or the reverse of the bullet. here is mitt romney trying to figure out the name of that thing that we americans call a dollar. i'm sorry i'm just a guy who cares an awful lot about my country you sir are a fool you know what kind of mind their terror cells in your neighborhood all want to keep us safe to defeat terrorism on the on the liberal and the christian public gyms i can see you're really going to the.

what's up guys i'm not a martin so mitt romney gave his big bold foreign policy speech yesterday it was a chance to show his credibility to the world as a potential commander in chief of this country and what better way to do that than a speech at the virginia military institute strategically standing in front of all of us on wavering lines i mean look some presidential right but we should really be paying attention to is the rhetoric that goes a little something like this you scare americans and you drag them into war take a listen. this is a dangerous situation that has set back the hope of peace in the middle east and emboldened our mutual adversaries especially iran. iran today has never been closer to a nuclear weapons capability i'll put the leaders of iran on notion notice that the united states and our friends and allies will prevent them from acquiring nuclear

weapons capability for the sake of peace we must make clear to iran through actions not just words that their nuclear pursuit will not be tolerated. yet folks that's what we call good old fashioned warmongering but unfortunately doesn't stop there take a look at what romney said recently. i would also have. so you could actually do it out of the genocide convention or a citation of genocide like this should open doors that would be a course i would take folks this is absurd and it's not just romney i mean washington d.c. is own holocaust museum has given occidental shot a special plaque right next to the nazi exhibit calling it charge him for incitement to genocide but i digress back to the man of the hour the man who thinks leadership must come with him realist agenda you see romney's rhetoric is dangerous because the ideas for which he's building his policies on are completely unsubstantiated in fact his proposed notion of taking action against iran is so twisted that he's actually managed to make opera did god look like the sane one

congratulations mitt not many can do that so mr romney i direct this to you the next time you want to warmonger over the biggest threat facing our country i suggest you take a look in the mirror. i would like to turn your attention to the forgotten war and this time know i'm not talking about afghanistan rather i'm talking about health care because you see health care has been so tragically caught in the democratic republican crossfire and you and me are the victims but according to matthew hindman this kind of polarized rhetoric in decision making is not ok he recently wrote an op ed where he said this he said health care has become a political football that's been tossed back and forth by both sides in washington and it's divided our country but are we even having the right debate that's the exact question to answer in his documentary called escape fires the fight to rescue

american healthcare the title alone lays out a profound reality and perhaps what is our single biggest problem the health care system you and i are supposed to count on to rescue us needs rescuing itself take a look at some of the films highlights. we don't have a health care system in this country we have a disease management system spending almost twice as much an american seen as a country on earth but our lifespan isn't even in the top twenty thirty thousand medicare recipients die each year from care they did that's the equivalent of a jumbo jet crashing every single week the aviation industry killed as many people would be up in arms the truth is our system is broken and we talk about the affordable care act where you talk about giving people more access the question kind of imposes is what are we giving people access to does even matter when we'd only be providing more access to an already broken system because as long as we

have a system that focuses more on maintaining an illness than preventing it as long as we have a system that burdens americans more than it helps them access means nothing more than an under fruitful promise that's deserving reality matthew hindman seeks to expose and that's why he is our hero of the day so he's the hero who's the villain well today that title goes to michigan congressman mike rogers why you might as well remember the cyber intelligence sharing protection act is a bill that passed the house but later was struck down in the senate after privacy and internet civil liberties activists argued that the bill had to fume limits on how the government can monitor an individual's internet use opponents added that the powers could be used to spy on the general public rather than expose hackers while opening the floodgates for the telecom industry to massively profit off of our personal data now congressman rogers recently spoke about this making a second coming in by referencing a new an undisclosed cyber threat facing america take

a look at what he said about this back in april some zeros and some ones that we know is malicious code that is either going to steal your information or break your computer or something worse. that's all this bill is zeros and ones and tubes and boxes one that our lawmakers have such a solid grasp on how the internet actually works so give us the power to trade all of your personal information and conduct under massive surveillance on you but just trust that we would never actually do it now before cispa died in congress earlier this year congressman ron paul said the bill represents an alarming form of corporatism a further intertwines governments with companies like google and facebook it permits them to hand over your private communications to government officials without a warrant circumventing the well known a stablished federal laws like the wiretap act and the electronic communications privacy act now representative rogers openly supports businesses accessing

everything about you all of which is done under the auspices of protecting us from that proverbial cyber bogeyman well i'm not buying it so we're trying to bring back legislation that's a co-leader example of overreaching state surveillance for the telecom industry to profit michigan congressman mike rogers you are today's villain. tens of thousands of protesters rallied in athens today against a visit by german chancellor angela merkel the protesters who represent the opposition against the measures blame merkel for posing more draconian budget cuts in exchange for aid but if the media give us the full story and could we see this type of economic meltdown happening in the u.s. tell me break it down and more i'm joined by a beautiful lauren lyster from a couple of come right here in our to no one i want to. come on your show any time . i think i mean clued in i don't really understand the complexities of what's

happening in greece and the media is kind of painting is all about austerity what is really having more of a deeper light on the complexities that are happening there absolutely so greece is in a depression it's got economy has been contracting for five years it has a complex set of problems that some stemmed from the eurozone and from imbalances in being in a currency peg with vastly different economies but what typically it's characterized as is the problem of us with austerity and we only really hear about it from the mainstream media when there are cocktails thrown or nazis signs neo nazis signs or signs telling angela merkel she is a colonizer and to go back home so i think that there is a kind of a massive blanketing of greece along with many of the eurozone economies that kind of get summed up into a couple of buzz words that aren't reflective of the true depths of the situation were to go back i mean to so much more than just the recent measures and also i mean greeks don't want to be beholden to germany so it is

a really tense situation when you have germany bailing out part of what and this gets to kind of the key issues so austerity is used as a blanket term that you know austerity is bad to anybody in the u.s. has a political agenda can use this and goes on talk shows and says you know the problem in europe is austerity so then it kind of freaks anybody out when there are any real discussions about budget cuts or tax reform in economies that. meet them one being the u.s. i would argue but then anytime their proposed whether they're good or bad they kind of get a headline of austerity that freaks people out but the situation in greece greece got shut out of the private markets and could no longer borrow in the market so that forced greece into this situation where it's getting bailed out by other countries and being subject to their programs which mandate cuts they mandate reforms and they mandate that the money that they're spending is going to servicing this enormous huge debt that can never be paid so of course with with cuts and with the money they're spending going to servicing this huge debt obviously that's where

government spending is going it's not going to be helping the economy so that's a very specific type of austerity and it's not the same thing as saying ok these are the priorities in our country in terms of what we think was going on in. the media likes to truncate issues to a very childlike you know understanding of course it's more complex than it's painted but let's talk about the occupy movement here do you think that that was kind of the beginning i mean they did address a lot of the same issues that are happening obviously more exacerbated in these european countries but i mean do you think or could there be something like this happen here do we have the same measures in place the inevitably will happen here. i think that the issue of deficit spending in the enormous debt in the u.s. is for sure an issue i think that it's something that needs to be addressed i think so many of these issues with the dead in the debt overhang and what that creates in the economy kind of creates these situations then we do see people protesting in the streets along with kleptocracy and the kind of programs that bail out banks

mind you so there is that issue but i do think that there's this kind of political rhetoric that i hear where you hear politicians like newt gingrich or pundits saying the u.s. is great and i do think that's kind of a disingenuous talking point because the u.s. isn't greece the u.s. is not stuck in a currency zone where it has zero control of its monetary policy i mean love it or hate it the u.s. does have a fed printing money and setting interest rates also the u.s. . the global reserve currency and the u.s. is benefiting from kind of a weird global situation where the u.s. dollar and u.s. debt is kind of a safe haven even though many people would argue that ultimately it isn't but these are kind of a weird set of circumstances that make the u.s. very unlike greece in terms of the near term and that can tend to i think low people to sleep but it but it is a longer term issue in terms of the debt and deficit that doesn't need to be addressed i think that just the u.s. is greece scare tactic is a little just a lot doesn't right right right well let's talk about the eurozone in general i mean a lot of people also paint this whole thing as if the eurozone crisis and it kind

of crosses all across the countries that are indebted to the euro at this point i mean what do you think about that is that the or what would happen if they pulled out of the euro i mean to explain a little bit more about yeah there would be immense pain of countries pulled out or of countries defaulted but what you see is this kind of interesting dynamic of the more that politicians push towards integration which is what the krauts and the merkel's and the the eurozone architects want the more you see them pushing for integration the more you see this disintegration because things are really tough things are really difficult the things that they're pushing for are not easy by any means nor are they arguably feasible when you have all these different countries with different electorates in their own respective homes so what you see is a move towards disintegration where you see independence movements places like catalonia and spain you just had the city of venice movement there they wanted to see him from italy so you see these major pushes that actually are very material they're real they have a lot of support within their respective regions and you see kind of such

a complex situation it really i mean they've muddled through for years and years it's very unclear how long they'll be able to keep muddling through but there really isn't any kind of tangible situation that looks tenable thank you so much for coming in and breaking it down. ergo if you'd like to see so far go to our you tube channel you tube dot com. check it. facebook page at facebook dot com suspect in a set it's like if you want to write what i'm doing when i'm not on air follow me on twitter at the martin stay tune to hear the good the bad next.

list. lately there's been a lot of controversy surrounding the already controversial national defense authorization act of two thousand and twelve or the n.b.a. a law that obama signed into law last new year's eve. in the part of the n.d.a. that has people worried is specifically section ten twenty one b. the provision giving the military the right to indefinitely detain american citizens group activists and lawyers including pulitzer prize winning journalist chris hedges attempted to rid the law of this indefinite detention quads by finding a lawsuit against obama in the justice department earlier this year u.s. judge katherine forest ruled in favor of the plaintiffs stating that section ten twenty one b. is unconstitutional and violates citizen's rights protected by the first and fifth amendments and she placed a temporary injunction on the provision and in september judge forrest decided to

make the injunction permanent but in a surprise move only hours later obama's lawyers pleaded for an emergency stay on the ruling saying that it could cause irreparable harm to u.s. national security now alone federal peals judge heard that plea in temporarily blocked judge forests injunction and earlier this month a three judge panel extended the temporary stay put in indefinite detention under the n.b.a. back on the books and that's where we are now so help me talk more about the case of the n.b.a. and what it could mean for you and me i'm joined by activists and plaintiffs of the n.d.a. case alexa bryan alexa thanks so much for coming on thank you so you're a plaintiff in the case you just recently wrote an open appeal it was a letter that went viral it was a letter to my family and friends about the n.d.a. and me i wanted to read an excerpt to start this off alexa you say i'm reassured to know that you have my back and that you've done everything to prevent the u.s. government from threatening to detain me indefinitely without charge for my work as

a journalist and citizen i'm not one for cultivating an exaggerated sense of self importance i think it takes more character and courage to live in reality anyone who knows me personally knows that it's going to happen to me it can and will happen to you or someone you know now alexa to talk about what happened i mean what are you speaking about here the things that you've written i mean in the letter you talk about how they said. but they would not guarantee that you couldn't be indefinitely detained based on things that you've written. that's right the government refused the judge asked the government to and she was she held up a selection of articles i had written on the war on terror and she asked the government directly whether or not i was under threat of the detention. for the articles i had written and the government refused to give any kind of guarantee. so that was

a very. interesting moment that's the right word but in court in the in the original and hearing the very stark reality you know when you know you're yourself and run through that quote first they came for the socialists and then there was no one left to speak for me when no one spoke out why do you think the media and just everyone isn't talking more about this completely agree just a violation of civil liberties i mean i think in a certain sense i mean this is my opinion i think in my own country i mean in the united states i think of a lot of americans are sort of disembodied they have a really you know part in the sort of the phrase that a very dysfunctional relationship with government you know it's something that's sort of out there and ideology of the left and right the culture war is such a predominant part of our political discussion that oftentimes that we forget that that how we relate to politics isn't merely

a battle of ideas it's also how we relate authentically relate to one another and so when citizens take independent initiative like we did for example with us day of rage we didn't know it was going to take off and it did. you know we organized six protests on september seventeenth two thousand and eleven i mean these are all we were just sort of doing the next right thing and suddenly you know the u.s. government. and contractors are trying to tie us to either cyber terrorists or al qaeda. and it wasn't in the beginning ok the d.h.s.s. memo one can one shouldn't but one can sort of go into denial about that but when it was repeated you know with private contractors publishing articles in security magazines saying that us day of rage was infiltrated with you know jihad this and then you know the wiki leaks release if you look at the of the stratford e-mails if you look at the timeline. it started from what's in the public record with one

private contractor talking to fred burton who is a former state department. a law enforcement official in counterintelligence about whether he's been specifically asked to tie us day of rage to al qaeda and then you know being approached at work in a business meeting and being told that that people in the federal government are asking about me so the fabric of that was strewn out and developed over a period of time and it was a very creepy and and also there's sort of an aspect of shame to it it's like you know when i talk to some of my friends and anybody who knows me knows i have nothing to do with al qaeda there's a certain apps urge this to it but then there's also kind of like will. you know the government wouldn't actually do that but the government actually would do that and the entire economic system that we've built around nine eleven and the war on

terror and private security contractors and you know i need i remind americans that most intelligence the united states is conducted seventy percent of it is conducted by private security contractors and like you said i mean people say you know there's so many so much mental gymnastics going on of justifying obama you know he doesn't really want to indefinitely detain and he really wants to veto this he doesn't actually use it i mean he does obviously this emergency. on the injunction but mental gymnastics of justifying this i wanted to talk to you about what chris hedges recently said is you know obama's immediate reaction to this really does show that potentially the end is being used already i mean the legal frameworks in place you just said the they are they will use it i mean that's undeniable when you think about the fact if they already are using it well i think that there are they are in contempt of the judge's original ruling you know they scoffed at me and the other two plaintiffs who testified in court the first hearing they said you know well do you know anybody who's been detained under the n.d.a.

and of course we answered like this is not something that is public knowledge of but you know. monica in the second hearing when the judge specifically asked them if anybody was because they kept saying it's just like the you a map and the judge asked them is anybody detained into the n.d.a. and they couldn't answer the question themselves so it's just really the softer street of the executive branch which has had a very long period. that is unfortunately we're out of that's ok alexa o'brien journalist and case plaintive and one of the organizers of us day of rage thank you so much for coming on and for your courage thank you. well you guys at the time of the your you know the time when the nobel committee picks a recipient for the much coveted nobel peace prize this year will be jointly shared between sir john b.

gurdon and yamanaka for their work that revolution revolutionized stem cell research and who could forget the winner of this honorable title three years ago today a mr barack hussein obama now the committee's cited reason for giving it to obama was for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples the committee has a touch special importance to obama's vision and work for the world without nuclear weapons thanks to obama's initiative the usa is playing a more constructive role in meeting the great climatic changes challenges the world confronting democracy and human rights are to be strengthened they go on to say that only very rarely has a person to the same extent as obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future his diplomacy is founded the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of the values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world's population. so right here the committee admitted that based on obama's captivating billion dollar ad campaign rhetoric of hope and change of

the own warranted a freaking nobel peace prize remember this war was just given months after obama took office before any real policies that would warrant the prize actually went to effect and here's a stark reality obama has not strengthen democracy and human rights around the world instead he's a road them even further obama seized upon and expanded the unconstitutional bush administration's platform of warrantless wiretapping spying and suppression of the first fourth and fifth amendments not to mention the absolutely absurd irony of a man being awarded the nobel peace prize who is now a deadly drone king overseen an assassination list a man who escalated the afghanistan quagmire by sending tens of thousands of more troops to fight and kill a man who's responsible for two hundred ninety four drone strikes in sovereign nations in only three years as compared to bush's fifty two in only four years now

you might say in light of these disturbing trends and murderous actions that obama should give up his peace prize but hold up let's take a look at who alford no bill really was as well as some other controversial pastor the ends of this coveted prize. alfred nobel was a swedish chemist engineer and armaments manufacturer who is also responsible for changing war forever because you see he invented dynamite yep at the time alfred nobel invented the world's most powerful explosive but it seems that alfred was one step above orwell in the concept of doublethink because soon after he invented dynamite he's quoted as saying my dynamite will sooner lead to peace than a thousand world conventions as soon as men will find that one instant whole armies can utterly just be destroyed they will surely abide by peace so it seems that the war for peace logic extended all the way back to the actual foundation of the prize committee itself its founder actually thought that his contribution to accelerating

the act of death would lead to world peace needless to say since if out of the committee there's been a couple of very interesting people selected to represent world peace so let's go over just a few of them. henry kissinger you know the man responsible for escalating america's war in vietnam overseen tens of thousands of deaths of illegal bombings of laos and cambodia this guy's nicknames like the butcher of cambodia and remember the mass murdering dictator grew so pinochet of chile was put in power by the us government yeah you can think henry kissinger for that one so who else how about former us president woodrow wilson the man whose campaign slogan was he kept us out of war ironically enough he was actually the man who got the us into world war one resulting in the deaths of almost one hundred seventeen thousand u.s. servicemen oh remember the espionage act just the same act that nobel laureate

barack obama's been trying to use to detain torture execute whistleblowers with well we're girl wilson put that gem back in place in one nine hundred seventeen so who's last on the list former us secretary of state oh you root this guy drafted to us policy in the philippines after the spanish-american war which laid the groundwork of an imperialist america this led to the us occupation of the philippines which resulted in as many as one point five million filipinos killed between the years eight hundred ninety nine and one thousand two so folks what can we take away from this little history lesson well the nobel peace prize committee is a mass murder club its founder was responsible for a weapon of death and many of its recipients have the blood of millions of innocent human beings on their hands maybe the secret to way nobel peace prize is to set the stage for large scale massacres so i guess it shouldn't be a surprise that

a drone king with a kill list has this coveted title under his belt after all we are living in an orwellian reality where war is peace ignorance is strength and freedom is slavery.

he he he he. he he. seems. to. see. the. looks like the marines just left here she looks beautiful. if we had kids or ass up out here about iraq to somebody gassed up probably the face oh so much little way here it's just.
