these you know players working for aaa teams and things like that we're talking about maybe there are neighborhoods that need their money more so than someone who really and you know you look at these huge stadiums a minor league baseball team to an area can be massive it can bring a lot of money and a lot of stuff and i say why this is a labor issue whether you know it's your entertainment and it's the same thing we talk about hollywood it is a de facto labor that you get something from and you should support these people because it gives cause for everyone else to look at a minor league hockey you know it is they have a union and let's look at some of the numbers back and forth so in baseball and so how can a seventy six games your aaa minor league baseball has forty feel for the hockey players get paid about forty five thousand is their minimum salary for the time one minor league baseball players minimum salaries about ten thousand dollars for five months maybe six months worth of work their travel for seventy two dollars and hockey where minor league baseball players on the road are getting twenty five

dollars a day which is fast food whether you like it or not the hockey players get a post but postseason bonus no no bonus for minor league baseball players i think what you're looking at is millions and millions of dollars spent by the by the m l b to lobby to keep them from half into paying what is about the cost of a halfway decent outfielder on a major league to go about five six million dollars a year so i know what they're going to do is there they're going to pass it on anybody but the fans there the t. shirts are going to cost more than the prado going to cost more and they're going to complain the bigger basically that the money they spent lobbying they could have actually pissed with us. as we go to break card once there's no hope for it to let us know where your group recovered of facebook and twitter so your poll shows that are coming up with both a journalist and author max blumenthal and the hawk's nest to discuss the curious battle. over. his use of fascism and journalists and people call you to other fascist most of them. really interesting stay tuned to watch all.

of. this praise for a single purpose. of the supermoon. training very young. eight months of intensive schooling. rats. and they save lives. around the world there's always a battle going on with the central bankers and the commercial bankers always trying to repress the population in one way or another recall the global insurrection against banker occupation we've been saying this for years on the shelf so now we're going to look at it from the puerto rican perspective they are similarly being oppressed by the overlords of finance and they are reacting in

a very specific puerto rico way. time body made a bed of the entire game i need them i get it. and they take it out on the. pedal going to die me by my mom company and i mean god knows you won't think me going to be. made in focusing on making a change in the make believe just had images of christians or if you want. to spend a little bit of an actual get at the me i've got to go to a large city because the. patient isn't even feeling hopeful any kind of cool for you to take the risk oh wow.

you mean you don't. see the. two are. dead according. to what the most truly did supposed to. be. left alone they. said. cement took them to no term and did that to. alex you speak french on. those little while that same year the wind send them into new the president is still good the stone was busy the bill told c.n.n. this.

at the height of joe mccarthy's anti-communist inquisition then president dwight d. eisenhower delivered a powerful rebuke to the politics of fear reminding us that quote here in america we are descended in blood and spirit from revolutionists and rebels men and women who dare dissent from accepted doctrine as their errors may we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion and never since one thousand nine hundred fifty four speech have those words wrong truer than today as any form of dissent whether it be a concern for our environment a passion for defending civil rights and fighting police brutality or even the slightest aberration from the establishment approved doctrine of foreign policy and global thinking or cause enough to be blacklisted by the mainstream media and dragged forth before chief inquisitors inquisition or as robert muller and adam ship and for those of the eye of the storm. this new age of paranoia and century

isn't just a matter of political theory and philosophy it's an all too real fight for their basic freedoms joining us today discuss this struggle is journalist and author x. women live so joining us thank you for coming and we brought you on because you went through a very interesting kind of battle of somebody you know kind of stepping forward to disparage you were some truly you know for what you write about as a journalist and what you call you know put aside a spotlight on and disparaging you and claiming you're in bed with these horrible terrible people and all this could you tell us a little bit more about what exactly kind of went down and what happened to you yeah i mean first of all. there was a piece that went up on the southern poverty law center's blog hate watch which is supposed to be dedicated to fighting hate or the far right extremist a southern poverty law center took down the ku klux klan through legal measures and that's how we know them i've actually done work for the southern poverty law center over the years i've done actual work exposing holocaust deniers in the u.s.

for them i've consulted for them on investigations going up to twenty seventeen and so i know their director i know people who work at his watch it was bizarre to see myself get attacked there but i knew the attack was coming and the attack was not just on me it was on several other principled leftwing journalists and activists including people who have decades of done decades of work opposing racism and fascism in the united states like brian becker from the international answer coalition and this attack was a collection of talking points cobbled together and smuggled into the southern poverty poverty law center under the cover of night without the director's knowledge to exploit russia gate in order to connect me and these left wing anti racist journalists and activists to fascists connect us to fascists we have no connection with that i have never met but i have never communicated with. all of the. is that what the you're working together that we're working together to.

promote the government of syria bashar al assad because i have gone out and produced factual journalism challenging the push for regime change in the united states and the various psyops that have been thrown at the american and western public to try to cultivate their support for war and no one has ever taken down my journalism no one has disproven a single substantial fact that i published for example about the u.s. u.k. and qatari funded white helmets organisation what they are trying to do is say that this is actually part of a fascist. communist plot a brown red plot in the words of this obscure geography professor who published this article called it a brown red plot in other words brown is fascist red is communist. directed by the kremlin and because i go on r t that means in you know in this article according to this article because i'm

a guest on your program you know flattery or putin and the f.s.b. are controlling my brain with gamma waves from moscow. it all makes sense now we spoke of the laser weapons to a computer all our my old timers to go i was in it's insane because opposing regime change in syria which is the new was the next phase of the neo conservative agenda for the middle east and should have been done by everyone who's out there touting how they were against iraq fourteen fifteen years ago is a principled basic anti-imperialist anti-imperialist anti-war position and if you do that now they're trying to connect you to the far right because there are people on the far right who also oppose regime change in syria who are isolationists you know we could call them buchanan knights in this country or whatever but it doesn't mean that i'm like in in league with them and when you know you've had me as a guest on your show i came on your show after charlottesville what do we talk about we talked about how horrible this neo nazi mortgage was so where's the fascism it's pretty clear. what they were trying to do and when i say they i mean

this axis of weasels who have been activating this campaign against me and others for over two years so it's not just legitimate criticism or debate it's a campaign of character assassination and smears they smuggled into the southern poverty law center through this writer and what they're trying to do is connect people on what's considered the far left to the far right because people on the far right are getting kicked off twitter they're getting kicked off facebook they're basically being disappeared from the internet we can debate that i'm not taking a position on it but it's clear they are trying to blacklist us and remove us and our identities from online the online world forever it's a censorship campaign the mentioned earlier no different than it would hurt to use them from the moment and yet it's no different i mean i have friends i have a friend who is older and remembers as a child her father was an artist and she remembers she was telling me when this all started about the f.b.i.

coming to her door and ask about who came to their parties and who came to your house and are you a communist little girl abusing communist fare and then first they went and then i realized i was like oh we're there they don't have to come to the house they just look through my stuff and they do this and this is what to me is so unsettling that a civil rights organization and what's supposed to be a progressive sort of nonpartisan bias organization like the southern poverty law center who we've defended against attacks on this and they've come on our t. yeah and i just find it strange that here they are. why why would someone go why would someone use them to go after what is essentially a progressive journalist and why or anybody who's their motives or whatever and anyone who remotely questions questions the right questions that the establishment line why why what good reason they have to attack people like you or us or anybody who makes that statement that's that that's the key question here and again i don't

blame the southern poverty law center's director or their leadership for this i called them right away and they said we're taking the piece down we're very sorry we didn't even know it was up there yeah but the southern poverty law center first of all it's not you know poor people running it has a one hundred ten million dollar annual budget three hundred thirty million dollars down but this is the reason why it was so important for them to smuggle this attack in there because the southern poverty law center works with law enforcement against extremist groups now if they can define those of us who are anti-war as extremists that's that's that's it that's it you're out of there and so you know other people had been attacked by this author in this series of screeds of conspiratorial glenn beck style screeds like stephen cohen who is the premier russia scholar in the u.s. and consequentially consequently the most demonized academic in the country he's the husband of katrina vanden heuvel who directs the nation and she was also branded by this writer falsely as an anti semite which is disgusting that article

was taken down and you know in having like discussions with people who are smeared by this author i told them you know maybe the piece didn't get a lot of traction but the whole point of it is to label you as an extremist by the most reputable anti extremist organization in the country that's working with law enforcement and not only that i've seen reports that the southern poverty law center is part of a coalition of groups that are now vetting you tube videos and taking you tube videos offline so this is about censorship it is mccarthyism i can actually tell you that in some questions that i saw from this writer and he actually asked if i. have any connections to communists that was an actual question that he asked me in writing have you now or ever been pacifically referring to the party of socialism of socialism and liberation which is a communist socialist party in the united states one year is that max what year is that what year we are living we are living in the year that the blacklist came back through russia again through which which i mean and all of this is interesting and

i want to ask you this before we have a couple of minutes left but i want to ask you this in the port of thing there's other journalists out there who are able to call up the southern poverty law center and talk to their director but it's happening to a lot of other journalists and other reporters not just in the major ones like this what if vice do you have to suppress combat this kind of blacklisting and things like that what kind of the other journalists other bloggers other people out there who are suddenly seeing this come down on them what committed do to fight what what one reason this has happened to me is because so many journalists who know it's wrong aren't speaking up you know i had a journalist from the intercept if i can even call him a journalist murtaza hussein who actually said that my daddy funded a lawsuit against the southern poverty law center with no evidence at all totally false and nobody at the intercept said anything directly to him glenn greenwald defended me but i heard nothing from jeremy scahill who knows this is wrong i've seen him say nothing about this toxic campaign of smears to literally censor people

who have opposed regime change in syria along with the rest of his colleagues and those are the people who you know many people on the left look to for these principled left wing views and they've been silent i don't know that so many people have been silent and it's because i think they're afraid they're they're afraid that they'll be nasty so we need to speak you know i got legal representation ultimately it cost me twenty dollars from bill moran and bill moran has defended other people who've been we're going to go to speak and max thank you so much for coming on and talking about this that i could talk about this even longer but we're going to finish off the show but. so we're always in what you think is. seventy one percent of the earth is covered in water and yet we know more about the surface of the moon than the bottom of the ocean and its inhabitants what that is about to change or shift a new robot developed by researchers at the massachusetts institute of technology lives up to its incredibly cool design and function or he's actually banks has more . and mighty researchers designed the software bought

a fish known as sophie to solve many issues plaguing other robots place in the ocean for research purposes one of them in the issues is communication according to mit scientists radio waves are very successful in the water which it doesn't do much for underwater robots that are usually attached to a boat so instead of using radio waves sophia inventors have chosen to use a film according to robert katz men that lead author of the mit study says radio frequency communication underwater just a works for a few centimeters acoustic signals and water can travel for much longer and with much less energy consumption according to mit scientists through using sound divers will be able to pilot sophie from close to seventy feet away many aquatic robots a lack the ability to move swiftly and effectively most robots contain an electric motor which is usually clunky mit scientists ascribe the movement as stuttering which has become a major issue when trying to collect data there for sophie inventors have made sure

sophia runs out of air or oil making for a smoother swim through the ocean and at times fish need to resume at certain depths of the ocean for whatever reason it's easy for fish to do this as they have a swim bladder which allows them to achieve it neutral buoyancy however many aquatic robots can achieve this making it hard to keep up with aquatic animals therefore thanks to an inventor sophie is equipped with its own swim bladder which is a cylinder that compresses and decompresses air with a piston catchments says the compartments that usually would be air tight we filled them with oil this allows sophie to reach depths of sixty feet since its internal pressure is controlled much better than other aquatic robots right now sophie is remote controlled but in the near future a mighty scientists are hoping a lot more enhanced version of sophie would be able to use

a machine of vision to lock on to an individual fish and follow them around without raising suspicion. we believe that with like builds in this paper we will actually be able to get a different fuel and aquatic life and also have a credit life of a different view on us because speak and mimic the motion of. some extends and we gets have good different appearance to feel safe way out there. as sophie proves to be successful it could help scientists better understand schooling dynamics and face species living and on a healthy oceans and order to prevent things like extinction and washington and actually banks our t.v. . and that is our show for today remember everyone in this world without told or loved enough so i tell you all i love i am the romans are in town to have in a while and keep on watching those hawks and the great game that everybody.

lots of countries in europe to understand that russia is and take no part of europe and you cannot think about prosperous europe and developing your foot if you if you're. a senior russia being involved in the european process. that russia is royce. has to be taken into account and so innocence lost. the most expensive fish in a will each one selling for tens of thousands of euros it continues to grow its

entire life if it was thirty years old you might have a two ton fish out there and yet they don't get that big today because we're way too good at catching. it's only women themself a much larger mission was once there and that was much more widely distributed we have politicians that are in office for a few years they have to get reelected everything is very very short term our system is not suited and is not geared for long term survival and that's why we have because this is a. clashes
