there are no better predators. the united states and australia that friendship is about to get a whole lot cozier the u.s. military has its sights set on some islands near australia and might be the future home to five straight ahead we'll tell you why this region is prime property for the us. your walking down the street of the camera that takes a picture of you is able to compare it through facial nupur is able to compare it to your driver's license for all or some other photo. who's watching your every move while the u.s. government of course so what does your digital footprint say about you and does

this mean privacy is dead the explorer or something else that. you know it should make me as a journalist in the making and i we as journalists think to figure out how to capitalize on our minds in the same way. by day a hard hitting journalist who's willing to take on tough topics by night kastrup stripper willing to take off her clothes to make ends meet could this be the new american dream and. it is friday march thirtieth the five pm in washington d.c. i'm christine for watching our team. well it appears there are major plans for the united states to expand its military president presence toward the southern hemisphere this includes an expanded presence in australia and in the long run possibly a new air base on the cocos and keeling islands this is

a territory of us troia located in the indian ocean halfway between australia and sri lanka there's talk of the islands would replace the current u.s. indian ocean based on diego garcia that's leased to the u.s. by britain and at least runs out in two thousand and sixteen and while the specifics of the new base remain under wraps an in-depth report by the washington post this week found the location to be quote ideal for manda surveillance aircraft as well as unmanned drones also an official review conducted inside australia found there's been a big push to expand the naval base in perth these are just a few of the details of an agreement announced back in november via president obama and australian prime minister julia gillard here's president obama speaking during our visit there are no better prose but the united states that all strode over darkest moments where our countries have been put when we needed a friend mcconnell we've always been there for each other now i spoke about what

this all could mean with ivan eland a senior fellow at the independent institute just a short time ago i asked him if this is expansion is and an attempt at containing china here's his take. right it's one more step in containing china. that's definitely why there's still probably why all these alliances are being expanded more bases more training etc and in that area there's been a lot of criticism from both sides of the people in australia not happy about this in people in the u.s. as well and i want to put up on screen recently the former national security adviser zbigniew that for presidents he did an article did an interview with slate and i want to put up what he said first he said a little bit sarcastically he said i was not aware that australia was about to be invaded by papa new guinea or by indonesia and he went on to talk about china and saying to define our engagement in the east in terms of china is

a mistake we have to focus on asia but not in a manner that plays on everyone's exact anxieties it becomes very easy to demonize china and they will then demonize us in return is that what they want. i mean do you agree that this is something that perhaps should have been considered a little more. brzezinski was always a cold war during the during the soviet period and so i think he's not a friend of any sort of communist system so this is very smart advice i think he has realized that the cold war is now over and that we need to engage china what's really interesting about u.s. policy in the far east is china is loaning us money so that we can help the our allies there who are all rich countries defend themselves against who china interesting it is going to this train system how those dots are connected and you are talking about you know the cold war era certainly some of the major bases that were crucial back then military bases a large military presence in japan in south korea there's talk that that's going to

sort of. shuffled around a lot of the people the resources that were at those bases will will be shuffled into australia what do you think the impact of that would be well i think it's you know it's clearly in the. china in the south china sea which is a major. shipping lane and also china has been acting nor a surgeon in that area so i think you're still going to have a policy of containment is just kind of shifting the balls in the air a little bit but you're still juggling the containment policy and we still have those alliances with japan south korea there's also previously been some shuffling around in south korea but it really doesn't amount to a change in policy it just if anything it's beefing up the presence there as president obama said that he's going to do in relation to china but the united states just can't afford this anymore and we can't afford a base in the cocoa islands and we need to we have you know a fifteen billion or fifteen trillion dollar national debt and some of these

overseas bases should be contract instead of expanding absolutely and that meeting with president obama and prime minister julia gillard back in november. something or we're somewhat surprised by these announcements this announcement of a bigger military partnership there was also an interesting reaction by china they basically said that this is a bad decision on the part of the u.s. and that australia could actually be caught in the crossfire talking about what australia has to gain from sort of playing host to the u.s. well i think i. only populated country and it's very wealthy by world standards but it's. by china's potential power because china has a lot of people their economy is growing rapidly in that sort of thing and so i think australia is like south korea japan taiwan philippines thailand even communist vietnam they're all trying to get it sheltered under the u.s.

wing because they fear a rising china when actually i think the united states should be the only the balancer of last resort and let these countries do more but of course they're not going to do more for their own defense of the united states keeps doing it for them so you know you don't pay your rent of somebody paying it well. you know that's what amounts to. according to the washington post report some of the things that would potentially be built and you know the u.s. government is trying to make it very clear that this is not something that's going to happen in the next few years even the next few decades. we don't know if that's true but what they're saying is that it's an ideal location for both manned surveillance plan planes and unmanned drones what do you foresee that this will look like if this is indeed the next sort of future in diego garcia well i think it could be done in stages you don't need is one of the runways for drones and that sort of thing as you do for if you were to put the fifty two bombers like we have a go go see or other bombers that we have there and so i think you know this could

be ramped up over time they. seem to think this has been thoroughly discussed they were kind of caught unawares by this but certainly at the lower levels this is being discussed and it could be a plan for the future if any part of this simply the u.s. government or the pentagon trying to send a message or is this actually just the next tragedy in terms of militant military defense but i think they're trying to send a message to china and they may have been trying to send a message to the australians that we're ready to do this we want to talk about it now all right it should be interesting to give our eyes on a very interesting report and cut a lot of people by surprise all those details ivan eland senior fellow at the end of an institute. but we've been telling you a whole lot about the new digital data center being built in utah for the national security agency a whole lot of that is expected to be housed there including perhaps some information about you digital tracking of americans is expected to be connected to

the center an occasion haven't noticed a lot of the new technologies to track people are already in place are you correspondent were important gives us an up close and personal look. ten years ago biometrics robotic spies and state surveillance the makings of a site by which starring tom cruise sort of from the control room today many scenes from the hollywood blockbuster minority report have arguably the calm in reality with life ominously imitating art your walking down the street and the camera takes a picture of you is able to compare it through facial mapping is able to compare it to your driver's license photo or some other photo your mug shot maybe a surveillance photo and say all right marina was on the corner of forty second and . three o'clock last saturday in addition to facial recognition new york city's

police department is just one of many law enforcement agencies that also require citizens to undergo an iris scan before being released from police custody. in the past six months iris scans have been taken from hundreds of occupy wall street activists placed under arrest by christina gonzales they really don't so you i say it's another form of identification and it's really creepy to have someone holding up a machine to your phrase and you have no idea that only the help of what there are clearly use it with their larger purposes of using it is iris scans are like a high tech english print but much faster officials can quickly identify anyone who is unique scanned is on the database knology is becoming increasingly useful as a tracking tool in the u.s. in the virtual world of tweets. facebook posts and search engines every internet

user is defined by a data footprint if you think anonymous comments and blogs are protected think again through the use of what's called forensic linguistics you. u.s. investigators can now uncover whose fingers are behind every single keystroke if i have a good in a large enough sample of your writing and your postal card can tell you and compare it i can import it. and so in the database. using that information finding every other post you have reviewed the digital data trail of every american will soon be connected to a massive building in utah a two billion dollar data center is reportedly being constructed for the u.s. national security agency the complex will allegedly be able to collect analyze and store all forms of personal communication including online purchases calls google searches and yes private messages but they're actually looking at di encrypting all

of the data that comes out so for example when you use g. mail your all your e-mails are encrypted by default who has given you this service and has allowed you to say my communications are protected now the n.s.a. center is designed around building systems that will do you encourage that data and remove any protection a chip can put onto it earlier this month cia director david petraeus painted a picture of america's dystopian freefall when describing the emergence of the internet of things the furries refers to an increasing amount of personal information washington will eventually be able to obtain once all home electronics are wired to a network u.s. intelligence officials estimate that by twenty twenty up to one hundred billion ordinary devices such as refrigerators and dishwashers could be wired up to the internet just the way p.c.'s and cell phones are now that i don't list of data

could allow big brother to monitor virtually anything it wants even the cia director says the very idea of secrecy will change forever. our new york. all right well call it spying or big brother or even an extended reality show that we're all a part of these technologies are here to stay and they're only getting more intricate more developed so we want to talk about what this means on a broader scale so charlie mcgrath is the founder of it why don't we make news dot com but hey charlie how far we ching are some of these technologies. extremely far reaching i mean if there's stories going on all the time if we have law enforcement is trying to use predator drones for surveillance i mean what we're doing is we're turning the nation into a battlefield we're taking gullible technology bringing it here you know the minority report was referred to him in the warm up to this to this interview and

that's exactly right the way already reported eight hundred eighty four we're turning the guns in we're we've seen the security industrial complex blossom since nine eleven since a patriot act and now it's starting to beecher inward to where everything you do will come under surveillance i mean you're right it's orwellian on one hand on another hand it's highly surprising i mean i go to the gym i use my fingerprint to sign in whenever i post pictures on facebook facebook knows where their pictures are they say oh is this so and so and they're right almost all the time do you think we're already sort of too used to this to even notice what's going on here. i well yes we probably are too used to this to notice what's going on thankfully there's like r t and alternative media that are screaming from the rooftops when we see the government trying to encroach into our privacy you know that's why people were defeated because of public outrage a huge search control the information called the free exchange of information between people on the internet then you really start limiting the ability for people to get information other than propagate propaganda mainstream media or

government information there are a lot of people who kind of look at what's going on and let's look at that first some sort of a retail standpoint i know that if i log on and i'm interested in maybe buying a new pair of shoes or a new outfit the next several days no matter what website i'm on somehow those shoes will come up and i won't know for example if they go on sale so a lot of people say oh that's a good thing i want to know when the shoes i want go on sale but what is the downside here. the downside is you you know you the idea that you have an expectation of privacy is out the window the downside is that we're turning from the united states of america once great republic into a star's huge police state where you truly do not know when you are being surveilled and you know if we see some of this so technology go through that will be absolutely anytime you walk out your door and in a lot of cases when you're sitting in your own hole maybe your computer is

surveilling you the notion that we're trying to make this collaboration between corporations and the innes a this is terrifying i don't understand how the mainstream media isn't just you know screaming from the rooftops saying look we're we're not the battlefield in this country the people of the people the citizens of this nation are not the enemy why do we have to surveil every single person in this country why do we have to have this kind of technology unleashed on to the people of this country especially when we have to borrow forty cents of every dollar that the government spends and i think here when you talk about these kinds of technology i mean you call it a stasi police state but a lot of people say you know what you know they argue if you're not doing anything wrong you tend not to worry that is you know of course the most common argument you hear i guess that's what your case against that argument but ok well that's simple you know if you're not doing anything wrong then you can have the government in your bank account in your bedroom in your home in your life every degree is long as you know if you're anything but your then she one franklin told us if we are

willing to give up liberty in order to have a little bit of security we will get and deserve you know those words are hundreds of years old but they're just as true today as we uttered in there you know and it's interesting there's a lot of different ways to look at what's going on here concerning these technologies certainly retailers are using them to their advantage i know there is that story a little while ago about target knowing based on what one of its customers was buying knowing that she was pregnant. so certainly you can understand sort of the business perspective what we talk. the government what do you think is the reasoning behind all of a lot of this i mean a lot of people say you know the chinese have been doing this for years but there are less concerned for example with what lawmakers are talking about behind closed doors that they're more concerned about what's going on at apple you know it's all business they want to know about the financial gain here what do you think the government has here. well you kind of got there so i think i got the question you know big government is in bed with corporate special interests now one good example

of this is you know chaired off when he left the department of homeland security then he's representing companies like rabbits and he's had a lucrative second career in the private sector security industry now we have shown him re the top cyber cop over at the f.b.i. . leaving after two decades of course before you leave he comes out and talks about the grave threat in cyberspace and as he's jumping ship from the f.b.i. go into a private security firm launching his second very lucrative career this collaboration between private and government eventually it always turns out to be put on the burden of the citizens of the nation and there is no good reason why we need to turn this nation into a police state when you know we're supposed to be spending all this money on defense and security to fight enemies terrorist enemies of this country but we're turning inward i mean it seems to be it's just more corporate collusion between washington and wall street or probably capitalism and legal base capitalism that

ends up soaking the taxpayer of the country while enriching a very select few and all that all done on the back of fear and charlie i want to point out kind of a really interesting example of this of course think into the campaign season for the november election probably just came out with a really interesting article after an investigation they were looking into the database kept by the obama administration and there's a lot that you know we'll never know about it but they found that for example if you log onto barack obama dot com using facebook that automatically gives the campaign permission to access your name your pictures or gender networks or your list of friends they are other information that you've made public the obama campaign at and you know on one hand you can understand why that they've hired a corporate data mining expert at to crunch the numbers to connect the dots on every single person in that database let me just read you a short part of the article they said the campaign has the right to gather far more information about how you. use the campaign web site such as what you click on and which pages you view now hording to the privacy policy the campaign reserves the

right to share the personal information it collects quote with candidates organizations group or causes that we believe have similar political viewpoints principles and objectives so basically if you're gonna get campaign gets to decide who gets your information i mean is this all the legal you know the legality of it is a good question i just don't know but you know it goes along with what we're talking about a shopper who i want to target in their understanding the person making the purchase is maybe pregnant or whatever special circumstance may be but it is certainly a case that you have to be where you know if you take responsibility for what you're assigning up to on the internet you know if you're going to school campaigns you better make sure that they can't read all your information and then use it there's some maybe even against you but you know it's ours the legality of it goes i can't it hard to say but it sure is going on charlie mcgrath founder of the vita wake music dot com. well it's no secret the newspaper industry has been

dying down here in this country over the last several years sales have been plummeting advertisers are moving online so how have some print journalists been keeping afloat well it appears some of them are taking a sexy revealing of which are example reporters there are trust or she was a society reporter for the houston chronicle by day and a stripper by night well as you can imagine she didn't tell her bosses about this other job but a reporter for a rival newspaper did he was an exposé on it and trusts are was just fired she's not the only one doing us r.c. correspond on a stasia churkin i found another woman doing a similar thing but she says she doesn't regret it one bit. a blue color shirt a knee length skirt and conservative flats a journalist working on a newspaper article by day six inch heels a few strips of clothing if any and a pole a stripper by night. taking her clothes off is her secret main source of income

being a journalist for a new york newspaper just doesn't pay enough it's a real problem in journalism and. please specially in america because you know journalism is seen as the fourth branch of government it's sad and since they don't get paid for the twenty six year old who wants to remain anonymous started stripping in college a piece for education and rent she now has her own home and has paid off all of her college debt there's something i mean. you know what you're making me as a journalist and i use journals things to figure out how to capitalize on our minds in the same way you'd sort of dancers is the only way to how can we job security in the u.s. these days is to strip since demand is booming firing is all the work mark you hear far from regular job it might be six months a year two years of free my job is that i lose my job i will go to the competitor down the street and be like hey hire me and bill hire me

a sex worker cammy parker echoes this she used to study journalism at new york university the chances of getting a job in that in his limbs you know not to mention the fact that there's no money out made more money now than monkey letter making that i. wrote during and keeping a job with. a journal or committed to getting laid off run right in and we're going economy we're told we're three men business i've been doing better than i report which are a school's going to make thirty to fifty thousand dollars that it was yeah. you know it was a stripper. three months a body could make that in one book well most journalists would remain skeptical about taking on a sexier job to make an extra book i don't know of you know everyone's going to be a stripper but i definitely do think that people will have to try to find other means of making her opinion this journalist sense through her cause a life like hers the new american dream is this is the new jersey.

all right so this might not be the norm just an option if you are choosing to pursue but it's an interesting topic especially on a friday so we want to talk a lot more about this christopher chambers is a journalism professor at georgetown university press here that should journalists be able to stretch as a second job. why not. it's i mean i would like to just to all you know me back when i was twenty but you know this this story is really an allegory for a lot more serious issues i mean the issue of going to school and going into debt and not going into what was once a you know i learned as you career and in a profession and a calling as a journalist and that's why people are either dropping out of school or one in or going to work for goldman sachs on the other it's also a perfect storm allegory for the for you know the firm of traditional journalism and what they call legacy outlets i mean and how those outlets of not you know

creatively addressed and evolved the way they should to the point where you might see google or amazon acquiring the washington post or new york times at some point so you know it's it's it's it's fun on one level but it's very serious on another and i was just kind of curious after hearing about this story so i went ahead and i asked my boss you know what happened if he found out he was doing it and i'm not but here's the answer it's a you know if i await the handbook to get any other job whether i'm working at a pizza place but if i was doing it for charity raising money for the humane society. that it would be no problem i mean do you think that most bosses i mean even though they're going to pay we're actually starting out i memorize and a lot of reporters are making in the low twenty's and. you know how can you on one hand say we're going to pay you nothing on the other hand you can't have a second job well that you know and that's that's the thing i mean. you're by. and

people in you know in a business that's already experiencing flux and just fall out on all levels and you know you have you know you've heard stories of pure research center pro publica i mean neiman labs looking at the changes in the in the journalism industry here in the united states and abroad and you know still people are locked into this you know situation where you are being called a professional etc etc when you're not being allowed to make a living and you've got you coming out of college or grad school in journalism communication in crushing debt on top of that you know so it's a catch twenty two people and i think it's an interesting point too i mean as a student you do have a lot of that especially if you go to you know not a state school but they're even even at the top and i know there's a situation in arizona state student. and she actually got

a scholarship to go to this course at thirty two thousand dollars and she was starting to is making point videos and in one of them she showed her student i.d. to prove that she was over eighteen year there was talk at first that she should lose her scholarships for scholarships but you know to what extent should say anyone have to have that control to say oh yeah i mean if you look at the not not a new jersey case but the the houston case that story was broken by a rival and the rival outlet that has a more conservative bent now they were saying well we're not prudes etc etc this is juicy a juicy story but you know to some extent there yes it's a juicy story yes they can get more people reading it but they're also trying to make a point i think there is a double standard here i mean if you were if you got a second job as a kindergarten teacher and then you know your boss found then it would kind of be a little dicey there would be a good good story if somebody fired you and fired. it was stripping anything that

you know having to do. i mean you know. that opens up such a pandora's box what if you found out one of your students or two of your students . i wouldn't bother me at all america they want to write a story about it but i'm not the person in the university nor my. priest in charge over there but i mean it wouldn't bother me but as long as it didn't affect their job their studies or if they were working for me their job you know i would try to make that relationship if there's no nexus negative nexus between what they're doing off hours to make ends meet to survive you know and it's not illegal i mean if you if the question was if they were you know cooking meth yeah you know because it's illegal you know it doesn't bother me if you know but you know i don't run the world and it's interesting to see that this is an industry not just you know the idea of getting a second job has become such a reality for so many years but the fact that they're getting

a second job in an industry that's actually not suffering in comparison to studies and truth it's recession proof as well because it's the sex industry it's entertainment i mean if you really want to be really really kind of funky and hoity toity about it it's really just the extreme of what we do in the media is just boiling it down to its basic element you know it's all entertainment you know where we have news with the or the patina of a little bit entertainment this is all or tame and so she's just operating on the on the extreme so what's wrong with that we're only saying it is yeah healing back to layers healing and down to the farm yes. but how else can we say. you know or you know we are the male equivalent. male somewhere but now they're mad i think it's all my ok. it is friday because yesterday there was a pastor at our signing arrested thanks kelly.
