free. free. free. free bird video for your media project c.e.o. don carty dot com. ten thirty one the statement of the already do thing does a plot of american citizens and it does ignite the world as 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 all they want ok sugar free but what about on the war. 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 it's cost u.s.

taxpayers billions of dollars. and i'm counting money in iraq to counting votes in egypt millions head to the polls to cast their vote what many tell as the first fair election in decades others are borg boycotting the ballot box and taking to tahrir square r.t. is there with the very latest on the egyptian elections this is really kind of a moment where you might look back and say this is the chance where merging markets finally got their opportunity the east meets west as the eurozone continues to crumble it seems europe is getting a helping hand from some unlikely friends china to be exact so could this be key to the e.u. financial fortune. good evening it is tuesday november twenty ninth seven pm in washington d.c. i'm christine for watching our team. well to begin this hour with something that's

going on here in washington something u.s. lawmakers are working on that you probably haven't heard about it's a bill in the u.s. senate paul the national defense authorization act and may be voted on as soon as tomorrow as with most of 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 and that 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 inside the united states but don't take my word for it take a look at this here is the text of the bill senate bill eight hundred sixty seven it says congress affirms but the authority of the president to use all necessary and appropriate force pursuant to the authorization for use of military force includes the authority for the on for armed forces of the united states to detain and covered persons pending disposition under the law of war all right so i got to

exactly simple language so why don't i play something for you that one of the bill's backers senator lindsey graham from south carolina said on the senate floor today is it ok to hold an american citizen who's suspected of helping al qaeda under military control you better believe it's ok you better believe it graham earlier this month talked about this bill and said it makes it so the battlefield is right here in your front yard and mine and he says american citizens if they are suspects suspects well they should be able to be detained and held without charge why while it seems that in the name of information gathering. we're simply saying that you have the option to make sure that you can put intelligence gathering at the top priority right now i should mention this isn't just republicans the bill sponsors are republican senator john mccain and democratic

senator carl levin who brings up a situation when he spoke to reporters he talked about well you know what if a member of al qaeda gets onto u.s. soil and attacks a military base senator levin wanted to make sure that this person would be able to be detained by the military in that situation that's the reason now i should mention president obama has threatened to veto this 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 failed on the senate floor today so what is going on here well not talk about sticking to the constitution it's a question radio host alex jones is asking as well i spoke to him earlier and i started off just by asking him what he makes of this bill and what it could mean for the u.s. take a listen. there's a story inside of this story i've 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 antiwar activist who are listed as terrorist in these databases so that's in the news today so the bill itself is incredibly agree just 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 president 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 and 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 i say 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 proposed or as 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 could round up groups he wanted we had laws of 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 supports to common law the constitution or organic law is null and void they can pass a law to mara 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 sitting there couldn't tell the crooks that want to military to protect their criminal activity i'm sorry and that's ok my idea 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 the b.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 us 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 and going to tell the troops the carefully chosen godrej now you're ready to operate america listen they've been operating for twenty years secretly in police uniform 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 to

a program that now wants to uncloak it's already here. let's broaden this to about alex i want to show you on 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 it 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 no what tension well you're right i mean the pressure the new world order media fifty years ago the u.s. was number one in education number one in being informed now we are the least in form of the industrialized world by design and we are spoon fed propaganda we're not told how the rest of the world. and they try to keep us in this case. and that was radio host alex jones. well vice president joe biden has arrived in baghdad for a surprise visit to iraq and to mark the end of the war there as u.s. troops prepare for withdraw nearly all their forces by the end of this 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 taken place or 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

a little cash on the side art is going to take on looks into this in this report. not everyone sees the war zone empty handed the number of people indicted and convicted by the us full 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 foot locker and long american flag a soldier who shapes thousands more concealed in a toy stuffed animal they can go after people to steal forty three thousand dollars all they want necessary ok they should go after but what about on a larger scale in two thousand and six michael o'brien was tasked with helping build the iraqi military he says those who have pocketed melian enjoyed complete impunity they rebuilt an iraqi army base and i'm telling you the condition of this base 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 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. is committed to rebuilding iraq roughly sixty two billion dollars we did get around buran was the head of an iraqi reconstruction team working for the u.s. they department the 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 people in high places. to come under scrutiny with the us congress wants to put the debacle of our iraq invasion behind 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 r t and when it comes to waste and fraud certainly iraq is not the only country where this goes on but it is a country the u.s. military promised to help rebuild and in some ways they've done that but as you just saw there are other ways in which u.s. military personnel have destroyed the land as well as the as the trust of the u.s. iraq relationship and now sixty eight billion dollars of taxpayer money was wasted

or stolen in iraq and afghanistan it's as if it vanished into thin air so how much can that money be unaccounted for while for some answers i spoke to a blogger an iraqi american political activist right. money does not disappear but someone is thinking that you know this tens of billions of dollars that were spent by the iraqi government and by the u.s. government they did not vanish in the they were taken by someone and this someone. dropped a public official or a corrupt contractor we were talking about hundreds of billions of dollars that were spent by the us government and the other hundreds of billions of dollars that were spent by the iraqi government and their arc until today has no electricity has no water street. so you can't really see where the money has been spent in the country i know it's so interesting when you see where the money we're supposed to

go several million dollars was supposed to go to a school that never opened or several million was supposed to go to a prison that's not even holding anyone what's going on with you know the bookkeeping here isn't there anyone responsible for this i think the us occupation of iraq created a new culture a culture of corruption and no accountability and that is from the us and from the iraqi side. now it is one of the most corrupt countries in the world it's actually the fourth most corrupt country in the world according to transparency international the situation is that even mr but when i go there you can feel the level of corruption in different every transaction. you know transactions with small organisations with small companies with the government itself everything is corrupt there is no accountability and unfortunately the us presence did not make any better it actually made it worse

what do you mean when you say when you visit iraq you can actually feel the corruption i mean here in the us for the most part you know we go to the store we buy something based on how much we see the cost we give the money we get the item that. i mean is that what you mean in terms of you know just market places and even even on that scale in iraq i think the corruption that you see when i go to iraq i see it on two different to one of them is the court option or people who want to take commission for example which is very common. people what they think expects from government spending or private spending but it's extremely common to actually becoming a new norm in the country or that is the corruption of nor accountability people who are spending u.s. taxpayers money or iraqi money have not accountability this spend tens of thousands of dollars on issues that are completely inappropriate was that it was about the

u.s. diplomatic presence that organizations affiliated with the u.s. diplomatic presence whether it was the iraqi government or contractors affiliated with the government unfortunately there is no accountability on how much money they have been spending in iraq so you go there and you see the amounts of money that are being spent are unbelievable and there is no one who ask any questions from the iraqi side or from the u.s. so let's talk about this problem because this is multilayered and i think it's really important that you say because i know there's been a lot of finger pointing oh it's all the iraqi people that are taking it all the u.s. people are taking i mean i think everyone seems to sort of have their hand in the cookie jar on the one hand you have these multibillion dollar corporations these contractors that are literally in iraq they're supposed to be rebuilding infrastructure supposedly building you know major buildings money on a large scale is disappearing on that and then you have as guy in charge in her report you have soldiers who are sending you know several thousand dollars forty

thousand dollars home you know in a teddy bear because they come across that and then you know you also have iraqis either you know iraqi bankers or iraqis working with the u.s. that are also taking the money how does. any you. in a few times there is no accountability but how can there be any accountability in the future when i think as long as the u.s. occupied iraq there was no possibility that iraq will become a transparent and accountable country now with the us the part of the military to watch out i think that is more hope that iraqis will manage to better governance system that has more legitimacy and has more accountability and can account to where the money is being spent so it is something that must come from within many people for the accountability and of course the option to come from abroad from the us the us invasion unfortunately that made the situation worse

a lot of money actually belongs to the iraqi people as we say and there's talk right now that some of the people in iraq plan to file lawsuits to recover it how they go about doing that considering that there's very little evidence you can't pull out the paperwork that says you know this infantry division was given x. amount of dollars and didn't use it i mean there seems to be no paperwork even so how do these lawsuits actually bring forth any action that are actually you know of many lawsuits that are being being considered by the u.s. courts of iraq iraq you suing the u.s. army the u.s. army corps of engineers or other u.s. institutions because of disputes i think there are some limits to how much money can be stored in without evidence but more importantly than that. i think iraq and iraqis seem to be taking some steps towards requesting compensation for the destruction that happened in the country and this does have

a lot of precedence i think iraq is involved. in a compensation system iraq is being five percent of its revenue to kuwait as compensation to the iraqi invasion of kuwait in one thousand nine hundred eighty one and this is we're talking about hundreds of billions of dollars worth of compensation to those iraqis who were killed injured displaced or to iraq as a nation that has been destroyed because of the twenty years war with the united states so it's a huge issue i think how does this issue though right affect the relationship between the u.s. and the iraqi people certainly i can't imagine that relationship is anywhere near good right now considering as you say you know before the u.s. came to occupy the country back in two thousand and three there was electricity there was infrastructure a lot of that's now been destroyed and has not been rebuilt but how does this stories like this which aren't really being reported on the mainstream media but

are out there nonetheless how do stories like this a fact that relationship does the fact that in many ways i think the u.s. image in iraq has been destroyed not only because iraq you saw the u.s. as a ford and b. that not only because of the images of the group but also because of the saudis of course the option. of the u.s. and iraqi authorities to provide archy's with with services i think you know the size of the story is so enormous and without having a strong national government in iraq that can actually hold all of the people who have stored and money accountable we'll never know the size of the court option or the size of the crazy thing too that the investigations that have been done on the u.s. side of it the findings will be sealed until twenty thirty one crazy that that kind of stuff can still happen rage or are blogger and iraqi american political activist thanks so much. all right well today was day two elections in egypt and the first

parliamentary election since the ouster of former president hosni mubarak so far polling stations have seen a decent sized turnout just a few days after an entire week of very violent clashes that looked in part like the early parts of the revolution in egypt back earlier this year more than forty people were killed as hundreds and thousands demanded the military rulers hand over power to a civilian government the voting is the start to a long process that will not end until march and as our correspondent and he said now a reports on 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 this 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 career 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 that they had to vote even though that they expected there would be irregularities and that it would exactly be the most legitimate vote 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 hand 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 it is that the department 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 go into the 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 a on the ground in cairo. was the west continues to struggle financially it's the east that's making bank nowhere is that more clear than in china where strategic investments are being made and making it so its presence is felt throughout europe r.t. sara for three reports now on the growing chinese control across european union 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 east an inspiration concept and you're going to want to so that's a good business model with its focus on slow fine and expensive production business here is seeing this competition from its chinese counterparts but their emphasis on fast good will cologne some of the high streets here in the chinese influence isn't hard to spot with you it's economy struggling countries like china think better time to snap up a bargain such as the acquisition this year of the well known italian fashion brands by a chinese luxury clothing retailer for. china. i suppose. to catch will still west

struggles it's been the emerging greats the brics that is brazil russia india china and south africa the defeat powering 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 this least that meeting economy has resulted in a great slump china in comparison has been full steam ahead emerging as a major manufacturing base that was chinese businesses of previous strong competition china's being cautious when it comes to buying up your debts the investment should be targeted more to the valuable. help industries instead of arriving a bland is chinese investments in western companies and infrastructure grows so 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 investments seem extremely likely. that we call a big. could be a very big. 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 served . all right bill we'll be sure to tune in at eight pm what to the koch brothers are high as governor and the natural gas industry have in common one mantra drill baby drill and their eyes and pocket but books are pointed toward ohio's.
