language which is very controlled and very new wants to in terms of what it is say have called this last action the twenty three diplomats say they have but i think the progression to talk about nuclear armaments is a further it's of aggression but but i think. the problem with the wall of this is that everything leading up to it has been to corner the american phrase and nothing but all of the stuff about russian agents you know i'm supposed to be a russian agent not a fraud is a russian agent donald trump is a russian asia i mean mustn't a very interesting year at the k.g.b. that year where the recruiters all but. all of media in the united states appears to believe that that that is the case right and i think it's the old adage of the boy who cried wolf that all of this stuff that has gone in the past has come to nothing has been a load of nonsense by feeble establishment that want to use it as an excuse for their defeat and breck's it or the defeat of hillary clinton another that's really

interesting to me because it seems to me that there is motive on the side of the british government to try to look tough like you're saying that talks many people feel embroiled lots of other problems with this them all in domestic policy here's a chance for treason made to start looking strong and yet as you've said a minute or two ago she's done this really fast where i would disagree with you as perhaps that there isn't an urgency in my view to be the judge and jury now there was an urgency to get the medical treatment for the victims but in any court case it can take months or years why do we have to do this so quickly when now as i've since already pointed out this has led to an escalated response from the russians because i think national security issues by their very nature require an urgent response we don't know if there are other potential nerve agents out there we don't know if the british system or it is as we call in to be as we say we're actually

still sure it is the russians there's just finally go to the u.n. security council what do you make of i don't know whether you think that will be an imaginative avenue pursued by the british government but there is i'm a very quick to say she's going to call the security meeting about which are i. i don't think it's imaginative a soul and to go back to your point about theresa may looking tough talking tough well this doesn't appear to me to be looking tough or talking tough this is a procedural response it's not going to move the the russian state position at all and when donald trump is set the bar foreign fury i think the dismissal of twenty three diplomats is not going to do anything to move the dial and we have to i mean the the westminster bubble. is a point often made about what goes on here and the deaf ear to the rest of the country i think if you walked into a pub and asked most people you know is dismissing twenty three diplomats a tough response i don't think it is i think the the procedural language used.

and the approach that teresa mayes taking is an imaginative and one look tough the irony in this situation in my view is that if she has to back down which simply means doing nothing more because if she doesn't escalate it it looks like she's frozen there when it could be jeremy corbin for having taken a more statesman like approach for caution and lending it to tighten around the country to say i told you so but of course gerry go is getting lambasted by everyone in the mainstream media in the president's bottom interest but if i and others who go to the get ceroc war it was a slow burn but ultimately those who opposed the war and up smelling of roses. ben thank you also thanks to professor pierce robinson for this special episode of going underground that's it for the show will feel sad day till then you can judge my social media we'll see you want to patrick's day.

this baby and. this much eighteenth vote with your remote. for special coverage of the russian presidential election exit polls opinions real time results monitoring and much more. there's nobody that's keeping goober is a commie we're all working for below minimum wage at the end of the day if you factor in the ecological devastation of the dancing chicken effect and all the cruelty prone eggs who escapes this nightmare we call post-industrial is post ironic post. fan to say sion and infantile ization narcissistic cause i

reale. closer to europe when you don't. see the teachers what they did equipped to do. what they did not through only ten. may. lead to no kill said. no servant it is best to let a. few speak french. most. of them send them all to new. busy them to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be

president. wanted. to go right to be close with what before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of our. britain accuses russia of breaching of the convention on chemical weapons at an emergency meeting of the un security council while russia protested it isn't being considered guilty until proven innocent. we've known for years that for you in order to determine the guilty party no investigation is needed today the best kind of proof is suspicion. that comes out of the u.k. prime minister expels twenty three russian diplomats from britain in retaliation for the kremlin's alleged involvement in the poisoning of a former russian intelligence agent and his daughter that is despite police having

declared no suspects. and human rights advocates call on the u.s. congress to read jack to donald trump's new pick for cia director over her involvement in the intelligence agency's torture program. and we have more on all of the top stories that are t.v. dot com up next on our international week though it isn't the kaiser report but in the u.k. and ireland it is stay with us. because a report to show that goes or no show as ever gone before where exactly that is we are still trying to figure that out stacy hi maxwell so you know you do a double header with michael hudson dr michael hudson that was in our last episode and he's in the second episode second half of this episode today so i have the

privilege of actually seeing what he has to say and that's very fascinating you really have to tune in for the second half with dr michael hudson because he's looking at finance capitalism and international free trade so-called free trade and it's quite interesting because he talks about the high cost of living and the low wages and that's certainly something we see in america as more and more people and in the u.k. which is even more and france and spain this notion of the precarious at a precarious jobs and the indignados you know all these sort of sort of temporary temporary sort of stable jobs so you're a good worker at the gig economy you know or things like that but. another way out of their ghetto of these get jobs is to become a you tube star so i have this interesting story about you tube success on you

tube still means a life of poverty you can have a million views a month and still not be able to make rent new research out of germany billed as among the first to review the chances of making it in the new hollywood shows a vanishingly small number will ever break through just like in the old hollywood in fact ninety six point five percent of all of those trying to become you tubers won't make enough money off of advertising to crack the u.s. poverty line according to research by matt bartle a professor at often burge university of applies sciences and often berg even to get to the top one percent of the you tube stars the top three percent sorry you need one point two or four million views per month on your tubes but you're still making less than the minimum wage less than poverty wages in america you know but in the nineteen seventies and early early one nine hundred sixty s. used to visit with my family times square you know we'd go into new york and go

into new york to go to times square for example in at the time you could see the dancing chicken right so you put the five cent piece into the machine there and out comes a dancing chicken a chicken that's on a plate an electric plate that's a lecture followed and so the chicken is being slowly electrocuted to death it was a real chicken yes indeed. i know that so it's like a big glass box in times square and you went and put a quarter in and they forced a chicken out on to the kitchen comes out on an electric gets electrocuted essentially. now this is you tube. you have millions of water. be dancing chickens come out. hopefully they'll get a like or a tweet but they're socially they're narcissistically narcissism narcissism living

in themselves to death it's death by narcissism well according to this article breaking into the top three percent of most few channels could bring in advertising revenue of about sixteen thousand eight hundred dollars a year bartle found in an analysis for bloomberg news that's a bit more than the us federal poverty line of twelve thousand one hundred forty for a single person that guideline for a two person household is sixteen thousand four hundred sixty the top three percent of video creators of all time and bartle sample attracted more than one point four million views per month now the problem with this is that a lot of people are setting their basically hopes out of the gig economy gatto on becoming one of these new hollywood celebrities so one in three british children aged six to seventeen told pollsters last year that they wanted to become a full time you tube there's three times as many as those who wanted to become

a doctor or a nurse so one in three british children want to become a you tube star over this is a total breakdown in the institutions that would make a normally functioning society where you have doctors and lawyers and theologians and other professions in careers that make up in dynamic ecosystem of culture we have all been eviscerated by the financialization of the economy starting back under the reagan factor years where everything was commodified secure and traded and backed and secured and goldman sachs and fide and fan player squid have fide and now we have a whole generation that's just looking to expose themselves to death they want to be out there as exhibitionists as a freak show they. could be the long haired lady or the snake swallowing boy or any number of freaks remember the movie free they would have the famous line

in there one of us one of us one of us which is a great. great siren song of u two they want you to become a freak they want to get your inner freak out freak the next spring so they can of course take all that money to the bank well the other problem is of course the monopolization by you tube of online video content viewing so they control the market and they feed people more and more into the top one percent of of you tube stars so that basically they guide people where they go and you see that in the charts that the article shows is that over the years the number of big stars any any content creator making more than a million views a month that's actually declining because it's being monopolized by fewer and fewer

content creators and the other thing of course is that you tube is now basically because of because hillary lost to a reality t.v. star and it's as humiliating as any circus freak show in p.t. barnum's going to a dancing chick she lost. she did and because of that she's a woman scorned and the whole the entire edifice of our society and infrastructure of our economy around us must be destroyed and you tube is withdrawing ads from not only our t.v. for example but from a lot of alternative media yes the likes of alex jones but also the likes of truthdig and alternative progressive media a lot of them are being. monetized so we've seen that with the with the more free and sort of characters say like luke rick out ski even though they get

hundreds of thousands of views they they were de monetise for while nobody cared. listened and now they're coming for the bigger bigger names and soon you'll only be able to watch one dance and chicken well we saw the same thing with the network television network and the public airwaves and the spectrum of elbel telecommunications that were available to all kinds of commercial enterprises and the public and we had public access television and we had all kinds of shows that were in the public interest and news was done in the public interest on the commercial interest and then you had this gradually transform into a purely public vehicle where the news was essentially squeezed out in favor of of kind of rabid foaming at the mouth polemicists like rachel maddow and you have no actual kind of news as that.
