plans to create a model for cyber warfare have been put on hold by new defense secretary chuck hagel but should have been put on hold i mean hackers a drone operators do play a real important role in modern militaries and there are already u.s. military medals for things that don't involve people shooting at you the antarctic a service medals given by the department of defense for sort of between fifteen and thirty consecutive days in antarctica although the cold down there is potentially deadly no penguins are going to storm the base with kalashnikovs the homeland security distinguished service medal has also never been issued to anywhere on the battlefield because thankfully for america there haven't been any invading armies in the homeland so is there precedent for a medal like cyber warfare medals i mean yes just a wrist. but when you think about it giving someone a medal for using a mouse to blow up blips on a monitor really seems to devalue the medals of the guys who are brave enough to storm the beaches of d.-day or slog through disease and snake filled swamps and vietnam so maybe for the sake of the prestige of the of their medals let's just let
8:33 am
the cyber security one go but that's just my opinion. more news today. again flared up. these are the images. from the streets of canada. showing corporations rule the day. at least nineteen people were killed and more than one hundred were injured on

friday when the latest wave of sectarian bloodshed struck iraq see a worshipers were targeted by the suicide car bombings of mosques in baghdad and koku the attacks come amid a deepening political strife in the country even within battles prime minister struggling to the police his opponents several politicians have also been targeted by al qaeda linked terrorist cells security fears have force of the government to postpone local elections in two provinces. five agent any machine says iraq is i'm able to shake off the disastrous legacy of the american occupation. we've now seen a massive destabilization of the old structures and no real meaningful new structures put in place so it's not just the politicians who are under threat but for segments of other areas of society to things like proper hospitals schools even just water and sewage pipes and things like that have been decimated and not rebuilt appropriately it's great that people are stepping forward and they want to

represent their constituencies but if you can't guarantee that democracy will be democratically elected you can't guarantee that people are not afraid to go and vote you can't guarantee there won't be oppression and violence around that process and you can't guarantee as well that the people who are then elected have real powers to represent their constituents then it's not a real democracy it's just yet another oligarchy it's another dictatorship imposed on the hapless people. having gained notorious for causing collateral damage overseas washington's unmanned drone seat is now eyeing up the home front u.s. experts predict tens of thousands of unmanned could be patrolling american skies by the end of the decade but they aerial intrusions meeting some yes resistance on the ground as gannett she can reports create one point this documentary on u.s. public television touts the technological capabilities of drones and their new super sensors this image was taken seventeen thousand five hundred feet above

quantico virginia and covers fifteen square miles if we wanted to know what is going on in any spot along the seam i'd say near this building at this intersection we can generate a moving image that shows what's going on in the area the state of virginia was the first to stand up against this kind of surveillance in early february the state legislature passed a two year moratorium on the use of drones but the bill is yet to be signed by the state's governor who is known to be very supportive of the spy aircraft. in charlottesville virginia police have never used drones but the city council has nonetheless restricted their use just in case these this technology is already being heavily marketed to local law enforcement agencies and other groups and there's even one county in virginia that already purchased two drones for surveillance and so we know it's coming and we just we want to get out ahead of it at least twenty seven states are now considering legislation to outline how drones
8:37 am
can be used by law enforcement or to ground them all together but there are those who believe the lawmakers are first and not the rise of the spy planes so they're taking the matter into their own hands a company in oregon says it is developed and will soon start selling to acknowledge that could shoot people from surveillance drones over the phone the developer did not offer any details but said this or not this is enabling their chair. as or anything like that we are not doing anything physically to the drones we are simply not allowing their cameras to look at areas. also in the battle for privacy a designer in new york came up with a name to surveillance clothing line was a garment that's designed to be thermally reflective which means that he bounces off and he does what suits for thermal imaging and particular this technology is used a lot on drones and you refuse but it's doubtful that this designers gear however
8:38 am
creative could compete with the cutting edge spite acknowledging now being developed for government use a million terabytes of video a day which is the equivalent of five thousand hours of high definition footage so you can go back and say i would like to see what happened in this particular location three days two hours four minutes ago and it would actually show you exactly what happened if you were watching it there's actually enough resolution to be able to see the people waving their arms or walking around with because they where as a number of states try to restrict the use of drones at a federal level there is a great push to expand their use the federal aviation administration projects that in seven years there will be thirty thousand new avi's flying over the u.s. there is absolutely no way of knowing if we are being filmed at the moment so we might as well wave to big brother up there in washington i'm going to check out.

8:40 am
and the this thing the doctors and putting forth the charges and crimes against the doctors and giving them all this being all this time they should be brought to justice before we think of anything else it's just the doctor's case has this nature of a very high profile case and there is a severe international pressure to resolve this case in particular. but seeing that the they will leave the monarchy treating the. protesters the crackdown is still going on with the same intensity it has not changed in two years it has not gone lists coming up of fighting talk on foreign policy with a campaigner who really knows how to get tough. when their own country can't offer them a living even loving mothers sometimes have to leave their children behind. i don't
8:41 am
like to wonder just a bit longer. if the dream of millions of migrants that their children might choose their own mother land. i was. stunned. is. i want my children to win over moscow. russia has become this step motherland teammate's migrants working hard to find a way home. hold it. hold it. till i. tell. the speech. her.
8:42 am
which. will be the missile good. will. come out of it in the pm or and come out. the end.
8:43 am
of america international and world in the very heart of moscow. thank you so much jeffrey joining us here on r.t. you're welcome thank you for having me we now speak almost exactly on the tenth anniversary of us invasion to iraq i know you were arrested for vandalism not to use for a painted the attic a symbol on one of the governmental buildings protesting against the war and economic inequality as you then said so do you think these two u.s. is main problems at this point we can't maintain ourselves you know the united states has military bases in one hundred twenty five hundred thirty countries right now worldwide. and it's really you know it's not about you know government and it's not about military it's about keeping the spread of capitalism is about keeping the
8:44 am
spread of of american democracy would smeaton's our corporations go and exploit you know as many people as we can they keep talking about you know so many people are getting out of poverty but in fact the statistics show that the gap between the richest and the poorest has never been worse than it is now even in the feudal age so what we're doing right now besides in-store environment is not good for the people even today the country starting wars and it's it's sending drones to one country and in another one we're empire we're we're trying to split to say we're trying to spread you know american capitalism you know american democracy throughout the world to let the free trade of money in you know our businesses and corporations and potato other countries and have new markets opening up all over the world getting back to your question you know i think it's all part of a master plan and i just think it's you know these you know that we speak we you know cat this and some of these other countries that have terrible dictatorship
8:45 am
regimes and that are terrible to their people and jail their people and you know we send them orange we spend more and are we sell more in arms many other countries will buy. i think they said seventy eight percent of the world's military supplies arguments missiles defense systems come from the united states in the world we're selling to because that's money for and who gets some money this is like george calling sad it's a hobby we have very good at that for us it's about the money and people and it's because people it is ignorantly keep us entertained with other things well the real world what's really going on in the world. is happening all around us and we're just blind to america supporting forces affiliated with al qaeda and other terrorist organizations but at the same time spending millions of dollars fighting against terror and at the end of the day we see nine eleven happening in america so
8:46 am
where is the logic here it really makes perfect logic bush approval rating of the bush jr was the lowest of any president ever at that time he knows a hovering around you know the low twenty's you know high night eighteen nineteen percent approval rating the current me was bad everything that was the best thing they could have ever happened to him and you know kid not only carried him through that. four years but got him another four years based on you know we're going to get them the same thing the nazis did you know you know they asked them during the nerve trials you know how did you make these people commit these atrocities gas six million people in and murdered these people and they said we made them the enemy made them that they were out to get our homeland they're out to get us and the united states really is doing that right now you see that intolerance now for anyone of you know muslim. background or anyone that even looks like they're from
8:47 am
the middle east i don't think you believe that person that it will anybody be held responsible for all those mistakes all those policies no because who who is responsible you know it's i remember. a famous. saying back and then you know these peoples given their businesses for clothes and taken away and everything they were for their entire lives in their farms for clothes and they're asking will who do we fight who we blame because the people we're locking the doors on him in the police who are coming in they want to fight the police and the police and it's not us we're just doing our job and the people who we fight who who are we going to protests who we're going to go march down and stomp on the door they go it's just the way it is you know we always blame the government and of course they are to blame but you know they're working in it's not a conspiracy they're working for the corporations or working for the banks and i believe obama. yeah one saw scale what what what obama second and last term will
8:48 am
bring to expect major trends no i think he showed his true colors the first term you know i was actually given a speech to some socialists on the eve of his election. and people were literally crying. that oh my gosh we have a black man in america someone who's going to bring social change someone who's talking about change someone is not going to be caught in the system and be another colleague that just does the will of the you know the corporations and the banks is this person to stand expectations were very high man i decided said no he's part of the system he might have a good heart and i who am i to judge you know i'm only judging on his actions and what he's done and he's made you know he's going to close guantanamo bay so he was going to you know and the war in iraq and afghanistan and i've see iraq we saw our defense contractors there and we have we basically have the well secure so maybe the major conflicts are over but more so when our afghanistan we've got
8:49 am
drones in afghanistan and pakistan and now they're talking about drones going over the united states you know to surveil his own people so it's really a police it's really george orwell's one thousand nine hundred four stop in front of the saddle and surreal it is gary it's really surreal is the perfect word of surreal it's it's unimaginable but as you like you said we talked about as you scare people into they're out to get us this is for your own protection you know they make us. you know scared of one another scared of what our neighbors do and scared of you know the people who moved in down the street and what they're up to disappointedly is what occupy movement managed all rather failed to achieve for the first time it showed that people can come together people of all walks of life you know there there were doctors in there there were unemployed people there are teachers or students there's. you know work all come. blue collar white collar workers in there saying yeah we are you know the ninety nine percent and we are you
8:50 am
know we're being exploited but jeff it may have the opposite effect i mean it took years for people to feel this unity to get together and now they have nothing they achieved almost nothing and even maybe more frustrated and more disappointed no i think you're planted a seed of solidarity within within and i think now that that's sprouted maybe right now it needs to be watered and it needs to be fed but it put it through there and before i don't think it was there well it's resurface it has to resurface and unfortunately the. the climate that's going to make it resurface is the middle class being squeezed out even more in the united states or another you know bank failure or something like this people are being squeezed and squeezed and squeezed and when they can't be squeezed anymore they're going to fight back and i think it's going to spread look at look at what happened in egypt in you know libya and
8:51 am
so never in my lifetime did i expect that could happen under those dictatorships have put it spread like wildfire and think americans plain as possible if i do think so i do think so not not in my lifetime but i said that about those other countries to civil suit so i want to ask you what's needed to bring about social change but what i understood is that more pressure is needed and more crises right is that correct we have to be educate ourselves into something take its place that's going to work for the people otherwise you're just going to have a power vacuum. and a case start to spoil does that mean to you to be an anarchist in fact tacl terms i mean being an anarchist actually gives you hope because we hope that there's something better and it gives me something to work for i you know someone asked me yesterday in the interview they go what is your worst case scenario in your life what would you fear the most and i think it would be dine with. well think again i have made a cause i've contributed enough to something that i know is true we know that
8:52 am
killing someone else is wrong you know we know that helping someone that is in need is good we know these are like absolutes how are these things possible without government like helping each other like supporting homeless unemployed. education that you mentioned also how is it possible without a system we asked for so this that's the how can we make this road there's no government to tell us to make the road how can we make a school and educate ourselves the government's not telling us to do this but we've been trained to look for help it's like a five year old at a store looking up. in my can i have this candy can i have this can i you know wash my hands can i go to the bathroom now we don't need the government the government doesn't do the work the corporations they have the elites don't do the work the banks don't do the work we're the ones actually getting our hands dirty and doing the work so why can't we make the decisions to do these ourselves jeff do you see
8:53 am
yourself involved in politics or does that contradict your anecdotes i want to be of all be paul does but not under not i i can't i don't believe in being elected so there's going to be involved and you know other than that this is the problem with inner america's movement we don't believe in being elected or or holding office but there is a leader there's a difference in being a leader. and leading and helping and having power i don't just because i'm leaning or showing away or contributing doesn't mean i have any more power than someone else it's just the fact that what i do i'm a fighter and right now fighting is very big and popular so people will listen to what i say more than if i was even a doctor making probably more. contribution to society as helping people than i am now you know just been entertainer some of the things are just absolute truths i believe we're people and we should work together you know back in the. in the days ten thousand years ago when we were living in caves and on the plains of africa we
8:54 am
had to work together in order to get you know if you went off on your own and said i'm going to gather i'm going to do this i'm going to be on my own and i'm taking as much as i can and you're going to die you know we're going to be eaten by something or are you going to starve to death or something we needed each other when you started to realize all those things. you know if you remember these i remember the exact moment i had a fight in rio de janeiro right so right outside rio de janeiro and then we drove there that night and so i went walking on the beach you know after the fido you cite madam in beautiful rio in shorts and as welcome back to our i think like a four star hotel and there was a woman with her two children on a box cardboard box going back to the hotel they had been there when i left and she sent to talk to the kids the kids came up out and for a rio you know which at that time was like i think it was through a price thirty cents american and you know i think it was maybe
8:55 am
a sudden i saw them making these kids are going to school tomorrow you know they're whatever seven in ten or something like this and it's like how what evl i done in my life that i deserve to be in this photo. and there's a woman as with these two kids with these kids ever done to deserve this you know i mean in that light. i knew there had to be something wrong with the with the way this is a was what was your answer to yourself i need to do something different i need make a chair i need it i need you know that bob marley song say something say something say something and i was like you know i. i have to you know i like as i have to do something and there's not this this is not about me just months and this is the month and as a one of billions that live in this system is that's years i so you know yeah it's it's. you know like i said that moment that was the epiphany moment for me and
