today on our team it's a secret group you're not supposed to know about some of the world's best and brightest minds are to step in upon virginia for an annual meeting and as the build a conference will open their book of secrets coming up next i wish i could tell you that the world is a safer place today. it's not. now that mitt romney has clinched the republican nomination or starting to see what type of president he would be to tell you why this presidential candidate is making war instead of peace. and he's a rapper who's using his lyrics to change the world i'm talking about a more robust moral technique to songs of talk about everything from civil liberties to civil unrest in our studio for an exclusive interview.

to wednesday may thirtieth five pm in washington d.c. i'm having martin and you're watching our t.v. for the last half century and early organization called the builder group has met annually all around the world in total secrecy behind closed doors and with no official press coverage it started nine hundred fifty four when the world's most powerful people joined forces in the netherlands at hotel bill de burgh or prince burger hard a former nazi party member was integra in its formation. last year it was in zurich switzerland is believed that the group discussed how to handle the arab spring at that conference and this year they're meeting in the wealthy city of chantilly virginia right next to washington d.c. the group is comprised of one hundred thirty or so of the world's top of leaks in politics banking food oil media and national defense some of the most notable attendees have been ben bernanke bill clinton timothy geitner bill gates tony blair

and colin powell others include queen beatrix of the netherlands prince charles george prince charles george soros and alan greenspan henry kissinger and david rockefeller are integral involved as members of the building burg steering committee which is responsible for carefully crafting who'll be attending the meetings every year some of called the builder group a harmless think tank or just a discussion group but people have been following it for years so there is something much more sinister at the root they claim that the group gets together to plan a world policy for a new world order of global domination at the subjugation of the rest of humanity unfortunately most of you won't hear much of a peep about the group's doings or even the existence of it on the corporate media this could be because the media moguls that have attended are sworn to secrecy check out what rockefeller's said about the media coverage of building berg and his memoirs multi-billionaire david rockefeller said quote some even believe we're part of a secret cobol working against the best interests of the united states characterizing

my family and me as internationalists and of conspiring with others around the world to build a much more integrated global political and economic structure one world if you will and if that's the charge i stand guilty and i'm proud of it he also allegedly said that he's grateful to media outlets like the washington post the new york times whose magazine directors have attended their meetings and promised to keep it discretionary for almost forty years saying it would have been impossible for the group to develop its plan for the new world if it would have been subject to the lights of publicity. during all those years while the public might not know exactly what's going on there many people agree that the people who attend the meetings are the world's most powerful movers and shakers just take a look at this drudge poll of poll conducted to ask people what they really think of the build of our conference over half of the people polled were said that the people who attend the conference are the real power masters of the world fourteen percent say they think it's just

a false conspiracy theory and thirty five percent say it's a little bit of both on the less the secret meeting is definitely coming more and more into the public eye where the participants want to or not meanwhile while building attendees were questioned by independent journalists about what really goes on there they completely skirt the issue or even deny having attended in some instances so what is really going on in these meetings all week and i'll be in chantilly virginia covering the build a bird group to see if we can get a scoop about that what the people there are thinking thousands are expected to protest and they'll be there in protest at the conference and i will be getting coverage and getting back to you on that so stay tuned even though america's military budget is bigger than the next ten countries combined that's apparently not enough for a presidential hopeful mitt romney republican presidential nominee recently said that america needs to grow its military and maintain it as an incomparable force of military domination in the world so as the world really is unsafe as newly minted

mitt would have you think we'll talk about this and more joins me now ed craik a six credit case. sorry again say that associate director for reason magazine ed what do you think about mitt's recent speech where he says you know we need to keep growing the military and keep america strong otherwise we're going to be subject to all these threats in the world. well i think some of those threats come a kind of blind growth of the military but i think speaking to the point of mitt romney saying that increase defense spending would improve the economy i don't think that that flies that's not going to fly unless you want to start a land war and i'm going to be mitt romney is going to go out and start a land war in defense robert gates if we can start another land war war anyway because we don't have the money to and we is not going to come from nowhere and he knows this is a this is true so you doing here is just trying to kind of make sure the bases with

him because it is difficult to bridge trade president obama as weak on defense at least from the way traditional mainstream republicans look at it so he may need this may be a sign that he feels that he needs to kind of. preemptively strike to get these people to keep them on his side. interesting point about you know i mean some could argue that the country is actually going broke because of her defense spending but that's so that's. i want to ask you do you think it's a false dichotomy and mitt romney is there presenting in san diego saying you know if we cut defense to spend money on social services our our country is going to basically be completely weak so we can't do that and you hear people booing when he even mentions the fact about spending money on social services are you looking at more libertarian minded where where do you stand on that on my account of putting on basically saying that we cannot spend money on social services that our country

every week and broke. i mean we can't spend money here we're spending about twice as much as we bring in so that number's got to come down a lot of the tea party republicans that all got elected in two thousand and ten admit that part of that number to go down is going to happen to defense spending the idea that you can't the social spending required defense spending cuts i think is kind of a false choice and i think he's kind of doing that because it is the kind of the easiest way to make it even says obama and kind of belittle this in between us because just last week in foreign policy there was a article that explained how making a very serious case that mitt romney could well is brought home a secretary of state because their foreign policy is not really that different and so this is a way for mitt romney to try to say that stereotypical of the democratic presidents week more slowly than i think he understands that there's not money there to spend more on defense that we're spending already because the so-called cuts aren't really cuts defense than still growing it's growing at

a slower pace so i think this is just a lot of hot air and i don't know how much mitt romney even believe what it is that he said there in san diego so what do you think should be done you know that the pentagon just keeps on growing exponentially doubled since nine eleven what do you think that the that the government should do do you think that there's even a legitimate threat at all to deal with. well yes there are definitely legitimate threats deal with i don't know if that's a threat that we're dealing with i think. for years now what the a lot of the a lot of military experts from outside the establishment have said is that there needs to be a radical reorganization and reform of the military and so you can look at that i think there is a dollar of defense spending is not a dollar of defense structure and i think that's the policy that fallacy that our we need to break out of if we're going to reform defense spending because there's a b and we saw this with the mitt romney speech in san diego that if we just spend more on defense will be stronger but as our teachers reported thirty three f. one abrams tanks the congress has ordered department defense to buy nobody wants

them that's not making a stronger that's a jobs program and frankly the military is not a job through over and it's strange that mitt romney would kind of approach it what do you think at about i mean this choice that we're given between two or presidents pretty much one is saying that we should ramp up more more more i mean who are you supporting. i mean i'm not sure yet but there is daughters gary johnson. i mean he tried briefly running as a republican and he was a little more temperate there i think the problem is there's kind of been a bipartisan consensus that's formed since george bush left where once president obama adopted president bush's foreign policy it kind of no longer became a big deal for democrats i suspect some of that will change if mitt romney say we get elected because i think a lot of people are kind of holding their breath a little bit because they don't want to seem like they're talking against their president but ones of mitt romney doing the drones in the kill list and all these

all the sudden hey hold on you know the fifth amendment can be satisfied by the executive branch maybe all these people who are in saying much now about it will say more now that there's not people on the left saying me now but the democrats as an opposition party maybe four years eight years from now will feel less warlike candidate though i wouldn't leave the whole middle short or how sad is that that it has to be a different party for people to realize that these policies are wrong i mean why is it so normalized under obama and why are people so up in arms about pretty much the same policies under bush. i mean i don't know i think george bush was a visit president in kind of the same way of the visit in terms and he might have done nothing he can give his if england terms of it he had a personality that some americans love and some americans hate and broccoli bamma has a similar kind of personality you just happens to be people who love george bush who brought obama but the end of the day the american foreign policy establishment there's a certain thing that needs to get done in terms of u.s.

foreign policy and that kind of the the same from one company to the next i mean mostly i think it's because especially now the economy being so high on people's minds they're not really thinking about foreign policy and as it were and now be a level of troops in afghanistan or iraq in kind of waging more of these wars with drones and with. new technology it even further from people's minds and brinkley i think that's kind of why people aren't here people aren't to be into it because it's not them. isn't it what do you think about it not being on the radar i mean it should be right i mean here we are spending more and more meramec is ramping up all these threats and yet people seem to be totally detached with the fact that it's like the elephant in the room i mean no one's really talking about the astronomical defense spending and the light of this recession sure know what it is and i think that's that's it's unfortunate and i think there was an opportunity that was amiss in two thousand and ten after some of these people out of congress who came in who

actually were saying we can take a look at the fund spending we have nobody actually want to take them up on that offer so the decisions to make on spending cuts are going to be hard and that's just the way it's going to be and voters aren't we tuned into those kind of form media as much of the should be. you don't know me to be are supportive are supportive of the fact that there is a part of instances where do you think that there is just a strong lobbying industry from the defense corporations to the congress and i mean how come it just seems so obvious i mean here we go you know over fifty percent of our income taxes over fifty percent of government spending is on bolstering up the defense we already spend more than the next ten countries combined i mean what do you think it is that's preventing them from really taking us on. i mean a lot of it is it is the military and it's a lot of it. is establishment and if you look for example.

two hundred thousand troops get early discharges a lot of the army been laid on. top general. so i think it is about. what a lot of things and government does that it's a great. you know the great community it's a big retreat so there's a lot of people a lot of money we are going to keep going but eventually when the money runs out there's no more complex there's no work for the gravy train no one will definitely see when that point comes thanks for joining us i was at krauss game associate editor for reason magazine time to check in with our web team and see what they're working on our team's web producer andrew blake is in the newsroom to tell us what he's got cooking and what's going on man you know every so i only got like a minute so you have to really hang in there with me i'm going to go for it ok parmeet olsen she's a journalist over england she has a book coming out next week and in the book she says that she managed to do some interviews talk to a bunch of people get all on the internet some stuff and find a whole bunch information about the activist collective anonymous but specifically

the big offshoot that had like fifty days of terror last year now according to the olson there is a lot of crazy stuff going on that we're only starting to really figure out now we know that last june the f.b.i. vanished infiltrate the group infiltrate the group and work with an informant sabu remember when that story broke a couple months ago absolutely ok well now according to olsen while sabu was already working for the f.b.i. julian assange and wiki leaks was trying to work with wall sec and taking down government websites and exchanging secret crypt dating and decrypting data so if that is the case and these timelines all work out some time after the cia web site went down but before the disbandment of all sec and after the. infiltrated the group and julian a son and wiki leaks was working with well seventy f.b.i. was watching so is the f.b.i. watching. it's kind of wild that you think wow that is intense yet did i

get all of you got time to. go to our t. dot com site usa read about that when we got a couple more followers on twitter r t underscore america will definitely check out things sander so those are the web producer and your blake with a preview of what's trending today on our web site america is losing its luster and its famed phrase land of opportunity is a growing migration of highly skilled children of immigrants leaving the u.s. for countries with the merging economies artie's marina pork brings us the story of two young entrepreneurs chasing the american dream in india. karen in asia is an american citizen pursuing his professional dream in a country his parents abandoned decades ago the twenty six year old relocated to one of the world's fastest emerging economies seeking the success and security that america just couldn't offer i thought that in india there was more scope to actually break through and do something that was revolutionary rather than just

follow the trends the berkeley graduate has launched a health care business in new delhi providing medical services to people of all ages and asia isn't just an entrepreneur he's the face of a growing migration trend which shows highly skilled children of u.s. immigrants moving to less developed lands abroad for a better quality of life if you look at developing countries india especially. there's a very different type of entrepreneur that comes out here there's things that are tangible that you can see being fixed and i think that's one of the reasons why people are coming out here there's a different opportunity here you can do something and actually see the fruit of your labor today's u.s. labor market currently offers only one job for every eight applicant tonight while youth unemployment remains above six percent my parents i always tell them like you know like any kind of security you think you have is completely false because anything could happen and you could lose everything armed with a degree in environmental geography and public policy the saami hasn't been able to

land a secure job since two thousand and eight when i started applying and i just wasn't getting any response i was completely like at a loss i don't know what to do the twenty seven year old will soon be relocating to india where she plans to launch an environmental nonprofit organisation for sustainable living she says the american dream her immigrant parents chased three decades ago has become something of a nightmare one of my main reasons for. not wanting to live here is if i start a family so i don't want my kids to deal with what i had to deal with in terms of. like going to school paying one hundred fifty thousand dollars for an education that didn't really get me anywhere and you know god knows how much it's going to cost you know in the future a rapid accidents of enterprising americans may cost the country its economic supremacy and competitive muscle if skilled innovators are chasing brighter futures outside their borders many experts say the land of opportunity stands to become the

land of last labor i can assure you from countless talks i've had with big business leaders you in new york that they agree most large companies that are multinational corporations are referring to the united states these days as a quote unquote much sure economy that's a polite way of saying no growth anymore over the decades india was drained of its best and brightest as millions fled for a more lucrative life in america today's trend may see that brain drain in reverse . r.t. new york something you rarely see these days in the m.t.v. generated music industry mainstream hip hop with a message of rock truth for the better known as a model technique is a proven born harlem raised hip hop artist and political activist a self described social guerrilla to text views about politics religion classes and

racism are expressed poetically and powerfully through his lyrics and some of his albums packed more storable relevance and entire school history book to make ten control over his work tech is never signed with a label which gives an ultimate freedom of expression is a vocal supporter of many political movements and struggles for justice since the occupy wall street movement started last year has been an active voice of support for the cause and now a new documentary coming out july tenth gives us an intimate look at his life music and activism here's a sneak peek. but. the boys from. all around the world in the name brad you're probably if i was someone else simply because of the music i made then there was no way i could take it in. i think. it makes. it. easy. for me. to join

me now in studio to just discuss more about his beliefs and his work is a moral technique himself thanks for coming in studio thank you very much i appreciate it so why do you think that politically conscious hip hop is not more in the mainstream today. the reality of this is that it wasn't always that way in the birth of during the birth of hip hop and then subsequently about a decade afterwards there was always a presence of that voice that voice of truth whether it was public enemy and others x. clan individuals who brought these taboo subjects these things that were supposed to be resolved by civil rights struggles which were never resolve things like racism and classism unspoken truths the black eye of america things that i felt were necessary to describe especially in an age where we're at war with an idea of

terrorism rather than the causes of such a thing so i think that for me it was important to maintain as much control over my art form as possible which is why i chose to be independent and become the label myself as opposed to signing with a large corporation that would then have a process of approval over the work that i do and i honestly you know will probably make a lot less money per unit and that's always going to have more economic control as well i think someone said it best you can have political sovereignty without having economic sovereignty and indeed what do you think changed in the industry i mean you're saying you know we had tang and all these people that you're talking about now and it just seems like now it's so manufactured do you think that it's an element or a mechanism of control to keep kids kind of out of touch with these subjects you know i'm not responsible for that far reaching conspiracy theory but i think that there are a group of people who feel that the corporate system specifically targeted that

sort of message and said no we want to turn this into an entertainment form you know and intend to tame and you know if you don't like the idea that they did that with that then you're not going to like what they do with t.v. either the way they tell people oh you know what no honey you're too fat you're going to have to go throw up somewhere in order to be on television or you know what. put this on you or you're going to play this sort of character everything you know it's turned into almost a caricature of itself not that everything is like that just saying that in the majority of mainstream things that you'll find it's kind of built around that they found a cookie cutter the same way hollywood did you know how they would got tired of doing original stuff so they said hey let's just remake all this stuff from the eighty's and then we're going to rape a bunch of cartoon series and make this come to life and you know the kid and everyone who's thirty or forty you'll go see it you know now mind you they do this in a very very creative way sometimes and sometimes it's a flop so it's just hit and miss and i think that for me the way that was explained

when i was a lot younger was that hip hop always had these two characteristics in the same way you know on a plantation people saying songs not because they felt happy of being there but because they imagine another life swing low sweet chariot coming for to carry me home to take me to another life and then there was a different slave that said no man this plantation is ok we're going to get out of here right now so that everybody wants to hear misery and chaos and destruction sure we want to party we want to dance but there has to be a balance because we cannot become a caricature of ourselves people cannot be defined by one specific tiny thing that happens to be a piece of who they are you know and i think that marginalization was given free range by the industry rather than being curtailed and held to a higher standard. and talking about just corporations want to maximize their profits and that's really why we see a lot of the ills in this world let's talk a little bit about the upcoming bill the group coming out this weekend and chantilly when you think of groups like this the trade commission all of these new

world order a leaders establishment think tanks let's say do you think that there's a more sinister thing going on that there is this in the various groups of people trying to control or dominate the globe order you do is look at it like you just said and just say it's just a group of rich elitists trying to maximize company profits from all across the spectrum i think that when you discuss it you don't need to use these ideas of. you know that for a fanatic would rely on to say hey you know maybe they're planning some secret attack or something no but all corporations are a nation and to themselves you know they're defined as a human being even though the majority of them and practically all of them are soulless and i think that at some point you know when when you approach that level of understanding you can excuse it in that manner you can say oh yeah this is just a business is just how they make money but real people's lives are being affected you know there's there's almost seems to be a meticulous strategy to keep anything that is thought provoking out of the

mainstream and that's a shame and i think that there's a new generation of mcs that are coming out now which make a different type of music and i think that's good you know i think that we need that sort of diversity and have pop to be a resurgence of the culture now you know is it a corporation that decides these things for human beings you know it doesn't need to be a secret society. a mcdonald's they go tell you the recipe for what they have in how they make a fried these things a secret we don't even know the ingredients that's in the food america makes it incredibly difficult for people to understand the genetically modified things that they're consuming and a lot of times you know it's been a struggle to even get them to label it that so if they're so keen on keeping a secret the food that could potentially cause cancer in people do you think they would give an inkling of thought to what could potentially be dangerous about words that are set in music that people listen to and i don't care. what about the regulatory bodies that people rely on to pass these foods on of the public i mean

why do you or the other is scientific or the idea that you know this country is led by moral leaders by people who are distinctly above in terms of their decision making capabilities and others i mean when you see them talk in congress you obviously tell that a lot of these people are incredibly uncultured and uncouth so when the finger is pointed at hip hop for being the cause of these things in the youth. you know always remember that when you point a finger there are three fingers pointing back at you or reflects life i mean let's talk about you know you talk about false flags a lot you talk about these these perpetrated acts of terror by our own government on to the rest of the world and onto our society why do you think it is that people just don't question this conventional wisdom like you're saying i mean americans are so blissfully unaware of these like i wouldn't you know what that's a common misconception to me that america is somehow more ignorant than the rest of

the world i think that is an interesting analogy could be made let's say there's a homeless person who's an alcoholic lying in the middle of the street who is his alcoholism really affecting with science himself tearing his own life apart you know let's take a different person a school bus driver taking your kids and my kids to school who does his how holders of affect a hell of a lot more people a hell of a lot more lives you know if someone's going to be ignorant in some small town in the middle of siberia or some you know rural village to pick a cousin and you know who is their ignorance truly affecting but who's ignorance is truly affected when you have someone that invades the wrong country you know or decides that you know these are acceptable casualties or collateral damage or there's no even conversation about who drones are really hitting i think at that point our ignorance is just more for the public's display that other people's and since we're driving the world as a school bus driver that our ignorance affects a lot more people's lives than anybody else's but i don't think that americans are

naturally more ignorant i think that they have a lot more things to pacify themselves with then other countries and i think that plays into a little bit of the apathy that takes place when we talk about human rights and real tangible things that affect people in other places sure it's more mirrored back to us in our own culture the conditioning of our media really is certainly more penetrated in our society than other countries. what i want to talk to you about the occupy wall street movement i know that you've been a vocal supporter of it if you look back at history though i mean there really hasn't ever been an organic uprising we see in vietnam it was the draft that really was the catalyst for bill to get out and now our military is privatized and i don't really see there being that catalyst or that driving force what do you think it's possible to have a peaceful nonviolent revolution in the face of the biggest military in the world. i think that there could be enough pressure put on the government by people in

order to influence change i think that the impossible is possible you know the united states for vietnam who lost you know russia for afghanistan and lost you know if those things are possible then why can't a wakening people and making them not just believe everything i say or you or anybody else's but rather asking them to question everything that they're told and critically think and make of that be the one thing that's associated with americans that's the catalyst that we need in order to create the change that we want to say this past the litmus test where we can honestly say this is logical and this is reasonable this is humane we have a double standard forever is that how we're going to live claiming that we don't sponsor terrorism and we don't torture people you know for the rest of the world that examines what goes on you know what it looks like it doesn't look like we're war with radical islam doesn't look like we're at war with communism it looks like we're at war with people that say no to us in a second rapper and actor is immoral.
