there's actually talk a lot now about how what they regard as the interference in the twenty six thousand election is similar to pearl harbor when the japanese attacked the united states during world war two or al-qaeda and nine eleven and so there's this sense that russia is now an enemy on par with al-qaeda or the japanese during world war two russia is often talked about this way in the sense that any kind of connection with or interaction with russia is viewed as inherently suspicious or even worse and it's extremely dangerous and extremely toxic and it's one of the reasons why i decided to come here and this morning posted a picture of myself and snowden because i think it's very important to come out and to thank for joining us here on r.t. and spending some of your saturday with us we are back with.

the camera. roughly once the show and some will pay you for the. uncool videos doing. this some of them with the broccoli string and. more on string i don't really don't t.v. . welcome there we're back to tonight i'm natalie miguel we can't will be back next week but don't worry i grew up with facial hair just like his so you wouldn't be

able to tell the difference. what's that. you can tell the difference well it doesn't matter because we've got a very special highlights and updates episode for you let's get started with how the pentagon spent twenty one trillion dollars that they can't seem to account for like it's a bunch of socks they lost in the dryer here's what you're trying to wrap his head around the lunacy eight twenty one trillion sounds but manos it sounds like something alex jones found tattooed across one of his cheeks. by extra terrestrials . they probably chose it because they needed a lot of real estate to put a number that large. but the twenty one trillion number comes from the department of defense's office of inspector general the oh-i g. although as forbes magazine pointed out after mark skidmore began inquiring about the report the zero i.d.'s web page was mysteriously taken down but luckily people

had already grabbed copies of that report before it was taken down my favorite part is they have all fraud and ways taught lie. that you can call. it was bachchan good type of fraud and waste that they must hear on that hotline. hi i work here in the pentagon my name's patti lu and i made me a charger refill in nk in the copy years because generals do not know how to use the copiers it's good you know they can handle war but i don't know a copy or any i want to report then someone here in my department gave taken the plans hold which are clearly partment plans and then. we must go through seven or eight pens away it's ridiculous ok thank you patty ya'll write down the seven pens right below the section i have to tell your dad.

yeah. anyway here's more from the forbes article this past december the inspector general report indicates that unsupported adjustments are the result of the defense department's failure to correct system deficiencies you're blaming sproule years of dollars on failure to correct system deficiencies that's like saying i had sex with a widow with a hundred thousand waggled hairless aardvarks. because i wasn't looking where i was walking. slowly and said ok let's do this and we do a lightning round here where we go through all of these catastrophic problems with the twenty sixteen election and we see which ones we've fixed for the upcoming election are the voting machines any better nope are the exit polls any better no do we have

a right choice of voting no do we have paper ballots not in most areas do we have one chain voting no that would be to verify a boat. we ended or altered the electoral system nope are we allowing third parties into the debates generally know as we wait in line at the polling places for three hours do people come around entertain us give us food massage. geno's no no they do not. put an end to money in politics which is what's really at the heart of why our society is joe screwed up every day now you have we put an end to provisional ballots really pussy bow ballots never you know one we put an end to interstate cross-check not happening have we put an end to gerrymandering and have we put an end to voter suppression laws no can do has the d.n.c. faced any consequences for rigging the primary. no

sorry bob. we've put an end to top secret voting software machines we can't check nine in but. but a russian click bait farm is on the lam for posting this image of bernie in a way. that you really really want of the images. from the mall or die but what we're devoting all our resources and all our mainstream media and all of our politicians time and money to figuring out a way to deal with that image. you want to know your budget and since you want to are powerful and it is. i'm not homophobic i just turned thirty i just now i am is that list of all the ways our democracy is screwed makes you want to slit your wrists with an i voted sticker you are not alone but i've got some good news

there are several court cases going for it to demand publicly viewable ballot images this would make it way harder to undermine the integrity of our elections instead our government would be able to focus on winning other things like say countries that want to drop the us dollar which we shows us is a practice that's uniquely american like wearing george. losing your factory job making george to a robot check it out this is a funny little habit of invading and destroying countries that stop using the dollar it has been so lugs that you start to realize it's a bit of a trend it is good you know and i like if you have a friend who is like dating a stark raving mad girl with no sense of humor and you're like jesus christ what is wrong with nerve and then he brags over there you know that now we're going to hang out again and then he starts dating another one exactly. yeah i

guess that's his type you know do you like swimming or throw blenders at his head and punch through dry wall and that's his thing well invading and destroying countries that drop the petrodollar is starting to look like our thing. as the guardian reported in october two thousand rock insisted on dumping the us dollar the currency of the enemy for the more multilateral euro so not long after that the bush administration desperately wanted to force the w m d intelligence agency had to make it fit for innovation we now know the w m d story was. so large it had other smaller a horse orbiting. so clearly there were other reasons the u.s. needed to invade and one of the biggest ones was saddam switch away from the dollar but that's not all soon after libya began moving towards an african gold based

currency and lining up all of their african neighbors to join them we invaded them as well with the help of nato author alan brown pointed out this fact at the time of the invasion he says gadhafi initiated a movement to refuse the dollar and the euro and called on arab and african nations to use a new currency instead the gold dinar john perkins the author of confessions of an economic hitman great book he has also said that the true reason for the attack on libya was good doppies move away from the dollar and the euro clearly all about the banking all right if you've been watching independent outside the mainstream news then you know that a week ago there was an absolute massacre in gaza israeli snipers simply opened fire on thousands of unarmed palestinians killing at least eighteen and wounding well over a thousand videos have been released of snipers shooting protesters while they were

simply you know walking around or praying but if you turned on the mainstream corporate media and in the rare moment they covered it we had to really look for these videos try and find their reporting on it and in the rare moment they did you get a more vague mysterious view of events the european union is calling for a transparent investigation this after the deaths of seventeen palestinians in clashes with israeli troops on friday guests of seventeen palestinians but out of date who knows it may go open to interpretation like a like a rumor or shack massacre you know it's a rorschach occurred it was crazy nobody knows nobody knows how they died maybe maybe maybe they were playing pickle ball and things got out of hand you know it maybe maybe they ate some bad raul. easters of the gaza seven eleven they should have known never eat the oysters that are sold next to a homicide cannon all right everyone knows that everyone knows that by the way

pepsi almost actually awful don't care hundreds of palestinians will be under arrest took place on the gaza border hundreds were wounded in the own rest by walk by who they were and they were just wounded they were they were wounded you know like there's other things just happened like a like a rainstorm or sleeping with your wife sister it just happens you don't know she was slept with that's all you. know you know so big point is it encrypted ledger of transactions that is global fast and free to use and perhaps the best way to explain it is to go through the arguments people have against it people say it's not backed by anything in the by does that back by that there's no you know there's nothing to do you can hold you like i have a thing you know big going has no chickens ok there's no chicken right. but neither does the u.s. dollar it's not backed by anything either and over ninety percent of u.s.

dollars aren't even printed so you can't even point to a green piece of paper with a racist white dude and say they're yet. in the u.k. that. big point is not the first digital currency because the u.s. dollar is a digital currency it's most of it is only on computers created by secretive central banks run by fact guys sitting around a long boardroom table sweating through their blazers and each and underneath their moves you know. the reality of the situation. the federal reserve is a private entity and the federal reserve banks twenty fifteen estimated net income was a hundred point two billion dollars they didn't. ransford approximately ninety seven point seven billion of that to the u.s. treasury so that means they profit about two point five billion dollars simply for

growing. fears ramadi. and to keep in mind keep in mind it's not printed all right most of the so really they get two point five billion dollars we're just going. by the. edges that. we have to go to a quick break but don't forget you can watch all of our videos at youtube dot com slash we're back to tonight and make sure to follow us on twitter at redacted tonight we'll be right back. with politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line. they did accept or reject. so if you want to present. something wanted. to go right. it's likely. to be that. interesting.

welcome back to redacted tonight pop quiz what do the u.s. backed war in yemen disaster capitalism and radioactive drinking water have in common. if you said signs the world is ending you get partial credit because they're also among the many topics we're back to correspondents john a full donnel naomi caravan and yours truly have covered in depth for you check it out it's time for an update on the saudi war on yemen the poorest country in the middle east and if this is the first you're hearing of it there is a forty year long war on yemen and there is a head up your ass and it's probably been there for more than four years many

americans suffer from this head of a demick which is the most severe at m.s.m. the scene headquarters where in all of twenty seventeen and some b.b.c. only aired one broadcast on the u.s. backed saudi air strikes that have killed thousands of yemeni civilians and ran nearly five thousand percent more segments that mention russia however to m.s.m. b.c.s. credit they did devote significant airtime to an investigation into the business of boyfriends backstreet boys are actually still together so they are there twenty years together. i guess who want to answer that right there a man bad. but does a backstreet boy know he can really this question is almost as important as a population suffering from the largest cholera outbreak in modern history eight million

people at risk of famine and over twenty three million people in need of aid it's the largest humanitarian crisis on earth let's take a quick look at how c.b.s. reported on this catastrophe last month yemen civil war has been going on for nearly three years sometimes we sort of lose track of these things because they happen in faraway places how can america keep track of this civil war when the saudis are borrowing american tracking devices and intelligence to drop american. bombs from planes fueled with american oil on civilians targets we've lost track of include schools hospitals and areas of food production because ten threatened saudi arabia like a dairy farm lactose which is known to paralyze intolerant troops into cheston is the newest form of bio warfare that international long has yet to legislate against

we should all be wary of child soldiers wielding. author iommi klein says the corporate and political elites from outside of puerto rico every time exploiting hurricane maria's trauma to push forward false and ruinous solutions from the privatization of the central services to attacks on education with its privatization policy ah private is a thing in the dictionary definition is transfer from public to private ownership and control but that's not visceral enough it's more like transfer from public to private hell bent for profit interests that don't care if you slip in the shower and break your collarbone and then when you're struggling to get up a rhinoceros barges in and impales you through your solar plexus and you bleed out on the cold wet floor. too visceral now. klein goes on to say in this context of the rampant disaster of capitalism there is an urgent moral imperative to inform leading people to know the real roots of the superimposed

crisis that is falling on these islands with climate change the races system brutal austerity illegitimate and odious debt and colonial is easy the government doesn't want the people to have context that might in the form of why this crisis is continue to unfold does anything about this guy's response to the hurricane make you think he's interested in context. not really a context. not his that. hey maybe the mayor of san juan puerto rico carmen yulian cruz can enlighten us on what type of privatization is that we're facing up private to say shit on the energy front we're also facing province ascension of the educational point the local government a puerto rico has introduced the concept of charter schools and has said that it's

going to privatized schools it almost seems like the perfect storm for disaster economics or. what they call the sasser capitalism everything seems to be out there for sale everything is out there for sale puerto rico is even selling this retro oven mitt from the nine hundred eighty. no takers while the brother filter can capture things like a lead in mercury what it can't capture is radiation which is unfortunate given a recent environmental working group study finds one hundred seventy million americans have cancer causing radioactive elements in their drinking water the study use. california's two thousand and six standard for allowable levels of radiation and water since one thousand nine hundred seventy six was the last time the e.p.a. issued standards. and the e.p.a. could stand an update considering that only

a few decades earlier americans could purchase reda for an energy drink filled with radium that promise not only to provide energy but your impotence of course of i ask any man if he was willing to let his bones disintegrate in order for the glow like darth vader's lightsaber on the death star i think i know what he wouldn't say. texas has the most widespread contamination not just because of the toxic idiocy that spewed from the mouths of its last three governors but because the texas commission on environmental quality outright lied to the e.p.a. for several years about the level of radiation in its water under the leadership of cher kathleen hart at white the commission falsified data because she said e.p.a. standards for radiation levels and water were too protective and expensive to

follow even though the commission admitted in two thousand and one that some types of radiation in the tap water of some texas communities pose an increased lifetime cancer risk of one in four hundred a local news team in houston pressed hard at white on the commission's decision what if you're wrong well if you win you have there's all kinds of ways in the what if you're wrong and e.p.a. was right well i don't see what do you mean and what if you are wrong and if you are right about there being a danger that it would be it would be regrettable yeah that would be regrettable. almost as regrettable as trump nominating her not tobar to have the white house council on environmental quality even though democrats blocked her nomination in december from decide at this moment to renominate her. crazy right. since that piece the white house actually withdrew hartnett white's nomination

which is the least they could do. and i am being that quite literally as this administration is doing the bare minimum just like m s n b c is doing the bare minimum when it comes to presenting progressive issues on a supposedly left leaning network which naomi was more than happy to call them out on saturday they feared phil donahue his opposition to the iraq war would be bad for business so they got rid of the show they were terrified of the any war voice and that is not an overstatement and the war voices were popular and if you are general electric you certainly don't want to have war voice on a cable channel that you won't. rumsfeld's your biggest customer today downing you just doesn't have the credentials to work at the station unlike bill kristol who could say that for the iraq war saying it would last only two months now kristol would argue that time is a construct and we need to destroy that construct despite

a lack of proof that the construct even exists and all the evidence of that construct comes from western countries who would profit from invading the country where the construct supposedly exists while millions of innocent people die all in the name of destroying. health and network is a reunion of bush era neo cons and corporate establishment democrats having noontime wine and that's becoming the standard of us media where the voices against war climate change the pillaging of wall street our absence and when someone tries to bring up a progressive issue like ending mass surveillance this is what happens congresswoman let me interrupt you just for a moment we've got some breaking news out of miami. right now in miami justin bieber has been arrested on a number of charges the charges read in the charges. including resisting arrest and

driving under the influence so i think it's fair to say that c.n.n. has been having a rough go of it lately but don't worry they've redeem themselves by revealing a truth bomb of a story that exposes the single clearest example ever of the mass media collaborating with the oligarchies oh wait they're the ones doing it so what is your message to president assad. there. me and that was buried and you know and then now that adorable girl is baba oliver she's eight years old seven at the time of that interview and a syrian refugee living in turkey she's gotten widespread coverage by western mainstream media because of her viral tweets from war torn aleppo the only problem

is she's fake a man. and i don't mean like she's actually a forty eight year old truck driver or she's being played by prolific method actor daniel day lewis although he could pull it off i agree she's a seven year old girl but she's clearly reading words she doesn't understand syllable by syllable from a script to push regime change made. a one. that she's around. reacts. and good in school and needs a nice we can to get her back we can change and we can together we can help them and trust me i take no pleasure in making fun of a little girl struggle to read well maybe a little bit i have a modest but this is crazy she's been exploited by a large entity she can't possibly understand. oh god same thing happened to me

in those how to hairstyling videos. they were going to thoughts of shut down the styles on the mom i love her style and lacks just can't get it. how do you know that lady was going to manage and that might add but it was a sock puppet according to a usa today investigation the v.a. knowingly hires doctors but past malpractise claims and discipline for poor care one of those doctors a neurosurgeon named john henry schneider has twelve malpractise claims filed against them in fifteen years. including getting his license to practice and yanked after a patient died. but even though schneider was upfront with the v.a. about all of the shortcomings in his application the v.a. still hired him after a group of his the medical peers thoroughly reviewed as far away and approved his competency his hiring isn't

a huge surprise considering his group of medical peers consisted of dr nick riviera dr bunsen honeydew and. i don't even think bigger has the credentials to take someone's blood pressure my systolic and diastolic blood pressure can't both be me. this falls in line with a pattern of misconduct that has continued under multiple administrations spent nearly six point seven million dollars to secretly settle cases but problem boys including medical professionals who committed negligence and misconduct and were allowed to resign with clean references but what makes the v.a. attractive to medical professionals with background histories shady or than the stare maxine waters gives you when you won't let her reclaim her time is that at the v.a. you need to have meld rancorous insurance your taxpayer dollars are paying for claims filed against doctors that never should have been hired in the first place

like david houlihan a psychiatry flagged by the iowa board of medicine doled out so many narcotic drugs at a wisconsin v.a. hospital that he went on to earn the nickname the handyman rumor has it if you say his name five times or facing a mere he shows up to your house for as he had made and hire only out of santa spills that's our show but we've got all the new redacted tonight coming next friday and in the meantime for more of our content just text the word redact at the for for for now. i ninety nine it's free and easy i'm not a limit kill good night and keep fighting.

ministries police forces and city administrations of many countries depend on one corporation in the us but mike was hoping the boy doesn't want to compromise i'm god i'm just going the guns and not the woods as the theory that these are going into the city it's just us who climbed proprietary software you don't know the source code isn't that a such a security risk when you have a black box operating the public eye to microsoft dependency puts governments under cyber threat and not only that you seem to think softness can put us in more when we close the office of the assistant is it selling just one of them or. almost the whole mystery. with. these this is the i still post i'm done with the all business stopping there was a student who was

a fund is up and his cards on the side of. the headlines on r.t. frogs and belgium are through to the world cup semifinals after a victory is that left that fans ecstatic. all. was on tonight we'll find out who will be going head to head in the other seventy five with the hosts russia among the contenders. making some of us what we did to his us but. each should also should look to release it with the t.v. and other news here on our t.v. chemical weapons watchdog the o p c w says no traces of nerve agent have been found
