public speaker james howard kunstler so thanks so much for joining us it's nice to be here let's get started with the occupy wall street movement we've seen many media outlets try to ridicule them marginalize this movement as something that's temporary and really just teenage behavior i was actually called this bogus in your blog let's talk about that what is your take on occupy wall street well first of all it's hilarious that all of

these scolds in the media are shaking their fingers at these young people and saying oh you don't you can articulate your position you have any agenda we're living in a time in the united states when the consensus about reality is so fractured even among people who are supposed to know what's going on that we cannot construct a coherent story about what's happening to us and what we're going to do about it so to expect the young people to be able to construct a coherent narrative when nobody else in the culture is capable of doing that i think there's a little unfair. what's more you can tell just from the placards that they're carrying around we know where their heads are at the the most significant or telling one that i saw said. i have seventy thousand dollars college debt twelve thousand dollars in medical bills i'm twenty

two where's my bailout that's a good enough reason to be out there right i think so and i think what it represents is very clear it's the idea that this younger generation feels like their future has been sold out from under them but with major unions joining we've seen a much more kind of mature knowledgeable group of people come out onto the streets thousands of people do you think that's reason enough for the media and politicians to really start taking this seriously i don't know if we're capable of really interpretating what's going on politically in our country right now you know i have a pet theory that the more social and economic distress a culture goes through the the greater the delusional thinking gets so that you know as these social stress rises the crazy ideas and delusional ideas and tend to increase it's not a very. good it's not a very good set of conditions for you know arriving at

a picture of reality if we compare occupy wall street to the arab spring we saw american politicians on the mainstream media plotting the arab spring yet this is somewhat of a similar beginning some uprising along those lines doesn't go double standard a little bit too obvious yeah it's amazing it's amazing that we were cheerleading for all those people in the street in career square you know anderson cooper was down there and you know all the other. usual media suspects were there cheering for the protesters in spite of the fact that there was a very good chance that the outcome of the revolution might not be so good let's put it this way you know that the outstanding feature of the politics in the last three years. there's has been that nobody on wall street has had to sit in a court room. for the tremendous amount of misbehavior in banking and

you know this includes acts that can only be described as swindles and frauds well people have been talking about the lack of accountability ever since the financial meltdown took place three years ago but we haven't seen anybody come out onto the streets why now and do you think that this movement could end up taking america to a better place and at least in terms of pushing palate politicians to hold someone accountable if just i do think there's a reason why we haven't seen a lot of protests the kind of things that have been happening to americans are very shameful they lose or draw up they lose their income they can't support their families they can't feed their families their house gets taken away from them you know these are things that tend to be humiliating and shameful and i think that because of the way our system works where you know this is the land of freedom and

liberty people blame themselves and they internalize the lot of the bad feelings and then you know they suppress it because it's shameful the combination of the sheen and the anger that's all kind of mixed up with that has not really expressed itself and it may take a bit more to shove it over the edge you may take you know a bit more hardship now in one of your articles you say the hope invested and obama will end up in a museum of lost hopes along with the integrity of t.v. news i want to ask you if this were to be obama's only term as president what would he be remembered like in history well i voted for obama i think that he's probably all said and done he's probably a decent chap but it also appears that he's either a hostage to history or a hospital. to certain factions in our culture and economy like the wall street bankers. remember over

a thousand people were successfully prosecuted for the misdeeds in the savings and loan scandals of the late one nine hundred eighty s. and early one nine hundred ninety s. no significant figure from the banking community has really been even sat in a courtroom and had to answer for any of their their deeds you know there have been a couple of fluky cases including bernie made off you know these are outliers these are the marginal cases but really the heart of the system hasn't been touched i think that. mr obama will be remembered as kind of a spectacular failure and i also think that this is a period of history that is comparable to the eight hundred fifty s. in the usa that was the period that preceded the civil war and it was a period in which political institutions were failing you know an interesting thing happens in situations like this institutions lose what's called legitimacy with

judah missing a reason to exist and the faith among people who have subscribed to the their beliefs that they are worth believing in and you know we're seeing a grand failure of legitimacy now in the political system in the usa and it's rather frightening you really sort of forecast every year for for the year ahead what the united states should await and in your forecast for twenty eleven you said that the number one question really is kind of political economy floating like a when he who will loon all of the costs of sheer fakery. balloon pops yeah well i think that the air has been going out of it steadily but surprisingly slowly for three years and you know we're the whatever pin. prick in this balloon you know where we are it seems to be located at the moment is over europe with

tremendous questions about the legitimacy of the european union and the banking sector more more generally but you know all of the banks in europe and north america are. interrelated and there's no chance that what happens on one continent is not going to affect another i think that there sooner or later we're going to see similar problems in the usa the air is going out of the balloon. it's been remarkable that the fabric of this bubble was so strong but when all is said and done it's a fabric of faith and confidence that the system is meaningful and sustainable and people are beginning to doubt that that it that it is if we could return to the role of the media that you returned to this issue in your blog quite often you've written that they shout down invited guest commentators pander to their demographic and dissed their rivals for ratings what role do they play these days well you know

culture goes through cycles when institutions. take various forms acquire a certain legitimacy and then blow it throw it away and i've seen it happen in my lifetime where you know the the authority of the evening news on the networks was unquestioned but what's happened is that you know i think that the media has lost its confidence it's certainly in a great state of. convulsive transition we do know that younger people tend not to really get their news from t.v. at all you know they mostly get it from the internet. there are very few kind of vested legitimate authorities on the internet who are trust. good news bringers they all appear to have an agenda of some kind or another whether it's a left wing right wing capitalist socialist you know we never want it is and

you know i think we have a long way to go before any of these things are sorted out and it's one of the reasons that we can't construct a coherent narrative about what's happening to us do you think the united states could face its own perestroika i prefer to call it a reset because i don't think it's the end of the world or the end of culture or the end of america i think it's a reset of culture but it but it can be very very painful and you know there will be a lot of losses involved of property and status and you know things that were important to people that they're going to lose and so we have to somehow be prepared for this period of history that's very difficult but i think we're seeing is something that i did expect that we would mount a campaign to sustain the unsustainable because of our tremendous psychological

investments in the stuff that we've got running you know we put all of our national treasure into building freeways and building these massive suburbs and building all of the accessories and furnishings for them you know the strip malls and the malls and all the you know all the stuff that comes with them. that's where our national wealth has gone you know we're not going to just kick it into the garbage can without a struggle. but i don't think that it's going to work very well for us anyway so the final in the final analysis when i think is going to happen is america is going to be dragged kicking and screaming into a reset of daily life james howard kunstler thank you so much for your time.

from the days of the manhattan project nathan forty two the university of california has been involved through the science of its provision and scientists and their relationship versity you see since day one has been in charge of researching designing and testing nuclear weapons and to some extent producing weapons every single long nuclear weapon in surveys arsenal was signed by university of california. we don't warm go. to university of california was selected as the concept because the army needed scientists to believe there are a verse of the position it's. a group of protesters interrupted a university of california border regions meeting to demand the school's sever ties

online wherever you are. on. thursday evening schools around the nation is coming up. with a century look at the teeth of their one hundredth european fixture directly showdown time to i thought this. was points brought to china's policy rooms and missed chances as many twice come back to door to shut down in the champions league . home sweet home while the one saying is tied for the lead like. names golf tournaments and home base of taiwan. i will start with you right where luck might see for make history later this day also side kick off at home to greek

out right after what their one hundredth european fiction but that's more than young reports. on the all milestone there is this europa league clash at home to iraq will begin number one hundred in european competitions for the muscovite side although the railway mills head coach just like to see a role could this should not affect his players' motivation that. it's a good number for the club no doubt but it doesn't really matter much in terms of motivation we treat every game as a crucial one because all the place take it as an owner to defend the colors of the club. however not all of them will be able to do so if the true keys of a stadium with at least who are key members of the squad said to sit on the sidelines and with all of those of you not we've got a number of injured players and to be honest that is a problem but still the star us of an a story from our side lines and service is just recovering also i'm not sure if they said it will be able to help us in the

front line but will try to get away with those who are fit. the second placed hosts have won one of their two group games too for having suffered their first defeat under the poor to give against under let three weeks ago and adding three points at home against the greek side who are boredom and have failed to clean a point so far is definitely a must for loko back. lost two games in this in this competition of course. needed. in the. game of course everything games. should be next in this game was looking ready for looking to sue bray their european jubilee in style although it's a safe bet i have different plans for thursday night robert berliner on earth sea

region. well in the meantime opponents like of their own selection problems in their attacking line of business lost a newly signed strike i did johnson to approach a leg over the weekend they still held the city rivals libby on cost one one draw just a joint top of the domestic league however as we heard in the roper league their bottom of group bell after defeats to under let them still hurts and their coach is not life what needs to be done. there are several key points we should stick to if we are two o'clock in the chief these are still fully focused for the whole of the match especially when it comes to defending and then did great and aggressive a lot of resistance and eventually take three points of little. meanwhile russia strike iran apologetic that will make iran start the top when the north london club host joins group leaders rubin kazan later this thursday how much anger has spends just seventeen minutes on the pitch in the english premier league this season he has been a regular starter in the europa league games and netted equaliser in last month's

three one win at home to shamrock rovers tottenham are behind rubin only on goal difference so the winner would take me out right lead and spurs manager harry redknapp is wondering a russian side of joe di maggio read all the videos on american so it is up to speed but actually a good side will organize a caricature and seems very good change. staying with the ball and sent coach leach on a spell as he says he was disappointed not to have claimed all three points that shot in the champions league out of the sized suits in ukraine ranchero missed a penalty after just eleven minutes and the visitors were punished as being on that shankar in front of four minutes later however we gave himself by levelling just after half an hour and we are no puts the home side to one up on the stroke of half time how about within hours on big surprise really equalized two against towards an eight rival and today was how it finished russian champion state seconds after well

the two one one the course a for me while fernando torres struck twice as chelsea recalled to bed with his champions league victory with a five mil thrashing of belgian side game at stamford bridge. also out in his european accounts of the greatest chelsea remain top of groupie by a point for violate his reason he won two one a time to balance the rights blues mileage under a village boss thinks this team jelling nicely. and i'm very very happy with the performance and some really the way play with the commitment of the of the came towards a game that everybody expects you to win and you know that and discipline and surprise is. just around the corner and more able to keep the concentration and focus. you know my dream is to put a good performance and one of good results well elsewhere defending champions barcelona and day to nowhere outside of home to report yet there's only

a process they suffered in group h.b. hi stacey in the last week about eight suniel it sounds fair and meanwhile the spanish champions enjoy seventy eight percent of the possession and then there's a yes and i think here or in the goals so not on the nightly and on messing you score sixteen times already this season that's coach pep guardiola that's was a positive. direction actually said we made a real exception tonight because we played some tremendous food book the new system message doesn't score think of the allow that kid has achieved and we have got to learn all the don't use this round he doesn't score which i wish to use to continue for many years of treatment and also on top of group effort after aaron ramsey united the stoppage time went on and then one zero when it lost sight of the second point behind them we are close are further after their three one hundred three over brasil dortmund does not need your ass and going up and it's his side deserve to be where they are to wednesday night's performance. to get off

a cauldron. i don't think it was dangerous in the second offertory and. in turn this very different there were not so. but you can she last fifteen minutes we created some challenges and doing well course you were rewarded for because you could go in. running on stennis now s. third seed marion bartoli has been rushing to send you back to go to the quarter finals of the crown and cup here and lost a bunch of coos to victory and she faced her ranking points to reach the season ending w t h championships however she needs to take that title to qualify nothing else where in the main it does mean out one all the russian battle and save the money kristie with about triumph in straight sets the next place twenty there is going to roll over and finally succeed scotland because that's over the second set of belong to that area. that is there in the right strong local manzanita it's also not converting the first of his five match points in the second set size weight

loss of the french union themselves to sixth seed it with next play i back to patrick eagle for the simple of seven top seed duncan six out of it although you are trying to qualify jeremy shelley asked if he created his underdog a fall off an expat in a culture that germany had the better not so bad she only. swimming now and american start michael thoughts once again just one gold from three races the latest world cup stage here in moscow russian world record holder. did perform to his best when in one hundred metres butterfly constant has already exists. despite moving to a form where after a below forty spoon she used the following journalling to champion michael phelps produced almost identical santa results on day two of the world cup in the russian capital in the two hundred metres freestyle the twenty six year old american was overtaken in the last major on the world record holder paul bigger month and had to

settle for silver. and phelps competing in moscow for the first time to make it to the podium in the one hundred metres butterfly world record holder you can at least get rich first place to do either of the home crowd i mean yeah border it was very important for me to. intraday so i can see i've won a battle and now my aim is to win at war and by that i mean the london olympics. however just as he did on the opening day phelps showed his competitive design as he bounced back to claim gold in the two hundred metres backstroke after being fourth for the first one hundred fifty metres the american found in the rest of poet and managed to surge to victory it's all working and some of the small things to really get to the end of the year being able to tie together some of the stuff here the starch turns under waters health i can do that as many times and i can living up in the hill a bit child and or make exception i drive. the london olympics or just nine months

away and berber asians are well underway for the swimming events however there are still four stages to go before the end of the world cup giving press bondings and swimmers and like they were to do to gauge who will be clean shindig old man old at the twenty twelve games is a bit of a zero zero tea. party is a goal fans despised pre-tournament and that's well number one yani tseng produced a strong finish to the opening rounds to tie for a one shot lead at the first ever event in the highlands of taiwan we're trying to tell you all the five time major winner david bowden the first hole back to bounce back in style setting up this thirty top five night and saying that on the back nine the card had faced that in the final health for the heart and a sixty eight cents a share of the lead with. the japanese while the seven rallied from a bogey at the sixteenth to super but in fact placing and personify the northwest

and moving across all time all one stripe behind. and that's all a sport for now i'll be back in just on the to oust i think. it
