four thirty pm on a sunday here in moscow you with art see the latest news on the week's top stories for you now bloodstained ends to an era in libya with allegations colonel gadhafi was executed by the interim government's troops the country is now bracing for upcoming elections from the divisions among the victors are casting a grim shadow on the nation's future. breaking point this week violent clashes erupted in greece as people were hit with yet more austerity measures e.u. leaders up against the clock to try and resolve the debt crisis. battle over barricades nato forces failed to remove roadblocks by force of the disputed serbia kosovo border as ethnic serbs god the blockade to stop the peacekeepers advance. and historic moment a russian soyuz rocket set off from a french space space in the tropics carrying europe's first satellite navigation

system aiming to become a serious rival to america's g.p.s. . well the ongoing occupy wall street movement which started over a month ago now shows no signs of slowing down the next we talked she wore for and social critic james cussler about the phenomenon phenomenon and what kind of impact it's going to make on the future of the united states you watching arts. i. i can sitting down with author blogger and public speaker james howard kunstler so i think so much for joining us it's nice to be here let's get started with the occupy wall street movement is seen many media outlets try to ridicule them marginalize this movement as something that's temporary and really advocates teenage behavior i have essentially called this bogus in your blog let's talk about what is your take on occupy wall street well first of all i think 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 don't 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 is 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. 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 greater the delusional thinking gets so that you know that as the social stress rises the crazy ideas and delusional ideas 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 and the mainstream media plotting the arab spring yes this is somewhat of a similar beginning of 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 tahrir 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 the outstanding feature of the politics in the last three years has been that nobody on wall street has had to sit in a court room to answer for the tremendous amount of misbehavior in banking and

you know this includes facts 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 at least in terms of pushing palate politicians to hold someone accountable if just yeah 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 shame and the anger that it'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 and make take you know a bit more hardship now in one of your articles you say the hope invested in 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 hostage to a certain faction in most 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 that it's 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 a 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 would

you timoci a reason to exist and the faith among people who have subscribed to that 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 then your forecast for twenty eleven you said that the number one question really is can a political economy be floating like a when he the loon of costs of sheer fakery has the balloon popped out 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 are 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 that is if we could return to the role of the media you return to this issue in your blog quite often you've written that they shout down invited guests 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 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 trusted 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 are one 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 per store aker 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 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 what 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 and. that's where our national wealth has gone and 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 welcome your time .

from the days of the manhattan project. to the university of california has been involved through the sign it's provision and scientists and their relationship percy you see since day one has been in charge of researching designing and testing nuclear weapons and to some extent producing weapons every single on nuclear weapons. instigates arsenal reza sayah by university of california but. we don't warm go. to the first thing you call the formula was selected as the start because the army needed scientists to leave their first position it's. a group of protesters interrupted a university of california border regions meeting to demand the school's severed

an ace six full six will ultimately. now the north american sport of lacrosse has become an unlikely pastime and rush such a game drawing a lot of you fellow is here this year as customers at the top of now explains. what course is recognized is that all this north american sport with origins in the fifth century the native americans could keep it to their hearts even went as far as calling it the little brother off war many mandaeans have occurred since stands alone its popularity in the past indeed worldwide to flourish. is a team game so it's got that competition thanks it's in the air so it's now here three dimensions and there's more scope. to clever stuff like that you know you've got to put your stake in you've got yeah it's like an extension of yourself i think very. soon because i think it's kind of fun it's ok you know padded up you know you know going to get better really but he doesn't i like about the boss i don't like
