4:31 am
a capacity as secretary and there has been some delay in that with the want to but it will be interesting to see what their recommendations will be mate what i would like to say is that a family shouldn't have to be going through this sucked in two thousand and seventeen now our next guest specializes in why there are so many hundreds of millions of socio economic victim struggling in this world from your liberal austerity hit britain to the entire developing world where nato nations continue to funnel weapons here is what john perkins said in his infamous book on neo liberalism confessions of an economic hit man about the life link to the i.m.f. and world bank courtesy of studio joe and we identify a country that has resources our corporations cut like around a range of huge loan to their country from the world bank or one of its sisters the money never actually goes to the country it goes to our own corporations to build the infrastructure trying to help you very wealthy people well joining me now is
4:32 am
the former economic hitman john perkins who's in washington state in the united states john thanks so much for coming on going underground i understand you were at the st petersburg economic summit just recently how well do other global economics play is understand the issues illuminated by you in that book which is some years old confessions of an economic well i was really interested to hear that it was not run on time with president putin's top economic advisor couldn't itself was there also speaking of this new forum i was the new at and it was very interesting to me to hear that they read the book very instant rather how to say of course and for me i was most interested in hearing president putin keep trying to defer conversations about whether it be russia was spying on the united states and influencing elections he said of course we spiral you know that you spy on us you and your allies you you've admitted to hacking the german chancellor it's not. but let's let
4:33 am
out president putin said that he'd read the books those in power in russia are quite aware of the kind of allegations you make which is that the i.m.f. and the u.s. military operate in tandem to destroy the livelihoods of millions of people on the left yeah i'm sure they understand it very well after all putin was in the k.g.b. as i'm sure he has he's very familiar with that but you know he kept trying to return the subject he said to what's really impacting all of us on the planet americans chinese britons and russians and that is global warming terrorism and income inequality speaking to you here from britain what. you see is the impact of bricks it for britain can britain get away from the hold of the corporatocracy by exiting the european union well i think that's a step in that direction process play hopefully it will serve notice on on the european union i think the whole brics of thing and i just also after russia i was in cowes it's not and italy you know and i'm just on my way to latin american in
4:34 am
about a week you know what we see all over the world is desperation people who are very unhappy who are very disappointed in their governments in the united states we saw it as expressed on the far left by the popularity of sanders and on the far right by the popularity of trump and then there was hillary in the middle who didn't do too well and what we're seeing everywhere is desperation and dissatisfaction and england you express that through bricks that the italians are expressing it the greeks are expressing you know the spaniards are actually i mean it's it's all over the world that we're seeing that people understand that we're living on a fragile space station and our leaders have been heading toward disaster and we need to change that and people may not express it quite like that but they're feeling that they're feeling that the influence of the corporatocracy the fact that about eight individuals have as much wealth as half the world's population they know that this is a failing system what i call a death economy an economic system that's. strong it's out and we need to do
4:35 am
something to change it before you turn you will link to all the some of the institutions that come under the most fire i mean how much power i say with jeremy colby and if he became prime minister before the bookies favored here in britain how of brecht's that wouldn't be. retrenchment by those powerful corporate interests even in the face of threats you know i think you have to recognize that it's the big corporations that run the world and we really have a new world empire but it's a corporate empire and they're not united it's not some great conspiracy on the part of all these corporate leaders but they also have one goal which was really brought to into the public light in one hundred seventy six when milton friedman won the nobel prize the goal of maximizing short term profits for a few wealthy people regardless of the social and environmental costs i think it's important for us to understand that they only survive and thrive because your
4:36 am
listeners buy from them invest in the work for their own women run them and ultimately we have to understand that we're not victims that we have to take the reins and turn this whole system around that sealing us on a global scale if he were in britain politicians still defend even the nato bombing of libya obviously thousands of drowning maybe today on the news who was in libya macro many leko in the past twenty four hours meeting the two of the leaders of the three governments now fighting in what was what was once africa's richest half of the country how does that fit in with your thesis in your book the libyan intervention supported by uprising as a tradesman you know it shows that what we did in libya what we did in iraq with saddam hussein we overthrow these obviously brutal dictatorial leaders to some degree but the but the kind is a much worse off without them it was interesting to me that to. said at the
4:37 am
conference that i was at with him that he does not support assad in syria he supports a stable government and assad does that at this point and i found it very interesting because you know if we overthrow assad what do we get what happened in libya it was it was it was a catastrophe and also in iraq we see this over and over and over again a lot of these things i think are done not just because of oil but because war makes a lot of money for a few people the war machine the industrial business it makes a tremendous amount of money here in the united states and throughout europe and russia and many other places it's big business to have a war or the threat of war and i think that's one of the reasons that these things happen there's also resources that we're going to have to be on the resources it's a whole economic system trump has said in the past few days is going to stop obama's cia covert funding of a so-called rebels in syria did it surprise even you the lengths to which countries
4:38 am
like britain would support ice if they asked a fact that an al qaeda factor linked groups in syria to overthrow. i would like to say it's a price. but given the fact that business makes so much money and the cia made itself makes a lot of money off these things you know i've watched over the years where we saw it with the opium wars in in britain and that in india that people put movie high many many years ago and we saw in the golden triangle in vietnam and we saw in colombia now in mexico we see throughout the world the cia makes a lot of money off of it is that are considered illegal because they can't get funding for a lot of the things in the u.s. congress so these agencies there's a lot of rogue people in these agencies to i'm not saying it's their fishel policy but a lot of things go on and so the whole isis war and supporting isis and supporting those groups that oppose isis and may ultimately become our enemies has a very very long history and let's face it it makes a lot of money venezuela has the largest not all results on the planet you're going to go to latin america you just said what do you think of this threat from trump of
4:39 am
swift sanctions aggressive sanctions if the people of venezuela vote in a way not compatible with. how washington wants venezuela to prosper well trump says a lot of things and doesn't follow through on many of them so who knows what would really happen but let's face it i mean them as well as a total mouse it's a very very senate state of affairs you know wasn't going to who had been as well had the largest middle class in latin america now but it's it's just gone to it's just taken you know nosedive and their economic hit men there of course. and i'm not sure what they're doing these days exactly who they're supporting but you can bet that they're in there trying to support or other interests and especially with all the things that are going on in the middle east a lot of our own companies are very dependent. or see the future dependency to be on those willing oil just finally we had the christine the god convicted as i
4:40 am
understand it as you know sentence for a deal on. negotiate go ahead of the i.m.f. now talking about moving the headquarters of the i.m.f. from washington to to beijing is like i have some got a sick joke as far as you see it or what it would if we're talking about well i think it's a recognition of the incredible financial power that china has the same with bricks and the in the asian bank and incredible things that are going on so you know after detente one hundred ninety one the i.m.f. and the world bank really control the world's financing development agencies and that put them in a very powerful position and i don't have any competition now their competition and it's coming from china and china is aligning with brazil and russia and india and saying and. south africa and other countries and good is bought on to the whole system and so i'm sure that christine feels very threatened the i.m.f. the world bank are threatened they're suddenly no longer in this super power
4:41 am
position and so she's undoubtedly looking at alternatives it would be very interesting to see what would happen if she did move to china and i think it reflects the fact that we're in very very confused times our leaders are understanding that people around the world are just satisfied every where people are dissatisfied with the current system they're looking for us to convert micro death economy into a life economy i read a lot about that in my blogs and newsletter and since we need to move into a whole different global system that cleans up pollution and regenerates destroyed environments and recycles and uses new technologies that don't rip the earth. off a brick a rock and a hard place we speak to the artists and activists fighting to stop the privatization of property from the headlines discover that stella plotted for a basic. socialism that a next generation all the civil coming up ought to a going of the ground.
4:42 am
it's a very rough terrain you sort of climb out of and you have to fight to be able to land. it was. very fresh what happened. when you see everybody in the children is ready to participate in the good. old. you don't think about these soldiers on the. streets like. in other patients.
4:43 am
welcome back in the past twenty four hours survivors and local residents mit with a judge appointed by u.k. prime minister theresa may to oversee an inquiry into the grand felt our inferno which underscored the issues of austerity inequality and injustice right across britain the judge chosen by to resume was instantly regarded as controversial when it was revealed that martin more big previous cases included allowing a local london council forcibly tenants fifty miles away the a walk and they hold to place exhibition currently at the v three gallery in london's waterloo explores the displacement of communities and the privatisation of publicly owned land and buildings in britain deputy editor sebastian packer went to speak to some of the artists and activists u.k. government funded social housing it's been
4:44 am
a ninety seven percent since theresa may went to government this is led to the number of homeless children living in. temporary accommodation rising by forty percent. claim it's too expensive to modernize already standing properties but the residents of the states like the south london believe they are being all styles it's a pave the way for privatization and gentrification of the areas that they call home i went to the rock and a hard place exhibition in london speech three gallery in waterloo to speak to all in crates just. what inspired him to put the project together hagar estate was one of the places that was going to be developed and i watched and kind of read up on what was happening there and there were a few tenants holding on to their flats not accepting the minimal money they were offered to be relocated and these are lease holders these are people that and then been told after having that they can no longer live there regeneration
4:45 am
intensification and all these different kind of housing issues. to everyone and if you live in the city you can't not be aware of what's going on because developments everywhere so this is we put the word out a lot back and it was just about having the right kind of in the show that we're doing things in their own very individual way. jamie browne and. other pieces that they were exhibiting. i came across this site in north london in finchley an interesting time of being condemned and before it was to be demolished and it was a really beautiful piece of land really beautiful sight for ten years and been moved on by now i've been a victim two or compulsory purchase order or one of the two. and it was incredibly peaceful lot of trees
4:46 am
a lot of green space. and you could kind to see from the divel. why they threw all we can maximize how many people we can fit in here how much rent we can get from the space craft. to create a physical monopoly house out of a. building that was going to be demolished seems like a simple and powerful way to. show how some develop first see people's homes and see ceilings. and on america's peaks hurting its health three generations of a family unit feeling the effects of change should lump them in looking not an educationist like it's more about he want to he want to say that all who are coming in are why isn't he want to quit and that way we can't help but notice in that is. really why i love community for the best elsewhere because that i for carpets means
4:47 am
that whether or not they're going to be living as a home so it's by in being a time when i thought it was this. conway's i guess it was very much. a trip to the black communities and. from there it's a generator and be better for the council they will be the consequence to me about and know how to help those people that can have higher like they couldn't rent space can increase the price of the house they can. buy dinner with the coffee shops in one of the is it wrong that creates this new community that ever wanted to talk about but then do not question what was there before to bring in money that didn't make it and tried to fit in the sense kept these communities very close that could move into it. out fair not understanding that these people are human themselves so somebody important for me and i didn't work on this it was that how
4:48 am
can he know it's those who he thought like brian want to get on with this and put him in the back and told that the. unproven and they don't exist but how can we offer them i want to simply give them a voice but i offer them apart from to be heard by the same people who possibly. like pushing up which is why it's quite important for us to be able to exhibit in the space like this where it's got to be space and like the fact that some people do anything about it generation of course you ask my words it's really important to have these spaces like this complacent in these spaces because it's equally paul of the politicos to be part of the solution just virtually are two cameras to show the homes of residents living in the states we are being a new technology seem like the perfect solution to some way as a person an exhibition straight into the living rooms of someone's home. and thankfully iceland and victoria to people who are currently living in the history
4:49 am
of stay and facing a force of fiction further down the line allowed me to come in and shoot in. you'll see just how. lovely and spacious and clean beautiful in full or like they really are you know these these these homes are their pride and joy i also residents i sent dennis to victoria brighton what they thought of the piece it's it is important because we need to reach to the side of the so site a different level to society to people can see and understand and also show we interned in our homes because always to make the assumption and look at it from the outside to see him to call it but when you come to inside he'll see did the colors you see the differences you see you know the old the bubble in a different culture coming to get there i'm a kid a brilliant place to live in so how does it make you feel that the government house
4:50 am
money. in parliament by giving money to the p. that got money to star wars all over the world. for me to turn that we don't need them there of money to house people who live in a house somebody feel. it's for me is a political choice what the government is doing but i have to say that it's not just tory and is the labor party who are leading the social club all around the country especially in london so yes they are the fifth richest country in the world so that there is no way they can't have any money for what they wanted to do to get it off to social states which are seen that you know the education everything is good to private that is the last things they can do a park and get rid of the council housing but what is they don't know we people point to for our existence so there is no way nothing can stop us we still.
4:51 am
have to fight because these are what homes you know what i'm going to do if they're going to move on their own so they're going to meet me move me probably to a nice place where i cannot pay at the end i cannot even pay they said be charitable or who are you know on their bills and there will be homeless this is what they are even the ones to do so said cleansing yes you not remove us from our property and be the nice houses for rich people this is what i mean this is sort of cleansing. the master back there and you can go and see the rock and the hard place exhibition of love it's been three gallery in waterloo waterloo in britain a lot in belgium but now let's go big is here and for the liberal democrat m.p. and broadcast you're going straight into this tweet the great president the great one and only donald trump as the imus in washington post fabricated the facts on my
4:52 am
and massive dangerous and wasteful payments to syrian rebels fighting us are now stronger to levels terror. and secondly most of the world wasn't interested until he denied it so now everyone's saying maybe he did something about it donald trump is saying that the obama administration backed isis and elk idling gravels in syria killing hundreds of thousands of people and donald trump stopped at the washington post is not backing him because abortion opposed backed isis but that's not what this is about technically not technically there are elements of what you say is correct this is about his inability to keep his mouth shut when both frankly had a house fire of his press team keep his mouth shut and create stories where there aren't any or there is a warrior here he is actually stopping funding covert cia funding for rebels so quite rebels are how is that a simple way of saying it ok you know what your next door to solves burgers is boston globe or the new york times group boston globe size could space pay for
4:53 am
a universal basic income the argument here is that there are so many riches all putting around the sun on asteroids and perhaps even on the moon i didn't make the story up i'm just telling you about it. there are trillions of dollars as universal basic income which replaces the current mood of the welfare state basically the big come could come from space if you get enough stuff from up there down to here to make a profit is that simple enough for you option are you trying to shill for richard branson the first letter of the it's long it's a national model to the it's not my prediction it's entrepreneurs and california is barry area virgin galactic which is also mentioned that they can't even do the trains on the west coast mainland was east coast how are they going to get stuff from space you really aren't thinking big here at all option you can go to space including with space tourism which is predicted to be worth billions of dollars but that's a side show what this is saying is that people on earth can be better off if we mind space for wealth my view to quote quite frankly i'm skeptical
4:54 am
at the end of the that's what our. skeptic. that's what i used to separate a shot so it was a bit of a g.p.s. satellite navigation and i just say that today nasa opens its competition for the public for origami designs of radiation shields for trump's mission to mars you know making this up no i'm not but let's go to the same is the new york times owned by the same people the boston globe yes the new york times stays in space with this story make it so star trek and its debt to revolutionary socialism it turns out that many of the storylines in star trek that iconic american science fiction series are in fact reflecting socialist motifs and stories from various famous authors you will hear it as talks about meeting with vladimir lenin well that's one another one is argentine trotskyist leader known as j s so interesting you immediately. from this. touchy today you're celebrating this what this
4:55 am
means it is a logical gap to one of the most famous of the most iconic. racial candidates ok yes that's how evolution is or even has been talent who are so huge it is to watch that all of this is based on the socialist motif now any trekkie i knew this twenty years ago he tried he knew this is being dredged up now because it's politically interesting but fair play to invented roddenberry ok i think that a more here is closer to saying join us and live in space or pursue your present course and face obliteration and this is a paraphrasing of rosa luxemburg socialism or barbarism that's not from star trek it's from the day the earth stood still you're right it's not the klaatu barada nikto that's from star trek trying to keep up let's come back to earth now and capitalism at a little stall run by a five year old millionaire mike dance and you stick to the talk about dystopian the story says it all new statesman says you may call me a monster but i'm glad that that girl's lemonade store got shut down today in the
4:56 am
story the author of the story duncan hall the soul is taking a rather leave look at the fact that the five year old has. being fined for selling something lemonade where in guatemala no it wasn't in guatemala actually it was. while i was in. it was in the u.k. what happened but what happened was you got fined for having this stall out rage what duncan hall the soul is saying is we've actually called health and safety for a reason a lot. just hear me out here there are half a million cases of food poisoning in the u.k. five year old cattle have a summer fête stall selling lemonade it's a five year old town why don't you and i practice and go and have a stall outside by the banks of the times we could make a fortune the point is we couldn't make a fortune because big multinational supermarket companies would undercut us and then put their prices up once and driven us out of business let's look at the world that we live in now you supporting unregulated free market i am but i'm saying there should be rules and we can't have
4:57 am
a free market gone wild what's the world come we must crush that. limit oh thank you for the show we're back on saturday when he runs grand ayatollah shaikh most an iraqi explains to us why washington sanctions on nations from cuba to russia to iran actually benefit those countries. which would make. those get a little bit. more than you but i you. know there was a but i guess sort. of this yes or no but if you dump out and just see your piece. where they boo you go get
4:58 am
a good area for immigrants it's. never really know for sure. but this has been a active area. that you so i. know well when i started no i had. the republican controlled congress can unite around trumps legislative agenda but with democrats there in unison when it comes to punishing russia for alleged meddling in the two thousand and sixteen election russia will brush off new sanctions as it did three years ago but the europeans won't. fleur used to be a professional hockey player won a stanley cup and the moment the girl who was living the dream but his success had a dark side. time i was fourteen to sixteen i was raped one hundred fifty times by
4:59 am
a cold one i was mustered in a dark room and so you know every time i close my eyes from sleep after many years of silence he speaks up and unites with other victims so you are going from toronto to ottawa walk and walk and. walk just to create awareness and promote healing around the subject child sexual abuse this type of behavior is obsolete because of the sentences that are handed down through the justice system. it is. the.
5:00 am
the u.s. house of representatives votes for new sanctions against russia which the e.u. says could damage the european energy market. former state fighters returning home leave authorities in europe struggling for a coordinated way to try and deal with. whatever reasons why they were and if we can get them back to them and we educate them put them on the stream is of course is radicalized them but i think they have an opportunity should be no difference whether some woman or child got thousands of jihadists already ruled in our streets which has been put out by the government why do we need move. that undercover operation exposes how the pentagon.
