rest of their lives just how absurd has the debt crisis become the federal reserve bank of new york americans now one point two trillion dollars in student loans and if you exclude the top fifteen richest countries that's more money than the g.d.p. of every nation in the world the last few years in particular have seen an unprecedented catastrophe spiral further out of control in two thousand and three student debt was a somewhat manageable two hundred fifty billion dollars but today it has grown into a trillion dollar be a myth destroying lives and wrecking futures by the day and not only does it serve as an albatross around your neck until the day you die but private loan companies can actually pass on the debt to your living relatives once you're six feet under now thankfully to day obama signed an executive order capping student loan payments at ten percent of an individual's income for anyone that took out a loan before october of two thousand and seven meaning some degree of debt relief

for about five million people but while this is a temporary short term solution this action does little rein in a higher education system that arrives on agreement in profit at the expense of students started in the late eighty's middle class families started seeing college not as an institution to expand the mind and prepare young adults for their futures but rather is the only way to increase individual purchasing power and as a result colleges began seeing themselves as more of a luxury rather than a public service on like most european countries throughout the eighty's and ninety's college enrollment expanded like never before from eight point five million in one nine hundred seventy to twenty one million one thousand nine hundred one and at the same time that universities were taking advantage of the new demand the state and local governments took to slashing public funding for higher education institutions like never before and perhaps there is no. better example

than ohio state university as author bill zimmerman notes in his book the student loan swindle in one thousand ninety ohio ohio excuse me state received only twenty five percent of its budget from the legislature and says attaining another two wish an increase ten years later in two thousand state allocation for the school had been reduced to only fifteen percent of overall costs in two thousand and twelve ohio state received a mere seven percent of its funds in the state of ohio and the slashing public funding is hardly unique to ohio from california to arizona state governments have decided that investing in education just isn't worth it in fact from two thousand and eleven to two thousand and twelve state funds for all public universities and colleges fell by seven point six percent think about that public funding for one of the most essential services in society fell eight percent in just one year of course to keep up with our public counterparts private universities had to raise

their tuitions as well as they lose their status as a lead institutions for the best and brightest. and as it stands today the system will only continue to induce misery on the millions of young idealistic americans who see college as their only path to the middle class but in an era where economic inequality has reached on the rusted levels higher education is just the system's latest victim. after nine eleven the u.s. government pushed to expand the national security state in every way possible this included not only the creation of the transportation security administration or t.s.a. but also the distribution of the hundreds of body scanners in airports nationwide one activist and blogger james corbett has been on a mission to expose what he calls the inefficient. to tional nature of these

machines videos of corporate smuggling metal contraband through the t.s.a. scanners have gone viral but he's also put his words to action and has taken the fight to the courts and last week oral arguments were heard in the case of corbett v the t.s.a. and florida and earlier i spoke to corbett and i first asked them to break down what the prosecutors arguments are against that claim. so congress gave the t.s.a. and the f.a.a. a special rules for when someone challenges any of their policies and those rules directs challenges to two different torture the court of appeals and they set a sixty day timeframe from from the date of the policy so essentially the t.s.a. gets to make a policy and then sixty days later if no one's challenge that yet it's permanent law that's that's what the government is arguing in front of this court my argument is is naturally that we have these constitutional rights that can't be time limited that if i go to a checkpoint tomorrow and i'm violated by the t.s.a. tomorrow it doesn't matter when the policy was made it matters that the t.s.a.

just did it in the needs to be redressed and so if they do decide to hear case what walk us through what might happen next in the courts and i'm sure so then the next step if the court decides that they have jurisdiction would be some kind of fact gathering so right now the t.s.a. is submitted a stack of papers about a foot high four thousand pages of their record of what they thought of when they were making the decision making process and now it's time for for the opposing side to gather some records so i wanted to post some witnesses i want to say officers taking the stand i want travelers to come up and tell them tell the court and tell the t.s.a. how how they were violated and how they feel abused as a result of this i want to figure out if these scanners actually work and you know we we know that the secret is they don't but i want evidence of that and i want to put all this before the court and say look your honor what we have here is a search that doesn't work it's invasive it's expensive it's entirely on reason.

let's put it back to the way it was and let's talk about exactly that a few years ago you had this viral video where you proved essentially how a person can get anything practically through these scanners john talk about what you found that proves that the scanners actually don't work. sure and in two thousand and twelve i went through the scanners on video taking various things with me undetected on my person the short answer is that these things are imaging devices and just like any imaging devices like your eyes they're blind spots that exist in these bodies going to have huge blind spots that allow you to take well an a k forty seven on the side of your body if you really want metal detectors don't have that metal detectors are really good at detecting metal whether you put it. on your side or in your mouth or anywhere else you might want to put it it will detect it but these body scanners don't do it and john last year surprisingly the t.s.a. polled one hundred seventy one body scanners from airports and then they've been

relocated to presents i mean what is it about these body scanners that is causing such an addiction like the government just needs to use them somewhere it's not an airport that they put in prisons. i mean they've spent about a billion dollars on these things and the t.s.a. to move them not fall entirely but because congress told them no more of these inspections by agents of your new bodies the old scanners would actually take a picture of your nude body underneath your clothes and submit it to a t.s.a. screener for review when the kind of scanners are gone now the scanners that we have left in a more automated fashion but still take this picture as to why the they can't just toss these machines into len filler museum it's got to be embarrassing to have wasted that much money and talk about this too john because i think people who travel often do see that the scanners are different when i ask people you know what the difference of this one is no no this one you know doesn't take the photo it's not it doesn't have radiation i mean what should we be worried about even with the scanners that exist right now at airports even. they aren't those radioactive naked

body scanner ones the scanners right now at the airports are the same scanners that were there years ago the only difference is the image that's created is evaluated by a machine rather than by a human so when you step into that box you still being subjected to electromagnetic radiation in the form of millimeter waves that radiation is creating an image of your body which is put in the computer and who knows where else and right now it's evaluated allegedly by the computer no one actually looks at according to the t.s.a. but that image is still created nothing has changed in the last two three four years and likewise that security exploit that i found still exists because the technology hasn't actually changed just having a machine read it versus a human where can people go to help you fight this and finally and the use of these useless and intrusive machines. sure you know the blog that i have is to say out of our pants dot wordpress dot com and that's that's

a resource if you'd like to find more about my case to fight it you know it's sounds tired and old right now but still contacting your people in congress it's an election year for everyone in the house and for some in the senate so we can actually still demand change on this we saw some change with the congress insisting that the t.s.a. remove the scanners that were human reviewed and we can keep going on this it's really the public pressure. that makes this happen rather than just someone standing up in court and you know my argument is is that these are these are unreadable that's what the fourth amendment guarantees us that we have reasonable searches and it's up to the public to make clear that these searches are not reasonable jonathan corbett plaintiffs corbet the t.s.a. thanks so much for being on the ground in fighting this john thanks abbie. up next i'll be talking about the humanitarian crisis of unaccompanied minors crossing into the u.s. stick around. country

history of yugoslavia this formation as a prosperous and peaceful country was considerate so be a success story of market socialism and in kuwait this teacher of democracy and market economy if any republic in yugoslavia wanted for the us a it would have to break away from yugoslavia and declared its independence ok it's not a conspiracy theory it's not my speculation it's not my analysis it's a public place to. move and punish it harshly for every slight to let some unlearnt the serbs started this war

the serbs are legal riginal cause of the war they are the complete aggressors and wrongdoers ods a bomb because. that. bombs more. will bomb all of tofu kitchens six of them knew its own so bad move to assist in the multi-ethnic society to live in harmony and joe not. what was forgotten to be told feel about yugoslavia the weight of chains on our. interview to. cut loose took over the problem.

one of. these. people. pleasure to have you with us here today.

in the famous line in jaws where. the fishermen on the boat one of them says we're going to need a bigger boat i mean this is what the european central bank has told the market that the fraud is so enormous at this point that in order to accommodate another ten to fifteen trillion dollars worth of credit default swaps and derivatives suddenly fraud they're going to expand their balance sheet by ten to fifteen trillion euros they need a bigger boat. stories others refuse to notice. faces change. to picture today. from around the globe.

the obama administration has called the surge of unaccompanied minors crossing the us mexico border alarming if you're going as far as saying that the situation is a quote urgent humanitarian issue and rightfully so see according to u.s. customs and border patrol nearly forty seven thousand children have been arrested or crossing into the u.s. from mexico this year alone that's right forty seven thousand minors the age of eighteen and that's a ninety two percent increase from last year and now a new controversy has arisen over the attention of these children once they're apprehended at least one thousand children were sent to an extremely ill equipped warehouse in arizona and the media access to the facility has been limited think progress reports that quote the children including pregnant teenagers and a one year old with diarrhea are sleeping in plastic containers and haven't

showered in ten days according to honduras council of the u.s. who visited the site what's worse is that obama's domestic policy director says syria munoz has made it clear that these children don't qualify for any protective legal status so while the government may work to remedy the deplorable conditions at these little warehouses little to nothing is being done to ensure the safety of these kids it's heartbreaking is that these children are viewed as random migrants when really they should be considered refugees see nearly three quarters of them originate from guatemala el salvador and honduras an area known as the northern triangle which is among the most and dangerous and violent places in the world of course much of the violence plaguing these countries on the battlefields where america wages its failed war on drugs by the u.s. government's own estimates approximately ninety five percent of all cocaine leaving south america for the u.s. travels through the northern triangle and onward there mexico and out of the under

the leadership of the. mexican drug cartels vast swathes of land and water all salvador and honduras are dominated by deadly guerrilla forces and perhaps most tragically is that these central american governments are largely responsible for the expansion of narco trafficking economies as these groups have been able to infiltrate government it's to sions most significantly police carry out executions in exchange for financial benefit all the while the us government just keeps throwing more money at the regimes with no accountability over where the funds and up in fact an a.p. investigation from last year found that despite a temporary suspension of u.s. foreign aid to honduras nearly thirty million dollars in u.s. taxpayer money was aiding the forces of director general juan carlos bania a man linked to at least three extra judicial killings in eleven other murders that continue to financial support for these types of governments is creating an economic and social crisis for central american children the vast majority of which

are trying to escape from a situation where brutality and violence is an ever present force in their lives from the day that they were born further evidence of this is found in a recent report by the united nations high commissioner for refugees which shows that fifty eight percent of the four hundred migrant youthful lane to the u.s. that the agency interviewed had suffered been threatened or feared serious harm according to one hundred young executive director of kids in need of defense this is becoming less like an immigration issue and more like a refugee issue because this really is a forced migration these are not kids choosing voluntarily to leave. this is perhaps the most important thing to note the fact that almost all the children are from a region known as the murder capital of the world when they manage to reach the u.s. the conditions they find here could very well be called a ball to what they left behind held against their will in a makeshift warehouse in arizona so while this country continues to throw millions

of dollars to fund drug war. in the name of humanitarian ism it's a long past due to fix a humanitarian crisis right on our doorstep. yesterday tragedy struck pakistan when ten militants the skies a security forces seize crotches main airport result in an extensive gunfight that left twenty seven people dead according to pakistani officials the militants aim was to damage the airport hijack planes and take hostages though they were largely unsuccessful and government forces regain control of the airport within five hours now the taliban in pakistan has claimed responsibility for the attacks and according to c.n.n. taliban commander abdul of the heart of the assault was in retaliation for a former taliban chief killed in the u.s. drone strike last november and north waziristan her went on to say that this is the

first of many attacks to come a sentiment that reinforces how upcoming peace talks between the two sides have already been severely crippled so dreamy how to break down pakistan's uncertain future and what role the u.s. has an all in the taliban in both pakistan and afghanistan a former cia analyst ray mcgovern amazing to have you on high so you know we hear the rhetoric all the time that the taliban is near defeat in afghanistan i wonder if you can quickly i'm history and problems of the taliban and pakistan well the chickens are coming home to roost it twelve years ago or secretary of state the nature journal colin powell was given the task to call musharraf and say are you with us or against this if you're with us in the war on terror a new term we got billions for you we know your your account number in geneva and it will give billions to your army as well and all you need to do is make sure you're with us you do everything you can to prevent the insurgents so that the

militants from coming course the border tough. anderson welcome your break. number one be able to number two that's not in pakistan's interest their whole business in afghanistan has to do with denying india the upper hand there they're never going to do that but you know he promised and he got the billions and what happened we're used to the armaments on its own people and you know you don't you don't defeat terrorism in that way that encouraged i had a theologian from the sun nothing do with theology so you know defeating terrorism raise really like defeating malaria. so you have malaria you find the mosquitoes right you trace them back to where they breed and and then you find that swamp and then of course you station sharpshooters around the swamp and he'd try to shoot all of all of skiers or they leave yeah exactly and i said well not really is the right what do you do i say you train the swamp now the swamp the swamp represents the

grievances the legitimate grievances of people who become terrorists because they have no weather outlet for their for their so what we're doing here is sort of making the swamp more acrid making the swamp bigger and the terrorists are breeding and more which is exactly what this guy said i mean not to give any credence whatsoever to these these people who killed mass amounts of people they're horrible but he said it was in retaliation for u.s. drone strike last november i mean should this be warring to us that blowback is actually being carried out right now before our eyes are a well you know there are so many people that know this and so many prominent people even part of the establishment that have said this is counterproductive so bono who does this benefit but he can talk about the arms merchants you know we could talk about people who you know want a four star one of the army generals and i tend to think but who coolly malo you know who would say well you have the volunteer army so the so called the. he or me

and you have these the seventy five thousand u.s. troops waiting on a waiting line to see the v.a. if just three months i mean it's unconscionable these people don't care about our troops and they just exploited so who's profiting with a lot of money to be made in the arms a lot of money being made by the folks like musharraf and his successors but it's not benefiting the war on terror and it's certainly not benefiting the poor folks that we send over there to fight certainly not a woman in quote terrorism not read the fact and things that are doing the opposite speaking of the taliban i have to get your opinion on this bowe bergdahl saga i mean and here you have the media character assassination after character assassination deservers a traitor even chris wallace on fox news said that he should be executed or was at least voicing that as a possibility i mean how is is the p.o.w. rescue this politicized why people don't know anything about war and don't and

don't have any pain peng's of point conscience of sending our young folks over there patriotically motivated and seeing what we're doing now bergdahl is a classic case of far as i can tell went over to help the afghans things that right this is a crock i'm not helping the afghans and so this is the result of that and to criticize him instead of people that sent him over the to do this feckless job this fool's errand you know it misses the point now i know that some of the commentators have never served i have it's a little different when you have personal experience with innocent suffering ok if you have a conscience that bothers you. well we know yeah because that is that the military mind conscience doesn't fit into it or a when you're when you're out there i guess the higher analyzing how you go up it seems to receive with one exception is general martin dempsey he presented the word syria and i give him credit for that he's

a responsible. a patriotic commander in chief and he wouldn't stand for what john kerry and the neo cons had drummed up early september of last year thank goodness for that and what's so interesting also about this whole get mo transfer thing is that you keep hearing from the same media pundits that the worst of the worst get ready why is it that the worse the worse the get most couldn't even have been dragged up charges over the last twelve years that kind of been that bad if they couldn't even muster up the charges to get these guys on trial i guess it's a scandal it's a scandal i mean the most of these people shopkeepers people sold to them you know back in afghanistan and pakistan and worst of the worst that was donald rumsfeld he is the worst of the word believe it should be put away forever it really does remind me of wag the dog almost because i'm watching this giant spectacle everyone voices and of course missing the bigger point which is why the hell reopen the

first place really these these larger question the seventy innocent men it get now what does the media overlooking the most with this whole story. with this. with this particular story well you know the whole business of what put people like bergdahl in this position it seems to be relevant you know the fact. that our president came in and bowed to the military who told them you need to search because surge is good search for insurgents in iraq really work great work you know work they try to build a thousand u.s. servicemen without any without a ruler so that's going to work too and to his discredit obama sort of bowed and said all right well this is necessary for my political image i'll do it another thousand perished ok so it's crass politics willing to sacrifice our people like bergdahl to the to the whims of the political convention of political advantage and

i've never seen a quite quite cusco bit well i'm so happy that we have honest. people who were inside the system still control the top the power ray thank you so much ray mcgovern former cia analyst for coming on while you book thanks that's our show you guys are making tomorrow break the sod all over again and i'm so sorry. played the lead suggests places tried to play players play polo going to be. more. like the art of the changing every minute of the lead somehow played all the law no

ukraine's army targets the rest of the east with artillery fire leaving one village practically razed to the ground. a training camp of self-defense say they are preparing to take on the government forces. of militants and seize control of a northern iraqi province releasing thousands of prisoners and causing a mass exodus of local residents and growing forces. it's almost obscene i mean i was really offended when i saw it and so anger and frustration from locals at the so-called enterprise was designed to be to rough sleepers from the streets of london.
