tv   Watching the Hawks  RT  August 21, 2018 10:30am-11:01am EDT

10:30 am
real journalist of lockheed martin actually have her ties on your channel which it does meanwhile the washington post editorial board after discovering the u.s. hand in the bus bombing has declared it's time to end u.s. support for this misbegotten and unwinnable war. thank you washington post i guess it's better late than never is it i mean. three years three years too late on that one. now let's do what they do not and start watching the hawks. to. get the. real deal. as a lot of. like you know that i got.
10:31 am
the watching the hawks i am tired world and then top of the wall it oh my gosh there's a war in yemen i know there's a lot of amazing that they finally call on i think was more of this area yeah i think it's hilarious that they sat there and talk about their breaking news and everything else and we've literally sat here we reported on the fact that they don't report about it or m.s.n. b.c. or anybody else on that that side that they've ignored this for oh about thirty nine months. or so now you have to sit back and go oh oh well here we go you know what's really extraordinary to see in this discovery yes discovery that there is such a thing as the military industrial complex never heard of it never heard of it well no matter how you can't it's been on c.n.n. and on the net and i know i do admit that it's real you know all this time i had to go you know the moder and i was there all complex but now that c.n.n. has admitted that it exists guess what it exists and you know this because c.n.n.
10:32 am
had charts they had maps they did they had that i was actually pretty surprised but they actually had these graphics and did a segment on who supplied the arms for some of these really major strikes in yemen which again is surprising. but you know it's been reported quite a bit by other people. that are right well this time of mention not only lockheed martin. which is obviously the one a big ones recent bus bombing the strike on a market in twenty sixteen using a bomb made by raytheon that left ninety seven people dead and then there was of course the twenty sixteen strike on a funeral hall that killed one hundred fifty five people again it was a. bomb used by right made by raytheon and at the time you know this is a time when we were getting criticism for talking about this and trying to insinuate that somehow the u.s. was part of the horrible thing but you know i see that you know that's the grades
10:33 am
to get them was it was it was proudly displaying you know it's i love of the of the paper on the ground and you say you literally how do they finally got found a journalist but i love the fact that they're like reporting this it's like they're reporting this after what we covered this whatever we could go two weeks ago but norton other independent journalism the kind of journalism on the ground in yemen we're talking talking about this piece in the week this in the weeks i mean everything that they put up this look at this that clearly matches feel like home now but don't listen to alternative news media don't listen to those people because those people are just evil and scary and trying to convince you of things that don't exist or at least just wait till we say it because it's you know that it's time and then it's ok and now the washington post jumps on board as you have one more no more i mean now now all of a sudden they got a spa and i know the editorial board wrote that if it assisted speaking of the bombing if it assisted in a marriage strike that killed innocent civilians the united states is complicit in
10:34 am
a probable war crime and the bombing was not an isolated incident previous airstrikes have hit weddings funerals and food markets where you're right and once again people were covering it long before you did but let's also point out as you've said numerous times to me have a brilliantly as you know the washington post has never met a war didn't like chris christie where he was writing for the columbia journalism review reviewed the papers cheerleading. in the run up to the second iraq war let's look at this the paper started echoing many of bush's arguments and calling war an operation essential to american security even before powell's presentation the post them quickly endorsed palls w.b. and al qaeda claims there and then you know tried to play like patty cake with a little later you know a couple years later say oh this was a bad idea yeah well this is the one interesting thing because i think they finally found a reason to be against a war you know and here's the thing we only reason if you will look at that washington post piece and you look at the c.n.n.
10:35 am
pieces the one thing they mention is that obama had put a ban on selling these weapons after i believe it was the funeral the funeral home attack so he put a ban on them and trump put them back into place so now oh yeah we can use it to get drunk so then we think that bombing a bunch of children is where our biblia war crime and we might not want to be involved and i knew there was a catch to all this i knew it wasn't just a big came to their senses and realize the war wasn't good oh it's so we can do trouble which we all like to big trouble but maybe you should you know just be selective about. being for peace. kofi anon very important figure was born in ghana and nineteen thirty eight kofi anon passed away this week at the age of eighty most well known for his ten year term as the secretary general of the united nations from one nine hundred
10:36 am
ninety seven to two thousand and six an ons work earned him and the united nations a nobel peace prize for their work for a better organized a more peaceful world beginning his career in public service he joined the united nations as administrator at the world health organization at the age of twenty four and over the next thirty years he developed a plan for reform within the united nations and while he may not have been able to achieve all of his goals he did bring respect and purpose back to the u.n. the first u.n. secretary general from sub-saharan africa anon was not free from criticism but he most often was the vocal one about criticizing himself in those situations and he never stopped trying to make up for those mistakes having served the public right up until his death kofi anon made a point and his farewell address to speak truth to the concept of supremacy and then it he revealed the core problem the world today our inability to give up on the idea that one nation or one organization should rule us all. no one nation.
10:37 am
can make itself secure. by seeking supremacy over all this. we all share responsibility for each other's security. and only by way can to make sure this. can we hope to achieve lasting security. who've. kofi you know look people love them people hate them any time you're a world leader or you know a big public figure like that you're going to have your detractors are going to have supporters but that message that the. that he just spoke on was brilliant and we need to remember that we need to remember that like eisenhower's speech oh yeah bester exactly these are two speeches he should be taught in school as eisenhower a speech about military industrial complex and kofi and on fire a farewell speech that are important because there's this idea like well we must have this this is this whole problem that we're in it's not just about american
10:38 am
excellence and this idea that it's like america thoughts we're not what anybody trying to say it's that why is there this idea that one nation should rule them all it didn't work well with the ring so you might not want to try it with bad that's kind of what he said because we're here we have all of this here he was one of the first to really do something about the aids crisis that made a huge impact here and around the world and that was the general some of the united nations committed to the creation under a non for a fund that there was a special session on aids in the permanent secretariat of the global fund was established january two thousand and two and since then there's that's been work and that work when you travel around that works made a difference and other countries will say wow that really moved out move release that a lot of you know a lot of people kind of say that the u.n. actually had teeth back when he was running it that they really you know stood whether you agree with it or not they actually did actually commit to doing some really hard core issues and there was back up behind it i mean one of the big
10:39 am
blemishes on kofi sr is obviously the issue with you know he got severe criticism for you know when the radical hutu militias killed over eight hundred thousand people in iran three in the genocide and you know but he also admitted that failure himself believe the state of the international community. autocratically said the international community failed to wonder in that situation so again this was somebody who did take responsibility for his own failures where he when he was also the person that he got a lot of criticism for trying diplomacy for you know the u.n. the u.n. secretary he doesn't have armies right so our military he's not running an army and soldiers it's sort of this idea of making sure that there's a dialogue and making sure everybody's coming to the table and one of the things about that was his he had talked he had sat down he got a lot of criticism for sitting down and talking to saddam hussein at one point he
10:40 am
got a lot of criticism for talking to bashar al assad back and i think his twenty's while . trying to find peace and then going to russia to speak to and those people about peace and that was a thing even this is in the last five years well yes and you know in the seventy's still out there going let's talk about what we find what we do and that's important because you know this is a guy that pushed for having a dialogue but he also pushed for things like legalizing of drugs like he understood global you know he understood global climate change he understood that the legalization for drugs would actually help here so i said no where in this divorce between rhetoric and reality more evident than in the formulation of global drug policies where too often emotions and ideology rather than evidence have prevailed and i think that's one of the best thing that's that is that your ideology is important like that idea nobody's ideology no one should rule us all they're all here together and that's a hope that people remember that oh so too we could use
10:41 am
a little bit about the devotion of most awfully interesting life from an interesting brown are those we go to break or watches don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered on facebook and twitter see our full so team dot com coming up author of teacher d. watkins joins us to discuss the rise of viral video and i would change the game wouldn't buy the justice cases if we would stick to watch. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murderer i would prefer it be to limit death penalty just because they think that's the way or think
10:42 am
the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict respond dennison the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying the is just no way to present and that we're even many of the times families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victims' families what that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in and say. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way. to fix it. up enough of it. in the. yasi will leave you just as we. were talking to us. about them let's. go let's go get out our last get it one of these to make it easy try to
10:43 am
get. them that a lot of any of us thought i was good but i'm going up with him as are a lot of us up the money into. going to. take it a long way i left my. home and. just say to me eat. their own place of israel off the. wall that was if you meet. other people or go from zero zero zero zero. that they at least. feel.
10:44 am
it seems like at least every other week here in the u.s. that we are witness to yet another now tragically familiar video gone viral he trained police officers inflicting on do harm and physical torment on the members of the citizenry and the ancient days of rodney king and v.h.s. in the early one nine hundred ninety s. sarah gardner and the digital era of citizen journalist today shared video has forever changed the perspective and reaction to police violence in these united states of america recently in baltimore citizens there will once again treated to another viral video of one of their local police officers twenty five year old arthur williams violently attacking a man he was interacting with there in the course of his daily duties many credit the officers resignation with the swift move to prosecute him to the cell phone footage of the encounter going viral here to discuss with us police violence in the age of viral video is an author
10:45 am
a teacher and baltimore's own the walk in so i want to ask is this the start of you know how how in your opinion is has viral video and the sharing of video the way we do today change the official reaction to accusations of police brutality i think this is an important time for us to make a really really strong distinction between what works and what doesn't work so you know if i was going to hop on my twitter account by my instagram account and give like a long dissertation and study on you know why these things are happening it probably wouldn't be as effective as people like you know. in devon now and dylan see it clearly because one of the doe share of the video. over and over again because you know some people have some law the most of followers and some people have huge amounts of followers but if you put all of them together and keep pumping this over and over again people are going to see dirty little secrets have
10:46 am
been within these police departments. change happens. how has the prevalence of video recording devices and. other devices affected the relationship between the police and the community in places like baltimore or do they know i mean they know i think they must fear a phone every time they see it as much as they say they fear the gun point and i think police must bear down more than anything. you know what i would love i would love to have more than anything but look at these videos they are going to say it's almost like the body cameras don't exist it's like you've got people around recording you and you still doing the same stupid things is so weird to me like you're not very i mean that i think that's i think we just don't understand it like how how do the police in baltimore still expect people to trust when this stuff keeps happening and it takes citizens not the people elected and paid to protect
10:47 am
people to do something about it it takes it takes all of people sharing it on line whether it's the misunderstood missing piece because at the end of the day regardless of who share what in this in the mind of this police officer it is young twenty four twenty five yoga he still doesn't value people. stricken by poverty he just doesn't he does that is not how you treated him in but when the whole world then you know it's time for him to resign over that he's part of the first was to make statements like this and all of these people involved they know what's going on but the fact that everybody saw it is with me every you know as what made this you know move as quick as it moved i'm actually honored that it moved this fast like i'm proud of the way this situation has been. i handle so far because it is sufficient we did not wait six months for a nasty geisha in a body can because everybody saw it and the actual charges yeah that's what i want to ask you is that you you mentioned you spoke loud line over there so you shared
10:48 am
it like crazy this video with with this officer williams what about that particular video. the tragedy of this country is that we see a lot of videos from a lot of people doing a lot of cricket things over and over and over but certain videos really take you know they grasp the imagination of the public it's like there were police beating on rodney king but we saw that video so everybody jumped onto it same thing when this case would williams. what about that video particularly got into your skin so for me there's a number of things so i was. i was i was sitting in the house and i was like about the scrambled eggs and i saw there's a popular really talented young daughter more of a name young who posted the video he was actually outside when it was happening so i got the video off page and posted it and as you know because i was so angry as i watched the video the first any made me upset is the guy standing there so if you wanted to lock him up you could have just you know tackled him down to the ground
10:49 am
but it comes on normal procedure but you've got this guy officer williams who is like a cowardly little you know like a little reject the stupid little guy who is with the guy he was he was attacking his name's no he was attacking and he was hitting i mean heading into hitting him in the head of all of these times and he couldn't even make him fall so there's like a problem with your masculinity right then swing at somebody twenty times and you can't even not come out so you know when he finally got him to trip over the steps to put the cuffs on he tried to like me and i hit him again and i'm like wow this is obviously a problem and the world needs to see this guy he's not resisting arrest he didn't run he didn't do anything wrong he stood there and he still had to get treated like that so that's one of the things that i think made a lot of people upset is this isn't a guy who's trying to fight this is a guy who's standing and you've got this ridiculous silly little cups we can all of these punches and you can connect to it just not doing anything which was tied into
10:50 am
a deeper problem and then we find out that this has been harassing this guy for a long period of time this is not this is not the first video this is not the videos on internet where he's been doing the same thing so i think what got me upset me most about the video is we say this over and over and over again and no one believes it until we show it but this week like i said all these people who i mentioned earlier the valencia is an adult and alison account i want to share this video. everyone got a chance to see it was the hard part too is that it's hard to keep watching these videos traumatizing to watch that happen to another human being and i think it's so incredibly more traumatizing to see someone who's supposed to be. the person that you're supposed to call when something goes wrong when you feel unsafe these other people are supposed to come in and keep you safe and i don't know anyone who thinks that right now anymore with the police that there's such out lack of like i don't my first reaction if i get scared is not
10:51 am
a cop is just like slavery so people are good at you know slavery and for moral reasons which probably played a small part but one of the huge reasons why slavery ended in the united states is because of the country start to get wind of what we were doing in america and it was saying whoa how can we respect this place as a nation if you are training people to string them up with trees in slicing their stomachs open and watching the baby come up before you step on the field it's like this is an american story and when you should light on what's happening in the dark then people start to scatter and they want to see things differently same thing the bottom one city public school systems and i haven't any he grew up i went to school i wouldn't school in the ninety's early two thousand we didn't have you know but we could put videos of kids trying to learn long division where you can see the cold air come out of the bowels of the ears and nostrils you know people see that and they say oh oh i don't want to be known as the governor of a state that has schools like that here's some money let's fix the problems. and
10:52 am
that was the interesting thing too is that this officer if there hadn't been video interesting i think if there had been video we would be having a very different discussion because this was a guy who was decorated student in the police academy which police academy is you've always pushed for a feeling that there's more structure here somebody came out a decorated student from the police academy generally considered an officer on the rise if this video wasn't there what do you think the conversation. it would be if if not came up and said he did this to me and there was no video to back him up he would have been laughed out of the room he would have been left out of the room like because you know this business is usual like the cattle. police academies mass produced people like offit williams you know what i'm saying one point you see him is celebrated you look at his actions there's nothing there to celebrate there's nothing to celebrate this is a ridiculous person to celebrate but. it is
10:53 am
a sort of black people that are going to a low income neighborhood trying to terrorize and wreaked havoc on citizens you get a chance to get extra little and i don't let me ask you both is there is there a line though of this even excluding the elements of like capturing police brutality and crimes against people is there a downside though to this kind of viral video sharing frenzy you know what it doesn't have anything to do with like let's say someone fishel position you know attacking someone but let's say just you know filming people in their privacy and then share an on line because this body or celebrities or you know whatever you want to call it like is there a downside to this kind of viral video craze but as of now we don't have the luxury to even consider the downside because this is a public servant this is a public service so you know. the filament of everything is like what's the alternative because we've been saying different before camera phones came out no one has been listening that's interesting i wonder the other thing i feel like it's
10:54 am
such a hard thing to understand is an african-american officer doing it another african-american and i think that. that also i had that moment where i'm thinking this is someone who is taught through the through the police academies that are full of as we know white supremacists who are hopped up on this is literally someone who is told this is this is how you treat for. them a black slave catchers. you know to sort melodies. that crowd that's all you don't have to be a white person to subscribe to a systemic oppression and then be humanisation of black people he sees himself as a guy who was in the service he sees himself as the guy who was you know a shining star in the police academy he sees himself as above the people he was quickly saying not understanding you're not above them you actually work for them
10:55 am
so you should be trying to have no you should be out there you know in crimes you shouldn't be out there fighting people you know unless those people are trying to harm people that's the difference that i was a harmony about i was just standing there being armed you know it's one of those things where i'm excited about the rise of citizen journalism excited that people can finally you know instantaneously say look at by see a servant of the public doing something wrong committing a misdeed gives the public i can get that out there and people can share actually that's one of the great things i see in the future of this and kind of holding people accountable now we just have to get the machinery of government and the members involved to actually realize oh we're accountable now so hopefully we'll see more and more of that walking is always a pleasure to have you on thank you so much for coming on great to talk. hello is it bri you're looking for well one archaeologist from cairo university were excavating the tomb of the thirteenth century b.c.
10:56 am
egyptian official near cairo they found a collection of jars and one of the stars was a solidified whitish mass that at the time was an identifiable but they took the good with the bad and the results could be seen in the journal of analytic chemistry where it was revealed that the substance is the oldest archaeological find of solid cheese ever found ever thought to be over thirty or thirty two hundred years old scientists believe it to be made from either sheep or goats milk and would have an acid the taste but don't give a good motive for a modest frenzy a wouldn't want to actually taste this cheese that's because why it's also found proof of low spirits in the tree is. this is a highly contagious infectious disease caused by ingesting unpasteurized milk or under meat and it's still around the very day so while these sweet dreams may not be made of cheese at least we know that the culture is of ancient egypt are
10:57 am
been preserved so cheesy proms are about as are so pretty tiresome for every one of those world where there are lots of old real love is not so i tell you all i love you i am tired old i'm sorry but i'm tired of all it's people are trigger old farts in the grate and there. what hope to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. i want. to go on to proceed with what before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always

in the waters in the. course of. the response to the two thousand and eight crisis with the global bankers got together they really are going back to the global financial system to withstand a ten time the impact financial crisis in the future they did nothing however to undercut the ability for the bad actors the global banks to increase their balance sheets in the leverage by ten times and now here we are in twenty eighteen and in fact now the balance sheet of these banks in the central banks is ten times more level.
