pin thirty one one of forty two thing of blood american citizens and it is of no use the world is the battlefield including the homeland from the war zone to your home the u.s. senate is looking to redefine the battle lines and extend their military might both abroad and on the home front all in pursuit of national security so whatever happened to civil liberties they can go where people will still forty three thousand dollars for all they want and that's were ok sugar we are but what about on the workers from the bottom up money is literally hemorrhaging out of iraq money that was meant to help rebuild the nation after a decade of war so why is nothing being done to stop the corruption that's costing

u.s. taxpayers billions. and from counting money in iraq to counting votes in egypt millions had to the polls to cast their vote in what many towns as the first fair election in decades when others are boycotting the ballot box and taking to tahrir square r.t. is there with the very latest on the egyptian elections. it is tuesday november twenty ninth four pm in washington d.c. i'm christine for zero if you're watching our team well let's begin this afternoon with something u.s. lawmakers are cooking up as we speak it's a bill in the u.s. senate called the national defense authorization act and may be voted on as soon as tomorrow but with most bills it is chock full of flowery language about protecting the homeland and giving the military the tools they need to. do their job but the

bill also does something unprecedented it gives the president this one and the next ones the authority to indefinitely imprison people without charge or trial both in other countries and here in the united states but don't take my word for it take a look at this here is text of the senate bill eight hundred sixty seven congress affirms that the authority of the president to use all necessary and appropriate force pursuant to the authorization for use of military force includes the authority of the armed forces of the united states to detain covered persons pending disposition under the law of war all right not example not exactly simple language here so why don't i play something for you from one of the bill's backers senator lindsey graham from south carolina this is what he said on the senate floor a few weeks ago. in thirty two the military custody provision which has waivers and a lot of flexibility doesn't apply to americans sort of ten thirty one the statement of forty detain does the plot of american citizens and it doesn't know

the world is the battlefield including the homeland of the battlefield says senator graham is right here in your front yard and mine and he says american citizens if they are suspects suspects well that they should be able to be detained and held without charge why well in the name of information gathering it seems we're simply saying you have the option to make sure that you can put intelligence gathering as the top priority. now this isn't just republicans the bill sponsors are republican senator john mccain and democratic senator carl levin who brings up a situation in which a member of al qaeda gets onto u.s. soil and attacks a military base senator levin wants to make sure that that person is able to be detained by the military in that situation that's the reason now i should mention president obama has threatened to veto the bill if the indefinite detention without

charge or trial provisions are not removed but an amendment by senators mark udall and jim webb to strip those provisions from the bill just failed on the senate floor moments ago so what is going on here where is all that talk about sticking to the constitution is a question radio host alex jones for one is asking so we want to talk to him about it. alex there's a lot of talk about you know there's a lot of talk about this but there's very few people talking about it as well in the mainstream media now i'll get to the lack of coverage on the mainstream media in a second but let's just get to the bill itself what do you make of this. well christine there's a story and side of the story i have for sixteen years or more have been pointing out that there is a open plan to start using the u.s. military on the streets of america and in the my act and homeland security reports that law enforcement gave me over three years ago it states none of this has to do with al qaida it's all about returning vets gun owners libertarians conservatives

and you or activist who are listed as terrorist in these databases that's in the news today so the bill itself is incredibly a grievous but it just expands upon the military commissions act and other things where they now kill u.s. citizens abroad and say they'll kill him domestically so they're setting that precedent always claiming well it's for al qaeda because they're so scary but when you get to the meat potatoes they want to use this against the american people and just a few years ago they'd say it's preposterous we don't want to use the army and marines against the american people why that's charity that's a third world country you know that's martial law now they're like well yes we want to keep you safe from al qaeda but it's in the london telegraph and all of the news that al qaeda under nato control has been given libya is now being sent to syria was used course in the eighty's against the russians used against the serbs in the ninety's i mean this is a joke al qaeda is the bogeyman they used to do this but the whole thing is pointed

at the american people but here's the key when we started reporting this last week when they brought this bill up it has a section saying americans are exempt but that has another section saying unless we say so so it's got the fine print. and then i had noticed all these ip addresses hitting our article within minutes of it going up which they don't even hide it goes back to military bases of p.r. firms they were ready saying i was a liar and force dot com was lying using the lying section and in fact it was in the grand rapids press congressman justin amash said quote it's carefully crafted to mislead the public they had all the war mongering neo cons and others come out in the last week and say it's not in there it's not true it doesn't affect citizens a few things out of the things that you want that you mentioned as you brought up a lot of good points here one thing is that you said a few years ago people would find something like this outrageous prosperous it is surprising on one level today but this treatment being detained and held without

charge even tortured has already happened to an american citizen on american soil private first class bradley manning accused of leaking those classified documents to the whistle blowing web site wiki leaks so if this is already being done what's the point of having congress vote on it. well they want to say it's the law like hitler passed laws saying you can round up groups he wanted we had laws in this country saying blacks weren't human beings doesn't mean it's right tyrants always want to say they have along their side but as marbury vs madison supreme court case states anything that's of horror to common law the constitution or organic law is now in void they can pass a law tamara saying all you know children with with black hair have to you know show up at the local government building to become slaves i mean it's a fraud we have a right to resist that and the military industrial complex owned by the big banks has hijacked america i keep explaining this to people and now it doesn't just want

to dominate the third world or the middle east or asia or in circle other countries in europe it wants to dominate this country and the military industrial complex is a bunch off for corporations they run the red light cameras they run the federalization local police they're just occupying america through north com they set it all up for this clinton bush obama it's all just continuing and you're right obama is saying he'll veto this is getting attention but he's already gone along with saying they can secretly arrest and torture and it says and here you can be grabbed and no one ever even knows where you go for ever i mean this is literally right out of stalin stalinist russia maoist china pol pot type stuff this is right out of east germany right out of nazi germany this is one hundred percent naked classical nineteen eighty-four in your face tyranny and they sit there and waddle

around up there congress it's come out most of these members who have a nine percent approval rating know the american people are awake to him they say it's legal that they're allowed to insider trade and give government contracts and pass bills for companies their wives and husbands own they set up there most of them. blackmailed criminals and say we're allowed insider trade which is a felony all right allan i mean certainly that was another big story that we talked about here on our team really important to talk about but i really want to stick to this especially saying the cook telling the cooks that want to military to protect their criminal activity i'm sorry and that's ok i want to talk about this specifically and the coverage of it as we said this is happening right now certainly congress and what lawmakers is working on in the priority for much of the mainstream media c.n.n. and d.c. fox they have congressional correspondents why haven't we seen this covered because it's a pentagon run psyop of the american people are the enemy america has been hijacked and they listen we had pentagon department of defense spammers hit our site when

this went up within minutes they were waiting with the part of the bill that says you're exempt in that carefully crafted deception that the congressman talked about to mislead the public they were waiting hitting within one hundred twenty seconds ok so first they said it doesn't exist now that it's come out they're saying ok it's good for you because they don't want this debate to go forward they want to be able to go it is going to tell the troops the carefully chosen god raise now you're ready to operate america listen they've been operating for twenty years secretly in police uniforms i've interviewed the people they've been doing gun confiscation drills that i've been to i have literally had if i told you the stories it's it's in my police state films it's like a movie there is a giant secret government program that now wants to unquote it's already here. let's broaden this to about alex i want to show you the cover of time magazine this

week first i want to show you the cover of time in europe in asia and in south pacific. this basically shows a fighter wearing a gas mask in a village still very much in the midst of chaos and asks the question i know it's hard to read but it says our free elections and the promise of an arab spring at risk and under the larger title of revolution redux and i want to show you this week's cover of time here in the u.s. it basically says why anxiety is good for you hopefully you can see this everywhere else in the world they're talking about the arab spring they're showing a picture of revolution of chaos in the streets and here we have a little cartoon guy you know tying a little piece of yarn under the headline why anxiety is good for you let's talk about that in terms of the mainstream media and the coverage of bills that you know things that washington lawmakers are working on right now that are just getting know what tension. well you're right i mean the corporate press to two new world

order media fifty years ago the us was number one in education number one in being informed now we are the least informed of the industrialized world by design and we are spoon fed propaganda we're not told how the rest of the world sees us and they try to keep us in this cocoon and so i praise r.t. for covering this i mean literally that this is right out of one nine hundred thirty three germany with hitler you know saying that the rice tag has been attacked i can indefinitely arrest and detain whoever i want i mean this is one hundred percent nightmare that they would be openly doing this but they're only able to get away with this because as you pointed out foxing in the rest of them won't cover it and the few little mentions are yeah they're going to secretly arrest you to keep you safe i mean my god let's say terrorism was real and not manufactured most of it i'm a thousand times more scared of a big giant military industrial complex with snatch and grab teams that can just

disappear people which we know they've been beta testing of the g. twenty in pittsburgh they would have military grabbed folks off the street put them in cars i later learned they were actors but they would do it in front of the media to test it and to see what the public did and i learned in london i learned in toronto i learned in other places the g twenty test this they are it's scientifically studying and seeing if they can get away with this staging snatch and grabs in front of news cameras and the news is like not even covering it and they're like ok the of the media is going to let us pull up and grab peaceful people and thrown in black pants let's do it for real this is scientific psyop we're under attack as i've told you it's not a joke mayday mayday i wish people would have done this in germany in the one nine hundred thirty s. we are in a red level crisis the people that have seized our government are preparing to launch world war three. the middle east if they're just balloons are successful

alice i just want to to wrap this segment up with one final question about the specific. the bill that's taking place eight hundred sixty seven in congress the national defense authorization act. you said that people in the higher ups in the military and in government that they want to try to hide this but the fact is you can't hide a bill that's in congress you go on the internet and you can find the exact text of the bill. how are they going to hide it how do you see this playing out in terms of you can write a couple things church or first and yet everybody the a.c.l.u. ron paul rand paul with really doesn't do their know though it's it doesn't arrest citizens and you know you just have the military involved a mess to clean now they're not just going to arrest you you're going to disappear they say they could torture you and the accompanying legislation they've already passed the going to a literal black hole and so first they run the sile but it doesn't exist when we force the fact that it exist they just let the alternative media the real media

cover it and hope people don't wake up to it so they can slip it through and then incrementally implement and so that's the plan listen from alabama to california i have the local news articles from iowa to tennessee going back at least five years every week they have regular army and marines i have video at checkpoints pulling families out of their cars you pull up with your wife or children and there are state police with marines acting like you are terrorist greg out of the car searching you it's all about breaking our will training us to accept this this is already been going on just like bush was spying without warrants for many years before it came out it was illegal they used to pass a law saying no more warrants needed in america ready doing this and we will certainly keep our eyes on this but we do appreciate you weighing in and for really being focused in on the story radio host alex jones in austin texas thank you christine well turn out to you. iraq vice president joe biden has just arrived in baghdad for a surprise visit and to mark the end of the war in iraq as u.s.

troops there prepare for withdrawal nearly all the forces by the end of the year but they're not leaving the country as they found it not by any stretch and new questions are emerging about what may have been taken from the country in terms of money with reports surfacing and even arrests being made in the cases of soldiers trying to make some cash on the side. to con looks into this in her report. not everyone leaves the war zone empty handed the number of people indicted and convicted by the us for bribery fraud and theft in iraq and afghanistan has never been so high among those a marine in iraq who sent home forty three thousand dollars in stolen cash by hiding it in a food locker among american flags a soldier who shipped thousands more concealed in a toy stuffed animals they can go after people to steal forty three thousand dollars all they want necessary ok they should go after them but what about on the

larger scale in two thousand and six michael o'brien was tasked with helping build the iraqi military he says those who have pocketed mili is enjoyed complete impunity they rebuilt an iraqi army base and i'm telling you the condition of the space and this is just one example was so deplorable it was so pathetic and when i asked the american construction project manager well what did this cost how much money went into this i really thought he was going to say three million or five million is one hundred sixteen million dollars my jaw dropped the commission on wartime contracting estimated that between thirty one to sixty billion dollars has been lost to waste and fraud in iraq and afghanistan the figures seem even more staggering considering the overall amount the u.s. has committed to rebuilding iraq roughly sixty two billion dollars we did get around beer and was the head of an iraqi reconstruction team working for the u.s.

they department the squandering of resources occurred at very small levels of thousand dollars a couple thousand dollars here and there and zoomed all the way up into hundreds of millions of dollars that were spent on hospitals that never opened or prisons that never took any prisoners in the commission on wartime contracting is out of business now after congress cut its funding. the details of their probe see. until two thousand and thirty one they don't want certain people in high places. to come under scrutiny that the u.s. congress wants to put up with the debacle of our iraq invasion be hauling to it the scope of the waste and fraud is enormous the u.s. justice system goes after individuals who have stolen a few thousand dollars here and there but not after the big players the big contractors that have really made a killing on the wars i'm going to check on reporting from washington our team.

also had me on our team millions of egyptians had to the ballot box in the first election since the end of hosni mubarak's rule so in this first great litmus test since the country's uprising what outcome can we expect to see that story next. let's not forget that we've had in a park party regime great. i

think rock the bombing be the one point well. we never got the book says they're going to keep you safe get ready because you're going to their freedom. well it is day two of elections in egypt in the first parliamentary election since the ouster of former president hosni mubarak so our polling stations have seen a decent sized turnout just a few days after an entire week of violent clashes that looked in part like the early part of the revolution in egypt earlier this year more than forty people were killed last week as hundreds amanda the military rulers hand over power to a civilian government the voting is the start to a long process that won't end until march and as our to correspondent and he's in

now i reports not everyone is on board with the voting and not everyone is optimistic about what kind of change the future may hold she's in cairo with more. many fewer people out on the streets almost no lines at polling stations on the second day a lot different than what we saw on monday a lot of people excited to go out and vote however some people back here on top gear and around cairo that we spoke to actually took a stand to boycott the vote saying that they wouldn't take part in the elections that were actually legitimate they were that were being controlled by the supreme council of the armed forces or scouse other people that we spoke to it seems the council really split into two sections where the people that count that they had to vote even though that they expected there would be irregularities and that it would exactly be the most legitimate if they felt that if they just stood by and let this vote pass without having their say and then all those months of coming out here on to talk here would go to nothing there's been examples of parties campaigning up

into the last minute even today we saw cars with megaphones campaigning right from the polling stations we heard rumors in fact about children being told to take pamphlets and go to these polling stations and hand out slips as people were entering the booths the muslim brotherhood is known to have set up laptops right outside polling stations and help people because we're hearing that the actual system that was created is very confusing a lot of egyptians don't actually get the actual system what they're excited about is actually being able to take part in this election which a lot of analysts are saying is most certainly a real election and it's real kind of that's the problem is is that they're voting for a parliament that essentially will have no power we heard an announcement from the head of the military just before this vote that the the parliament won't be able to appoint the cabinet it will be able to dismiss the cabinet so the real question now when we take through the will go into this third round which will happen sometime next year and then a parliament will go into session in march is what will they be able to do for the new egypt if the power is still in the hands of the military and that was already

correspondent and he said now way on the ground in cairo. well as the west continues to struggle financially it's the east that appears to be making bank nowhere is that clearer than in china where strategic investments are being made and making it so its presence is felt throughout europe are reports on the new growing chinese control across e.u. economies. the fashion capital of the world where you can be sure to sponsor an emerging trend but right now it's the economy here that's been guessing i'm a cave with the west seeking eastern inspiration. and you guys want to still get the italian business model with its focus on fine and expensive production business here is seeing this competition from its chinese counterparts with their emphasis on see. some of the high streets here in the chinese influence isn't hard

to spot with you it's a commie struggling countries like china and a better time to snuff out the bug and such is the acquisition this year of the well known italian fashion brands rechy by a chinese luxury clothing retailer for. china. i suppose. to catch the west struggles it's been the emerging crepes the brics that is brazil russia india china and south africa the define pairing ahead this is really kind of a moment where you might look back and say this is the chance where emerging markets finally got their opportunity to become much bigger players and much bigger powers around the world take a look at the g.d.p. growth to china and italy well thessaly stagnating economy has resulted in

a great slump china in comparison has been full steam ahead emerging as a major manufacturing base but was chinese business is a preview of strong competition china is being cautious when it comes to buying up your debts the you must be told to more to the valuable. help industries instead of arriving a bland is chinese investments in western companies and infrastructure grows so you to just china's control and influence across the entire european economy with the chinese trade and investment delegation g. to visit year next year further investment seem extremely likely. that we call it. could be very very. you know due to. financial crises as the crisis

continues to readjust the economic leaders on the global stage emerging economies such as china looks set to remain firmly in the spotlight surface. well i was going to do it for this newscast but the capital account is up next on our t.v. i want to check in with laura lister to see is what is on the agenda lauren what do you got for us christine you know we are going to delve into something today that everyone should know about and i don't know why there are a large being raised all over the place in this city because derivatives everybody became acquainted with these during the two thousand and eight financial crisis because of the hazard that they posed and the risk and the defaults we saw now three years later derivatives the over the counter notional exposure of financial institutions all over the world have reached the highest level ever recorded in history christine more than seven hundred trillion dollars to give you something to
