crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want. the government says it wants to close the secretary of defense and defense department are committed to the president's goal of closing guantanamo bay. why are there so many people roadblocks for the remaining. six constitution doesn't apply to these proceedings the government has demonstrated that they have no respect for the it's pretty clear way through no you can't look inside that board you know you can't see the police which is adjacent to the client so if we actually have that had to grow there are a lot of issues that are being handled that are hireable join us as we seek answers to those issues and much more this is abby martin breaking the set on time in the
11:31 pm
back. fifty one years ago yesterday martin luther king jr gave his i have a dream speech which perhaps has as much meaning today as it did then unfortunately much of m.l.k. dream is still a dream it sits up on a shelf alongside other dreams like the american dream. now doubt that one. now not that one is or not that one he's heard that was yeah that so on but only fifteen years ago something else happened something that changed everything we knew about martin luther king's death and yet most people still don't know about it fifteen years ago the only trial ever held concerning the murder of martin luther king jr was concluded and no it wasn't done in someone's basement under the cover of ten foil there wasn't anyone with the word illuminati carved in their forehead and no the jury wasn't made up of beavers wearing bow ties because
11:32 pm
if it were i would have been there this was a real live trial between the king family in the conspirators who killed martin luther king all right this was real in the civil trial in one thousand nine hundred ninety nine a jury found a u.s. government agencies along with others guilty of assassinating m.l. . in memphis in one thousand nine hundred sixty eight after hearing from seventy witnesses including lloyd who assisted the sniper and owned a jim's grill from which the shot was fired the jury took less than an hour to decide that one malt of all government agencies were responsible for the murder to james earl ray the man we've always been told pulled the trigger had nothing to do with it and three the mainstream media is a stain on the soul of this country tarnish so deep and dark it makes the bermuda triangle look like a slip n slide or perhaps a crocodile mile you know if you or your parents were stingy and wanted to make
11:33 pm
sure the other kids laughed at you james earl ray signed a confession because he was told it was the only way he got to trial once he realized he would get no trial he recanted his confession and maintained his innocence in till his death even carette his god king and the king family said he was innocent on the other hand the twentieth special forces group was shown to have a sniper team at the location of king's murder this is significant development because snipers are good at putting bullets through things from a large distance away. and it just so adam are looking at a bullet from a large distance away something tells me the sniper team wasn't jim's grill that evening for delectable cooking mado barbecue ribs are hurting their finger licking good. so you're telling me under u.s. law the u.s. government has been found to have assassinated one of the ten most courageous most beloved american leaders and most people in this country still don't know it i
11:34 pm
can't turn on a t.v. without hearing that some rapper is guilty of weapons charges or kim carr dad she is guilty of showing too much side boob or donald trump is guilty of being a block at ramming full of douche everybody in this country knows every step one breath orgasm in spasm that involves justin bieber taylor swift or brad pitt. it can't avoid it can't not know it even if you try yet this government our government and government was found guilty in a court of law of straight up murdering a peaceful disobedience icon a legend who led the american people out of the dark ages a modern day prophet number five on the list of greatest americans behind only george washington ben franklin lassie and balcony from perfect strangers all right and that's impressive because about you wouldn't even american if they were found guilty by a jury in one thousand nine hundred ninety nine and we never heard a word of it even if you're one of those people who want to go it was
11:35 pm
a civil trial that doesn't matter at all does that mean we're not entitled to hear about it and make our own decision because there was not a peep from the media to this day you are more likely to hear a news anchor so you're more likely to see a news anchor breastfeeding adult man in a diaper a live on the news add five dollars to see them mention the only trial ever held on the assassination of martin luther king jr in the words of mother teresa what is going on around here coming to you from washington d.c. the value to me says a redacted tonight. welcome radack to do. good to see you see any show can have an audience of like two
11:36 pm
hundred all right but we prove we're more discerning than there is by having an audience of like twelve. or thirteen if the janitor hangs around i'm your host li cam now let's take the news from behind we start off tonight with something pretty groundbreaking that minority leader mitch mcconnell said on the floor of the senate this really is a game changer a paradigm shift or if you will and yet very few outlets are talking about it could it be because they're scared of the ramifications of his bold words take a look. i . am. pretty strong ration for the one or. more of that speech.
11:37 pm
here's the question can anyone argue that frog has achieved any less in his career than mitch mcconnell has when switch gears to the war on terror researchers from the university of california san diego the university of michigan and johns hopkins have come out with an analysis of the x. ray scan machines that were used in airports until a year ago and are still used in courthouses jails other secure a government facilities my bedroom this privacy invasion device which displays nude images of people as they pass through it is called the rapiscan one thousand i wish that were a joke that see actual name of the company sure some may claim it's pronounced rapidly scanned but it'll always be rapiscan to me. the researchers found that it's ridiculously easy to fool these machines and in many cases it's easier to fool them then it was to full traditional metal detectors you know the ones that cost ten bucks on the dad if you're wearing button fly jeans so basically they've been
11:38 pm
raping scanning those three years for no reason and i think they just do it for like a little psychological leverage you know in the big game whichever team is seeing the other teams twig and berries is the one with the upper hand i think phil jackson said this. but since last year there is a different kind of rapey scanner and it's all of our airports however no one's been able to test whether they have the same problems for all we know they're just as bad then of course there's the fact that the entire war on terror is a trillion dollar farce designed to keep us scared and docile subservient and futile afraid of the big bad wolf wall while our bank accounts and pensions are raided by corporate monsters right here at home financial terrorists running free you know to take it to a cynical place. by the way we highly recommend you tweet at rapi scan systems and ask them you know whatever you like we decided to start it off here i
11:39 pm
was a priest insisted on trying to for members of my penis looks like can you send me the pics. you saved. well doubt that the national security agency spies on all of our electronic communications and this tracking has become so ubiquitous that average americans feel powerless but there's a new way to fight back it's called the off now coalition here to explain maurice senior surveillance liaison john f. o'donnell. was there was a sheepish applause but it picked up and they took their time with their time with it how you doing john played it cool. i'm good man you know i've got nothing to hide i'm an open book for example whenever i share with a friend i always take the bigger half sandwiches candy bars girlfriends whatever no more can you tell us about this off now dot org sure of course some activist group called the tenth amendment center claims that states don't have to cooperate
11:40 pm
with federal agencies that are violating our rights through warrantless surveillance interesting how exactly would states be able to cooperate with me not cooperate with well i suppose the same way i don't cooperate with my roommate when he asked me not to walk around the apartment bottom was. drinking gold lager out of his direct him and i have no more secrets once again. i'm pretty sure if followed i'm not sure i want to follow really who apparently states cannot cooperate with the feds by refusing to provide material support the n.s.a. is data center and needs one point seven million gallons of water a day to function against that water from the local municipality if they shut it off and as a surveillance would be reduced amazing that's awesome. couldn't have been couldn't. listen to the woods of the raging ignoramus but. sure he knows what he's
11:41 pm
writing ignoramus what the hell is that that really. they is one the gay name they have total control over our privacy i have just let go and accepted it now we can all reveal whatever i shoplift anklets from for for ever twenty one just to feel alive. no more secret time to have one eleven billion dollar annual budget one hundred thousand employees a brand new data collection center the size of seven ben bernanke partnerships with one hundred seventy one universities and no congressional oversight yeah they've won she says my brain shut off just when you said seven pentagons but that's suppressing this suppressed because it's not it's great everything's public domain wanna hear about my sexual dysfunction. i know i know oddly enough it only happens when there's a crescent moon and no fewer than five special friends but no more than ever really
11:42 pm
i really really don't want to hear is there anything else that the off now project suggest we can do yes they say states can withdraw support from federal agencies because of the anti commandeering doctrine which the supreme court has firmly established so there's a legal framework that's incredible that's a great one. as your enter good knowledge of my internet search history is highly. do not listen to the embittered simpleton to my. for his ego is writing checks that is. only listen listen play cool the n.s.a. can be no more fide there is precedence for the states to stop the feds and worked in nevada with the proposed yucca mountain nuclear waste facility nevada didn't want it so they withheld water and the project died so the strategy is effective
11:43 pm
absolutely all the information need to know is that off now dot org. they've drafted the fourth amendment protection act it can disrupt the n.s.a. if we reach out to our state legislatures about it this actually will be a prince. is merely. lost in the figurative woods of his broken my. piece a modern day holden caulfield as your. tragedy and loneliness who are fifty. food. she. john you can stop i'm sure your cover is back i think you're all right cover that last one was just really john i didn't want to.
11:44 pm
i marinates join me. for in-depth impartial and financial reporting commentary cancer news and much much. only on the bus and only on. the swaziland washington well it's a miss. is being suggested in the list of numbers of the. candidates are perceived going to actually back to and doesn't do too much for ad revenue my own tech agriculture giant takes on a seventy six year old american farmer based in india fallout do you think this is
11:45 pm
going to create for the cia do you think this is what's triggering a race because the largest a comedy in the world it's also the largest debtor nation in the history of breaking the set is mostly about alternatives to the status quo but one might get real all of the points to looking for the american dream the next they were just trying to survive it's time for americans and lawmakers are forced to wake up and start talking about the real causes a problem. wealth inequality it's a bit too much family the janitor did hang around wealth inequality continues to spiral out of control since the occupy protests broke out in two thousand and eleven the problem has only gotten worse all told the top one percent of this
11:46 pm
country holds an astounding thirty two point six trillion dollars well the majority of americans deep in debt work their asses off just to survive and the mainstream media is not talking about this either according to a study by fairness and accuracy in reporting on average someone of fact did by poverty of appeared on any nightly news show only once every twenty days an average of just two point seven seconds per twenty two minute nightly news program that means poverty is covered less often than a water skiing squirrel. and between poverty and skiing squirrel only one of those two things is crushing our country i'll give you a hint the squirrel is innocent but when ever you talk to the rich about poverty and the working poor they like they like to respond ah those people they say they're having trouble but you know they and they have their own t.v.'s and video
11:47 pm
games guess what mother those t.v.'s and video games are the only thing distracting people enough to stop them from shoving a pitchfork up here. as you can see from this chart video game quality has to increase to stay above wealth inequality because the moment it dips below. uprising you rich face killers are in a world of hurt if that happens as long as the u.f.c. is bloody enough and the poor as well raunchy enough everything keeps running but if the n.f.l. goes on strike you people. are screwed all right so listen up you rich poop stanes you better hope and pray that the seventy percent of this country who are suffering have all the access to video games and t.v.'s they could what grand theft auto is your last line of defense. and a half of one percent by the way half of the percent of the wealth of the top one percent is all it would take to do away with poverty in america can you imagine
11:48 pm
that in your head let me explain this in a different way all right this is how much wealth the bottom fifty percent of the country has if it were measured in cookies all right this is the amount of wealth bottom fifty percent has its one one percent of the well ok now the top one percent of the country has this much wealth. ok let me clear that up ok. now how much of that wealth would it take to eliminate poverty across the country that much i half of a percent of their wealth no more homeless no more hungry children no more living in cars as david to grow said in his terrific article on this topic having well distributed so incredibly on equally is a crime against humanity but i'll tell you the real crime against humanity not to
11:49 pm
try these cookies i'm pretty excited i'm going to do a little taste as i write this this is the this is the rich cookie tastes like institutional privilege and a hint of sociopathy right now here's there's a pork. that's gross that has like poor people but isn't that pretty gross. poor people always get larger throat. let's move now into something that's not so depressing. snuggles about snuggles right. down to brass you know that's one of the few understandable facts on this planet snuggles adorable nothing depressing here he spends his day just bouncing on fluffy talents and book talkin dryer sheets what a schedule to have. to go in town has it's awesome but there's something snuggles is hiding from you his smile and off his smiles and giggles mask
11:50 pm
a dark past of death and misery according to a rigid alter net article dryer sheets release fact and compound that coat your clothes and keep them saw this come that is made out of a fatty compounds some of which are linked to asthma and cancer silicon oil and skerrick acid derived from animal fat that means there are vegetarians unknowingly walking around covered in animal fat. i think the powers that be just did this to. go ahead go ahead stop eating animals we'll just smear them over your bodies when you least back ten that's like being an atheist and being tricked into eating the toast with jesus's face on it not fair it's a hating gay people and then being tricked into gay sex again and again and again like reverend haggard was nodded fair not good you could not even deny full little bastard if you didn't have a fluff that would make
11:51 pm
a kuala bear blush i would punch you square but no i would if these ads were honest they would show snuggles walking around with a carcass of a dead pig and rubbing the bloody fat across screaming children's faces in lord of the flies has nothing on struggles. but that might hurt sales a little what say you say snuggles and cookies were not non depressing anough well how about blue dress which. that's right. the loons like this one got to get a lot of props that here today like this one for celebrating the birth of a new baby boy i stole this from a hospital so that i could get my daily fix of helium and just as i was about to bite into it like snuggles into a fatty bovine i stop myself why you ask because pretty soon these won't exist in these balloons anymore at least that's what redacted and i correspondent sam sachs kids yelling about is on the front lines for this report.
11:52 pm
helium it's one of the most abundant resources in the universe here on earth where global capitalism. we're running out of the stuff which will have significant impacts for our world a manager and mr speaker a world without balloons. well that ain't so bad helium for. comedians to get high pitched voice. so that to catch up but really helium isn't just about mickey mouse voices in balloons it's used in medical technology like m.r.i. machines as well as computer chips and spaceflight and it's powering the largest machine ever built by humankind. the large hadron collider sixteen kilometer long
11:53 pm
atomic racetrack underneath switzerland it is using super baguettes powered by helium to smash together particles at near light speeds hoping to recreate the conditions of the big bang and answer some of the most pressing questions of the universe so no helium no all to be an answer to the universe and i can live with that so why the hell is there helium shortage now that these problems started back in one nine hundred ninety six with a law passed by congress that's literally called the helium privatization act you see helium is a strategic resource it's a very stable gas that doesn't catch fire but u.s. government realized this about ninety years ago and created a national helium reserve in texas but maintaining the supply put the national helium reserve into debt and so in one nine hundred ninety six the helium privatization act mandated that the reserve start selling off the helium stores to
11:54 pm
offset debt from building the reserve and from the everyday costs of running it once the federal helium reserves that was paid off it would be shut down and hand over production and sale of helium to private companies oh in they sold the helium to these private companies real cheap meaning you could pretty much get all the helium you wanted. right and in two thousand and thirteen when the debt was paid off in the fire sale scheduled to end congress kept the federal helium reserve spicket open so as not to disrupt global helium prices ignoring the strategic consequences of other countries creating their own helium reserves while the u.s. is and also ignoring the ultimate question of what happens when we completely run out of the stuff which if this ravenous consumption continues we'll be in about forty years which means we're running out of time turns out we're running out of
11:55 pm
all sorts of stuff rare earth materials may dry up in a few decades ago systems like rain for coral reefs and farmlands have between one and two centuries left minerals like aluminum copper and silver are all expected to go into production decline within the next one hundred years this is all that we privatized and are now selling off until total exhaustion. and if we keep it up nearly everything will be dead or empty we'll just share the planet with grasshoppers because of the lack of grass by then they will have evolved into sand hoppers unless we've used up all the sand that were told not to worry technology will solve scarcity and if not they want to go live on another planet ok but what happens when the sun gets bigger and bigger and eventually falls out most everything in the solar system oh we'll go live on another solar system you say ok
11:56 pm
but ultimately everything in the universe is moving farther and farther away from each other so that a bench really well just the dark frozen chunks of ice floating in nothingness so is that the ultimate meaning of the universe while the large hadron collider might tell us unfortunately we're going to run out of all the damn helium needed to run it. but there might be hope when it comes to helium supplies after all. we run through the national helium reserve and then the rest of the world's helium reserves there's still another place we can get the stuff to space which will make the cost of production prohibitively expensive many balloons like these could cost a thousand bucks in the future although i knew just the mining team that could extract that space helium just a series of. space right for space. reporting from washington d.c. sam sachs redacted tonight.
11:57 pm
