instead it was like you're buying bonds to defeat the hun you know that killing babies in belgium this was this was his propaganda you know this if you're if you're against killing babies in belgium by us war bonds and so the whole war bond propaganda. that was the very first use of what we today call. public relations but you also had during world war one the beginnings of government propaganda on a much larger scale much of this was run through the committee on public information that was headed by george creel and and they were deliberately trying to manipulate the public to support the war and they did that on a lot of different fronts again during world war one this is the time when you had vast censorship where it was against the law to oppose the draft it was against the law to publicly speak against the war really and many very patriotic americans were

thrown into prison during world war one because they were opposing the war including eugene debs leading big bill haywood people who spoke out against world war one is being a war in which working class kids were being sacrificed in the name of profits for the big banks. in the one nine hundred thirty s. radio was the internet of its day and programs like the radio research project at princeton university was rockefeller foundation financing had already begun to discern that in the words of theodore dorn radio music listeners are not childlike but they are childish their primitivism is not done at the end developed but that of the forcibly retarded. frank stanton was one of the project's directors before

becoming president of c.b.s. news. program of. regular. and moving. in one nine hundred thirty eight orson welles created a national panic with his radio broadcast of h.g. wells' is war of the world it's about a quarter of the listeners on hollowing morning actually believed they were being invaded by the dread germans. three years later and attacked it coming not by germans or martian invaders but by the japanese one of the ironies is that many of the people who were going to be blacklisted and greylisting during the mccarthy period were the ones who were out there promoting the war and promoting war bonds

during the war in the hysteria of the early cold war anyone seen as pro-communist despite the soviets being america's strongest ally during the war were not subject to loyalty oaths background checks and even unemployment. while some hollywood actors like ronald reagan actually became f.b.i. informants others refused to disavow their first amendment freedom of political association during the witch hunt and september of nineteen forty seven we have got the first hearings about the hollywood ten as we've come to know that they actually called for forty one witness is nineteen of whom they expected to be hostile and those nineteen ten testified ten leading hollywood people seven of whom were writers only one was an actor but they claimed the first amendment and refused to answer a question. ins about their political affiliations based upon the first amendment

they were later found to be in contempt they were sent to prison in one nine hundred fifty these are people like dalton trumbo ring lardner lardner was the most highly paid and successful screenwriter in hollywood at the time i mean these are the top names these were academy award winners and they were clearly very very patriotic and they refused to talk about whether they had been members of the communist party there was nothing illegal about being a member of the communist party and given america's commitment to first amendment rights there was no reason why they should be called to testify about that but careers were ruined and my uncle was blacklisted all over crawford later became of the screen writers guild and. you know we do forget that hollywood was very complicit and while we talk about the you know there's a story the unfriendly ten writers like dalton trumbo who had written antiwar

scripts and now they are being labeled as communists because they weren't going along with the new militarism but remember the hollywood did turning these people my uncle could not get work he was very very difficult to break through it took him ten years of being terrorized and being knocked out to be able to get back to hollywood and even then things had to be sanitized. every single p.l.o. and every single corporation in america has a guy sitting at a desk using gauges fraudulent training to extract money from the market and back up america and causing taxes to go up because those fraudulent programs like obamacare rip it off because infrastructure projects that god causes people in san

francisco living on the street living in their own feces because guys on wall street i think it's necessary to create scams to just rip capital out of these markets. fifty years ago breaking within two cons again as a sleeping pill and dusty says well done the images are to does what he said just on the side effects were terrible but not on the road as shown in dutch one for boardwalk movie here not the warm welcome of across europe victims are starting legal battles demanding at least some compensation in something two ways first will the physical damage itself as well there's a constant reminder that the people who actually perpetrated this crime has never been the justice and there's been a couple. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business

i'm show business i'll see you then. there's a myth that hollywood was this great liberal out because when the liberals had it there was not really any discussion of. class war in america of who's controlling america everything it was soft liberal social issues like gay rights a civil rights but remember not too early only kind of after martin luther king smashed them in the face they couldn't ignore him at the selma march in bloody sunday but you so you have basically social liberalism you know women's rights but again it's soft stuff soft liberalism while hollywood tends toward liberality on

social issues it's war films really question the hero was or benevolent intentions of american troop deployments since world war two my father was in that. and he hated these war police because of the glorification sit there leaving out the real horror show and because of that you know he couldn't stand watching these glorification of the of the second world war i really hope you understand how impossible it was to make platoon i mean it was written in one nine hundred seventy six it was not made to lady six i was turned down dozens of times it was very hurtful and to be rejected people would say it's a great script it did help my reputation as a writer but no one would make it because it was too depressing they said but i said what's depressing about the truth you've got a truth that should be in the movies but that i mean that's a conflict that goes to the heart of hollywood i mean hollywood was never based on telling the truth you can't lose money being american lone survivor he carried

chuck norris metamorphosed into mark wahlberg and lone survivor and he kills how many i mean there are. i forgot seven americans get killed for every american they take down twenty or thirty taliban of course it's the same thing in blackhawk down every american who goes gets killed in the battle check it out has to kill like i think thirty or forty dark skinned people it's just amazingly that's the way it has to be this kind of a biblical commandment that says one dead american equals thirty forty four and marcus luttrell's lone survivor son the glorify the american war machines ability to fight off overwhelming enemy odds drawing more upon the mythology of john wayne's green berets than reality the green berets was made during the vietnam war with the full cooperation of the pentagon and president lyndon johnson likewise lone survivor was made during the afghan war with pentagon support killed when it

depicted navy seals fending off hundreds of taliban and killing dozens in a valiant alamo like last stand but the after action report that day only acknowledged up to thirty taliban being present and no reports of enemy casualties even the afghani man who saved the trials life denounced the book. but really what we're talking about is the military having a massive role within within hollywood in terms of manipulating script content we found that always to be interesting to us was not that there was a large number of these products that were affected but the previous scholarship that everyone knew all journalists everybody assumed that there were just a few hundred of these things like that but we found using critical information act request that there actually if you thousand got so obviously been what you might call a cover up or at least some kind of sort of soft cover up you may put it to make it look like this isn't such a great issue of censorship but it but it is early on in my career when i sent the

platoon script to get some pentagon help in philippines they wrote back that we had to really rethink vietnam having been there as a front line soldier of course that i objected to all their objections and not only that they put out an order not an order as much as a desist kind of memorandum to their commanders saying that the troops should not cooperate with this movie same thing happened to us on board the fourth of july so i was doing a t.v. pilot. and we were filming intel in northern california and it was written by gary devor we play these f.b.i. agents kind of thing and i get a knock on the door i've gone through hair and makeup i've memorized my my lines for that day and i get a knock on the door and it's the second or third day and there and the guy says well steven we've got these rewrites for you and i was like well wait a second i've already memorized my my lines like why the rewrites you know. and he

said well we talk to you talk to the f.b.i. and they want to make these adjustments. and that was my first ken of i don't know introduction to that to the fact that if you're playing if the alphabet agencies or any agencies are used like f.b.i. certainly cia. anytime you do in a film in those letters are involved and maybe even in cases where the they don't use those letters but they use something similar. they have final approval on oh and what's being said and once you know what you're what you're saying steve shalyn is a canadian born actor who found success in hollywood films like a river runs through it and the bodyguard but he alleges that when he tried to launch his own production company in canada called lion's gate his endeavor was sabotaged to this day he does not profess to know the who or why behind i had my own bad experience i was starting

a production company and it was stolen from me my children were threatened kidnapped i ended up basically losing everything. including a nice house in the hollywood sign a farm up here in canada and i was i was on the run being tracked and followed and i was pretty undone by the whole experience when i went in a bar in beverly hills one night and i ran into gary devor and gary was friendly as usual heat steve i.e. dylan you know. like a hockey area you wouldn't believe this and i gave him like the mini version of what i'd gone through and what was kind of great is that jerry didn't look at me like i was nuts even discount what i was saying he just basically agreed with with me and said yeah well they can they can do that if they want it also told me about a project he was working on that had to do with the the war in panama and he was divulging stuff or writing about stuff and that you know his buddies in the cia were not happy and this is twenty years ago and we know

a lot of this now we did not then and what this was about was the many in cartel. sending huge amounts of cocaine into the united states and the government being aware of it and not taking the stand against it that they might have and that there was a tremendous amount of money from the madding cartel transferring this cocaine into our country that went under. the guys have of the business deal i guess and was put into panamanian banks while noriega was in power there with and the money was laundered and was spent on. insurgency groups nicaragua and nieces all of the things that we now actually know are pretty true but then there was none of this known and for reasons. that i

was unaware of at the time gary was aware of all of these things gary did or was a successful screenwriter known for his films like the dogs of war and raw deal as well as his bizarre disappearance it was one nine hundred ninety seven he was on his way back to turn a script into the studio that he was going to direct and it was actually the only time that the finished script the computer all of the research was in one place it was in his car and he disappeared on his way back to members of the cia and the n.s.a. appeared in my home within the first four or five days. and many other unusual things started happening i realized that perhaps it was not a typical crime it only aims in one direction it aims in the direction that this person was definitely working with the intelligence community they said don't

you believe he's dead it's been over a year and i said no if you want me to believe he's dead give me a body nine days later i was given a body i was awakened at seven in the morning it was chased brandon calling me from langley saying they found the car they found they found the car with the body in it and there was a three hour time difference of course between new york and l.a. and at ten o'clock they called me from the sheriff's department in l.a. to tell me they found the car well they found. year later or whatever in his truck . the skeletal remains. were supposedly thrown in the back of the truck so i guess that was sending a message to anybody that if you go rogue or if you go you know off the ranch is to say whatever and you're up against the cia and what their plans are then this is what we're going to do and i guess. it's really indicative of you know i mean that's his to all right it's intense the mystery of gary divorce fate may linger as

long as that of j.f.k. but it is intriguing that divorce disappearance came in one thousand nine hundred seventy years after the cia established its first official hollywood liaison office it may have been merely symbolic but it seemed to portend the coming decade of a two thousand and one the patriot act and a u.s. led global war would dominate the american conscious as though the us government did not trust its citizens to think critically for themselves and more importantly crises would have to unfold particularly on the big screen where the heroes of the american intelligence services and military would inevitably fight to defend global freedom but behind the lie we must ask ourselves how much have we swallow the pill of propaganda evolved from psychological warfare a phrase derived from nazi germany's. world feel.

if anyone thinks that for the sake of joining the european union we serbia would recognize kosovo under the conditions that they impose right now and not on the basis of what the dialogue compromise very wrong once a compromise with the solution proposed by cost of oil is not a real solution. the new global economic war is unfolding in the realm of education the right to education is being supplanted by the right to. education its high education is becoming just another product that can be sold but it's not just about

education anymore it's also about running a business where you. could to me. what is the place of students in this business model before college i was born now and i'm extremely bored higher education the new global economic war. mongers who knew when you don't. see the teachers who are. dead according. to what they knew not through only ten space. maybe. they. said. claiming to know servant is that. alex you speak french. he. wants

a new. phone was busy setting up to take. a muslim school teachers found guilty of trying to radicalize over one hundred london school children that's as he aimed to create an army of child jihad as for terror attacks across the british capital. parts of the media go into a frenzy after vladimir putin un bails russia's latest weapons and his state of the nation address meanwhile the u.s. state department snubs questions from russian reporters on the issue. who say that they are you take out iran from there should it still you know say that ok enough so. then moves on. disturbing video emerges of the moments leading up to the death of a palestinian man during an israeli armed raid in the west bank the i.d.f. disputes and soldiers killed him although it has changed its version of the events

several times. a warm welcome to the program from all of us here at r t h q i'm jack and thanks for joining us this hour a british courts found a twenty five year old islamic studies teacher guilty of attempting to create an army of children from his students to attack london landmarks only boyko has been following the case. well the specifics of the story of the story of really quite staggering he's a twenty five year old teacher and he taught a class in islamic studies at school here in london and also at a mosque he was teaching eleven to fourteen year olds and that even though he had no teaching qualifications whatsoever he was allowed to teach these classes on unsupervised that anyone could see what he was doing but that was where he

attempted to brainwash these muslim children and teenagers take a look to some of the details provided in court during this court case investigation from the hundred children that he radicalized in the classroom he was showing terrorist propaganda and beheading videos he was also getting them to reunite with tank and how to attack police officers when haq was alone with the boys that was when he would start to talk about islamic state ideology he used his laptop in the school to project onto a whiteboard images of knives the guns of beheadings and also of burning passports and he said he wanted them to drive when they got older so they could carry out attacks multiple attacks later on they also did a role plays during these classes where some would act as police officers others would act as terrorists carrying out the headings and he tried to prepare the kids

physically as well as he would have them running around and doing push ups he'd tell them not to talk to anyone in fact he made them take an oath of silence and many of the kids said that they were paralyzed by fear they thought he would hurt them if they were to talk to anybody about what he was teaching them what's particularly interesting here and what's going to probably lead to a few questions to the government is how all this was taking place in a school that grated as outstanding by off stead which is the british government's what dog. for schools and in fact the school inspection while i was brainwashing the kids that he had to be dragged out of court today and he was dragged out of the dock by offices while he was ranting the judge is going to be sentencing him for all of this at a later date. what a mere puritan state of the nation address has seen parts of the media accusing

russia of harking back to the cold war during his speech the president announced the country's latest weapons which he said could outsmart all existing missile defenses the white house and the country learning of that new threat from russian president warning adverse reason and in the west in particular not to mess with russia computer graphics of missiles flying over mountains and heading over oceans and he says he's not bluffing. that many saw the address as a threat directed at the u.s. moscow claims it has no intention of striking out the high tech weapons are intended only to maintain the global balance of power as margot stamp reports if you aren't russian in the first hour of putin's speech would have been boring taxes and corruption and science and industry that sort of thing after that though it got real hot real fast maybe. russia is a major nuclear power basically nobody wanted to talk to us nobody listened to us.

listen to us now rockets lasers nukes in a rush hooted unveiled an arsenal of new weapons bigger faster stronger and deadlier than any that came before the am. the some super heavy i.c.b.m. two hundred ton missile capable of penetrating any existing defense in service at the end of the year next an enigmatic new development seemingly nuclear powered cruise missile it flies extremely low to avoid detection and can hit almost anywhere in the world says putin up next it's just fantastic an underwater drone submarine also nuclear powered with a nuclear payload it can reportedly underwater for months and months silent and

needy undetectable next to the oven god the hypersonic michel extremely fost rockets that can actively dog and the veda and see missile defenses. that is heading for the target like a meteorite to top all of that off laser weapons systems though putin didn't go into detail. saying only that it still classified the russian president says one of these isn't to intimidate or scare anyone or invaded you are these serious weapons designed for one thing restore and garan see russia's strategic power in an age where an ever expanding nato is trying to nullify it. we have no plans and have never had plans to use this potential to achieve offensive or aggressive in russia's in hands military power is simply

a guarantee for peace on our planet for it preserve restore parity in the world sure that there's no point in gauging in a senseless arms race to rule mutually assured destruction has kept the world safe for the best part of a century not everyone however is buying putin's explanation of the speech he was pressed about it in an interview with n.b.c. several analysts in the west have said this is the declaration of a new cold war are we in a new arms race right now my point of view is the individuals who have said that a new cold war has started or not really analysts they do propaganda if you were to speak about arms race than an arms race began at exactly the time in moment when the u.s. opted out of the anti-ballistic missile treaty to stress his point the new weapons serve only to balance the world powers putin pointed out u.s. missile defenses are already deployed in alaska and california nato is also

expanding into eastern europe with two sides having been set up in romania and poland and these sites are soon to be established in japan and south korea the us complex also includes a naval component america currently has five navy cruisers and thirty to story ships station along russia's eastern borders. the u.s. state department branded russia's new weapons as destabilizing saying they violate existing treaties however the russian ambassador to the u.s. hit back saying washington doesn't know what it's talking about tensions also ran high at a u.s. state department briefing as our home explains. heather now it was particularly concerned about the video or imagery that was released claiming that it showed the missile targeting the u.s. and when reporters asked about this the scene turned pretty ugly and now revealed just how uncomfortable she was when she slammed the russian reporters who pressed her on this as officials of the russian government to take in the united states

interests new styles all sent a different direction so i had to say that they are you know you ran from their shenanigans even if you say that ok enough said then i'll move on. which is what if it did happen they're not. officials of the russian government they're just asking a question about me oh really ok well we know that. r.t. and other russian news or so-called news organizations are there i'm good and directed by the russian government so if i don't have to hear a lot of this surely no matter how they're going to set you up to that moment you know this is i mean this is you know that you're talking about yesterday which is not an excuse me through and it was met with significant backlash from reporters all throughout the room but how did she respond with several doses of sarcasm of course but for the record this is her usual m.o. when she wants to avoid answering questions in the past is referred to me and my

colleagues as representatives of the russian government and then i made a berridge of questions now or shut down the entire press conference and then rejected a reporter's question which rightfully upset the reporter who then stood up from her chair and followed an hour out of the room we've got it we've got to go on iraq or please i will talk to you after the no the iraqi parliament voted wednesday to call for a timetable for the iraq for foreign troops. now it's unclear what exactly agitated now are but it could have been the continuous stream of questions regarding the american reaction to president putin's address but journalists in the room were all defending each other so i wonder if we'll hear any complaints from the other reporters. staying in washington the u.s. state department has approved a possible multi-million dollar sale of javelin anti-tank missiles and launch units to ukraine two hundred missiles and thirty seven launch units are expected to be sent to ukraine in.
