ding of the country's foreign minister carrying nice little the ceremony took place at the video card in austria as styria state turned while some were guessing whether putin would offer a dance to the bride and what present he has to offer the couple others have slammed the foreign minister for daring to invite him. the u.s. department of defense is planning to spend up to fifteen million dollars and hunting the performance and insurance of its soldiers but as caleb morgan explains history shows that such programs have to be handled with care. treated. hollywood science fiction often depicts the soldiers of the 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.
3:31 pm
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.
3:32 pm
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. for. the. now at the time these grotesque experiments using american g.i.'s and civilians essentially as the lab rats at the time they were taking place the public knew
3:33 pm
nothing about it it was all classified now the public documents indicate these new experiments will not involve human beings only human simulators however anyone who is familiar with the not so well publicized but very well documented history of u.s. military research will certainly raise an eyebrow caleb oppen r.t. new york. graffiti has been a pairing in a spanish city of boston loner and perching holiday makers to jump off their hotel balconies some of it suggests that the potentially deadly practice known as balcony is fun one of the graffiti messages mockingly claims it improves the quality of life for locals balcony and can refer either to jumping into a pool from a balcony or climbing from one balcony to another the risky activity is growing in popularity with tourists some hotels have banned it and introduced fines.
3:34 pm
the balcony and graffiti that spring up in boston lona has spock's online anger with people pointing out that this year alone six people have died performing the stunt most of them were from britain or ireland. the u.k. foreign office has warned against and gauging in the practice and the majority of accidents that victims have been drunk and lost their balance we got reaction from tourists in barcelona thankfully it seems we are we being too oh so i am out. i hate it when there is no sir like many messages very violent like me against tourists i guess the same in amsterdam like they want to have the city for
3:35 pm
over may know whats important to maintain jobs to make some money out of the worst word and i think you should get some kind of text like can i have this money to restore your that is not comfortable for i am happy to listen if you are so nice to see thats just so old and do so much and it should be accepted. for and for the most should believe aggressive things to escape this is the main source of it. but not something that just. was thinking which. if i would live here and i wrote you guys. my city. hall style functions or still to come in the program the latest shocking case of us police brutality sees an eighty seven year old tasered while cutting flowers more details after the break .
3:36 pm
i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter to us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime champions each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to be all for bridge eight point six percent market so thirty percent is one of your somewhat four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial. but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need remember it was one show you know for a minute the one and only.
3:37 pm
conspiracy that there were. under the bus forget about the back of the bus is run amok. because we want rush limbaugh wonder bread and make me tell you that america. welcome back russia is at it again and that's the claim in an article in the us magazine the atlantic is saying is the kremlin has set its sights firmly on meddling in the upcoming midterm elections with russia's objective being to weaken america the article goes on to explain moskos alleged three step plan to break american democracy first unleashed russian hakas second by corrupt us politicians on third support voters who think favorably of putin but it's not just the russian state that's come under suspicion the atlantic also claims this very
3:38 pm
channel helps undermine democracy by inviting on guests who dare to question mainstream narratives the magazine. he names brandon as an example he's the founder of the movement and courage and democrats to walk away from that party though the atlantic fails to point out that he talks to other media outlets too. well 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 drake is spent years as a liberal he now says he's concerned by what the west 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. political commentator line aleck's planes wate things
3:39 pm
is behind anti russia articles like the atlantic. nobody ever causes people to trash their p. four by volume or how many likes to do good how many clicks hey there was a great article factually incorrect. factually a baseless and also the mentality just feeding frenzy of this this monster dish more this monster that you must feed constantly with there's no rush or no nato no bad guy no boogie man so there's many reasons why the book you made the strawman the specter the evil image of russia must be maintained. occupy london appears to be the latest victim of facebook's recent spree of shutting down accounts the social justice movement had its page taken down for several hours the movement says this is not the first time facebook has tried to
3:40 pm
censor its content occupy london was founded in two thousand and eleven is part of a global movement organizing hundreds of protests against financial elite the movement say its founding values are equality and diversity of people i learned it has a significant social media presence with around one hundred fifty thousand followers on facebook some believe certain pro palestine posts by occupy london might be to blame for facebook's action we asked facebook to comment social media giant has since apologized to occupy london saying it was all a mistake but one of the movement's activist george barda isn't convinced. just you know sort of a blip a mistake of the blue it probably wouldn't mean very much at 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 of the
3:41 pm
details of this but effectively what's happening in the name of dealing with fake news many progressive websites that have been a major part of you know bernie sanders jeremy corbyn etc. they used they found the traffic going down. websites like alter net truthdig that you know mainstream progressive websites are saying that 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 issue going forward the relevant thing today in terms of the 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 or not in the name of faith can use 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
3:42 pm
he was on this and that but 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 searches and no arms. of a gun the activist who's been charged with acting as non-registered russian agent in the u.s. has launched a crowdfunding campaign to pay for her legal defense much of the media coverage around her arrest which came just after the trial putin summit in helsinki so her branded a russian spy moscow is compared to bhutto's treatment in custody and the media hysteria around the case to the witch trials of the seventeenth century. on thursday the russian embassy in the u.s. accused the local authorities of subjecting butanol to cruel and inhumane treatment including strip searches that's after russian diplomats visited her in prison and found her health had deteriorated but demanding the u.s.
3:43 pm
state department stop that psychologically pressuring and humiliating maria and stressed she's a suspect and not a convict so america can takes up the story. maria was taken into custody about a month ago accused of acting as a russian agent and quote developing relationships with u.s. persons and infiltrating organizations having influence in american politics now if she's convicted she could face up to fifteen years in prison and now the russian embassy has issued a statement comparing it to the salem witch trials and accusing u.s. authorities of subjecting her to cruel and inhumane treatment including night checks every fifteen minutes something that's only done to prisoners who have a history of suicide strip searches after visits she's being denied medical care she had a swelling on her leg as a result of cold temperatures in her cell and she's only been given pain killers now she's walking with a limp she's also not allowed outdoor walks and she can't receive any letters in russian apparently because they might contain coded messages for some background
3:44 pm
after she pled not guilty if she was denied bail and her attorney thinks her nationality might have had something to do with it i'm hesitating to say it's completely apolitical we think it's hard to imagine a national and other country would be treated the same way they were a little bit of a russian phobic time here in the country the media might be using language like spy in spanish but her lawyer says that those words can't be found in any legal documents and that she's never done any military related work and there was no classified information involved now to sum it all up she's basically been accused of lobbying and somehow the u.s. sees it as connected to russia gate she's also accused of trading sex for influence but there's been no evidence at all to substantiate those claims but what's interesting about her is that she's always supported improving u.s. russian relations and she's pretty open about this it also should be noted that she was arrested hours after the trumpeting summit in helsinki but now she's waiting
3:45 pm
for trial the date of which is still unknown but what we do know is that the next technical hearing is scheduled for september tenth but most evidence against her is still classified so we're just going to have to wait and see how this case unfolds . we spoke to human rights lawyer down the canal make up about the case. she's being treated is a violation of the u.s. law of the us constitution which for bids cruel and unusual punishment in also violates international law there's so much anti russian sentiment because while she is not being accused of being a spy that really is how it's being played in the media and so i'm not sure she's going to get much of an audience in washington for her concerns she may have to go to an international body for that the fact is a lot of mischief can be done before or if ever the harm being done to her as correct clearly there's people in washington who want to be rail any chances of that they don't with russia and i think the timing asked to be taken into account
3:46 pm
and it may be some indication of a political motive to make it impossible for the two countries to reach some sort of you know peace with one another when they would have to take your thoughts on our story so to get untouched by following us on social media will be back in about thirty minutes with the latest headlines with either.
3:47 pm
you know world big partisan. and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to get the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bad and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the little for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. i'm asked as this is the cuz i report the show that goes deeper.
3:48 pm
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 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.
3:49 pm
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 data center ordinated attack between you tube google the other google properties apple to come off their apple i tunes facebook they all i deleted him from existence really at the same time at the same time within the same hour. and alex jones yeah who's just basically a satirist is said in court he's a performance artist there for them to have
3:50 pm
a call there is the same certain act is that cold air love hates trump as you know which is the part of the network that does the macabre so that's what they will 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 but 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 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
3:51 pm
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 today in gauging the whole self-censorship and the stupak ation of depopulation know they want about 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 were probably the apotheosis of the well informed educated media savvy america but since that time seventy's of course a lot of gold centered replace hard money with money and junk money and junk media now you have the government saying that nobody in america has the intelligence to
3:52 pm
decipher what's right or wrong accurate not accurate fake news propaganda real news is the day they come in and with that a giant diaper and. said you need to wear this diaper all day long and will make sure you get a big hug because you're just it's two people in need you can't have any of it but the pithy 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 you don't have to run the berry just run your friend you know shelters are as the guy that figured they'd get first. but now that they've taken him off the air salem like they're coming after
3:53 pm
me now to tell you 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 satirists
3:54 pm
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 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 feet 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 government which by the. like you can say
3:55 pm
a lot of things and there's 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 want free speech on there but if they have a monopoly on those those rails of just like that television used it when we have 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 and i'm sure these media
3:56 pm
companies off soon get 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 fix yet 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 a 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
3:57 pm
strong enough to stage a successful revolt that's feudalism that's coming right now it's happening here in washington d.c. maybe tramples 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 an onion 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 remind 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
3:58 pm
totalitarianism this social credit score and yet they pushed for the same thing to happen alex jones basically has 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 well at least from companies or 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
3:59 pm
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 those 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
4:00 pm
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 i'll throw money at 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. join me every day. and i'll be speaking to the score. i'm show business.
