what's happening folks i'm out here martin and this is breaking in the set so it seems people aren't too happy to find out about facebook's controversial psychological experiment where the social media giant intently manipulated users' news feeds to exploit their emotions that anger is mainly feel by the fact that not one of the seven hundred thousand facebook users who were subject to human experimentation actually gave their consent but if that's not bad enough it turns out that the experiment was partly funded by the department of defense that's right the very project called the minerva initiative this division is said to be studying nonviolent activist groups to better understand and prepare for a massive societal breakdown well i just spoke to guardian journalist malfeasant mad about why this program should trouble us all. when they actually categorized

these activities that they were studying they specifically categorized peaceful activists as supporters of political violence so even if you are not engaged in what might be described as to the if you are a member of a group that is somehow questioning the status quo or calling into question government policy you will get being active on the environment or calling into question corporate policies then you could be seen as a supporter of political violence so now that we know that this facebook has was actually a part of minerva it's obvious that the government is extremely invested in learning how it can influence opinion online those tactics nothing new considering what we recently learned about what they u.s. idea was doing in cuba was zuzu neo a twitter clone web site sponsored by the state department what the aim of undermining the castro government so if you think that the private sector is only collecting your private data for marketing purposes it's becoming quite evident

with this collaboration that they are militarizing in social science as well and we . were the guinea pigs and let's break the sack. please. please they are very large atlanta. that are actually really that are their little.

beast it's what's for dinner but there's a reason why the slogan is created here in the united states us consistently ranks in the top five in the entire world in per capita big consumption and last year americans consumed more than twenty five billion pounds of the meat but a deadly disease can track and from beef that is usually associated with the united kingdom is reemerging right here in the u.s. i'm talking about bovine spongiform and go philosophy more commonly known as mad cow disease see when humans ingest cattle with mad cow they can contract a variant creutzfeldt-jakob disease or c.j.d. a disorder that attacks the nervous system and eventually leads to death over two hundred twenty people worldwide have died as a result of c.j.d. in the last month officials confirmed the disease is for the u.s. death and texas at the same time over four thousand pounds of b. was recalled by a whole foods market supplier over fears that the meat was tainted by mad cow so to

discuss why we're not hearing more about these events that are doing enough to protect us beef supply i'm joined now by dr michael hansen senior scientist at consumer union thank you so much for coming on michel. you're welcome to be here so dr hansen for those that don't know can you start by giving a brief overview of the symptoms of c.j.d. what it does the human body and where does the disease originate. variant c.j.d. variant c.j.d. or v c.j.d. is what supposedly. caused by eating meat from cows that have been infected with mad cow disease but it is a disease of the central nervous system and particularly the brain that's where you see the symptoms. spongiform basically means sponge like so it's a disease that causes functionally holes in the brain and. people have different a they sort of become they can't move or they make jerky movements

there's a range of symptoms but it's an invariably fatal disease and how does it originate in cattle today and how widespread is it both domestically and globally well they don't really know there was this outbreak of you know b.s.e. that happened in the european union in the united kingdom spread to europe it spread to the united states and what they've learned is you have to stop certain animal re feeding practices and we haven't done that and even though they try to say that there's forms of mad cow disease for example our fourth case of mad cow disease was in a california dairy cows that was discovered in two thousand and twelve and it was a quote atypical strain and they just said well it happens it's a spontaneous mutation and that's not really true i think there's more and vironment linkage in terms of. x.

previous exposure to. what you were you just mentioned before about the feeding practices what is it about industrial factory farming that might facilitate this to . well until they outlawed it you could literally grind up cows and feed them back to themselves so they've outlawed that practice but there are some loopholes for example you can take blood from cows and feed it back to cows in fact they use plasma. as milk replacer also it turns out you can grow. most parts of them put that in chicken feed and then you can turn around and take chicken litter and feed it to cattle in the mid two thousand for example we were feeding about two billion pounds of chicken litter and that could be as the head of our then food and drug administration said that chickens waste so much feed that chicken litter can be up to one third of its weight can be spilled feed.

yes that is in fact. when food and drug administration. lupul try to tighten up the feeding practices and still. allow these loopholes this repeating of the feeding of blood products not only did we have jack but many of the scientists objected they wrote letters so did mcdonald's nobel prize winning stanley. scientist and yet we still continue to. allow these practices to happen and we are not looking very carefully for the disease either well let's talk about the latest from c.j.d. in texas what do you know about the circumstances surrounding not in the recall four thousand pounds of beef. those are two different things the death that's the fourth case in the u.s. of a variant c.j.d.

which is definitely linked. all they've said is that this is a man and he did a lot of traveling but there's been no details on where he traveled and how because the other three. cases that have been found in the u.s. were people that were born or lived in the united kingdom or the middle east for long periods of time this person in texas this is the second case now in in texas and they won't reveal any details beyond his age so they haven't told us where he's traveled. years to suggest that there was a risk there or there is just none of that and the recall of the four thousand pounds of need is certain to call specified risk materials basically. certain lands are considered to be a call s.r.m. specified risk materials and they're not allowed in the human food supply and this four thousand pound was because some of those. specified risk materials

did make it into the human food supply so if an animal had been infected that would be considered very infectious material it's not supposed to go into the food supply so that's why they tried to do the recall but it's unclear whether they actually any of that meat was ultimately recalled dr hansen and what protections need to be put in place at these farms that aren't currently there to mitigate the risk of the fatal disease. well i think what has to happen is the food and drug administration needs to take strong action they need to completely ban the feeding of most. proteins back to food animals so they have to cut that practice they also which they they take information right now they monitor feed and violations of these feed rules those should be reported publicly they used to be reported publicly but now you can't get that information that's how for example we were

finding in two thousand and seven in two thousand and eight there were you know thousands and thousands of tons of buy a live feed that was getting into the feed supply so the f.d.a. need. to tighten up the feed chain they also need to monitor the more carefully and what the u.s.d.a. should allow is they need to look american more carefully for the disease and there's actually a cast that certain companies wanted to use to test their meat and the u.s. government the u.s.d.a. won't allow those tests to be used and we think they should be allowed to be honest we have about thirty seconds left but why do you think the media and also the beef industry isn't taking that much of a hit considering that when mad cow is first scabbard it was a huge international story you know the industry took a major hit why did it there is so little attention paid to these recent deaths well because there's now this is not you know we had the fourth case two years ago and there wasn't much coverage of that it was the media saying oh these things happen randomly it's because people don't want to pay attention and they have this

new notion that oh this just happens that random it doesn't and these cases are going to keep on happening until stronger actions are taken thank you so much dr michael hansen senior scientist at consumer union really appreciate your time. thank you coming up we'll talk about the disturbing new developments on the ground and palestine stick around. i marinate join me on in-depth impartial and financial commentary in service and much much. only on the bus and.

for which probably the most complex human. first. of all. locked up. in the phenomenon of friendly fire probably extends back to the invention of gunpowder. kill a bunch of people who don't know what they're up their families there are of us people . reading and writing. this summer shoots my brother in the leg not intentional because of it because it was night time for in the morning even the best even the bausch shoulders. are going to make mistakes this is this whole idea of brotherhood an author and camaraderie in

this sense it was in this context it has absolutely no place. choose your language. we can we know if. someone. chooses to use the consensus he can. choose the opinions that you think are a couple. choose the stories get him to. choose access to often. tensions in israel are on the discovery of the bodies of three israeli teens who have been missing for weeks according to israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu the palestinian group hamas is responsible and as such has ordered air strikes

across the gaza strip and to make matters worse just today the body of a palestinian teen was discovered in what his family claims to be a revenge killing by three men who forced him into a car and drove away so discuss these recent events as well as the side of the story you won't hear from the corporate press i'm joined now by journalist and author of goliath fear and loathing in greater israel max blumenthal amazing to have you on max. great to be on with you so max start by briefly giving us the most recent updates of what are you hearing happening on the ground during the last twenty four hours. there are clashes and where the seventeen year old palestinian boy who was found murdered apparently in an x. jewish extremist revenge attack was from it's a refugee camp in occupied east jerusalem and. there are these clashes have been going on for a day this is following israel rampaging through the west bank abducting over five hundred palestinians placing almost two hundred under administrative detention

without charges raiding universities killing six people while bombing the gaza strip and exacting casualties there and it's my view that the israeli government knew from the beginning that the three kidnapped and murdered israeli teens were dead they knew who the alleged perpetrators were who the chief suspects were and they may have even had an idea of where the bodies were from the beginning two weeks ago and that they concealed this information through a gap. order from the israeli public in order to bring us to the crisis where we are today which has only benefited netanyahu and his extremely right wing coalition at the expense of everyone else living under their control right according to mondo why is this really government allegedly did know about those circumstances put a gag order on the case really unfortunate why do you think that there is that

clampdown on information just to get those tensions heightened. do unite the israeli public against palestinians and behind netanyahu has carefully stage managed this crisis by for instance deploying his wife to introduce the bring back our boys hash tag netanyahu appeared on israeli media constantly looking at maps netanyahu statement after the three kidnapped teens were allegedly found although they may have been their bodies may have been discovered earlier invoked a poem by the famous jewish poet referring to a jewish massacre in europe and calling for blood vengeance so he's explicitly linking this to the holocaust he referred to the killers and hamas as human animals and his incitement has led directly to the murder of this seventeen year old palestinian boy apparently abducted by settlers now the israeli government.

and its intelligence services and the palestinian authority had a recording of a phone call by one of the israeli teens who were apparently abducted that. they could hear a gunshot in the phone call they had known that these teens were dead since sometime around july fourteenth not only that but it was reported in palestinian media that the israeli of israeli forces had raided the homes of the cole was may and families in hebron ten kilometers from the site of the alleged kidnapping and accuse these two. their sons of conducting the kidnapping those are the two suspects who have been announced but they were announced two weeks later so it's clear to me that the israeli government has manipulated this situation to avoid a police action to a justify a military action directed at hamas and the palestinian unity government which is led to the crisis we're seeing today and max and then you have the housing minister

calling for more settlements as a metallic tory measure i mean a ton of inflammatory rhetoric there's a lot a lot of tensions high and right now let's take a look at the media coverage in the aftermath of front page of the new york times today showed a palestinian throwing a rock in relation of the story about the palestinian being murdered max what does this type of framing reveal about the media bias regarding this entire situation. jody roux door and who's the chief correspondent for the new york times jerusalem bureau a bureau that is house in the home of the karmi family a palestinian family who have been ethnically cleansed and who have to ask the new york times reporters for permission to see their house in west jerusalem jodi rell door and has produced so along with her deputy editor isabel kershner articles profiling the three killed israeli teens humanizing them deeply empathetic articles about their mothers there has been very little on the palestinians who've been killed in israel's rampage through the west bank and gaza strip or the palestinians

who've been killed in races apparent racist hate crimes and revenge attacks incited by netanyahu worse is the article today by rude or an incursion or which weights to the eighteenth paragraph to discuss the campaign of incitement and the race riots in jerusalem by jewish extremists who have been stoked by high level figures in the israeli governing coalition it's clear that the new york times is involved is engaged in a whitewash of the real sources of this crisis and doing deep disservice to its readers. beyond that. i see very little discussion of this crisis and the real roots of it in progressive media and your show is one of the few shows that i see discussing it even in the alternative online media and let's get into that because according the ministry of information in ramallah so many palestinians have been killed by israeli forces since the second intifada that equates to one being killed every three days for the last thirteen years in fact two palestinian teens were

just gunned down broad daylight on camera last month i didn't hear the white house issuing condolences for and then why do you think this latest tragedy is being framed as different even by alternative media sources suggesting that because israeli teens are dead it somehow makes the playing field equal. what we're hearing a lot of rhetoric about a cycle of violence as if one side isn't the oppressor and the other side is an oppressed and we're seeing undue focus on the. israeli the three israeli victims israel while the rampages through the west bank through jerusalem and gaza portrays itself as the victim and that was netanyahu is intention from the beginning that's partly why i think the details of this crime were concealed from the israeli public it was to allow netanyahu to milk this crime for all it was worth to portray israel as a victim and as we've seen time and time and time and time again in us media

israeli jews are the worthy victims while palestinians are unworthy victims unworthy of being humanized and jodee rich doron of the new york times who recently wrote about one of the boys killed in broad daylight that you mentioned on closed captioned t.v. execution style by an israeli soldier referred to him as one among the thousands who died in the struggle against israel that is the kind of language that's consistent with the dehumanisation of palestinian in supposedly objective media and minds i'm curious of what your response is to people who say well what do you expect israel to do when rockets are being shot into the car. three and what retaliation should be issued for the kidnapping and murder of its citizens. i expect israel to colonize and allow the eighty percent of the people from the gaza strip who are refugees to be allowed to return to their land and property that was taken from them if you want to understand the roots of palestinian violent resistance you can't go back one week or two weeks or a few years ago or

a few intifadas ago this is not a cycle of violence it's rooted in a in a settler colonial apartheid state which is which is engaged in an ongoing campaign to dispel dispossessed palestinians of all they have in order to consolidate its ethnic purity that's the root of this crisis and that's what we should be talking about as well as the current round of violence and this will continue as long as the status quo continues all of the trends that we're seeing today including the fascist trends in israeli society will deep in and intensify lastly max we have about a minute left but i want to talk about boycott divestment sanctions noam chomsky just wrote this article in the nation saying palestinian activists need to rethink their strategy but in it and i can read the whole quote isn't enough time but he basically says that if the road goes ahead and the same road that it is now is going to be worse than south africa why do you think that he doesn't support b.d.s.

but still seems to understand the severity of the situation on the ground it could be worse in south africa. i have a lot of respect for noam chomsky i don't really want to trash him personally but i have noticed from a lot of critics of b.d.s. who claim to criticize it as allies of palestinians that there laundering their own opinions behind a very conservative and even cynical view of reality. to limit the explain the horizons that b.d.s. has expanded the political horizons and that's what chomsky appears to be doing he's almost asking us to accept the status. that israel's imposed and to limit palestinian demands in b.d.s. which is i think of already demonstrating a lot of great successes so i think it's really up to those of us who consider us allies of palestinians who are in solidarity with the palestinian struggle for justice to allow palestinian civil society to continue to take the lead and to not try to impose our own conditions and our own limitations on their struggle it's

unfortunate that the nation is chosen to publish this thank you so much max blumenthal always an incredible insight on this crisis really appreciate it thanks for having me. whether it be hip hop rock or r. and b. many popular american musical genres exist today only because of the birth of jazz and blues that's why i'm especially excited to be featuring my next guests there are three piece band from l.a. called the young old man comprised of members need to dig runs and we'll listen in qur'an gandhi their musical influences spanned far beyond the u.s. and india west africa and iran and their personal narratives translate into incredibly soulful music style of playing that falls in their hybrid genre called travel blues here they are performing the song plastic lives.
