crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want. welcome to breaking in this set i'm abby martin so a couple months ago i noticed that a wikipedia page someone made for me got taken down although my page was put up later after statement i made became viral the ordeal caused me to realize that the

editing process for the online encyclopedia is very selective seeing alit group of super admins rule the narrative by majority consensus or mob opinions are accepted as fact clearly this poses a big problem by shutting down the freedom of information and by giving zero room for discussion or disagreement with the content posted and as the sixth most visited site in the world with over thirteen billion page views every month with a pedia is clearly a platform that billions of people rely on for their knowledge which is exactly why governments worldwide have honed in on the resource to propagate their agendas take israel for example a country that korea's for its the point of online trolls according to her rats multiple right wing groups along with a yes a council of settlements have been barred on a course that teaches israelis how to register for contribute to an edit wikipedia specifically and a prosiness fashion in fact the organizers even offered a nice little prize to the pope best zionist editor which included a trip in

a hot air balloon around israel isn't that sweet but israel's not the only government trying to at history in real time you see it just this week i was notified that my with a p.d.f. page had been edited from american journalist to russian propaganda. but as if that isn't funny enough turns out that the at it came from the halls of congress as according to a traitor account called congress at its that tracks all edits made by ip addresses and congress someone using not typey address from the halls made this clear vision to my page now we still don't know who did. but it is the first time that congress has toyed with wikipedia info in fact there's a whole page on wikipedia documenting congressional edits of course such an egregious edit can't stay up for long but how many thousands of people saw that before it was taken down look i wear it as a badge of honor because i'm pissing off people in high places that just means i'm

doing my job well. the. please please take the lead very hard to take a. look. at that sack would that hurt their little. please. please. please please. please. on day eight of operation protective ads the israeli military has committed perhaps

its most horrific war crime something offensive against gaza began this morning devastating news broke of the i.d.f. and tensional shelling of a beach that targeted four children aged nine to eleven the tragedy comes as the death toll in gaza surpasses two hundred least nine hundred thirty nine i'm sorry of which are children according the wall street journal and according to gaza's ministry of health over fifteen hundred palestinians have been injured but of course if you ask u.s. officials about the latest beach massacre it's hamas is fault these children are dead as an n.b.c. reporter treated the u.s. state department says that ultimately hamas is responsible for the four boys dead in. gaza shelling because they didn't agree to the ceasefire proposed by egypt you know it takes a certain kind of willful blindness to continue to blame hamas every time israel kills kids and there i spoke to journalist harry fear who was only metres away from that shelling this morning and has been living in the occupied territory off and on for two years in fact right after the interview was conducted

a bomb went off right next door to where harry was he in the film crew are on harmed now considering that the israeli government alerts palestinians shortly before bombing them either with leaflets or preemptive explosions many people don't realize why gazans can't simply flee impending attacks and i started by asking her to explain why this is the case. since two thousand and seven gaza has been a crippling policy of besiegement there are two main civilian crossings the other as crossing into israel and the rafa crossing into egypt at the moment palestinians congress leave from either the hundreds of palestinians that have lucky enough to have jewel citizenship to have a possible it's other than just a palestinian possible would have been able to evacuate since this escalation begun but the other one point almost nine million palestinians here prison in a tiny strip of land that's just basically forty kilometers in that there was just

a horrific shelling of course on the beach in gaza today where it seems only children were targeted there were no hamas targets there on that beach what's your response to israeli government's rhetoric that says it's only targeting hamas affiliates. all this strike on the four children took place just next to my hotel room and for me. a pulled in the us in the shocked and frustrated by this tragedy i mean it's disgusting. the killing of these children is unacceptable and israel shouldn't be using force when such casualty. going to be married the children are playing on the beach sure during the night it's known that militants go into that area joining the day i was that literally thirty meters away from where the children was killed only three hours before very with now the key here is that if i had been while the children with israel would

not have fired but because there was no international palestinians easy blood and so it doesn't matter what palestinian collateral damage is caused for israel and so it fired some kind of navy shell just at the marina which killed these boys on the beach it's horrific do you think that the international community will treat this as the war crime it is no especially where you are in the usa of course not and it's impossible really to imagine a situation in which the european countries would behave in tigris and their foreign policy and condemn this and react to it diplomatically i mean why is israel not being. made to pay the price diplomatically for these kinds of problems of face the war crimes just last week a few days ago we made a ripoff r.t. about the family i think was eighteen people killed including four children when israel struck this home to try and kill hamas is head of the police he wasn't even

killed but four children were killed this is another problem a face the war crime. what's the world doing about it. over recent years nothing's been done in the photo of those eighteen graves is just unbelievable the tragic area your report was excellent on that and i think it has a lot to do with just this rhetoric that we're very there hamas there hamas and hamas equals terrorism and you know there's all these anti palestinian means going on one in particular shows this house and it says a typical palestinian home basically tears of rockets stacked up and essentially terrorists packing the house i mean have you ever come across a bunker like that. i've not come across a bunker like for sure there are sides in gaza which are off bounds to internationals and john that's just the day when we were filming a piece we were told by some just random plain clothed security personnel not to point the camera in here but that's not the point actually the point is that israel

can kill just one person if it wants to it has during this operation commits a tongue to discuss nations it strikes one person with a drug and twenty meters away someone else is standing obviously scared for their life but it can't be precise if it wants to the point is it's no one thing to and one of the reasons is because the international community won't make israel appropriate the pay the price diplomatically and so israel can engage in this kind of military activity without really worrying about it and so we have situation around eighty percent or more palestinians who have been killed all civilians almost half of them are children we're told it's a real really it really isn't and here we are sponsoring israel with its only real three point five or so billion dollars a year sponsored militarily according to the guardian hamas rejected the cease fire proposed by egypt to talk about the conditions on either side and why hamas rejected the proposal. well basically israel's operation has been largely

successful it's been able to damage hamas heavily so say some israeli officials on the hamas hamas has not been able to really hit israel because of the success of the dome system this egyptian proposal for a ceasefire basically was condition so how mass would have won no medium or long term strategic benefits for the palestinians or itself for example the lifting of the siege of gaza easing of restrictions on palestinians freedom of movement and except through there was nothing involved in the egyptian proposal so this is something which is basically untenable for it having just lost of course hundreds of palestinians accepting a cease fire when israel has paid nothing basically just one israeli has been killed as a result of the rocket fire and massey's that is unacceptable and so we have this i mean humanistically speaking situation where the ceasefire was rejected from the

side which is being massacred for these kind of lone strategic vision so to speak right hamas wasn't involved in the process as i understand it kind of one over the head of which is the democratically elected leadership been part of gaza which is another thing people don't really realize let's talk about the ground assault because idea of senior officials are saying that that likelihood very high of a full blown ground invasion of army was gaza what could that mean for the residents there we have about a minute left. well honestly this time i think it's much more probable to have a ground invasion and suddenly in the israeli political sphere there's been much more noise about a ground invasion much more explicit statements if we compare this war to the previous one one time two thousand and twelve so i think the chances are much higher even the united nations here has said that it fears that israel will commit a ground invasion of some kind as this continues and just

a day at least for palestinian children were killed tonight of course rockets will be fiercely fought it fired into israel israel will fiercely respond there's no sign that this is going away any time that there is no military solution harry thanks for being on the ground risking your life to talk about the truth really appreciate coming on harry fear a journalist documentary filmmaker. coming up i'll talk about why a controversial g.m.o. study is really controversial all they turned. their words out with.

the midst of. a blizzard on the polish if you will of course later. do we speak your language was anybody will or not a day in. the news programs and documentaries in spanish what matters to you. a little eternity of angola's kiddies story. so you hear.

the spanish find out more visit i too am a dad. so you may remember that two years ago a stunning study came out giving the organic movement a big boost in its campaign against genetically modified foods or g.m.o. foods conducted by a team of french researchers and led by scientists giles' erik sarah leading the study found that rats fed by monsanto's roundup ready corn over the course of two years had increased levels of tumors and mortality compared to the control group of rats now just take a look at one of the highly disturbing frankenstein photos showing the rats that were fed g.m. corn and the findings were published in

a peer reviewed scientific journal food and chemical toxicology in september of two thousand and twelve but pretty much immediately after its publication the sara lee study began to come under intense fire from monsanto scientists say the ad giant took major issue with the fact that sarah laney only used a small sample size of ten rats to make its conclusions and the type of rats he had used had a natural tendency to develop tumors and this constant barrage of criticism worked leading the editor of the journal dr wallace hayes to retract the pain. completely claiming the study's methodology and the results were inconclusive as a big blow to the advocates of a g.m.o. free food supply and monsanto's criticisms of the study may have held some water except for one small detail monsanto conducted the exact same study on the exact same number and type of rats and published its findings in the exact same journal eight years before sarah leaning the only difference between the two experiments is

that while the sara lee study observed the rats over two years one santos study and it ninety days on the rats were still healthy yet one study lives on the journal for all of eternity and the other was delegated to the trash now thankfully one hundred fifty scientists all over the world condemned the food and chemical toxicology for its decision citing the disturbing level of monetary interests influencing the science and as dr michael hansen a senior scientist at consumers union and guest on this show said last year there's only three reasons to retract a paper one clear evidence that the findings are unreliable due to misconduct that is data fabrication or honest error to plagiarism or redundant publication three on ethical research and the letter that the editor of food and chemical toxicology dr wallace has sent to dr sara lee mean they admitted that they found no problem with plagiarism on ethical research or data fabrication now thankfully the work of these

scientists to bring to light the disturbing story of the sara lee new study has not gone unnoticed in fact after an extensive review process in which the paper passed no less than the real rounds of peer reviews the study was republished last month in the journal environmental sciences europe dr michael and to new molecular geneticists in london even went as far as saying that quote few studies would survive such intense scrutiny by fellow scientists the paper. and went to great lengths to ensure every level transparency possible by publishing the raw data associated with it something on the heard of for monsanto's g.m.o. research and if that weren't enough sara lee takes the unusual step of her via a separate commentary on the conflicts of interest that led to their original retraction he points out that mere months before the situation food and chemical toxicology hired a new assistant editor for biotechnology richard goodman well it just so happens

that richard goodman who worked at a certain multinational agro chemical company for seven years you guessed it on santo. listen it's one thing to launch a p.r. battle in defense of your product but it's another thing entirely to allow politics to dictate science this is a public health issue that people deserve to know so well the findings of the study are definitely not something to be celebrated the fact that sara lee and his team were able to overcome every corporate obstacle magical and republic this vitally important piece of research is a scientific victory for us all. i talked a lot on the show but the surveillance state here in the us and the ever expanding powers are governments willing to grant agencies like the n.s.a.

however the exact same abuses of power are taking place across the pond just yesterday the u.k. house of commons passed a legislation known as the data retention investigative powers act or d r i p. designed to widen surveillance capabilities of u.k. spy networks and strengthen their abilities to cooperate with private corporations the bills now slated to be passed by the house of lords and with little opposition from any political party there will likely be a rubber stamp through what a breakdown d.-r. ip as well as the other drama. in america's partner in crime this week earlier i was joined by journalist and host of arties going underground. i first asked him to break down exactly what d.r. ip means for the people britain. all the major parties supporting this legislation it was fast tracked through the house of commons then through the house of lords it's basically going to allow internet companies and telephone companies to store message data logs of all our incoming and outgoing phone calls geo location and all

that kind of thing for a year it's a response of europe will be in court of justice is judgment that britain was doing after we had restored revelations contravened previous the law as it stood oh so great so they're just codifying it now or railroading this legislation through i want to read something snowden said about the bill in an interview i mean that the n.s.a. could have read the draft they passed it under the same sort of emergency justification they said we would be at risk they said companies would no longer cooperate with us we're losing valuable intelligence that puts the nation at risk i mean that same interview he noted that this type of legislation excuse me is rarely passed in times of peace what sort of emergency justification to parliament have to push this through now they needed to go on holiday that seems to be the only possible justification already people are picking holes in it because say some teenagers

playing minecraft and running a server he's now under threat because he has to have all his friends' names and addresses of of people playing video games on a server that he might have in his house all sorts of pieces of aspects to this legislation that haven't been thought through there was some attempts at amendment saying at least not last till twenty sixteen all those amendments were defeated to the british labor party the labor party famous for of course the iraq war no surprise that completely. the government and. i don't know how it will affect sovereign governments over seas as people may have to see how that will affect british law and there really has been no debate whatsoever about so i guess the emergency justification was let's get this codified and legalize as quickly as possible so that we're not breaking violating the law we have a lot in common. in the us here glenn greenwald just broke the constitution that.

the pens on whether or not politicians are going to follow that. glenn greenwald just broke more snowden docs that shows how far g.c. h.q. is going to infiltrate the internet and if any and what's your assessment of the latest leaks well i mean it's so. bizarre that it hasn't been covered more widely over here people talk about the reshuffle the end of william hague the latest snowden documents go into great detail about how they have all names for they can change d.c. h.q. of setting a beautiful english countryside in gloucestershire is busy faking online polling they have the ability to bug sky taking photos from people's facebook accounts increasing decreasing web traffic for different sites they also say they have the ability and they will have different names i can remember all of them because whoever they are g.c. h.q. they have funny names for all these things they also have the ability to connect

two different phone calls together i don't know what that means for the spying legislation that could mean the possibility of a great potential for entrapment one would think they could easily have your phone call or difficult maybe in america because you see h.q. is based in britain connect to a phone perhaps a phone line of a known terrorist who knows i want to transition now of course what you said has everyone in a for the foreign secretary william hague announces resignation on monday of course whenever a high level for. resigns you hear a lot of niceties always a great servant it's time to go what do you think really drove him to resign now we're unsure as yet there have of course been rumors i know around the world the headlines coming from this country make every british subject seem like some sort of child abuser in waiting given that. abandon inquiries and then creating choir's as to the fact that child abuse seems to stretch through every

element of the establishment in this country with with proper sources of mainstream news reporting that can stretch from the b.b.c. to the government to the royal family but as for william hague. it's quite amazing that foreign secretary who of course got britain involved in those nato air strikes on libya which the college of which we're witnessing this week at tripoli airport i wanted britain wanted n.p.c. had to vote for the bombing of damascus and someone who continued to try to derail reproach more with iran and on ukraine was absolutely clear the whole thing was russia's fault and nato better be prepared for a cold war against russia there's also news today there is speculation that a swedish court may have lifted the arrest warrant for joining us on of course they decided to uphold it at the end of the day either way the u.k.

has said that they're ready to arrest the saunders regardless what reasons does britain have to do this considering the war has nothing to do with england well of course a very sad day that we had the swedish court to uphold that arrest warrant it seems so we've just gotten interested in questioning julian assange about these allegations and they seem unable to make a charge but they just won't i mean even for the two women that initially made the complaint doesn't it so of their cause right that so. the swedish authorities comes here and questions us who is. the need for us for his life is at the ecuadorian embassy here in london the metropolitan police here has its share of scandal of course in paedophilia as well let alone cash for questions with rupert murdoch the whole of the metropolitan police here is a war with the conservative party over numerous things the police here huge cloud over them from even elements of the establishment but if there's one thing's for

sure they felt whatever sweden did it was a silence you have a did to their. power by taking refuge in asylum courtesy of ecuador therefore he must be punished presumably the police here would have arrested him for a fleeing fleeing the police when he was under their protection finally i want to get your thoughts on something that m.p. george galloway recently said on the show when talking about the fact that former obama obama campaign advisers jim messina and david axelrod are advising david cameron and ed miliband campaigns in the u.k. he said of the three mainstream political parties their backside could have three cheeks they would be the three cheeks of the same back side i mean absolutely i have to political parties here do you think the parliament a parliamentary system there at least allows some political diversity to your political system is a fake thing on as such is the respect for that old colony where you're speaking to

me from is that both political leaders of the main parties here of hide president obama's advisers david axelrod and jim messina i think that was the guy ten years ago was involved in a homophobic homophobic campaign in montana or maybe that's the other one the idea is a top politicians that what we need is the glamour and gloss of american political intrigue it's not helping both bodies deeply unpopular apathy never be up. pulling turnouts at the most recent council elections so despite all of your wonderful obama white house people coming here probably a great expense being paid for by party members on the tories and the labor benches . they failed to enthuse certainly young people and more and more people generally in this country. are a. journalist thank you so much after coming on break you know
