thank you. thank you thank you thank you thank you. thank you general yeah sessions known depression as mr magoo years so raised. over the past even his friends call him that over the past month he has set out on a quest to reinvigorate a war on the american people he has asked congress to for permission to prosecute medical cannabis suppliers who are abiding by their state's laws he has also reauthorized civil asset for forfeiture a highly controversial practice in which cops steal basically steal people's property and he's announced his desire to start a new war on drugs but here's something you need to know the u.s. drug war isn't about drugs it's not about drugs the drug war is about freedom and

apocryphally of privacy and corruption and racism and that may be at the dad at the bottom of the page if you can squeeze it in also drugs. the drug war is about drugs about as much as winning an olympic swimming meet is about keeping that bathing suit from riding up your crack. yes it is a crucial aspect. but if that's all you're good at you're not winning. last year we learned the drug war was designed from the start to avoid the bloods or to destroy the black community and the reputation of the black community even more than medea has a right. it was also designed to destroy the activist community and especially the black activist community this is probably something you felt in your gut like you knew what you knew was true but you never thought you really get clear proof of it kind of like when we. new barry bonds could naturally hit every single pitch from

giant stadium to yellowstone national park like you do it but you didn't have the proof. but last year we finally found out about the convention confession of john ehrlichman former white house domestic affairs adviser under richard nixon who was the first to declare the war on drugs he was the one and in one thousand nine hundred nine with nothing left to lose or gain ehrlichman told author dan balz the nixon white house had two enemies the anti-war left and black people by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin and then criminalizing both heavily we could disrupt those communities we could arrest their leaders raid their homes break up their meetings and vilify them night after night on the evening news did we know we were lying about the drugs of course we didn't. so there you have it the drug war was never about drugs they were they the drug war

was yet. and yet our government has used it to justify everything from police militarization to a bombing and invading foreign countries to jailing millions of americans we lock up seven hundred of our citizens per hundred thousand compare that to sweden where they lock up fifty three per hundred thousand and half of those choose to be in prison for the soft beds in the smoke tearing that's to die for this guy for incredible we have the most people in jail per capita of any become a country except seashell all right seychelles which has a population of only ninety two thousand they have like eight hundred prisoners total total that's the same number we have at the holding pin at mall of america right because they tried to look one of the mannequins or other. the drug war was

never about drugs the drug war a war against our own people is one of the most crucial issues in this country and nearly everything said about it on the mainstream media is complete garbage in terms of importance there the corporate media does not put the war on drugs anywhere near the level of say katy perry's haircut. or donald trump's killer recipe for a hot cup of coffee. the key is to marinate the raccoon testicles in like. you get in like a lemon juice kind of marinated and also you got to milk the goat by surprise preclude strictly by surprise. but last month for one of the first time the mainstream t.v. they headed to a channel revealed the core truth of the drugs the war on drugs has always been a pointless sham for decades the federal government has. gage in a shifting series oval of

a lion says of convenience with some of the world's largest drug cartels for example in the one nine hundred sixty s. they were working with mob boss santo trafficante jr yes he was a man named trafficante. who ran the drug truck it doesn't ring i mean that said i couldn't take a presidential advisor of con artist named kellyanne conway. thank god thank you for having a white house press secretary named david out of my face. so why did they work with trafficante the cia wanted pradelle castro dead and in return for trafficante help in various assassination plots they were willing to turn a blind eye to the extensive drug trafficking by trafficante and his allied cuban exiles so in return for help killing field ok astro they would allow the

trafficking of enough cocaine to satiate to the beggar death stagehands during the one nine hundred eighty nine told. so how did that go the whole killing of pradelle castro thing. oh it was a long gone where they just waited until he was a hundred years old and then and then they smothered him to death with natural causes. clever clever they're very. yes. toad's sneaky the drug the drug war was never about drugs in another pivotal moment the cia imported significant amounts of l.s.d. from its swiss manufacturer in the hopes that it could be used for successful mind control they went on to dose thousands of volunteers with acid apparently those volunteers included can rob hunter of the lyricist for the grateful dead you couldn't get. that one and whitey bulger the mob boss and hitman one to guess that

one could barely why do you didn't have the kind of l.s.d. that shows you all living things are just loving energy vibrations. you got you got a bad batch. anyway in a lot of ways this experimentation is given credit for helping create the psychedelic interest of the nineteen sixties as well as stupidly wide collars on shirts. goddammit cia i knew you were evil i knew you were i knew you were up to all kinds of no good but i didn't know you were responsible for the b. g.'s. is nothing sacred to you. then in the nineteen eighties as the reagan administration tried to overthrow the sandinistas in nicaragua the planes that secretly brought arms to the contras turned around and brought cocaine back to america again shielded from us law enforcement by the cia

so the us government was pumping our country full of cocaine while locking the small time dealers away for years what each of these examples shows is that the drug war was never a guy who tries not to mention let's assume let's just zoom for a moment that doing drugs is wrong or right just for the sake of argument i don't know if i believe that but let's just say the sake of argument that they're wrong isn't really it's really more wrong than say animal abuse or raising children in a discussing home or pushing a handicapped person over so you can get a taxi or puckering your padded wanna was sarcastic comments about this lack of taste in movies like. people rarely go to jail for any of those things for they rarely go to jail for animal abuse but constantly go to jail for getting a little loopy from a drug or giving that drug to someone else couldn't you argue that smoking something is almost zero. less criminal than all of those things goes was criminal

then sending men and women to die in an illegal invasion of a middle eastern country under the pretense that there are weapons of mass destruction when they're totally art what about drowning a hardworking american in debt for the unforgivable undeniable crime of getting an education thereby taking their entire life their entire existence and setting it on a path of of misery should that come with a harsher sentence than popping a pill but these laws are set up this way because the drug war was never about drugs. right. there was this candle perpetrated on the american people is breathtaking and the number of lives destroyed is hard to even calculate so in conclusion. go

yourself mr magoo has already thank you. both. thanks. thanks thanks to you. from the high this past thank you this past monday was black women's equal pay day that is the day in twenty seventeen at which point a black woman will have earned as much as a white guy earned in twenty sixteen alone for doing the same job so to take a black woman nineteen months to earn what a white guy gets in twelve months and i think i speak for all white guys here when

i say. why do they get a day. this is very racist. we want to ten. unfortunately equal pay day for a chinese woman at an apple foxconn factory is sometime in two thousand and twenty seven so. don't shoot the messenger all right. if i if i were them if i were the people building each i phone i would just leave and show the side. he exploded so dumb americans could spend months trying to find the smell. but luckily for us foxconn has just announced they're opening their first u.s. plant in wisconsin and made in america will actually mean something again rumor has it even the anti-suicide nets around the buildings will be made right here in

america. yeah they'll have to have to reinforce them a little because of the size of our workers but. yeah we will tear right through you dig a little suicide yet they don't do nothing to us. so. the name of the name foxconn doesn't really inspire confidence does it it's a combination of outfoxing you and conning you. i honestly i prefer their competitor scam ha ha ha ha ha. i just like their products better. i think what fox conn's american rival really means is that rather than building up worker rights in other countries we have managed to cut our own protections to such a degree that we can now house the worst abuse centers in the world jobs aren't going overseas anymore because workers are exploited just as well right here at home you know we had a dream we did

a while back we were like one day maybe id. can work all day just to afford the bus ride home from work. and we made that dream come true we made it happen we are two nations and as many of you know when workers are exploited really well the stock market celebrates and it just broke twenty two thousand the dallas jones just did for the first time ever wall street sees a worker with no benefits and it has its pants. it's something else helping wall street is our massive weapons contractors which are also spook tested right now our number one customer saudi arabia is like a kid in a candy store of death they are. having a blast successfully assaulting the people of yemen with our help and causing what the w.h.o. just declared the worst cholera outbreak ever and one of the worst famines ok this

may look bad it may look bad for us but think about it this way the u.s. is terrible at cooperating with other countries right where we're real lone wolf or over a lot of relationship problems so this is a big step we are currently partners with saudi arabia in a massive war crime so. you know don't focus on the other words and that son's just focused on partners. we have a brand y. balmy in clive we are well we have a body. but you have to wonder are we running out of places to commit war crimes do in fact the u.s. war machine has found iraq two point zero well i guess iraq was iraq two point zero . and then libya and syria then so this is like a rock fifteen point. it's yet another country that's not shackled to us economically or via the world bank and now we want to create

a cia backed coup there it's venezuela. and you maybe you think the u.s. only cares about getting involved with countries with huge oil reserves there's no reason they would and that's a good oh wait the proven oil reserves in dennis will are recognized as the largest in the world. so this week our mainstream media has been breathlessly telling you that how how horrible it is it's horrible we have to bring democracy back to venezuela while we hold hands with brutal saudi arabian monarchies well could our ruling elite be prosecuted for any of these war crimes or past crimes don't be silly that never happens as tony blair just this week the high court in the u.k. blocked the prosecution of the former prime minister for his role in the war crimes in iraq you know it's really not fair it takes

a white guy five times as long to get convicted of as many war crimes as black guys we wise guys are discriminated against. we are. in fact since the inception of the international criminal court more than a decade ago only africans have been brought to trial why guys germs are. pretty damn quick right but i have a comedy shows coming up in seattle and washington d.c. just email redacted tonight at r.t. america dot tv pretty tales of bigots what did i rack.

my son at least i hated being that you know i. victim valued outside of the lock on the. by then coffee session on the nod their data. by then is a shift of allah. all of a sudden the audience at a loss is going on more. serious certainly not so it. than the notion we should be open to the whole multiple injuries among current america so don't look yourself you hold most of the work but it shows real your mercy rather into the gold lot more than a few members of the medical social services so you're welcome as well but you know more also what a month. of it enough of a. tough allowed leave the things you somethin no shade was. on

long enough something not set in. the hamas as a lead to how it was look ma that i would economically and that is that it would have. a batch or sudden passing i've only just learnt you worry yourself in taking your last wrong turn. your out to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry if only i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feeling started to change you talked about war like it was again still some more fun to feel those that didn't like to question our arc and i

secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters. mind gets consumed with this to. speak to you just don't want to take. a look at mainstream media has met its make. very. tough to me recently analyzed by the center for public integrity revealed the fossil fuel industry is spending millions to fill k. through twelve schools with pro oil propaganda in order to get our kids to grow up climate change denial. instead of just the standard idiots we've been known for various crises our senior all to school pipeline special assuming your money.

told me the money and climate change doesn't even have change to spare those green peas bakers are out on the street climate change is asking really for money. the big oil is giving a lot to schools the oklahoma energy board for instance spent forty million dollars in the past two decades and came through twelve outreach and curriculum not unlike the oil industry and other states and of course daddy bucks wants a say in what's being taught or not being so they're pretty much just paying schools and manipulating teachers to advertise to children look leave the days of that hippie vegetarian miss frizzle are over. and then bus runs on diesel not magic what do you kids are doing mushrooms now we have new

characters to teach us science like fuel is freddy all over. petrel pete. when there was a real that's real c.d.'s the firy crew father gave schools nine thousand copies of petro paints big bad dream where pete wakes up in a world without petroleum and it is scary keep looked around the room and many of his belongings were missing including his clothes for school. runs to the bathroom to brush his teeth and comb his hair for school but his tooth brush and comb are missing if they go to school in this but. we did the really good. trick kids that's that's ridiculous look russians yeah right the by products the by products from oil like through brushes and combs are not our problem here it's our over dependence on oil for transportation factory

farming military worst petro pete going to be one or environment is completely collapsing in fifty years because we didn't heed the warning of climate scientists i don't know maybe it could be fined had to repeat in this scorched wasteland kind of like kind of like where's waldo but with more scorched wasteland. and so where is pete oh he's dead. or maybe he's living a mad max existence milking the blood of heretics to feed his harem of broodmares. we're feeding kids this garbage this is not a science sleep this is not garbage these are rich resources created by the oklahoma energy board have you seen their video series the lab time with leo that because of climate deniers who ripped off bill nye his boat. it's just ridiculous if it should be climate change let's not even science well kids if you live in

oklahoma or a dozen other red. it's you'll never need to study science climate change or evolution all you need to know is the story of adam and b.p. . adam and eve the same thing did you know adam and eve were naked until they found out about petroleum. the same as petro pre there is still is great let me show you this lesson from a program in ohio that teaches small children how fun franking is using twinkies and straw was. kidding that's no real yeah it is look you want to learn how to frat come on you want a little fracking fracking. was ok fine i'll do the honors so you stick the drill shaft into the soil and use your high performance

pump. and the cisco is saying. ok. thank you thank you thank you anyway thank you to dispose of the ways properly plus swallowing is not in my contract thank you very much. thank you. i don't i don't know what do you from the contract but next our military has been up to no good big surprise but in a strange twist it actually has to do with getting rid of our outlandish amounts of weaponry for more on this let's go to our truth blog not only go. in a time when this country is bitterly divided i think the one thing that can truly unite

us as americans is our insatiable need to purge. difficult to work with. difficult to work with my ass. though not everything should be burned for entertainment nor can it disappear without a trace people who live near ammunition plants like this one in bradford virginia know this all too well it's one of fifty one active sites across the country where the department of defense or its contractors are today burning or detonating munitions for raw explosives in the open air often in close proximity to schools homes and water supplies over thirty years ago congress banned open burns when they realized it's a lot like burning man except with none of the fun yearly as many man nips and

a lot more cancer lawmakers granted the pentagon and its contractors a temporary reprieve to find the safest way they are wild to talk to the burning of munitions because stopping it too suddenly might not be safe that's like song from your neighbor's arm insisting in order to stop safely you have to keep strong for the next twenty minutes open burn sparked outrage from affected residents like these in bradford where the plant burns as much as eight thousand pounds of munitions daily we already know from iraq and afghanistan that opening burns are of about as good an idea is drinking fireball over the age of forty or two white men making a t.v. show fantasizing about the confederacy winning the civil war munitions tires even body parts burned in pits right next to living quarters of soldiers and while

registry exists for vets who suffer damage from these fires there's no registry for low income black red. it is in cities like colfax louisiana where clean harbors a contractor with no sense of irony earns munitions with the euro regulations on emissions while presenting tweaking clean promotional videos with employees who apparently were granted the benefit of sage cheese this company calling themselves clean harbors is like the port a potties a burning man calling themselves well clean harbor. what's going on in colfax is just another battle for environmental justice or the chance of being exposed to pollution increases the lower your income and the darker your skin gets the twenty four thousand university of minnesota study finds us minorities face nearly forty percent more exposure to toxic air pollution louisiana state rep terry brown tried to ban open burns in two thousand and sixteen but the space chemical

industry and defense community fired back saying the move would alumina of jobs even clean harbors countered with pictures of freshly painted current pads with flowers and cut grass look just because you give something a make over on the outside doesn't mean it's changed only inside the i one face of the trump administration change several times it's still largely run by people whose insides are powered by gum or big. actually that makes it sound like they recycle i'm pretty sure scott pruitt just thinks recycling means using his diesel powered engine to also power is an industrial grill to cook an entire baby cow at a time but open burns were made in a terrible solution to eliminating military waste covering toward a million acres of land cleanup costs are only a fraction of the military budget activists need to mobilize in places like colfax and bradford so that the only thing that's been burned. is this.

am damned wider reporting from bradford virginia natalie mcgill redacted. thanks guys shout out about that thank you thank you got it thank you guys because i was asked if the nice was of the. you can see the border from here by the. steel fence goes down this side goes all the way down. like i said this is this is all. and this is all. you have every right to be here have a right to collect my food be a part of my family on both sides of the border. play started an organization

called the arizona border recall we or the standalone entity. that is doing. with these to be done in the five years it's getting worse the violence is escalating because it's. really good are great when somebody calls you know they believe that their ranch is there and they don't believe. that that is taking responsibility for their security which we would for anywhere else. seemed wrong. just don't call. me. yet to shape out this day become educated and gain from it equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart. choose to look for common ground. if. the u.s. launches a war and governmentally softer donald trump's phone trunk scripts with all their leaders are made public threatening to american diplomacy. bush's former ambassador to the u.s. opens up in his first t.v. interview since leaving the post about the scandal over contacts with american diplomats. secret documents show that.
