cysts is the years of industrial giants reap the benefit ignoring the coolest by chemical production. as if these people are. just experimental animals decades later the toxic environment continues to poison lives and we found these astronomically high levels of dacs and levels that my staff think maybe some of the highest levels ever 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. that this is. the worst there's criminal. greetings and salyut asia. as the classic rolling stones song says you can't always
10:30 am
get what you want but if you try sometimes yes you might just get what you need a hawk watchers in the theater of twenty first century war in beijing is based on the lives of the high paid trigger happy mercenaries a lot of the times you you never get what you want and you most definitely definitely never get what you need this is exactly the case for many in iraq today after a u.s. federal people's court threw a barrier large wrench into the search for justice in the two thousand and seven the square massacre according to m.p.r. a federal appeals court has thrown out the murder conviction of an ex blackwater security guard and ordered three others to be resentenced and connection with the two thousand and seven massacre of fourteen unarmed iraqi civilians in baghdad injured seventeen blackwater contractors paul slaw for dustin hurt evan liberty have each been sentenced to thirty years in prison after being convicted in two thousand and fourteen of voluntary man. slaughter and using
10:31 am
a machine gun to carry out a violent crime while nicholas a slavin was convicted of first degree murder and given a life sentence for according to the government by airing the first shot in the tragedy but the appeals court ruling now means that the trump justice department will have to decide if they want to reprosecute the slaton case which is now spanned three different presidencies meanwhile slams three compatriots will more than likely have their prison terms drastically reduced in the recent i'm saying i guess when it when it comes to the tragedy that is the iraq war that even after multiple multiple multiple years and multiple multiple multiple convictions justice will once again have to wait until we start watching the whole. thing. with the. real thing. as. to. what you know that i got.
10:32 am
this. week. on the watch of the harks i am so i robot and on top of the law or avoids out of i remember celebrating when they got convicted yes i did. various back and for that two years later justice is no longer more than three years old it would be justice is no longer serve but maybe justice is served again because it probably a lot of things were messed up about this trial and some did all back to the beginning is essentially which is really unsettling i mean there's only so much you can go through on these cases over and over and over again and our appeals process . is important it's
10:33 am
a very important part of justice but i feel like this is one instance where me the prosecutor kind of did certain things because they knew it would probably get back . because they didn't have the case didn't have the legs to hold up on its own yeah i mean look the prosecution you know they they can. go first degree murder a life sentence and. don't know what's going to happen with that i mean they have to go back and retry it otherwise this guy basically is a free man. you know they contend that he started the whole massacre uses bird shot first killed there's a rocky in this. part of the circle of traffic and kicked off this whole firefight massacre that was one of the main reasons we you know well we tried to you know at least superficially move away from using private mercenaries and contractors this massacre was part of that while the spill's court ruled that he never should have been prosecuted in the same trial as the four as the three other you know members
10:34 am
involved because if you could charge him with first degree murder you know that should be its own separate case and that you go in that he could have been able to call witnesses that just for his particular case to dispute that he was the one who took that right because apparently even in testimony that the state department i believe god early somebody else admitted to taking the first shot you know so again it's not going to be an easy trial for the government they're going to call and you know if they want to go after slab they're going to call in dozens of witnesses from iraq fly them back to the united states all the things they did before it's going to be hard to do and i'm sure there's going to be people who are going to want to come back right and be put in that situation after everything and i mean our lives the tragedy over and over again just to have it go back to another or to have them off again i mean one of those one of the. the government bungled they mumbled a lot in this case sadly which is you had so much time to put it together and you have all this stuff at your disposal and then you're left with this very very. a
10:35 am
bad case that originally so originally he's charged with manslaughter. but the justice department managed to miss the filing deadline and then after missing the final the finally deadline they inadvertently let the statute of limitations expire the statute of limitations work rhymes. just trying to put out what am i had so what they did is they force them to charge him with murder which doesn't have a statute of limitations so they wanted to recite charterers i charge him with this manslaughter conviction but they made it what made it worse because they didn't bother to check on those two dates which is really important i think the one that gets me is the weapons charge it seems just sort of ancillary and thrown on there so that it didn't look like they were just charging them no one thing because they had the whole web and started to was three of them received in the hands penalty because they were convicted of using military firearms while committing a felony and evidently we their government caught their military contractors
10:36 am
they're going to have american military weapons wherever they are and that law was really made it had to do with gang members and organized crime having these kinds of weapons are committing a crime it wasn't meant to be used against you know some of the earlier the you know kind of clicks after that about you know rather than through the cases we just do you know you mentioned that you know one could be so why is the liver the kind of. maybe that kind of sort of. maybe kind of sort of purpose talk to bunch of this extra stuff rather than just go after him for manslaughter or you know murder maybe all three or four of them right there because it was kind of what if we took over stuff maybe the appeals court will turn it over like the or maybe they won't find me guilty conviction and then. because i think it was kind of a surprise for you to embarrass a lot of people in various embarrass the u.s. military and the government never a thing. and really brought attention to the fact that we're playing. you know
10:37 am
goon squad and giving them incredibly powerful weapons and then just kind of throwing them out in these situations without a really good amount of training these are either former soldiers who then went into private service i don't think they're taking them along every day and say how's your month or capacity right now and i just don't see that out as the winners are going as a little always were there the weather started black water is low one of the top advisors pearlie of the troll boy. posted great numbers for the book and. it's easy to see how the corporate media uses fear and negativity to boost the visibility of stories related to politics health care and the military industrial complex and artfully weave a narrative that suits their editorial or advertising agenda in the process but when it comes to gaming the news media has had blinders on for decades the narrative goes video games are no rot your brain actual issues that they gave an
10:38 am
industry whether social or economic or simply not worth the mainstream media is less of course it's suits their agenda as one mainstream media journalist told kotaku you took a last fall anything that instills fear in people those stories always rate this weekend a washington post released an investigation into a long defunct gaming company g.e. and its connections to the current administration's chief strategist steve bannon was essentially a chinese based gold farm the mind as they call it credits prizes and currencies within the large online multiplayer games like world of warcraft ever quest and guild wars the idea being that gamers who wanted to level up quickly or save hours of gameplay could pay premium prices to essentially cheat the game to ban and design the business plan that included paying chinese workers twenty five cents an hour to finish quests for rich merican gamers in fact it reiterated multiple times that the wall. post writers couldn't prove you knew anything about it in the first
10:39 am
place now i'm not defending steve bannon but the narrative that the mainstream media is obsessive lee trying to spin now is that men's evil plan to win the white house was hatched in the wilds of the young white male dominated online gaming world trouble is by their very own reporting ban had nothing to do with the day to day operations of and probably even actually know exactly how any of it worked in the first boy is the fear mongering mainstream press has decided once again to demonize an entire community to score political points use one gender as a pawn to drive wedges and blame leonor yet copy the work of others once again proving they don't care about giving the public the facts contacts and transparency as much as they care about shaking as many nickels out of our pockets as possible build ourselves to reload the mainstream it is just going to tell you deny what i g.e. was trying to write some nickels out of people's parents well the well is that band of model yeah you know it's really interesting because not just some clue they
10:40 am
brought in to basically just go to lobby for the right the gaming industry to suit up theirs. but they set up this way the kind of mind there's no mine you know gold art of marks things like that with a roll of warcraft you know by putting in these low wage workers and then they brought back remember now that we got caught doing this we need blood kind of a middleman to smooth this over with the gaming world how can we make this legit run on the really big guy you bring in who's a little bit in the criminal and organized crime you're trying to kind of legitimize a business you can longer some money you see you get out i mean diligent guy who knows how to make businesses look good all in this virtual legal them lobbyist gary sickly doing so so gold farming is something that's a big controversial thing for for gamers because when you have one big all multiplayer univer. it's you're all sharing one space within that world or that
10:41 am
thing so when someone is coming in and eating up all of the gold or eating up all of these resources you then have scarcity and an economy within a world you're seeing things that happen in real life happen there so when you have these people are getting paid you know twenty five fifty cents five cents an hour to gather money in these online games or level up for people is kind of doesn't quite. it is a messing up the economics of the actual game itself it's kind of like going in and just causing a bunch of trouble in the n.f.l. and just going way. so we can make more money on it and all the fans of the players are like what are you doing you're ruining everything but the thing about this story that kind of got me was that he was he had this all came this idea that he learned it from watching them was that he said it was him populated by intense intense young men smart focused relatively wealthy and highly motivated with issues
10:42 am
that matter to them now let's be clear the issues that mattered to those millions of young and they weren't just men it was men and women he is he they bankrupted this company by using a four chan to get around that they want to shut down these accounts so what they did is bankrupt as company and he looked out and said who the mainstream media spins it their their angle on it is oh these world of warcraft people he learned from them. again on top of everything else everything about this bam and story was reported by major outlets all over the gaming world way back to last summer and fall really being reported until just now or and you know probably going to see it really talked about on t.v. you know about because the problem jobber ties in the gaming world sperms are writers you know they want. actual issues like harassment like game or gate you know like you're not going to do anything about nothing about harassment you do nothing about that. but then you're going to use us as your little shield to go
10:43 am
after bamboo and here's the thing people got to stay while we're talking about it it was video games one of the biggest industries are there like crushes lose business i mean it looks at least four and one sells them are average gamer age is thirty five years old right now and the average gamer age this isn't a kids thing and then the thirty five age group it's fifty fifty male female it is right it is you know their one. billion dollars industry as of twenty five team are expected to be ninety billion by two thousand and twenty so issues that affect that industry are going to affect the rest of the world we have to start talking about things by mistake. and when you have but company like. basically. twenty five dollars gold world to deplete the resources. at a much much i read some things are ten thousand dollars there. you know that's
10:44 am
something that the industry itself and my right. to correct this problem corrected exchanges that were somewhat regulated by the regular by the community so that the people. people who work from home people disability often end up working in these kind of gaming. where they're protected at work i played all this and i have this small amount of time sixty million dollars goldman sachs back. as we keep up with. to discuss and venture to book. to watch.
10:45 am
in. one of. the money.
10:46 am
i was never. heard. was.
10:47 am
although maybe. a relevant day of the story of government corruption and the spirit. of the challenges facing. off against crooked cops and an omnipotent gun lobby and mike papantonio latest novel law invention. a celebrated trial attorney and host of america's lawyer here on our decades of. the courtroom politics and. illegal. but also. for more on the reality behind the law and vengeance in the world of the real. welcome like. some. legal coming out of this coming up in september. female lawyers crusade against
10:48 am
a. government official she's going to be busy i think in the book synopses begs the question these days are you sure this is all. you know what you're writing about. like the first book it's all all of the stories are actual stories or to pieces that we actually have handled and has been put into fiction world and it's gotten so it's gotten to the point where the typical american doesn't get a chance to ever see back stories i mean if they turn on him as n.b.c. denied they're going to hear let's go to russia if let's start war with russia if they turn on c.n.n. it's let's start a war with russia and then. in the back in that crazy type of dialogue real stories are never reported to the american real stories of their love for example this book . but. i really like.
10:49 am
vengeance but it's become. politics. have all of the twenty. crime ridden incredible rates so that we would talk that you know that i talk about. but it's built into a fiction story that we actually handled in this case with the. distributor. defective guns that was actually causing the death of police of policemen and of soldiers and in. iraq and afghanistan. when you have to tell the.
10:50 am
group that's the. sad case of today that we have to tell official story to get the actual real yeah and sometimes it's almost better i sort of i'm sure a lot of people ask you if. people like. you know working on trial on being around politics and media and all of that have you with obviously. i mean the level of corruption in conspiracy on a full you know real world level as you have and. no i really haven't you know i've been doing this for thirty five years all i do is . for example in working on deals with deals with the. who clearly understood that there was an addiction crisis in sport and sports in the country
10:51 am
well did that just happen that just know it happened but out of conduct they evaluate where can we get the most people addicted to our product they had they had distributors out there doing that and even in that case where you've got you've got populations around this country right now that are known as zombie land that's not my word that's what that's the nakheel are that's developed in places like west virginia ohio kentucky alabama where they've had just this onslaught of opioid addiction well that didn't just happen that was planned it was part of the business plan of these manufacturers part of the distributors and nobody has gone to prison but some cat out stealing two ounces of marijuana on a street corner has the right you know may end up in prison for two years so that's that's the disconnect of the american public doesn't hear about unfortunately as i say that the only way that i know to get their stories across to give people
10:52 am
a good story an interesting story one discipline to read they can lay on a beach they can read a thriller and at the end of that time as you know that thrill of they come away with a message that they didn't know about they didn't know the disparity between white collar and the average american they have no idea about the point you just raised about the conduct of corporate america has reached criminal levels and we're not willing to put criminals in prison and because the department of justice won't put a collar criminals in prison you just simply perpetuates itself generation in just a generation so i have more and more books coming just like the one we're talking about. here we run out of time to talk about that all day with you know obviously one of the things that's and that to me a lot and is your i'll crack and meth as they came out how angry and that i actually. sort of. the really.
10:53 am
shocking lack of women and i wonder. what's the deal with that if you serve the reason well the reason i chose to to make gina romano the protectionist in the story is to tell the story of how the profession has to focus on people's rights we're supposed to focus on civil rights on the ability of people to do well no matter their color their gender it doesn't make it a hero or in the legal profession and right now it's gotten so bad that you've got two percent population with. females in less than eighteen percent of. the leadership. that has to be talked about and has to be. has to be talked about within our profession book a pretty good picture of. simply to get where she needs to go on my in my teams we always try to include female travelers because frankly there are things
10:54 am
that they do a lot better. than most but this is. just avoided having this discussion for a very long time and the truth is it's time for the discussion i think. it's interesting to see how much they. want to ask you a lot of your political commentary focused on. radicalization of let's say the religious right and other hot button issues such as gun rights and what's interesting about you know politics today how. like if you look at like the you know. you know the right. kind of republican. and you know. that goes to. you know. what could possibly be the danger of radical. just in order to stay in power and
10:55 am
keep votes you know two minutes. well. fascism is always driven by fear that's that's where the gun analysis comes in. they're willing to give on. their laps and people have people willing to give up because of fear and that. causes. the country but always the if you take a look down every time you get a success of an effort like that. around people are. these characters that might seem to get in their hearts there are things that we're talking about in our blog right now. about what's happening in this country you
10:56 am
know it may be. different than what they're used to. it was less bad social change to expel a lot of quickly do you see a lot of decision making in the courtroom today do you see that bleed over into law about a minute. we have to be very careful of that as a matter of fact you have many times the law a jury will be read is very fearful to find against a major corporation because they somehow connected if they find against that corporation there's a big verdict somehow it's going to affect their bottom line it's going to affect their family there that's an economic fear that they have we always have to overcome that trial and we have to get past that reptilian mind that most jurors bring to the courtroom that reptilian mind can be very dangerous in a trial most of believe is mike papantonio host of america's lawyer the new book
10:57 am
law and vengeance comes out september twenty sixth thank you so much for coming on and giving us your knowledge today always a pleasure. the earthquake that hit the italian village of i'm a cliche on august twenty fourth two thousand and sixteen was devastating to residents they lost over two hundred of their own major archeological pieces were damaged and approximately half the town simply destroyed beyond repair but architect stephan refused to see the village none throughout the world for its local food and pasta forgotten when about designing a new toy to invigorate the local food economy from farm to table with over. eight and its entire innovative all timber construction. done quickly and create local. community day after the twenty sixth air had to. say was no more. it seems that in the face of the tragedy and loss to get there
