he of philosophy well now act a little stricken pyramid this being exploited by terrorists like jeff bezos is milking the system and buying influential newspapers and bribing politicians and creating it dystopian nightmare people living in their cars so that he can be like he has more money than he would ever mean with it doesn't want to do it at all i mean it's like he's horny he's a hoarder there's people who are from books in their apartment and they just they can't live there anymore because there's nothing but phone books this guy is like just around he's hoarding cash is the nothing to do with it he's just a hoarder i want to quickly turn to the last headline which i think ties together all of those growing wealth gap between young and old remember jeff bezos newspaper washington post as democracy dies in darkness and one thing you could say about democracy is you know the more vote you have the more you win and the more you gain and we've seen the baby boomers turning sixty five as of what two or three years ago and this growing wealth and income gap is really down to age so they said that elderly households have much greater wealth in child households which is to be

expected because older households have had more time to accumulate wealth the trouble lies in the growing gap between the two types of households in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine elderly households had a median net worth that was approximately three point eight times that of child households i households with children under eighteen by twenty thirteen their median net worth was now twelve and a half times as high as those with children under eighteen in the house whenever a sit job or approaching me for pennies and nickels i scoot get out of here you go where you poor children. the baby boomers were not given anyway but anyway that point is that it's only natural that baby boomers were vote for policies that help them i house price booms and stock price things and it disenfranchised the bottom you know age groups but this is o.e. deal and tough luck buddy get a job. kids get a job we're going to take

a break for the second half. by. the church secret indeed catholic priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it quite literally i like to call this the geographic solution so what the bishop needs to do then he finds out that the priest is is a perpetrator is simply moves him to

a different spot where the previous standards not not the highest ranks of the catholic church help conceal the accused priests from the police and justice system to that of those known as the i and then i think you'll hear that it used this out in. its path.

welcome back to the cause report imax kaiser let's go to boulder colorado and speak with michael krieger of liberty let's create a dot com michael welcome back hello max it's great to be back on with you all right then colorado home of the resistance you know putting up billboards for the dopey the oh is a place with a hammer and sickle like a big red billboard the red scare is michael here in colorado what's happening you know i saw i saw that headline i just checked real quick as you were it was it's in parents out in grand junction and i'm not sure who's responsible for the grand junction is really far away it's all the way in the western part of the state i'm not really even familiar with the area so much was not like it was in denver or boulder or anything like that yeah it's just you know it's this is russia gate it's a pretty it's a weapon that's all it's just a weapon of the establishment that they're trying to they're trying to use to keep

their power and their relevance that city needs it's such an obvious scam i don't even know how anyone falls for it but hey that's the environment we're in properly not enough people are falling for it because trump's ratings are through the roof on the upside and the democrats are putting together any kind of opposition whatsoever now what does underline this political doraine threat michael kraig or its cable news ratings driven we've made that point on the show before it's just a part of natural of saturday that befalls the ruling class during a disintegration of empire how would you what would you put this sure ratings is is something that you know keeps it alive for sure but i definitely don't think that's the driver i think your second your second assessment is absolutely you know it's the nail on the head that's exactly what it is that's all it is needs to be seen in the context of a lot of different things but primarily essentially empire right an imperial system that has been had that has been run for decades now by donors and corrupt

politicians and bureaucrats that have completely destroyed. the country allocated all of the wealth and resources to a tinier and tinier sliver of the population and that created a lot of animosity and then the financial you know crisis and bailouts and how that was all handled was the final straw and so you know as i'm aware as i've said forever a lot of people that voted for trump don't really like trump it was just a middle finger it was just a way to say you know what let's just let's just try something new even though this might be crazy and i'm not even sure it'll work out anything's better than the status quo anything's better than hillary and then you know the trump derangement syndrome in russia gate is just a way for people in power or that were previously respected quote unquote to continue to be respected in power and the reason you know that's all it is the one the final proof beyond everything else in my opinion is the fact that you have neo cons and establishment democrats like rachel maddow joined at the hip now you know at these max boots bill crystal's david frum's like they're they're the resistance

heroes now or as some like to call it the assistant's which i think is better so so that's what it is and it's crazy because you look at the it's the biggest failures in american history coming together and talking about russia twenty four seven to try to continue to meet the relevance like and it's like cancer and herpes you know coming together and getting on m.s. n.b.c. with the you know tumors and sores and telling you come to us come to us will save you from putin it's pathetic wow that's not a pretty picture you know you mentioned bill kristol there and it is amazing that for a long time he was vilified as a warmonger a bloody bill kristol all by the left and then because they needa an assassin because they need someone with no moral or ethics at all the left aside bring them up and say well here's our guy sick him on here we know he's dangerous. have no comp moral compass whatsoever now your latest blog post reads quote us tech

giants are too big to power. full and now are running into serious trouble we have google being evil in china we've got facebook banning american anti-fascist activists and calling them russians ok what's going on is to work out a loss if the stuff what's going on sure and you know i've been a huge proponent of social media even though i haven't liked facebook for a long time i've been able to see that for the most part let's just take facebook and twitter they have been reasonably neutral i mean they've been getting worse over the last few years particularly after trump won but they have been platforms and people have across the but you know the sort of the you know the digital public square and so people throughout you know society have been able to say whatever they want on these platforms and again trump winning is what changed everything as far as politicians view of these platforms because now they realize that oh no when the rabble is allowed to talk to each other and say whatever they want we lose

control of the narrative and then we can install whatever presidential puppet we want and so that's a total freak out and and so now you're dealing with a combination of two things with these tech giants one they're so enormous they're almost like governments in themselves and then to these plot clips facebook in particular and twitter are platforms that allowed people to make decisions on current events on their own and politicians are now very upset about that so they're just going to start saying everything that is not a mainstream media approved talking point is somehow linked to russia and as you mentioned these activists in d.c. had their had their page removed by facebook these are american citizens because facebook decided to they wanted to appease politicians and call it linked to russia they harkens back to recall the arab spring that was called the facebook revolution the people around the state barack was overthrown. with an era so the u.s.

came back in a re-install of barack basically. along those lines this. so that was a clear indication that this whole democratization of communication and the democracy spreading from the lawyers of american entrepreneurial as i'm was fake news that was a fake story but i just focused for a second on it touched on it there. the facebook banning these anti-fascists so there were fastest there were neo nazis on facebook and then a group of merged to confront the nazis and facebook banned the nazis banned the anti nazis and then. maddog picked up the story as if somehow this is tied into russia right so may stream media echoing a blatant miscarriage of speech in the name of a hoax call russia gate. tell us tell us a good good if you want to comment on the so two points on first of all if you look

at what facebook did the other day right with banning these thirty two pages or so across their platforms nay said specifically we cannot link these to russia that's what they set and then of course mark warner you know who's this big russia gator democrat from virginia senator he comes out and says see this is proof that the kremlin is continuing to meddle with our democracy yet facebook themselves said they couldn't tie it to russia so that's what happens is something you know facebook gives them a little bit of a breadcrumb and then they start making up stories linking it to russia it's absolute madness but here's where also gets interesting in that piece that you referred to in his moto you know these activists were trying to figure out well what makes you think these things are suspicious and apparently it has to do with people running these pages using v p n's or two or and then the question was asked the facebook well is that what you're saying if someone uses a v.p.n. or tor that they're automatically you know happy russian and facebook wouldn't

respond they wouldn't give any other reasons that they thought it was suspicious so it's a really it's a really sketchy time we live in now we're facebook is under tremendous political pressure to find what politicians want them to find and in the process you know if you activists get steamrolled and we get less free speech who cares right that story that came out this week about air marshals on flights who are now following people off the plane they they anticipate will they have no reason to suspect them but they're just following them as part of the expansion of the surveillance state and the definition of perhaps of why they did follow them what may well they look funny they look they're agitated so now you've got a secret police force of america following people without notification and. who is benefiting by all this michael fare yeah there you go right so it's the quiet skies program that the boston globe yes so i mean it's crazy you read about this and the good thing it only good news is that a lot of this is. coming out because employees of the federal air marshal program

are are doing this job does work and they're saying themselves this is crazy why are we doing this we're spying on other citizens in one case i don't know if you if you saw this but they were tracking is southwest airlines up flight attendant and they're just like what are we doing so it's become so surge now that at least some of the people being paid to spy on the film citizens are saying this is crazy i don't want to do this anymore but you make the bigger point which is that it's all about social control if you look at the trends in america and it continues to this day the overarching corporate government established it is obsessed with keeping the citizenry in line keeping them scared keeping them surveilled making sure that they can't you know get out of this overton window of conversation you know as chomsky said the best the best way to keep people acid in obedient is to allow lively debate debate within a very narrow range of issues but not outside of those issues and that's essentially what facebook is now trying to do to the american public yeah i noticed

that you can see it you know just anecdotally in america's humor the late night comics and things like this they're they're not funny anymore that they actually get up when they do tragedy or there is a case of a woman who switched from doing standup comedy to stand up tragedy it now and the one thing about in out not to germany for example is that there wasn't a lot of stand up comedy at that dinner and you know in berlin during those years you know that this is what happens when people lose their soul and lose their. perspective on life they become days humorless drones working for the surveillance state and you can sit in the complete lack of humor in stephen called bear or jimmy fallon who have now become just puppets far the state sadly now tell us more about google being evil in china yes so this is another really interesting thing where i mention with the federal air marshals some of them are rebelling you know ghouls how. a bit of a saga recently where their executives in particular are very aggressively pushing

closer collaboration with government so if you recall the project me even is the drone program that google has it has with the pentagon and the actually a lot of google employees resigned publicly because they were so disgusted with google doing that and there was a huge protest within google from from other employees and google actually at the backtrack but what you saw from leaked e-mails is that google executives were wanted to do it you know they were trying to you know basically propagandized their employees to say it was ok so the exit where you see now is an interesting split between some ethical google employees and google executives who have absolutely no morals whatsoever and the recent push broken by the story was broke by the intercept yesterday is to specifically create an app in china a google app that will will add here to every single censorship request the chart or terry in chinese government wants banning any searches related to human rights

democracy free speech tiananmen square images will be blocked so my point was essentially if google goes through with this google will be directly helping an authoritarian foreign government maintain its grip on power for money that's a big big deal and people need to be aware that's very disturbing right we have thirty seconds left can you talk about jeff bezos areas one hundred fifty billion made fifty billion just over the past few erle what's wrong with this is good or bad like ok or yeah i mean i think i think that the days o's and amazon are one of the biggest threats we actually face right now in this country because if you read some of the literature on what they're trying to do they're not just trying to sell you stuff on the internet they're trying to control commerce completely by controlling the platforms of commerce and of course in china they have a new social scar it's like a root it moody's index for people so if you look at sideways at a. policeman you can't get on an airplane anyway michael krieger. chock full of

goodies we're going to keep you on for a second segment if that's ok with you sounds wonderful ok that's going to do it for this edition of the kaiser report with me max kaiser stacy her we want to thank our guest michael trager for catch us on twitter as kaiser report that's it for now i. i'm going to stop of both some of this because the.

last time we chased. each one of them carrying twenty kilos of drugs. first offense. is that they just step. into the frame we have made the money. they have assisted. me. even if. i don't know maybe they don't make or. break. for now well. i. would hope his hands to do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want. to going to be for us it's

like them before three in the morning and people. might be interested always in the arms of. first. of all the starts moving toward issues don't google so diageo at least first thanks. to hush. the stay at the local. let me. run. around eight hundred eighty two leave it to most rigid. groups or something but as the senior. was the right. thing neutral would just look at it. for me that's.

good the gear is really it's a real. remove with a very. good torch and if you know what. i mean bird. or little smile at. the kremlin blasting the u.s. sanctions on russia restrictions are a response to what washington abuses russia's poisoning of double agents powell and his daughter in march also. relies on us from the experts to tackle foreign influence on its platform we take a look at how it effects freedom of speech online also and you might find the upcoming pictures just being over forty civilians including children reportedly

killed as a saudi airstrike the school bus in yemen the coalition says it was a legitimate military operation in accordance with international law. demanding the return of the sacred statues of stone more than one hundred years ago and now on display at the british museum we are physics is there it should be given back. we've got a. british empire. and i think it's part of our heritage so it's just our history. for the welcome just gone six pm here in moscow you with r.t. international. is calling on britain to make public its work on making stars military toxic substances this comes after america unveiled fresh penalties for what it calls moscow's poisoning of double agents powell and his daughter in the

u.k. back in march russia has consistently denied the claims were discussed the new sanctions with initial. the united states. two thousand and eighteen determined that the government of the russian federation has used chemical biological weapons against its own nationals despite any new evidence coming to light the us wants to impose sanctions on russia and this is in regards to the form of poisoning of form of double agent sake a script and his daughter back in march now the sanctions will be implemented and two sets the fifth set will ban licenses for the export of sensitive national security goods to russia including electronic items and these kind of exports have been previously allowed on a case by case basis the second round of sanctions though will be more severe this will be the prohibit us baron colognes the ten minute carrier landing rights which

we could affect flights from russia to the u.s. and fed the restrictions on exports and imports as well but the u.s. says they that the second round of sanctions will come into effect unless russia provides reliable assurances that it won't use chemical weapons in the future and agrees to on site checks by the u.n. but when you say reliable assurances it was last year twenty seventeen years of national community the o.p.c. w confirmed the destruction of all chemical weapons in russia exactly the chemical weapons watchdog verified the destruction and can fend this in september two thousand and seventeen but we're still waiting for now evidence as to why sanctions of being imposed now and the u.s. has already implemented measures you might remember that around sixty diplomats were expelled by the u.s. last spring when this saga fest escalated but when questions at the press

conference the state department official didn't mention any fed the reasoning behind the sanctions whether this was because of old evidence or new evidence let's take a listen to what they had to say. where are you getting the conclusion that fresh is behind the screen poisoning i will leave it to others to characterize the current state of our understanding of the screen. we've been very clear that we agree with the assessment that it was a joke agent and that the perpetrator was ultimately the russian federation i leave it to others to give those kinds of details of what we currently understand obviously from reading the press it appears that their investigation is ongoing in terms of the scope and nature of the details and its implications but i'll leave that to others the key words there from the official swear a leave it to others to give the details so whether the u.s. wants the u.k. to disclose the evidence behind the attack remains to be seen and the u.s. is now skating around the reasoning at the moment issuing fresh sanctions without

fresh evidence and all the while russian officials here in moscow keep asking for transparency for evidence to keep asking can russia be involved in this investigation and yet are we to understand the basis of the yukos evidence still falls on the quote highly likely stance well the case views on there always has been highly likely that russia is behind this attack saying that only russia has the motives the means and the record to target the school pals and moreover as well moscow has repeatedly denied involvement with this offering offering like you said cooperation on the investigation which london has repeatedly denied but so far we know that the chemical weapons watchdog the a.p. c.w. and porton down haven't been able to confirm of the nerve agent we have nor verify the precise source but we provided the scientific information to the government but you have not been able to establish at porton down that this was

made in russia as i said it's our job to provide eat you know the scientific evidence that identifies what the particular nerve agent is but it's not our job to go and see where that. actually it was manufactured typically your not able at porton down to say where it is from we haven't yet been able to do that neither the . analysis nor the o.p.c. w.'s report i did to find the country. of origin of the agent used in this attack and now we're left with this highly likely stance from the u.k. and the u.s. is issuing this fresh round of sanctions but we haven't seen any new information come to light here in the sanctions are thought to be imposed on or around august the twenty second in the meantime the u.k. prime minister's office has welcomed the new batch of u.s. sanctions on russia the russian embassy saying it only wants transparency it still asks can we please to be a part of this investigation by the russian embassy calling these sanctions

describing them as draconian measures. ok let's get the thoughts now russia analyst martin mccauley who joins us martin good evening russia's foreign ministry today again noted that washington hasn't provided any evidence to back up these accusations why aren't we seeing any evidence do you think from authorities in washington or london for that matter. well i think it is a matter of the security services both in the united states and britain not willing to divulge their sources. the americans have come up with the same conclusion as the british that novacek is an origin russian and therefore they say that is the responsibility of the russian government. they are unable of course to i did read the origin because nobody joke is available important down it's available in sweden

civilians in france and other places therefore this the origin the source the source of novacek there's no dispute that it was not a joke it was a nerve agent which was manufactured in russia in the one nine hundred ninety s. there's no dispute about that what a dispute about is the origin of the present batch and has other countries manufactured novacek bidding outside russia have they manufactured novacek and is novacek available internationally and these questions are critical questions and they not be constant because the americans security services and the british secret service do not wish to reveal their sources either outside russia or inside russia as a result of that though i mean you can understand that russia will say well we believe obviously we haven't done this that's what they're saying we believe that you're using this as a false pretext just to impose new sanctions i mean that's possible to say isn't it . yes that is possible because it surprised many people that after expelling

something like sixty russian diplomats back in the spring that this came out of the blue but of course it was due to the fact that the u.s. authorities were given ninety days to actually look into the origin of the nerve agent to extend to the identified as novacek and its source and it took them more than ninety days it took them almost four months and therefore they've come up know for president trump it is very very embarrassing time because he's trying to improve relations with russia will reduce the reporting has invited him to washington and then you've got this bombshell that. the more sanctions are being imposed and later on the second whole issue of sanctions appear to be very severe indeed ok martin it will leave it there but it was good to talk to you that was not a macauley author russia analyst thank you. thank you for. another

news today in yemen over forty civilians have reportedly been killed by a saudi led air strike most of them children the strike hit a school bus and the marketplace a word of warning you might find the upcoming images disturbing when according to the latest information from the red cross twenty nine children were killed all under the age of fifteen forty eight more were wounded including the children the strike hit the north of the country which is under who the rebel control the intervention against them started back in twenty fifth now the saudi led coalition has issued a statement over this latest attack saying the attack was a legitimate military operation in accordance with international humanitarian law riyadh also accuses hooty rebels of using children as human shields saudi arabia is being assisted by the united arab emirates in its incursion is not the first time this month the coalition has hit residential areas in fact a week ago an air raid and who died a seaport the main transit point for aid to yemen claimed the lives of fifty.
