i was going to get. you killed him as he showed. donald trump is poised to address the u.n. general assembly on the opening day of its seventy second gathering. is basting security measures by constructing a bulletproof proof glass wall around the world's most popular monument the eiffel tower sparking outrage online. syrian government forces across the euphrates river securing their advance and the rule that's moving closer to us backed forces.

although there is five pm here in moscow and you're watching r.t. international with me. donald trump is expected to deliver his first speech at the u.n. general assembly within the next half an hour and how does balance he already spoke out of the organization criticizing gets a bureaucracy and mismanagement and calling for reform of more pain reports from new york on how the businessman turned president would like to see more value for money in diplomacy. has led to the original. donald trump has made his debut before the u.n. the world's leading international body a body that he once called a club for people to get together talk and have a good time trouble opened the first session of the u.n. general assembly with a quite familiar message makes things great again with reform recent years. the

united nations has not reached its full potential because of bureaucracy and mismanagement while the united nations on a regular budget has increased by one hundred forty percent and its staff has more than doubled since two thousand and we are not seeing the results in line with this investment at this point the united states is the top contributor to the united nations the usa pays twenty two percent of the core un budget and twenty eight percent of the peacekeeping operations that's three times the second largest contributor china being a businessman this is how trump sees it because the usa is such a big contributor it has every right to question the un's results and the usa has been seeing itself over ruled by the international community when the un ruled against israeli settlements this triggered accusations of bias i'm here to emphasise the united states is determined to stand up to the un's anti israel bias

but i think most americans believe that the united nations has become more anti-semitic more anti israeli and i'm a big internationalist but we're going to stop the money until we get this fixed and then there's syria russia and china are frequently vetoing resolutions that they view as misconceived this is causing american lawmakers to say that they are a threat to global security the problem is the international community is being held hostage by china and russia just vetoed a united nations security council resolution condemning the assad regime every time that's been tried they have blocked former u.n. ambassador for the united states samantha power a longtime advocate of u.s. military intervention has said that perhaps russia and china's veto power should be removed if it reveals itself to be dysfunctional then people are going to. i'm just not happened for move in syria on ukraine and you start to see across the board paralysis it would sit in each appetiser the security. council status and

international security updates it's sort of the trump tower version of the u.n. reform he simply wants to cut money on the mount i suppose one can wish him well but i don't think it's the right way to approach the more profound questions of peace which to me balancing with a world against each other is a bit more important than balancing the budget the united nations charter does not allow for pay to place games votes are not for sale before the usa calls the un disrespectful it should remember that it's a global platform for compromise where every voice can be heard. r.t. new york. donald trump is now addressing the u.n. general assembly on the opening day victory seventy second gathering let's listen in to address the people of the world as millions of our citizens continue to suffer the effects of the devastating hurricanes that have struck our country i

want to begin by expressing my appreciation to every leader in this room who has offered assistance and aid. the american people are strong and resilient and they will emerge from these hardships more determined than ever before fortunately the united states has done very well since election day last november. the stock market is at an all time high a record unemployment is at its lowest level in sixteen years and because of our regulatory and other reforms we have more people working in the united states today than ever before. companies are moving back creating jobs growth the likes of which our country has not seen in a very long time and it has just been announced that we will be spending almost

seven hundred billion dollars on our military and defense our military will soon be the strongest it has ever been. for more than seventy years in times of war and peace the leaders of nations movements and religions have stood before this assembled like them i intend to address some of the very serious threats before us today but also the enormous potential waiting to be unleashed we live in a time of extraordinary opportunity breakthroughs in science technology and medicine are curing illnesses and solving problems that prior generations thought impossible to solve but each day also brings news of growing dangers that threaten everything we cherish and value. terrorists and

extremists have gathered strength and spread to every region of the planet rogue regimes represented in this body not only support terrorists but threaten other nations and their own people with the most destructive weapons known to humanity. authority. and authoritarian powers seek to collapse the values the systems and alliances that prevented conflict and tilted the world toward freedom since world war two international criminal networks traffic drugs weapons people forced dislocation and mass migration threaten our borders and new forms of aggression exploit technology to menace our citizens to put it simply we

meet at a time of both immense promise and great peril. it is entirely up to us whether we lift the world to new heights or let it fall into a valley of disrepair. we have it in our power should we so choose to lift millions from poverty to help our citizens realize their dreams and to ensure that new generations of children are raised free from violence hatred and fear. this institution was founded in the aftermath of two world wars to help shape this better future. it was based on the vision that diverse nations could cooperate to protect their sovereignty preserve their security and promote their prosperity it was in the same period

exactly seventy years ago that the united states developed the marshall plan to help restore europe those three beautiful pillars their pillars of peace. ok we've just been listening in on donald trump making his debut speech at the seventy second session of the un general assembly the theme of which is focusing on people striving to peace and a decent life for all on a sustainable planet a thing which is about as vague as they come so many topics are expected to be on the agenda donald trump tower saying they successive u.s. reforms since he came into power in areas of m. employment and military enhancement he also said that the u.s. military will be at its strongest is ever been very soon so we'll be recapping on the latest from the un general assembly throughout the day so stay with us for about.

the french capital is basting security with a bullet proof glass wall to be erected around the eiffel tower the world's most visited monuments now looks more like a construction site the glass wall is said to be built on the two sides of the tower facing the river ascend they are the two sides will be protected by metal fences the plant has sparked hated reaction on social media with many expressing outrage at the counter terror measures. a wall costing about twenty million euros is being built to protect the eiffel tower on the multicultural europe is this needed bridges not walls except around the eiffel tower apparently a bulletproof glass wall to be built in paris looks like the glass wall around the eiffel tower against attacks trump in the lead. just mayor of paris together it's very sad that they're going to be putting up and surrounding class while they're here is detrimental to the beauty. of tower i don't think it would it would help

the security if something's going to happen it's going to happen in the same place while these well as if it was a new state. european cities generally have also been boosting their counter-terror measures but lynn and milan are among those that have installed special concrete barriers on their streets while nice to introduce barriers after the still day laurie attack there we spoke to john laughlin's director of studies at the institute of democracy and cooperation in paris who says the e.u. should focus on its external borders rather than bolstering internal measures we have taken down in europe national borders we don't control any more certainly not in the showing in zone who comes into the country there are no border controls as we know between france and germany or italy and spain and the inevitable result of this is the construction of internal borders within our capital cities of a kind which has never existed before it's rather as if we had thrown or you know

we had thrown away the key to our front door of a house and the result is you have to seek refuge in the bathroom we all know that the targets of attacks in various european cities have been very very dense for the most of what they have been on a well known street they haven't been around tourist destinations like the arsenal tower so if the eiffel tower is not protected by glass walls a potential terrorist driving a truck or whatever will simply go to the shows you say or to some other street. the popular encrypted message service called telegram has found itself in hot water after a man claiming to be a former employee he turned whistleblower and lifted the lid on what's been reportedly going on there while artistically in very good joints. in the studio now to tell us more about this so jackie bring us up to speed well tokyo is a massive russian international messaging app and in february of last year they actually published some numbers saying that they have about one hundred million

monthly active users with around fifteen billion messages being set on the platform every day so quite a lot of users but while it's wildly popular it's also been surrounded in quite a bit of controversy right now we have this man claiming to be an ex employee attacking the company in a very lengthy online post and he claims to have been wrongfully terminated over a personal issue and that seems to have prompted him to make this post publishing a lot of information about the company including conversations with the founder and one instance where he describes that telegram had used some illegal channels in order to transport their server servers within europe and which all that sort of information is likely to have prompted telegram itself to now sue this man for to the tune around one point seven million dollars for disclosing confidential information about the company. well this is one of many online messaging service isn't it isn't it telegram but what's so special about this woman what makes it so

popular one of its most popular features is the security that it provides its users it has really high levels of encryption but that feature seems to have become sort of a catch twenty two for the program because that sort of level of encryption has now attracted terrorists to using the platform authorities from a number of countries have threatened to block it over its connection to terrorists and it's believed that telegram was used by terrorists in france in the middle east and even here closer at home it's believed that those who carried out the attack in st petersburg earlier this year also use telegram to communicate with one another despite all that telegrams founder has said that privacy should come first even before the. fear of terrorism so controversy continues to swirl around the company and i guess we'll just have to wait and see what this latest development does to the company absolutely and i'm so you'll be back to bring us back up to speed on the latest on that stock in vegas thank you. other back after this short break.

here's what people have been saying about rejected in the senate just pull along also the only show i go out of my way to launch you know what it is the really packs a punch oh yeah it is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than blue the things that i see people you've never heard of love for jack to night i'm president of the world bank so terry i'm going to make sure you sleep send us an e-mail. global warming sell you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles they're going. to do

soft credit tell you that so be gossiping publicly. about her eyes and tell me you are not cool enough to buy their product. all the hawks that we along the border will want. hello welcome back internet trolls should be banned from voting in elections according to a new proposal by the u.k.'s elect to a watchdog it comes off the revelations that the vast majority of british m.p.'s face the online abuse in the twenty seventeen general election campaign we know that the internet and in particular the twitter sphere can be a pretty nasty place if you're a public figure you've got to have a thick skin to be on there and more so if you are a politician so this suggestion to stop online trolls from voting in general

elections it's come from the electoral commission because we know that some eighty seven percent of politicians experienced pretty horrifying abuse in the last general election campaign one politician that's been particularly affected by it is the veteran labor m.p. diane abbott had death threats people to single are should be home six years ago not just because you can see it will. be that she's right to let. me put it in the you know to put a stamp on it and that you go to the post box press button and you read. those two years ago people to build solutions to right down and it doesn't really matter what side of the political spectrum you're on there are both labor and conservative m.p.'s who have been subjected to pretty nasty abuse so examples of the types of abuse that politicians had during the last election campaign was one

conservative candidate being racially abused at a polling station another conservative m.p. cheryl laurie her election posters were actually covered with swastikas and a labor m.p. a former labor m.p. he was actually physically assaulted at the polling station when he was delivering leaflets and because. twitter is such a major conduit for majority of the abuse that these politicians get this suggestion for the from the electoral commission has been being seen as a potential deterrent so maybe get people to stop and think before they type their poisonous messages on their keyboard but obviously it comes with a big so it might work as a deterrent in theory but how would it work in practice it's a bit of a gray area about how you implement this law what is the red line just how nasty to someone have to be online in order to be banned from voting in the general election

well twitter users were quick to react to the potential by pointing to the country's standing on a dangerous path. let's get some reaction now from activists and social justice campaigner george barda good to have you on the program george now is there any legal basis for getting internet trolls struck off the electoral roll. well i think the wider context to this is that the electoral commission which is a sort of official body that looks into all matters electoral has come up with this stage is just a broad proposal that we perhaps need to update the electoral laws in this country because many of them date back a long way and they come from various different acts of parliament so this is in the context of a discussion about whether we do need to update the laws in any way. and you know as you've touched on your coverage already i think there are. everybody agrees the hateful nasty abuses something that we want to see the back of entirely there is incredible worry a loosely that any law that tried supposedly to deal with this problem ended up

punishing you know lots and lots of people for simply expressing views the contrary to the establishment view and where to reason may said in her statement on the issue that there's a clear line between personal abuse and political scrutiny i'm not sure in practice that that would work out that way but i suppose the big question is is if this proposal should move how can we ensure it's not used to target critics rather than trolls. i don't see that that can be done i mean i think there are plenty of laws already on the statute books that all used you know we can we count month in month out to prosecute people for offenses on on twitter and on social media so it's not as if the government lacks tools at this stage to punish people. it just seems to me that if we do go down this path it might you know with the best of intentions supposedly that it may well be something we'd look back on in

a couple of years time and realize was part of a huge sort of creeping censorship of the online space and i think this is something that we've seen come up in all sorts of ways recently you know the the desire to get rid of so-called fake news which in principle everybody is behind has been used to push down from google searches progressive websites etc so there's every expectation that this might well be used as you say to silence critics and that's what i'm most worried about obesity is being used to silence critics what are the possible danger is that it is initiative were to be implemented do you think. well i think i think there are there are issues around online anonymity generally with this and i think. looking from where i do the problem it seems that because there are laws that companies prosecute people already the problem often is anonymity and whether whether they're all steps that could be taken that could be properly overseen whereby when people are being particularly abusive there are ways

of discovering their identity or not i'm not sure but again all of these issues i think threaten a huge issue which we have going forward over the next decades which is the ability of people to use the online space freely and democratically and that's something the positive side of which we've really seen play through u.k. politics in the last few months from my point of view or when you know citizen led movement has almost propelled a non establishment candidate kind of get into power in our recent election so i think i think it's a very tricky issue and we should be careful not to respond hysterically ok activist and social justice campaigner george bought a thank you for your time. thinking. politicize ation of us society appears to be hitting new heights with nothing and no one else limits anymore the latest victim is the emmy award supposedly to an event to honor excellence in television however this year's show which was held on sunday was used to mercilessly the trump

administration host stephen colbert i was suddenly joined on stage by the president's former press secretary sean spicer spicer used the occasion to reference his work at the white house something critics suggested looks a little out of place as a t.v. awards ceremony. trump's adviser lashed out of the situation warning such televised events have become quote very politicized adding it's not helping their ratings but when it comes to politics in u.s. lines at the moment there's seemingly no escape. tired of politics. but in the past and i think that interested in taking a few government of by well it seems there's nowhere to hide looking for two days with a full cost of showering and messages on the weather channel home page buying a new comic surprise surprise superman this so-called protection of the earth is now would defend of immigrants that's how he's portrayed in the latest edition of action comics the bad guy here unarmed white supremacist and his stars and stripes

seems like a deja vu of those one thousand innocent white supremacy white nationalist protestors yes you stand up. to show that you are racist surely trusty old sport can save us but you don't have to be police to understand what the situation is why not give the black lives matter of movement illegal when the president of the united states is lying or either doesn't understand the information and i don't know which is worse. is politike so literally everywhere. maybe the show to of the big screen and the family comedies the way for what you want the red or the blue. it's just my boy as. he loves all things that wants to be one when he grows. nope not this time well children's t.v. it is then you could be watching e.s.p.n.

and hearing commentary on transgender bathrooms you could watch the cartoon channel and you know something about climate change now they will tell you otherwise they will tell you that they have never enjoyed greater numbers greater ratings nonsense if you look at the reason every awards the anime or it worse one of the worst ratings. is asters ever why because even in a television own words program they way political in the united states middle america mainstream they have no conception of what this is done by ed. any time you can work anti trump into first that many of the henny show from the dog channel to the weather channel that are jugend you get

a pass extra points for you. well they would aussie would love to hear your thoughts on the day's stories they do get in touch by following goes on facebook and twitter about with the headlines the top down. all the crimes are being committed today on wall street or talked about like lloyd blankfein and goldman sachs of say we're not committing any crimes because even though he's doing the same crimes that sent them to bankers to jail in the one nine hundred eighty s. during the savings along crisis they got government to change the laws so that those crimes are not he legal anymore so he's right he's not breaking the law anymore because he changed a lot of make what was illegal illegal. well you know they were kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long. i

mean they're in the small boats next to the harpoon ships and it's scary. the limo self to be told fish already ninety percent of the dot and it won't be calmer. conta teams. trying to do it several times a day with a big fleet oh you get an idea. we have to understand we can still use to just. be with this be used for you because we're. doing this because i want them for the future. to future generations to have and enjoy the ocean we have.

greetings salutation it's too often in our world today a hawk watchers far too many journalists choose to go along to get along when they are confronted by a story that if reported honestly could and most definitely would bring down the wrath of the powers that be upon their career credibility and character thankfully and lucky for us there are still many reporters out there who are not afraid to report the truth despite what the corporate news media's daily doses of paper thin reporting and celebrity gossip gossip would have us believe with tensions once

again rising to cold war level levels between the great nuclear powers of the world we need honest journalism to break through the wall of silence now more than ever i recently sat down with john pilger a journalist and documentarian who has spent a lifetime breaking through the wall of silence to port the truth as he saw it from his days as a war correspondent vietnam to covering the real intentions behind the united states asian pivot policy in his new documentary becoming war on china john pilger as one man who has spent his career watching the hawks. that i got.

to watch in the tyrol but to recently i had the pleasure to sit down with john pilger in new york. city to discuss the united states's recent pivot to asia and the state of journalism today and his latest documentary the coming war on china here's a quick preview of his film followed by our interview. the world as being a crime to regard china as a new enemy. the great power game is called put petrol war. first president george washington said if you want peace prepare for war. where are we going to stop this process before it starts a war. be a film is to break and silence a nuclear war is no longer unthinkable. the equivalent to what.

was exploded in these islands every day for twelve years. they're not trying to run the world they want to keep america from dominating we need an enemy for all this money and china is the perfect enemy. p.d. a country that would come up against us we get better and better and better. john thank you for sitting down i want to start and ask you you know in in your in your long career as a journalist in documentary filmmaker what was the point you know early on where you realize the the world wasn't as we were sold at the you know governments didn't act the way we dream them to act the military didn't have the best intentions for their countries or the people of their countries what was there a specific moment or sequin of and it's the kind of open your eyes to that i don't think there was a particular but there's not

a. left australia as a young man and went to england and then they can a career as a foreign correspondent going to countries where people have to struggle just to live was a shock to me i never imagined the world was like that. i suppose is the second point of suppose a piton if you like was spending. the late sixty's and seventy's and many of that in this country in the united states i reported. four or five presidential campaigns. but i didn't place myself in new york i didn't buy some soul from washington

travels the country and i knew i think i had a glimpse of another america. and i would say that my political education was completed in the united states because i. was. the what whatever happened had an enormous ripple effect across the world usually on people who had no power in their own lives to influence the fake and that was probably the greatest influence and i've been coming back to the states that since and the few hasn't triage. that ripple effect you speak of for lack of a better term or the correct term he calls that kind of hidden american empire that is you know kind of dominating the globe is plays a huge role in this new documentary that you did the coming war with china i want

to ask you what was the inspiration. to tackle that subject what was the thing that said ok i need to get this documentary to debate this i need to put this together because people need to know about this. well the inspiration i suppose was. was my own experience in the part of the well i covered the vietnam war and the wars in indochina on and off for a nano ten years until the very last day and so asia and america's invasions of asia. had had a great impact on me as a reporter. and some of my i suppose. part of my interest part of my heart was always been in that part of the world when in two thousand and eleven president. travel to australia to announce is a cold pivot to asia although he didn't actually call it that which was really what

he was say was way going to move most of america's naval and air forces to the pacific to confront the second biggest economic power in the world to sort it out dominance of china already is surrounded by four hundred u.s. bases that extend all the way up from us right through the pacific. through asia. japan korea and across asia but now america was really was going to say to china. west still the big guy on the block be careful it was probably the most provocative most aggressive and yet the most under-reported strategic decision made in the modern era. in

this country i say one of them the other one of course is a similar position which wasn't my. but certainly is an invasion and it was an invasion of ukraine when the us overthrew the elected government on your credit and the whole point of that was to confront russia so the strategy was. to what they saw as the two great rivals russia and china. and. this i think but really where is. the whole. essence of the us russia so-called conflict was part of the cold war and so was the chinese but china has grown spectacularly in less than

a generation america's biggest trading partner it is it is now the third biggest power in the country in the on the planet earth so this was an extraordinary story. and very dangerous move. i have to say something that the present president has yet to equal. and i think it's very astute when you point out that it was very underreported for what it was you know and anybody who kind of follows real u.s. history could kind of see that movement and what they were doing but that's one of the big problems i see is that we don't have. a very good education of what the reality of u.s. history is in this country for its own people and i was curious to ask you you know you see that with how you know the main populous kind of views china or the you know the words you used about china or russia is that

a uniquely us problem do other countries kind of show. sheild there are real motivations throughout history as much as the us does is this just a cool yes they do of course but the us is the multi imperial power and as we were discussing at the beginning what happens here matters but the most striking thing always since i first came to the united states is that the us intelligence. almost never takes responsibility. for the consequences of its actions across the world there's a kind of intellectual it's the bereft of of an intellectual let alone a moral on the sky and they can it's quite a craven situation you see it in in the the great old goodness of the intelligences the new york times and the washington post you see it coming out of

the great academies in the united states we're about to have. a massive retrospective on p.b.s. public broadcasting about the vietnam war done by the acclaimed. so all of the wood of this is that the scrapes. quoted in the new york times the smalling. the the the right to describes. the war in vietnam as being begun by decent people with in good faith there was no good faith there was no that's that's not an opinion there was no good it was a deliberate attack on that country now and i mention that because that's terribly important vietnam because. visit the maize to feed to the united states that's never been forgiven that has to be constantly put that's

not. and the collaborator in this suppression. of all the obvious to all the major truth a truth that unless it's on the steward that allows for more wars more bombings to go on and all. we're about to have that again. one of the interesting things i noticed and speaking of vietnam them china in the similarities that we're seeing is you know from what i understand was that i reached out to the u.s. for help before you know the revolution to get out and as you made the point in your documentary that the leader of china was also reaching out to the u.s. to deaf ears again so much the british the vietnam. messages to to roosevelt. the

declaration of independence one hundred to clay a north vietnamese that had become independent and was was based almost word for word on the u.s. declaration of independence and he was it was it was helped by committees patsy who was an american special forces officer who believed that what the united states was doing in vietnam was actually wrong you know the same thing happened as i pointed out my film out said to him. he tried to get in touch with three presidents he tried to get in touch with roosevelt and truman and then eisenhower and when you read what he actually wrote with them it's extraordinary it says. the. china and the united states have so much in common we can all develop without the assistance of the other great

power across the pacific it was the kind of geo political. ordinary people men face and it was rejected those who carried these mass messages with themselves these american foreign service. were themselves pilloried before the hearings and so we get to the point in the late fifty's there was no one in the pentagon. in the pentacle and so it may but no one in the department of state who could speak mandarin who could speak who could speak the language of the greatest power in the world the most populous nation on the wall. as we go to break cork watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered on facebook and twitter and see our poll shows at our dot com coming up john pilger and i continue our discussion on his new documentary becoming war on china and we also talk about the state of journalism today as we continue watching

the.

well nobody not a marshal in the. islamic states claims it was behind the manchester terror attack by the north front so kill the priest every time a terrorist attack happens all these people are out there screaming i says so bad someone needs to do something against them and for me was like yeah why don't. you. give them. all. of that if. you challenge them. hope you sound good has got a good. look and listen to me show me.

do you see this becoming. a cold war as in time so it was with you know the us and the soviets or is this going to turn. i'm not a futurist are a lot calmer make those predictions in the spot one only has to go to the people who have studied. the plan all headed by general. cartwright. some years ago he spoke of a window of decision making and when people. with the

responsibility for strategic nuclear weapons have to make a decision and that window has closed it's something between eight and ten minutes so a miscalculation mistake and accident by the way the the the the progeny of of of of the kind of provocation that we're seeing at the moment they're also they're also. continue in that analogy is that the offspring of propaganda. propaganda or uncensored ship is the real problem here you know we have now putting aside fox news but we have now the major so-called respectable organs of the media in this country who've given up real journalism i've been a reporter for quite

a while. my work has been acknowledged i've never known a time when basic osprey porting has been so abandoned when the new york times the other day could run. a lone so-called investigation by someone called scott. who was a apparently a reporter the about about these russian trolls that subverting the great american bureaucracy democracy one of these trolls is a sixty six year old. post in the midwest though someone who believes that hillary clinton was a war monger while she was aboard mungo but that apparently qualifies this person as some sort of russian troll the absurdity it's. it's worthy of joseph hell of a catch twenty two of any kind of satire but unfortunately. we're not

speaking about satire we're speaking about a campaign of war mongering. at what is that a that it's aimed brilliantly at eventually breaking up the russian federation. the enemy is independence all states that are independent they do not follow an american diktats iran used to be. libya used to be iraq syria is how long. russia and china big crime is their independence and to see the media as such on all be a sixpence. of power emanating out of washington. and yet and yet some fool of it's own sense of importance as

a bastion of free speech. i think i've never known that kind of censorship in the united states even at the height of the the great wars in the china mentioned earlier that kind of eight to ten minute. you know window and the fear of new nuclear war and you wrote recently an article that referenced the classic novel and film on the beach which the star gregory peck is wonderful film i like the very much it tells the story of kind of the world in a bit of post nuclear exchange and you know i have to ask you as a how how close are we to that beach right now you know from being on that beach. look we are close there's no question about whether that that final gap. well clothes i don't know as i say i think the the point made

in by never shooter in his book and of course in the film was that that it. there was a simple it wasn't there there was there was one where they were all sitting around near the end saying half of the still not involved russia or china or in the united states and i think held by n.a.o. as something and no one knew no one was sure war hell would actually stop what triggered it well that's if nuclear war. i think the same will be true i don't believe although there are some truly. being and possibly inciting people. in charge of strategic weapons i don't believe that any of them wants to blow themselves up yeah. i mean north korea no doubt is following

a very clear strategy that it's only by having nuclear weapons but we will not be attacked it's the madden it's the mad theory of war that has become the madman their way of the war yes but there's a lot to that are we poking him to kind of poking north korean can join the room to justify that in circle moment of china you know to give it that kind of a we have to worry about north korea and that the meantime so nobody knows that we're kind of moving this military machine to china's doorstep to potentially choke tried off of resources to put them in their place so to speak you know are they you think they're using north korea as that excuse to kind of put these pieces in place . they could probably that's what you just described as rational and is a real a real possibility there's no doubt about it and there is it is

a strange combination in my experience of a logik irrational but then the rationale ceases and there is a kind of ideological. logical impetus. to move it forward and you get this in. certain public official rules like. obama's secretary of defense ash ashcroft it was probably the most aggressive of his read now have. when. you go three you go through the matters and all of that you've got three generals but it it's. there's no doubt that north korea is used to assert america's dominance that the world

needs america to protect it from madmen. like the leader of north korea but that's the message to all this japan needs the united states asia needs it of course if you go actually go to asia so it may to china and japan as well. that's the last thing they need the whole island of okinawa which has twenty eight u.s. military bases on. where they are almost as i showed in my film almost by the order was given to nuclear missiles at china and the pressure. they want none of this the people in the region want none of this and what has been demonstrated ninety ninety two ninety ninety four there were agreements between the south and the north and denuclearizing korea there was what was called a framework agreement but even george w.

bush. agreed to lay off north korea if the if the north koreans would stop their development nuclear development and they agreed. that clinton actually a clinton to begin with if they went into the george w. bush period and was torn up. so we've had plenty of example. of. the united states the reach of the world coming to us with a country whose history explains why it is like it is i always want to either finish on a positive note because i think that's important in this world so i ask you you know do you do you see hope in all of this and one of the things that struck me in your documentary was the people standing up to the base in okinawa for the for the a resident example and so i think the there is still hope to kind of roll this back

and keep others from happening but it's a very good example and if you want to know the corrupt version of her that is become a campaign slogan. promoted to but i think there is real hope. in a place like. since the second world war people. almost the entire island is united in wanting to be a peace piece with its with its region. the same is true in korea when they cross the waters the island which. has been. demonstrating its its need for pays for many years. i think all around the world there is no question it's almost a given it's not who. it's it's who would want to invite or

break a nuclear war particularly into the region those who stand up to it are really i think the heroes felt time it is making their voices heard so is that so many of us here the and join with them as has been done in the pol stainless city in new york in the nineteen eighties a million people for. all the streets of manhattan in the freeze. and that was to freeze the stationing of nuclear weapons in europe we now have according to nato documents circulating. the intermediate range nuclear treaty is about to be torn up that means they'll be able to. base. intermediate nuclear weapons across europe.

great man great interview great show and that is how to read it very remember everyone in the world. so i tell you all i love you. keep watching have a great night. prescribe

medication is widespread on the us market and a frequent cause of death at that point in my life i just felt like everything was ash and my family was literally coming unglued i had actually planned. to commit some site watch all who has made antidepressants so commonly used we were doing what the doctors told us to do we were being responsible and what. the real side effects. was his jealously alter what i did was done on a cocktail of legal drugs. just because something's legal doesn't mean it's safe. heard in case you're new to the game this is how it works not the economy is built around corporations corporations run washington or washington controls the media the media control over the voters

elected the businessman to run this country business equals power you must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. all the crimes are being committed today i last. talked about like lloyd blankfein and all the sideshow say we're not committing any crimes because even though he's doing the same crimes that sent them to these bankers to jail the one nine hundred eighty s. trying to say it was a long process they got government to change the law so that those crimes are not he legal anymore so he's right he's not breaking the law anymore because he changed a lot of make what was the legal illegal. that was i think that i think is not. i but. i don't. know that it

was. i. don't know trump begins his maiden speech to the u.n. general assembly with his america last month but ends up sounding problems like his predecessor did. paris is boosting security measures by constructing a bullet proof glass wall around the world's most popular among humans the eiffel tower sparking outrage online. syrian government forces across the euphrates river security guard long scindia as the old hands moving closer to u.s. forces.

there that this is aussie in sanaa. in the russian capital i mean care and it's having with us this hour now donald trump asked to live in his first address to the u.n. general assembly we can now live to our correspondent caleb maupin for the highlights of what we've said candidate to see here now what did donald trump have to say in his opening address. well the speech to the u.n. general assembly given by donald trump began with some of his standard rhetoric some of the stuff we heard on the campaign trail about america first let's take a listen to that great middle class once the bedrock of american prosperity was forgotten and left behind but they are forgot no more

now from there it shifted a little bit and he began talking about countries around the world that he didn't seem to approve of let's take a listen to that the united states has great strength and patients but if it is forced to defend itself or it's our lives we will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea in fact our country has achieved more against isis in the last eight months than it has in many many years combined the united states of america has been among the greatest forces for good in the history of the world and the greatest defenders of sovereignty security and prosperity for all. and from there donald trump began talking about the role of the united states in

the world presenting the united states as a country that would lead the world against countries that acted in ways he did not approve of this the shifting tone sounded almost similar to things that obama had said at the united nations let's take a listen. we will fight together sacrifice together and stand together for peace for freedom for justice for famine for humanity and for the almighty god who made a song today a nation ringed by walls would only imprison it so so the answer. cannot be the simple rejection of global integration instead we must work together to make sure the benefits of such aggression are broadly shared the united states cannot solve the world's problems alone. unless we work with other nations under the mantle of international norms and principles and law that offer legitimacy to our efforts we

will not succeed now it's interesting because donald trump speech really emphasized notions of patriotism and loyalty to one's country and national sovereignty but at the same time it included a tirade against a number of countries whose policies and practices he did not approve of it seemed to be a bit of a contradiction as donald trump addressed the united nations. the mixed message is that from don't know truth thanks for that that's kind of mopin for us thank you. venture capital is boosting security with a bullet proof glass wall to be erected around the eiffel tower the world's most visited monuments now looks more like a construction site it lost or is said to be built on the two sides of the tower facing the river sun the other two sides will be protected by metal fences the plan has sparked heated reaction on social media with many expressing outrage at the counter terror measures. cost in about twenty million euros is being built to

protect the eiffel tower on the multicultural europe is this needed bridges not walls except around the eiffel tower apparently a bullet proof glass wall to be built in paris looks like the glass wall around the only full tower against attacks trump in the leftist mayor of paris together it's very sad that they're going to be putting the plants around it blast wall there is detrimental to the beauty of the tower i don't think it would it would help the security if something's going to happen it's going to happen the site claims one is well as if it was an idea whose time you were painting cities generally have also been boosting their counter-terror measures but milan are among those that have installed special concrete barriers in the streets while nice introduced barriers are the biggest deal de lorean there we spoke to a local and the director of studies at the institute of democracy and cooperation in paris who says the e.u.

should focus on a six sternal borders rather than bolstering internal measures. we have taken down in europe national borders we don't control anymore certainly not in the shang in zone who comes into the country there are no border controls as we know between france and germany or italy and spain and the inevitable result of this is the construction of internal borders within our capital cities of a kind which has never existed before it's rather as if we had thrown at you know we had thrown away the key to our front door of a house and the result is you have to seek refuge in the bathroom we all know that the targets of attacks in various european cities have been very varied and for the most part they have been on a well known street they haven't been around tourist destinations like the eiffel tower so if the eiffel tower is now protected by a glass wall a potential terrorist driving

a truck or whatever will simply go to the shows that you see or to some other street. internet trolls should be banned from voting in elections according to a new proposal by the u.k.'s electoral watchdog it comes after revelations that the vast majority of british m.p.'s based online abuse in the twenty seventeen general election campaign. we know that the internet and in particular the twitter sphere can be a pretty nasty place if you're a public figure you've got to have a thick skin to be on there and more so if you are a politician so this suggestion to stop online trolls from voting in general elections it's come from the electoral commission because we know that some eighty seven percent of politicians experienced pretty horrifying abuse in the last general election campaign one politician that's been particularly affected by it is the veteran labor m.p. diane abbott had death threats of people to see you just two years ago not least

because you can see it will. tell. you that she's right to let. me put it in the you know to put a stamp on it and that you go to the post books press buttons and she's read. she's good people do good citizens. and it doesn't really matter what side of the political spectrum you're on there are both labor and conservative m.p.'s who have been subjected to pretty nasty abuse so examples of the types of abuse that politicians had during the last election campaign was one conservative candidate being racially abused at a polling station another conservative m.p. cheryl mari her election posters were actually covered with swastikas and a labor m.p. a former labor m.p. he was actually physically assaulted at the polling station when he was delivering leaflets and because twitter is such a major conduit for it majority of these politicians get this suggestion for the

from the electoral commission has been being seen as a potential deterrent so maybe get people to stop and think before they type their poisonous messages on their keyboard but over the asli it comes with a big kaviak so it might work as a deterrent in theory but how would it work in practice it's a bit of a gray area about how you implement this new or what is the red line just how nasty to someone have to be online in order to be banned from voting in the general election. well twitter users are quick to react to the potential pointing of the country is standing on a dangerous path. a popular encrypted message service called telegram has found itself in hot water after a man claiming to be a former employee turned whistleblower and lifted the lid on what's been reportedly going on there. telegram is

a massive russian international messaging app in february of last year they in fact published some of their numbers saying that it had over one hundred million users active users every month and fifteen billion messages were being sent over the platform every day but while it's wildly popular it's also had its fair share of controversy one of its most popular features is the security that it provides its users given that it uses a very high level of encryption but that of course has been a factor that's been sort of a catch twenty two for the company given the security has also attracted terrorists to use the platform it's believed that telegram has been used by jihadists in france in the middle east and even closer to home here in russia it's thought that those who carried out the attack in st petersburg earlier this year were in fact using telegram and that popularity among terrorists even prompted russian regulatory body to threaten to block the platform altogether in the country right

now we have a man claiming to be an employee of telegram attacking the company and an online post he claims to have been fired wrongfully over a personal matter and he then published a lot of information about the company on line including conversations with the founder and also outlined one instance where he says that the company used illegal shortcuts in order to transport their servers their computer servers in europe which is likely part of what has led the messaging platform to sue the man for disclosing confidential information to the tune of one point seven million dollars . syrian government forces have successfully crossed the euphrates river. as securing their advance against the islamic state in the area. reports from syria with the latest. the syrian military allegedly crossed the euphrates river in the vicinity. just southeast of the russian air force had spent days clearing the way isis resistance in the area as well as destroying isis.

the various sources. a detachment that is deployed and trained to fight against isis exclusively it has apparently be tough. villages on the west on the eastern side of the river but isis have carried the counterattacks and have resisted fiercely sending suicide bombers as well as vehicles packed with explosives in an effort to destroy the advancing syrian forces. according to reports suffered significant casualties. have been captured but they aren't letting up the pressure they determined to throw the syrian military back across the euphrates river something that will be much harder to do now that

the russians have said they've set up a bridge a temporary military bridge across the euphrates river by which the syrian military could move heavy units. across. the coming days will be. because the syrian military is now. away from u.s. forces so it will be important to watch for any sort of escalation to avoid any unnecessary incidents. and these are exclusive pictures from the recently liberated syrian town of combatants in hama province they were real islamic states on munition death pose and all that vehicles abandoned by the militants as they fled the area and network of tunnels was also discovered which links those sites. for american society appears to be more politicized than ever we've got more on that's also the short break.

and when almost sure seems wrong. but. just don't call. me. yet to shape out just didn't come out today. and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart if we choose to look for common ground. i.

i. i i. i. i. welcome back the politicize ation of u.s. society appears to be hitting new heights with nothing and no one off limits anymore but latest victim is the emmy awards supposedly an event to all the excellence in television however this year's show which was held on sunday was used to mostly leslie mock the trump administration host stephen koepp told but i was suddenly joined on stage by the president's former press secretary strong spicer and spines they used the occasion to reference his work at the white house something critics suggested looked a little out of place as a t.v. awards ceremony trump advisor lashed out of the situation warning such televised

events have become quote very politicized i think it's not helping their ratings but when it comes to politics in the u.s. and u.s. life at the moment there's seemingly no escape diet of politics. in the past and i think that interested in taking a few government of my well it seems there's nowhere to hide looking for today's weather forecast that showering in detroit messages on the weather channel old age by new comic surprise surprise superman the so-called protection of the earth is now would defend the. that's how he's portrayed in the latest additional version comics the bad guy here unarmed white supremacist in his stars and stripes seems like a deja vu with this one side in his white supremacy white nationalist protesters f.s.u. stand up. shows that you are racists surely trust you'll sport can see this but you don't have to be police to understand what the situation is why not give the

black lives matter movement a legal arm when the president of the united states is lying or either doesn't understand the information and i don't know which is worse. is politike so literally everyone. maybe the show to of the big screen in the family comedies the way fool what you want the red or the blue now. it's just my boy this goofy little stinker he loves all things hell it wants to be one when he grows up. nope not this time well children's t.v. it is then you could be watching e.s.p.n. and hearing commentary on transgender bathrooms you could watch the cartoon channel and you know something about climate change now they will tell you otherwise they will tell you that they have never enjoyed greater numbers greater ratings

nonsense if you look at the reason every awards the emmy award moore's one of the worst ratings disasters ever why because even any television own rewards program they way political in the united states middle america mainstream they have no conception of what this is done by. any time you can work anti trump into. first like many others is the end any show and find on the dog channel to the weather channel that are jugend you get a pat extra points for you. russia and belarus currently holding joint military drills thousands of troops and almost a thousand units of combat haul hardware are involved causing a stir internationally.

or ships from russia's baltic fleet are taking part in the large scale drills the minute maritime maneuvers simulates night time from enemy aircraft helicopters and power troopers are also involved in the exercises western media and politicians have widely exaggerated the numbers taking pause also claiming the drills are not being performed in a transparent manner international observers invited by the russian side gave their assessment. be saw exactly what was given during the briefing. we sold the scenario that was originally prepared also the figures we

presented before we sought to be didn't look like yeah that's a current there is good right more defensive architect there for really good combination of all kind of board. they are the new alternatives to many systems in the world and back to say the future of global finances but the jury's still out on so-called crypto currency it's not being held by the fact the most famous of them bitcoin has been on a huge roller coaster ride during the first weeks of september after reaching a historic high at the beginning of the month of almost five thousand dollars for a single bit coin in the last two weeks it's plunged almost one and a half thousand dollars in value well experts say it comes off to china turned against the digital money on september the fourth china's central bank banned bitcoins initial coin offering which effectively blocked the ability to invest in

the currency then ten days later two of the largest bitcoin exchanges suspended trading in the country making it impossible to buy many now expect a full ban on all cryptocurrency trade talks forms but want to exactly koreans well his five things you need to know.

that bitcoin is not being written off just yet for the past two days it's been on the rise again has all very own economic experts max keiser on what the future holds but with a currency. what people don't understand about crypto currency is a big point is that we are saying a change in the global economy it completely changes the definition of money it completely changes how people interact with money it completely obliterates the made for free after and say and it challenges the need for gold as a reserve currency while the price of a coin ascending to one hundred thousand per coin and possibly higher along that path you're going to see a lot of volatility all throughout currency are nothing more than ponzi schemes they're long into existence and when the interest is due they print more money it's a classic ponzi scheme big coin is the opposite it's hard money it's real money there's limited supply it's desirable it's fungible it's divisible it's portable

it's better than gold well tell us what you think of the day stories by following guys on facebook and twitter and join made about thirty minutes for the latest headline. limbaugh no yes no marshall an islamic state claims it was behind the manchester terror attack by the. front so kill the priest every time a terrorist attack happens all these people are always there screaming to go ice is so bad someone needs to do something against them and for me it was like yeah why don't we do something.

you. told. them to do that if. you challenge the. chinese tough. hope you sound the kind has got a good cry and luka who came to him is and look his show i'm done. is dead with or with me i'm going to go it can all get a little old if you go by the arm plus i'm a lawyer but i you. know both of you was a problem but i guess you're kind of on the other side of this here for the a dump a lot and there's no fear of a little mystery. to them. where

they boo you will get a sadistic good area for immigrants it's hit and miss we never really know for sure but this has been a active area. thank you so i can. tell ya you. know what when i started no i didn't. have. a batch or sudden passing i've only just learnt you worry yourself and taken your last wrong turn. up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry 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 more like it was icky still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly. just to never be like it's sad one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with this reply to. the speech as there were no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker. i think. i.

am my skies are welcome to the kaiser report oh yeah i'm like part of that baby boom generation do you remember on television while ago advertisement for a famous credit card company with karl malden and he say you are about to witness a crime you know and then they do this all the pocket thing on fall. well today you are about to witness a crime once again oh yeah stacey yes you know this is quite important because in the second half you interview jim rickards and it's an amazing interview and he you guys talk about china and china basically destroying the petro dollar so at this

sort of moment in time i think it's quite important that the u.s. starts to take care of itself and figure out how to stop destroying itself how to stop committing economic monetary and financial suicide and yet the rampage that private equity the entire economy from the corporate sector to the private sector to the public sector is all hollowing out everything and it goes down to as you talked about being a little child a little child now what destroying all the hopes and dreams and fun of little richard system is in the second half rickard question a lot of people he tells a story about the cia gift shop the less about eight minutes you can get through that entire no i find it very interesting because he got me an amazing gift from there are not allowed to tell you what it is whole story i was in some place in langley by kids who was there a lot of people were there what we did what we talked about but trust me it was interesting it has

a helicopter and like well that's the worst story i've ever heard i liked it because he got me a gift there i'm not allowed to say what it is play here you know this is like ok the story is this has no promise no details and no punchline oh that must be the cia wow that's hilarious so here speaking of gift shop brick and mortar milltown toys r us hires bankruptcy law firm as the headline says toys r us is about to seek bankruptcy now as in so many cases the brick and mortar retail meltdown there is a private equity angle to it firms kohlberg kravis roberts k k r ver nado realty trust and bain capital partners acquired the publicly traded shares a toys r us and a leveraged buyout during the. l.b.o. in two thousand and five in a deal valued at six point six billion dollars they funded the acquisition in large part by loading up the company with debt hence leveraged buyouts and then i'll go over the details in a second but they stripped the cash from the company they loaded it up with so much

debt they've done a runner they've bought lots of real estate probably all the stuff behind us in new york city and they're happy but the little children of america have no choice to buy. right the leveraged buyout of course really came of age during the one nine hundred eighty s. with michael milken a truck so beloved there and the spread she was available on everyone's desktop the new computer revolution and you could go down to mike milken's desk and he'd say i want to take over let's say r.c.a. was bought by general electric or general electric buck r.c.a. and or you know michael milken you had all the corporators ron perlman you know carl icahn and they they borrow money against the assets of the company that they're going to acquire that's the collateral for

a loan they say this company is worth ten billion i want to give me ten billion going to buy the company and i'm going to take that ten billion and i will start selling stuff off to pay back the loan right that's a leveraged buyout so they've been active ever since the what what the deal is that basically the private equity firm in the case of toys r us they acquired the company with a loan and then they pay themselves a multi-billion dollar dividend. essentially extract. cash and the bird in the come i'm going to go over the debt i'm going to go over the details but i just realized well you're saying that. they also did this to the federal reserve bank basically there's been a leveraged buyout of america via the federal reserve they've loaded it up with debt they stripped the assets and if you want to why the economy still sucks it's because you're in a shell called the former country called america which has been run itself remember

philip green arcadia not shop in the u.k. you know his wife they did it through his wife's account in monaco you know a billion pound of debt extraction he paid himself a lot of government debt now they're in no retailing trouble to pension accounts of gone bankrupt because he borrowed read steal that cash and so here is what the three firms did to toys r us they stripped out cash and loaded the company up with debt and these are the results at the end of its fiscal year two thousand and four the last full year before the buyout toys r us had two point two billion dollars in cash cash equivalents and short term investments by q one twenty seventeen this had collapsed just three hundred and one million dollars over the same period long term debt has surged one hundred twenty six percent from two point three billion to five point two billion so somebody has to do a stop to this eventually like in the second half you talk with your rigorous about china and china has done this basically they were being stripped asset strips by

all these oligarchs taking all this billions and billions trillions of dollars again a lot of it sunk into new york real estate but they've said bost they keep on shutting it down every angle they they try to get more money out. even through big court exchanges they're shutting those exchanges down the conversion of yuan into the big coin because they don't want to be siphoned out of the country like the human body the organs on the resale market are worth probably two thousand dollars so if i go to the bank and i say lend me two thousand dollars and i'm going to go murder somebody in the street and sell their organs to pay back your loan the bank would say ok great here's to the. thousand dollars go murder people ok when you remove the organs and sell them that person dies and when you do these leveraged buyouts for the private equity firms you blow out the jobs you ruin the competitiveness of the economy you stick a dagger into the heart of the u.s. economy and you're laughing while you're doing it and you're being funded by money

and zero percent interest rate from the federal reserve unlimited quantities of money they say there's no inflation of course is don't fly because they want to keep interest rates near zero to give private equity firms like k.k. are that was around during the one nine hundred eighty s. and the kravis is a financial terrorist set of many times i care i know i know you say that all the time but here i mean they can they pick if they are in court a family actually they are repeat offenders so let's say bain capital who is involved in this destruction of toys r us also help mitt romney yes and he also destroyed bain capital also was behind the destruction of timber re which was one thousand two hundred eighty one stores which filed for bankruptcy in june although it's now are on opiates yet or in the heart shooting up smack because of mitt romney's bain and company creating a thousands of dead drug addicts certainly there will be no shops. to which chinese manufacturers can ship all these toys for america's children this

christmas but also these guys these three p. e. firms that own this turkey called toys r us did try to dump it on to the stupid chump of american investors the i.p.o. through the i.p.o. market also extracting enough cash from toys r us and loading up with debilitating pile of debt the three p. e. firms try to unload it to the unsuspecting public in an i.p.o. in two thousand and ten they were hoping for an additional payday the icing on the cake so to speak but they had to scuttle their efforts due to challenging market conditions and yet by the way they're they're going bankrupt bain capital's other gymboree another child's toy store sort of retail outlet has gone bankrupt despite the fact that industry sales have been robust growing at five percent in two thousand and sixteen and a compound annual rate of five percent since two thousand and thirteen so they've

managed to go bust on their this is these are the captains of industry these are the people that hang out with hillary and trump and elect our presidents and this is the model that they have for us and i think at this sort of point when the petro dollar is ending as you'll find out in a few minutes you know i think we need to start actually building wealth not having it stolen from us over and over and over and over and over and over again well the interest rates are going negative which is another way to steal wealth and these guys when they get power and they get money they go to washington and they change the laws like all the crimes are being committed today on wall street or talked about like lloyd blankfein of goldman sachs will say we're not committing any crimes of speech because even though he's doing the same crimes that sent them to these bankers to jail in the one nine hundred eighty s. during the savings along crisis they got government to change the laws so that those crimes are not illegal anymore so he's right he's not breaking the law anymore because he changed the law to make what was illegal or legal but the fact. is that he's undermining the economy along with all the other private equity firms

and washington bureaucrats in the federal reserve bank in the treasury department and their minions in the global banking system to extract wealth and the social cohesion risk as the economist magazine would put it is rising when people are on the streets rioting shooting at each other stabbing each other and that's the global insurrection against banker occupation right there buddy i don't think that's going to happen because this is why last headlines are more violence there was in the sixty's a lot more you used to live here in new york city like panthers you were the only real left wing group in america because you only live here in new york city what was the murder rate in the one nine hundred eighty three thousand the year over three thousand is three hundred now so it's not there it's not there because this final headline where have all the workers gone opioids the u.s. labor force participation princeton university economist alan krueger presented his latest paper where have all the workers gone an inquiry into the decline of the

u.s. labor force participation rate brookings institute in washington last week this is the result of these recent invest private equity extraction vulture funds destroying the u.s. economy labor force participation rate as you see through the sixty's and seventy's boom times for participation people were participating in the market that's a lot of women also going into the market and now it's turned over the all of the time to look correlation doesn't necessarily equal causation but there's a direct link he says alan krueger study shows between opioid addiction and unemployment and absence of participation in the market so he doesn't know which comes first but they definitely are linked and suggest as are solution that perhaps there should be more jobs and therefore opioid addiction will probably go down because they are linked together however if we have private equity extracting interest. weighing all these companies how are we going to ever have jobs if they

just destroy everything so this is a new phillips curve so instead of fighting the phillips curve time employment to inflation year and tying opiate addiction to two to employment just to stay speaker while we just create a new curve it's called the stacy curve are you just could be repeating that i do see askers stacy was right stacy has curves the stacey has yet to earth what is this the stacy curve so krueger's have i'm finding is that an increase in opioid prescriptions from one thousand nine hundred to twenty fifteen possibly accounts for about twenty percent of the observed decline and men's labor force participation so that's a huge impact yeah well i say bobby seale and the black panthers i mean that's civil rights increase jobs for women and blacks and then they put them in jail and they and they cut out women's rights and reproductive rights and it's all messed up well we got to go to a break but we're back don't go away. a

i. tried to medication is widespread on the us market and a frequent cause of death. like everything was ashes my family was literally coming unglued i had actually planned. to commit some site water or who has made antidepressants so commonly used we were doing what the doctors told us to do we were being responsible and what the real side effects. was is gellatly alter what i did was done on a cocktail of legal drugs. just because

something's legal doesn't mean it's safe. in case you're new to the game this is how it works the economy is built around corporate corporations from washington to washington. voters elected to businessman to run this country business if. you must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. welcome back to the kaiser report i'm max kaiser time now to turn to economist author lawyer spoke jam records author of currency wars the road to ruin the new case for gold welcome back jam thanks max great to be with you this is true are you a spoke well depends on your definition but. you know work for

a long time for the u.s. intelligence community the cia director national intelligence got one of my. how it's on today this is probably the viewer can't read it says the united states director of the director of national intelligence you know i once. i once recruited a friend i'm not going to mention the name but a very very prominent. hedge fund operator new york stock exchange specialist one of the saddest guys ever to set foot on wall street to come with me to langley headquarters to do where's a red team exercise we were working on involving a terrorist finance and really good guy he asked me if he could lend us helicopter then i said no i said even the president the united states does not get to flies or encounter langley you have to go by car so we can go to a nearby airport and we got them and we're sitting in. a conference room and because most of the rooms have no windows for security reasons they're there they

call them vaults and i said i turned and i said you know we take a break i'll take you down the gift shop you can get some souvenirs i guess there's no gift shop here this is cia headquarters this is langley is no gift shop i said yeah that's a good shop as i can i mean i can't mention the number of employees there i said this like you know in some ways it's like any other office you've got not everybody's the director essential tells us you got this like a starbucks in there you know there's people like to buy at ceasars you know this because there's no good he kept saying it was no good i said there was well of course it was a gift shop we would then and this particular individual hits seven children and he left with been shopping bags you know a t. shirts hats so a lot of memorabilia so i got a bunch of stuff like that but but you can't buy the anywhere else and very very rarely sold online so it is kind of cool souvenir yeah ok great anecdotal story you know i read this headline and i merely thought of how to get on.

the forecasts your forecast is coming through ok so here's the headline china has apparently created a yuan priced oil contract immediately convertible into golf so what's the product one. launch tell us about the defense of that the family was read your books including currency wars on the road to rio and it's that or are they they now this is right in your wheel house this is jim records land tell us about it personal max thank you for mention those books and currency wars touched on this and the road to ruin my most recent book touched on it but the one title he left out which actually goes right to this issue is called the death of money that was my two thousand and fourteen book but they're all they all cover the different facets of the international monetary system and. what we are i get into a lot of controversy i describe this i describe the steps i describe how it's unfolding and people you know seem to have very short attention spans and they seem

to think these things happen overnight and you know see a say something in a day goes by and it doesn't happen so you know you're an idiot because it doesn't happen said no listen to me this is going to unfold in stages it's coming get ready now what are you waiting for i actually got a tweet the other day you know very nice person said hey jim can you tell me how i can store my gold in a safe deposit box so i can convert to cash in three hours. and i want i don't give individual investment as i deserve these things but i don't that's him directly but just from a general term i wouldn't put michael in the set deposit box because you know the time you want your gold the most is when the banks are going to be close so there's a conditional correlation there put your go in the place not going to be able to get it when you want it but leaving that aside the mentality is you know hey jim call me the day before and i'll get ready and i keep saying no i'm not going to know the day before this is going to cascade out of control you need to get ready now but specifically to your point max what's happening is this announcement was

a big deal announcement i agree with you will explain it for the viewers but it's really a matter of china cobbling together two or three different things so some years ago they launched the shanghai gold exchange and this is a wholesale physical cash for gold exchange you can sell them gold you can. by gold it's it's you know very by our standards actually fairly fairly fairly liberal i've been to china recently i met with the largest gold dealers in china i see b.c. some of the other banks over there you know to talk about this then they launched a gold futures contract. we will know to go futures contract is its paper gold but you can buy or sell forward and then of course china is the biggest importer of oil in the world and they buy a lot of their oil from saudi arabia and from russia russia is the largest exporter of oil in the world and of course their currency is the want so see have all these different pieces of gold futures physical gold you won russian export and so it's

all they did and this is now says they combined all this is ok here's the deal you sell us oil. and instead of paying you dollars and that goes back to the petro dollar deal of one nine hundred seventy four and we'll we'll talk about that in mental images finish this explanation but you sell us oil will pay you one but hey russia iran iran's another big oil export or you guys say what are you going to with the you want so we'll tell you what you can compare your you won spot to gold on the shanghai gold exchange so it's as if you sold us the oil for gold and obeidi the way if you don't like the exchange risk you can go to the go futures market and hedge that risk so now by combining all these different elements in effect we've got a you won benchmark price for oil that's a big deal that's the end of the petrodollar deal i was actually my first official visit to the white house was in one nine hundred seventy four and i met with helen sonnenfeld who was henry kissinger's deputy and at that time what we did we were

discussing what to do about the original oil crisis which goes back to ninety seven when remember nixon took the dollar off the gold standard one nine hundred seventy one that's very well known but the gold standard didn't and overnight it was kind of two or three years of stumbling and bumbling are we going to have a goal of we going to devalue the dollar go back to gold the new level you know france want to gold the u.s. says was a whole fuzzy period between one thousand seven hundred seventy three but the one nine hundred seventy three the arabs were fed up because inflation it kicked in they said we're not going to take we're not going to sell you or oil for dollars anymore because we're not confident the day of the dollar in the iris or buy gold and we kissinger secretary of the treasury at the time when simon is chief deputy general parsky kissinger stephanie helm and some of the others and again sonnenfeld is a guy i met with in the white house where what would we do about this one of the plans when i was discussing with kissinger's deputy was invading saudi arabia sousing

security perimeter taking over the oil fields and basically not stealing the money but just selling at a price we like for dollars and then holding the. money in trust for the for the saudis you can get your money and social security for the whole country. i think the smart that that was not the plan that the us pursued the plan they did pursue is a petrodollar geo where we said to the arabs say look you guys sell us it will for dollars and we'll take the dollars and put it in the bank and in effect guarantee a stable dollar and then we'll take the dollars and lend it to people who can buy more oil from you so i went around the circle that was the original petro dollar deal with some ups and downs with a spike in gold one nine hundred eighty and some inflation of the united states from seventy seven in one nine hundred eighty eighty one to said there were problems along the way but that petro dollar deal howells until last week and now we have the you won. the petro you want deal if you want to call it that oil is

going to be priced in chinese yuan but the yuan is not particularly desirable currency in china saying no problem with back it up with go well that's reflection of the fact that china spent the last ten years quadruple in the gold reserves you couldn't do that you couldn't stand up to the market and say bring in your you want we'll give you gold unless you have some gold and china's reserves have gone from about six hundred tons in two thousand and six to officially one thousand eight hundred tonnes but that's a bogus figure this every reasonably that china has closer to five thousand tonnes perhaps more that's a little bit of detective work i do some of it others have worked on this problem but we know chinese mining output of four and fifty tonnes a year we know chinese imports to honk on we know swiss exports to china we have enough data and we know they operate through military channels by the way my contacts in the gold dealing community china confirmed that for me when i was there in shanghai not long ago i said community army to move the gold around and he said

we're not allowed to carry guns i said yeah you're right there's you know in the states if you if you try to rob a brinks for armored car they have guns but in china no one is allowed to have guns except the military so that's why the military is involved in it we put it all together china probably has more than five thousand tonnes maybe a lot more and so they're now standing up to the market there are some in the role that the united states abandoned in one nine hundred seventy one the problem is we still don't have a fixed price china is still not there saying if you give us you won you can get gold yes they're saying that but it's not at a fixed rate the price of the you want still floats the price of gold still flows to nominate dollars you're as you want or any other currency so a simple sketchy and their solution is wells sell the sell the go forward on the shanghai futures exchange if you want to lock in let's say a dollar price or a euro price or any other price so it's still not. a completely rock solid gold standard but is getting really close we're getting closer and closer to the point

where the dollar is like the mexican peso it will be it will be a local currency if you come into new york you'll need some dollars for you know taxi money but it won't be the the leading benchmark global reserve currency and there i would look for not the yuan so much but the i.m.f. as you are the special drawing right so jim you know when countries try to sell oil on something other than the u.s. dollar the cia or body stent assassinate him yet saddam hussein taken out by the cia had moammar gadhafi taken out by the cia because they try to sell oil energy in something other than the u.s. dollar so are they going to incur the wrath of the cia and by the way i just checked online to the cia gift shop and they do have copies of john perkins confessions of an economic set man for sale which i thought was kind of ironic but jim. is this going to abide in langley i thought that they were this is the cardinal sin of global finance never sell oil anything but dollars jim. well i have

no comment on any of that max and you know such nation is illegal under u.s. law and i have no comment on what any particular agency is going to do but i would i would observe the following by the way i was a little annoyed that the cia get shot didn't have my book i was in the process of talking to them about that but they do a very nice bookstore there i was able to pick up a copy of george tenet's biography and actually have it autographed by a former cia director at tennis that's another. book i keep in my library my my autograph books collection so look let's see how it plays out you know politically i would say the cases you mentioned are interesting in the following sense i look at the. not so much as it relates to golden dollars as it relates to the north korean nuclear program because people say you know what's wrong with kim jong un is he crazy he's developing. nuclear weapons he's developing in

a continental ballistic missiles he's mastered the uranium and plutonium enrichment process he's meshal technology is getting close to the point where he can miniaturize the bomb put it on a warhead on a missile and take out not just seattle or los angeles but you cagr new york. let's follow up on that in another segment if you can hang on there we'll do another segment and get into the north korea thanks for being on the kaiser report you're welcome all right well that's going to do it for this edition of the kaiser report with me max kaiser and stacey i would like to thank our guests jim records famous author and all around nice guy if you want to reach us on twitter it's kaiser report until next time by all. the yes no muscle and. he's not. states claims it was behind the month just

the local blogs selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles that don't. produce offspring to tell you that what we gossip the public but most importantly. off of advertising telling you on the cool enough to buy their product. that we all have our. watch. well you know the fires they were kind of adopted because we were called pirates a lot. i mean they're in the small ball and sniffed at our poor ships and it's scary. but. the little self the big tall fish already ninety percent of it are god and it won't recover from.
