that pretty sure that the test i wouldn't pass so you can see right here not only do i frequently travel outside the u.s. but i'm facing hundreds of dollars in fines and speed trap tickets in d.c. and i think we all know that i could just be slightly critical of the u.s. government look this program is basically forcing workers to implicate themselves based on their personal beliefs and driving habits but the real issue here is that this is just another tactic being used to squash any kind of dissent among workers or by discouraging people to speak up or ever blow the whistle on government wrongdoing but hey that's exactly what the government wants in fact i wouldn't be surprised to learn the civil pilot program was an experimental one they be used to recognize and categorize every american in a different threat levels doesn't quite feel like we're that far off from that being a reality and that means there's a lot of work to be done guys so join me and let's break this that. letter where you ever seen anything like.

the revolutionary albert einstein once said we cannot solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used to create them i mean that we have to keep reinventing the wheel if we want to better society and that's the driving force behind an organization called the venus project it's a movement offering an architectural plan for human beings technology and nature to coexist create a sustainable future the man behind the project is jacques fresco is a self educated industrial designer engineer and futurist who truly believes the ills of society can be cured only if we throw away the rules that govern it and ourselves first go poses a question for us all of humanity create the paradise we know is possible or will drive itself into oblivion the choice is ours i spoke to him earlier and i first asked him what drives this system of greed and war and why haven't political and

social institutions evolved along with technology. or fear of scarcity so i'm a people who want to grab as much territory as they can as much arable land as they can and as much water's like. so to meet or beat will have to do with their behavior a more scarcity the more behavior what does the venus project propose to redesign society in a way that is possible today. oh it's too used to bringing all nations together as one nation and their greed to take care of the earth and everything on here. and nature to restore nature as near a natural condition as possible and it goes no dumping of toxic

materials into rivers or the oceans can you break down some of the specifics about the transportation and energy capabilities instead society i would say he and he hate these would be based on geothermal energy the natural he of the earth when you rely on solar if there is clouds in the way you don't get as much i like to generate but geothermal energy is a natural fumaroles launder the ocean and on the land and we can tap those made steam and this team can turn a turbine and and generate power continuously with around worrying about whether the sun or not and what about transportation. transportation would be wind marel and other ones about thirty feet off the ground so it doesn't have to stop at every corner i thought that something was really interesting in one of your

presentations talking about cities they described with those would look like. because he is certain he looked like a series of really and been meeting from the senate who don't to send a little don't know well how to socially integrated computer which has just tend to those would into the agricultural bell and deep into the solo so if the want to table drop and you can pump water down where is man and has to take too much time to do to decipher the conditions jock if all of these amazing technologies exist today what is prohibiting them from for shame right now the established institutions once you were invested ten million in oil homes you on do you like your car you don't want anything to live here with your income so when we

come self-centered that way is there anywhere in the world that's practice in a society such as the one that you're proposing right now i would say been ninety percent of the societies. i scarcely know i can say has any decent society that will maybe maybe iceland. might be ok you've said that all world systems that's far communism socialism fascism and free market enterprise have all failed to eliminate racism it only does them and scarcity can you explain how your vision would eliminate those things. try first of all. and money. on in all the areas you can pay off judges senators politicians who've used the money we

must own need for money and go on to a resource based economy where we make things available of people just like the public library if you have to be moving understanding mad you can check on any book in the library with down payments of any kind who are going into debt very kind that is into the whole of society to society gender its debt and obligations which people cannot fulfill rocked you've said that greed and endless war are based on average behavior based on social conditioning alone or would you say that the need for competition for reward is also based on our societal conditions yes and that it's not innate with any human nature no there is no such thing as human nature and human nature where human behavior is shaped by

coach and big supporters and pays you the nazis were just as patriotic as the americans propaganda makes the most fun i hate americans and we hate the germans before the war and the japanese use the same take me a propaganda to get them to want to do way would be americans. it's all environmentally you turn every word you use you learn you're going to say come up table right in mamma every word you use and all of facial expressions come from movies perhaps if you read role models that you look up to and still there seems to be nothing and if humans can say that those didn't reflect their culture when you wrote it in the south and you hear all day long the same thing get me and i'm going to hide you won't read and it isn't one that's

learned in the snow so the news of the son of an educated regions of the swamp where do you think printers tubbs from it is a new born children will play was anybody and for all americans chinese japanese filipinos until mother says you were moved through your own way with that kind of lady she means well but he doesn't understand what he's doing. i commend you for actually presenting solutions to the revolted of problems that we face in the world the scarcity. all the problems that we're facing it seems really overwhelming and i think it's amazing that you've actually produced something that could be a solution however how can we ensure that putting four trust and one concentrated planning system of society will work and not become corrupted because i'm just

worried that we're not there yet and that i feel like that's how socialism is failed in the past. if you do away with scarcity number one new do with money and make things available like the public's mind grid makes go to the public library we have a camera samantha where anyone can go in and check out a camera next to it is a camera send that there's music on an instrument you can take on a violin and so i took phone just like the public library no payment to learn behind and we have all those buildings around the central building and that makes it impossible for people to take bribes or to break in a house and steal anything if you made goods and services available to people they do not steal there's no need for it we need to reinvent our value system in order to share the resources of this planet how much would you say that language and mental trappings of these social orders that have failed in the past trap as

prevent us from being able to progress with revolutionary ideas. the our language was designed hundreds of years ago and i cannot communicate with people we know that because we have democrats republicans socialists lutherans catholics and language is a terrible thing it's never been invented so that people can draw other same conclusions you see language is subject to interpretation when you read the bible someone who says this is what jesus meant and i'm another person oh no he meant something else and the third person says your bones this is what he meant that's why you have the lutheran the seventy ad it is the catholics only because the bible is subject to interpretation and on languages terrible because it's subject to interpretation but there is a language that is not subject to interpretation and that is the language used by

engineers when they talk to each other they don't say believe me this is of some of his roots aerial could give you the specifications of what's in nonmetal how much torsion lonely can take how much tension how much compression so engineers want to talk to each other they don't say i think he means in of or i think he means that when you talk to normal people they interpret it in relation a damn background as a major problem. math and science and these things are not really open for interpretation it's a mind blowing to see the technologies that do exist that are available to us right now jock frausto thank you so much for coming on to explain a little bit more about the vs project everyone check it out. we're taking a quick break but still ahead we'll talk about the tragic nuclear legacy of japan statement.

and. the. economic ups and downs in the final months day but the deal sank i and the rest because it's a single day every week on. the main competitor girl on the market is mother nature. may customers struggle with to. fight for each drop from an interview supply. let people think i are prices pure or want to. live on our street. and they use it up there and wash their hands. and flush their toilets

with the same warner. that sunni's is selling and spring water. this is the media leave us so we leave them to be. the same motion security place your party years ago. where shoes that no one is that stand with the guests that you deserve answers from it's all politics only all parties. well if you're in the middle of the holidays i think you really.

like to have you with us here on our t.v. today i roll researcher. late. late late. two years ago a massive earthquake and subsequent tsunami crippled a nuclear power plant in fukushima japan resulted in the meltdown of three nuclear reactors since it's been out of sight out of mind however despite official reports suggesting that radiation was contained it's just been confirmed that contaminated water has been pouring into the ocean at a rate of three hundred tons per day for the last two years but as tragic as the

situation may be japan is no stranger to nuclear disaster this latest update on fukushima's crisis also happens to coincide with the anniversary of one of the deadliest and most horrific events in the world history the dropping of two nuclear weapons on the cities of hiroshima and nagasaki between the two attacks hundreds of thousands of people died some instantly and many others from the nuclear fallout the preceded them here in america many of us grow up learning that dropping nuclear weapons was necessary and done in self-defense. once we've been told that had the u.s. not destroyed hiroshima and nagasaki more people would have ended up dying for the sake of providing an accurate account of reality it's important remove the lens of propaganda nationalism that tends to shape the storable narrative because these narratives often lack context and this story in particular for goes the fact that a war between empires in the pacific and already been ongoing for half

a century see the us already conquered the philippines and built a strong military presence in the pacific as a stepping stone for a greater foothold in eastern asia one that the us was eager to expand which it did later on when it entered south korea singapore south vietnam indonesia and taiwan japan a rival power was also keen on controlling the region having already occupied several countries including parts of mainland china and while most would say that it was japan who struck first with the attack on pearl harbor a little was said about how the us huge harsh economic sanctions in an effort to bait japan into war even allege now that us cryptographers had broken japan's naval code which gave them foresight on the attack. yet despite all of this three thousand americans tragically died and the u.s. had its justification for war what then preceded it was multiple fire bombings and several japanese cities eventually japan made overtures of surrender and top u.s.

military brass even acknowledged that the war could have entered ended diplomatically but it didn't because for the first and the last time in the history of the world nuclear weapons were used against the civilian population on august sixth one nine hundred forty five a nuclear bomb was dropped in the city of herat. an enormous fireball the heat of the sun vaporized everything and everyone within a mile radius and only hours after the first bomb dropped president truman address the nation. a short time ago an american airplane. hiroshima destroyed its usefulness to the enemy that has more power than. the japanese began their work in the air and broke over. many.

yet it is going to make. it is going to see the basic power of the universe chilling words from an era that was not too long ago and he was right about it not being the end because you see three days later the us dropped a second nuclear bomb and nagasaki resulting in tens of thousands of innocent people being instantly of favorites and countless thousands more injured and despite the unspeakable horrors that run least at the time it would be future generations that would be damned to suffer the most from the horrific effects of nuclear radiation. guys this threat still exists today multiple countries have stockpiles of nuclear weapons that could destroy our precious planet several times over. moreover countries continue to pursue nuclear energy adventure that could be equally as dangerous and it seems that humanity is too quick to forget the lessons from chernobyl eight mile island because she a man of world war two as

a species we continue to risk future generations of every living thing on the planet for greed and empire so as we reflect on the strategy of vent keep in mind in the matter what our history books say one thing is clear this didn't have to happen and frankly humanity can't afford to let it happen again. so by now i'm sure you've all heard about the ominous u.s. terror alert which is called for not only a reduction in international travel but also for the closure of nineteen u.s. embassies throughout the middle east but what started as a vague caution to americans worldwide has now morphed into a specific warning against one country that apparently poses the largest threat of all. the state department is telling all americans to leave it yemen immediately

u.s. officials insist the danger has not passed and intelligence analysts increasingly now believe the most likely target of an al qaeda strike is inside yemen today the state department ordered the evacuation of most of the u.s. embassy personnel and yemen and urged all u.s. citizens to get out of that dangerous country that's right all americans should leave that they can there is country very afraid part of this yemenis be afraid of us for all the u.s. has sponsored a drone bombing campaign in the country for over a decade now in light of the latest terror alert those drone strikes have only searched so for the past ten days the obama administration has authorized a series of bombings in yemen which they say is an effort to combat al qaeda. plot but who is really threatening whom and why is the u.s. targeting yemen to talk about all the more i'm doing my router all was your i'm an american and. founder of support collective what's going on thank you so much for

coming on thanks for having me so talk the damage that's been done just in the last couple weeks so we begin to begin to see a lots of u.s. drone strikes happening within the last two weeks five june strikes killing many civilians including children younger than the age of ten. the same day that the yemeni president came to talk with the u.s. president. we had seen another drone strike hit yemen lots of just struction lots of heartbreak lots of psychological trauma so that this is exactly what's happening in yemen today do you think that drone bombing in a country is an act of war yes of course i think drones are our new way of waging war without calling it war or not seeing troops on the ground where it's easy for us to get away with it we're not losing we're not bringing back body bags so it's easy for the u.s. to wage war in numerous countries without meeting with a little accountability with little transparency and get away with what they were

their agenda is why do you think that this point what you just said is completely not acknowledged by the corporate media or by the establishment all we're talking about this alleged the right coming from yemen i mean i think the dominant narrative right now is this huge threat that we're seeing on the american people oh there's this danger but there are always supposedly has been an imminent threat that's why we had this program to start with there's this imminent threat that's why we couldn't capture them and that's why we killed them by drone strikes but suddenly now we're seeing. a huge amount from the white house and reinforced by the media that there's again another threat but didn't we always have this threat and i think you know i think the threat is there but the threat. bigger to be yemeni people and to the yemeni government the yemeni people do not want to. but what their focus is right now is not about. it's not about you know these embassy closures that's not what they're focusing on right now they're focusing on how

they're going to be able to eat tomorrow what are they going to i think i have a job tomorrow these are the things that are on people's minds this is the real thing that the real reality and yemen right now and of course like you just said i mean what came first the chicken or the who's threatening who here i mean how did the u.s. bombing yemen and then there in turn there's a threat like what do you expect when you have a bombing campaign going on for a decade plus so what is this all about i mean do you think that this is just a distraction from something else because as you said i mean the threat is there. what is going on here i mean i think a part of it really is i mean if you just look at the timing. the timing is weird the history of the united states it's very important to keep in mind with what's going on today and so i think part of it is psychological warfare really to kind of justify the drone program to justify the n.s.a. program to kind of say ok this is exactly. the threat that we heard against the united states we heard through the through the program of the n.s.a.

and this is why we need it this is why we need to join program because where. we're being targeted there could be a possible threat to the united states we need to be killing them so i think it's just another way to brainwash people's minds i mean this is the only thing they know we need to keep our border safe we need to think those are the brown muslim people we're scared of them and they're going to wage war on us. of course if it's if you i mean you're not we're not listening to we're not hearing about the stories of the hundreds and thousands of innocent people that are dying by the terrorist. drone strikes that's the real terror we should be talking about terror alert of. terrorism a bigger level it is very convenient isn't it the timing of this i mean just as we're having this nationwide debate about a blanket dragnet surveillance all the sudden there's this worldwide terror alert really bizarre reminds me of right after nine eleven just being constantly fearmonger with really no justification or premise to where those threats coming

from the u.s. claims that it's in yemen to fight al qaeda yet the yemeni government pretty much seems like they're dealing with it on its own they just claim that they thwarted this attack who even knows if that's true or not but i mean so why does the u.s. is not allowing the yemeni government to deal with its own problems i think a part of it is it's lack of trust in the yemeni government there's been lots of different stories of how it trusted. yemeni intelligence of when when it had its drone when in the earlier days of the drone program and it ended up striking a political. a political person that was running against the government and strike that person instead so i think there's a lack of trust between the u.s. government and the yemeni government and also another point is now our president president had seen is appointed by the u.s. and by the saudi government and he has little to say stand against the u.s. government he has to do everything that he says the u.s.

government says so i think you know we're playing with fire right now they're pulling him on one and also kind of putting him to putting him to the side on the others and of course it's just because you know sort of for not releasing the prisoners of which most are from yemen saying that they you know why is that that we can carry a drone strike in the country we can't trust the government to really take these prisoners you mention that the president just visited obama here what was said you know that if you voice your concerns about drones at all or if you like you said you just kind of been told along to do whatever the u.s. wants him to do according to the press release it was mentioned that they discussed about guantanamo about the possible transfer of the fifty six cleared for release since two thousand and seven nothing exactly about the drone program was mentioned in this press release however a partnership of continued counterterrorism efforts was established and was discussed and was embraced by president had to do so i think this means that we're going to continue to see more joan strikes up until hopefully more popular

resistance by the american people as well as the yemeni people and what can we do to stop these drone wars rouge because we have about thirty seconds left but i think a lot of people feel really helpless when they look at what's going on i think it's really important to consider who really is at the table and who is waging these wars to start. shaming the people that are profiting out of these drone wars is the number one thing i think educated educating. who's waging these wars and profiting from these wars thank you so much of yours are always here organizer for support thank you that's it for our show tonight you guys have a great night and please join me again to break this up all over again tomorrow. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought

you knew you don't know i'm trying hard welcomes a big picture. it was terrible. the city was on fire nobody knew what was happening. five days without a break we were terrified of. there was no communication only tanks all around us we came out to find georgian democracy in our streets. that any one of us could have left straight away but we knew that our first duty was to defend our homeland now that we've had peace since two thousand and one of the places reviving and coming back to normal suffered since april twentieth twelve i've been the president of the republic of south ossetia i'm very pleased to see that all people
