it was recently revealed that under the guise of an hiv prevention workshop and as tourists young latin americans were sent to cuba by the u.s. government to overthrow that government yes the u.s. agency for international development organized for these young people to go to cuba to recruit and set up new political activists however the infiltrators were not very good at their jobs in the cuban authorities were able to nab these well funded travelers in their country this is nowhere near the first time that the u.s. government has tried to meddle in cuba in two thousand and nine usa he tried to set up a twitter like program to organize people in cuba and we can't forget about the ill fated cuban television airplane that was supposed to bombard the island with western media that was totally blocked by the government during the cold war i could see the justification to dominate cuba if the us didn't have influence in a country that automatically the soviets did but now what is the justification why does the us need to infiltrate cuba and by what right you want doesn't have nukes put in america and they have limited industrial capacity they can't do anything to

anyone just leave the poor island alone and let the people there figure out their own future without the us state department's help but that's just my opinion. that's right. people are going to be. like for the same thing everybody. know it. like. this. this case is dismissed. sometimes for

nothing. else it's. just still he will be just if you see the stage eight look to be with each other. l.o.l. come to me and call i'm sophie shevardnadze a political earthquake has hit and francis national front isn't at the center how much are they hoping to achieve with their sweeping victory in the new elections we ask the leader of the bloc but the magnet then is my guest.

this contempt of the brussels bureaucracy has broken through as e.u. voters swept euro skeptic parties into the parliament but do they have what it takes to take on the system should your grass be bracing for change or is this just a passing storm. but in a band leader of france's friend that is so not welcome to the program it's great to have you here i'll manage that some of the bend last time i was spoke you predicted in that you election should become the number one party in france and here we are you're number one so what's the very first thing you're going to did fail. the first thing that i will do is constitute a group in the european parliament to be able to prevent any new advances towards european federalism which i consider to be profoundly antidemocratic i believe that it goes against the sovereignty of the people and the economic social and

international interest of france. so along with our allies will now be able to provide a new voice different from the one which dominates and the european union to form a more. talk a little bit more about the european election now when you look at the bigger picture you are skeptics are in a minority in that chamber and they are new and forming a bloc yet so there wasn't really a victory so to say why do you think there is so much talk in the press as. this political earthquake that has taken place. on the ball of all the rules of operation of the european parliament will apply to the left wing and white wing parties of the parliament the european people's party and the party of european socialists to come together to defend their stances against the euro skeptics. i think it is

a moment in history where it will become apparent that there is no right or left wing that all this as a farce that in fact they defined the same ultra liberal vision the same vision of a federal europe the same vision. of the people maybe we have to go through this so that the people become aware that this left right fracture that was so much to them is truthfully speaking political fraud believe me we saw the faces of the people here in brussels who saw us come pouring in i think they believe the tall presence will decided to change their appearance of the european parliament and evidently all of the details that will take place in the parliament. hill how big is the problem of this year commissioners you want to get rid of flake has to sell it to issues so serious. sovereignty is the foundation of democracy without sovereignty there is no democracy because having the freedom to cost

a ballot and the ballot box is one thing but if the people you elected with your ballot have no power because the actual power was transferred to a supernatural body then we are no longer in a democratic process and this is exactly what we are currently going through i think it was a nine hundred fifty seven and the national assembly mendez front said that there are two ways to establish totalitarianism either all of the powers are united together or we transfer all the power to a supernatural body well that's exactly what they did by building the european union they transferred the sovereignty of the people to a supernatural body that is not elected and has no legitimacy and that imposes its will on the people this is true for our territorial sovereignty we're no longer in control of our immigration policy since with the schenk and all of our borders are open this is true for the monetary sovereignty since we are no longer in control of our currency our budgetary sovereignty it has just been transferred to the european

union but also our legislative sovereignty since currently eighty percent of the laws which are voted in the french national assembly are actually a transcription of european directives i consider that france is a free country and it should stay that way and since we were robbed of all of our liberties we should fight to get them back from the hands of those who stole them without all knowledge and against our will. just a little while back there was talk about the new rising super powers the european union this election shows that the blog is far from being universally approved superstate. will hear about never unite now. europe is not at stake it is the european union that is at stake europe exists and it consists of nations whose wealth lies in their uniqueness their sovereignty their freedom democracy so i'm for a unit of nations i wish that tomorrow we can constitute a europe that could expand but to countries that have preserved their sovereignty

and would work together on corporative projects this is what works and this is what i want to implement but in order to do this we have to dig construct this european union. it's not very long time ago i was talking to members of an alternative for germany party and he says that he wants to divide the euro zone into the rate schnorrers and to poor south. do you think this is a solution. no i think this is utopian i think the twenty trying to stick lost on the structures that it was forty from the beginning as far as the euro since this is really about the euro they want us to make a northern europe and the southern euro zone but in this case what is their advantage for southern countries to continue to have the euro imposed on them it would be better if they have reestablished their national currency and adapt the level of

the national currency to their economy to boost drivers employment and that supports now if germany wants to keep a euro monks iran that territory that is their responsibility if they see their interests there they are free to do it but we have no interest in integrating a sub-zero structure. so you've also said that you want to dissent french interests in the east germany what are those french interests or chairman policy is infringing upon. crystal let things be clear i am not a demand of fire on this one make any sense i cannot be mad at germany for defending their interest i simply find that their interests are divergent from ours is that simple i criticize the french leaders for not defending france's interests and for defending germany's interests for example in the case of the euro we can see that the euro was created for and by germany the euro is custom tailored but in

a way that fits only germany and not any other country of the european union what would. i want something tailored for me and for this i want a national currency is specially since currency is a part of sovereignty that one currency one country this is the way that ninety five percent of the countries in the world function by the way if tomorrow we go back to our national currencies german marks would be overvalued compared to the euro our new francs would be devalued compared with the euro and went down for benefit and germany would be at a loss currently germany is profiting from the euro since they have a currency which is structurally devalued which gives them a considerable competitive advantage. this european union has fallen under the domination of germany since germany has managed to impose its views on all of the other countries. and to and. from the point of view of the economy of employment of society who have suffered

a considerable loss in the last few years and will not continue to accept the suffering of the french people to placate madam marco. you know so you're not a big fan of this charity palaces in your opinion are ruining heroes but where else needs to be done to combat the debt crisis that. surely not to do this in any case because the austerity policies that have been implemented have shown not only their injustice but their futility their own efficiency the aborter of their stars the policies is greece just look at greece we sense the greeks back to the middle ages. they use unemployment rate is at sixty percent thirty percent for the rest of the workforce a drop in unemployment compensation a drunken salaries a drop in civil servants by mrs no longer have access to appropriate health care zusak rates have doubled and there's been a fifty percent increase and the infant mortality rate is this progress is this

what we have promised this is a disgrace it's scandalous. it doesn't reduce deficits or debt. greece's deficit and its debts are still increasing this is why i say that the austerity policies are both inefficient in attaining their objectives which is reducing deficit but they're also profoundly on just real and almost inhumane when look at the fact that in some hospitals in greece when women come to give us that given they have baby only in exchange for a bill to pay for their delivery. but every bit as good as it could you want to see as they had their european commission. it was almost completely don't care that all interchangeable this is a legend for your papers and for as you were a file it's beyond would tell them look at cetera while in reality all the same

completely the same as the president of the commission as the want to know the prison that's it but he's that to enforce the outlook ation of the rules so whoever the warden is you will apply the rules inside the prison this is exactly what the head of the commission does what collins is who will best apply the ultra liberal policy the transfer of sovereignty the expansions they want to impose on various european populations the signature of the transatlantic treaty with the united states which refund money contest and which will fight tooth and nail and. ok me up civil cool point that you buzz we're going to take a short break right now we're back with matt into the band leader of france's national front just about before and i mention of you publicist and what she thinks needs to be changed to stay with us.

crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want.

but you got a lot of sneering and negative press for your engagements here in russia especially a public appearances with food and even though they weren't explicitly political you were just supporting sports one of the scenes that certain people's regime has become very adept at is controlling the media for example right here c.n.n. do i think c.n.n. is you know completely telling it like it is no i see you have an agenda i think through jim is is bought and paid sleaze. led. by marinating join me on buses for in-depth impartial and financial reporting

commentary interviews and much much. only on bombast and on. big bucks but. they would like to do is do the job the price is the only industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and. that's because a free and open press is critical to our democracy albums. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and across several we've been hijacked by handful of transnational corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers once i taught mark it on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem. rational debate and real discussion critical issues facing. you know ready to join the movement then welcome to the big

picture. and we're back with mattie in the band had a francis one this year niall it's great to have you back on our show sure about. that so let's talk a little bit about the events in ukraine now you've called the e.u. and i'm that democratic monster which has made things worse with its offers of partnership to kiev and how exactly yes. listen obviously when the european union made this partnership proposal to ukraine this basically meant a rupture of their relationship with russia it was a kind of blackmail that could only fuel the divisions of ukraine since we know

that within the country there are citizens in the east which look towards russia and some in the west which look towards the european union were well aware of this and few willing these divisions was obviously putting in place conditions for a danger of civil war says the european union started initial fire and since then has only aggravated the situation via threats blackmail and sanctions which you can clearly see do not contribute to bringing everyone to the table to find a peaceful and reasonable resolution to this conflict. do you think that here i've had an understanding of that division between the east and the west it's like you're sad because sometimes you get an impression that you have had no idea what it was getting into. by definition it is not up to me to defend the competency of these bodies to not know this would be tragic such to political ignorance seems

astounding to me nevertheless the result is that the european union did not play the role that it could have played and it contributed to aggravating the situation . which is really a shame is that countries like france no longer have a diplomatic voice because. if it had kept a strong political voice a balancing voice like the one i wanted to recover what it could totally manage to overcome these difficulties. the diplomacy of the european union. only in ukraine each time the european union participates on the global stage it is usually either to create a problem or to aggravate. it. and as far as the sanctions go against russia teasing it's a sign. foreign policy is subordinated to the us how far do you think they will take those sanctions. if i don't know

maybe eventually the european union will have to face reality and come to the conclusion that it's not do it advantage to bend to america's well. in any case that is what i hope because these sanctions have contributed to strengthening everyone's opposing positions which makes no sense we were completely aware of the fact that russia faced with these sanctions wouldn't say oh well if it's going to be like that no problem do what you want that doesn't make any sense the sanctions that were imposed including those imposed on russian deputies and even the president of the duma which are even more problematic a rupture in historical traditions on the diplomatic level only progeny really do not sanction deputies because they are the expression of the people so under the impression that there are no more rules except maybe the ones imposed by the united

states which once again defend their own interests but their interests are not our ways. it can ukraine ever become a member and do you thing it should. obviously not obviously not once again here when the european union promised to let ukraine become part of it it clearly contributed to the acid ration of tensions within ukraine ukraine will not become part of the european union so long to tell tales ukraine absolutely doesn't have the economic level to become part of the e.u. going and once again it is a long way down the list i'm opposed to any new expansion so i say this was no judgment whatsoever i feel friendship towards the ukrainians so i went to my friends to the table of nightmares i want to leave the european union i can't invite them to join me in your bed but i will say the economic levels of ukraine

are so low compared to our ways on a social level so it would be once again and ancient european competition which would be insurmountable for our country i think the average salary is around three hundred euro they can imagine that they would face competition that will once again excessive break economic and social tensions within the european union. so i think it is annoying it is a promise that we knew full well that we would not keep. the g. seven and russia for the situationally crane and without more sanctions which is well known why our question leaders calling on russia and on putin it turned violent was another government in kiev i mean they do have a newly elected president right now so why not ask him and the government. was still that's a good question because we are at the culmination of

a cold war that has been fought against russia by the united states to which the european capitals have completely submitted on an international level it's as simple as that under shame as well. and i would like to seize this opportunity to express my. i compassion my sadness and my disgust to see these civil victims in the east of ukraine. who are dying surrounded by the general indifference of the european political world and media. it is a real scandal which is happening on our doorstep and your right to say that from the moment she crane has legitimate government it is the government which must take responsibility. but for this would need to demand to do cranium the government dismantle and design arm the reigning militia which would most likely embarrass a number of people. if you listen and the national ukraine were

accepted and recognized by all the major powers in the west despite the civil war that's going on in the country and the fact that there was no vote in the country's rebellious east region and at the same time elections in syria were branded illegitimate even before they were held. we resources yes but this has been happening for years i mean this auction such decides who is on the good side and who is on the bad side in this country change a tiny moment. the good guys of today will be the bad guys of tomorrow and maybe the bad guys of today will become good tomorrow if washington decides that it is to their advantage to make them good it is a shame since there is a substantial amount of mistakes that have been made at an international level under bush interns in place especially in syria who are the only ones among the french political parties to oppose intervention in syria the first and only ones here from the beginning sad but who are arming islamic fundamentalists who would if

they did win implement a reign of terror like they did in libya this was once again because of us we helped them come to power. this is the american method the international american method they defend their interests or they think that they are defending them since sometimes they make serious mistakes what is terrible is that european countries no longer have a say in thing was there are no more sovereign nations in europe that can be the voice of reason for peaceful settlement of conflicts the voice of balance between different interests of different nations. if president obama said the security of america's european allies to say chris and promising to boost u.s. military deployments and exercises around europe does security lead this kind of support. to defend ourselves against whom while you know

that we are for leaving nato for france leaving nato we have a goal the end vision of what international politics must be like we are for developing our relations with russia without breaking ties with the united states we believe that france must maintain its relations with all of the world's great nations and we do not want to be imposed with a way of seeing things by anybody we aspire to have the freedom to determine the quality and the level of international relations. found ourselves against whom when we asked this question to a french politician his answer was china it's almost makes you laugh we can clearly see that as a matter of fact this is an opportunity for the united states to carry out its military integration and maybe tomorrow economic and to gratian to extend the scope of its influence through the free trade agreements that the united states wants to

sign a tele price is really just another way to tie the european union in the quest identity and way to the united states this is once again a loss of independence not to mention the catastrophic consequences that this free trade agreement would have for us in terms of agriculture industry defense etc so this is much more a jew political treaty than a purely commercial or economic treat. and finally madame le pen obviously after your success in the european elections everyone is wondering if you're going to run for president in two thousand and seventeen. listen if the followers of my movement put their trust in me since we have an upcoming congress in november well i will run to be reelected as the head of front nazionale if i'm reelected as the head of the fan then i will obviously be a candidate for the future presidential elections which may take place earlier than

we expected either the presidential or the legislative elections given the extremely low level of support for the president of the republic francois longed for although i've only really using the presidential elections could take place earlier than scheduled to play alone could resign because it's good that's just what francois launce friends say have raised the question to figure out how they can hold on for another three years while sustaining such heavy losses in all of the elections organized in the meantime and having just a sixteen percent popularity rating among the french population. i strongly believe in an early dissolution of the national assembly if the results of this event a slate of election give the same results as the european election well the political party of the president of the republic which has all the power the state the national assembly the senate the regions thousands of municipalities this one

gathered less than fourteen percent of voices then i don't see how the president of the republic can continue like this in any case the question arises. but i finessed malema is ben thank you very much for the entry into every scene gave told me before in previous centuries came true so good luck with everything. that. we're talking to many look bad french politician a leader of the national front and the number one party in france thank you very much we're talking about the future of europe that's it for this edition of so think i'll see you next time.

i'm abbie martin the stories we cover here we're not going to hear any right other big story the extreme headlines and talk there is a reason they don't want you to now and then aren't they telling the truth is that we think we know let's break the set. i was trained. in december of two thousand and ten. more likely to be raped in college and in the real world. i don't think simple did that to each other when they knew each other i thought rape was a stranger on the precious. girl complaining about the son of an alumni gives millions of dollars to the school why listen to somebody who's going to lose money at the school if schools that make money based decisions are much more common than they would ever admit publicly.
