trish. you love from time to time and. germany is not putin's only stop off on saturday before he gets there he's paying a social visit attending the wedding of austrian foreign minister. and businessman of wolfgang my linger for the ceremony taking place at a venue in austria styria region and while some i'm guessing where the putin will offer a dance to the bride or what present he might have for the couple others have slammed the foreign minister for daring to invite him. the u.s. department of defense plans to spend up to fifteen million dollars on enhancing the physical and insurance performance of soldiers but as caleb maupin explains such

programs have to be handled with care. actually did. hollywood science fiction often depicts the soldiers of just future with all the talk of a space force from donald trump and fighting robots across the silver screen our imagination has plenty of places to go. now on the surface a new grant from the pentagon for extramural biomedical research and development doesn't sound so bad the object is to create soldiers who can withstand even the harshest circumstances take a listen develop technologies to maximize the physiological performance of s.o.f. operators including enhanced in durance enhanced senses tolerance to environmental extremes and enhanced overall fitness in order to maintain operational posture

ability in high stress scenarios without noticeable augmentation and without hampering personnel mobility additionally the ability to accelerate the effects of sleep through methods requiring less time but a vivid picture i know the prototype. of these. going to the pros now let's give this a little context this won't be the first time that the u.s. military has engaged in this kind of research.

thank you. now at the time these grotesque experiments using american g.i.'s and civilians essentially as lab rats at the time they were taking place the public knew nothing about it it was all classified now the public documents indicate that these new experiments will not involve human beings only human simulators however anyone who is familiar with the not so well publicized very well documented history of u.s. military research they'll certainly raise an eyebrow. r.t. new york. city has been appearing in the spanish that here boss alone encouraging the holiday makers to jump off the hotel balconies some of it suggest that the

potential deadly practice known as balkan is actually fun and one of the messages mockingly claims it improves the quality of life for the locals now balcony can refer either to jumping into a pole from a balcony or climbing from one falcon need to another other risky activity is growing in popularity with tourists some hotels have banned it and also introduced fines. being the pro balcony graffiti that sprung up in barcelona has sparked some online anger and people pointing out that this year alone six people died performing the stunt and most of them were from the u.k. or ireland the u.k.

foreign office has warned brits against engaging in the practice of the victims were typically drunk and lost their balance had we went out and got reaction there from tourists on the streets of boss alona. thankfully you see where we need to go so that i am out last night ok then do so sir like many messages saying violence like you against terrorists i guess the same in them like they want to have to city for a job and they know it's important to maintain jobs to make some money out of your word and i think this is some kind of tax why can i have this many to respond to you on that it's not comfortable for and i've had to decipher this as well i think that's nice to see that's just so old and to so much change and it should be accepting the current foreign policy statements aggressive things to escape this it's the main source of anything. but nothing and i think since that. was

nice it took place if i would live here and i would see you guys ruining my city. hall style sometimes as well like quarter past the hour here in the russian capital yourself at a program continues in just about one minute. forget

about the back of the bus is the. wonder bread. to join us today on this saturday two palestinians were killed on the gaza strip on friday as protesters attempt to break through the border fence with israel now the demonstration is part of the great macho for tone which started back in march this year over one hundred seventy people have been killed by israeli soldiers not

period tel aviv says the protests are a couple of terrorists. without the latest demonstration. i listed news continue to protest for the twenty first friday they israelis continue to fire tear gas canisters and live ammunition on the policy of protestors. that the situation now is escalating as the palestinian protesters are trying to burn you to burn some tires to blur the vision of those already snipers there israeli forces continue to fly more to gas canisters on the palestinian protesters to disperse them and to keep them away from the friends at least two colace immunes injured in a very very critical condition as you see palestinians are are bracing the palestinian flag. throwing stones on the israeli snipers and this is how the palestinians have been constant in their eyes already snipers in the israeli forces

oh my god i live i mean this unit you guys come to stores are now being fired that gun on the palestinian protesters and as you see it's the fired on the part of student protesters where your gas canisters are being fired from on directions as you see the place is filled with with white smoke everyone is suffocating from the tear gas fired this is also one of the injuries are from the tear gas fired just right now. no signs for the first time i see this there is no sense of where the palestinian protesters have that but if you do break the fence well protesters are far too bad nobody ever. has that palestinians have that ability to break up fence dies or a forest is radically shooting live ammunition on the part of protesters that for one is going back. you know while the israeli defense forces say the response of

the troops to palestinians trying to break through the fence was in accordance with standard operating procedures another protest was held in the west bank this for. people marched peacefully against the demolition of a local village. and. i'm here to support the people of the village i hope that people come from all over to stand with them so we can be sovereign in our lands i listed an activist i had to meet me joining the protest and. the seventeen year old was recently released from prison after serving an eight month jail term for slapping an israeli soldier in december twenty seventh when she condemned israel's decision to demolish the village israel claims that it was built illegally and was offered to relocate locals to a neighboring site. so russia is at it again that's the claim in a new article in us magazine the atlantic says the kremlin has set its sights

firmly on meddling in the upcoming midterm elections with russia's objective being to weaken america the article go on to explain russia's alleged three step plan to breaking american democracy first unleashed the russian. second by corrupt us politicians and third support those who were thinking favorably of putin and it's not just the russian state that's coming under suspicion the atlantico also claims that this channel helps to undermine democracy by inviting all guests to question the mainstream narrative and name brand and as an example he's the founder of a movement encouraging democrats to walk away from their party the atlantic fails to address other outlets that also have him on a guest. well i i myself was a lifelong liberal democratic voter i would say kind of a democrat by default because i'm a gay man and i think that the expectation for

a lot of minority groups is that we are supposed to vote democrat and that we are supposed to be liberals friends strake is spent years as a liberal he now says he's concerned by what the left has become well before the election i was already starting to feel uncomfortable with where we were headed in terms of identity politics and p.c. culture. a political commentator line old told us what he thinks is behind the russia articles like the atlantic's. nobody ever calls these people to task they are paid for by volume or how many likes to do you get how many clicks hey that was a great article factually incorrect. factually a baseless and also the mentality just feeding frenzy of this this monster of this modest monster that you must feed constantly with this no rush no nato no bad guy no bogeyman so there's many reasons why the bookie made the straw man the

specter of the evil image of russia must be maintained because it fills because somebody talked about one time the power of nightmares it was a horrible b.b.c. documentary and you need something to see here you need something in historically in this post you know cold war a red baiting this russo phobic hysteria feeds into this is well and there is an audience for it. occupy london appears to be the latest victim of facebook's recent spree of shutting down pages of a social justice movement had its page taken down for several hours of the movement says this is not the first time that facebook has tried to censor its content occupy london is a social justice movement founded in twenty eleven and is part of a global movement that organize hundreds of protests typically against financial elites the movement says its founding values are equality and diversity of london has a significant social media presence with around one hundred and fifty thousand followers

on facebook now some say that certain pro palestine posts by occupy london might be to blame for facebook's action we have asked for his part to comment a social media giant has since apologized to occupy london saying it was all just one big mistake or george barda one of the movement's activists is not an entirely convinced. just you know sort of a blip in the state of the blue in probably would mean very much it's all but the problem is this is part of a massive rear guard action i think by the establishment you know anyone can go online and see the evidence this themselves chris hedges is a pulitzer prize winning journalist it's been one of those exposing most the details of this but effectively what's happened is that in the name of dealing with fake news and many progressive websites that have been a major part of you know bernie sanders jeremy corbin etc. they used they found the traffic going down. websites like alter net truthdig that you know mainstream

progressive websites are seeing the traffic go down by seventy percent literally and these algorithms devised in private nobody can inspect and have a huge impact on what information the world gets to see about what's going on and that's a hugely significant i see going forward the relevant thing today in terms of discussion is still a very powerful force online and has millions of people engaging with its posts and so it's very important that they and others like them on not in the name of fake news effectively removed from most people's internet searches and i think this is a huge issue going forward bearing in mind that google and facebook are very very close to the american establishment you know the washington post is owned by jeff bezos who was and amazon and support not surprisingly he's very keen on using the washington post to make sure that the internet allows his articles to come up at the top of such as an aunt. i just bought i wrapped up the program here on r.t. international for this hour thanks so much for sharing your saturday with us now

which at twelve twenty five pm here in moscow hope you can join us in about twenty five minutes for more of your worldwide headlines. i became a camera. roughly once they showed some leave for them. to videos and so on with the broken string i am. going down more on string i don't rightly don't t.v. .

this is the cuz a record show that goes deeper. so max we've been talking about social media quite a lot in the past year year and a half and the fact that these are giant monopolies that control much of the social media space however in this. hysteria that we've had since trump was elected and sure it was a shock to many in the corporate media that he won because they had promised with great certainty that it was ninety nine percent certain that hillary clinton was going to win the data they saw or they chose to look at was hillary clinton was going to win but that turned out to have been fake news they were wrong so since then we've had this whole backlash against fake news not the one they presented but what the individual citizens of america have been presenting so in the past week we

saw facebook shut down these pages of activist groups here in washington d.c. they shut down their facebook group because they said they acted like russians well it turns out they were actual citizens of america that are activists who were here in washington d.c. they were organizing to basically counter protest against the nazis that are coming into town to protest so they wanted to counter protest them facebook deleted them on the word of atlantic council and they're gone so also in the past week we saw under pressure from the resistance online that they took down a conspiracy theorist in the united states called alex jones they took down all his social media footprint that's a sentiment ordinated attack between you tube google the other google properties apple to come off their apple i to facebook they all i deleted him from existence really at the center at the same time within the same hour. and alex jones yeah

who's just basically a satirist he is said in court he's a performance artist there for the us to have a call there is the same certain act is that cold air love hates trump. and you know it is the part of the network that does the macabre so that's what they'll it's competition assert. you know this is this is. competitive behavior yet this was like a coordinated attack within one hour it all happened within one hour all the social media the big four because we always have big for everything big for accountants big four banks big for tech monopolies oligarch police and they all to come down of course this is quite similar to when wiki leaks was also coordinated to cut off from the financial grid and that was the beginning of this wave of censorship where of course it's it's not the government it's these private corporations and somehow they can cut you off from the grid that is really under the domain of the

government normally but that the monopoly for these many rails of our our economies and our societies have been handed to private corporations in the us it's not us something government it's these corporations well you know during the previous robber baron when gray wealth was accumulated by carnegie's in the melons and things like that there was a sense that they had enormous influence over society and then gauging the whole self-censorship and the stupak ation of the population know they want to be creating public libraries they said you know we can do we can educate people so that when they're faced with multiple messages from different allies they have the education to give themselves agency in this multimedia world and you had in the sixty's a word probably the apotheosis of the well informed educated media savvy american but since that time seventies of course off the gold standard replaced hard money

with money and junk money and junk media now you have the government saying that nobody in america has the intelligence to decipher what's right or wrong accurate not accurate fake news propaganda real news is did they come in and with that a giant diaper. said you need to wear this diaper all day long and will make sure you get a big hug because you're just a two people in need you can't have any of it but the fifty but in terms of our public squares our public spaces now our reality is that most people spend their time online that is where they meet up with other individuals that's where they you know assemble on twitter on facebook but there aren't very many different options for the critical mass that you get from those monopolies you know they say if you're with a friend in the words in the bear starts chasing you so you don't have to run the

berry just run your friend you know alex jones was i was the guy that figured they'd get first. but now that they've taken him off the air film like they're coming after me that it's a the truth because. they need complete unanimity in their message because remember they're hopped up to go to war and they want as many young men to sign up so they've got to get the propaganda machine rich deep strong and any dissent must be squashed well by the way alex jones is part of a long line of american sort of hucksterism of american talk radio that has been around for one hundred two hundred years that people have a lot of southerners especially talk like this there's a lot of snake oil salesman this is part of american history if you've ever read samak lyman's or mark twain or any of this literature of the are you know

eighteenth or nineteenth century america you would say this is like is no different from a long line of american freaks like this is what we do we're big car and same satirist like jonathan swift he out things about eating children and things that are patently over the top or orson welles the war of the worlds now if orson welles did more of the world today the martian lobby would come out and say that you're infringing upon martian transsexuals or a martians or green people and you're a man they needed their own bathroom right and then they would be pilloried and destroyed and one of the greatest authors of broadcasters motion picture and directors and writers in american history would have his career still crushed worse than the aftermath of citizen can't well again like who is who is deciding what speech is is fair with speech is good which feat speech is bad like who should be banned like i said they had led to council is a think tank who are financed by i think partly from the us state department but

mostly from like us government which by. like you can say a lot of things and a there is no first amendment there's no right to free speech there and yet they're getting to decide what is allowed to be heard by american citizens where we're supposed to be allowed to say whatever crazy idea comes into our head and not be punished for it we're allowed to assemble with freaks and not be punished for it because the hard protection but here the argument is a lot of people say well they're private companies and therefore they can block whoever they want because you don't have free speech on there but if they have a monopoly on those those rails of just like. television use it when we set three or four television channels and now we have i don't know thousands but before when we had one only a few television channels where everybody got their news they were more you know

they had to allow public access they had to allow every freak of america had a show locally in new york city or somewhere like that a number of these media companies all of sin going into the business of selling air and if you are a friend of the media companies you will be allowed to breathe air if you're not a friend of the media companies you will be a six year at it to death the airwaves are simply the public's public domain and when corporations with governments collude to diminish the public still maintain the public loses its ability to have a common space that would define itself in terms of western civilization we're going back to centrally to the dark ages where you've got feudal lords like these media barons who are rationing out. barest a minimalist type of self-sustaining little paper trinket dollar nonsense to keep

in slave population just healthy enough to keep clicking on it at facebook but not strong enough to stage a successful revolt that's feudalism that's coming right now it's happening here in washington d.c. be trample stop it maybe not the other thing i want to point out is that we have been covering this notion in china of the social credit score and if you have if you're a bad member of society and it could be things like you walked you jaywalked or you went over the speed limit at one point and the government gives you a social credit score that you get denied access to things like twitter to things like why it's a little pollution is so bad in china where a face mask masks and it's connected to your i phone connected to the government if you say something as a government they will turn down your oxygen into the mask may do is really i was in a row it's you get to zero your debt that's like saif i possibly future but right now

today everybody here and on m.s.n. b.c. on fox news on c.n.n. all the media agree on every commentator on twitter agrees that that is like totalitarianism this social credit score and yet they pushed for the same thing to happen alex jones basically he's been pulled from the grid in the same way that the chinese government is imposing on their citizens through the social credit score so it's very similar except for they're saying well because it's a private company because it's google and facebook and twitter that these are private companies it's not really the government telling from companies are operating out of the public airwaves. the apples trillion dollar market capitalization should be in part reimbursed to every american in there for a one k. plans or there are a plans as a stock dividend the fact that they can privately. remove from the public domain the wealth of the nation and in return give censorship and an extraordinarily

bankrupt few tile nightmarish quagmire of piss and write lists junk it is not american obviously well i mean of course there's censorship resistance on the block chain and there are alternatives developing and i reckon that this is going to be a good time for the censorship resistant sort of social media platforms like minds that com like steam and like all these other places where you can go and it's literally impossible to delete your content so it's out there and it's up there but in the meantime you know here again i just want to say that at least alex shows this conspiracy theories there's always the government behind every wacky conspiracy whether it's pizza gate or some other crazy theory but right now we have like lots of conspiracy theories presented on the mainstream media but those are kind of acceptable and they tend to be i believe my feeling is that when i watch

rachel maddow in particular she's kind of seems like very similar to me in my eyes to alex jones but her conspiracies are that not the government but the people of the united states the voters are somehow involved in a conspiracy against the government and against the elite the crazy conspiracy theorists there they're all worthless there are all manner the bus forget about the back of the bus just run them over with the we cuz we want rush limbaugh wonder bread and fake news so you die that's america hey i take a break come back right after this go away.
