i know what's really happening to the global economy with much stronger no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to this report. you should. want to arm one hand tied behind her back in rehearsal just using the police and beyond we might need to use the term oh you know who is paving the way for a neo conservatism to take root in the u.s. and i'm not just talking about john you but the foundation he represents that with the american military rap sheet that reads more like a psychological thriller is warmongering and our heritage. and you know who is watching your every move might be more than just your twitter followers as the supreme court listen to arguments about the government using g.p.s. surveillance as privacy just a fantasy these days. and read between the lines

a new i.a.e.a. report is stirring up tensions of nuclear proportions between iran and western forces so who will benefit in a war with iran and at this point is there any way to silence the drums of war. it's tuesday november eighth seven pm in washington d.c. i'm liz ball and you're watching artsy well topping the show this hour an organization with enough money and power to shape the debate and washington and beyond doubt the power to implement policy that changes the role of the united states around the world i'm talking about the heritage foundation with the release of the reports today detailing iran's nuclear capability as there are many ways in which the conservative think tank is already sounding the alarm bells and length of foundation for war r t correspondent christine friends out takes a look at the organization's history and how it may hand out what's to come in the

future. former u.s. justice department official john yoo is not quite beloved by everyone they are you know what do you know what are you doing here on where from a shot on your ear you are wrong but here at the heritage foundation he is welcomed with open arms the speaker just speaking it does not represent the heritage something. what it does represent ideals often adopted by conservative pundits and politicians including you who wrote the memo giving legal justification for the use of torture saying that are a law it doesn't apply to interrogations of enemy combatants shouldn't. want to arm one hand tied behind our back and we are still just seizing the police and the f.b.i. we might need to use a milter president george w. bush chose this sympathetic venue to defend his appointment of michael mukasey his nomination for attorney general in jeopardy after he refused to declare

waterboarding illegal senate leaders must move his nomination out of committee. bring it to the senate for floor. and confirm this good man founded in one nine hundred seventy three a conservative think tank is bad to promote free enterprise limited government and traditional american values of critics they decisions made in here have less to do with democracy more to do with already corporate interests this is an organization that pushes a corporate agenda and a war profiteers agenda and have a right wing religious agenda there is war propaganda coming out of our ears in this town and it's those institutions like the heritage foundation that are that are the force behind it author and activist david swanson says those agendas are often fought for by powerful decision makers in washington we live and in an increasingly dangerous world danger to more country remains very we're real and

that the terrorists are still determined we were so uninformed about this threat from radical jihad it's the power of the heritage foundation is its ability to shape the debate and they put out ideas that otherwise you might think are absolutely insane that become mainstream corporate media television discussion and congressional the stuff in and end up in in which a solution and end up being passed into law during the one nine hundred eighty s. heritage pushed for a containment policy toward the soviet union so therefore you can fund the mujahideen you find the nicaraguan contras you back maoist groups. in angola. and anything to weaken the soviet empire which was seen as the overwhelming threat posed by traditional right wing nationalists of the kind you find that heritage interventionist policies critics say still haunt america and yet

continue to be pushed for time and time again in washington christine for is now fourteen. and joining me for more of a david swanson opera if not right here when the world out lot outlaw out of war they didn't get the how big of an empathic a conservative think tanks have on coming up support for a war the tremendous impact they carry this agenda forward on the plan that spans decades and they proceed with a similar agenda as presidents and congresses of the two parties come and go and they rotate their own staffers and think tankers in and out of official government positions and back to the think tank these are the people who led the destruction of welfare as we knew it during the clinton years they are for small government meaning small nonmilitary government they lead the driving of the of the national

debt and the military spending when reagan was president they don't have a problem with reckless spending and deficits they have a problem with spending our money on anything other than the military or wars and they completely old congress and why do they are you say why why do they continue to push this agenda and your opinion and who stands to benefit from from going to war. who will go into war with nations with huge oil supplies has been the desire of the oil corporations for decades going to war with a privatized military and a very profitable military industrial complex is a money making machine for certain interests and there are those who think it's politically advantageous and strategically beneficial to be building more bases in more countries the reasons that we go into these stores are often numerous they

just don't include the ones we are told such as suspicions of nuclear programs and so forth and the report just came out today which supposedly provides some justification for going to war with iran when he ran. the u.k. and now preparing to go to war in the us also preparing to go to war to what extent do you think that we're seeing the same thing behind this report. as far as this this point from these organizations. to go to war. well i think if you mean the same thing as around two thousand and two two thousand and three i think it's very similar but i think the bar has been lowered their area you're not required any longer to claim that they actually have nukes in or about a pharmacy within forty five minutes you can now get away with just claiming that they're working on programs and they might get there some day and that means need

to go in preemptively and if it's done in a way that risks few u.s. lives and relatively few u.s. dollars there may be little resistance certainly there is no congressional resistance to going to war without congress as we've seen with libya so there was no need to to go through the same routine of lying to congress that bush and cheney bother with and they have according to the heritage foundation website and two thousand and nine they are a break then a rat here heart eighty eight million dollars who with funding this organization and what that that tell you about the power that they have and washington. well these are our modern robber barons of this new gilded age it was the corps in this case he's had stored in this and similar institutions that have been well funded for basically my lifetime and he is the form the name of people who are one percent this is the target of the movement of ninety nine percent occupying our cities this

is the agenda of the extremely wealthy elite that has put up this giant bill being across the parking lot from the u.s. senate office buildings with its own no telling its own people his studios and everything you could want to in there it looks like another u.s. senate office building and it has as much power perhaps as the other ones and you mentioned your new book that you have out and you really you know there are when on the on war the illegality behind war can you talk a little bit more about that and how on a flip side it's become more mainstream and acceptable to go to war yeah you mentioned john hughes memos in that clip and this is somebody who would pull out vetoes that were over written speeches that were given notes that were made in the margins of court rulings and claim to have something legal whereas on the side of

peace and justice we have actual laws we have the kilo of riyadh act which was ratified by the u.s. senate eighty five to one in january one thousand nine hundred ninety and no one remembers it but we are a party to it and so is there am and so are most of the nations of the world and if they're against war any any use of war no matter how beneficial or humanitarian or defensive you claim it might be war was to be eliminated by history which is still on the books still on the state department's website and we are not complying with it i don't think by reminding people of this i'll end war by next week but i think we need to look. back to how we got there and why we've forgotten it and how people like their distribution are so dominated our discourse that we can't even talk about it anymore and they've just came from d.c. where you've been pro protesting for quite a while we're seeing these occupy wall street protest on your at that stop machine

pilots asked do you think that we are now seeing a backlash on you know corporate greed as one of the big things that they're protesting against and the we are thing that anti-war message do you think that all these protests that we're seeing that the message is getting out there and then people are starting to take notice and really stand up against the as these powers we've seen changes in the topics of discussion in the corporate media in this country and in trying gris and we've seen changes in the polling of what people think of the inequality and of the fairness of this hoarding of wealth by the super extremely wealthy elite so the the culture is changing slowly whether we can change congress since arm to impact the super committee's decisions is a much bigger hurdle this is this is movement but we are certainly seen progress and in freedom plaza tomorrow the occupation will be holding its own super

committee hearings where such topics as in the wars and taxing the rich will be permitted unlike on capitol hill where we get arrested for mentioning such things they haven't thanks so much for your thoughts on this pledge to have you won that was they've it's once an author of the book on the world outlaw out of war. well is big brother watching you apparently they can if they log right now police can slap a g.p.s. system on your car and track your every move twenty four seven the supreme court today heard arguments on whether or not police can legally do this without a warrant this stems from a case of a d.c. nightclub owner who is now back met nabbed by police back in two thousand and five police were able to track his activities for a month through a g.p.s. the device they attached to his car anton jones was convicted and sentenced to life behind bars but the court of appeals overturn the verdict ruling that police indeed violated jones's privacy but three federal appeals courts have ruled that g.p.s.

monitoring isn't legal without a warrant amid the conflicting rulings the supreme court is now hearing the case that's being called one of the most important fourth amendment cases in a decade and it could determine just how far police can go in tracking your every move so the rights of privacy eroding in america and is this case a violation of the fourth amendment earlier i posed this question that alex jones and he sure had a lot to say about the issue take a listen so look it shows how far we've come that just five years ago bush got up and said i promise we're not listening to american citizens phone calls without warrants and then it came out he was lying and basically everything is fed through and there's a built in said the phone company systems and the police put on your property without a warrant something to track you everywhere you go clearly of all common law jurisprudence english common law our constitution its own. debated in history that this is

clearly a violation of the fourth amendment against unreasonable search and seizure but it's a violation of the tenth amendment to have federal t.s.a. people now on the highways of america running checkpoints not just at airports the f.b.i. can't randomly grope people's genitals but the t.s.a. does this is all part of a globalist come and security revolution in america they're the revolutionaries overthrowing our republic and replacing it with the orwellian homeland and police now admit they're without warrants dialing in on star systems that's on record and listen to people in their cars they admit that. smart meters on houses can pick up an algorithm and even know what you're watching on television or actually wireless snooping ups i mean this is so off the charts homeland security came out on fox news and said the deputy director said that yes you're not going to know who are

listening to you but yes we're putting billions of dollars worth of streetlights that have hidden cameras and microphones to watch you and directly out of one hundred four this is incredible but they could argue well there's no perception of privacy there but now it's into people's homes it's people cell phones it's it's inside their cars this is just in credible that we've gone this far and now they're announcing domestic hardened checkpoints and random checkpoints and i've actually pulled up to these now and they come up try to pull you out of your car with your children i am living in something out of a third world dictatorship and it's getting worse by the minute now they are announcing they want to censor internet freedom they're doing emergency media takeover drills tomorrow never before happened this empire's get ready to start world war three and it wants to clamp down like the nazis did on its domestic population we are in grave danger and so is the world founded. carys alex one

justification for using this kind of technology is that you know you're driving on public roads you know. this no you know you're you're driving on public roads and therefore you are or you're making us all vulnerable to you're putting yourself out there you're in the public and so i mean do you think that's a valid argument i mean with more sophisticated technology is this just the new reality of the world that we live in today. churnalism laughing at you you're right that's what they're saying i was just laughing and i asinine it says. they are now claiming the second amendment's a privilege nowhere is a privilege and jurisprudence but they're just coming cops it is i see court rulings where judges say don't bring the constitution in my courtroom that's america all of this is illegal this is your personal privacy thousands of rulings going back with automobiles and horse and buggies before that say that your conveyance is your home is your person papers or effects that's in the fourth

amendment this is a direct assault on the core of this country all over the nation state police under federal grants pull you over grab your cell phone plug it into a system that hacks and instantly and downloads its contents homeland security does this inside the us at airports they take people's silver coins now there's a meeting or threaten to confiscate them this is me and i don't think north korea goes at this level i mean they may go get certain people and go after them it's terrible but this is just everybody i mean this is prisoner total indoctrination and if you go look at the u.s. laws this is all illegal but it's illegal to have the cia operating in hundreds of cities in threat fusion centers but they do it publicly so this is just the gauntlet thrown down authoritarianism but in our face but you have to keep here it

was sold by sucker men face up to her hand and got suckered by schmidt of google that hey don't do something online if you don't want the public to see it and hey our users are just dumb indians haha they think they can trust us that dr burke a facebook this is the type of stuff that they say and do it in just an attempt to overwhelm us and to get in our face it's not that i have something to hide. privacy throughout history corrupt institutions governments criminals you name it use not having any privacy as a way to assess their mark those they want to feed on and gather intelligence against the general public to bring in karen that's why the founding fathers set up systems against this and when you are against the bill of rights a constitution you are against this republic that had been a shining light of freedom to the world now to get out of states exporting its

mercenaries its corruption its t.s.a. style groping to europe now the united states has been turned into a giant engine of wickedness and i want my republic back i want the globalist banks toure's who hijacked our nation out of fear who think they can get right now to face then tell us there's no fourth amendment now listen i've got articles where the police are going to people's houses now without warrants and saying there's i mean it is unbelievable example english. and that was a very. jones a left turn power is now drumming up support for war with iran this after report came out today by the un's nuclear watchdog leaked information from the reports supposedly reveals fresh evidence out of the country developing its nuclear weapons program arms with this new information the u.k. as prepping its military for action and it's believe the u.s. is gearing up for the possibility of war against iran as well meanwhile israel test fires a ballistic missile believed to be able to take aim at the country so is america on

the verge of another war in the middle east the only outspoken pepe escobar join me earlier to talk all about this and more of take a listen. metis delicate israel cover begin it and you know it. for minimal to overbalance or turn foreign minister lieberman they tell a pack specially in wash the what to do. heritage foundation others think tanks think thanks that deal with the middle east that you know the. bull goose translations up texts or if they find an existence do you see everywhere and they tell the u.s. congress what to do this is how it works in israeli american politics so always the heritage foundation and everybody else will be drumming up support for a war even if they are you are minimally realist they know that if there is an

israeli strike or if there is a mean a u.s. shock and awe against iran the first thing iran will do is to close the strait of horribles anybody that knows a little bit about a person those knows it straight a little more says more than forty percent of global oil trends it's sort of strange so instantly would have more than six million barrels of oil out of global markets this means what the global economy comes to a standstill in less than a week who's going to be responsible for that certainly not the obama administration mad dog israel is a completely different story and what do you think that report just came out of there providing supposedly her via the evidence. that iran iranian is that there is the evidence and retching there a nuclear nuclear weapons do you think that this report could provide a fresh justification for going to war with iran full squad is it anything it's in do you remember anybody remembers the fast and furious plots roughly

a month ago you know the drunken guy from texas the mexican through perth fails the i r g c guy into iran is this. t. connection it's true because this was an f.b.i. sting operation no nobody even talks about it this was a probable causes barely for war now they can the i.a.e.a. report last of what if it's here it's easy to get a rehash of an authorization that four years ago was known as the lap top of beth i.p.s. spider with even very good stories on the a laptop with death and everybody will internet and find the story it was a hoax made secret and on top of it the claims that they have fresh evidence from more than ten countries you know over a thousand pages of documents mohamed el baradei was the previous head of the i.e. he said many times on the record that he never trusted to run televisions because

basically it just was diplomat leaks and set alight images that you could put they you could not corroborate anywhere so if this looks like a rehash of the remember two thousand and two early two thousand and three build up towards the war in iraq with all those leaks there were in the front page of the new york times what this is exactly the same thing and there is no fresh evidence so in the report they say well they were experimenting but they ended up in two thousand and three but then another section assessed look they were experimenting and they maybe have a covert program a program but he did it in two thousand and ten so there is no evidence and russia was a russian today was saying they don't trust this report because they know this is no evidence otherwise they will be convinced the chinese that they didn't even talk about anything cool to the next step should be harsher sanctions at the u.n. they're ready for rounds of sanctions against iran if the you went and this is it

for russia and china this is the red line the next from the sessions will be to close down you're an explorer so poil and guest this is completely absurd kid. only imagine all of these people in your work and all live in the blue or insects or already know sync that china is good at u.n. security council in full to. itself i guess you read and be instantly deprived of six hundred and fifty thousand barrels of oil imports from iraq that's basically that's a a maybe is rising tensions we hear from the russian president let's take a moment to listen to what he had to say because we do with them and we can see that the situation in the middle east is a fever pitch we understand that the middle east peace process is locked in still making him last week that's despite the fact that all sides of the conflict are really trying to find a solution and even now in this situation we someone started threatening anyone

with military action those could trigger very grave problems but could escalate into a conflict usually was not what i think we need to decompress what's the market's going to continue constructive dialogue on eastern problems including iran's nuclear issue and not threaten any kind of show of force that that could lead to a fully fledged war which would result in the catastrophe of the middle easterns a lawyer if well you better you just heard a member heard on your cell the russian president calling for a peaceful resolution for a constructive dialogue but i mean and i as a there is seems that there is. this push for a war is happening right now who do you say stands to benefit from going from another conflict and a middle east. well it's suspect with remember little girl going to be given the early two thousand and nine where he will start in the researching forest course run that he will approach the room with little corrections he was

leader a great legacy of usual suspects and that was eight at times correspondent pascal barr well shifting gears a bit despite the issuing of this. report in the potential showdown that might come of it we're artsy have been a little confused as to how little airtime it's been getting in the mainstream news and sad these are the stories catching the attention of those in mainstream outlets now come on let's take a look. justin bieber justin bieber justin bieber guilty. for michael jackson herman cain herman cain what you did you were inappropriate to people why did this woman decide to go public right. now come on does america really need to watch the entire press conference of the latest moments come out and accuse herman cain of and a wanted sexual advances and doesn't really affect anyone's lives to know whether

or not justin bieber is the father of three month old baby and was completely necessary to cover the michael jackson trial twenty four seven meanwhile mainstream media ratings are going down as n.b.c. lost five percent of its viewers in two thousand and ten bucks new this is the eleven percent and c.n.n. is down seventeen percent so what do americans a really want to see on the news never ending sex scandals or the threat of nuclear war well we decided to find out what you thought don't broadcast journalism. more. or less. your response of the latest allegation of sexual harassment clearly michael jackson was a drug addict most people probably believe he's going to be convicted of involuntary manslaughter but he does heard of something that's happened with a guy named herman cain yes. potentially yes i have heard of the latest news on herman cain have you also heard about the michael jackson trial

yes i have yes i've heard the allegations about maria believes his name and the doctor that allegedly boys and him have you guys heard another. recent i.a.e.a. report saying that iran is sort of on the threshold not sort of on the threshold of nuclear capabilities and west is pretty worried about but here we go. no no no no no yeah actually i have not heard the news about that and it's interesting that you would bring that up because that seems much more maybe significant would you rather hear about herman cain's exploits or would you rather hear about something pertaining to nuclear weapons i would like to hear something about pertaining to nuclear weapons i think i'd rather hear less about herman cain sexual allegations i think michael jackson is getting way too much coverage in my opinion i don't care about that case or anything else that's going on with it i don't think

michael jackson's what's important to me that's for sure because a lot of other things i'd rather look for in my news than that i would hope that you know they would give good coverage to the things that are going to be you know seriously affecting our country well there you have it it is americans agree on one thing he'd like to see some news with their news reporting from washington and i kind of say don't r.t. . all of those are for now for more of the stories we covered go to our they've got called flash usa and tucker you to page at youtube dot com slash r t america you can also follow me on twitter as well see you again right here in thirty minutes what drives the world the fear mongering used by politicians who makes decisions. who can you cross no one. is you know if you. see where we had a state controlled.
