there's a report. from iran a phobia it's a down drone in the u.s. and iran are taking shots at one another in more ways than one but these two bozos have more in common than you might think well compared. to here as a blackberry. users gmo. well you're screwed that's right the u.s. government has i have been 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 where watching the two thousand and eleven 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 parliamentary elections we'll bring you the very latest. it is monday december fifth eight pm in washington d.c. i'm liz lol and you're watching r.t. . well the u.s. and iran seem to be engaged in a political game that could turn dangerous the u.s. now stepping up sanctions against the country's sanctions that would target their central bank and oil industry meanwhile a series of mysterious incidents have some pointing to the u.s. and gauging and covert operations in an effort to stall an iranian nuclear program from developing from assassinating key scientists to unexplained explosions of government buildings events us on what they could come out of a modern day thriller meanwhile you iran claims to have grounded a u.s. drone that was unauthorized to fly over the country these drones that you see on

your screen there are similar to the ones that iran claims to have shot down it is a in our q one seventy sentinel drone undermanned of course and it's the same type of drone that was used to monitor osama bin laden's compound in pakistan. now u.s. congress is rallying to crack down on the country there was a series of economic sanctions the u.s. senate unanimously passed several new things since last thursday and although they may be in agreement over how to deal with iran many other political figure heads are certainly not on board treasury secretary timothy geithner is one of them he said quote and its current form it threatens to undermine the effective carefully phase and sustainable approach he also went on to say that sanctions could hurt the world market by raising the price of oil without deterring iran's nuclear program so how effective would a new round of sanctions really be and what is the potential fallout from all of the was here in our d.c. studios to talk more about this and more to start things off i asked if these sanctions do more harm than good here's what he had to say. absolutely these are

these are the broadest sanctions imaginable these are sanctions against iran soil 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 countries if they do business this is very similar to what we saw with saddam hussein in iraq we saw these sanctions imposed 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 we're 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 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 rates 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 sanctions without a purpose there's no objective that has been clearly laid out the sanctions to topple the regime are these sanctions to pressure the regime back to the table are these sanctions for containment purposes to prevent the regime from obtaining nuclear weapons or nuclear weapons capability that hasn't been spelled out and so when you haven't spelled out that end 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 and that'll 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 the 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 looked like they were going to go through with it until spain italy greece said no 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 of 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 you know 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 to rearing its head it was the speaker of the parliament actually we have reason to believe actually orchestrated those those mobs in order to undercut the president. who was making some moves towards having opening up diplomacy with the p five plus one and so by sort of putting these mobs in the place and 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 science 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 that you saw the drone incident you see these explosions and then with those explosions it's

kind of ironic iran who. it's 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 iran to retaliate it's only a matter of time before they don't continue to do that and it is out of control jamal thank you so much for weighing in on there that was a policy director for the national iranian american council jamal of the. well 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 spire files is exposing how private surveillance companies are selling monitoring software to various governments around the globe this is software that tracks your every move by monitoring your phone online activity and even your facebook and who are these companies selling the information to apparently they don't discriminate and sell it to western

intelligence agencies in countries ran by dictators like listen to this facebook does massive surveillance if there is a like button in a page facebook knows that it was who visited that page and it can get the ip address of the computer visiting the page even if the person is not a facebook user so you visit several pages that have like buttons and facebook knows that you visited all of those and he is not the only one with these strong opinions here's what julian assange has to say about your personal information being passed around here. and. who has a blackberry. users gmo well you're screwed so are we well there's not more about that i spoke to alex jones was

a little curious so to start things off i asked alex just what kind of cell phone he uses take a listen. 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 cellphones bought tubber first two thousand and one had to be tracked and had back doors built into them so that governments and private corporations could get in and get your data and then this is basically as you were just saying sold off to the highest bidder and hire a victim of both you are being 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 websites you're on to 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 you're 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 sister. as 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 done as it really like 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 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. it's foundation series predicting the future in mass movements they have a ninety nine percent prediction right now a literal crystal ball a lindzen device over the horizon a future prediction in individuals they admit ninety three to ninety six this is the holy grail of the worldwide eugenics banking cartel this is why there 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 things 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 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 do 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 at 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 the 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 vast 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 falls. well again it's just like a 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 show 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 supplanting the mainline g.m.o. garbage now and all the major companies that five years ago said heifer because 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. pyramids within pyramids russian dolls nesting within each other of the larger panoptic gone darpa control grid system so that's what they call it total information awareness network it is the as

a modest future prediction system that they work so hard to get like so this is a very fascinating fascinating stuff unfortunately we're out of time that was radio host alex jones thank you. well dozens of british m.p.'s are calling for review what they see as a one sided extradition policy with the us drawn up in the post nine eleven panic that rules that washington can demand anyone's extradition without proof and london must obey artie's you've are better reports on the issue and why some leaders are demanding if be changed. all take and no give that's the growing feeling in britain's parliament against america's controversial extradition treaty that was signed in two thousand and three in the post nine eleven panic and makes it far easier for the us to take people from the u.k. than the other way around now forty five m.p.'s from the three main parties have crossed the political divide and joined forces they finally forced

a debate and parliamentary vote and what they called an injustice was a mistake in the first with this ministry i think it was a mistake it's not a level playing field even with a partner like america we need to make sure that we of being equal and we are being fair to our citizens and that is not the case of the britain must present evidence for any extradition but america doesn't need to a long awaited independent inquiry recently ruled this relationship was balanced but the numbers suggest otherwise one hundred twenty three people have been surrendered to america under the treaty since two thousand and four only fifty four have gone the other way america's ambassador to the u.k. has branded these figures myths and in accuracies where they were figures he's embassy refused to reveal he's even accused m.p.'s of willfully distorting the facts in the run up to this crunch vote in parliament that could shift the balance

but m.p.'s aren't backing down joining a battle some have fought since the treaty was signed i think you know the scene how many injustices have been caused because of it it was meant to be for terrorists offenses it wasn't meant to be for the ken things they're using no janice's is gary mckinnon a mainstay on america's extradition wish list he was arrested ten years ago after hacking into pentagon files he says he was merely searching for u.f.o.'s gary has asperger's syndrome and according to his. should be tried in the u.k. on medical grounds but america's not giving up on one of the most wanted it is so vengeful. you think it was in some of the lodge and it is so over the top they left him one has internet for three and a half years after the arrest if gandhi was the slightest threat that wouldn't have been done but it's very much i think he embarrassed them and because of that they

were very angry at him there were nine cases currently fighting extradition to america which is the latest he's wanted on copyright charges for creating a search engine for pirated content it's not even considered a crime in the u.k. but at the moment that doesn't matter the u.s. can still get. the coalition government promise to change this while in opposition now is the chance to deliver bennett london. and we are going to take a short break but coming up very early calling it off united russia claims the majority of the seats in the stadium on election day and egypt is gearing up for a run up i'll bring you the very latest from around the world that.

let's just bring your eyes right now. i mean it's like a derivative of actual pepper it's a food product essentially. much stronger than anything you could buy a lot of. thousands of times was stronger than any one of the w. they were putting in.

we turn now to the historical election in egypt the country now in round two of the parliamentary elections and islamist parties are taking the lead and the first round candidates fought for fifty six seats up for grabs however fifty two candidates failed to secure that amber of votes needed to win prompting today's 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 free and fair 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 with the very latest information coming out of the country and switching now from the polls in egypt to russia where they're finishing up counting the votes and the parliamentary election who would lead the united nations isn't you know rather united russia isn't getting as many votes as in two thousand

and seven but it's still the biggest party in the duma artie's peter all of our is in moscow with a look at the results. united russia taking the majority of the vote the communists coming in second in third place i think to russia with the liberal democrats 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 failed to meet the threshold they were distributed between those four parties united russia actually have over fifty percent of the seat school 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 and electoral 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 true of the draft report on him at. we did it as it usually goes to draw up a draft report before the election even took place because that is the usual practice in other words these this statement that we have now on monday morning may not therefore be based on actual observations by its observers president dmitri medvedev has said that 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 artie's peter oliver with the latest from moscow well that does it for now for more on the stories we covered go to r.t. dot com slash usa and take it or you to page it's easier dot com slash r.t. america you can also follow me on twitter at liz wahl coming up in a half hour is the big.
