a genuine uprising or any form of political instability in a country that is housing its fifth naval fleet it's very important because right now after the election or right around the u.s. election during the war drums against iran they're going to start beating those again and start hyping up a conflict with iran the fifth fleet is a really important piece on the chess board for the united states so obviously bahrain is going to do whatever washington said but this isn't direct contradiction to hillary clinton who's parading around with the friends of syria and the arab league and talking about them about democracy while the u.s. is funding al qaeda and suicide bombers in syria so it doesn't make it there's no a lot of hypocrisy is coming out of washington when you look at the situation in bahrain which is very ugly. having said that the world's biggest global body had said the u.n. suspending syria's membership the organization of islamic cooperation will also hold an emergency summit to try to agree

2:04 pm
destroy the country and many syrians and arabs have come to see that for what it there's. syria is supposed to fall into chaos and fragmentation as has happened in somalia before and so the united states has been engaged and employment thing that design of creation of chaos in syria so what we have here is an armed rebellion that is being supported financed and politically covered why these people the dollars mainly money earned from selling oil in the service of imperialism and these people have been raising and waving the flags of freedom and democracy but we have seen some of their these they have committed in syria i would say at least more than half the population are. are solidly behind. the regime now and these people may have grievances and they may have things that they want to change about that regime but they are definitely against the
2:05 pm
fragmentation of syria and for syria's blood as has been happening recently as you have seen. still ahead for this hour on the program for our own for the cameras amid growing big brother criticism in the united states of the government said to be secretly spying on the american people connecting nationwide c.c.t.v. in a bid to detect suspected terrorists got more than they had if you also look at just two might benefit from keeping part of asia unstable and filled with terror to explore the largest province of pakistan. ecuador's president says he hopes to decide on julian assange his political asylum plea later this week rafael correa told state t.v. that there were still legal issues to examine before making what he called a responsible decision julian assange has been holed up in ecuador's london embassy since june the wiki leaks editor is wanted on sex crimes charges in sweden but believes the extradition to stockholm will see him ship straight off to the u.s.

2:07 pm
amount to possibly thousands of machines now difficult to sell us shoes in any of the trading they would actually seen actually a group like antiques a new group we able to mount sustained attack but nevertheless it's not impossible also it is in fact possible to do this with thousand machines without will change action. or some organization behind. two awful co-founder steve wozniak who says the wiki leaks founder julian assange has become a serious thought in the side of the u.s. government. on the surface it sounds to me like something that's that's good the whistleblower blew the truth the people found out what they the people had paid for you know and the government has no no no the people should not know what they paid for what the internet when it first came it was a breath of fresh air it was so free nobody owned the internet space countries
2:08 pm
didn't own it they didn't control it was worldwide it was people the people it was like we were little people the world all of a sudden had this incredible resource and if we didn't have to go through other people selling it to us and delivering it to us that has changed a wide i think that a lot of social interaction will be curbed i want to take that back i theory i fear it will be that the gate keepers those who can turn on and off switches allow certain things disallow other things allow who gets to send me data about a new movie rather than everyone have an equal say so of reaching me yeah i fear that very strongly that specially net neutrality issues like that internet freedom is being interfered with in major ways and it shouldn't i think the internet should have been considered from day one a country of its own that isn't found by any individual countries last. maybe we could have an internet government but it didn't happen just like world government doesn't happen you know space doesn't belong to anyone the moon doesn't belong to anyone these are really beautiful principles and wife and then as soon as

2:10 pm
multiple places they can track them wherever they go and in fact there are reports that they've been talking to companies like facebook and so on so not only can they track even the real world but they can track your face wherever you post online and that can capture you know thousands of innocent americans millions of innocent americans the notion that all of this is happening is totally unaccountable by a private corporation that's building these big databases of where anyone is at any time and being able to zoom in on them it's really quite frightening there's no evidence that this is helping keep us more secure the government has repeatedly failed to show examples of where collecting all of this vast for with data has actually prevented terrorist attacks instead what we do have are clear examples where it's been abused used against the constitution the fourth amendment protections we have in the united states and used to go after political enemies as opposed to actual terrorists. it is the largest province in pakistan and plays host to the crossroads of some serious international economic interests throwing energy resources intelligence agencies and homegrown terrorism in the region soon finds
2:11 pm
itself a focus of growing global importance and concern r.t. is going to teach you can explains a bit more. baluchistan. you may have never heard of it or maybe caught a glimpse of it in a hollywood blockbuster but the place is a hot this nation for intelligence services from around the globe hotbed of insurgency home to various terrorist organizations kidnappings assassinations terror that's part of everyday life in baluchistan looking at its location as part of pakistan bordering afghanistan and the ran you may think well no surprise there injuries place but apart from being a dangerous place the lucious done is a big geo political importance where major world powers have interest and china one of them is sitting at the crossroads of oil and gas pipelines coming from central asia iran's and elsewhere the iran pakistan pipeline that took minutes then of
2:12 pm
ghana's then pakistan india pipeline not to mention that baluchistan itself has its energy resources besides its water port and its right here is the access point of chinese chinese commercial shipping to the indian ocean and on to africa. but all the violence and instability there doesn't make it an easy place for business investigative journalist eric draitser tells me some world powers might be interested in keeping it that way first of all we have various indigenous terrorist organizations that operate inside of below tristan the liberation army. republican army lashkar e tayyiba just to name a few june the law is an organization that for decades has been focused on the stabilization of iran now the confluence of these various terrorist organizations of course is not coincidental this has

2:14 pm
who could benefit from instability in baluchistan most experts say it's extremists of all kinds mainly al-qaeda and its affiliates and as well as the taliban they certainly have an interest in maintaining instability but some also see baluchistan is a key square on the geopolitical chessboard the united states knows they cannot compete with china economically or industrially so they have to stun china's development through these various subversive tactics they're willing to engage with various terrorist networks that they've had for many many years if not decades in order to try to make the chinese stall in their economic development so according to you hype wars are real and creating instability is one of the instruments to gain advantage but wouldn't it backfire and that terror violence instability could it backfire in terms of terrorist reciprocation against the united states this is entirely possible but that didn't prevent the united states in the late one nine
