book about this is nazi and these are the latest news on the week's top stories believe it celebrations are stained by a bloody and so they death awaits late leader as education as a match colonel gadhafi was executed fire lynch mobs of rebel points is that what the president if you should make sense has asked me can travel divisions of matrimony be bins and once you know that in a revolution. breaking point this week violent clashes erupted in greece as people were hate withnail stary commanders why we need is an on again stick no need to try and resolve the debt crisis in. russia live a barack as in nato it seems as though to remove the roadblocks of a dispute or so because for border has asked me serves god did locate to stop the peacekeepers advance. and right now you analyse the ongoing occupy wall street movement which started over

a month ago shows no signs of slowing down and we talked also and social critic claims counsellor about the so no woman at phenomenon and what kind of impact it may have on the future if you are. i can't sing 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 an artist teenage behavior and you've essentially 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 say 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 and 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 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 on the mainstream media plotting the arab spring yet this is somewhat of

a similar beginning of some uprising along those lines isn't the 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 and or some 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 back that can only be described as swindles and frauds well people have been talking about the lack of accountability ever since

the financial meltdown some 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 college politicians to hold someone accountable it's just that 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'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 it may take you know a bit more hardship now in one of your articles you say they're hoping vested 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 when all is 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 certain factions most in our culture and economy like the wall street bankers and. 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 is 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 mysie a reason to exist and the faith among people who have subscribed to that to 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 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 be floating like when he. got so sure thinkers how couple and 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 where 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 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 it 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 just 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 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 never won 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 her story i prefer to call it a reset because i don't think it's the end of the world or the end of culture. where the end of america i think it's a reset of culture but it it but it can be very very painful and you know there will be a lot of losses and call it 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 and. 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 what i think is going to happen is america is going to be dragged kicking and screaming into a reset of daily life seems how to construct thank you so much over time.

the be. very warm your news today protesters on the. street they have. ladies and gents a good chance the chance is to get the status of the human experiments he.

to make this new sounds the week's top stories in aussie elitism liberations stained by bloody icons of the death of its limitations a measure. came to. light is going to get out. future looks and sadness ethnic and tribal divisions imagining leaving is once united and revolution. breaking points this week violent clashes erupted increases people were hit with more stares he measured while you peters out against the cloak made to try and resolve the debt. so as the barricades nato forces failed to remove the growth of locals at the disputed said the kosovo border that's ethnic some of it's going to be located to stop the peacekeepers of problems right now and as he's trying to get over the weekend sporting action was trained tree.

part of their walk into this course of that here are two things for joining us this hour first let's take a quick look at what's making this sporting headlines around the globe. blackout new zealand crowned rugby world cup champion for the second five following a close eighty seven victory over france. across in russia the exciting game for north america jaws a lot of new followers across the ocean. and passed by career double it's a title the negative book of of survivor picks. in the women's singles final to lift the comic up here in the russian capital. so a new zealand twenty seven rugby world cup champions the all blacks try thing by the narrowest of margins over a french team in auckland it may have been the lowest scoring decide ever but it was also one of the most exciting one try a place for the sides with twenty one kowtowing over for the house fifteen minutes

in the french captain to read just one touchdown eight minutes after the break i was a student all pouty would prove crucial eight to seven prior school ends and part of the all black stuff to celebrate the second world crown. the guys who had won the world cup and there is a standing. i would been through a lot together as richard c. and a lot of the guys played in the last world cup. and felt the quarter final and the witnesses. was not which were quite frankly too complex to be sure certainly we have always thought we always said that the all blacks were the best team of all time and i don't think i would seem was great even tremendous for you but it was difficult really to just a tiny bit more here. now football when the russian premier league leaders really have retained their top spot following a free one away victory to restore faith we visited nine minutes open this scoring

has done it registered in a logo there for two minutes and defend smaller front of the fire in the area so the referee had no other option but to point to the sport on a look which make no mistake that by the thirty second minute extended their later three goals the higher had of how much they crossed to the amount called one goal but straight after the break but that was it for the house so we want to finish and still on top of the standings. stuff like north pole meanwhile have gone forth in the standings as a fresh f.c. stadium full open the scoring for the muscovites ten minutes brazilian striker double billing it just before the break messi had plenty of time to fire his powerful shot into the top right corner after the break spot substitute matric

a human contributed with his career is first go for the team to make a frame and finally found the net once again for the home side two minutes before the whistle to seal the final result before. if the late game so melty to start for their home defeat by second place a scar north that was finished five drinks then it's meant. to do with a hat trick to his name. to the english premier league now where manchester city have threshed cross-town rivals united six one at old trafford my rehabilitation and a big circle with a double there for the. other the consolation girl for alex ferguson's men. sixty five points clear of their closest rivals united's. three one win is against . stock city of attorney general picks up all three points but full on another games taught them a speck on the winning track as they defeated two girls two one but placed

chelsea's surprise in the last two leaves the board screens are rangers. but now let's take a look at brazilian football where current. as a last letter come an error by two girls and mr charles to move third in the table open this scoring eleven minutes into the game will provide a foot from the test come oscar midfielder found a note from the pound to keep this strike appeared to be too strong fulfilment as goalkeeper diego there to give and went up first half injury time paralysis cross had a helm at the near post. to finish the miserable night for the hosts referee in car with central. several minutes before the on with. over to paris now where it's a bulk of that has won her first ever career double duty title the kremlin cup that's after beating in the women's singles here in moscow i think counted turns

out to three it was based on a player with open a rather easily six three but the eight seats stormed back in the second and she won it in a tie break simple goal was also betting the decider taking it seventy five the match. trophy. in the men's game was. claimed the title following a straight sets victory over come through and defending champions league detroit's top seed tips ravished opening seven six four was of no confidence in the second one is dropped only two games there to win the cup. now the north american sport of lacrosse has become an unlikely pastime in russia the exciting game drawing a lot of new followers here this year as consider the top of now explains. lacrosse is recognized as the all this north american sport with origins in the fifth century the native americans who took it to their horrocks even went as far as

calling your little brother off war many moments have occurred since then alone its popularity in the past indeed worldwide to flourish. is a team game so it's got that competition thank is in the air so so here are three dimensions it is more scope for their clever stuff i like that you know you've got a very good stay in there but yeah like if things are live itself yeah i think it varies. and because i think it's kind of fun is ok you know padded up you know you're not going to get better really if he does not like i got the ball and suddenly like four guys in the land i mean it's kids funny you know it was like ross has been a surprising revelation for russian audiences despite having few domestic players and just to be clubs one each in moscow and st petersburg this poor state sure is growing in every match between the rivals is a leading man at the moment foreign fans are in the majority in the stands. i think

in russia it's a it's an occurrence well it's you know it's a brand new sport and i think you know we have a lot of americans a lot of british people here who are trying to play with the russians and she's the russians how to play the course and hopefully integrate into russian culture is a great game for young people because it's it's but i don't think you know it's going to the out there to become to get stronger and to make friends the reality but cross has been a tool in big games in nineteen zero four in late in zero eight with canada topping the poor human both occasions it's also the national summer sport of the council the physically demanding pastime with its full context stands not too dissimilar to the country number one sport ice hockey oh i was looking for team mates to play hockey but got into lacrosse and now i like it not a lot of people here know anything about the gang and i like to watch people as amazed. faces when they see my stick and helmets in the streets it has a lot in common with hockey so i mean the cheating i mean the game itself the

strategy involved it's pretty similar to hockey hockey's partner so i mean i think you could definitely grow in russia there is still a long way to go for course before lee comes a well known sports on russian soil leaf the enthusiasm of the people really playing it here is anything to go by the signs and it will happen sooner rather than as a monopoly or a cheat. and follow very said news italian rider marcos him and charlie has died after a crash at the malaysian insert pang they twenty four year old will see parts of bikes at turner levon after appearing the color of reds and bullets in a row the american right also fell but the state serious injury fellow italian russell was able to return to the pits the race was immediately stopped after the tragedy so in a challenge and let it be rather thought two seasons following at chapiter career in their classes so yet another tragedy in a sport. where our medical staff arrived on him he was unconscious
