private well guess what that was a lie facebook randomly change settings to made that made private info like friend list public with no warning facebook almost also promised its users that they wouldn't share their info with third party apps why third party apps were given free rein to access users personal information facebook also promised that they would delete information once a user cancel their account or to leave the information why that content was never actually delete it now the f.t.c. settlement was a joke facebook promised not to misrepresent privacy policies and submit to privacy audits over the next twenty years and have privacy changes opt in rather than opt out which doesn't really matter for its users whose content was already shared with the world out there so all these outcomes should make you especially wary of facebook's latest pilot program because once again it involves a big promise from facebook involving your personal information and you know how

good they are keeping us safe talking points from reports that facebook has started to ask certain users to upload photos of their government issued id cards and includes passports driver's licenses work or military i.d.'s will also do and it's all to test a new program which would verify new accounts much like twitter does but that's part here drumroll please. they promise that they will permanently delete the id information once this account has been verified right yet another promise another one the honestly i don't believe because of facebook history shows us anything it's that mark zuckerberg usually crossing his fingers all the way to the bank. well here's an interesting development to mars going to mark five months since the occupy movement first began its coffee park on attempts to occupy wall street at this point he'll encampment still stand in individual occupiers start to get a little creative we've spoken to one man that considered himself an occupy candidate and now a man in alabama named john paul for him has filed papers with the federal

elections commission to create the occupy wall street political action committee he even got creative with documents filed the street address as none and everywhere and for the city name put all of that but how should we look at this move and occupy wall street packed as a smart way to work within the system or is it a major break from occupies ideals of this custom with me said communications and outreach coordinator for united republic he's also a writer for united republic's new blog public report thanks so much for joining us tonight what do you think of this plan i mean it's kind of an interesting development right it's just one guy that's doing it just like the one guy that decided to run for congress but an occupy wall street pac i think it's really interesting it seems like this occupier down alabama is trying to do is trying to use the campaign finance system short sort of i guess itself to say that mr super pac i'm going to raise all this money we're going to support candidates who want to reform the campaign finances those that are kind of sort of trying to utilize sort

of the weapons of the system against itself now it's sort of interesting in this is that they want to support people like elizabeth warren who actually sworn off super pacs were saying along with their opponent scott brown that they don't want to protect supporting them so i think this will be a dilemma the occupiers faces you know should we be using the sort of tools of the system against it or should we just be staying away from this as sort of trying to reform the system in other ways that are a little cleaner or do you have an opinion on it do you think that this makes them look like hypocrites if they choose to work within the system but you know like you said there's always the argument is do you work within it to destroy it from within and reform it from within or from the outside or one of the those i guess the occupy visit doesn't have lead. you know they're not going to take advice from me to sail or anyone else but you know what i was suggest is maybe back away from the super pacs from the sort of these big sort of monstrosities a lot of people do a limited spending you know let's not get to that gave it to where everyone's playing you know rather you can form a normal political action committee and raise that certain amount of money for candidates you can donate directly to candidates you can do sort of political

action where that doesn't in a certainly involve political action committees in the mid of options that you can utilize sort of change the political system without using the super pacs and i would definitely suggest that utilize those before going to them we're definitely be outspent i mean super pacs you know they're they can take unlimited donations from unions or corporations now to sort of do what they're doing and or from rich individuals and honestly they'll be outgunned any way they try if you super pacs although i guess you could say that it could be interesting if you saw some ads out there that weren't just supporting a certain politician or a certain candidate but that we're taking on the whole system that is taking on both parties that really had some kind of occupy rhetoric behind and that you didn't really have somebody to point at and say like only use that when it's when it's to your advantage now did you catch the top of our show their night we were talking about maybe the irony of rick santorum releasing all of his tax returns to try to prove to people that he's really the every guy compared to mitt romney and what do you think about that right when at a time like this this is

a guy who is still a millionaire but he's supposed to be the. candidate with the more normal one you know i think that's really fascinating actually you know i was. you can actually make a lot of really great people a lot of good conservatives who like the idea of what we write we're writing our public report or what we're doing but at the same time you saw rick santorum standing up there talking as most like an average guy but the person who introduced him was a guy named foster friess to obviously give a little infamous today from some comments he made about he was going to get into that later and you know really this is a super rich rich guy who's financing rick santorum super pac is basically escalating in high up in this presidential race. that's the only reason rick santorum is really having any success right now is basically being bankrolled by one guy and a handful of other guys and you know at the same time your show covered him he's making you know ten times the media more than ten times the median income of the american family they're saying he's the average joe i mean maybe in the republican race at this point you know it would be between him and ron paul being the i guess the average joes versus like the gingrich and the romney but you know if anything i

think this speaks to how sort of our system has been itself towards the ultra rich to where you know maybe ten years from now you and i will be talking about multimillionaires representing the average versus you know the multibillionaires rather than talking about someone like santorum or a six hundred thousand dollars a year and it should be noted that part of santorum is the earnings are in those years was flacking for a number of corporations very in for using his political connections so he was doing you know a lot of the lobbying but not legally lobby the sorts of things so you know honestly i think it's a really really sad reflection on sort of how the political debate is turning this country do you think there is any way back to think that we can still pull it back and the average joe actually can still run in a political election you know i was also talking about that the numbers from the center for responsive politics and they're showing that half of the members of congress are worth at least a million dollars have there i think is worth seven hundred million dollars they think you know a range there but is it only going to keep trending in that direction or could maybe something like occupy try to change it you know that's what everyone's hoping

when and i think you know occupiers tea partiers conservatives liberals progressives moderates whatever i think all of us have an interest in reversing the system right now because the way that we're going is basically we're in a death spiral you know we have the democrats and republicans in dorset super pacs and divorcing unlimited corporate contributions and limit union contributions and other big special interest groups and we're going to we're going to revert to a system where we have one of us people ruling us in a class of people you know living under that and so right now i feel like you know twenty two was really a twilight year you know we need to have movements like the occupy that we need to have tea party tourism to the message of getting big money out of politics to really right now make a big fuss about this you know because we might not be able to turn back from this i mean there are many moments in history where you just. the end you know that if you don't do something now that you know catastrophic things are ahead and i think that's the moment of america's entering right now why don't i think it's an interesting time even from. new organizations like the one that you're working for right where suddenly everybody is hopping on board to this idea that money is corrupting the political system and you know what's one story that really stuck out

to you the part of this week that just you was the perfect and i guess the example of the worst of the worst of how our system works. you know the interim thing really really bugs me in the sense that there's a guy who can who can leave washington. as a senator and peddle as influence on behalf of all these other people and then he can go around telling his working class credentials and he can get a billionaire financier to run as sort of a can compete with the sort of the romneys of the gingrich's of the world and he continues and continues to sort of tell him self and sort of a working class hero for the people in. exemplified there every story that we're seeing now in the mainstream media i mean even with even with a number of social issues i mean i mean access to birth control is a class issue to a large extent and like i said before i think that you know what's happening in america right now is that people in the occupy movement people in the ninety nine percent whether tea parties or occupiers are waking up and saying this is them isn't working for them and we really have to do something to fix it right now you know that's why i hope everyone enjoys it with other groups that are trying to

combat this problem all right that will thanks so much for joining us tonight and it's worth pointing out seventy three reporting on it because as i mentioned the rest of them just seem to kind of give it up and they think that it's normal that's the way things work i disagree i think change and think things. ok guys so i want to ask you a question and you've heard of a pilot fish you know the first thing that comes to mind is maybe a bass or a salmon or something around like that how about linq plumeria or retract juniper perhaps rejected lotions from the body were one of those. this well whether they make you smell good or not here we have a little retracted juniper for us the purpose here is the fact that the government is definitely interested in them but that's not all that they're interested in how about eggs tractor cage tractor card or tractor nail carrier tractor eggs tractor cage tractor guard tractor nail with agriculture maybe they

are maybe new concepts for tractor designs but if that's the case then why would the government be interested it same time have you ever heard of a chalk eagle or chalk coral now could this be the government solution to keeping our department of schools that are forced to make cuts you know what if they can't afford paying any more say they found a new use for chalk art so we honestly don't really know any of these things are but we do know at the pentagon does or at least some people in the pentagon do you don't believe me you can see for yourself sort of the strange names are all part of the fifty one billion dollar black bunch of the pentagon set aside for next year so we told you about it before this dark ambiguous budget is enough to give anybody nightmares or the government just casually gives billions of dollars to projects that nobody knows about except for a few select people now there's really all not all that much that we can suss out from this budget because they use code words for it like cobra judy for assignments

and projects that could cover anything from i don't know using covers of battle finding ways to disguise a soldier named judy and obviously totally making up that kind of stuff cobra judy could mean anything and it could be something far more sinister probably is but we do know one thing here just like the rest of the pentagon this budget has faced the chopping block you see last year cobra duty was given forty thousand dollars this year and have to figure out how to keep going only seventeen thousand and in fact most of those ambiguous research projects are going to have to stretch their dollars which worries the military but you know what i think i'm kind of scared too i'm so. because i don't know where all this money's going to me it's a black pit throwing fifty one billion dollars a research project with crazy and the worst part of it all is that we want to even know what's going on in the pentagon's dungeon until we see the finished product so just throw billions out the d.o.d. was there oversight and then see what they come up with i'm having nightmares already. our guys it's time for

a break but coming up next we have show and tell. our use of the best way for women to keep from getting pregnant is to keep their legs shut so i want to talk to them you feel about the never ending stupidity about sex and women coming out of the republican party. people calling what you said for free and fair elections. and we're still reporting from the. past you can hear behind me loud explosions.

you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so for lengthly you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm sorry welcome is a big issue. our

guys it's time for show and tell my program now earlier this week we spoke to glenn greenwald about how the media and not the government is leading the charge when it comes to beating the drum for war with iran but how do you that feel that a producer for truth and offend you to find out what you have to say. each day brings a new turn in and as standoff between iran and the west the us media headlines talk of israeli preemptive strikes development in the iranian nuclear program and the possibility of an iranian retaliation on u.s. soil all while the u.s. government sources fanned the flames this without

a shot being fired only words thrown back and forth like daggers as the tension builds we asked who is a real. lee setting the pace in such a dangerous and strait so the government or the media pathfinder said the media of course and pointed out that the press uses fear to extract ratings other viewers felt it was not entirely driven by the media like the trucking life who said the government is using the media to lead the way but at whatever the government wants us to see and hear the mainstream media shows and say now mad told us that the that they work together the media and the government are one in the same well it's clear the media the media uses fear to attract viewers but they can only do so with the help of the us government so which entity is leading the charge well the two are so close it's just too hard to tell. now as always we appreciate responses and so here's our next question for you show we spoke about the threat of cyber war i guess argue that it is kind of like yellowcake trumped up bogeyman used to justify

spending and certain policy choices so you agree or do you think that cyber war is a real threat the united states should be gearing up to fight this don't you think on facebook twitter and you tube and who knows your response and just might make it on air. now some days you really get the feeling that you're living in the twenty first century where you can do almost anything you want on a smartphone or cybersecurity is being hyped as the next big threat where unmanned vehicles are fighting our wars for us i'm not saying all these things are good it's just that it's clear that we're living in a different world and yet there are other days that seem to do nothing but take us back in time offer a painful reminder that there is a whole portion of the population out there that wants to live in the past. pretty often they happen to be white republican men so let's examine some of the cases this week legislations been introduced to the house of representatives in iowa that would completely outlaw abortion and mandate up to life in prison for those who purposefully terminate a pregnancy now this ban includes cases of rape incest or saving the life of the

mother and oklahoma lawmakers are one step closer to passing the personhood act as it's passed through their senate now that's the bill that gives rights to an individual embryo at the moment of conception so effectively it outlaws birth control and on the topic of birth control carol i saw hosted as chair of the house oversight and government reform committee hearing about religious freedom versus health insurance having to cover contraception at the hearing however included no women on the panel not even a single person who disagreed with the catholic church and then of course there was this really lovely statement from the billionaire backer of rick santorum campaign on m.s.n. b.c. today. i get such a chuckle when these things come out here we have millions of our fellow americans unemployed we have a job a scam speen set up and. in latin america which rick has been warning about and people seem to be so preoccupied with i think it says something about our culture we maybe need a massive therapy session so we can concentrate on what the real issues are and

this contraceptive thing my gosh it's such inexpensive you know back in my days they used bare aspirin for contraceptives the gals put it between their knees and it wasn't that costly. so what the hell's going on we might go as far as calling it of a jihad that's being waged against women so joining me from our studio in new york is editor of a nice job thanks so much for joining us tonight and i guess before we get into some of these issues individually which i do want to break them down with you just overall how do you see what's going on. it's it's very scary and it's also very disheartening that women's rights are still so consistently up on the chopping block it's an election year so i guess this is to be expected but you know and as a nation we are still in broiled in wars abroad our economy is still in very very rough shape to be targeting women and to be targeting women's bodies and

reproductive choices is not just can are productive but you know it just seems frankly stupid to me. well what do you think too you know when somebody like foster friess big that it's a really good joke to say national television that women should just squeeze aspirin between their needs as a form of birth control. well i mean that form of birth control has never worked in the history of the world you know abstinence. society why it has never been a way that has really successfully lowered the unintended pregnancy rate you know i think the one thing he was right about is that maybe we do need a national therapy session when it comes to sex and you know rick santorum who seems to be very very interested in the details of what goes on in all of our bedrooms maybe should be the first candidate for that kind of therapy. he definitely is a little too interested if you ask me what's going on in everyone's bedroom all

right so let's talk about it he talked about this hearing today. didn't have any women on the panel i mean at the same time we also saw the obama administration come back and make a compromise right to this entire mandate for health insurance so why do we need to have a hearing about this now. well we don't you know many religious organizations including catholic organizations catholic charities usa catholic health organizations all came out and supported the obama compromise which doesn't require religious institutions to pay for contraception but what it requires is just for insurance companies to cover contraception for women so there really isn't a religious freedom issue here anymore you know i think the obama administration was pretty savvy about creating this compromise that takes that took the any religious challenges off the table. i think what the e.c. hearings really point to is the fact that this isn't about religion it's not about religious freedom it's about

a right wing hostility to women's rights. and how about the fact that you know it's so male dominated we actually even saw democratic lawmakers female democratic lawmakers all decide to walk out today and i think we have a clip here from one of them. what i want to know is where are the women when i look at this panel i don't see one single woman but again we. have to get the rules mr chairman that are related to one thing mr chairman we've been denied the right to have a we're going to leave the mourner hamel right to make up our monthly inquiry. so that was still you know during the hearing there and i think it's good right to think it's good that we took a stand that something brought up. yeah i think it's great and i wish more republican women were also on board every survey has shown that the only group of voters that actually opposed this obama compromise are male republicans even female

republicans think that the compromise was a good thing and you know more than fifty percent of them support it so you know this very much has become unfortunately a gender issue which is right wing male republican lawmakers kind of against everybody else including against many religious people who use birth control or support birth control access but why are they still allowed to do this i just don't even understand right now we have hundreds of members of congress if even republican women are not supporting them then it would look kind of a delusional world they live in where they still think then that it's up to this very small group of republican men to make this an issue. well i mean they live in a world where unfortunately that very small group has traditionally held a lot of power and i think what they're seeing is that that powers slowly slipping away and that can be very very terrifying when you're used to being in control and so i think this you know increased hostility not just toward abortion but to word sex education toward birth control toward anything that allows when

a greater share of the power pie is incredibly frightening to them and i think we're seeing how that plays out now we're trying to give the same old group of middle aged white men a bigger platform and more power than they really deserve or are entitled to the i guess you call a scary desperate last grasp for relevance or you know for some kind of attention but while that sounds funny to me let's talk about the legislation that's being passed in some of these states which really is. scary because it's going to affect people right it might even take women's lives for example what's going on here in iowa that they want to outright ban abortion make it a defense that's punishable by life in prison and that also includes you know if it's about rape of it's incest or if it's about saving the mother's life i don't even understand it's something like this is it legal does a does it stand up legally. no i mean as long as roe v wade is a good law

a law like this can be enforced. which makes it even more offensive because it's essentially just a waste of everyone's time you know it's a waste of the time of lawmakers in iowa you know have to vote on the stupid thing that's not ever going to be law unless roe is completely overturned you know it's offensive to iowans who have elected these people to actually get things done in their state you know it's offensive to all the journalists and bloggers you know news people that now have to cover this stupid law that isn't really going to matter at all the long run but that just really expresses hostility toward women generally. i guess lastly to even following the fact that they chose not to extend something that they've expanded in the past when it comes to the violence against women act because senator grassley decided that including the community made it no longer one group is being prioritized and he's called them undeserving.

yeah i mean there's sort of no words for that right it's i mean the fact that violence against women act is at all controversial at this point in two thousand and twelve. is shocking and the fact that you know are not being given the same consideration and you are somehow i guess being considered as. a threat or people that don't deserve the same level of protection. it really speaks a lot to the kind of values that republicans hold. hopefully they're losing this battle you know i think the rest of us realize how ridiculous that is joe thanks so much for joining us tonight. thank you. i had so far last break that i ever went back and i full time work for you and half the hour there's no that have access and somebody actually wants to regulate alcohol on a global level using the i don't think it's going to work we're going to talk about it all with the.

same. people calling what you said for free and fair elections. and we're still reporting from the it's about as you can hear behind me loud explosions. good it gave.

you know how sometimes you see a story and it seems so for lengthly you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm sorry welcome to the big picture.

guys it's time for tonight's tool time award and tonight goes to a tennessee police department for being just the latest law enforcement agency to jump on the islamophobia bandwagon so this week roughly one hundred tennessee law enforcement officials all attended a three day training course about islam and threat of terrorism to guess what surprise surprise there are reports of the topics covered in that training were incredibly offensive and islamophobia now is astounding to millions to you because it should the rather for a county police department joins the long list of law enforcement agencies across the nation that have been caught using training methods that are islamophobia and personally i'm getting a little bit of deja vu so i'm going to let the clips here tell the story if you take a deeper look into these training courses the picture isn't pretty you see poor oversight

questionable accreditation practices and experts with no background in his law or counterterrorism who teach our cops to all muslims want to take over america i think it's pretty safe to assume with members of federal law enforcement being taught that there is no such thing as a moderate muslim that's going to affect the f.b.i.'s relationship with the muslim community to f.b.i. training instructor they gave an incredibly offensive and bigoted view on muslims not only did william got their call muhammad a cult leader but he basically taught the concept that all muslims sympathize a jihad and the more religious a muslim is the bigger threat they pose to the u.s. . yeah that's right over the last year we have spoken time and time again on this show about the outrageous tactics that are used by these trainers that are instructing everyone from the f.b.i. to the n.y.p.d. and they have all been caught using trainers that are unqualified and known to make anti islamic statements and dangerous generalisations let's go back to tennessee in this specific case the instructor in question.
