and you tube's move to hit popular users before conservative users especially presidents not this draining the swamp dime with this it was going to be it bottles enough to make it a movie. but there are some at google who don't agree with the company's liberal leanings james to moore a conservative engineer wrote a memo just a memo to highlight potential bias in google's policy and he was fired for it google has several biases a new discussion about these biases is being silenced by the dominant ideology what follows is by no means the complete story but it's a perspective that desperately needs to be told and google google has always claimed its hands were cold lean when it came to political bias hate speech or other inappropriate content the company always claimed it had its reasons but with

insight into what the top brass at google is apparently thinking perhaps it's time for a better understanding of what bias really means quarter r.t. . and of about the very latest news headlines and updates on the top stories for you in half an hour on. what politicians do so that. they put themselves on the line they get accepted over checked. so when you want to be president and she. was some want to us. to go right to the press this is what the three of them will be. interested in the war in the. first.

greetings and salutation it's so on wednesday this week united states president donald trump put pen to paper and sign in and acted a new executive order looking to combat the dreaded foreign meddling in u.s. elections in a statement president trump declared as i have made clear the united states will not tolerate any form of foreign meddling in our election the order comes with just under two months to go before the twenty eighteen mid-term elections here in the u.s. and according to a.b.c. news calls for sanctions sanctioning any individual company or country that interferes with campaign infrastructure such as voting registration databases voting machines and equipment used for tabulating or transmitting results the order

also includes sanctions against any agent or person working on behalf of any country deemed by the intelligence community to be engaging in covert fraudulent or deceptive and. tities such as distributing information or propaganda to influence or undermine confidence in us elections. now i'm no lawyer but given the bag this of that language couldn't couldn't that mean that if let's say france twenty four didn't on the ground here in the us on the gerrymandering upwards of democrats and republicans to control who gets elected and what district that the us could then accuse the french government and france twenty four reporters of attempting to undermine the confidence in us elections or voter fraud investigator and crusader greg palast was interviewed by the b.b.c. about his documentary the best democracy money can buy does does this executive order now mean that the b.b.c.

in greg pilaster a new mining and meddling in our elections i think these are important questions and i think we need to call this latest effort to rein in criticism of the us government and the democrats and republicans exactly what it truly is it is the us voters are stupid executive order. you know let's start watching the hawks. so you would know what you get that's like real with this one. as the plot of. the day like you know i got. was that we. would. be. welcome aboard to watch the hard science i robot and on top of the wall and. tell

them sort of the boring though this is not just them saying voters are stupid at the end of the day like they care to figure out the difference between good and bad information or like you know the or reality of it was a really what it's come about to probably i mean nobody was as a thank for a sales that would be selling i mean nobody could i mean this is you know as you said this is this is very dangerous proposition and i think and and at the end of the day it's the idea that you know we're supposed to be the beacon on the hill here in the united states so if we're going around saying other countries we can sanction you and that you shouldn't even talk about if you even talk about something that might undermine the same to be of our elections which as far as i saw twenty six election was the democrats screaming that we were getting hacked everywhere that you couldn't trust anything that it was all garbage and quite frankly most of us knew it was bought and sold by wall street most of our elections anyway so you know you're either ignorant or your

a deplorable and you know we're all wrong so they should just go in their back room with a cigar and figure it out themselves oh good point what about the cigar thing too because they were sued specifically for that in the primary argument great we remember they said that they would just go in the back room and smoke cigars and decide well when i'm like you do you worry do what i mean and post via my. of. it blows my mind like how we let them get away with it just so people would home can understand so how this executive. order works as according to the us director of national intelligence dan coats the order direction teligent say agencies to assess because we can trust intelligence agencies to assess whether any people war entities interfere with the information would then be provided to the justice and homeland security departments and then based on their assessment of the validity of impact trigger automatic sanctions intelligence agencies that would have forty five days to make an assessment of the justice department with that of forty five days to determine whether actions are required. i mean the whole thing is just pointless

it's a bunch of capitalists trying to use is you know a pretty. concept the idea that you could draw you control the information we decide what's ok and no one else can criticize us also the idea that it's you know marco rubio so rubio or mark over if you don't know republican from florida may have heard of him and some of senator chris van hollen a democrat from maryland are pushing a bill that would prohibit foreign. governments from purchasing election or using social media to spread what they call false information or disrupting election infrastructure so they released a joint statement declaring today's announcement by the administration recognizes the threat but does not go far enough to address that we must make sure a lot of near putin's russia or any other for an actor understands that we will respond decisively and impose punishment consequences against those who interfere in our democracy question. so do we really think that it's not it's going to take

a real long for other countries to say you interfered in our democracy here or sanctions or care or good or not we're not no american products no american service what happens if we said when another country says you see that base get out your. if you were impeding our infrastructure you were doing less because you know we're listening we're doing these things as a you have an eighty one times in forty years we've interfered told elections around the world will doesn't this give them a point to say if we cut your cia or anybody else for mending decide and draw undermining what does a great point just wait that's a excellent point you know and let's also remember too that democrats republicans undermine our democracy here at home by not allowing third parties by not abide by it just by the way exactly what they complain is the problem in places like russia that there aren't enough opposition parties yet here if you even talk about a third party candidate your a traitor or your if pronounced another way is susan sarandon. and i'm over here

was susan going you might want to calm down a little right for example randy barnett lawrence lessig wrote in time magazine that there is a morass of state laws to keep particular americans from threatening the two existing major parties on the meddling these laws prevent rivals from emerging that might replace existing nonresponsive parties there you have a so i mean democrats republicans undermine this country's elections more than any foreign power could ever hope to dream to be especially with a few hundred thousand dollars on facebook. then to the top of n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden's twitter just a simple sentence standing speak not because it is safe but because it is right after a court ruling on thursday you mr snowden along with thomas strike will be to you countless other mass surveillance whistleblowers of victims or rights yes according to a new ruling by the european court of human rights the mass surveillance carried out

by the british intelligence agency agency g c h q did indeed violate the human rights of the europeans from new york city are to strain chavez has more. journalists and civil rights groups scored a victory today against the british government's mass surveillance system europe's top rights court call. the so-called big brother program unlawful and a violation of human rights. we have one. judgment day at the european courts confirming that the mass of aliens practiced by the u.k. government as revealed by edward snowden is on the wall and we have argued this consistently over the past five years and is a really important victory for people's rights in the u.k. only be clear to the public hearing only good to see really the american. big brother works and out of those verses the united kingdom the judges ruled five to two that mass interception of phone and internet data violated article eight of the

european convention on human rights which guarantees the right to privacy things to inadequate safeguards specifically school eight found that there was a lack of safeguards in over science when it came to selecting the traffic for examination and the subsequent going through thoughts information and the further victory of the court ruled that the program also provided insufficient safeguards in respect of confidential journalistic material violating article ten of the european convention which protects the freedom of expression and information as regards. if there were not enough safeguards when it came to examining the data had been found by the oath or its. journalistic confidentiality the court said in a statement while the court was satisfied that the intelligence services of the united kingdom take their european human rights convention obligations seriously

and are not abusing their powers it found that there was an adequate independent oversight of the selection and search processes involved in the operation the cases are the latest legal battle to the u.k. and a long running spy scandal following the revelations by whistleblower edward snowden whose two thousand and thirteen exposé renewed. debate over privacy versus security britain has changed its surveillance laws since the legal challenge began the passing new legislation that the government says has more privacy state guards but rights groups still say it's far too intrusive reporting in new york trinity each of us are. while that's pretty incredible so you come down i was not expecting usually or always rule on the side of the surveillance the usually over and over and over going to mean oh we finally turn this corner we finally actually read what you think. i think is a baby step i think it's a baby step because when you look at the court did not certain certain things were legal but what it decided wasn't illegal was the. ability of

sherry or policy of sharing sensitive personal information with foreign governments yes literally the hero gives your personal information to a foreign government and passing it you know that's what they do they all share information and hopefully that's how you all stay on everybody's good side but nobody's spying and nobody's taking information nobody is using it the wrong way and it's all perfectly fine. don't worry it will be so my answer is no i'm not holding my breath not holding your breath no no i think it's too far down down the road and i think those are not even using the stuff in a way that sufficient like you have all the c.c.t.v. but there's tons of open crime you know no one should ever get away with anything. great britain with the amount it is but on london with the amount of c.c.t.v. is and yet it takes them months to find you know two people on a. war you know and i think you bring up a good point what you said earlier and you just said like the amount of time

snowden's leaks were back during the obama administration and this now we're suddenly having them in a court agency say this was a violation of human rights i mean that's incredible to me right there i mean snowden revealed like a lot of the. programs from time to morrow to the karma police love these names. you know. all the way down to the black hole which is where it was a repository of over one trillion on why the vents including internet history email message records and social media activity put out words feel happy today actually stepped up and said that this is ultimately a good thing it was a win for its team and i think what was missing from out a sort of the way i learned over watching you and i are about because we did a bass note and actually did respond on twitter and what he had to say was for five long years governments have denied the mass. global mass surveillance violates your rights and for five long years we've chased them through the doors of every court today we won don't thank me thank all of those who never stopped fighting and

that's that's really important thing you have to keep saying it's still not right you can keep saying it's the rule but it's still not right. all right as we go to break off watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered of facebook and twitter see our poll shows at our t.v. dot com coming up we go behind the official story of nine eleven the war on terror with the authors of the new book the watchdogs didn't bar the cia n.s.a. and cries of the war on terror then the other say is gold gold very powerful so you do not want to miss this stay tuned to watch. the adventures the trump presidency much has been said about america's cultural wars even a new civil war the country is clearly divided but trying to do this on his own there are two americas you know but it seems.

this week this week we saw the seventieth anniversary of the attacks on nine eleven and in the seventeen years since the tragic september morning we've witnessed a war on terror. that according to journalist and author tom engelhardt has cost the united states over five trillion dollars we've seen torture mass surveillance police state laws enacted and intelligence community run while the whistleblowers hunted and imprisoned and the very fabric of our great legal institutions the department of justice toward a power through fear intimidation and political cowardice not to mention the hundreds of thousands if not millions of lives lost around the world and here at home all thanks to the war on terror but despite all the money spent and lives lost most citizens here in the states and around the world still do not know the whole story of the actions leading up to and after the events of nine eleven that have

forever changed the course of history and cemented the intelligence community power and unaccountability as a way of life here in the united states until now thanks to the new book the watchdogs didn't bark which documents authors rain and john duffy as ten year long investigation into the cia n.s.a. and the crimes of the war on terror they join us now from pennsylvania welcome. thank you. first i'd like to start at ask you you both in your research in interviews in the news over ten years what do you feel is the biggest piece of information surrounding nine eleven in the war on terror that the public truly needs to know about or better understand the big just do not today what do you think is the biggest thing missing a big should know. i think you know we all just you know another anniversary just passed yesterday right and every time we kind of relive where we were at the moment now we felt maybe it becomes easier and easier each year if people had been told

on september twelfth two thousand and one that there was this office inside the cia for instance called alec station that was devoted to stopping al qaida in office of fifty people and that there were a particular group within their managers who had become aware of two of the lead hijackers the guys who flew the plane into the pentagon. a year and a half before the attacks and had just dropped the ball once twice but had seemingly played information games with the f.b.i. for reasons that we can talk about they're not the obvious reasons most people would jump to. had withheld that information knowing full well and even exchanged e-mails over whether or not to pass it is you know as recently as the summer of two thousand and one the big thing that people i think don't realize is it had people heard that on september twelfth they would have assumed well ok they those people they definitely don't don't need to be in the cia anymore and we know that they're

you know now that this is come out they're not going to be anymore and that never happened and people might be shocked that not only did they never clear house of the people who failed so terribly at what they did but those people rose and rose and throughout their careers even up to the present day some are still there operating in the war on terror who have just an endless list of. failures there bones because we didn't open first of all a lot of the excuses we were told leading up to the events of nine eleven wasn't that information wasn't shared between agencies and it was all this unfortunate series of simple mistakes and no one should be held accountable for of out of a countable sort of event that they say they couldn't predict after writing this book and barking on this investigation do you feel that that is even remotely a legitimate excuse for what happened that day was it somewhat just. hayes some people made some simple mistakes. no it's it's very quiet and we hold anyone

accountable. if you're asking why the media doesn't i would say that there are small numbers of writers many in print media and many who have released books who have done some really good work and who have found bits and pieces and without those bits and pieces we wouldn't have gotten where we've gotten so i wouldn't want to be smirched everybody but ultimately that's a huge question about just the media in general in the united states and i think would you know we have found over time i mean there's probably a lot of reasons but ultimately you know it can come down to a question of access and things like that if the majors decide that they're going to really hit hard against it administration they realize they're going to lose inside access to the administration are going to be pushed out they're not going to ask questions of the press corps that can be invited around to cover things so it becomes a question for them you know how far do they want to go unless they've really

really really got the goods like when they can really entirely lay out a case maybe the bills and take it force you know publicly but up to that point i guess we would call that being very very risk averse and a business world. how easy is that because there is the question and it always seems so while to people outside of the boulware outside of you know being kind of in the know like those of us who who've read this stuff and talk to people how easy is it for those who are really deeply connected within that within the intelligence community to manipulate a story be before it becomes official how how easy is it for someone in that position to do that without it being get out a huge without it coming out pretty easily i think that's that's really kind of in a lot of ways underneath the whole book is a look at how in particular the cia but also folks within the n.s.a. are going. out of all that. at manipulating the story they're there they're great

in there they're very much like lawyers in terms of like figuring out how you present the information to make to you know to put the best foot forward for your client and they're really great at sort of getting you know their story told in the way they want to tell it they're one of the few organizations in the world that can classified top secret the details of the story they don't want you to hear so you only hear the one part it might be a half truth that you read in a completely wrong way and you know as we say in the book i mean that's what happened it appears with the torture program where even john john kiriakou z. you know was the famous you know whistle blower who would work at the cia and reveal the torture program on a.b.c. news in two thousand and seven and was later prosecuted in became the only person to go to jail not because he participated and he turned it down but to go to jail for sensually essentially for revealing and and you know that was a case where. he thought from two thousand and two

until two thousand and seven and really for a few years afterwards because he had heard of in the halls of langley cia headquarters that that while torture was wrong and he didn't believe in it it had worked and it had been effective and it broke in this guy who's after a single use of waterboarding any. maybe i was wrong in the end of him and that's actually what he said in his a.b.c. interview where he blew the whistle was he repeated what he had heard in that cia hallway which turned out you know by zero nine that it was complete b.s. while more. only got about a minute left but what what do you what do you think what's the stuff people should take to better combat this kind of. i guess deception manipulation and also malfeasance that you guys a book cover to go about thirty seconds. yeah well they should go to our twitter account and they should tweet to the major media to have a stop like you said before people can know about the things in this book watchdogs

but watch them that's a great point i do strongly suggest people got to read this book they need to know this information thank you so much for coming out and talking with us today thank you and thanks for having us really appreciate you being. so who out there is interested in exploring the solar system well my friends according to the good folks at nasa they're going to need to wait a little longer more than. me a little bit longer you're going to need a little more of them out a rocket jet fuel and lots and lots of math if you're going to go out and this theory is you're also going to need an umbrella yeah you heard me correctly an umbrella but not just any old umbrella from your local five and dime no you'll need masses adaptable deployable entry placement technology or adapt for short adapt is a foldable device that opens to make a round rigid heat shield called an arrow shell and arrow cells are vital to someday being able to carry through space and land on distance planets with large payloads that would be impossible today you see arrow cells blow

a spacecraft and shield them from the heat that's created upon entry when approaching planets at the tens of thousands of miles per hour that's needed to sort through space so here's to the thousands new mary poppins of space travel and . that's pretty cool very cool stuff. you know bell and space remember old magic umbrella which are things like this is one of our healers do all of that is our job here today remember everyone in this world we're not told we love the stuff so i tell you all i love you i am tired robot girl and i'm to have a lot of people watching those talks about a great day and like. says
