one would bring though so yeah real movement called those and many other names for even having a conversation about it you know it's as if you're talking about these things and this isn't real science and. i mean i think there's there was right but you know i don't i was totally right you know that we will go crazy we're wrong this is the thing i find that video is just that tells you everything you know for the cost of you know the weather channel they send out the same amount of money. to make squeaky noises that are still going to take three years. what it is doing is that that later in the video you see there's these like pops and bangs to the beach like a hundred fifty hundred forty decibels snow which is incredibly dangerous yes i mean there's a very i mean the thing is that's lasers that's not a sound playing through a speaker that's like lasers hitting this plasma. that makes this horrible roar

things that really have ultrasonic ultrasound kind of technology or we can some things and there's been people have developed ways of ascending communications to and from people without other people hearing it yes which is sort of what this idea is that it's it won't just had a whole bunch of people it could be directed and that the area between the person shooting this laser and the person getting hurt like the people in between will not be a virtue it's very specifically bloomberg so this is going to be a growing industry apparently i mean i'm hearing rumors of ringworld of forty one billion dollars worth of directed weapons industry by like twenty twenty one twenty twenty three on directed energy weapons mark gun zinger a senior fellow at the center for strategic and budgetary assessments great job and former deputy assistant secretary of defense under president george w. bush he stated there is a growing realization on capitol hill and the department of the bugs that it's time to transition these technologies there are some technological challenges but it's

apparent to us that it's a case of an adequate funding we do believe there are directed energy technologies that are ready to transform now yes give was more money let's come up with new creative ways to hurt people employed damage on people let's spend ten times more money than they ever would to help people or comfort people are sort of people you know that would be silly but it would be just silly to spend money on giving people food medication and transcendent is that life no no let's show lasers into their brain so the. go completely exactly. so that when you talk when you hear what the scientists were developing you know what the purpose it was like i said the purpose was to find a non-lethal way to use this in a way that wouldn't because i've been hurt people they want to have one elderly build one system that can create life to noise and all sorts of other sort of things that can you know heat. and the idea being that it would replace

a bunch of other what they want to do with your star trek fan it's created tricorder that your growth is rooted in and put it isn't only a fool but it's a lethal make this noise make this so that's sort of the idea and there needs to be a mirror set and to give you an idea of how big of an area where powerful it is a five inch mirror can create an effect that. at least one kilometer well an eight inch mirror is eight kilometers away or five kilometers away so with these just an eight inch mirror you can shoot this laser at something eight kilometers away no one in between that and kilometers will hear this noise except for the. best solution i was really very just like her you know but let's remember drones were supposed to have like your own technology and needle in a haystack so there's that. yeah at the end of the big directed energy weapons we've been talking about it for a long time finally looks like the rest of the world might be touching up to us.

and why seventeen major league baseball's just about one point three million dollars lobbying capitol hill for a little help with what you ask no it's not some shiny new stadium or even more monopoly and antitrust protections no this one's about greed if you flip through to page one thousand nine hundred sixty seven of the latest congressional spending package you'll find the quote save america's pastime act it seeks to solidify minor league baseball players roles as seasonal and thus not protected by federal labor laws this means that the doesn't have to pay any of its seventy five hundred minor league players a basic minimum wage or overtime now you're probably yelling at your screen who cares savva that why should i care about some rich ballplayers all who just aren't going to get rich or well most things in life only a few get to be rich while those fighting for the dream of the big show are struggling to make ends meet the starting wage from minor league baseball player is

levon hundred dollars a month which comes out to about four dollars an hour for a forty hour week the very most they can be expected to be paid is twenty one hundred fifty dollars a month which calculates to just barely minimum wage on a forty hour week just how horrid with the financial burden be for minor league teams that this bill claims to protect and. wouldn't help them at all actually since the major league teams pay the salaries and it would barely cost a few million dollars a year for each team to give their players a ten dollars an hour raise and over time it seems like a baseball is america's pastime the least the imo be could do is pay their players a wage that is above poverty level but. america's pastime is to pay people way to the sat around the poverty level if true that go against the entire idea of modern america today. i'm sorry none first started right here own the team of all the strings and decide who gets to be successful and who does it and everybody else

is crushed down the poverty level and horrible wages and if you work hard you get to join us up here if you work really hard but really not related oh now when it blows my mind i always love to have a case these things to have been like saving america's promise and what if you don't pass this part of the on those bills it's going to shut down it's going to go away that's it no more baseball i mean it's so ludicrous they do this with everything you see these big corporate conglomerates and these big billionaire owners they do this with everything you see them do with sports stadiums hey you got to build up that new football soccer stadium otherwise guess what no money no taxes and the interesting thing to have as many players you know they leave the minor leagues because they can't afford to support their families or people that might eventually be able to make it to the show right you know i have very talented athletes who really have a passion for the game who come out there for five months of the year for the money or six seven months of the some months of the year they have to have other jobs

there's people who work at factories who have regular you know work construction but it's you know if they can't support a family they can't support of that not how many times do you go back waiting for that moment to get that one chance that you might do one night in the major leagues you keep insurance for the rest or life for these little things and let's not let's keep in mind let's not let major league baseball. you either i mean even though they might not be sold out stadiums every year they made ten billion dollars in revenue in two thousand and seventeen and have shown an increase in revenue every year for the lesson. they cannot claim or despite the fact that attendance is down in the last two or three years their attendance has been down around eight to ten percent so they're there attends goes down they're making more money but they say well we would have to pass that on to the minor league team some of these minor league teams that have and then organizations that but around since of fifty years i've been doing the book as well why bring up sports why talk baseball because look

a lot of these multibillion stadiums and these you know players working for aaa teams and things like that we're talking about maybe there are neighborhoods that need the 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 that's the same thing we talk about hollywood it is a fact a 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 seventy six games you're aaa minor league baseball has forty feel for the hockey players get paid about forty five thousand is the 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 perdiem 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. and from having to pay 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 they're going to pass on anybody but the fails there the teachers are going to cost more at the the paterno going to cost more and they're going to complain the bigger basically the money they spent lobbying they could have actually paid for this but yeah all right as we go to break card watchers the hope for it to let us know where you're big about the governor of facebook and twitter see our poll shows that are coming up with local journalist author max blumenthal and the hawk's nest to discuss the curious battle of the hope for. his years of fascism and journalists and people calling each other

fascist in all this is the really interesting stay tuned to watch. well you know there are things we kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long. i mean they're in this small ball of sticks you know hard to achieve and you just. might not be. the limited self to be told these already ninety percent of the guard on any loan becomes a. concept fifteen scoops seventy five tons they do it several times a day with a big fleet now you get an idea of why. we have to understand we can not stay still and just. be with this the

deal going to the arms. i'm doing this because i want them for the future world to future generations to have and enjoy the ocean we have. fifteen years ago this month the united states in its so-called coalition of the willing to illegally invaded in occupied iraq and iraq continues to grapple with that fateful decision many call the invasion of iraq a blunder should we call it what it really is a crime. the most expensive fish in the world 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 and set off

a much larger mission was one 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 cleared for long term survival and that's why we have the catastrophe as. a plate for many clubs over the years so i know the game and so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money. spend spend each religion twenty million. it's an experience like nothing else want to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy great so well with. the base.

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 the one 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 our cause enough to be blacklisted by the mainstream media and dragged forth before chief inquisitors inquisition or as robert muller and adam schiff and for those of the eye of the storm this new age of paranoia and censure isn't just a matter of political theory and philosophy it's an all too real fight for their basic freedoms joining us today to discuss this struggle is journalist and author max lim and. if 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 like 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 the 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. will work exposing holocaust deniers in the us 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 guys of what you're working together that we are 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 this article according to this article. because i'm a guest on your program you know vladimir 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 control our mile tires to go what was it it's insane because opposing regime change in syria which is the net 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 but 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 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 you know 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 of the mentioned earlier did no different than what protestors i'm 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 also. darted 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 communists there and then first i went home 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 supposed to be a progressive sort of nonpartisan bias organization like the southern poverty law center who we've defended against attacks on those that they've got on our t.v. 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 is the right question for 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 have been attacked by this author in this series of screeds of conspiratorial glenn beck style screeds like steven 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 that 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 reciprocally 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're living we're 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 porn thing there's other journalists out there who are able to call up the southern poverty law center and talk to the director but it's happening to a lot of other journalists and other reporters not just the major ones like this what if vice do you have to best combat those kinds of blacklisting and things like what ken and the other journalists other bloggers other people out there who are suddenly seeing this come down on them what can they do to fight back 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 to go to court but this even longer but we're going to go for the shellfish. so we're always able to do things. 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 if a new robot developed by researchers at the massachusetts institute of technology lives up to its incredibly cool design in function or he's actually banks has more . and mighty researchers designed the software bought it 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 radiowaves 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 sam according to robert katzman the lead alter 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 cast human 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 with this like with builds in this paper we will actually be able to get a different view on a credit life and also have a credit life have a different view on us because we can mimic emotional. to some extent and we have a different appearance to feel safe the way our fish moves as sophie proves to be successful it could help scientists better understand schooling dynamics and fish species living and on

a healthy oceans and order to prevent things like extinction and washington actually banks are to. and that was our show for today remember everyone in this world well told her lovely love social wall i love you i am a rope and in times have a while and keep on watching those hawks in the great day and let everybody. fearful reality branch ringing now phaser people are plotting their minds to an app and they're willing to trade physical body in exchange for the promise of

immortality because remember as we've shifted from the physical to the spiritual i guess you could god we've also lost all values associated with the physical plane they all respect for gravity dollar spec for a plurality and now been reinterpreted in a gravitational list ethical list valueless back you moral turpitude which is now the new reality or heaven as some may call it. the bridge for a single purpose. a supermoon. training very young. eight months of intensive schooling. rats. and very safe lives.

lots of countries in europe then to stand rushes and take a. part of europe and you cannot think about prosperous europe and developing europe but if you if you had gone to see new russia being involved in the european process. that russia is what. has to be taken into account dishonestly more.
