a smear campaign is one of the options chris woods is co-founder of the london based bureau of investigative journalism the organization to great efforts to report on the deaths of many civilians in cia drone strikes overseas the cia. elements of the u.s. intelligence community chose to attack or work. rather investigate some of the points that we were raising for the particular of the deaths of civilians in several articles including this one in the new york times an anonymous u.s. government official tacitly accused the journalists of being sympathetic to al qaida let's be under no illusions there are a number of elements who would like nothing more than to malign these efforts and help al qaeda succeed to suggest that in any way only or more a news organization a pure investigative journalism or in any way sympathetic towards al qaida or its goals it's disgraceful i do think those kind of smears indicate the stakes involved

u.s. drone strike in yemen which killed fourteen women and twenty one children back in two thousand and nine he's now in jail in yemen upon the request of barack obama himself convicted of having ties with terrorists and what's what's most outrageous for me as a as an american journalist is the role of the u.s. ali abdullah saleh the president of yemen gets a phone call not from john brennan or whatever obama's advisers but from president obama himself and president obama said we're very concerned about the release of this guy we don't know the full extent of what happened in that phone call with the white house and state department in fact i interviewed the state department admitted that obama in fact said the u.s. wants him to stay in jail here in the u.s. or in the u.k. for that matter journalists are protected by law and it's not easy to put them in jail but there is one way to get back at them try and discredit their work by suggesting they're helping terrorists or the taliban or whatever else one might argue that the label carries out is becoming an all too convenient for the

government to brush off investigative journalism which exposes their flaws and kind of check our reporting from washington. and straight to the gold man of daniel bushels got to hold the latest news for us dan over to you is already at record highs the gold price could more than double from here according to metals guru to mccutcheon. you have massive amounts of printing right now that's been sort of very carefully and very well concealed to plug up deficits what people are sinking about any talk with the four thousand five hundred dollars no argument is when the velocity of money does kick up basically what happens everyone scared take the money of the banks take the money out of different things that investment and keep the money cache no where it is narratives that he's a basically be the churn over money goes down now once people sort of see there's lots and lots of printing money for the system to get money to move around in the build new businesses and everything else once they start to kick in and the velocity of money kicks up but they printed so much money in the past three years
