a t.n.t. or horizon don't get to choose which data is more quickly and which sites get blocked or throttled based on which content providers pay a premium the forty four year old pie clearly not as a deal but definitely a government bureaucrat and more importantly former lawyer for telecom giant horizon is strongly against the regulations and has called the concerns that inspired them hypothetical harms and hysterical prophecies of doing so with netflix amazon facebook and thousands upon thousands of others protesting and pie in the telecom boys standing firm there is nothing neutral about the internet today and you know that means it's time to start watching the hawks. it looks like. it's really. easy to get out of it.

like you know that i got. this. week so. well for the watching the paul talks i am i robot and i'm talking about it right now net neutrality i firmly been having this conversation for a decade we have at least the last two three years at least let's listen later i saw nothing on the on the internet of things where people have been talking about upon us people kind of looked out and says oh it's just the nerds on the internet talking about this scary thing that's going to come for all their freedom but what's interesting is that it's kind of moved beyond just the nerves of the owner of talking about scary news like it's because like i think i remember when this came down the pipeline when obama was present a lot of people spoke up and said no no we are not neutral. we don't want telegrams

service providers controlling you know making us pay high premiums to be able to actually have fast internet for our websites and our and our right and all but you know so it's a lot of business going to fight and some forty four year old german body charge of the f.c.c. boy to use you as go to to got a new trial which is where does the same five going to go it doesn't really understand the internet or things or p.c.r. or i think he just he comes off as someone who has does not understand how the internet works what it is maybe he thinks it's too i don't know but either way it just seems sort of where it's a day of action that you talked about the july twelfth day of action is a pretty among the companies taking part there's twitter there is amazon facebook google reddit. netflix air b.n. b. and spotify all things that are used a lot and i'm sure as a corporation they don't want to have to pay extra just so that they are customers

can get equal service but the sites are planning to what they're going to do is show messages on their home page speaking out against the absolute plan and there was a protest here in d.c. . r t caught up with gloria tristan ian is the former f.c.c. commissioner roger bill clinton and she talked about why the internet and net neutrality is so important take a listen. the internet has become integral to everything we do and whether it's to communicate with our congressmen or city government whether it's to get government benefits whether it's to organize. it has become the modern public square we were used to go to that we still do go to the squares to voices be heard the public square is now. couldn't couldn't agree with the former of cities. the commissioner more and up

think that's where the heart of this issue really lives is that the internet should be the last bastion of freedom now that bad last frontier that we have we can't throw any further out west and. you know the internet needs to be the last bastion of free thought free enterprise all of these things and you know the telecoms are are are going in hollering and saying you know this is and this isn't what you think it is we will maintain net neutrality we just don't want to be governed by it i want to read you this quote very quickly to all of this pertains a lot to a specific part of the open internet or region is called title to the establish the broadband should be a particularly regulated service by the government that i espied you know the government should regulate them and i a species were required to maintain internet connections at a certain speed for everybody from the mom and pop internet site to the big huge corporate conglomerate like a facebook or netflix comcast. senior vice executive vice president david cohen

stated while some tried to conflate the two issues title to a net neutrality are not the same title two as a source of authority to impose and forcible net neutrality rules getting rid of title two does not mean that we are repealing net neutrality protections for american consumers tablet do you trust the io speeds that they will keep met neutrality if you take away the guards not even close. i know this is a joke it's got to be a joke or they're so incompetent that they can't even see that because what are you saying as well no what i'm getting rid of the rules we're just getting rid of the entire department and mechanisms in which to enforce those rules oh great there was also funny is the double standard because most of these are republicans and conservatives who want smaller government but what they want is more regulation like the one many you want more regulation when you want rest now all of a sudden they want to tax the internet. they want to put all these things on their

i mean that's ludicrous you're saying we don't want anybody taking care of looking at what we do but we also have the rules so we'll just do what our hero reminds me a lot of where the big banks were fighting against like glass steagall oh you mean a free market economy. in the way of. the big burgs came in and that's exactly what they got congress to overturn it was the woman ran wild enough so we got the two thousand a crush i don't want to see the same thing happen online with the iowa species if we remove neutrality because guess what you can't trust them but the of the they don't have the track record of trust anybody who's dealt with them over a cable bill can tell you that much. the electronic frontier foundation has put out its seventh annual who has your back report on online service providers privacy and transparency practices regarding government access to user data and while some major providers are participating in the net neutrality

protests like a t. and t. those same companies are actually fans of the f.c.c. is net neutrality rules in the first place and according to the report in twenty sixteen the united states government sent at least forty nine thousand eight hundred and sixty eight requests to facebook for user data in the same time period it sent twenty seven over twenty seven thousand requests to google and over nine thousand to apple and these companies are alone were used or seen new communities to communicate and store data law enforcement agencies see new avenues for surveillance but while some companies are looking out for consumers when it comes to handing over their data to the government others seem to be playing both sides of this debate and even says the report points out three safeguards in place to keep your data from ending up in government databases fair technology law and corporate policies now this report focuses on law and corporate policies the criteria they use covers five major areas in internet privacy first does the company follow industrywide best. as dave says such as publishing law enforcement

guidelines require a warrant to disclose user data and most importantly publishing a transparency report for their users second does the company tell users about their government data requests for their requests for their data as allowed by law third do they promise not to use or see this criteria was inspired by twitter's new policy that keeps twitter app developers from creating tools that would be utilized by the government for surveillance for those the companies stand up to the national security letter gag orders now these gag orders are these administrative subpoenas used to gather national security information does not require approval from a judge and recipients aren't even allowed to discuss that they even receive the letter and finally the fifth criteria looks at the company has a pro user public policy in relation to section seven hundred two of the amendments act is what allowed mass surveillance and data collection to millions of innocent americans so who rose above and who left you hanging well the head of the

class with five stars is adobe who does creative software services credo mobile known as the photo cell phone company that supports charity dropbox right here apple lift pinterest sonic a consumer software and audio company wicker and word press the blogging site coming in at four stars was american tech giant apple who lost one star because they have not called for reforms of the section seven to fit the no of course you have facebook google linked in microsoft yahoo and work messaging system slack in the middle with three stars is air b. and b. snaps the company behind snap chat tumblr and twitter but. it's those one and two stars that should truly make you second guessed who reconsider who your provider is see amazon and whatsapp came in with only two stars amazon while convenient c. doesn't tell years about government data requests it doesn't promise not to sell you out and they don't stand up to n.f.l. gag orders which isn't a huge surprise considering how many hundreds of millions of dollars in business

amazon does with the fleet but most importantly are those coming in at just one tiny itty bitty star they are eighty comcast t. mobile and varieties that that's the very people handling most of our data services so you can avoid that amazon app or switch to a new messenger but if the data provider doesn't have your back does that matter look this this shouldn't be a surprise comcast and derive an actively lobby against pretty much all net neutrality rules and t. mobile has been pretty public in its fighting with the electronic frontier foundation over privacy rights so as a consumer we now can't just decide make it for our choices by the quality of the service itself but by how seriously they take their responsibility to their customers because keeping the internet the last bastion of actual speech truly free and constitutional is of utmost importance because your cell phone provider could

decide what happens to your private data instead of protecting it and your rights what are you really providing you with anything at all or you just growing the crop they will sell it market and what we have to ask is are you ok with both i think no i think it's incredible to me that you know we just good done talking about the telecoms and then you find out recording the electronic frontier foundation that there are some of the worst worst worst bottom of the barrel of predators who are going to go after the handing over all of your privacy to the government whether justified or not but it's ridiculous to be i think terrible that you brought up a brilliant point. yeah you can change the you know you can go from you know a t. mobile to a credo you can do something like. ultimately a backbone you know your service is ultimately going to get you know some top of the privacy it doesn't matter what i write so that's the thing when you look at the

bottom of the barrel for their report it's all these these are internet service providers their cell providers they are the people providing internet in people's homes on their cell phone all that data service so of course they need to be the number one people protecting our rights and they're not this is what they're saying over and over and that's what you see for t.v. they're all into this going on that neutrality but at the same time all of the things that are sort of tied up in internet privacy and our freedoms online are what they're pushing against they're lobbying for corporations so those are the we make the crop which is content which is talking our lives you know and they advertise on that on that show of our lives so we just have to. take a little bit of time to really look at what they do on the back when we also have to hold store olding our governments accountable for this kind of massive intrusive surveillance you know and then we need and in order to help us do that we alone as a people can do that we also need our businesses are supposedly you know private businesses to also stand up and say hey the people that pay us money have

a little bit more of a say in what should happen to their privacy you know and their ongoing online and their data than the government should right now and we need that back up right there absolutely are important as we go to break watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topic you cover the facebook and twitter see our poll shows that are coming up investigative journalist and author michelle mcphee for the hawk's nest to discuss her new book maximum harm the start of brothers the f.b.i. and the road to the. what new twist to this tragedy that she uncovered day to watch for.

is still exist. ricos treated as one. point zero three cool as you know and i knew a lot of seats and they could be seen on the island is controlled by the u.s. government and some crave independence. even. still many do wish to join. us hundreds more leave every day. in time along. with the country at a crossroads and go over the island is on the rise. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the us actually it's full on. the only show i go out of my

way to find you know what it is that really packs a punch. yeah it is the john oliver of marty americans do the same we are apparently better than that and see people you've never heard of love right down to the night and president of the world bank very. seriously send us an e-mail. all too often many of history's deadliest and most tragic episodes remain mysteries for years if not decades to come and almost always you find the most on answered questions at the intersection of crime and government such as the case of tamar lame and dzhokhar the brothers behind the horrific boston marathon bombing of two thousand and thirteen perhaps the poster boy for what happens when all the warning

signs fall through the cracks people were shocked to find out the tamar lane had already been on the f.b.i.'s radar for quite a while and to add the ultimate plot twist it had been the much maligned russian federer federal security service that rang the loudest alarms that went ignored or were they to answer some of those questions we are joined by investigative journalist michelle mcphee author of maximum harm those are half brothers the f.b.i. on the road to the marathon bombing welcome michel. it's great to be here with you is a pleasure now i think by now we'll jump right in most of us have kind of heard the of the official timeline regarding the boston bombers their backgrounds in the advance leading up to the attack of the baron the boston marathon but but one thing i want to ask you is is there more to time one that's been left out you know what in your research what's the most glaring omission in the official story their timeline. well what was interesting to me is on the night that mit police officer

sean collier was assassinated in cold blood the f.b.i. had been seen all over cambridge massachusetts as a matter of fact the book opens with a remark made by a cambridge police official who said these you know mother bleepers are here and that's because the cameras police are getting nine one one calls about suspicious vehicles in and around the area of where that we would later learn is and i have lived so the big question became right away for local law enforcement is what was the feds doing there and what did they know about these brothers before these photos were released now remember sean collier was assassinated on april eighteenth and that was within hours of the f.b.i. releasing the photos of suspect black hat and suspect white hat so right away it smacked of the feds knew something about this and i have brothers that they weren't sharing with local law enforcement and why well if you go back into the history of how these brothers got into the country you take a look at this and i have klan came in to the united states via ancora turkey

who was the cia station chief in accra turkey at the time well it was a guy whose son in law was handling and dzhokhar is uncle so when you start looking and you pulled the string it just seemed like there were all these connections to federal agencies and the entire is and i have family from the minute they arrived into the country in two thousand and two well they're always there does this this story has always had some very strange connections to law enforcement in your book you explore that the f.b.i. has prior connections with tamar land and how his extremism may have been fueled by that experience do you do you think of what you found in the book that we need to reassess our counterterrorism methods in these these infiltration programs that seem to keep. ending play to be surprised that you can be surprisingly i think the answer is no i think that it's a highly effective tool it was started under the n.y.p.d. . shortly after nine eleven i was in new york daily news police bureau chief in

chief on nine eleven and in the aftermath of that tragedy where two thousand nine hundred and seventy six people were killed in those towers we know that we needed to find new strategies and one of those strategies was created by the former commissioner ray kelly and he came up with an idea for the terrorist interdiction unit and what that did was recruit muslims who took the civil service test and put them through training much like the training the cia office officers got in at langley and they went undercover and those people have forded quite a few cases we know that the you know counterterrorism officials need these informants to take down a lot of these cases turning these informants isn't a problem the problem is once one of these guys goes rogue like i believe him one that i have did then that should be said accountability there should be some truth telling but to this day the f.b.i. has steadfastly refused not only to cooperate with lawful for your requests but remember michael mccall who is the republican chairman of the department of the

committee on homeland security and bill keating his congressional counterpart who's a democrat from massachusetts both were apoplectic at the total lack of regard the f.b.i. showed not just to american citizens but to congress over and over and over again they ignored congressional subpoenas that's what's interesting and you bring up an interesting thing about the f.b.i. there because you know dzhokhar while appealing his death sentence has been under what's called special administrative measures these essentially prevent inmates from giving interviews to the press and make it very difficult want to talk to anybody at all even their own lawyers yeah now the official reasoning behind these measures are to hypothetically prevent terrorists and mobsters from continuing their work from behind bars but if the f.b.i. says the brothers were part of a larger terror network why is the government someone attempts of. keeping dzhokhar quiet behind bars or not letting him you know talk more. well i think the defense

attorneys is new defense team who are right now appealing his death penalty conviction they asked the question very pointedly in court documents why is so much of this case still under seal and why are there so many classified documents there are so many classified documents the most recent docket dated just last month on june twenty sixth talked about having to put several classified information security specialists in charge of making sure that the information in this case is not lead to people like me and answers are not in any way given to people who are who are seeking them so when the lawyers can't get access to classified intelligence or to seal documents in the case that's already been adjudicated he's already been sentenced to death every has more questions than answers truly what me ask you what do you believe the government the f.b.i. is hiding in your research what what do you believe is this kind of major thing that they're like we can't let anyone know about this. well look i covered the

whitey bulger trial i'm from boston and we all know that the f.b.i. for twenty years steadfastly steadfastly denied that whitey bulger the brother of a high ranking massachusetts politician the speaker of the house formally was in fact a f.b.i. informant and that f.b.i. informant had been given a free pass to to kill people here in boston and elsewhere and in florida it was a complete debacle so there's not a lot of love lost between the f.b.i. and local law enforcement in boston anyhow but what i really believe is that. tamarins and i have clearly had a relationship with and you can't even say for sure if it was the f.b.i. the cia if it was apartment homeland security drug enforcement squad what we do know for sure is that tomlinson i was on two separate tamil terror watch lists you mentioned in the intro that the f.s.b. the the much maligned f.s.b. warned americans not once but twice in march of two thousand and eleven the f.b.i.

in boston received a letter v. via its legal attache in moscow say look we've intercepted some text messages between tantalums and ivan a canadian citizen who join the jihad named william plotnikov we have concern that this guy who lives in cambridge massachusetts is going to come to russia and join the jihad that letter according to the f.b.i. led them to go out say hey tamlyn what's up they decided nothing was wrong with what family was up to and they forgot about it the f.s.b. sent a second letter this time to the cia in the united states and september of two thousand and eleven saying look we have intercepted text messages between tamil and his crazy mother zubaydah that and zubaydah it's cousin who was the leader of a group of jihadi sympathizers in the northern caucasus called the union of the just we think that camels and i was going to try travel to russia and join up with these terrorist forces well what happened in january of two thousand and twelve channels and i've traveled to russia and joined up with these terrorism forces will

only oddly every one that families and i have met up with was tracked and killed by counterterrorism officials in russia in fact the man he had been chatting with that prompted the march twentieth seven warning to the f.b.i. was murder was killed in a raid by counterterrorism officials in july and channels and i have in the words of congressman bill keating from massachusetts beat feet right out of russia and came right back to the united states and despite the fact that he was on two separate terawatts was he breeze right through customs of boston's logan airport without an issue. so there that raises a number of questions number one i covered nine eleven i was there i covered the awful aftermath for a very long time and i've actually read the nine eleven commission report and i've read the follow up nine eleven and terrorism travel one of the major loopholes that the commissioners in that report pointed out and said we must close immediately as allowing people who get political asylum who are given

a green card and allowed to come into the united states we have to stop the practice and letting them travel freely back to terrorist profits so not only families and i have not have a passport he was going to chair a watch list he goes to a terrorist every one he's around is tracked and killed by actually there in the first. day was all it's truly truly incredible and i think definitely definitely people need to go and check out your maximum harm the brothers the f.b.i. and the road to the marathon bombing thank you so much for coming on today truly truly fascinating little texas. thank you so much. eighty one years ago american aviation pioneer and national hero amelia mary earhart's plane crashed and she was presumed dead after attempting to circumvent the globe in one nine hundred thirty seven but a recent history channel special made major waves across the mainstream media and beyond because it claimed to have new air refutable proof that earhart didn't die in the crash at all the evidence you see was indeed classified photographs found in

a box belonging to the office of naval intelligence the filmmakers claimed it showed earhart her navigator fred noonan and the ship that allegedly rescued them docked in the marshall islands sadly despite millions of dollars of the resources to a double check the claim it only took a japanese blogger thirty minutes of online research to debunk the entire theory is see it turns out that the picture was a rigid only published in a travel book published for a new program in one thousand and thirty five years before earhart even set out on her final flight it has no connection to a famous wire out all so remember before you decide to call you mir you sold a mere century old mystery maybe try googling your have the did that always helps all right that is our show for you to bear and remember going in this world we're not told beloved enough so i tell you all i love you i am tyrone but i'm top of the

volleyball and watching those arcs another great barrier. by the observed events of the past two years of those myself several times what's going on in my native germany. really risk you jeanne. u.s. intelligence agencies indiscriminately listening in on german citizens of the government. and once again german to exhibit east. asians from various political parties and various independent experts and journalists in an effort to understand just how independent germany really is when it comes to decision making. whether it acts on its own national interests. someone else will.

be a. little. bit. on the. by then got a session on their own. by then is a shift that on. all of us cannot is said and. done more. so. than you know so it was if you have the multiple injuries among current not to soak them to yourself you hope the above shows your your mars on the phone to the book

on the if you can book a political social services say yes but i'm going to put in a moral sense of what my. own i'm a bit of nothing. something to work. on long enough something. a little huddles look ma. no nothing now maybe i maybe i'm a bit forward after. not .

eat. credit is one of the basic instruments to drive an economy but it can also lead to tragedy i did i took the whole gist i came to god and meant that the text i came and it was fire not. many lives have been broken like excessive debt the banks got you into trouble and all the big bankers got big. think on the government by the banks but i just didn't think of the ordinary men who. lost money so as a back under don't buy creditors people seen no future bad face would have become ill to job your relationship breaks down you become a casualty is dead a life long trip or is there

a way out i was actually going to bed would write code to ditch bill for. a few more. the. u.s. military has warned about the. terrorist threat. in. america. despite increasing. calls. the u.s. . needs.
