took home an average of twenty six point three times as much income as the bottom ninety nine percent which increased from twenty five point three in two thousand and thirteen to be in the one percent nationally in two thousand and fifteen the family needed to make an income of just over four hundred thousand dollars before tax and according to the study nine states have income inequality gaps wider than the national gap labor economist at the keystone research center who coauthored the study mark price said the top one percent is capturing a bigger and bigger share of income that raises questions were voices often determined by access to money our concern is that a healthier economy is one where incomes are growing much faster at the bottom than they are and with president trump's recent tax cut bill giving breaks to all americans may not be enough to close the ever increasing wealth inequality between the rich and the poor inequality has reached new levels of absurdity there are some towns in the city of miami where the rich are being ousted by the even wealthier

where changes and poverty levels in golden beach indian creek and miami dade are being gentrified even further most notably in property values in the one nine hundred twenty s. half of the population lived in rural areas across the u.s. and all that time has shifted with people walking to metropolitan areas we remain far from bridging the gap with stagnant wages and lackluster legislation in washington their amount of stale r t. some very different change would be we've gotten better or even better at over inequality than we were at that i remember oppression early early bird and all sorts of ways you know even if this is not a wakeup call of people that there's still want to push this over to trickle down and over that all we've been wage will eventually give back to the poor no it's not how would it know at all no no no it's not going to happen one of the things i think that's interesting is you know we were just talking about an article on c.n.n. money. that suddenly people are prepared to much cash another brag ounce water day

investing which i don't know where they get those ideas this idea that we're not so we're we're just saving too much money and letting it sit around it should be invested and that's kind of where this goes the one percent get rich when when when the ninety nine percent invest ever in these little bets and then it grows to them making wild but it doesn't come back to those and she said when you're talking with people in rural communities. it's a much bigger issue and i think it's kind of ridiculous to think that people actually live exists it's pretty ridiculous because they're in a jar and if we go to break card watchers don't forget to let us know what it is because the topics we've covered have facebook and twitter zero four shows at our teeth dot com coming up comedian activist and former on the side of the corporatocracy randy credico joins us to discuss the latest on the fate of julie the songs and wiki leaks stay tuned to watch from the whole.

a. z. is says harlan kentucky. we always move the employees to the world ministry families leave the only. a co money said she would only let us know coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the wiser said. that it was a laugh to see these people the survivors of disappearing before their eyes. i remember thinking when i was younger that is anything ever happened to the coal mines here and that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in the million years i would see that and it's how it's happened.

supporters of julie masand have been on pins and needles this week after reports surfaced that the clock is indeed ticking down on the wiki leaks founder is time inside the ecuadorian embassy after the new president of ecuador lennan moreno implied as much as much has been living inside the embassy since seeking political asylum back on june nineteenth two thousand and twelve that's up. twenty two hundred days rumors abound that if expelled from the embassy could be arrested by u.k. police for skipping bail on a now drop swedish sexual assault charge and probably extradited to the united states to face long rumored charges on indictments earlier we were joined by long time supporter of john wiki leaks activist and comedian randy credico. randy always a pleasure to have you on i want to start by asking where do things currently stand with the possible impending expulsion of julian assange from the ecuadorian embassy

you know are we truly at the any day any hour any minute point. well it seems like that last week when president clinton was in spain and england and he made a couple of statements to the spanish press about we've got to do something right away it got a lot of us worried there is a growing movement out there right now there are demonstrations people are coalescing in support of julian as sons and all over social media and i think let them out on oh so all of that and he's in a very tough position he can either mollify the brits and mollify the u.s. or he could just be you know one of these guys that stands up rather than being liked but tista he'll be seen like a butt tista or a true hero or somoza if in fact he would have turned julian assigns over so it's really not in his interests in terms of his legacy to do this and he'll be the

scorn of south america he's got one card to play to maintain his dignity and that is not giving julian a sign over but you know i don't know there's a lot of pressure being exerted on him by the u.s. state department by the british government they have a lot of dirty laundry they don't want to get out that assad it may have his hands on i don't open. what it is but you know and what's going to happen but the ecuadoran president under a lot of pressure a so far has not turned him over they put out a statement today saying it's got to be negotiated but eventually he's got to get out of there he can't i mean right now it's like one hundred degrees in london there's no air conditioning in that embassy and it's a very tough situation for him i can imagine they're going to know randi no one knows but a lot of people are assuming that if he is forced out of the embassy that jillian

and will be at thirty and to the u.s. as one of his you have been one of his most ardent supporters what do you feel is the most egregious act fact of this scenario of him being kicked out of the embassy like that for extradition well if he's kicked out for extradition first of all he'll be debriefed he'll be put away by the brits may not have access to his lawyers he's got one of the greatest legal teams in the history of the human race at his disposal so there would be a big tug of war and england if in fact there is an arrest warrant on signs from the u.s. government is there one is it a bluff i don't know nobody knows for sure i've heard both sides of the coin and what would happen if he were to be extradited to the u.s. it would be a very bad precedent and the biggest problem here is is that the mainstream media is not circling the wagons they're circling the firing squads on the signs this in

the end is a is basically mass suicide they're committing by not supporting assad they must support him just to protect their own and many of these journalists of course are on corporate payrolls or or government payrolls we're talking about the mainstream media but at the end of the day they will be next if a science is brought here and tried under the s.p. . jack but you know it's possible they'll find a way to do it you know show me the guy and all find a crime that he committed that's that's the kind of. m.o. that they're running on another thing is is that the u.s. has a long history of trying to repress dissent particularly with journalists to go back to the alienness sedition acts and seven hundred ninety seven matthew lyon and jenna di a pack they were jailed for criticize and the alienness sedition act people were killed like eliza lovejoy who was against slavery and many others mark

twain was under a lot of pressure for criticizing the philippine war and it's gone on forever and they want to kill the messenger the u.s. government does and it is during the two red scares how many journalists were jailed so this this is not unprecedented and this leads me to in my next kind of question is how vital is julian assange has freedom and the fate of wiki leaks four of the sanctity of the euro of our u.s. constitution is first amendment and the future of whistleblowers at the end of the day if he goes down if wiki leaks is taken down you know about that's a big problem it's a huge terrible message about the state of the first amendment it's a huge that's a fatal blow to the first amendment because if they can find a way to get him they can find a way to get anybody so this is a dire warning to people out there who have not been in support fully in support of

julian assigns you better get on board because we're all in the same boat if you're a journalist you'll be next there and maybe tabitha being next who knows maybe even shut oddo get him you never know you when you go there and i've slope you never know and one of the things that's really kind of nerve to makes me think that this could happen this extradition of you know whatever they're going to charge him with and all i could have was a you know we're doing what trumps people which might pump a zero. called wiki leaks what was a state hospital near newsagency or something like that i mean it's ridiculous these guys yes right a non-state hostile agency something like that now but him and you've got jeff sessions you have a neo con cabinet look america and richard nixon said that american america's business is business what it should have said was america's business is war that's what america's businesses and so these people their business is war join

the signs puts a mirror to war crimes to torture acquisitions it invasions all of this they don't want that stuff to get out because it's their business and people who are connected to it you see them on television you see these guys you know clapper and brennan in a word and have that into t.v. then you have you have these reporters like a delaine ian and chuck todd and the two guys scioto and the cost that they're pushing for basically having a war you know what do they want a war for and so and so they're going at the response they have been his friend they've been attacking him so like i said these guys have an interest out there we want to continue look at adam schiff in congress he gets money from this russian not russian but a ukrainian arms dealer by the name of igor pasternak

a lot of money and forty percent of is daughters are from the military industrial complex they have a vested interest all of these people most of them were most vocal and assad's poses a threat sonce and whistleblowers pose a threat to those interests and that's why we need to like i said circle the wagons around julian assigns this like could be the most important case and. a century in this country but. what is it you do what do you think because they've been you know we haven't seen the new york times we haven't searched seen the washington post who are so out of man about press freedom and so adamant about our amendments and upholding all of our civil liberties at least their own do you believe that any of those corporate out will at some point come to chile and defend in this that i do i really do think so i think like i said right there is a was a small drink now it's

a growing international movement and supporter julian assange once i've never seen anything like this take hold it really is big there's a demonstration in front of the ecuadorian embassy in san francisco this wednesday every single day in london people are organizing and the press at the end of the day has got to be fearful if they were to drag this man who has committed no crime at all it's like a guy who's been in prison for twenty years and he gets out on d.n.a. well the d.n.a. here is called the first amendment that's the d.n.a. that should clear him of any wrongdoing he has been one hundred percent accurate has not even made one mistake as a journalists he set the high bar for and a lot of journalists are embarrass those who have sold out their embarrass joined us on just such a high bar an example that they can't even touch they've gone for the easy money and the stardom but they too could be very possible could be victims of this

war on the press is just a first person. you know what you know what's also interesting true is that when you look at the media how much money they've made off of what drew what wiki leaks has provided to them to remember the element to be an enemy but they're always willing to take is right and you know you know exactly where oh where oh where can we please speed us more thank you. you know something about it also plays a big deal in the good for the end of the day is that i think they will come around i think the those hugs i think immediate will prevail they're still going to be a lot of detractors but i'm hoping that those cards do wind up prevailing and so i know this is a first amendment issue this isn't a joint massage issue do you think that when i asked salute both of you actually were quick as i want to know do you feel like it because this is this there's a certain amount of political pandering going on here obviously do you think that if julian it's time to relieve donald trump of tax returns. do you think that

would be a moment where suddenly they would be like here's a year oh yes i did it right there it is really and louis is doing things that are not what he's doing it through who is doing it of and who he's doing it for that's a very good point if i have a few minutes to address tech is absolutely and i had this week we had this conversation i told him about a lie to love joy i said you're like a wiser lovejoy who was a a real strong anti-slavery abolitionist publisher eight hundred thirty seven slave power send somebody up into illinois drag him into the missouri river and destroy this printing press and then killed him but that didn't stop the press from continuing i said that's what you are julie got to put yourself and let's sell that he says wait a second it's a lot worse for me because i have angered everybody he angered these republicans back in two thousand and ten with the afghan and afghan iraq war logs

he pissed those people off his due to language and then the liberals or the moderates in the democratic party when he released the to put the ask the emails so he's got everybody because he doesn't take sides he's a publisher he got both sides upset with him so i'm sure if he were to put out trumps any try to get them that's the irony writer shit up. you know he tried to get trump's taxes he tried to get away from the guy put him out online so does what a publisher does he publishes interesting information important information and we never got that we did get think goodness we got the stuff on hillary clinton and we exposed we exposed to corruption in the democratic party the democratic party is the one that coded in this election the d.n.c. coded and helping donald trump when if it weren't for them if it weren't for they have a word for the shenanigans in the machinations of the democratic party this would

have never happened. as of july thirty first there were at least four major active wildfires in the state of california covering over a quarter of a million acres and most of those fires are currently only between ten and thirty percent contained but while some fires are proving a worthy foe the pasqual fire near san diego was no match for the best of the best firefighters the fire started on friday near the san diego zoo safari park and blistered three hundred sixty five acres coming very close to homes as you can see in this video from ramona california resident brant allen stephens his farm is less than two miles from the of actuations zone thanks to the brilliant flying of these pilots of these specially converted commercial wide body jet air tankers that drop water and the pink dyed fire retardant on the ridge near his home in the farm animals and homes in the area of the valley where say to the folks out there fighting the california wildfires all of you thank you for your service that's going to mean that i never see the commercial jetliner deployed back close to it

before you know really incredible through the economy is going flying that is really good why are they out of everyone in this world you're told you're in love with tell you all i love you i am tired old winter and on top of the list people are watching those orks another great day and night everybody. the idea of spending money to acquire region to acquire territory to acquire wealth is an oxymoron there no there is no more wealth to acquire the ecosystem is collapsing. the economy is flooded with worthless paper and the species is migrating over to the digital sphere feasibly these networks and platforms people are uploading their minds into cyberspace and hope to become immortal so every dollar spent on defense every dollar spent by the pentagon is

a wasted dollar that's a one thousand eight hundred seventeen sick. century mindset it's completely antiquated and it's utterly worthless. right we're all set to start in five guys in the studio has a signal. he's not going to talk about no fly just need right after the mars explorers one who would have their new. record. to say what he. knows he. told them to sophie and tell him so see share or not said today we've got

lots to talk about in our program and our gas to. little rock little. independent investigation traces of weapons find in former islamist strongholds in syria to western manufacturers. also and in the program it's revealed a month palmer was rescued from war stricken libya by the british navy in twenty forty three years before he killed twenty two people in the atrocity. on my world order as police in the u.s. state of oregon refused to respond to emergency calls from immigration agents being harassed by protesters against the president from don all the illegals.

on spain adopt new emergency measures to control the flow of red. into europe all the charts in italy claims migrant children are being sexually abused. the man offered to help and said he would shout to me in exchange for sexual services being alone with my father's friend who before continuing the journey subjected me to. and abuse me. from moscow to the world this is r t international my names you know neal hello and welcome our top story batches of weapons this covered in the former terrorist stronghold of eastern aleppo in syria have been traced back to western manufacturers and war correspondent robert fisk identified their origins through serial numbers and then tried to find out how the weapons had ended up in the of

islamist rebels from kill up and this is a weapons factory located in bosnia most likely you have never heard of it but it's here that the weapons were manufactured for one of the bloodiest battles in syria lots of homes were destroyed and lots of civilians were killed in western aleppo by those questionable rebels. we got it almost exactly eight o'clock in the morning and it happened at the worst possible time just as thousands of children would go into school the first shell actually came in between these buildings and then the children were on their way to school when a mortar shell landed the end by a few of them were killed i knew them they went to mar screw a thirteen year old ream lost her foot in a rebel shelling three weeks ago and that.

the rebels launched the rocket and it's ten o'clock in the morning seconds later it hit the national school of aleppo three of the children died on the spot so the rebels and now pushing closer and closer. we're in the al assad cell. and the rebels are pushing into aleppo again. by sunset nine dead over one hundred civilians injured. now most of those rebels are tied to the al qaeda linked al nusra a terrorist group but let's focus on those weapons that they used robert fisk an investigative reporter was able to trace those weapons back to that very factory in bosnia he was able to get a hold of the factories logbook and getting in touch with the former weapons

control director the director recognized his signature in the logbook and from there was able to determine who the buyer was it's a warranty for the hundred twenty millimeter mortar launch oh this is not a standard it went to saudi arabia it was posts of a supply of five hundred mortars i remember the the shipment will the saudis came to a factory to inspect the weapons at the beginning of twenty sixteen the response from saudi officials was pretty much a denial they said that the investigation was vague and undefined however their response seemed pretty vague as well so do you arabia is a leading voice within the international community in support of a diplomatic solution to the conflict in syria while at the same time working with our neighbors and allies to counter the growth of forces of extremism but it's not just saudi arabia the former weapons director says that nato and the united states

pretty much run the show at the weapons making facilities when the saudis came to a factory to inspect at the beginning of twenty sixteen there was a saudi minister and some saudi officers who was they came to inspect the weapons before receiving them the offices will civilian clothes the minister was in a robe or low production off to the bulls and war is under the control of the americans and nato who are always coming him and they know each and every piece of weaponry that leaves off factory. we also asked nato for a response but they didn't have any details to share even though the weapons were actually made to the nato standards need to doesn't own a transfer arms or i mean nation for and for the questions we would refer you to national authorities now another trace from the basement of this former terrorist base in aleppo is the markings on the casing of a missile now if you take a look the first number here this represents the type of missile the second number

however is the stock number you'll notice that it contains the figure zero one now that's the nato code representing the united states it turns out that this t o w anti-tank missile was manufactured at a facility in the united states by the raytheon systems company this missile would have been manufactured and sold by hughes raytheon absolutely legally to a nato nato or friendly he pro-american power government defense ministry you name it and they will exist for it's an end use this it if you get an e.u. see a document of impeccable provenance which will be signed by the bias in this case by the chaps who purchased the town missiles in very large numbers stating that they own the final recipients of the weapons this is not the first time this has happened syria is actually littered with weapons that are made to nato standards and some of which have actually been manufactured in the united states the question

now is how much do washington and nato know about their weapons falling into the hands of the very terrorists they claim to be fighting there is a deafening silence a purposeful lack of interest a purposeful apathy and the reason for this is simple the us government and the military industrial complex and the corporate owned media that functions as an echo chamber for the military industrial complex actually does not care the us government. those who they say aid and abet terrorism well guess what american war contractors are aiding and abetting terrorism but the u.s. judicial system the justice department the long arm of american law enforcement will not be used against these same military corporations which in fact they're subsidized receive a form of welfare from american taxpayers every year. you came media are reporting that the month of bomber was rescued from war torn libya

by the british navy in twenty fourteen three years before he carried out a terror attack and an army on the ground a pop concert the atrocity left twenty two dead the youngest an eight year old girl polly boyko reports. well according to media reports here in the u.k. three years before that deadly attack in manchester someone a baby had been rescued by the british government from libya it was part of an operation to rescue british citizens he was taken aboard a royal navy ship and taken to molt from where he reportedly then got a flight back to the u.k. and he'd been rescued by the british government even though he had been under the surveillance of the domestic intelligence agency here that's m i five now in terms of a baby's background he was born in the u.k.

but a libyan parent so he was a british citizen but in two thousand and eleven a baby's parents moved to join the uprising against the government of gadhafi and his father was thought to have been fighting in a terrorist group called the ally f.g. the libyan islamic fighting group and a baby was thought to sort of shuttled back and forth between the u.k. and libya for a number of years but he was thought to have been in libya in the summer of two thousand and fourteen and at that point the civil war had got increasingly violent and so british officials made this offer to evacuate british nationals from the country that's how a baby ended up being rescued and by the time of his rescue emery five had stopped monitoring him and the implication therefore is that he was simply considered safe to return back to the u.k.

that was reiterated to us by the. today in a statement they told us that sort of the government inquiry into what led up to the manchester attack it found that the decision to stop monitoring a base in two thousand and fourteen found on the basis of. information available at the time and although they didn't mention a baby by name in this statement to us they did confirm that the operation to rescue british citizens from libya in two thousand and fourteen took place during that era reaching security situation in libya in two thousand and fourteen but the force officials were deployed with the regulation of british nationals and their dependents and i think what the government has been keen to point out is that that decision to close the case and invade in two thousand and fourteen based on the information they had at the time the point they're making there is that now.
