because their minds might not be able to contemplate and understand fake news because here's another headline poland central bank secretly paid you to burgers to slander kryptos so a polish youtube or with around one million subscribers was paid about thirty thousand dollars by the central bank of poland in collaboration with the polish financial supervision authority to portray crypto currencies and the negative light without disclosing the payment and the video now here is the difference between. paying you know you tubers to descript o.-o. d.c. any bit corners crying saying oh my god big queens being undermined our institutions are blocked cim is being undermined by these people being paid by the central bank to discard currency you know because we're like bring it on like nothing's going to take it down we have faith and our foundations and our institutions and our and what we believe in we have faith in it we don't like you

can say whatever you want to about it you can say all the fund you want in the world doesn't matter we don't have that same sort of conspiracy theory minded absence of faith and our own beliefs such as michael pollan but quite expose them they were just a little bit criminally minded and a little bit psychotic and run by bad actors and serial fraudsters but good coin exposed central bank of poland to be out right fraudsters and criminals so thank you but going to a central bank of paul and that has no credibility well in the second half we have a really special guest that i'm really excited to find out who it is stay tuned don't go away about. the rebuttal from stephen. to. you every

american first of all i'm just george bush and. this is my buddy max bemis financial guru where he's a little bit different. going to. go the drama happening in our country and. every day americans. we start to bridge the gap this is the great american. what. about your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself and taken your

last wrong turn. to caught up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry suddenly i could so i write these last words and 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 change you talked about war like it was again still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters in mind it's consumed with death this one difference i speak to now as there were no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker.

welcome back to the kaiser report imax keyser time now to turn to one of america's preeminent journalists a follower of the new journalism school talked about by tom wolfe i think gone back to the seventy's. as a go next very good thanks for being on the show and as i make that comparison to the new journalism school new journalism because at that time just as a quick digression here this idea that the truth versus facts and facts can be kind of plain. don't necessary give the truth and writers like yourself that are gifted with the language can offer a truth that is transcendent and that we saw this in your bank a rolling stone in times like goldman sachs and you galvanized people's imagination with the fam pyar squid that's a great turn of phrase i mean it really put into context what this is all about and now and subsequently what your books in your article as you've continued in that vein bringing really good journalism to the fore and so let's get into what you've

been talking about recently as a new nuclear posture review the n.p.r. you'd never know it watching cable news but you're right that this n.p.r. shows that the president and the people around him believe in the usability of nuclear weapons to talk about this right that would be one of the main features of the president's new nuclear posture review is this idea that they should completely revamp our nuclear arsenal and they should focus on more flexibility in our nuclear by which the essentially they mean they want to design nuclear weapons that have a smaller payload we can hiroshima size payload so that they can countenance the use of nuclear weapons without completely destroying humanity which is crazy basically because anybody who's in the scientific community will tell you that a very very limited exchange of nuclear weapons potentially destroys the entire world for a. environmental reasons but the trump posture review pretty much says this openly

and i go to the present this country because there's only one story in this country and it's you know trumps ongoing you know scandals right down go interim scandal they rushed the gate story you know this is interesting you know and i guess part and parcel of the you're talking about here is that you know the end of the cold war featured what with reagan and gorbachev some agreements between the two countries to scale back on atomic weaponry and there was an agreement not to go east with nato and there was a detente and there was reproach mall and there was peace in the valley and that lasted for a while but then apparently there's been heating up recently the cold war is back i guess because it does time to nuke question and what how do you how did that for people say how did this cold war and becoming a hot again like what triggered that in your view i think it's

a variety of factors going back to what you were saying you know it's amazing to think that even at the very peak of the cold war when reagan was calling the soviet union an evil empire and you know gorbachev was this is the precursor of that is that they were coming up with agreements like start and salt. because even at a time when they were most motivated financially politically in every respect to keep building nuclear weapons they knew that it was a bad policy and they had a number of near misses both sides did over the years and all the way up through two thousand and eleven and two thousand and twelve russia and america continually work to kind of scale back. the nuclear arsenal even at the height of the cold war there was an idea to scale back on atomic weaponry because it was so crazy yes read it both countries realize that you know michel this destruction was assured if the wind went down this path and they were but that somehow that got flipped now and now there is this. idea under trump the current posturing is that actually tomic

weapons it's acceptable the scale if you do the right way roll down a small nuke so it goes to repudiate an entire line of thinking so that's very very dangerous right and yours and stop being covered because the mainstream media seems focused elsewhere so talk a little bit about i guess how dangerous is it i mean you've done the work on it so what are we talking about here how what level of danger are we at well i mean i talked about this before the election with trump the one thing you know when you're thinking about donald trump getting elected potentially this is a person who has almost no attention span who acts almost before he thinks he tweets he bypasses his entire staff to go do things he speaks directly to the public is an extremely impulsive individual and he starts things with other countries potentially you know but with through tweets or whatever this is the worst case scenario is an early use of nuclear weapons the one thing he would want to make sure of if he got elected was that this question was paid attention to

constantly and it's not mean we he's with his various kerfuffles with north korea and with this nuclear posture review he's made you know the kind of the world is significantly more dangerous place but we're not paying as much attention to it as we probably should i think this is the one area where everybody should be keeping an eye on trump card how do you see overall so far in the trump era what was been kind of the biggest surprises for you so far in the first year now that he's been in office the first thing i would say is that i expected. this huge reckoning within the democratic party yeah after after the loss to be after trump got elected my first thought was wow they're going to look back and say how can we lose this guy and say we have to completely rethink how we do business and overhaul their entire apparatus. and that didn't happen we what we've instead have is were kind of

stuck in a kind of perpetual two thousand and sixteen this sort of russia good scandal has kept those sort of frozen in time continually reliving getting all the issues over the election season and trump trumps administration has essentially been frozen in place by this one over a crisis that has dominated the news dominated his presidency dominated politics i mean everything has to keep coming back to this one story and it's been it's been amazing and strange to watch you know you're a shrewd observer of the media and you write about it and you're part of it and i want to get a comment on something that seems like something remarkable this happened you know thirty years ago in texas on public access cable a little known guy the mouse john started this thing and he became very big and before the twenty sixteen kicked off or trompe visited alex jones and kind of kicked off his campaign and a lot of people would get put alex jones in the camp of

a conspiracy theorist and someone who is constantly you know bending the facts to suit the narrative that is some may consider wild but then you look at cable t.v. and like rachel maddow who is number one in cable today and she now sounds exactly like alex jones she's got nothing the conspiracy theory so we show it has become the defacto model for news america what do you think of that observation and what does that tell us i think you're you're right on i mean i might not characterize ritual exactly that way but you know i saw this coming in the summer of two thousand and sixteen that there was a very very sharp polarization that was going on within the media community we were reporters were talking about it they were discussing the idea that we had to become more actively partisan. trump was so much of a threat that we had to quote unquote do more to. prevent present his. and c and so that kind of old school boring third person let's reset the news dispassionately

version of journalism just vanish from the landscape and now everything has gravitated towards what you know what you're exactly right it's the alex jones model it's the sort of fulminating. anger inducing kind of rhetoric that is very very popular and makes a lot of money and also i mean this is a key factor in the one thing that people forget about the trump presidency is that he's making the media a fortune i mean c.n.n. made a billion dollars last year in the media has has been looking at the climbing fortunes for decades no but soon a stroke came along he's he's made us all a lot of money and i think that has affected coverage tremendously. as leading up to the campaign and you know that over the c.b.s. in the way broadcast an empty podium waiting for john and he would say this guy is probably very dangerous i'm paraphrasing but nevertheless he's making us lots of money so the media you know that famous from of the you know the tail wagging the

dog with dustin hoffman talking about the campaign and they kind of cooking up the . paranoid schizophrenia kind of crazy schemes to get people in office and the media had they had doesn't often playing a movie producer to concoct a story and so that's become the go to scenario now it's just all this think this is all you think about this phrase fake name is like what does that mean exactly yeah it's interesting because one of the problems is the entire kind of modern system of commercial media. designed to make fake news or something like fake news viable it's financially viable to do to do short blasts of angry rhetorical journalism right increasingly every single year we see more and more people are getting all their information from mobile devices not just tablets now but especially phones so what p. . who are looking for something they can see on their phone and watch for like ten

or fifteen seconds or thirty seconds and the stuff that's really really popular is alex jones style journalism that's the stuff that really really works with this medium and so it's these little me little little you know sensational headlines that's what everybody is trying to do is what be quick and right now you write typically as a piece of rolling stones what three thousand words four thousand more in six thousand words i said doesn't fit on a tweet it doesn't fit into a. twitter friendly environment and you know people like me were dinosaurs and you know every generation says that the political divide in america seems to go sharper and sharper but you know this generation you know is watching this group of you know the students in florida who have been now tragically gunned down and they that they seem like they're motivated now they're coming out and saying you know you're threatening us we are fighting for our lives like the generational divide at this particular moment seems really the sharpest has been in a long long time how do you think what your thoughts on that i think we're becoming

more polarized than ever for sure but you're right this next generation the younger generation the morning older generation and younger they're more politically active . in a specific way and maybe my generation was in other words we what we had the sixty's then we went in like the eighty's or was a very go go raw raw reagan esque top gun was a big movie and of django as dick and then we went to a very heavy pop says' like pop became like the prevailing cultural norm of mixed in with a little hip hop but now i mean it seems like we're all the way back to maybe the kent state days these kids are like you're trying to kill us yeah we don't want to get killed you know is that what it is that a possibility it's really interesting because i think. in my generation or it kids in my generation grew up listening to. our parents who were the sixty's kids and they had

a more ironic take on everything right like you know their parents had been incredibly earnest you know fighters for causes and then they of course grew up and wanted to business and their kids saw them as kind of phony isn't fakers and they had this kind of jaded ironic take on everything which is why you know the eighty's and ninety's were a generation that was really ripe for like stand up comedy and humor and offbeat tyrell expire a magazine that kind of thing and now we're the pendulum is swinging back the other way i think this next generation of looking at my generation and saying you guys didn't take politics seriously enough you left us with with idiots like trump that office and now we have to get serious and clean up your mess and i think that's what's coming is a new wave of kind of earnestness and seriousness and anger and you know it's not it's not might be dead it might be did irony is dying yeah exactly like you say for the segment absolutely all that's going to do with this edition of the kaiser stacy when i guess that i'm me if you're right just on twitter it's kaiser report it's

like. fifty years ago breaking it within to come together as a sleeping pill. does. something that thinks what terrible. across europe. legal battles demanding at least some compensation. to waste the physical damage itself as well as the constant mind that the people who take this call it has never been able to justice and it has been the come. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of

head on to not a terrorist or shelter humanitarian corridor or in series east and shortly after it was established preventing civilians from leaving the water on district also to come the israeli soldiers arrest ten people in a raid on a palestinian village including a fifteen year old. boy with the severe head injury allegedly inflicted by the i.d.f. three months ago and a computer recycling it in the u.s. faces jail and a hefty fine to the pirates in microsoft software but he insists he was only trying to refurbish all the precincts. i think it was helping people extend the life cycle of their electronics to combat planned obsolescence and to make sure that we keep as much working product out of landfills as possible.

so that work can you watching our international this tuesday afternoon watch just gone four o'clock here in moscow now we start with syria where terrorists have shelled a humanitarian corridor established to allow civilians to leave the war ravaged enclave of eastern ghouta just outside the capital damascus that's according to russia's defense ministry which helps set up the routes before it was attacked just minutes later with these are pictures from the corridor check point on the side of the government controlled territory to to the terrorists shelling civilians haven't been able to take the opportunity to leave the area r.t. arabic correspondent well for sure bruni is on the ground in damascus and visited the checkpoint. at the had no civilians have come out of the corridor yet minutes after it was opened the area was shelled five times

and several syrian soldiers were injured now crews have also been firing at those patrolling the corridor like you why civilians are in using this route out. while the some cooter is located just outside the syrian capital has been occupied by various rebel in terror groups for years the violence there recently escalated to both sides accusing each other of targeting civilians the new humanitarian corridor or set up by russia just in the north. is located near the camp where the humanitarian efforts to provide safe passage for those desperate to escape are being coordinated with the syrian red crescent buses and ambulances are on standby to evacuate civilians and people inside the rebel enclave are being notified about the location of the corridor via leaflets text alerts and also loudspeakers first aid points have also been set up near the exit to help those in need of urgent medical assistance however despite these efforts it's feared civilians will be

prevented by rebels from leaving the war zone what against the expects. civilians dying they're dying from rebel shells from government bombs from bullets shrapnel and crossfire in damascus and in east ghouta the u.n. cease fire is dead on arrival no one stops shooting so the syrians are trying their own way humanitarian corridors backed by russia thousands of these leaflets being dropped over east ghouta by syrian helicopters there are instructions for civilians on how to get out of the war zone maps with arrows follow them if you dare women of all the jews and children reportedly continued to be forbidden by local armed groups from leaving the area for security reasons they've done it before in aleppo is limited rebels wouldn't let anyone out

they shot at civilians trying to feed to government held areas they shelled humanitarian crossings and if you made it out that punish your relatives same story in ghouta this is been going on for years the evidence indicates that non-state armed groups in eastern guta and in particular josh islam are also responsible for inflating the price of food and other basic necessities they're arbitrarily restricting the movement of civilians wishing to leave and abducting and arbitrarily detaining people. you'd think this is important right all those pundits and activists screaming about good and not once have they asked the pertinent question. we welcome the security council's decision regarding a ceasefire because of the burden on our families and he said this suffering must be lifted the decision to stop the bloodshed caused by the regime innocent woman

the law. when the regime is not abiding by the un resolution i cannot stand still and watch and defend myself and our families in good time why are they still there despite their access to the spokesperson of the army of islam the jarvis group that holds east ghouta they have not asked him why his group is blocking woman and kids from leaving a war zone it's good press for him to stand there and complain that innocents are dying while meeting that they're dying big because his own rebel fighters won't let them leave the armed groups inside east ghouta will not allow those people to leave simply because the little they will be the next target after that it will deprive them from a very strong media arm because those civilian deaths among the civilian actually

created sympathy all over the middle east and all over the world i think human are you as you know a propaganda tool these bloody war and syria so with it will continue i don't believe it will stop but definitely with this according to your human humility included or actually could do it use that human casualties among those people. they will place to say we can get the thoughts now. in the syrian capital discusses but this is professor of politics political science at the masses universe the good afternoon. we hearing today that not a single civilian was over to use that humanitarian corridor to get out of eastern ghouta because of the actions of terrorists far corey draw more sure reaction to this what can be done g. think. thank you very much for having me

absolutely i think. from that time when the defense minister of russia declared there is a humanitarian corridor or is referred for the civilians from nine o'clock and closed door clock just to i think one hours ago the press minister for the first in moscow all said that this is positive step but why and today we are talking about a humanitarian corridor or the terrorists to girlz in eastern part of both are the score is or as the champagne i started the neighborhood of here a man here at the masters and there was never any shells so i think. that this is because there's a which the terrorist groups is fear thing in front of a military campaign which the syrian army is a started because this is their main originally behind but we should remember that

. is combustible why did board do this leave anyone to leave the iskandar provide in full for the castillo or humanitarian corridor or sam experience who we are. we are seeing today because they have the cars of this city and people even they will lose this car i think that they will lose everything because of drugs they will try not to. to be. forbidden for the to be able not to leave the eastern part of what are these negotiations which is going to day i think they will try to accuse the syrian government that they didn't observe the star wars of. victor waiting for this to be there before promised them bottles of water i think that we are in front of me now you of them. of people repeatedly but in different ways because of that we

should observe every day that there is not exist for civilian the boys there are hard and just is a system part of course there are but besides that i should mention that the terrorist groups are there with their own countries talking about four hundred thousand civilians in it so bad of both are broke symmetry between one hundred to two hundred fifty does not more than done ok we've only got about thirty seconds left but we know you're in damascus can you just describe the situation there to us at the moment is the situation improving since that un resolution was adopted the weekend and the ceasefire put in place. what i should explain to everyone who are is the hole is now watching us in especially in the western counties first of all don't believe your politicians they are lying every day secondly i am as

a civilian people and professor at university and working for given years i am every minute when i am living in my city in damascus i could feel killed by these terrorists globe the theory spline that there is not state in the war including in the words don't carry solve leave thousands of terrorists around its capital where they can their every minute every day as a nice attacking their civilian people at this him time the question is for the or many saudis would be a solve this if you wish and is now and today is. maybe more why must every minute. every minute maybe we can receive shells from that there is ok all the questions i asked this was this was the. final sure appreciate your time coming on to r.t. this afternoon could.
