three. three. three. three. videos for your media drug free media gone to our t.v. dot com. thanks for joining our ticket half past the hour with me karen taraji sirius sun's government troops will stop all military operations on thursday morning and accordance with the u.n. brokered deadline for a ceasefire with opposition fighters. also in the hour the british prime minister turns his tour of asia into a weapon sales pitch seeking arms deals with nations in the pacific a move many see it as an attempt to undermine china's growing clout whilst. you

have to cut the five months foreign but not coming to the bone as worries over the state of spain's finances and a chance of along with fears of their old be a need for a bailout critics say resorting to more austerity cuts will just aggravate the crisis. now for the second part of the i don't know show that's up next. recently we've been spending a lot of time on the show speaking about the case of tim de christopher the activist who's serving two years in prison for violating the offshore oil and gas leasing reform act of making false statements to the government now it turns out that tim is the only one who violated the offshore oil and gas reform act and he isn't the only one who made false statements to the government the very two big oil companies are also guilty of both of those things but seeing as how they're not really scary environmental activists they will be facing any jail time or basically

two oil companies got us an energy corporation and as a key interest they entered into a written agreement in two thousand and five not to bid against each other in these auctions and then to divvy up the land acquired amongst themselves insuring a ping out of money they had to pay the government or pay to the government would be kept low so basically you have two companies striking backroom deals and what do you know turns up about illegal and in front of justice decided to go after them and in a settlement reached last month and two companies are forced to shell out two hundred seventy five thousand dollars apiece and what has been toted as a landmark settlement i just can't help but ask why is it that those companies get away with a slap on the wrist while the christopher is rotting in a jail cell and us or pay a fine of ten thousand dollars see if these corporations break the same laws and extremely calculated manner in an effort to rip off the us government i was the result no jail time no convictions and if you're wondering what a price tag is for corporations colluding against the government in those auctions

we remind you it's two hundred seventy five thousand dollars and i really reminds me of a segment on the today show eat this not that. now it's. best not bad in this morning fast food breakfast they're a big part of a lot of chains the bottom line if you're not careful you could end up supersized. now why you might think that going to a government auction pretending to be a real bitter to throw a wrench. in the system and draw attention to your causes and activists is mostly harmless it's not that action could come with a prison term and federal charges but if you're a corporation and you get together with another corporation have some meetings do some backroom deals collude picture other to rip off the government and the taxpayers will just get a fine and wag of the finger so please do this and that or the price you pay for breaking the law could get supersized and don't think about the only example of you this not that we've got for you today recently on the show i spoke with activists and he soprani it spent three years in prison for an activist website one the which

in his he and others posted on. and on about protests efforts to shut down an animal testing facility now some of the posts were about legal actions protests other posts covered illegal actions like stealing animals from labs and the government side of the website was encouraging to mystic terrorism so andy on the other website authors were tried and convicted under the animal enterprise protection act now they may make the disruption of an animal enterprise that leads to economic damage or loss of profits charism guess what if you're a corporation you can threaten and intimidate people do things that lead to a loss of profits or that all you want and that's what's called business as usual take for example monsanto the biotech giant that holds patents on alter and soybeans corn cotton sugar beets and canola sea genes well apparently monsanto is a little habit of going after farmers for patent infringement on their seats even though those farmers often claim the seeds ended up on their farms due to cross

contamination so here is a monsanto farmer here's a farmer been sent away after after describing how the lawsuits work. it doesn't matter how get your field trip they can take the whole political film score up from him or make him destroy it and you know no way to know where she got a portion in canola which we have been doing for over fifty years we sure are in need of a big if he sees control of even we lost all that research when the court ordered true so according to the public patent between one thousand nine hundred seven and april twenty ten months and so filed one hundred forty four lawsuits against farmers for patent infringement and more than five hundred farms are investigated for that a year so basically monsanto fight the farm that has its genes and their crops then they go after them in court for infringement and usually those farms collapse under the pressure of pressure of the legal costs of fighting the giants and make event once again we've got to do this not that scenario if you're an activist with

a website that supports the actions of others and those actions result in the loss of profits for animal testing facility well then you can be tried as a terrorist but if you're a company that goes out for small farms for pan infringement because your patented seeds blow into their land and take their entire crop resulting in a loss of profits of that small farmer well that's another game the office so please do this and not that and obviously we don't want anybody to actually do any of those things but the point here to us is that the government has a trend of going after activists and throwing them in jail and when corporations do similar things they face laughable fines or in some cases they even get the aid of the government just yesterday david sirota was telling us about agag loss but prosecute activists or journalists are trying to expose the illegal actions of factory farmers. there's a lot of states right now. basically criminal was. over infiltrating a factory farm taking pictures of factory farm when authorized and this is in

response to the consumer backlash of the factory farming industry meanwhile you have revolutions about the mistreatment of animals a century. so that's just the latest trend in criminalizing the activists all turning a blind eye to the sins of corporations and one way you can fight this is by helping us in our efforts to figure out which congressperson requested that environmental activist him to christopher be put in isolation we've spoken about it a lot on the show so i'm not going to go through the whole story again but you can learn more about instance in isolation which you have been released from now and how to help us on our facebook page and remember if you do find anything out that you want to share with us please e-mail us at ts producer at g. mail dot com. our we take another short break but when we come back the health of the next sopa a law that may not be through thought about why the cybersecurity bill says i think scarier the details of the return.

her. mum. mum. mum heard. this is true still keeps its secrets but now it's time to move feel of the soviet farms and aussies.

is cispa the next sopa you may have seen it had by making its way across the internet in the last week or so so tonight i want to clear things up i know these cyber intelligence sharing and protection act better notices but it's not the next so but the truth is that it's even scarier and we spoke about it just last week and it's just one of several competing cybersecurity bills making their way through congress but since the specifically is the house version and it's the worst of them all under the veil of doing things for cyber security purposes a very broad and vague definition it would allow companies to collect and monitor private communications and then share those with the government and anybody else but even compared to sopa in the sense that it's already starting to anger

a large portion of the internet community it's in the past we told you about how private companies like speeds facebook other telecoms have been gathering information about you to share with third parties and of course thanks to the patriot act the government has the ability to do all kinds of monitoring including the authority to intercept a wire oral and electronic communications as long as it's for the sake of fighting terrorism but cisco would add a brand new or wally in dimension where the government intelligence firms can work with private companies think alike your personal information and the law doesn't specify where the information would go as in which particular government agency so that means that it could end up in the hands of the n.s.a. or another military agency for all we know and let's face it they're probably the ones who would want this information the most l. oh did i mention if you're being watched you probably wouldn't even know about it and you probably already have lots of questions right so what we're getting monitored what's hyper private information coming on injured what can the

government do with it once it actually has that information well frankly we have a lot of questions because as of now the language in this bill is so incredibly they according to the bill theft or misappropriation of private or government information intellectual. pretty or personally identifiable information all the information collected so that opens up a lot of doors and as trevor chim brought up last week and let us conveniently overlook privacy laws because after all they say that they're on the lookout to keep you safe. so what it does is essential e cars out a cyber security exception to all of our privacy laws and then once it gets to the government and all of this information your you know your communications your private communications we don't know exactly where it goes or what they're using of course we don't know which agency it goes to or whether they're allowed to share between agencies so they're allowed to use this information for other than cybersecurity purposes like normal criminal investigations and we know in the

writers' guild that the n.s.a. is probably going to be one of the biggest benefactors. good to know right the government could monitor share even hold on to any and all communications were discovered by private companies and we don't even know where to go now is this broad language that has so many people so worried anonymous is just one of the many critics out there h.r. three five two three pointing out that it's allows the government to interpret the law in such a number of degrees that any online communication could be suspect and thus unknowing unknowingly monitored and i guess that we can't be too shocked by this legislation after all cybercrime has been declared enemy number one here in d.c. and surprise surprise lawmakers that are heading up the cyber war committees are also the ones who are sponsoring this bill both dutch ruppersberger and mike rogers are ranking members of the permanent select committee on intelligence and rogers explain that he's backing this bill because every day u.s. businesses are targeted by nation state actors like china for cyber exploitation

and theft the broad base of support for this bill shows that congress recognizes the urgent need to help our private sector better defend itself from these attacks how convenient throwing a little light about china being the bad guys and the fear. longer the fear mongering the crap out of politicians until they side on that is bill but sadly that's kind of what's happening thus far this bill already has one hundred sponsors after all you want to speak out national security and those are the only politicians in favor of cis but there are a large number of corporations that are voicing their support see facebook microsoft horizon and i.b.m. they're all amongst the corporations who think that's a good idea according to andrew coots over a digital trends the reason they're in favor of this bill over sopa and pipa when it comes down to business see if your members soaker would essentially force companies to police the web hunt down pirates putting the onus on them so of course they said no but this been different it will actually make life easier for those

companies because they're not responsible for finding anything they would be protected against any personal lawsuits from privacy advocates because all this would be the law plus they'd be part of the bigger plan to stop any cybersecurity threat so politically this is a win win for them so let's get back to the original question here is sista the new sopa not really a number of tech companies are actually backing this bill unlike sopa and although some are concerned that could even be interpreted to go after copyright infringement it doesn't stop there this thing is about security not just piracy and when it comes to the congressional signatures sopa had about eighty supporters until the internet blackout on january nineteenth forced them to change their minds but both bills have raised the ire of the internet community for their alarmingly broad language when it comes to monitoring the internet sadly though we haven't seen the same outcry over this bill that we saw when it came to sopa thankfully though the advocacy groups out there and anonymous do continue their campaign against h.r.

three five to three. given the speed but the latest censorship battle could sneak through congress however anyone concerned over the future of the internet should be on the lookout for sr as it continues to be considered on capitol hill. and in fact an arm is already hacked into two companies that have openly backed says but the real question here is can anything be done to stop this legislation can the internet community perform another sopa miracle without the help of the major tech companies to kill this bill before it comes along well that's was going to have to wait. or taken one last break but when we come back he says it is name is the only thing wrong with the bush tax cut that's right bush is back in the thinking hole by torchlight award and i don't have the hour of college for a few more pieces and the da just wants to hack into new york concert with the.

issues that so much resentment against the people at area and think this is one way to describe china is truly amazing a sense on the international stage but with success comes. sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then he glimpse something else you hear sees some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you don't like charge comes the big picture.

our guide five resides full time award and tonight honor goes to former president george w. bush for coniston he may add the new york historical society last night the delegate i was speaking about the merits of low taxes and his vision for economic growth if anybody want really want to hear about economic policy from the guy the letter to the brink of disaster but anyway he went on to speak about the tax cuts

that he championed bawn office and then he had this to say about it secondly if you raise taxes on those if you let the i was the more called the bush tax cuts they're called some other body's tax cuts they're probably less likely to to be racist. you know we all know that george w. doesn't come off as the most clever guy in the world but he's really i think that americans are that does he think we wouldn't associate him with the trillions in tax cuts that he consistently praised during his administration if they didn't have a name slapped on the front i don't know maybe that's or maybe he was trying to be cute like he was and he made this joke at the two thousand and four radio and television correspondents association dinner those weapons of mass destruction got to be somewhere. now wasn't that funny mr president when your lies helped lead to the deaths of

thousands of americans hundreds of thousands of iraqis and added trillions to the national debt oh plus a little quick last night wasn't the only reason that he acted like a complete fool take a look at his justification for continuing to push economic snake oil much of the political debate and i just rightly so it's about our balance sheet that makes sense to me and you look at the the good to g.d.p. is pretty high but we believe that in order to solve the balance sheet first and foremost you've got to grow the private sector most businesses pay tax at the individual income tax level therefore if you raise taxes on the so-called rich you're really raising taxes on the job creators. now there are a number of things wrong with this first the public sector can be crucial to economic growth this yesterday on monday hangover we were talking about how federal funds for job retraining programs are running out it's a troubling development of american workers life in crucial skills with the if an

official excuse me official unemployment rate refusing to drop below eight percent then there's the fact that government spending itself leads to private sector jobs and when those jobs result from crucial public investments like those in education research technology and transportation there's an even greater multiplier effect now thirdly if tax cuts actually did shrink the debt and we probably wouldn't be in this mess in the first place just take a look at the orange part on this graph here the center on budget and policy priorities as to made last year the over half of the federal deficit by twenty nineteen going to come from bush's tax cuts but if bush offer up a rick perry hoops for his role that so-called budget price is no he does offers more of the same and finally and perhaps the centerpiece of bush's smoke and mirrors tax policy is the idea that tax cuts on the bridge harm job creators and if you believe that and i know a great ski lodge of the bahamas that you should go visit them a crab's that consistently make the point they would only repeal the bush tax cuts on households making over

a quarter million dollars that amount quarter million only two percent of all american households actually make that and twenty it's an analysis from a nonpartisan research organization shows that less than three percent of small businesses would be affected by rolling back bush's tax rebate so as it might sound a great deal small business to me but if the tax cuts are to stay trillions will be added to the debt over the next ten years and you would pay if the proposed house republican budget is any indication it would be the most vulnerable income bracket by the way that spends a higher percentage of its money than the wealthy making or more likely to create jobs and bush's two percent because all the habits die hard and bush by the necessary to shill for the super rich again because he wishes the tax cuts the rock of the deficit just didn't have his name on them and then no one could blame him for anything. well that's why he wins tonight jules i'm award.

five guys in time for have the hour and joining me a busy evening lauren lyster house of the capital account here on r.t. and michaele labor journalist and staff writer for in these times. thanks for joining me guys thank you all right so what a shocker the feds want to break into another thing so they can spy on you the program homeland security has launched a research project and find ways of helping instigate mean console's to obtain sensitive information about those gamers so you might wonder why gamers all up and figure out where. the u.s. government is located how it can. export some place it's worried the console's might be used by a pitiful terrorists to carry secret conversations through the guy in chat functions that millions sign criminals could potentially be talking to your kids and over to try to should parents play very. sorry i

did was laugh i have a lot of the story we have little kids there. anyway really you know i think what's funny is that if you pedophile and terrorist aren't you anything it'll make it's like p.r. for people to support it when in reality it might be an excuse for a million other things that don't really address it was really messed up right here to use their gaming consuls for all kinds of things you know play station in reno like you go online and who knows gamers in more than sit in their parents' basement and communicate with other people the world work after whatever it is. i mean look at porn on the internet the one thing we could point to get a. little kids you know stay clear of that stuff you crash your game of gaming. you know i just wonder how far they're going to take of the game the more likely terrorist. you have to be

careful with what you put in your living room because i have friends that work in tech and it's very scary what they're trying to do with those gaming console they have been cable console they have spine to where they can see when you lose attention so that they know what's advertised to you. i don't know if this is rolled out yet but i know this is all in the works and this is all part of the same gray area of what can go wrong. in your consul well this is the big story is actually kind of. kind of related i guess except for it's not really being done secretly this is legislation in fact it's not just the d h s trying to break into your gaming console without knowing about it but. this specifically we can talk about new york right now where they announce an initiative dubbed operation game over and so they're removing the profiles registered sex offenders for certain games and take a look at what the general. shudder of it provided a list of the states registered sex offender two leading online gaming companies

who in turn cancel the accounts of more than thirty five hundred people. i mean is that fair because you were a registered sex offender never allowed to game again they already can't do anything and they're not able to live many places many of them are stuck out in the boonies because of all the regulations what else are they supposed to do other than play video games yeah i mean you're such you know really start. being a sex offender you know it going on too much of it so you know why are some people actually the sex offender label slapped on them for something like flashing somebody when they were like drunken college not that there are there are actual sex offenders out there that are completely sickos and it's a really tough balance basically it is trying to find because there are always those loopholes where you have a couple that maybe someone was over eighteen and several was underage and it was a normal couple that stayed together and then someone's out and that being a sex offender for life and now they can play video games now we know i don't mean

a lot. that's. probably going to. guess what despite how much everyone is freaking out about birth control and everything in this country teen pregnancy rates are actually record low record low in the seven decades and such statistics were last collected and i think there's you know people are going to offer all kinds of reasons all those people standing on playing. maybe this m.t.v. show. so. that's what. this year he. sued using you know which group was he thinking. i was a joke but to make a life look pretty miserable if you're

a teen mom yeah i don't know what does this say that abstinence only education actually works and you know i think this is i'm pretty bearish on the economy but this was something that made me go because the fact that teens are delaying sex which was one of the things that reasons that was given they said increased contraception until a sex maybe you need the economy is improving a little bit we know that teens have been hit very hard by unemployment sex is free therefore the fact that rates are going to maybe need some more money. i mean i don't really believe that but i did think that if you play interesting reason. you're going to go about why don't we think about. why i just think that obviously you know if you have sex ed where you can teach kids about everything that comes along with it from the fact that i guess abstinence is the only one hundred percent sure way to get you know as you get pregnant to all of the other options that are out there like contraception the kids will get smarter about it i agree with her

better choice is a good thing rick santorum suspended his campaign so we can't mess these numbers up . who are we going to miss rick santorum or. rick santorum who will draw on national. was wrong you know. i got a bit of a thanks for joining me tonight that's it for tonight's show thanks for tuning in make sure you come back tomorrow and in the meantime you'll forgive me for families want to show our facebook and follow us on twitter if you missed any of the night's show or any other nights always catch the you tube dot com we want to show they will find the interview in its entirety coming up next is it.
