boston marathon finish line by terror attack in broad daylight that no camera or law enforcement official was able to prevent i believe this was a massive failure of the sick the surveillance state that we've created in america since nine eleven we have spent over seven hundred billion dollars on national security and a lot of that is surveillance with the help of surveillance video the f.b.i. was eventually able to identify the boston bombing suspects however the best images did not come from a public camera the video was reportedly filmed by a private camera belonging to the department store lord and taylor every publicly installed camera for every camera that the n.y.p.d. puts out or bloomberg kelley puts out or or some security agency puts out there's anywhere from thirty to fifty privately installed as they're being installed

the past four months the central african nation has a long history of a prize and the current president idriss deby himself came to power after in one thousand nine hundred. at least twenty two people were killed in iraq on wednesday in a series of bomb attacks across the country that was after a last week's bloody clashes which claimed over two hundred thirty lives and fueled fears step the nation could slip further into sectarian tayo the latest on rats comes a decade after washington's out claim a victory in its operation iraqi freedom norman solomon director of the for public accuracy thinks instability in iraq is only likely to deepen. there's a very corrupt interest truck sure and a lot of political repression torture and chilling both in public and behind prison walls which was also the case under saddam hussein but i think by most measures the
1:21 am
magnitude has been the u.s. in a worse in the last ten years and going forward the prospects look very grim i think that the united states government should be apologizing to the american people for the lies and especially to the iraqi people because of so much evil and injury that continues to take place because of and in the aftermath of the invasion occupation under the bush cheney administration it was all effort to justify a pump up the war is something glorious a lot of the problem that we have is that the reality of the war is followed up by president bush and then president obama to the extent that there's not honesty about the why is that more the basis of the war and the suffering that is the result of the war. construction is in full swing in the russian far east to finish the country's new spaceport the first imam to launch from the new facility is
1:22 am
expected in two thousand and fifteen with many more flights to follow arches like reports. this site is now being described as the main construction side of russia's far east in just two years time this will become the top priority facility in russia the brand new cosmodrome. this will make russia independent mostly independent from the baikonur cosmodrome which is now using and paying an annual rent of six hundred million u.s. dollars of this will also make life easy in terms of political decisions on several occasions asked on the block a launch of russia's satellites and manned space ships of course when russia will have its own space port here far east this problem will no longer exist there will of course be some disadvantages for instance the transportation of the russian carriers to the cosmodrome here in the far east right now it takes several days to
1:23 am
deliver them to the baikonur cosmodrome which is two thousand five hundred kilometers away from moscow this side here is five thousand five hundred kilometers from moscow so it will take longer and a little more closely but the advantages which exist in this project of having its russian having its own cosmodrome are much much more significant in the first place the parts of the carriers the parts of rockets which are falling off from the rocket when it enters the atmosphere will no longer full on to the land and of course will no longer create risks of these parts holding on to populated areas in the case of the drum these parts will fall into the ocean but the biggest and the most significant benefit which russia will have from having its own cosmodrome is its lunar program more than half a century since soviet union lost the space race to the united states russia will be relaunching its lunar exploration program by the year twenty thirty as it's
1:24 am
expected a space ship a manned space ship will take off from here to the moon which will then circle the earth satellites orbit. just the beginning that's why it will play way to a whole new moon exploration program with plans to build an observatory and the research lab on the lunar surface already voiced by russian scientists should that be successful a whole string of facilities including helium mining shafts may follow there's even a possibility that now lifeless planet could be made inhabitable by humans and enjoying a quiet evening watching lunar landscapes from the balcony of a moon hotel will no longer be science fiction but an absolutely real option. now the case for investing in gold is stronger than ever despite the recent price line according to our financial guru max kaiser and his latest show coming up at seven thirty am g.m.t. he explains why. that's an phenomenon usually when the price of gold goes down people have been sellers because they believe hollywood they believe washington
1:25 am
they believe obama they believe donkey but now people know that obama bernanke in ways of dollars and one america is full of book who they don't believe them anymore so when the price goes down the demand surges demand surges on price breaks that's something new in the past fifty years we have not seen this in fifty years when the price goes down demand increases because of the watchers of this show around the world in hotel rooms in airports and homes throughout the entire globe and they're in the hallway they're saying because you're told to buy gold and the demand was still being for the gold they love it they know the dollar was done. and coming out party looks at the drug wars and daily shootings in the rest of the mexican city of tijuana.

famous american political figure ron paul has decided to create his own liberty oriented home schooling curriculum at ron paul curriculum back to give parents not turn of the standard public education you know when i was a kid homeschooling was only for like the kids of wacko's and cultists if you met someone who was homeschooled you always look at them with some sort of suspicion like what's with that kid with what's with his parents i mean who would home school their kids well let's look at it this way who would grow their own food when american supermarkets are stocked with pure healthy and natural food the problem is that food in stores is now loaded up with all sorts of mystery chemicals and g m o's and it makes perfect sense that nowadays people are intro starting to grow their own food and this logic applies to education too when public education become . so dismal and it's perfectly logical and reasonable to try to educate your kids
1:27 am
yourself the no child left behind program did a fine job of making the american education system lower the bar down to the very basement of the lowest common denominator i mean if you think there should be more in a high school graduates had besides reading writing and arithmetic that homeschooling might be for you as art sports and music and science programs all across the nation that total lack of funding is ron paul's libertarian curriculum what's best for your kids i can't say but it's definitely worth taking a look at other alternatives given the d. minus quality of public education holidays but that's just my opinion.
