and on top of the last sixteen and. a authorizes ten point one billion to work here ninety j. s.f. aircraft an increase of two point six billion and twenty aircraft above the administration's request so yeah great so apparently how it works in the military industrial complex is if you're really bad at your job if you aren't good at staying anywhere near a budget and you can just spend as much as american taxpayer dollars possible you get the contract and maybe the jet works maybe a dozen well i mean where does it end. speaking of charger we love hardware we love toys right well you know it's all about this one point one billion brown nosers serial on one of them one abrams tanks talk about toys one point five billion for littoral combat ships might not be probes and read correctly is a waste billed military project basically because this is ships are riddled with costs over over cross mechanical issue design flaws and others to keep the serbs

from being effective and basically will become not operational but there was a lot of billion on the barbie. well and then there's also jeff bezos oh fantastically this twenty team and d.n.a. and d.n.a. also provides for the d. c. years if this makes any sense to anybody commercial e-commerce portals to help streamline the acquisition process i don't know i guess you can you know buy on line missiles now so the idea is the acquisition process through this use of competitive and simplified online markets which would be you know your ninety three billion dollars market to e-commerce portals which you know hey amazon is sponsible for about half of all e-commerce sales so great jeff bezos gets even more money you know but it was a gracious himself with the cia the washington post. a

drunk driving related death and okinawa has resurrected long held objections to the united states military base there just before dawn on sunday november nineteenth a twenty one year old u.s. marine allegedly ran a red light and struck the vehicle of a sixty one year old japanese man killing him with a marine only suffering minor injuries while the official cause of the crash has not been determined a representative from the okinawa police department doesn't he go. confirm to the u.s. government funded voice of america the marines blood alcohol content was three times the legal limit when he was arrested now the u.s. military is confined all u.s. service people in japan to their residences and they are not allowed to buy or consume alcohol on or off the base this comes less than a year after u.s. department of defense funded stars and stripes reported on the drug and drunk driving awareness and prevention campaign which was signed in december of two thousand and sixteen by marine corps lieutenant general lawrence nicholson running for three months last year it sought to fix the problem of excessive alcohol use on

and off the military base but drinking and socializing with locals is sadly a major part of having a military base in a foreign country so toshio. local bar gallery owner as well as the chairman of the can town bar owners association noted that u.s. service members are an interval part of can town's nightlife when no records are around in the entertainment district there are no japanese either a good community relationship may be important for the military but we do need americans in our community so we must work together and work together we must because if we can't respect ourselves enough to refrain from driving while intoxicated while a guest in someone else's country how can we expect others to respect us good question good good good question you know good sperry curious about. drinking in the military in general is that it's increased thirty five percent since. it started thirty five percent. it's gone from ten years it went from forty percent of

those to twelve point increase of a record and that's within the military and that's just in the military and they always run higher than average so that. the one half of the military between ninety nine and two thousand what what little things may have led to this excessive binge drinking that we're seeing. well i mean we have a lot of stuff is sort of post work crimes of an hour or so the national institute sorry there was data from local government and police and what they said was that between may of ninety nine nine hundred seventy two and twenty sixteen oaken now has had a total of just five hundred and said this is from last year five hundred seventy six haina what they call heinous crimes this is murder rape robbery these are things were violence was has occurred they were all committed by u.s.

military personnel sort of or a six hundred of these crimes and twenty sixteen some of those and some of you may have heard of these on this show we talked about a little before may twenty seventh and twenty sixteen you had navy seaman apprentice just aghast autos pleaded guilty to raping a japanese woman he found passed out in the hallway of his hotel he got two and a half years of hard labor. and. want to make sure before we go there was another case which is going on right now it's a thirty three year old former marine and civilian worker at the base who is now on trial right now for the rape and murder of a twenty year old a japanese woman in okinawa in april twenty sixth that there were protests there because of the severity i mean really a severe her body she was stabbed it was beaten and he sort of hid the body tragedy all room it's usually one or another is like while they were in mourning for that one another one happened this is a major issue and i feel it just it goes back to this week a marriage. time when it was war and we were what i do and you see this happening

all around the world with these bases yeah you know and things that alcoholism it's prostitution it's human and out of that and that's the i mean the sort of related crime when you see binge drinking job you know twelve points in a ten year period and then you ask yourself what happened in that period you know one must step back and say oh look we suddenly went into all these false wars right now we're suddenly having people look. good reason you know and you get all this p.t.s.d. plus you have that inherent culture of heavy drinking that you see next to military bases and parties on central around military base a lot of sex trafficking and other things happen like that and especially in japan you know where it we are an occupying force right a world war two as you pointed out fifty thousand there's about fifty thousand troops and then u.s. troops and half of them are in okinawa while and that's i mean because when they locked everyone across the whole island fifty thousand troops there and what

because the russians are going to come in. as we're going to break hogwash we're going to let us know what you think about the offer to cover from page book and twitter see our poll shows at our dot com coming up i sat down with legendary journalist john pilger the scope of the rising tensions between the united states treasury and the us asia pivot policy state to watch the whole.

welcome to the wonderful world of blood donation them out i come here every three weeks to get my transfusion to be specific i receive immunoglobulin that my body gets and some bodies that i cannot produce itself around the world giving blood is seen as a symbol of generosity and does this because it helps people it's just that one of the side effects is needed. this the plasma burn put the money on your car immediately you don't have all plasma based drugs today come from private companies and are produced from paid plasma the smallest compromise of the role. and. one of the risks of paid donation in it then is proof that the frequency of pathologies is much higher paid. in it. if i

was. over two years old he was. in the money using the drug and who runs the blood business. hey everybody i'm stephen ball task hollywood guy. ever proud american first of all i'm just george bush and r.v. this is my buddy max famous financial guru just a little bit different. i know with no doubt with all the drama happening in our country i'm shooting the road have fun every day americans. look for the start to bridge the gap this is the great american people.

years ago i traveled across the united states exploring america's deadly love affair with the gun bad guy tried to get to my family member as he would have. my babies since my book was published in the year two thousand more than hoffa million americans have been killed by firearms in the u.s. side. we did this is a middle school we go through drills and we put ourselves in real scenarios it was interesting to see who actually got hit by the gun i just saw i did to return to the subject to track down each gun owner who i'd met and photograph those years you've got i don't know this but we are not for all.

people. they call me a useful idiot i'm useful idiot you called me a useful idiot a useful idiot useful idiots go expressing my opinions on t.v. there are thousands of us doing it behind his record is the same strategy we attack persons instead of talking about the org what's next why stop will feel badly from getting this close to the white house i'm with a group code pink why not ban the color pink one hour stretch beyond the right i should be sent to the town because i want to try to break me on the wheel i have put up with a long time with this sort of nonsense you don't scare me more skill ross and i'll continue to voice my opinion i'll continue to speak out i'm in good company i'm in good company you're going to lose me you want to do this because we're freezing cold.

this week u.s. president donald trump announced that he's putting north korea back on the list the state sponsors of terrorism list that is and the move that will most certainly continue to turn the heat up between the two nuclear powers and with tensions between moscow and washington d.c. continuing to simmer right along and the new cold war over the alleged russian meddling in the twenty sixteen president's election it is important to my journalistic voices in the world who are going to give you the honest truth as they see it and are not going to go along to get along and that's just watching the hostile ventre i was looking for when he sat down with iconic journalist documentary filmmaker john pilger to discuss his latest documentary on the united states pivot policy and just how close we are to a war of nuclear catastrophe. do you see this becoming. a cold war as intense as it was with you know the u.s.

and the soviets or is this going to turn. i'm not a futurist to realize can make those predictions about one only has to go to the people who study this so the panel headed by general james cartwright some music he spoke of a window of decision making when people. with the responsibility for strategic nuclear weapons have to make a decision and that window has close to something between eight and ten minutes so miscalculation mistake and accident they the the the the the progeny of of of of of the kind of provocation but we're seeing at the moment the rules the rules. 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 cove 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 on osprey porting has been so abandoned when the new york times the other day i could run. a lone so-called investigation by someone called scott shray who was a apparently a reporter that about about these russian trolls that subverting the great american bureaucracy democracy one of these polls is

a sixty six year old. person in the midwest though someone who believes that hillary clinton was a war monger while she was a warmonger but that apparently qualifies iran used to be. libya used to be iraq syria is held on. russia and china big crime is there in the past and yet and yet so full of its. i think i've never known that kind of censorship in the united states even at the height of the great wars and china mentioned earlier that kind of eight to ten minute. you know window and the fear of nuclear war and you wrote recently an article referenced the classic novel and film on the beach which is star gregory pags wonderful film i like the very much it tells the

story of kind of the world in a in a 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 that whether that that final gap will close is i don't know as i say i think. the point made in by never shooting these book and of course in the film was that that it. there was it and 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 and the united states and i think held by and something and no one knew no one was sure how to actually stop what triggered it well that's if nuclear war does start.

i think the same will be true i don't believe although there are some truly. worrying disturbing and possibly insane 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 the survey of for yes but there's a lot to that are we poking him to kind of poking north korean can join him to justify that encircled moment of china you know to give it that kind of prieto we have to worry about north korea and that the meantime so nobody knows that we're

kind of moving this military machine but it it's north korea is used america's dominance that the world needs it from madmen certainly to china and that's the last thing they need the north and denuclearizing korea there was what was called even george w. bush. agreed to list back and keep this from happening but it's a very good example and if you want ho know the corrupt version of her that is become a campaign slogan. promoted the but i think there is real hope. in a place like where 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

then they had to cross the waters the island of jeju which. has been. demonstrating its its need for peace so for many years. i think all around the world there is no question that'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 all really i think the heroes felt time it is making their voices heard so is that so many of us hear them and join with them as is being done in the paul stainless city in new york in the nineteen eighties a million people fill the streets of manhattan in the freeze movement and that

was to freeze the stationing of nuclear weapons in europe we now have according to nato documents circulating in germany. the intermediate range nuclear treaty is about to be torn up that means they'll be able to to base. intermediate range nuclear weapons across europe. highbrows society practically mandates that you one load your scorn and ridicule on the people who put up christmas lights and reindeer the day after all we but according to recent findings these social misfits are actually on to something as it turns out putting up christmas decorations directly affects your happiness and emotional wellbeing by showering you with happiness dull dick memories and connecting you with your childhood and not only our early decorators emotionally well adjusted stas new studies also show their offbeat timing may help them make

friends in the neighborhood because as claimed in the journalism environmental psychology over the top holiday decorations tend to. communicate accessibility and friendliness in the community so hop watchers next time you throw shade at that one house that has rudolph and an army of gingerbread men out weeks before thanksgiving or that one house ties house decided to put up a nine put five foot spider or to celebrate holloway think again because at the end of the day these people like mr ventura may just have found the key to taking holiday cheer to the max level. there was a lot of work that i put up there was a pretty cool looking for a spider always it turns out you are tasking times are terrible sorry larry it was it was three little kids and i got to do oh no i'm sorry about not that i'm for the spider. but a real one and i'm for you know santa claus are i remember dressed up the spider

asked what a klutz clothes are going in this world are about all of your loved up so i tell you all that i love you i rolled with her i'm top of the wall and people are watching those who are great made everybody. feel like the fans are democrats they have the problem of putting all their efforts into chasing the fake rush again hoax and they're not therefore they don't have the resources to go field new candidates that might have a chance of twenty. if they were to drop the russia gate house and focus on just finding candidates to run if they might have a chance but at this rate they don't have a chance which means that they probably won't have a chance at twenty one in. the village of collect

she has been nicknamed sleepy hollow if lukas residents have to sleep with him this . right. over the course just daniel to. you how do you write your initial. concern that separate the most attention and sort of but i'm also going on with the question you're still talking superthin you've got to go back to the shipment of sweet. smell to granny grass from where did you do what we have are doing. this with all. the washington this is. my cylinder did you have pastels there of the. first point i think.

i simply. sat still didn't have ten mile from the independent when he just left with. the council of the placenta i went up at a sauna we were meeting there. i. was the set of my love and respect i think that made all the now with jamie as a hunk was the only. now it's a bad thing. but because hell i don't known him for that matter i see let him make what we have it would be in the marrow have gone floating cause i gave up because of me. see he said no when i would.
