7:29 am
breaks and many are asking the ruling elites. greetings and salutation. while many on capitol hill quaking in shipper with rage and fear over the mere mention of the two thousand and sixteen u.s. presidential elections and rushing back in it appears that the real threat to our voting public may not be from nefarious hidden foreign hackers but from our own two political parties are ongoing blunders and their thirst for power case in point this week it was revealed that a republican to contract a data mining firm accidentally exposed the personal information of just about every single registered voter in the united states of america. i wish i was
7:30 am
actually making this up but sadly i am not discovered by upcard cyber security researcher christa vickery the leak contains the sensitive personal data of over one hundred ninety eight million u.s. voters that was compiled and categorized by deep analytics according to analysis by the intercept this week it includes a mix of private information and data gleaned from public voter rolls the voters date of birth home and mailing addresses phone number or registered party you self reported racial demographic voter registration status as well as a computer modeled speculation about each person's race and religion who predictably deep deep roots analytics as this is a suring us that everything is ok that that they were not hacked that this is this this unprotected information leak was was all due to an unexpected side effect from a settings change and that the information was only exposed in the cloud for like
7:31 am
you know just it's two weeks that's all just two weeks now and no big deal look the other way keep moving forward however vicary told the washington post that in the wrong hands this info could easily be abused saying quote with this data you can target neighborhoods individuals people of all sorts of persuasions i could give you the home address of every person in the r. and c. believes voted for trump remember remember it's the russians that we need to be really afraid of not not that our political parties are hiring private contractors to data mine sensitive private details of almost every registered voter in the united states to use for god knows what new new new new new new new it's the evil russians who are the threat to our security yeah that's the ticket. now let's start watching all. the. good looks
7:32 am
like. it's really. like you know what i got. was the watching the hawks. and having a wallace. all right while voter registration information just out for a world to see up on a cloud never going to get it's not a big bills only two weeks it's ok it's ok but everybody really could see it if they so chose to pound it if they were looking for a lot of hackers to kind of. looking for a secure information so i ask you guys you know feel free to jump in i ask you guys what is as i posed in the opening what is the bigger threat to the u.s.
7:33 am
citizen right now the democrat or republican parties or a foreign entity like because. we always anyone as sensible as any instinct and clinician of understand the world understands your greater threat always close it's always close at a little right and we know this obviously from not only surveillance and whatnot that it's been going on the conspiracy conspiracy analyst inside of me saying wait a minute we there's already an interesting relationship between facebook and the intelligence agencies because it's a great way of data mining people's personal information and here you are with. obviously now realizing that the g.o.p. is i'm sure the d.n.c. is doing the same thing is that of mining as much information about people as possible to understand you as a voter to understand your likes and dislikes and then partner and so he's saying well we sure this was just an accidental leak or is it maybe being put out there because it was given to some other third party. and they can be that utilize for even more information whether it be for merchandising marketing some kind of financial purposes because it's wonderful to have as much information about you as
7:34 am
possible to have you know there is a treasure trove of voter information at the i mean that's all that that's the only thing nobody cares about coal or mining for gold or actual resources i mean more the future is in diet mining of our personal data and then trying to figure out how we're going to react to it what we're going to do what kind of person we are and how then can i sell something to you whether it shampoo or a political party or a candidate and of course there's money in it because you want to get that money back so you can put it into advertising and when you're looking at the data for this thing it was kind of interesting because. some of the files actually assigned voters a score based on their views of forty six different issues ranging from immigration to trade so the data includes which voters are suspicious of wall street or pharmaceutical firms who who reluctantly voted for hillary clinton or who supports the affordable care act they go down all this one hundred seventy get go by it's
7:35 am
consisted of social media posts that were scraped from wait for it read it so this high class fabulous you know words like counter-strike they seem to be the republican version of counterstrike so with this best of the best in the whole world and what they were doing was scraping the bottom of reddit for information with those i can say though i mean it kind of frightens me that like so many registered voters are actually using the road to there was a man for whom this is your blood so. they wrote about it are doing is trying to equate humanity and quit your decisions by what you click on and that the problem is facebook only has a like button so if you want to keep an eye on something you're saying you like it the algorithms are stills so they're making guesses on what what we actually believe based on your social media. yes but the in the day we're looking at the most i would say this is the most divided divisive election we've seen in our his yeah not only in american history going back to eight hundred sixty with abraham
7:36 am
lincoln because literally in a place where people are are unfriending people because of voting for family and i mean families are yeah i mean there's a hey you know about what people just cutting entire family members out because they didn't. want to tell you about it we're just saying we're not going to i want to throw up to the heart of lord why i believe political parties are a bigger threat to this country than a foreign country and they came in this quote a veteran g.o.p. political data strategist. told the washington post a quote what is alarming about this now is that i believe it's the first time the r n c i.d.'s and model data have been exposed this is not just a list of people this is a unique this is unique proprietary information which gives away republican strategy forms of targeting and methodology digital notice that he kind of just didn't care at all about the fact that you know almost three hundred million innocent people's vote you know information was put on the world and he was more concerned about how it affected and how it leaked the strategy of the republican
7:37 am
party well that's the problem with the two parties they came more about the party than the actual people that they're trying to get votes for and doesn't sound awfully like you know what you get what you get i don't know that i care about what people like to call the day that things say no you can't know the truth we have to hide it because otherwise i don't know how we got it right you know how when why are you don't don't worry i'm going to target you and decide that you're not going to political watch list or any number of watch list like i was that i've heard for years if you don't want people to thank you and if areas don't do. a report. early sunday morning on june eighteenth seventeen year old now brown in virginia was reported missing when she disappeared after attending a late night ramadan prayer session at a local mosque where that sunday afternoon her body was discovered in this set in motion a media frenzy of speculation on why. he was killed was it a crime a rape victim or an act of terrorism now with twenty two year old darwin martinez torres arrested and charged with her death differently might be some answers to all
7:38 am
the speculation parties actually banks has more early sunday morning neighbor hans and then a muslim teenager was assaulted and killed while walking home from prayers out a mosque in northern virginia seventeen year old hoss and then was attending the all dulles area muslim society mosque which is considered to be the biggest mosque here in northern virginia during the last ten days of ramadan the mosque holds very late night prayers hoss and then and four other teens were returning home from one of such prayers early sunday morning when a tragic encounter took place fairfax county police put out a statement saying quote an investigation determined she was walking outside with a group of friends when they got into a dispute with a man in a car according to police twenty two year old darwin a martinez torres got out of his car and assaulted hossam and after the altercation her friends couldn't find her and called police for help at this point our detectives are going to put the case together as continue to build their case for court try to put pieces together
7:39 am
we'll get information from the medical examiner's report on what happened to her. if additional charges you know. are appropriate from that then we will pursue that and we're just here to help with the family so hans and the mother told the washington post i think it had to do with the way she was dressed and the fact that she's muslim why would you kill a kid what did my daughter do to deserve this a study done by the council on american islamic relations found anti muslim hate crime incidents rose in two thousand and fifteen and increasing greatly in twenty sixteen by forty four percent the muslim community is expecting action to come from the white house in order to prevent incidences like what happened in the case of possum not in fairfax county ashley banks r t. but what's really interesting about this is that you're also getting reports that this might not have been a. but all this might not have to do with religion that it might have ended up having to do with just you know bad place wrong. everybody ended up attacking or
7:40 am
you know i mean it could also be that so what i want to ask you guys is how dangerous is this kind of rampant media speculation you see around stories like this to bury you know when you're talking about some sort of crime where not all the facts are out but everyone is kind of spewing what they believe could be happening and what kind of world bizarre career the narrative at that venue there has to be debunked or proven and people will just if you speculate on my gosh it might have been message might have been this and the metric of the crime sort of always gets pushed aside why did a raging man after being angry a supposedly had a group of teens decide to grab the you know a girl put her in his car and take her he obviously had a reason and you know we then forget that here is a woman who is in you know wearing a huge job who for whatever reason seemed to be a target was it because she was a woman because it she was wearing hijab and she thought that she would be more
7:41 am
compliant or is that just a literally a moment of change right right i mean it's obviously there's always speculations human nature obviously you know you see a crime you want to speculate on the motivation that you know the girl you know that he raped her i mean a lot of there's a there's a reason there's no more reasons to speculate and there's no reason to say that you know it's a wrong to speculate it could have been a crime because certainly as you know she's dressed as a muslim it's certainly a rocket for certain people but either way they can undermine the fact that it's a terrible tragedy this girl was walking home in the middle of the day especially in the morning but it's not like she was out late you know in the streets pretty scary actually the fact a group of friends. is very scary and so that you know you can feel that it's as you said it's a man murdered woman maybe raping her in the process which is just a horrible crime well let me ask you this though let me let me pose this question. well this is do you agree with the concept of. because it is you know i mean murder is murder right we all murders murders so should we attach more punishment based on
7:42 am
you know the reasons in the person's brain as to why they murder beyond just the fact that the cold blooded killed somebody. i think that our that our laws are ready for rape alone and murders connected to rapes and sexual assaults is not nearly it's not nearly long enough and there's no reason that someone who has raped and killed or raped and left for a dad should should be looking ever getting out of prison and my opinion for any ever really quite frankly that's my personal opinion but i don't think the hate crime thing sort of really deals the situation i think it'll actually it's something we have to deal with it's not something a law or more time and president says you know the old will kill for any reason we're just making more of the i mean it's not out of the deal really they just go like a hate crime oh well i wish i would murder this person because i really don't like their skin color or their religious beliefs but i just because there's a hate crime was attached to it was not i mean i don't know of too many people who
7:43 am
reached the point of hatred and despond shim are going to hold back just because there's an added layer of law to it and i tend to agree with you on that. well as we go to break card watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered on facebook and twitter see our poll shows at r t dot com coming up the wallace brings us an in-depth and fascinating look at the world refugee day a member live has a new option i'm raising a few eyebrows to watch in the hall.
7:44 am
this talk about blackness and the blues of being black. and always well in a big house down any steps what i've been told but he surely did weigh in remains as such because we simply forgot i don't blame. the scene we've allowed them to rearrange outplaying you've told us the sickness of trusting our enemy we became defamed. that's what i call a lack of blackness or understanding the blues of being black. sheep the blues of being black should mandate that we attack knowing how when and what to do to come this simple in his natural as be black is simply to the feeling blue is black and blue. many. people with stories to tell our economy still so desire to.
7:45 am
our. kids to the nation so to speak. you see and this is. they're here to speak for you there to hear.
7:46 am
the first world refugee day took place on june twentieth two thousand and one the same year that the war on terror began in the seventeen years since a lot of has been made at the expense of those whose lives tenuously hang in the balance between diplomacy and politics refugees those people forced from their homes by persecution war and violence according to data collected by the united nations high commission on refugees and twenty sixteen there were over sixty five million people that were forcibly displaced around the world twenty two million were in refugee status ten million were totally stateless having no nation no citizenship anywhere and of all those people struggling to survive in
7:47 am
a war torn world only one hundred eighty nine thousand three hundred people were resettled in two thousand and sixteen where were they recited well if you watch the mainstream media you'd swear they were all going to europe in the united states but that isn't actually the case see europe takes in just seventeen percent of the world's displaced people with the americas that's north and south america taking in even less at sixteen percent the middle east takes in twenty six percent with africa leading by taking in thirty percent of displaced people in the world but what happens when countries decide the best that is to close their doors to refugees the european commission is now launching legal action against the countries of poland hungary and the czech republic forward fusing to abide by the twenty fifteen legally binding agreement between all you countries to help in the relocation of refugees according to the e.c. of the one hundred sixty thousand rep. to be relocated the czech republic has only taken in twelve that's not twelve thousand that's twelve while poland and hungary
7:48 am
have accepted zero refugees through the program which is what is most disturbing is that these countries have discovered that paying the fine for not taking in refugees as they agreed to is cheaper than letting in refugees despite the fact they get assistance for each refugee taken in this world where few g. day as politicians around the world argue that they are keeping their people safe by letting other people die at some point your ancestors were refugees displaced or strangers in a strange land you are here today because many in your family have run from oppression so you don't have to see or point me towards that point i was in standing rock a couple weekends back you know with that with the native tribes there and it's amazing you know a lot of anger still exists you know you will feel the pain and anger of the natives there and the conversation that we had and just sort of this very. clear
7:49 am
notion of the americas a time when all of the americas south america to north america it's all refugees because the native population in america it's like one percent i mean canada maybe it's a fifteen or twenty and mexico the war but the point is that you know we're all refugees here and yet we constantly ignore this fact and it's just it's mind boggling it is it is there and you wonder you know with the displaced people that you see today every one of the numbers that really struck me was ten million people without any country nothing they were nowhere to go home to and that's not a place to go to and that's that study that million people is almost the size of the you know that's bigger than most american cities you know you're talking about an entire city worth of people maybe two cities where the people just interstates or at the time started with we have nowhere to put you don't want to take you or we won't take you there is always there's a problem here even in the united states the. idea of taking in refugees has never set well according to polls you know where to go back and you know they don't want
7:50 am
to take in jewish refugees. and the irish and the italians they have been puerto ricans i mean you know it hasn't always been and they've never it's always been over fifty percent at any time in history is no no no despite the fact that. we were if you if your family game area we're probably a refugee and this country was built on people who are trying to get away from oppression trying to start a new life trying to find a new home trying to be part of a different nation. or forced to come here because they felt they were. a less right if they were located refugees and they really were saying you are supporting the relocated refugees you know it's an interesting conundrum that the world is that i mean fifty five percent of refugees in this world are not coming from the salt syria. places the united states is actively performing a lethal military actions about so that's a staggering number one you see and you know we're turning our back on refugees or you know claiming that we're going to war you know you look at the amount of
7:51 am
weapons and the amount of where we've dropped bombs that's where a lot of refugees are coming from because it's not about humanitarian efforts i'm really tired so i just have to weigh. in this is not a sudden tomahawk missiles into syria and dropping bombs and putting drones everywhere and shooting down planes it's not about humanitarian reasons it's not you that's just that is a bold faced lie and that's you know that's what the interesting thing of these stories is that so angry in poland most people in these countries they're proud to say we don't but if you said that's what you know terror attacks right but meanwhile you're looking at places like libya that were destroyed my argument or an intervention and then we were before heard the reports about the state department issuing passports to expedite certain people to go to europe or to of the americas but these probably are working these people that are be expedited are working for intelligence they're going to. basically the four networks they were protecting because it's too difficult to go through to an i.p.o. process since they're expediting it which is really the thing that the terrorists
7:52 am
are going to come in through the magical you know easy refugee program it's not it's not immediate is the least likely way that any terrorist and try to get enough credit or arm it is much more as they put armies of boeing easier to take us. through all those numbers are you ok eighty four percent of refugees are in developing countries while the countries that account for fifty seven percent of the global g.d.p. gross domestic product holds fewer than ninety percent of all refugees and asylum seekers so now you see oh well why the been there are two words like there you break it down the understanding of simply here's the rich neighborhood the originator hood stealing money from the poor neighborhood doesn't allow anyone from a poor neighborhood to come into the rich neighborhood at the end of the day and so will go rape and pillage and will steal the resources from a lot of these poor countries and displace a lot of these people through our war time international terrorism but no we're not going to really let you wear it you know we'll just let you kind of mingle about down below and what's the point of showing off this american exceptionalism if
7:53 am
you're not going to understand that it's going to make people want to come carol good point i don't get it we're amazing it's so great here if you come in my memory is the best place to be when you can't come in here what are you twelve it just seems like a very childish notion and you know just to kind of for the show off the statistics twenty sixteen the highest number of refugees from any nation you would think syria that's all that was splattered all across the news actually was the democratic republic of congo congo accounted for sixteen thousand three hundred seventy refugees then syria twelve then burma iraq somalia and over the past decade the largest number of refugees that actually come from burma and iraq burma fifty one hundred fifty sixty iraq one hundred thirty five of those congo has had a civil war for years millions have died and no one talks about it because guess what it's not right next to the oil center of the middle east so it's. as exciting or are newscasters to focus on when the military industrial complex can make that much money off of it apparently there's not as much to. what there yet let it be
7:54 am
we're not there they've got a plan there's a business plan around all this about the you know it's going to say one quick quote by former secretary general of the un a nobel peace prize winner kofi anon he wrote a piece called why are only poor countries taking refugees. and time magazine and he says around the world the plight of the operated is also driving thousands of acts of solidarity from the ugandan farmer sharing their land with the refugees fleeing famine and violence in south sudan to the canadian communities offering a lifeline for sponsored resettlement programs to the teachers employers athletes faith groups and volunteers working to foster the inclusion of refugees in the social economic and cultural lives of their communities it is their voices the voices of compassion and humanity that often struggle to make themselves heard that should guide our call for action this world refugee day great great great sort of.
7:55 am
silicon valley has made its bones finding solutions to some of the world's biggest problems and lift has just blown the doors off of a major transportation issue one apparently no one has ever tried to address before see its new service is called live shuttle and it started trial runs in san francisco so what is that well it's a fixed route shuttle service much like ride sharing but with lower fixed prices and operates only taking place during high traffic commuter times and that is that's. that's that's because what i'm describing is known as a bus service buses and they were first introduced not by way of but by blaise pascal and paris around those sixty and sixty two of course well if this really offering is a bus service minus the inconvenience of having to sit next to poor people have to use public. what should i do i know this well i know this because we use live shuttles only operate between wealthy neighborhoods. tack making sure the poor
7:56 am
is remember that while we're all struggling those with a little more shouldn't have to be or might get there is crazy how the heck do you reinvent the bus service and be a good world were given us we were taken to people from this location bringing them they already were going to bring them to this location over here they're all going to get out of our one road but it's a bus service we're going through wealthy neighborhood wealthy neighborhood is it just for the people like servants they've been helpers of so well it's all right i'm going to take people from there with their rich working neighborhoods where there's a nice galvanised. but there still isn't just the justice you know to take a regular route i think it's not cheap enough to just drop. a body part time wasters knew what was the bottom even better i liked that like five bucks there were about you know sometimes those that moment were. like overthinking the idea you want to everybody wants to reinvent the wheel go the better mousetrap women for giving them what we already have
7:57 am
a mousetrap with or do you have with your whole yeah it's not a look i mean i would give credit to any innovative coming along saying look the efficiency of bus services is not to say that efficient there's certain routes that don't necessarily provide for my needs and if this service works more power to him yeah because privileged people need more things to get this is the problem though if you can afford a little better then you don't bother which is why our public transportation system stops because we're in new york where more people i think it evolved so much better because everyone used to it whether you lived on fifth avenue or you lived in the bronx new york city subway system everybody uses that or everybody use it's the sort of. you know commonality between people in new york and certain places and and in europe here we're like well ultimately you have a car that means you're good if you're on the boss you're just poor and it's not as bad as opposed to just good if we want to roll it out. well really the right thing it would be i get worried about those are my point is that a very straight route potentially more diverse workers aren't. exactly.
7:58 am
the first us but it's all right you know sort of throw it out there remember everyone remembers world we're not told. you all i love you i am tired of it all as . i keep on watching another great night of. social environment. right with. chemical discoveries over the last century made every day life easier but at what cost this is cereal is exceptionally sick. no wonder it's confidential. says since the years old industrial
7:59 am
giants reap the benefit. caused by chemical production. you know as if these people aren't people just experimental animals decades later the toxic environment continues to poison lives and we found these astronomically high levels of dioxin levels that my staff think maybe some of the highest levels ever found in the united states for almost thirty years this very serious problem had not actually been addressed what will that investigation into the chemical industry secrets revealed. this despicable.
