trucker's seriously our government puts its two cents into hundreds of t.v. shows that we watch thinking it's just entertainment and again there's only one way to describe this and that's propaganda in the report the independent also details some of the specific changes that defense department asked movie makers to make so that the movies are more in line with what the government wants people to think and what example they give is from the movie meet the parents in it the writers had originally had robert de niro's character happen a ray of cia torture manuals because they thought it would be funny but the cia actually asked the movie's makers to remove that so that americans don't actually think that the cia has such manuals because that makes them found bad so yet our media can try to tell us that it's only other countries that make propaganda but the independence of recent report shows who the real propagandists are.

most people think just in this business you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice or the biggest worry in truth to stand out since you just read as the right questions to the right answer. question. i'm a trial lawyer i've spent countless hours going through documents that tell the story

about a. corporate media really uses to talk about the. i'm not a pretty clear picture about how disturbing council worker is because. these are stories that no one else might have or you're close to the america. when. i. welcome you back to me i really am today i talked with one of the best political writers i've come across in recent years ted rose ficker a he's the editor of the journal which counters the profit driven monetization of injustice and serves as

an alternative to our pile of crap corporate media so anyway here's my conversation with they don't fare as thank you for joining me here thank you for having me. in your writing you've been doing some great stuff as you know these are these are kind of dire times we've seen crazy climate change related disasters recently and you know this this opens up these disasters to be opening up a they always seem to open up a whole for a new york and the neo liberals to run in their unexploited disaster disaster. capitalism get in there make some money off the people that have been devastated and you talked recently one of your articles about the n.g.o.s and how they and how they helped open that door you want to sell you talk about natural disasters but maybe you talk more in africa and i just want to talk

a little about that how do these n.g.o.s do i think in a way they're the twins of the mercenaries that go in and destroy their countries or create havoc and destabilization and then on the back side they come in to n.g.o.s various philanthropists to to pretend like they're saving people when in reality they're kind of propping up the system of what i call you know this new can only it was i'm can only them never went away in the eighteen hundreds it was to brute strength and through the gun the way that it has morphed now is by subterfuge and by you know identity politics is not only. unleased in america it's been going after for very long so yeah you mentioned when your articles out of the colonialization that you saw in africa or we'll you know know about in africa it's kind of being used in similar ways against the american people explain that so

the way that africa was then is going on ethiopia is currently. tribalism you prop up one tribe above the rest and then you tell the other people the rest of the tribes what the problem is the one tribe that's in power and then the tribe that's in power you tell them oh if you don't support us the only alist they're going to come get you so a system of us versus them and then the whole country gets shattered because everyone has a fighting based on tribe instead of realizing that they're all in this together so nations get destroyed and in a way about tribalism so is the same thing so identity politics in america is the tribalism here the tribes here are you know white versus black. gave us a straight believer in religious people versus not only as a people man vs woman so as always all these women's groups that are created and what gets force in upon them is as antipathy towards the others and this kind of speaks to what we see with the neo nazis in the white supremacist and and

yes. absolutely people should be trying to stop that from happening you know those people from achieving gains in our country but at the same time when when they channel all of our anger all of this nation towards it's a neo nazis it's a day out and meanwhile there's still wall street still running smoothly exploiting the world you know the ruling elite are continuing to play their games while we're going the same as the blue mama and the only reason that i realize that happens in america is because you know two years ago i went through a lot of harsh have my life. i was the same person in two thousand and seven two thousand and eight talking about why people are this white people or that and i was speeding to the very same fractures that i was speaking against and then when i went through. the one year of homelessness and one year another distro you are still working minimum wage jobs i realize that poverty comes from all and

hardship as you know nobody can know your pain but they have their own pains as well. and just as at that point it is not just something that we can monopolize as . monopolizing it or only woman everyone goes through hardships so only they can to fight this global system of oppression as asked and to unite with everyone. as long as you talk about individual grievances then you ask them feeding into the very same system that you feel you think they can for any guest yeah that's really interesting i didn't realize you had spent some time homeless and of course the homelessness in our country i mean we have the money the resources there's six or eight empty homes for. closed upon a home sitting there empty for every homeless person six times as many. so it's not like we don't have the technology the ability the resources the housing take care everybody but homelessness serves a purpose because it keeps everybody grinding away to say hey you're going to be

this you'll end up here a futile to stay at a wage slave job that you might hate but what do you feel that that experience showed you or that's something that you know everyone by the way is literally one to two paychecks away from the floor falling out underneath us i was working right about this all the time i was going to and not so long ago when i lost my job was a two thousand and fourteen and even for a year after that i still had the means and so everything kind of you know factors that when you stop having revenue stream coming in and that's why people stay at the jobs and their ad because they fear that no. one in that. paycheck really becomes a form of a slave. and so you know you do his job and most of the time you get back into the career well so it's not really a big problem unless if you can't and there once you start going down that spiral. then you know the minute that you don't have. seltzer and the minute that you don't have a place to change you know these things that we take for granted when that goes away

then you end up sounding more and more so that's why poverty in america becomes nearly a sentence that you can't as i can tell since you. have the benefits of an m.b.a. have a benefits of a college degree years of experience and i see consultant imagine if somebody never finished high school and they don't have the transferable skills and you expect them to escape that black hole by working as i mean lebanon mcdonald's it's it's not the system itself as set up to make people fail and is very easy to judge and say was because he doesn't want to work you know sometimes there is no means for them to work you know i thought the same things and so myself. i think our ship and this was actually good because it shows shows you the true nature of injustice instead of you know going around marching against you know against individual groups as unit and realizing that we're in this together so for me it's and has that as actually a blessing i want to i want to change

a thing about it it's very very fascinating place to come to i think some people when they face charges often end up just bitter and angry at a lot more people whereas it sounds like you came to an understanding of a lot more people yet i say out there's a lot of things i did say in the past without necessarily understanding it i didn't have the wisdom to understand it i say like you know you life you have a choice to either revert the pain or invert pain so something bad happens to you and you can revert to it and pass on the same pains to other people or you could invert is say i'm not gonna let this happen to anybody else so you know and the way that that gets in the extremis and this way it can be life example hitler mother theresa hitler had awful things happen to him he decided to pass on the same pain as the you know somebody else to others a mother teresa or you look at it from a biblical perspective jesus was. also you want to point to these people that went through a horrendous things in their childhood or growing up they decided i'm not going let

somebody else go through the same thing so these are the choices that would make a better choice always is to say i'm not going to be bitter because the minute you start going into the bitterness of. perspective then you end up just beating yourself. fair enough furner for that all all good points i want to i want to go back to inequality for a minute trump is continuing the cycle we've seen under obama under bush under clinton of of transferring the wealth of our society to a very few people i mean wages are stagnant for your average working person but of course c.e.o.'s and all that the top of the system it's shooting through the roof where is the anger about that is it just do you think people are just well enough distracted that because you see so little anger towards wall street now i mean you saw during occupy the right now you just don't feel that that's what people are concerned about i think they are there's. not to sound like nixon but there is a silent majority there really are upset and this is not based on color is not based on politics they would disappear they realize that the system itself is not

fair but the media will never meet when i say the media about them time on those the corporate state media that depend on corporations. to be their source of revenue and they will never speak the truth because they're going to they would rather have us distracted by the sensationalism of trump the outrageous things they says you know i believe he was foisted upon us so that we can be in fact out of these about these things i used to be obama's biggest supporter not so mungo and to be honest you now that i see how the democracy cortical works he is like the bizarro version of obama an articulate does not very smooth at all and hateful but that's an act that's a stick that that has. obama did the same thing and the opposite when he when he spoke to that angers in the hopes of

a people that are with him well. spoke to the anger in the hopes of his his base and so the cyclical change this is our world where they once they get off it's there you have a very similar foreign policy a very similar wall street policy you take away the rhetoric of trump and obama look at their monetary policies their foreign policies there's not really any daylight between the two so is this rhetoric that we get upset about. and you said you used to be a big fan of obama well what brought you there was a just the homelessness it was a things that. gave you that switch there is lots of days but i mean part of it is definitely for me personally i started flipping on not flipping but realizing obama is not who he was taking a walk i became was. for me it was i've always been an advocate of the opium because that's one form of his really so in fact there is not voted for him and supported him and did the things i did on his behalf of his campaign was

because i was thinking he's going to change the foreign policies you know that really kneecap the continent of africa and when i realize that he's not doing that he's going to continue the policies of the motor industrial complex you know destabilizing countries the way that we've been for a very long time and started kind of you know i started to walk away from a talk with them when i went to the what i want to start in two thousand and fourteen and and then i really saw that there is no us versus them. and look back to what captivated me about obama was his his message of there's no us watch them the speech that he gave in two thousand and four about the rest a graph of the blue state that's when i jumped on board because i thought wow this man is going to maybe unite all of us what got me to think he might be different was that more of his funding came from individual donors a more abrasions and i thought well maybe he'll be indebted to them where is money came from but no it turned out not and then the other thing was that he was against

the iraq war before he was in. the senate national senate. and but you know that neither seemed to matter once he once he got into office you mentioned average again since i'm so on informed on africa i want to ask you how much of the obvious there is a massive place some countries doing better than others and how much of it do you feel is the policies of the united states and. west that have caused the countries that are struggling to be there and how much of it is just internal problems of their own as both i think we get one doesn't necessarily nullify the other one feeds into the so. you know for the leader decides to do things that are good for the people for instead of paying off the interests of the i.m.f. loans or selling the resources to outsiders that leader is not going to ask for it . you know i know he got to get into this conspiracy theory mode of it's

a deal to discuss this but get off he was america's best friend not tomorrow go. and then he started announcing they were going to drop the dollar and. write their own currency it was and it was soon after that that all of a sudden he didn't and by the way there was this other leader name unless now you've ethiopia who had this leader who for me. because he was a very much a tribalism self apart and then ethiopia i'm not going to be controversial within some quarters of the ethiopian population for me to say this but they really have reacted to that apartheid in ethiopia where every child gets their own homeland they even call it homelands. powers cost rated at the federal government and then all the resources are shipped overseas and the few and risk themselves while everyone else suffers and. at some point my less now who was the. former prime minister who passed away started to talk the same positions that did after taking you know that's where he actually died like that year so well thank you so much for

being here. so it's journal g.h. island journal dot com dot com yeah everybody checks are you writing and thank you so much for joining. so far if you go to a quick break but don't forget to check out the redacted tonight podcast called moment of clarity it's free on i tunes and stitcher and it has the audio version of everything we do here redacted tonight's. i'll be right back with more. global war hawks selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles they've gone. to new socks credit to tell you that what we gossip the public less files of the most important news today . i'm off the bad guys and tell me you are not cool enough and let's not fight their product. all the hawks that we along with our audience

of what. would you have for breakfast yesterday why would you put those through the face if your wife or those who've gone to me. now i've had to do due to two more. the mission of newsworthy it is to go to the people tell their side of the story our stories are well sourced we don't hide anything from the public and i don't think the mainstream media in this country can say that i mean average viewer knows that our to america has a different perspective so that we're not hearing one echo chamber that mainstream media is constantly spewing. we're not beholden to any corporate sponsor no one tells us what to cover how long the coverage or how to say it that's the beauty of

our t.v. america. we give both sides we hear from both sides and we question more that journalists are not getting anything get in your way to bring it home to the american people. welcome back so hillary clinton has been on her apology book tour which is actually more of a blame book tor her loss is everyone's fault except her own you know it reminds me of i had a great uncle is passed now but this was years ago over a decade ago and his wife. go on senile dementia and we were at a cocktail party a lot of family there and his wife had clearly unfortunately gone to the bathroom in a pants and so he said honey you need to you need to go change your pants if you've

gone to the bathroom and she said i am not it's someone else because she had dementia and so then you know a few minutes passed he says honey you really need to say i am not someone else eventually someone takes her off to go change her clothes and and then my great uncle goes up to the bar to get a drink and he says the bartender. if i find the man who my wife's pants i'm going to kill him and it was one of the funniest yet kind of tender in a weird way things i'd ever heard anyway this seems to be hillary clinton's tour right now she's running around going to five on the guy that pooped in my pants to kill him you know you had already you did it anyway here's what she had to say about donald trump's campaign. it was quite successful in referencing the stalin. that would give hope comfort settle grievances for millions of

people who were upset about gains that were made by others what you're saying is millions of white people millions of white people yes fellow drawled did get millions of white votes and he did say all the dog whistle things that lead people know him for the white people however where are you how were you in any position hillary to say that you would do anything for people of color as if you did anything for people of color as well as the first lady as secretary of state as a senator you were you and your husband basically created the prison industrial complex i mean you know at least you know grew it immensely you were you ever you were you supported and helped foster white supremacy wars our white supremacy bombing or round the world in numerous nations as secretary of state you were you into the wall street destruction of the working class who do you think that hurts

so terribly but people of color you know that there was one of the this type of people that are most often impacted by all of these foreclosures and you know exploitation of lending and mortgages so the idea that you do anything for people of color is a laughable and then there was the harm she believes was done by bernie sanders or fiery populist primary opponent has given speeches on will shrink she writes his attacks caused lasting damage making it harder to unify progressives in the general election and paving the way for trump's crooked hillary campaign she's crooked folks she's cricketers a raid on a. he. enters pave the way for the crooked hillary campaign you know either get ellerey campaign by be

a current candidate and bernie was out there paving with a lawyer a little lawyer a little bucket of cement was paving the way for a crooked hillary then you drove by him in a massive asphalt machine. even micro going to hell or a campaign you did that by taking money from wall street hundreds of thousands i mean that adds up to millions of dollars giving speeches to wall street that you refused to release remember you refuse release those because we couldn't hear what you're saying to your wall street bodies in these speeches the private server thing what do you think says hey i got a lot of secrets back in this closet and other than putting all of your e-mails on a private server being in bed with monsanto being on the board of wal-mart internal e-mails show the collusion between the d.n.c. and your campaign which they claim they didn't have and between your campaign and the media you're getting questions delivered to you from the debates by people

every step of the way you basically went out there with a giant flag and said. dad that was you that's all i knew was that bernie sanders all right bernie sanders is pointed out what was actually going on i understood that there were many americans who because of the financial crash there was anger and there was resentment i knew that out. but i believed that it was my responsibility to try to offer answers to it not to fan it i think jane that it was a mistake because a lot of people didn't want to hear my plans they wanted me to share their anger and i should have done a better job demonstrating i get it really what she's saying is i should have a better job of pretending that i get it acting as if i get it as if i understand

the pain that i and the clinton machine and my fellow guards have created you can't get it hillary you never could because you are the problem bernie sanders could say he got it to some degree because he doesn't have hundreds of millions of dollars he has been in the senate saying the same things for thirty years you have not you've been in this bubble the camelot bubble all right trump can say he gets it because. i don't i don't know i don't know why people believe he gets it he shares their pain he's a billionaire who doesn't understand their lives at all just the other day the secret service show they spent seven thousand dollars on imperial porta potties for him all right so apparently he's just a better liar than you he could say he felt their pain because he's just a damn damn good liar i guess i don't know why also he has no political history so

they can't point now they can point to a you lied to us about everything you said you knew where you stood for you are for the big bang but before during his campaign you've never been in office so i couldn't point to that whereas you they could we could all point to and we can say you don't feel our pain you're the problem and then she also says she should have done a better job sharing her plans what play ends what you you would have put in goldman sachs surrounded yourself with goldman sachs just as obama did just as trump did you put in tim kaine as your vice president mr wall street that's all he was he was a big shining for you to the progressive left as a v.p. pick your plan was simply i should be president because. because it's my turn it's my turn to run the empire into the ground by giving it away to to big pharma to corporations to monsanto to the weapons contractors it's

my turn to do that i get to do that now as far as i can tell that was your plan i'm not saying trump is better than you i'm just saying you're both monsters and trump is just a symptom of a system that the clinton machine helped create it will never be a candidate i'm for that i am done with being a candidate but i am not done with politics because i literally believe that our country's future is at stake oh you're worried for the future are you worried worried that not enough fracking will get done without you you did fly around the world promoting fracking as secretary of state and you know you worry that maybe maybe not enough black people are going to be made to heal your words worried worry not enough children will get bombed innocent innocent children in various countries where they won't they won't get hit by enough drone bombs we're worried about your pretend charity or you you're worried that they're not enough corporate trade deals

like the d.p.p. will get done they won't get crammed through without you at the top worried not enough mass surveillance will be done on all of our people something that happened largely under your watch and obama's watch were worried that not enough whistleblowers will be prosecuted and put behind bars for the rest of their lives were you not in a primary elections will will be rigged worried insurance companies won't be able to exploited of dying and sick people through our health systems. you gave us this future you and your husband and your friend george w. bush to you guys go play golf or whatever with your friend henry kissinger who you call your pal who is another war criminal these are your friends war criminals and corporate supervillains your birthday party looks like the international criminal court of the egg all right you gave rise this could task to be going back years

years the koch brothers helped fund it and further bill clinton in his early days in politics through the democratic leadership council a group of wealthy staines who wanted to poll the democratic party to the right. up zero zero five five on that one guys you got exactly what you wanted they helped with the rise of bill clinton obama and would be president hillary clinton so your of corporatists to what drew him to hillary the reason you can't feel people's pain is because you created thereby. overall it seems hillary just lives in just a titanium bubble just an impenetrable massive bubble she has no idea what's going on in this country and then that is a booking go read about it there's no peers in that bubble that's all the time i

have for today but we have live shows coming up in philadelphia washington d.c. and more for details or to vote for your city go to redacted tor dot com just takes a few seconds also you can now watch redacted tonight and all of our t.v. programs on direct t.v. channel three two one good night keep fighting. most people think to stand out in this is this you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest raid in truth to stand down the news isn't just the dance the right questions demand the right answer. the. question.

i've got to do just that if you're watching. greetings and salutation. do you remember auk watchers when it was announced back and roughly mid july that the cia would no longer be funneling our to the syrian rebels remember remember that yeah it was kind of a kind of a big deal back then well according to a new investigation the pentagon never got that memo in fact it's recently been discovered that the pentagon has racked up over two billion dollars worth of receipts running guns into syria in a joint report published this week by the order.
