arrangements three. three. two three. modes three volunteers in video for your media project free media god r.t. dot com. from iran above the upside down drones the u.s. and iran are taking shots at one another in more ways than one but these two fellows have more in common than you might think well compared. to here has a blackberry. users. well. that's right the u.s. government has eyes everywhere so be careful what you say and write because big brother is probably watching. and while the u.s. keeps its eyes on just about everyone we're watching the two thousand elections from around the world the votes are in the united russia party claims the majority

of the seats in the state duma elections meanwhile egypt is having a runoff in its parliament a parliamentary parliamentary elections we'll bring you the latest. it's monday december fifth four pm in washington d.c. i'm liz wall and you're watching r t the elections in egypt and russia the euro crisis and a u.s. drone brought down by iran those are the headlines starting off this week the u.s. and iran seem to be engaged in a political game that could turn dangerous the u.s. now stepping up saying sions against the country sanctions that would target their central bank an oil industry meanwhile a series of mysterious incidents have some pointing to the u.s. in gaging and covert operations in an effort to stall and iranian nuclear program

from developing from assassinating key scientists to unexplained explosions of government buildings events that sound like they could come out of a modern day thriller meanwhile iran claims to have grounded a u.s. drone that was authorized to fly over the country now u.s. congress is rallying to crack down on the country through a series of sanctions but how effective will they be and what are the real consequences jamaal of d. is here in our d.c. studio to talk more about this welcome jamal so u.s. congress targets both of these sanctions are targeting both the central bank and the oil industry these sanctions would make it more difficult for iran to. and for other countries to do business with iran. i know your organization among others has serious concerns that these high end sanctions will do more harm than good absolutely these are these are the broad ascensions imaginable these are saying sions against iran's oil sector they make it illegal basically for any country to

do business with iran and by illegal i mean the u.s. would say action those those countries if they do business this is very similar to what we saw with saddam hussein in iraq we saw these sanctions imposed you know crippling humanitarian. facts on the people of iraq killed half a million people and didn't depose of saddam hussein in fact actually entrenched him and his regime were afraid that this is going to do the same thing and it's not just that it's bad for the regular people inside iran but for the first time these are sanctions that are actually bad for ordinary people in the u.s. and for the economies here in the u.s. as well as the economies in europe and that's right you just mentioned iraq as an example the sanctions did have an effect there it resulted in and poverty the end for infant mortality rate skyrocketing so we are seeing that these sanctions do have an effect but they seem to have an effect on the everyday citizens i mean have

we ever seen a scenario where they actually have the intended effect where they actually topple a leader we actually have not and that's the irony here is that these are saying sions with a purpose there's no objective that has been clearly laid out are these sanctions to topple the regime are these sanctions to pressure the regime back to the table or these sanctions for containment purposes to prevent the regime from obtaining nuclear weapons or a nuclear weapons capability that hasn't been spelled out and so when you haven't spelled out that in goal it's impossible for that sanctions regime to actually have its intended effect because the intended effect is unknown and. an interesting thing about these sanctions is that leaders are are pointing out that it could actually have an effect on the economy and actually negatively affect us because we're putting sanctions on the oil industry a battle affect europe and then that'll in turn affect us so i mean can you talk about how i mean this could affect the wallets of people here in the u.s.

yeah absolutely these are sanctions that. this is the sponsors that actually acknowledged ok this is going to raise gas prices a little bit here in the u.s. it might. take away some jobs here in the u.s. but it's so important that we need to do it even though we've never seen these sanctions actually work meanwhile in europe they've talked about imposing similar sanctions actually imposing an embargo on iranian oil exports that europe wouldn't be able to purchase those and it looks like they're going to go through with it until spain italy greece hold on we are teetering right now if you actually raise gas prices here if you cut off our oil imports from iran we're going to go under that's going to create far more damage. than we could expect from actually pursuing a different course with iran focused on a way out of this sort of escalating confrontation. and more towards diplomacy than just pressure for pressures sake but what's interesting is that you see officials

from both iran and the u.s. that seem to be pushing for these harsh acts actions refusing to take this more diplomatic approach what is it that it's kind of this one commonality that we're seeing between the two countries. why is it that we're seeing on both sides this this kind of aggressive push the you know we call it institutionalized and maybe with iran thirty years of just on both sides. strong incentives for politicians to actually sabotage diplomacy to ratchet up. rhetoric to escalate tensions and there are rewards on both sides here in the u.s. you see president obama heading in toward towards a reelection in which there has been real concerns in the perception of his support among jewish voters because of his approach towards israel and as part of that his approach towards iran but he hasn't been tough enough on iran and so you've seen

sort of moves on the obama side to to get tougher on iran at least in terms of perceptions on the iranian side of the same thing for instance the embassy incident that happened last week a lot of people saw this and thought this is iran being iran doing bellicose things but really what that was was it was the domestic political situation in the wrong in iran sort of rearing its head it was the speaker of the parliament actually we have reason to believe actually orchestrated those those those mobs in order to undercut the president after dinner judge who was making some moves towards opening up diplomacy with the p five plus one and so by sort of putting these mobs in the place and you know actually they passed a bill to kick the english the british ambassador out of iran by doing those things it has no disastrous consequences in terms of resolving the conflict but it plays well at home for the speaker larijani to basically get a win over apennine

a job and not allow him to have any kind of progress in terms of deescalating this confrontation and you know and to make matters worse the iranian officials claim to have shot down a u.s. drone that they say violated iranian airspace we have these mysterious incidents they these scientists apparently assassinated. or we're seeing these increasing should i ask you this before i'm going to ask you again are these all signs that we're inching closer to war with iran a lot of people are saying we are already in a covert war with iran and this is been going on for years. you know it's only a matter of time before something happens that we can't back away from but you saw the drone incident you see these explosions and then with those explosions it's kind of ironic iran who its leaders so often want to blame the outside world for all of their woes are saying no this was just an accident this wasn't sabotage this wasn't covert warfare on us and what that does is it lowers the pressure on the

wrong to retaliate it's only a matter of time before they don't continue to do that and it out of control jamal thank you so much for weighing in on this that was a policy director for the national iranian american council jamal of the. well still ahead on our teeth here there everywhere big brother has its eye on you and all of your information so much for personal liberty is that story next.

pepper spray let's just bring gerard is right right i mean it's like a derivative of actual pepper it's a food product essentially. it's much stronger than anything you'd be by obviously

loses dolls of the arms were stronger than any kind of the w they were putting on. the. well for those of us that use i phones blackberries google any of the stables of modern technology apparently we are all screwed despite the economic slump there is one sector which is booming and raking in billions it's the spying sector and who else but wiki leaks is helping to bring this all to light their new project called spy files is exposing how private surveillance companies are selling monitoring software to various governments across the globe this is software that tracks your every move by monitoring your phone online activity and your facebook and who are these companies selling the information to you apparently they don't discriminate and sell it to western intelligence agencies and country is run by

dictators alike here's what julian assange has to say about this who fear. an eye for who has a blackberry who he says gmo well you're screwed. alex jones is here to talk more about this hi alex i first want to ask you what kind of phone do you as i use a globalist designed apple i phone which surveils everywhere i go everything i do and reports in real time under the telecommunications act of ninety six all cell phones of october first two thousand and one had to be tracked and have back doors built into them so that governments and private corporations who get in and get your data and then this is basically as you were just saying sold off to the highest bidder and you know are

a victim of this you are being you are are susceptible to being tracked. yes and a lot of people say well i've done nothing wrong so what do i have to hide the point is people didn't do anything wrong and hitler did horrible things to them people to doing wrong in china and mounted horrible things to them it's the fact that this data is used to manipulate populations to track populations and it's our private information at a time when governments of corporations or more secretive than ever they basically have designed the very architecture in fact of an article right here in the london telegraph last week and they say apple i tunes flaw allows government spying for three years it's not a flaw under the telecommunications act of ninety six this was standardized all over the world except in a few countries from australia to the us everything has back doors under international agreement built into it whether it's on star whether it's tom tom whether it's i phone whether it's about

a role it doesn't matter what it is google droid assigns was talking about g. mail google admittedly reads your mail has computers rated google six years ago put a press release out we covered this at present a lot of dot com and said to shareholders a wonderful new thing we're not just going to track what web site you're on and put cookies up there and put ads to local restaurants or or movies where you live we're in we hear your dog barking in the background we'll have dog food ads will know what t.v. shows are watching we're going to use the on board cameras and microphones and laptops and computers to use computers to watch you and this is beyond me for twelve years ago here in austin i saw the federal grants to put hidden microphone in street lights they just announced it publicly last week so this is all been put in its pentagon designed and it's a total control grid just as richard stallman on r.t. if you days ago world famous free software philosophy father said that facebook

all the system. our design google is western intelligence facebook all of it. it's just amazing that they've gone from denying this big brother system to just admitting it and you know alex you've been warning us about brit big brother watching and this new product from wiki leaks prove that this is in fact happening but it's not only our government the spying transcends borders apparently these companies surveillance companies they're not they're not shying away from selling it to countries that have that the west hasn't really liked to dictators. so why would these companies turn a blind eye and sell to to these regimes of of dictators well that's what they say on the surface but most of these mega companies are western they're based in europe western europe and one of the united states australia new zealand that that constellation of once free prosperous nations that have been taken over by the big

six mega banks that are imploding the world economy right now they want the world to think they're selling doubt of everybody but they're selling tainted debt other selling the doubt of that they want to different groups none of this is being done without government authorization ten years ago admiral poindexter of iran contra fame shut up the total information awareness network and they publicly said every email every phone call every fax every thing you watch the cable and tivo everything you do is put in your psychological algorithm file and through this they believe they will be able to create and i think as i'm on foundation type scenario because yesterday's science fiction is today's you know present to literally predict the future of that's the holy grail of this and here's an article out of the new york times just in october government admits to build

a digital data eye in the sky off of isaac asimov. foundation series predicting the future in mass movements they have a ninety nine percent prediction right now a literal crystal ball lindzen device over the horizon future prediction in individuals they admit ninety three to ninety six this is the holy grail of the world wide eugenics banking cartel this is why they are so hard to beat they knew when the arabs were going to start revolting against their own puppets so they triggered their own fake revolutions to then put cia al-qaeda in they literally the globalist have future prediction crystal ball electronic devices now so the big secret so they are being given has n.s.a. alarms going off all over the world right now so they have the best technology not only is used to spy on people you're saying it's beings to predict the future because it can take trillions of actions google brags that over ninety plus percent

of the time they know where you're going to pull off and eat a steak before you do it before you consciously think of it they know what books you're going to buy in actuaries ahead of the book's even coming out because they have hundreds of millions of different data links from you and other psychological type cast similar to you they know what you watch they know when you tune out of an ad they know what shows they know what pornography you like they know what sexual fetishes you have they know who your friends and family are they have face scans of your entire family tree and friends on facebook it's all a giant map to map human activity before it happens and alex you know many of these products they refer to as lawful intercept how is it that this industry is able to go unregulated and that is how they're raking in billions. well it's not lawful intercept if it's done through fraud they claim they're allowed to by by kind of hedging their responsibility between different contracts and groups but but but

something that still is a fraud and people aren't aware of the contract they're signing because it's lengthy and deceptive it doesn't hold water when you sign up with google when you sign up with apple when you sign up with yahoo when you sign up with facebook twitter all these groups are intimately connected to the cia in-q tel all these other groups in the founding of it just like the cia and darpa created the internet they have created its modern architecture and so they spin off with the different intelligence operatives and create what looks like a constellation of private companies and of course these mercenaries to profit but they still operate within the larger global intelligence network. over these different private companies where they then trick you to sign the contract and then they basically instantly upload it i mean nine years ago usa today admitted that the big three pizza companies the large three and now i've been told by insiders it's most of even the small ones that when you order

a pizza in the united states or canada they know that you're calling with your real name real credit card from where you really are et they run that through a criminal background check so if the government wants to send a swat team or wants to come after you for warrants or whatever for unpaid parking tickets they know right where you're at when you call a pizza place they don't tell you that in many cases the pizza sale is a secondary business i would argue i just want to ask you i mean it seems like everybody is susceptible to this anybody that uses technology i mean what do we do what do you expect americans to do i mean people are so dependent on these devices little falls. well again it's just like poisoning a pond where you know animals are going to drink that you want to get rid of it's the same system the entire architecture technology is neutral obviously until it becomes artificially intelligent which may have already happened we're not going to tell when that happens. they they have designed the infrastructure

so it's a control device by becoming aware of it by not signing these contracts by supporting alternative search engines like start page dot com and others that use proxies debt that don't track your data but becoming aware of this and voting with our dollars and voting with what sites we visit we can shift the architecture of this just ten twelve years ago you couldn't find organic food on a store shelf in the u.s. now because of people voting with their dollars it is literally planting the mainline g.m.o. garbage now and all the major companies that five years ago said heifer just corn syrup is good for you when they knew it wasn't there now pulling it out of their products because the public is rebelling and has had a mass awakening but admiral poindexter admitted all of this when they got caught doing this ten years ago and congress order of the total information awareness

network disbanded they just announced will just go with front companies and so basically most of these companies are really private corporate fascist. pyramid with an pyramids russian dolls nesting within each other of the larger panoptic gone darpa control grid system so so that's what they call it total information awareness network it is the asimov future prediction system that they work so hard to get it from is that it's and well terry fascinating fascinating stuff unfortunately we're out of time that was radio host alex jones thank you. we turn now to the historical election in egypt the country is now and round two of the parliamentary parliamentary elections and islamist parties are taking the lead in the first round candidates fought for fifty six seats up for grabs however fifty two candidates failed to secure the number of votes needed to win prompting today's a runoff election the muslim brotherhood made significant gains in the polls

earning around thirty six percent of the votes in the first round now these elections are the first since the country ousted president hosni mubarak last february and are being touted as the country's first fair and free elections in decades but this is just the first step in an overhaul of the egyptian government r t is there and we will keep you updated but the very latest information coming out of the country. and switching from the polls in egypt to russia where they are finishing up counting the votes in the parliamentary election who would lead united russia isn't getting as many votes as in two thousand and seven but it's still the biggest party in the duma peter all over is in moscow with a look at the results. united russia taking the majority of the vote the communists coming in second and third place i fear russia with the liberal democrats call now the rest of the parties that i haven't named there they failed to get the required percent of the vote in order to take

a place in the duma united russia currently around forty nine percent of the vote they don't have and passed the all important fifty percent mark that's a psychological barrier to say that half of the country is on side with them now even though they haven't passed us mark due to the seats from the parties that fail to meet the threshold they were distributed between those four parties united russia actually have over fifty percent of the seats we're hearing from united russia party leadership is that they are willing to form coalitions jury this duma will all parties are making accusations of vote rigging intellectual fraud in this poll these range from people voting more than once to the use of invisible ink on some ballot papers we've seen protests and rallies on election day around the country though they were in cities like moscow and st petersburg we saw the biggest of these these rallies were suddenly in me were warm to particular political party

or another others not just against political parties but also against the election as a whole know during these rallies in st petersburg and moscow what we we saw well around several several hundred arrests now the international observers who are looking at the election. some have suggested that they were violations when it comes to the fairness of the election other international observers have said that those accusations on particularly well founded the o.e.c.d. has a long record of highly politicized election observations and of making politically inflammatory statements it would be very interesting to ask leo as he when the throughout the draft report on the next. did you see that usually goes to draw up a drum corps to the fool the election needs to take because that is the usual procedure in other words these statements that we have now on monday morning may not therefore be based on actual observations but subsurface president dmitri

medvedev. any obligations and all obligations of electoral fraud will be investigated by russian law enforcement and anybody found guilty of infringements will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. that was our peter all over with the latest from moscow capital account is up next on our team let's check in with lauren lyster to see what is on the agenda lauren i understand there is a deadline coming up for the euro crisis there is we've been talking about it i know you guys have been talking about it on the news kind of the headlines in the officials saying this is really it for the eurozone crisis last week we heard people saying there are ten days left now we're down to the wire this is the week leading up to that big summit on friday so we will look at really what is its stake here and is this really the panic is this really that and or are there things that politicians want to push through and order to do that it helps them a lot if there is this panic so we'll examine that from both sides and the global

role was just passed health about that yeah you know on this show we have been covering m.f. global very closely liz you know one of our our commentators lost money with m.f. global so today regulators did pass a rule in light of m.f. global's failure about not betting with customer money if you are a brokerage now it's suspected that john course i'm the head of m.f. global was doing just that now the irony is that john for as i was lobbying so that role wouldn't be passed earlier and we have a video you do not want to miss a vice president joe biden talking about how he literally calls john or zine to ask for advice on policy so we ask how can you. regulate the people that you call for advice on policy but you don't want to miss that that's coming up next on the capital account that's going to do it now for the news for more of the stories we covered at r.t. dot com slash usa and check out our you tube page it's youtube dot com slash artsy america you can also follow me on twitter as well the capital account with lauren
