ah playing dirty from the windy city to the mile high city police forces are ramping up their efforts to shut down the occupy wall street movement and now opens mayor is alluding toward a coordinated crackdown so to stop the cars in its tracks or fuel it further. that if you're going to afford a rig is going on the move in or one out of the room only pull it for two down the . well do you see a lead sure can maybe that's why the nation's richest counties are located right here in the nation's capital so while the rest of the country tightens its fiscal belt well take a look at the lawmakers on the longest who are living the high life. i'm afraid

what's going on right now it's similar to the war propaganda that went on against iraqis you know they didn't have. weapons of mass destruction it's a case of deja vu for the first accusations are coming out about the russian scientist helping iran develop nuclear weapons and stirring up fear among american lawmakers but given america's shaky track record in iraq should we really be pointing figures without accurate evidence. that evening it is wednesday november sixteenth five pm in washington d.c. i'm christine freeze out there watching our team. where they are bruised but not broken occupy wall street protesters kicked out various occupations around the country including the one where it all started in new york city. well they say

they're not backing down meanwhile they've been taking shifts that's a carney park where they are going to allow to return but not to camp backpacks tents and sleeping bags are banned for protesters were cleared out late monday night early tuesday morning on the orders of new york mayor michael bloomberg but we want to take a closer look at what's gone on over the past few days it wasn't just new york of course we've been telling you this is happening in cities across the country very early this morning about one twenty it was san francisco police raided three encampments and dismantled tents about sixty people have been camping out there there was a similar situation over the weekend with this video you see here is in portland oregon where police in riot gear evicted campers that occupy locations important police arrested more than fifty people in protesters a police used excessive physical violence local authorities say the occupy protests have turned into early there. but check out these photos these are from overnight in seattle washington this is an over older woman eighty four years old four foot

ten you see she's been pepper sprayed in the face we have other pictures you can see these police officers are just using this pepper spray indiscriminately as they use this as a weapon sort of to try to win their war which is to get people to clear out of the way. this photo is of a nineteen year old pregnant woman this woman also pepper sprayed in the face and taken to the hospital police there and they say that they were only using her spray on people who were being assaultive turold towards officers or who were ignoring orders we have some more pictures as well you just see the massive presence of police there in seattle that it took to break up this encampment and finally here's another photo of that woman a pregnant woman as she's been taken away taken to the hospital so it's a little strange you know all of these a versions of occupy movements around the country happened during the same week

many even on the same day most of them very early in the morning and included a very large police presence and this time no access even to the media but it could be a cordon it effort police departments are autonomy it's right well maybe not here's oakland mayor jean kwan in an interview with the b.b.c. i was recently in our current government eighteen surely across the country. and situation where we had started as a political movement in the political. and. that was no longer the people who started it all and with i think you are starting to see is will be occupied is looking for the worst. all right so we have mayor jim klein from oakland saying she's our conference call with city officials from more than eight hundred cities we're also now hearing reports particularly in a news article written in the minneapolis top news examiner and it wasn't just mayors that it was the department of homeland security also in on this this came as

shocking news to many people not shocked though where you host alex jones i spoke to him earlier today from austin texas and i asked him if this is evidence that big brother is alive and well here in the u.s. here's his take. well it is the t.s.a. under homeland security has now set up checkpoints on highways across the united states and are searching people like it's an airport driving on the highway something right out of a third world dictatorship well our borders are pretty much wide open in many areas and federally they're putting in cameras microphones everywhere they have threat fusion centers that are run by the feds sometimes at military bases of the local police departments and fire departments are all moving into so this is a total federalization that violates our tenth amendment why even have states why even have counties and cities if the federal government is running everything and i noticed a few weeks ago you would see concerted on the same day and ten fifteen twenty cities raids on occupy wall street i mean that's obvious it's been concerted when

it happens on the same day same night same morning in the same way same tactics and now it's just admitted and they're brutalizing people now they're crashing over the head with billy clubs they're pepper spraying babies and it's a message of we don't like what you're doing i mean what happened early on was the democratic party try to co-opt this like republicans try to co-opt the tea party and that didn't really succeed and so they've gone from a month ago this was council on foreign relations the federal reserve the obama administration ben bernanke you all endorsing occupy wall street when they thought they could co-opt it are now saying hey i'm out of here and also i discovered austin and in detroit as well as new york we've confirmed. yet when they let homeless people out of it arrested for being drunk in public or sitting on the sidewalk or they're released from prison or homo shelters or mental institutions they tell them go to austin occupy go to new york occupy if we want to rescue their

cell for the last month they've been shimming all the homeless people and mentally ill people and prisoners there so they can then demonize and show you look you're going to the bathroom on the ground when there's a port a potty people are fight sure breaking out there's robberies we've heard as well alex and we've heard as well that on at some of these movements police they used to have a pretty large presence in some of these areas in some of these parts of the city and decided to just abandon those parts so when violence happens they're not there i will say i've spent a lot of time here at occupy k. street here in washington some of the protesters even tell me they've been warned by other protesters that people are being sent in by either homeland security or other agencies trying to get information their concerns and what will go with these you know so-called spies have to gain by infiltrating this movement well they're now trying to blame the shooting at the white house on occupy wall street what do they have to gain they get intelligence so they can then demonize the group they

can set the group said look the system knows with its with its actual reason for calculations that there is an uprising against the corruption on wall street and against a fellow reserve coming but this is not an uprising that's quiet i mean they have all of their actions all of their intentions posted on their websites i mean they don't need and this isn't a secret movement this isn't a it's a peaceful say operation this is a movement that is very open and transparent so why would the homeland security need to be sending people into these parks and into these squares to find out information well. exactly that's why the system knows that there is more political action more demonstrating coming from across the political spectrum show it first they kind of give occupy wall street good press try to make it a democratic type thing so they can at least make it partisan now they're in the business of demonizing it infiltrating it to try to manufacture or dig up dirt on

them as a way to generally. gain and eyes all forms of protest in this country ahead of the food depressionary collapse bank runs and everything else that's in the works you know i see the police in here talk radio demonizing occupy wall street across the board calling a bunch of dirty criminals the new york post called them a rabble which means basically criminal scum this idea that protesting and demonstrating is criminal or his scummy are filthy is really un-american and anti-democratic across the world and so that's my big concern and now we have this immense global taking nine hundred million dollars of people's own bank accounts out of their system and giving it to you mega banks and raiding people's private accounts like you're also led to that broke here yesterday and it's now one of the biggest stories in the country you know why don't we see a perp walk for those criminals who are openly doing this well it turns out that

the head of the c.f.o. he's seen according to reuters is invested deeply with the corps on who runs this m.f. global so so you've got these massive lootings and bank accounts being grabbed at ribbit evasion all these scams going on none of them get in trouble they get multi-trillion dollar citizen paid bailouts and then when citizens are mad about the country going into a depression the media demonizes the people and six military style police on what i saw in new york where they were cracking women in the head for no reason with billy club. and and shooting veterans in the face with rubber bullets and almost killing them in oakland and then to hear the media defending it i mean my god our country's gone from twenty years ago to crime tiananmen square to now basically praising some retired think it's really really scary certainly this this issue you're talking about alex about john corazon and m.f.

global this is one of so many stories that people on occupy wall street are certainly frustrated about but my concern and i think a lot of people's concern and i'm wondering if you have any ideas for this is the messaging war has changed as you said so many people at first said you know these are peaceful protesters you know fighting this corrupt system that's really got out of control and it's not just the media it's you know a lot of people getting involved federal agencies that have really started to amp up to beef up the message that these are nothing more than drunks you know they make headlines when you know this murder happened. and what needs to change here to turn this message war around. well it's a cya again we confirm they're telling the homeless people you're arrested if you sleep anywhere else under a bridge or anywhere you go to occupy this is being a nationwide for at least a month it's a subtle feeling process it's a set up what needs to change is we need to say the first of them it's the first

amendment and whether you agree with what the occupy people are saying or disagree you should support their first amendment right of free speech and also we to get the word out that occupy wall street is a diverse spectrum of ideas from libertarians to socialist to liberals to conservatives and it's an attempt by the mainstream media to brand all protest as basically a bunch of communist you know i don't critical of some of the messages in occupy and i was critical of the obama try to co-opt it and i said if obama is unable to co-opt it they're going to write them and that's now happened so the good news is they failed to co-opt this movement and so that's why you're going to see the system turned loose on him and so we need to stand with occupy wall street now that they're being attacked now is the time and we need to have more people like yourself which are doing but other so-called media here in the us need to step up to the plate and point out that they are telling the people being released from prison ills mental institutions homeless you name it go to occupy that's where the

free food is and it's all a big joke as you said they pull the cops back. and basically advertise this is a place to engage in crime to demonize it and i will i will mention at least that are some of the some of the organizers more well established people involved in occupy wall street say you know they don't mind helping these homeless people that a lot of these homeless people is mentally ill people are simply victims of the system at a time alex want to thank you radio host alex jones and austin texas. well one of the issues protesters with occupy wall street are pretty angry about is that too close for comfort relationship between wall street and washington and never before is that more apparent then with new information the two thousand and ten census data it appears there have been some changes in the way we do business here in washington the biggest change is how much business is apparently being done here how much money the city now rakes in and how many people are living large as a result according to these numbers washington d.c.

now has the lowest poverty rate in the country surpassing even places like tech capital silicon valley california but that's not the whole story so i want to take a look into these numbers and what they actually mean. and the winner is launching to the district of columbia this house is just one of many burst of luxury and not for sale but what happens here and here and here played a major role in some changes in the latest u.s. census data the washington d.c. metropolitan area today has the lowest poverty rate in the country eight point four percent money is a magnet and it pulls people here to make more money and that made clear as well in a survey of median household income with four out of the five wealthiest counties also in the d.c. metro area and its surrounding suburbs one of those places is fairfax county virginia home to the national counterterrorism center the cia and it's located less

than twenty miles outside of downtown washington now for those who work inside the city it's a fairly easy commute. and not a bad one when you're coming home to this or this on a foreclosed sign or even a for sale sign in sight big houses are needed after all for those with big bank accounts we're seeing more and more new zealand military contractors coming to washington telecom and a lot of wall street firms opening up what was your you had a lot of big issues happening with last few years health care reform financial reform that brought in insurers wall street types all kinds of people who are looking to make the process work for their bottom lines chris fraser the lobby and correspondent for the national journal and says big companies put big bets in washington because they almost always pay off if you're a huge company if you're able to take that ten million dollar investment and find

a tax loophole that saves you a billion dollars a year that's a very smart investment. on the streets of washington these have become a familiar sight and it's no wonder i watch news found there has been a seventy three percent. increase in government owns limousines in the last two years from two hundred thirty eight in two thousand and eight to four hundred twelve in two thousand and ten. a few miles south and east it is a different set of wheels you'll more likely see the city bus. the people who live here more aware of the other extreme statistic that came out of last year's census that d.c. has the highest rate of those considered course of the poor those who live at fifty percent or less of the official poverty level i think there's a boundary is a line drawn somewhere. i guess separating the anacostia river here could be that line the proverbial train tracks where life on the other side is almost

another world and where many have been pushed to getting priced out of their homes a lot of people afford to rent is going on today they moved everyone out i mean around when we. were down out of even here people are getting pushed further outside even actions were more widespread used to call. you know and we were now you know what i mean so one man. i mean the richest coming and coming they did transforming the u.s. capital into a microcosm of the nation with a goal between rich and poor continues to deepen in washington christine. all right so this notion of a system failure not just the message on occupy wall street not just here in d.c. people here in washington are angry but you know they're part of the growth and system but they're trying to make some changes mainly in the way the government

spends its money tasked with making those fixes the super committee six republicans and six democrats from both the house and senate but the clock is ticking and either of these numbers or are being extremely tight lipped things are not moving forward as quickly as expected and this is a topic fiscal times staff writer jennifer de paul has been covering been covering the super committee since its inception know what's going on here why are things taking so long to get done well you know part of the reason is right now there have been these secret behind door meetings and right after the past two weeks democrats republicans and separately each other on proposals one isn't good enough where one isn't going out so they're sort of in limbo right here. penciling where the co-chairs were saying that republicans have gone as far as they can i read news this morning the other co-chair patty murray was saying that they're just not going to accept any perp. those are those that have tax cuts for the the wealthiest people in america so there is this it's come down soon in taxes which have been

stumbling blocks before and that's why i wanted to say you know i don't want to oversimplify what's going on here but. this isn't rocket science to some extent i mean most people in america think that these people were tasked with coming to the table to decide what to cut and where to raise taxes but it seems to me you know and of course we don't know a lot about what's exactly going on behind these closed doors but some are saying there is a civil war brewing within the republican party in terms of those on the super committee and some of those more realistic who say we have to allow some tax increases somewhere and those who are going to stick to their guns and say no means no no where when what's going on with the republican party what can they do next well i think you're right about the civil war brewing there in the fact that is there are some republicans who do realize that revenues need to be part of this stuff that package and there's just no way other way around it and other republicans are sticking by their anti-tax pledge that they gave to americans for tax reform grover norquist and so there is sort of this given take there in you're

right there is this battle and so it really time will tell in the next week you know if republicans can move past that one of the complications here is certainly the outside influence that's going on i mean i would assume that if you're a lobbyist in d.c. these are the people that you want to lobby lobby heaviest because they are going to have a lot of power in terms of what gets cut what gets to stay a lot of these members are extremely influential already people like max baucus john john kerry they've been in office for decades now. how can these people be slated with even doing this based on the dollars that have come in i mean it seems to me this is a little bit like the fox guarding the hen house i mean you're right there i mean especially the health care industry they're one of the leading lobbyists on this for you know on the committee but you know i think that the members are committed they know they have to get this in or we have a rising deficit that's getting out of control in. hopefully they can get its act

you know within the within the week has it been difficult to cover this john i mean as a reporter you know you're you're supposed to cover this and it's so tight lipped. and to be honest i don't think really anyone knows what's going on except he's in his meetings even staffers aren't even allowed in the meetings and you know even that one or two staffers per person it's very secretive and i know that's going to be a concern since the committee started is this. transit you know part about the super committee but i do think one thing is interesting is that. you know in the the debt deal that we had over the summer and this big government shutdown the stakes this time aren't as high you know we're not going to the government's not going to shut down there isn't going to be a fall it's uncertain really if they're going to get a credit downgrade but you know and i think that's why you know congress has been going to the eleventh hour so just for people who you know who don't know all the details here one point two trillion is what they need to cut but if they don't come to an agreement one which you trillion will be cut anyway is right it's across the

board automatic cuts in fifty percent go to defense and fifty percent will go to domestic programs and that's why we're also seeing a lot of lobbying from defense contractors lockheed martin and they're very saying you better come to a decision right because they have already had the four hundred billion dollars in cuts from the administration this year if there's more six hundred billion trillion dollars over the next decade which would be catastrophic and you know leon panetta has said that too so we have about one week to go it will be interesting to see what comes out of this i know a lot of people are wondering. it's pessimistic right now i know that c.n.n. had a poll out this morning that was saying about eighty percent of americans don't think they're going to make it and there's been a report that the white house is sort of bracing for this failure so when there are people wondering why can't we all just get along so friday for the fiscal time saying it's all thanks. well still ahead here on our team america's got a new middle eastern bogeyman to fear not talking about iraq and its so-called weapons of mass destruction but it sure sounds like it so why hasn't the u.s.

learn from its lesson the last time it pointed fingers without evidence. to the. test nobody seems to know. but never faced the argument that they're being overly dramatic.

i'm let's hear. what drives the world the fear mongering used by politicians who makes decisions create through. who can you trust no one. with the global mission to receive where we had a state controlled capital school sessions when nobody dares to ask we do. question more.

let's turn now to the fall out here in the u.s. after the release of that report from the international atomic energy agency quite a bit of hysteria over the iranian nuclear program with the same figures that accused iraq of possessing weapons of mass destruction leading the charge so iran has long been a hot topic in the west and anti iranian sentiments are at a high right now and there is talk about of foreign scientists possibly from russia having outside influence and aiding iran in these so-called efforts largely correspond and he said now it takes a deeper look at some of the talk that has been circulating.

iran has long been a hot topic. but. the greatest threat that america in the world faces and faced was a nuclear iran but it's heated not since last week's report from the un's nuclear watchdog sparking fears iran was pursuing atomic weapons the i.a.e.a. says iran developed a high explosives in this sheesh and system a detonator with the help of a foreign expert question that current expert is called it to resign and who is the russian by some western movie out even though the i.a.e.a. report doesn't name him and he's not russian by ukrainian any year is how former weapons inspector david albright talks suffered in silence his nuclear credentials on c.n.n. with weapons showed him how to build a thin hemispherical shell with holes in it and they were the detonation happens

and you simultaneously set off explosive pellets in a series of holes in that amount of shell and those explosive pell pellets ignite the high explosive underneath and in a very spiritual way compresses the core and then you get a nuclear explosion i just love that he is a scientist but not a nuclear specialist those who actually know danny davis. because he worked in a nuclear facility but not every person who does is a nucleus specialist he's actually trained to construct the airplanes to you and it's not the i am a that is questioning him now but journalists the audience nevertheless all right accuses the young guy who specializes in nano diamonds in iran working with the iranians to help them miniaturize their nuclear warhead so they can put it on top of one of their missiles so it can be fired specter outright has history of pointing fingers just as for iraq was invaded east and then in two thousand and two. in terms of the chemical and biological weapons iraq has those

now how many how could they deliver them i mean these are big questions then backtrack to the l a times once no w m d's were discovered in iraq. if there are no weapons of mass destruction i'll be mad as hell i certainly accepted the administration's claims on chemical and biological weapons i figured they were telling the truth and some us politicians think non-truths could be repeating with iran i'm afraid what's going on right now it's similar to the war propaganda when i want to guess to wrack you know they didn't have no weapons of mass destruction but there were enough official reports implying otherwise in terms of the report there is limited information a lot of the reason it's limited is because it's most likely that iran does not it is you know it is the case iran does not have

a nuclear weapons program out right there promoting days of who could be called critics say the public especially in the us are about to be inundated with another flood of so-called expert analysis the where of a dangerous mideast country that's presumably hiding secret nuclear weapons and may require a military strike the difference this time it's iran not iraq he's now artsy moscow all right as that is all the time we have but for more on the stories we covered that r.t. dot com slash usa or youtube dot com slash r t america you can follow me on twitter at christine for. internal we're on there with the mechanisms do not work to bring justice accountability. i have every right to know what my government's doing or want to know why i pay taxes.
