9:04 am
committed to nonviolence which is extremely important and i think the police sometimes fail to recognize that when they attack nonviolent protesters it really exposes the corruption of the system and the fact that the police also mostly are fielded to protect the one percent and not to protect the free speech rights of the rest of us that actually draws more support for the protest they are finally drawing attention to the fact that we have an economy actually it not only in the united states but in the world that is predominantly working for the for the one percent of people who control the financial system it is not working for the ninety nine percent we've had so much conversation in the united states fueled by corporate media focusing attention on the problem is the problem is the government skipping over the fact that wall street has created an economy that is devoted primarily to making money for rich people through trying financial games we have to address that issue you know people are complaining that the occupy wall street
9:05 am
people don't have clear demands it's actually quite clear what they want they want their economy back they want their government back they want their future back and they actually want a country that operates by principles of true democracy and real markets which which work for everyone. and later in the program we give the demonstrators in new york at a chance to get their voices heard. these people are so greedy and so by money and wealth that materialism and consumerism laurie harmfulness heads down to occupy a park in the big apple for our tea towels protesters for their passage to wall street. and germany's multicultural melting pot boils over as immigration anger drives a deepening divide through communities party reports from berlin. an

attack by army to searchers in syria has reportedly left seventeen soldiers dead according to human rights groups all this comes after the arab league condemned the continuing killings of civilians in the country and the regime protests the arab in a serial committee is due to hold another round of talks with syrian officials over the weekend to help end of the crisis the un estimates more than three thousand people have been killed since march the uprising against president bashar al assad began protesters have also been calling for a no fly zone over the country as well as aerial support from a to work planes but brian becker from the u.s. based antiwar coalition asser believes that i'd like libya serious too strong for the alliance to intervene that's why the west wants to spark a civil war there to bring about regime change. or using the same lingo the same scenario the syrian opposition is borrowing a page from the playbook for libya they know that they can come to power only would be advanced with the support would be intervention through multiple means of the
9:07 am
nato powers of the western powers and i think what we can tell the syrian people is look at what happened in libya the issue of a no fly zone sounds like go a way to defend civilians it's really a way to begin the war to begin military operations against the syrian air force or air defenses and i think the first. and this is the plan of the obama administration is not direct military intervention but to promote a civil war inside of syria i think they realize that the syrian government is substantially stronger military really and within the arab world as compared to could feed but they can use the human beings who have grievances valid or not to be the human materiel for a civil war and i think the u.s. government officials are signaling the syrian opposition and the syrian president that they should learn the lesson of libya is a clear message begin the civil war they want to weaken syria first as a as
9:08 am
a prelude to a more direct intervention for regime change a massive protest for economic justice is expected to take place in the israeli capital in just a few hours well let's cross live now to tell of the event speak with israeli american columnists and writer bradley burston i was a person this is the first time of course almost half a million israelis protested nationwide in september but their leaders have since pleasure seek reform through other means so why are they now returning to the streets i think that there's a feeling that there's a need right now to go back to the spirit drove the demonstrations in the summer and the spirit really is based on the questioning of some very basic assumptions of these really really government of this really economy how the resources are allocated and and and and questioning sacred cows like the defense budget and
9:09 am
also settlements. yes speaking about that we will go to the allocation a little bit earlier but then the israeli parliament has already approved an outline of economic reforms have they taken these considerations into account why aren't a protester satisfied. they will the committee. has made recommendations that that. that could lead to reforms but much of it requires legislation which will come up in the next parliamentary session which hasn't even begun yet but more than that there's a sense that some of the immediate response to the social protests widespread lowering of prices by major. marketing chains for example are being lost in. in a retrenchment. a policy of raising prices quietly back to
9:10 am
levels that they were in the summer ok going back to what you were talking about allocation and all of this is coming a sell of it's plowing ahead with the construction of new settlements in occupied palestine u.s. soil how is this being viewed by israelis. well the the. the connection is not being made directly but what what will happen i think is that the automatic and and basically behind the scenes allocation of resources from many government ministries to new housing developments in the in the occupied territories may be very much more difficult to carry out without scrutiny the questioning has a lot to do with transparency the question has a lot to do with what actually is happening with the resources that are going to the finances are going to the settlements and even if the settlement activity is
9:11 am
not blocked the fact of the of the allocations the widespread nature of allocations from many ministries and the nature of the subsidies that go out to the settlements may change people's minds of eventually about the wisdom of continue to build there ok let's talk about government's reaction to these protests can do you think we're going to be seeing force directed at fellow israelis now. no i don't believe so i think that there has been a very very conscious decision on the part of the demonstrators on the part of law enforcement to keep these demonstrations as peaceful as they possibly can be and there is a there's a kind of cooperation even between the demonstrators and the police and it was one of the one of the consequences of this and one of the outcomes of this was that one of the first reforms to be made as a result of the social protest was
9:12 am
a long delayed decision by the government to raise the salaries of police ok one more thing i'd like to bring up because just ahead of today's protests of course the israeli military bombed a militant training camp in gaza i mean how do such measures. reacted to by israelis in this distract from what the israeli public wants in terms of social change these military activities. well these things go on in parallel because this this raid follows a rocket attack against an israeli city not long ago and this kind of. this kind of back and forth. rocket attack followed by an israeli airstrike is something that. people have come to expect a and it's not clear. if it's kept on
9:13 am
a low level it's not clear that it really does have a great effect on on either public it's when these escalations get out of control that they really do have an effect on the on the palestinian and the israeli public ok one just one more question about demands of the israeli public i mean organizers of the protests say they want the israeli parliament to rewrite the budget for next year do you think that's a realistic demand. i think it is not a realistic demand but i think that also the government has a great deal of leeway short of rewriting the budget in reallocating resources the question is will the public come out in numbers great enough to convince the government that it's in their political interest to do so what is that number great and what is that critical mass do you think. it's going to be very difficult to reach it because the standards were set during the summer in the hundreds of thousands in a country of only seven or seven or eight million people if you get
9:14 am
a half a million people out on the street the government listens but if the demonstrations cannot generate. something in the numbers of the tens of thousands then the then the government will feel that it is simply. a. it was a phenomena of the summer and they would have to respond with a great deal of care. thanks very much for your thoughts are live from tel aviv israel the american columnist and writer bradley person thanks again. now the a regime change missions being signed off in libya this weekend the next stage is securing the surrender of colonel gadhafi is most influential son of the war crimes court so i fall as long as claims he's not guilty of crimes against humanity there have been in direct talks with prosecutors at the hague to bring him in and bought his whereabouts still remain unknown so i followed as wanted to ask her for suspected war crimes during the eight months living uprising which the u.n. says killed over thirty thousand people and ended with

nevertheless parts of the thai capital remain underwater officials have asked the u.s. military to help survey the damage the prime minister said the water was expected to recede in the first week of november and the flooding screen more than three hundred seventy lives since july a massive financial pyramid scheme which wiped out millions of people's life savings and russia in the night tonight is back well it's a centric founder served time for his dodgy accounting but savers in ukraine are queuing up to hand over their hard earned money are. explains why. the tweens eleven russian hit movie the pyramid depicts a robin hood of the ninety nine g.'s a businessman who promise is world for ordinary people and confronts the only garbage. the real story behind the split was a sad episode in russia supposed soviet history the financial pyramid called attracted millions vowing to multiply their investment many times in the end it

went bust up to fifteen million people lost their life savings hope i don't feel like i'm a sinner what about m.m.m. ninety four it was undermined by the government so i knew m.m.m. emerged with virtually unlimited resources absolutely i'm controlled so the situation was not acceptable and everything was done to eliminate it see the game of already the driving force behind the m.m. movement spent five years in prison for fraud but now the man often called the russian bernie madoff is back seventeen years since his financial pyramid had walked the post soviet space is back with another financial scheme and whilst in russia could hardly find any commercial enterprise the streets of ukraine cities have been literally flooded with calls to join in with the m.m.m. twenty eleven. we can do more is the slogan of the new complain at mit's it is another pyramid and is a risky venture but still promises people that they will make money. there is

a virtual currency called dollars which constantly goes up in price from twenty to sixty percent a month this price only i can see it some individuals exchange money between themselves without any obligations got into some conditions it is a fundamental point when there is no legal entity new joint account new office in other words everything is shared between millions of private accounts it means no one can put an end to it. financial experts in ukraine see little surprise in my body's latest scheme given the rough patch the country is going through the national bank is like in order to not the depreciation of national currency is like introducing in your restrictions and a lot of people on. the government machine the bureaucracy is again something like administer to the press in the financial markets and people looking for an exit claims his actions are legal ukraine's politicians disagree the ruling party wants

what do these two very different pieces of music have in common they're both performed in germany and they increasingly represent clashing forms of society here we want. the immigrants german just the illegal ones yes and after that the other day i was told that's the view of the national democratic party or n.p. d. here in germany they've supported many concerts attended by right wing supporters but their opponents argue they promote hatred they achieved in some regions in east germany there are no immigrants. it's not because of economy queens but it's because nobody wants rudy to go there because it's there always threatened one anti

nazi group recently managed to do right wing concert goers into wearing their bogus t. shirts when they were washed the rightwing slogan dissolved to reveal a message urging the wearer to leave their near nazi group. however german police intelligence estimates that there are eight to ten thousand hardcore militant neo nazis in the country those behind the stunt say that those numbers mean germany's problem is in the top three in europe every year in germany statistically you have about fifteen thousand twenty thousand hate crimes. of them about eight hundred violent crimes so that's also within the top five from europe when we put accusations of inciting hatred to the n.p.t. yes they were unmoved germany's the state of the germans but if you are today you have parts in berlin with more than thirty forty percent of foreign
9:22 am
us when it's just too much germany has large. minority populations from turkey the arab world and beyond many families now have second and third generation members with german citizenship and they're gaining political representatives who defy anyone who says they don't belong here. could not to say to me or take this. whereas most political parties are finding candidates from the ethnic groups they represent those on the right a posting the banners and slogans with the message go back where you came from with such a political divide the potential is there for german politics to become a lot it's not immediately obvious that this fruit and vegetable store is at the edge of the turkish district in berlin it looks much like a fruit and vegetable stall elsewhere in the city but the question being for political debates is will this region become a route for cultural exchange or

now as thousands continue to protest across america as part of the anti corporate occupy movement the mainstream media is at pains to point out there's a lack of a unified agenda for this return to where it all started in new york to discover that every demonstrator has a special something to say to wall street. the protesters of occupy wall street are clearly bad up with wall street and with washington so what do you think they would have to say to their would be oppressors this week let's talk about that i would like to say on your human beings also do you see the suffering that people are going through do you know what it's like we want the health insurance that you have everybody should have that health insurance we should have the basic rights in the basic care care of we the people more than your banker we need you to join us. because they're just people to be an us
9:25 am
versus them we need your help for personhood what is that and corporations that are have felt as though it's ok to exploit people and exploit the planet for profit and profit alone so what do you have to say to those corporation well i don't have to say anything other than i don't support them how do you say be fair and share to someone or something that does not know what what kind of concept this is and to qadi we practice we're a community where we share our resources we are so greedy and so by money and wealth and materialism and consumerism you still have a message for all these corporate bigwigs who are taking millions and not supporting their messages and so that my message is to make sure that these soldiers that are here that they continue to believe that this conversation is important and that these people are involved in a process of constructing a road where dreams are possible right now dreams are impossible in america for
9:26 am
a lot of people these people need to believe that dreams must continue that's why we're here so it seems like the bottom line is the protesters are less interested in talking to wall streeters and washington themselves and more interested in keeping the conversation and the power among the people themselves. all coming your way soon at the money world dissected by max keiser but first i'll be back with the headlights shortly.
