i'm abby martin and this is breaking the set so recently i broke down some of the craziest cia operations you've probably never heard of and as it turns out now there is one more to add apparently during the cia's search for bin laden the agency hatched a plan to get to distribute a dollar resembling the taliban leader in pakistan here's the catch when the dollar is exposed to heat its face melts into a terrifying demon in order to scare children from the real life then laughton yes this is actually real now how the toys never made it past the prototype stage this bizarre scheme exposes that even dolls are being used the empire's propaganda war let's see the government was indoctrinating children with notions of good and bad long before the bin laden demon doll consider that the same hasbro executive who worked with the cia to create the bin laden action figure was instrumental in the

development of g.i. joe as well that's right a character circulated to teach america's youth there's nothing more heroic and a u.s. soldier so if you're sick of the cia using taxpayer money to toying with global psychology than join me and let's break the cycle. it was a. very hard to take on. that fact that you are right there.

in today's political landscape there is no issue that can escape the massive influence of money and the more power that's given to corporations the more disenfranchised the average americans become this twisted dichotomy is the motivation and the california march for democracy it's a former eighty mile thirty seven day walk from l.a. to sacramento as capitol building earlier i was joined by the organizer of the march newkirk and founder of ninety nine rights i first asked them what prompted this mass action. well i realize like many that the fact is that we don't live in a democracy in america anymore billionaires and corporations are buying our elections and running our government for them and not for the people and if we don't change that we're not going to have a future we won't be able to deal with the urgent problems that we face from preventing catastrophic climate change to reducing historic economic inequality and

we realize that we need to build a mass now by a movement to do that and we need to show people to take action that models the seriousness of this crisis and shows the courage and commitment it's going to take to end it so we decided thirty three days ago we set out from los angeles angeles and we're walking almost five hundred miles. to our state capitol in sacramento to mobilize the public to take a stand and this corruption of money in politics and save our democracy it's a thirty seven day march as you said you guys have made several strategic excuse me stops along the way holding workshops hosting speakers i mean talk about what some of this is and tailed on the way. it's been a tremendous feat you know we're a grassroots organization and taking this all we knew was going to be a challenge but we feel like you know if we don't build this movement we're not going to win the change that we need a constitutional amendment a federal legislation that's going to clarify that money is not speech that corporations are not people and that congress has the right to regulate campaign spending to ensure political equality and we're trying to follow in the footsteps

of movements like the united farm workers and super child is more luther king in the civil rights movement that did these long marches to mobilize the public and inspire people to take action and it's been a lot of hard work but through the sacrifice of this march all the blisters the pain the heat we've been sustained by the encouraging of support and support from everyone in the communities we've passed through and you guys are taking a march in sacramento as you mentioned what exactly are you going to urge the state legislature to do once you arrive. exactly we're bringing a simple demand to the leaders of our state we want them to tell the truth to the people of our state that the system is corrupt and to take immediate action to end it beginning with passing three bills that are pending in our state legislature that will begin to solve this problem in our state and around the country and if they haven't met the simple demand when we arrive we're prepared to nonviolently occupy the capitol and sit in the spirit of the civil rights movement until they do . and you guys are willing to risk arrest to occupy that capital if they don't

listen to you or your website state that american democracy has been replaced with a plutocracy governed by the wealthy even a lead institutions like prince and have declared that the us is now an oligarchy have we gone too far to enact change within the system. you're right that so many people are beginning to see this problem. a recent poll said ninety six percent of americans agree that we need to reduce the corruption of money in politics but ninety one percent in that same poll said they didn't think it could get done and the challenge that we have is to give people hope and that's why we're marching and making the sacrifice of this to show people that somebody some people are stepping up and willing to do whatever it takes and i've been tremendously encouraged all of us have by the response of people to this march to see that example and i've said you know what i'm going to step up i'm going to follow i'm going to be there with you and for all of the folks that agree with us we need them to go to march for democracy dot org to sign up to join us in sacramento and to support us to spread the word that's incredibly inspiring to see all of you out there doing thank you so

much putting your lives on the line speaking truth to power and getting the change that people what is ninety nine rise how can people find out get involved you can go to work to sign up and to be part of this and this march is just the beginning we have to set an example and build towards the mass movement of nonviolent direct action that can make this status quo of corruption untenable and force change and if we do that i'm confident that we have a bright future as a country can i get a quick shot of from all the amazing people behind you. sure but i know you're. all right ok all right american version of america listen up thank you so much ngukurr co-founder of the ninety nine rising organizer with the california march for democracy keep it up you guys thank you. once again this past month saw big diff in the ratings for cable news imus and b.c. had a the lowest performance in prime time from july of two thousand and six and c.n.n. had the least walk show at nine pm the networks entire history so as more and more

people are tuning out the corporate press alternative online sources are filling the void of one such out what is meant press news and independent site that covers topics the mainstream won't touch and focuses on stories that promote social justice and human rights so they discuss the role but turning to voices in today's media landscape and the unique pressures that alternative journalists face is turned of journalists face and growing up in our founder of mint press news amazing to have you on are you so much for having me so what are the biggest pressures i guess establishing this really amazing alternative news site and kind of the flurry of corporate garbage we're actually experiencing a renaissance if you will of independent journalism organizations butting up on to the surface like many press news and like your show and the reason being is because most americans don't even trust the media anymore thirty percent of americans according to a recent gallup poll have actually three percent of americans do trust the media

six percent of americans don't trust the media so this allowed us for an opportunity to say you know there's a void in information in truth reporting so we want to fill that void and the biggest challenge that we have is we're inundated in day in and day out with the same narratives on all the same subjects and the mate in the media is just overlooking all these important subjects and when we try to cover them it's immediately smear campaigns silencing tactics and so we're trying to bring truth back and let's talk about what happened when you when you decided to cover break a story actually of syrian witnesses and good that saudi arabia supplied the rebels with chemical weapons your site came down under a lot of pressure once that story broke talk about what you learned from this experience and also were you surprised at the response of the american media. and what it teach you about well let's get one thing straight first is the media is presenting this conflict with the iraq conflict or the syrian conflict as a sectarian issue and we took it upon ourselves to really dig deeper and find out

what's really going on and figure out who's actually supplying and arming these rebels these terrorist rebels including. and that's actually where we started to cover the story we monitored them. first entering iraq by the curious question of why is it that when the u.s. was pulling out all of a sudden iraq to emerge on to the scene in iraq to create the sectarianism and then we actually were the first in addition to break that there was moving into syria to completely hijacked the syrian revolt so we wanted to bring truth to the subject and since we covered the story it has been character assassinations smear campaign specifically to attack me personally and to attack our newsroom and unfortunately several of our reporters that were on the story have completely disappeared and have have been smeared as well and it's because we challenge the narrative we said

what's really going on and as the media continues to hold this day to say it's a sectarian war we know that this is a war that's being full meant by regional powers competing for influence in the region why do you think reporters even alternative reporters like people working on your side i mean under a little bit of pressure they're terrified to cover something that's not what's parroted on the mainstream and exactly what the government's saying is happening because it's it isn't imitating and all of our careers are at stake here and we've seen many journalists who have been silenced we've been smeared and we watched as their career basically you know dissolved but what really needs to happen is we really need to look within ourselves and ask ourselves as journalists why are we journalists in the first place are we in this for fortune fame if that's the reason then you're probably not in the right career. we need to find that moral courage within ourselves and say that we're going to stick to our story we're going to we're going to report on the truth and this is why i'm actually building a foundation for it's going to be like an amber alert for journalists so that when

a journalist is smeared attacked or even detained there will be some sort of amber alert for journalists to get the message out get everybody together and unite as a community for journalists and bring attention to the attackers to talk more about the project they are launching as it sounds really incredible how did you get the idea and also how how is that going to actually work well like i said how it's going to work as we're going to create an amber alert for journalists and we're still going up with the name but we're in that we're in the beginning stages of building this organization and the whole reason i started this is because when we were smeared and when we were attacked it was an extreme character assassination to the point where i was smeared for the very obvious fact that i'm a muslim woman i mean i'm the first american muslim woman to run a newsroom in the united states let alone wear the hijab so this became a perceived weakness if you would say in fact it's my strength and it's who i am

but this was used against me and so i must have had a muslim agenda you know iranian agenda you know a shia agenda even though you know my family is half sunni have shia so all of these things that have nothing to do with the story were being used against me and that's part of the smear campaigns that happen is they try to distract from the story they try to go for the character assassination just like we saw with edward snowden when he was interviewed with you know interview through all the stories they focus on him and his credibility and what he did so that's where the inspiration came as well when my journalists and myself were smeared and attacked if only this foundation existed we would have been able on the spot to bring you know bring these people to justice and show who the attackers are and why they're attacking it distracting from. the real story right i mean you did an extensive interview with hersh as well you know about about the alternative narrative that we're not hearing about syria you guys are continuing to cover very hard core

issues that the mainstream media won't touch keep it up very powerful women are. really appreciate coming on thank you very much. coming up revolutionary hip hop artists breaking the stage stay tuned. there's no volume in bonds because there is no market in bonds because bonds are trading at three hundred year highs here in the u.k. and two hundred forty year eyes in the u.s. they are wealth confiscation certificates for sure they represent no value whatsoever the only people buying these bonds are the computers buying amongst themselves for other computers and this is part of the takeover of civilization by the machines. right on the street. first street. and i think pictures.

make. me make. make make sure. you know. that's the. best you can become a part. of the you if you're a me i'm simply. depleted uranium should. include your brain. that we did you break. the bad. shape. tim you were one of the founding members of an economist's is one of my favorite labels you originally founded it you had passenger on there pedestrian. dos one all amazing artists what drove you at such a young age to form an independent label and how hard was it to get off the ground . you know i mean at the time it seemed like it was really difficult but seeing how

hard it is now so you get a name and creating music career it seemed incredibly easy comparing now to then but basically i don't know i just when i was like fifteen i just started recorded demos i got like i was in the right place at the right time on the radio station and i got invited into recording studios and so i just started learning about the music industry when i was like fourteen years old and that just kept you know i was always on the verge of sort of like internet stuff those were newsgroups and all these new forms of communication and sharing music were just emerging so we were just constantly connecting with people everywhere and it just i was always into the independent aesthetic i never wanted to be exploited i always wanted to reap the benefits of my labor so that's why i wanted to start a record label reason your new album death drive seriously feels like i took everything that i've been on the show and put it together in

a musical album i mean it's unbelievably amazing consciousness hell let's talk about the song baghdad shake which you just performed obviously a take up harlem shake real fired it. was watching the harlem shake thing and i just was like you know to me i really like to hijack means and take what is in the air and try to put something concrete behind it to give people better analysis and so i was just you know at the time i was just thinking about just how messed up we don't even think about the iraq war anymore it's like it never happened and so i wanted to make a song about war profiteers you know i talk to talk a little in the song about kind of degree. scare talk about. naomi klein's book the shock doctrine like the drop little things in there to get people thinking a little more critically about stuff but i just think it's funny to make a subversive dance song about you know the depleted uranium.

another song hey liberals this is amazing because this is a ballad to almost the death of the liberal class i love it i want to read some lyrics for our audience this is an antiwar song this is the ballad of the bullet in the back of the people that brought you in a work day cowardly class has no sense of history what you call it a liberal obama stickers with a peace sign i get that you're just. as i am i mean i am so dissolution of the two party system have uttered the test for the democratic establishment i feel like they're just as complicit but tim what would it be like if romney won. you know i wasn't going to vote it all ended up voted for i did vote for jill stein i think she's awesome i just you know this form of government the state it's all got to go . clearly democracy is a failure clearly there are other ways that we can organize our government we don't need representatives you know it's not the eight hundred we don't have this doesn't

take six weeks to get a letter from chicago to d.c. you know we have technology that makes it that makes a lot of these people just obsolete so yeah. i mean part of that is like through my experience with occupy would be a lot of my frustration because i always like i would always like to tiptoe between the more radical sects in the normal people and i would get really frustrated with both sides but specifically with the working class the kind of. union kind of people who just think that like all we need to do is get better democrats and all we got to do is we got to be we got to be the tea party for the left don't like none of that is going to work you know and i just. really there is this white washing of history that happens to where like you know the the liberals you know they just because the food in the you know have courts crystals and yoga in their in their homes that like somehow they're making the world a better place and really they're part of the problem there is one of the biggest

parts of the problem you say and one of your songs actually in the same time that you're a libertarian socialism this really resonated with me because i think that these isms and these box down ideologues are really preventing and standing in consciousness as well talk about what that concept means what a libertarian socialist is like the old country word for anarchist identifies an anarchist. but to me energy. is a set of practices it's a way to engage with the world horizontally without leaders without coersion and you know. to intervene directly in affairs it's not like i have to wear all black and you know talk talk down to people who don't think exactly the way i do so i think. you know one of the problems of libertarianism in this country is so many people young people who think they're libertarians but they don't even know where that word comes from that word stems from the old school libertarians which are

anarchists the lyrics in this album also talk about religion brainwashing people not caring about anything outside the world other than themselves and you take the phrase that you only live once and you spin it around and say that some people don't even want what do you mean by that to you know the post-modern statement about you know taking a selfie in front of the eiffel tower i mean it's funny we were doing this protest . like a week ago and we're like marching down the street and there are all these people on the side with their i pads and i phones like four or five of them just lined up there and so i usually don't use a bullhorn but this time of the give me that and so i'm just like look i'm like hey hey i'm not trying to be a jerk but i just want to point out this is not a performance you. as you're standing there watching us through your phones you know like this is actually happening is actually like do you want to stand there and experience this thing like verb issue or really through your i phone or do you just come join us and then like happened walked over and i was like yes the fourth

you know like like because if that's the thing that you go to show i'm like people just what staring at it through their i pad sunset going to be really good home and you. are your new album death drive just dropped you're about to go on a fat whore talk about people can find out more about your work and check out they can find out more about my work they go to soul one dot org s o l e o n e dot org they can get all my albums and listen to all of them on bank cam i have lots of videos on you tube you can go to youtube forward slash soul one dio t o r g awesome thank you so much tim really really appreciate coming on my pledge. the purple people one of you a new here but let's get real. let's get.

what about washington getting tougher on its allies like saudi arabia because it's no secret that saudi money was a crucial factor in the rise of the extremist can bomb or to take on the united states dragged their feet they did declare early on in the uprising. it was a terrorist organization. and others were terrorist organizations and proscribed but it didn't very little to carry through with that and to force its allies to equally prescribe those groups.
