it is monday april second five pm here in washington d.c. i'm christine for us out there watching our t.v. . well you know as the government of homeland security along with u.s. immigrations and customs enforcement have placed a large and rather interesting order they've ordered four hundred fifty million rounds of ammunition to be created and delivered to them over the next five years by the company alliance tax systems or eighty k. was awarded the contract to manufacture forty caliber ammunition high performance sorts of and these bullets quote provide optimum penetration for the terminal performance referring to the way the tip of the bullet passes through barriers and expands all the while holding its jacket in the toughest conditions so this is interesting because this is not the pentagon making this order for the military

with v.h.s. and to give you a little perspective here there are only about three hundred eleven million people living in the united states so it begs the question why such a massive order well here to answer that and more is radio host and filmmaker jason burma's jason is also the director of invisible empire a new world order to find all right jason alex cuts of the chase here why does the da just need a four hundred fifty million hollow point bullets. well that is the real question and why does the department of homeland security even exist in the first place let us not forget this is a department that was created in the wake of nine eleven really in the spirit of hitler's own deutschland security and over the plate the past decade plus they've been given more and more power and alarmingly the president has made some pretty crazy power grabs and self in the last few months of course the n.d.a. and the subsequent bill where they can declare martial law under any emergency and

have a kind of super eminent domain landgrab well if you're going to do this and you're going to have a department like homeland security and force these types of things unfortunately you're going to have to arm them and for them purchasing four hundred fifty million hollow point bullets their intentions seem very clear to me it's not only to intimidate the american people but to use force when necessary if they arise now a lot of people are saying of course there are tons of discussions on this especially going on on line at a lot of it was saying hey you know what this is needed for training purposes the department of homeland security has a lot of you know different department under its umbrella from embracing the customs enforcement to t.s.a. and that's what they're saying are saying this needs to be used for practicing so what about that argument. well i think that argument is very thin indeed especially when you're talking about hollow point bullets and not regular ammunition when

you're clear cut case is to again and the tree the target ok so if this were just for you know shooting at a range or training purposes number one it wouldn't be this type of lethal ammunition and number two it would be four hundred fifty million rounds literally around a round and a half for every man woman and child in the united states i'm wondering jason i mean do you think there's a larger discussion to be had here certainly i've done a couple stories i know this past november black friday saw the most gun sales ever and that's continuing we are continuing to see very high gun sales in the u.s. and we've already seen the d.h.s.s. also hiring armed security guards to protect federal buildings there are some people who say you know this is another sign that the u.s. government is preparing for some sort of mass civil unrest what is that. well i think it's been incrementally done again over the last decade plus but really

accelerated in the last few years through g h s through fusion centers through what we go through at the airport and infringing on more and more of our rights and now this is been almost become acceptable behavior by a totally illegitimate department we should abolish the department of homeland security and keep the protection of the homeland under the f.b.i. under state troopers and under the u.s. military and the national guard when necessary that's what the national guard is for jason though i mean you're certainly there's a lot of people who do share your opinion that the department of homeland security should not be in existence but there are a whole lot more people who sign you know this is a department that was formed interest in response to nine eleven you know people say oh another i don't live in has not happened so the department of homeland security must be doing its job. you know how do you reconcile those arguments how do you try to convince people that the d.n.a. test is useless or. well unfortunately many of those terror plots that you're

talking about that have been stopped by g h s and other departments were actually manufactured by those departments in the first place and then when they want to say you know united states citizens might rise up and kill police officers let's look at the hutaree militia they have now gone through two separate trials where two separate judges have acquitted them in a full yet the fear mongering still continues and the memo still continue that are targeting american citizens libertarians ron paul supporters people who believe in god and beyond literally targeting just about every single american citizen that lives here under one guise of the other i know there's also been some talk of a connection between d.h. s. and a lot of the police forces in this country i know that when we saw the occupy wall street crackdown some of those major crackdowns in new york city there's been some talk that the eight thousand agents were involved they've been involved in

infiltrating occupy movements around the country do you think this is legitimate and if so what's going on here. i absolutely think it's legitimate i think it's gone beyond the occupy movement you saw some of that stuff in some of the past g. twenty s. in pittsburgh and other places and i think you're going to still see the evolution of v.h.s. unless we stop this monster that's why we have people like the politan telling us that we're going to have v.h.s. free of said our local wal-mart and our local stores at these telescreens to be worried about terrorism and spy on their neighbors and that's why these memos are leaking again and again and again because people were not only in these departments but work with this department are leaking this to the public because they know it's out of control and wrong what about this most recent purchase that we started talking about with these four hundred fifty million rounds of ammunition that these kind of rare very harsh poets have you seen anywhere i've testified cation for for this because i haven't i haven't seen anything that sort of outlined

exactly what this is going to be used for absolutely not when are we supposed to turn lethal force on american citizens the answer is never not even in the riots even in countries like greece the current economic turmoil and have full blown riots going on it seems every other month where they're throwing molotov cocktails at riot police they're not using fatal intentions they're not using lethal force so why is it ok to bring it to this country the answer it is not ok to bring it to this country and we should not be using lethal force again against what really essentially are political dissidents all right as certainly an interesting discussion to be had a lot of people still sort of unaware that this is going on can't really wrap their head around the fact that these kinds of purchases are being made not by the u.s. military i mean that most people can understand but by the department of homeland security certainly interesting stuff jason burma's director of invisible empire

a new world order to find. well it is now april and in this election year this is the time when it starts to get good when the gloves come off and its campaign starts pulling out its big guns we're already just starting to see some more creative and visual ads and attacks launched like for example bus week after president obama and outgoing russian president dmitry medvedev have accidentally had a private conversation with their microphones on now the group american crossroads it wasted no time using that to attack president obama your mission is simple mr obama. in that sense. but civility it's offensive it's and. needs to be able to transmit the information. that's present in. the treatment.

all right so american crossroads was founded you might remember by karl rove and it's funded by other people one of them is harold simmons an eighty year old billionaire who more or less copyrighted the phrase obama is the most dangerous american alive also behind american crossroads money machine is another eighty year old bob perry a billionaire from texas who you may remember as the mastermind behind another very effective political ad the swift boat campaign back in two thousand and four designed to discredit the democratic presidential nominee john kerry john kerry is not and he lacks the capacity to believe much of. your carry on the war hero he betrayed all his shipmates he lied before the senate john kerry. more than he served with the designers country he most certainly did. well these types of ads are certain to dominate the airwaves and there's several reasons for that but most significant of which is of course the citizens united

case in which the supreme court ruled that corporations have the same power as people and their political expenditures therefore cannot be restricted by the government as a result we have seen just what amounts to a few dozen people play a major role in who sinks and who swims in this election cycle and when you take a close look many of those people actually have a lot in common that we just showed you two of them there's also the koch brothers in particular david koch he's seventy one years old with his hand in several organizations including americans for prosperity and freedom works the money he spends is actually just too much to count out of that money of course did help fund the tea party its message and also many of those conservative republican candidates who won their elections back in two thousand and ten the koch brothers has have championed the causes of less government and also a lot of people just unsure how much power they actually have it seems on many fronts to be limitless and also things of course will stop at nothing to see that

president obama this november is defeated and i think one thing a lot of people will be watching is what george soros decides to do he is also an eighty one year old man you've given about thirty million dollars in two thousand and four two thousand and six and two thousand and eight to democrats and of course of big time donor to obama's two thousand and eight presidential campaign if he gives again he may well be up against a whole lot of donors supporting whoever the nominee is a lot of people right now presuming it will be romney one of romney's biggest donors is frank vandersloot he's sixty three years old he's given a whole lot of money to the pro romney super pac restore our future and he's made a name for himself as being staunchly anti-gay certainly vandersloot is also very conservative and we no doubt haven't seen the last of him so let's keep going let's call it follow the money monday. let's look at foster freeze he's a seventy two year old seventy two years old today his super pac is the red white

and blue fund which is really helped to keep rick santorum in the race to become the republican nominee and then there's a sheldon adelson you've probably heard a lot about him five and eight years old his super pac is called winning the future and in his mind at least for a while he hoped newt gingrich would be a good leader in that future he's been the single largest contributor to gingrich and also a major backer of israel so as we said he's both the candidate backers are very much alike most of them in their seventy's or eighty's and they seem to feel entitled even though i mean they're up there in age they're not going to be around for the next fifty years still they plan to see that their legacy that they leave is a strong foundation for the continuation of their ideologies may have noticed as one candidate i haven't yet mentioned ron paul he's of course still in the race and has some significant financial backing from this man peter teal teal is just forty four years old he was actually born in germany he made a fortune as an early investor in facebook and he's also the founder of pay pal and

he's given about two point six million dollars to the ron paul supporting super pac indorse liberty now there's a lot of ways that made peter till different he's openly gay and to say the very least is very different from his counterparts he's given a considerable amount of money to the methuselah foundation that seeks to expand the human lifespan to one thousand years he's just simply not your typical money man and again ron paul is not your typical presidential candidate. and ron paul has been actually spending some time in our part of the country last week he spoke at the university of maryland and despite speaking in a pretty large venue which he got a tory and there are people some people love to see him were turned away. more than seventeen hundred people came and gave him what seems to be a rock star treatment if you look around the crowd a lot of these people very young always interesting what

a seventy six year old man can draw so much support from so many young people now he's hoping to turn that many of those young people turned out tomorrow the primaries in washington d.c. maryland and wisconsin and so far ron paul has yet to come in first place in a state primary one of ron paul's young supporters has been a frequent guest on our show now she's back with julie barofsky a staff writer at freedom works there julie. of course let's talk about. one of the dilemmas that i see i was at this rally university of maryland and a lot of people i spoke to they had so much passion some of them drove from two hours away just to see ron paul speak but when i asked them if they planned on voting they said i'm probably not but what's the deal here i was actually at university and mailing last week and it was amazing i was lucky enough to get in one of those two thousand people i got in i think what you're seeing is that a lot of who carians are a little bit skeptical about voting because they think there might be voter fraud that's his name that we saw. so they're just going to come out and listen to ron

paul's words and get cites but they're not going to cast the ballots i mean i don't think that that's what ron paul wants. there are a lot around possibilities that will vote i will vote the thing is that we haven't seen the delegate count yet and that's what really matters too when you have to have the most delegates at this point i don't think mitt romney has the man delegates necessary to win the nomination so ron paul could still win in a brokered convention yes certainly a lot of those states the primary elections already their ballots count their delegate count rather has not been official yet so that might start to change in the coming weeks. now this is interesting quite a few people including peter till himself have said this isn't just about the twenty tough election it's also about setting an agenda for the future for twenty sixteen and i want to play a little bit of an interview i had with a young man that i met at university of maryland a similar message it may not be about this election it may not be about the next

one but in candy twenty years from now when you know we're the core voting group you know that ron paul's message will be carried on in whatever straw liberty community at that time who probably has a good chance of winning the white house so i'm wondering i mean i know you you hang out with you associate with a lot of other ron paul supporters this is the conversation that you guys have that this is about more than just right now i definitely agree with him this is all about action this is a movement and i think you'll see ten to twenty years from now a lot of young people actually running for office i know in year for youth is really being people to run for office we're educating ourselves in the austrian school of economics just a masters in the house is going to continue ron paul's legacy rand paul could run for president twenty sixteen i think this is just the beginning and certainly ron paul as we mentioned is very different from some of the other candidates he's running against he's definitely not a stylish man i want to play all part of his message and we'll talk about it. and

there's no way i'm going to give up on the effort to get the republican back to the roots the truth is i'm trying to save the republican party from themselves and. so save the republican party from themselves he says this is the party that wants perpetual war they don't care about presidents who assassinated american citizens referring of course to the national defense authorization act. he stands for civil liberties more than any other candidate i've ever seen why do you think so many people are not latching on to this as you know is the top priority what's going on right now i think the g.o.p. is completely imploding rick santorum has absolutely no appeal to independents and his social conservatism is a poor for the peach react in what people are last seen on to ron paul as ideas he's tripling come out of those that he got in two thousand and eight this revolution it's not going to happen overnight it's going to take many years but we're on our way. is there

a plan in place to sort of make sure that this continues after you know november of two thousand and twelve the planet just to keep people motivated involved in a bunch of young people running for office all right it's certainly interesting i know that you'll keep on this topic this is a topic you care deeply about because you've spoken about it a lot julie barofsky stuff writer at freedom works thanks. well there's a proposed law in the united kingdom and it's making some waves there and it looks like it might pass it would give one of britain's national security agencies the power to monitor all phone calls texts e-mails and online activities all in the name of quote investigating serious crime and terrorism to protect the public now this is interesting because it means internet companies would be required to install a special kind of hardware that would give the agency the ability to assess you know who an individual or group is in contact with how long they've been in contact with them how frequently they talk to them they need still to get

a warrant to access the contents of the e-mails on the phone calls but this as you can imagine this is causing quite a stir there trevor tim is an activist with the electronic frontier foundation he's in san francisco and joins us now to talk more about this forever it's hard to deny that this law looks a whole lot like the u.s. patriot act what do you suppose those lawmakers in great britain are trying to achieve here. well yes once again we're seeing a law being institut by a government by using the quote unquote terrorism excuse which says we need these extra powers to combat terrorism when in fact it and sweeping in pretty much every citizen of the entire country here we have britain proposing a law that was actually rejected in two thousand and six the liberal democrats in the conservative party in two thousand and six were true who were actually in charge now with the minority and they protested the law in the past but now they're saying we have to institute it now. like you said it requires all i p's to

install these black boxes which gives the government the ability to track all text messages emails phone calls where they're going they're going to and where they were sent from and while they claim that there's no content restrictions or they're not allowed to actually take content. all of this information is all they need to then get a warrant and go after the content of the emails anyways i'm wondering if there's a if there's been anything sort of put together that offers citizens of both the u.k. and united states evidence that monitoring your citizens has worked i mean it's there's not a lot of cases that are brought out that you know maybe they're keeping it secret but where they can actually say you know we've been tracking trevor ten for the last three years and because of that really good the says the tracking we realize he's a terrorist you know there's not a lot of cases in which this is working so it seems to me that the government just

wants kind of the have their hand in every partier. yeah absolutely and you can see that with the patriot act the patriot act expanded were known as national security letters which allow the f.b.i. to go after bank records or internet records or any other type of records without much judicial oversight in the three years after nine eleven the issue dumbass two hundred thousand of these national security level letters and they lead to exactly one conviction of terrorism and in fact they didn't even need these national security letters to get that conviction so it really shows you the extent to which with these laws and of getting carried out when they use the terrorism excuse originally to get them passed but then are available for all of the crimes this is the u.k. government isn't even for sending this law would only cover terrorism investigations they said it would be used for other serious crimes and all local law enforcement would have access to it so again it's just a slippery slope down. the tubes to essentially orwellian how does this

work i mean one of the things that they keep reminding people is that you know we're not monitoring what you're saying is just let us see you know who you're talking to and how long you're talking to them one of what's going to take that because you seemed to understand the way the flow of our thoughts are going to take for these authorities to say all right we we need a warrant to actually see what's in it you know. well actually there's a good parallel to us here and now we don't have any evidence this is how the british system will operate but in the us they actually have a different definition for collection and and interception than the normal people do they say that they can actually keyword search and search for phrases and search for people's names in the contents of the e-mails with computer systems they answer the key word in and then they search all the e-mails and then once they find something then the e-mail get sent to the q. and a human being who think it's a warrant and only then is it considered a collection so there are ways around kind of word games and associations where the

government can actually access some of the contents of e-mails without actually saying they're accessing one hundred miles so there are those who do like keyword searches. in order to sort of break through that law all right so that's been the allegation in the national security agency's warrantless wiretapping program where they actually collect all communications whether it's international or domestic and then the computer automatically sift through these e-mails and then then the ones that they think are suspicious including when he were searching the contents of the e-mails to a human being at the n.s.a. then goes about getting you know extra extra protection as far as warrants go but then the dirty work is already done because the computers already searched for what they were looking for now however as you know because we have you on the show sometimes this is a topic that we do talk about a lot on our team let's break down and look at winners and losers when laws like this are implemented are passed doesn't look like it will in great britain who wins

and who loses. well the losers are obviously ordinary citizens because their privacy is being encroached unlike anything we've ever seen they've done nothing wrong yet law enforcement are going to have access to the these you know these timestamp these locations and this has huge impacts both for anonymous speakers who are conducting maybe an anonymous blog talking about politics who may not want their identity taken the law enforcement could go after this with no warrant they don't need to ask they don't need nothing right now in great britain google rejects sixty three percent of requests from government this bill would allow them to take anything they want from google as far as that information is concerned and google would not be able to say no so it's obvious already that they are instituting these frivolous claims from the confirmation and google can reject them this bill will say essentially that google can't say no and the government will be able to get

this information no matter what i thought google can do whatever it wanted you think in many cases that's true but it's it is surprising however that we're not hearing more from companies like google and facebook. speaking out against this cover ten activist for the electronic frontier foundation. let's move on now to syria where syrian president bashar al assad has agreed to a peace plan with an april tenth deadline for an unsupervised ceasefire sorry a u.n. supervised cease fire meantime the united states and a few arab countries have come up with a plan to pay some of the rebels' salaries and also purchase and send high tech communications equipment to assist their fight against the assad regime russia and china have blocked the u.n. security council proposal to intervene militarily but the group that calls itself the friends of syria coalition is still hoping to have more of an influence on what happens inside syria here is archie's sara first it's

a story. talks of ending the violence only incited the frenzy a serious. fight they take issue what place we're getting heavy handed they dispersed a tiny price syrian government gathering so fine a crowd is. pushing them back up the right to their actions a nice thing to say to the already rowdy crowd oh oh. oh. just. ok. good. so. forth. the conference continued throughout the afternoon and they say talk is cheap the friends of syria have pledged millions of dollars with the syrian army effectively putting the rebels on a foreign payroll however even this didn't go as far as the opposition great the

syrian national council and some of the friends of syria had hateful with. the free syrian army becoming stronger than his country turkey is now paying twenty thousand displaced syrians refugee camps near the border see a continual flow of new arrivals and these we met will have tales of war. things just. have to skip over the border violence got through. negotiations they tell us while we're the opposition will not back down from this fight nor they feel better than fast despite the syrian government's along with the international community having signed up to the un envoy to syria case peace plan at the friends of syria conference the parties who already decided who is just not representative the syrians france of syria syrian people support the initial new covenant declared by shooting nation council we see the syrian issue council

illegitimate representative of all syrians the seemingly one sided approach is a part of the reason why russia and china has dismissed the growing. concerns that excluding the assad government from talks undermines did nothing efforts to end the violence if they want to help syria to engage the syrian government in diplomatic talks on neutral ground it's quite quite clear and present assad is not going to. be. except the. western countries are still giving aid to the opposition at the meeting though in the letters to president assad was clear when it comes to the implementation of the peace plan time is running out surf city it's. all right well that's going to do it for the news this hour but stick around the a lot of show is coming up in just a half hour and tonight chris hedges about his lawsuit against the obama admin and .
