we can. see. greetings and sail you take us into days world money will always be king but coming in a close second disinformation and whoever controls manipulates or pollutes the information is generally considered the queen on the chess board moneys tired old one space moving dusty king which makes the recent influx of news concerning unofficial officials allegedly manipulating everything from public comments on bank mergers and f c c f.c.c. votes to wicca p.d. entries on the devil's triangle so all to milly concerning the intercept is

reporting that according to documents uncovered in a freedom of information act request the common submitted to a top banking regulator supporting a twenty fifteen merger between one was a bank and c.i.t. bank were attributed to people who never sent them and that the fake comments appear to tie directly back to joseph auditing the head of the regulatory agency overseeing the merger. by the way is the former c.e.o. of one west bank. talk about the old fox investigating the chicken coop meanwhile on the other side of town it appears that someone has been rather busy adding new entries in the wikipedia to either cover up for or mock supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh congressional testimony on the now new torrijos devil's triangle reference to those high school yearbook. according to usa today the wikipedia page for devil's triangle had a new definition of a popular drinking game enjoyed by. brooms of judge broad. dri was later

removed and thanks to a now we didn't remove tweet from congress. no it was a sort of community edited and moderated wilder's website or a twitter account twitter bot called. what is it called congress at it so congress will automatically tweet whenever anything is whenever a wikipedia entry is edited from an ip address at capitol hill and so what happened here was republican senators lindsey graham mike lee and orrin hatch all had their phone numbers on the home addresses put on wikipedia which we called out then and it's not ok ok like i don't like any of those people anymore i find most of their republics were you know most of their politics fairly repugnant and i'm sick of hearing the name orrin hatch i've heard his name my whole life and it's always attached to horrible things so i don't want to hear them but you don't put out

people you don't do x. people this is things that were done to attack women online they've been done to rape victims and assault victims these are things that are not ok so i'm glad i got caught before anyone got hurt because people do get hurt like let's try to be you know fight violence or fight ignorance with more ignorance and violence so whoever did that i hope it's just one of those like i'm an intern and i made. the tragedy other all but about to is the congress of so they get taken off twitter because it just read it you know. they just in general let it appears there's a new master and yes united states president donald trump has worked out a brand new potentially bad trade agreement with mexico and canada darn and an effort to replace the nine hundred ninety s. bill clinton era bad trade to imaginatively titled the united states mexico canada agreement or us ca which is not to be confused. the u.s.

embassy or united states marine corps the deal appears to be quite beneficial for the already immaculately successful corporate giants inhabiting silicon valley here to give us the details on just how these tech giants will benefit from the u.s. and ca is r t america correspondent sara montana welcome thank you sir always a pleasure so what are the details as. to all you know you will see. these big charge what are we talking about so these big tech firms have already been protected by section two thirty of the u.s. communications decency act that was placed in play taken place twenty years ago now facebook founder and c.e.o. mark zuckerberg has been very vocal about it saying that it really has helped him in facebook success but admits that times have now changed the new provisions allow for them to avoid legal risks what this basically means is that google facebook and amazon are not legally held responsible for what's posted on their websites by

users so this now extends what the new u.s. m.c.a. will extend to canada and mexico as well but this is especially an interesting time given the recent allegations and accusations that facebook has been facing regarding the russian meddling during the twenty sixteen election but there are some exemptions to the law and these include tech giants can still be sued for incitement of violence protection against online sex trafficking sexual exploitation of children and prostitution so there are some limitations to go so just yeah it's very interesting considering there's been this major i mean we had you know. people going in front of congress and soccer going all of them talking about how to protect them how to make these things what's interesting to me is there is we keep saying a pattern here and that you know your facebook your amazons your googles our u.s. space do you think that this is the reason that these provisions were put into this . very well could be different countries have different laws protecting its

citizens and their privacy the e.u. for example took a law into a place to law into effect just earlier this year the general data protection regulation and it restricts how personal data from its citizens is being collected and handled what they need to do is be clear and concise about how they treat this information and even if it's in small print it's still not enough so people need to really be told specifically and it needs to be clear to them and think what we're doing with your information now. like i said the small print of the matter of the you it has to be straightforward and that's kind of the tragedy as most people always call it oh you are greedy you don't even know what ever reads it really there's no other countries are saying the things that have stricter policies protecting the privacy of citizens the facebook which is legally protected from a lot of liability here in the united states but there you know there are

international companies at this point of a population of facebook that rivals most first world countries. how is that how is this being used internationally home by these laws affect to users of the platform outside of the u.s. were there are already affecting users like facebook where a lot of european union use them they're actually facing a potential fine of one point six billion dollars this is over a possible breach of the e.u. allowed hackers to access over fifty million accounts of these users and although only ten percent were actually used in the e.u. the irish data protection commission commission which is a. a watchdog of the e.u. is still looking into whether or not they're actually going to sue them but top of the entire this isn't the first time that e.u.'s fining these big tech giants school was actually find for two point seven billion dollars after the search engine violated some rules on antitrust for its online shopping retail practices

and this was even before g.d.p. our was regulated and put into place so this was just based on antitrust by. its interests and they were looking around the world the e.u. has a very strict laws and is that everything from g.m.o. as to how your data gets it's interesting how now we live in this global world that we are kind of falling afoul of each other and it's also because i think i think we could use some of those antitrust laws like you're talking about here in the united states because we have far too many companies like google like of facebook that are kind of you know they're the only one realistically that everybody uses. could you could make an argument let's say probably why they get these these protections so they're able to just go over there and he's going to billion dollars it's just the cost of doing. excellent reporting and fascinating and it's going to be interesting to see how this new deal plays out because i think we can all agree that nafta did not play out the way anyone promised to see how to deal with kind of

a mexico plays out as well so thank you so much for coming illustrating yourselves with the bill. all right as we go to break watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered on facebook and twitter see our poll shows that are coming up while the u.s. congress clutches their pearls of through their teeth over the testimony and confirmation vote they have x. then we are purpose ignored when we need violence against women act journalist jacqueline keeler joins us to discuss that so stay true to watchable. join me every thursday on the elec so i'm unsure and i'll be speaking to us of the world the public's business i'm sure business i'll show you that.

the stock market trading at all time highs the dead heat everywhere as we head to two hundred fifty three or fifty five hundred percent debt to g.d.p. this is the planet on the verge of a major tsunami of good. things . i'm going to pull a colony on you folks and not the way you think let me tell you something congress doesn't care about women congress also doesn't care about victims of sexual

violence if they did care about victims of sexual violence female or male they wouldn't have let the violence against women acts expire which serves both genders in regard to sexual assault but congress did let it expire and with expiration we lose support for the federal rape shield law that limits the ability to introduce evidence or cross-examined rape complaints about their complaints about their past sexual behavior it protects victims from eviction due to the acts of abuse or stalking on the property funding for rape crisis centers elder abuse prevention programs and legal aid funding for victims of sexual or domestic violence and while some eighty percent. of reported rape victims are white native american women are much more likely to be a victim of sexual violence than any other race or ethnic group in the us and they are much much less likely to see any kind of justice according to the government accountability office federal courts refused to prosecute up to sixty seven percent

of sexual assault cases on reservations against native american women and it's when a sixteen study by the u.s. department of justice it was found that more than four in five american indian in alaska native alaskan native women eighty four point three percent have experienced violence in their lifetime this includes fifty six point one percent who have experienced sexual violence and forty eight point eight percent who have experienced stalking however the most disturbing thing is that according to the same study ninety percent of native american women have experienced violence at the hands of a non tribal member and the only thing that has allowed victims of violence on reservations to get justice is the violence against women's act joining us today from portland oregon to discuss this topic is native writer and award winning journalist jacqueline keeler thank you so much for joining us today jacqueline. thank you for having me thank you so the violence against women act was passed in one nine hundred ninety two which i want to make i want to add was coined the year

of the woman because of the impact of anita hill's one thousand nine hundred one testimony and the record number of women that one congressional seats and that momentum helped to get the act passed now we're in the year of blaming women for everything and it's gone from words to actions and they're now now it's just blatantly putting lives that list at risk when you see this jacqueline what does the violence against women act do specifically to help native victims of sexual violence and why is that so necessary. yeah there are large swaths the united states in which native women are completely vulnerable there are gaps in the justices. which were really evolved in the nineteenth century and were made worse with rulings that happened in the twentieth century basically tribes do not have jurisdiction over non-natives so if you are not unrolled in a federally recognized tribes the tribe any tribe does not have jurisdiction over you so you have reservations where as you noted the f.b.i.

is often the the party that will investigate and they declined to investigate over seventy percent of these cases that are reported in the confusion about jurisdiction means that there is inaction in follow up you know sheriffs may not know if they have jurisdiction over a certain area or not some reservations like for berthold which is in the middle of the bokken which has a great deal of issues because of the man camps for building the pipelines is you know has five or six i think counties that intersect on the reservation so you're talking about six different sheriffs and so yeah there are huge and you know people know this they know that they can go to the reservation and commit murder and rape and not be prosecuted so leaves native women in their own homelands incredibly vulnerable to violence. it's interesting because between two thousand and five and

two thousand and nine u.s. attorneys declined to prosecute sixty seven percent of matters referred to them involving sexual abuse of native americans with this and other statistics so grim in recent years and getting worse is the united states by the government in violation of the united nations declaration on the rights of indigenous people that's the most important question of the good i am. well you know. i don't know that the i think the u.s. is kind even i think a good sign but they you know it's i think the issue is that. indigenous communities are very are at risk this son. certainly. falls under the. geneva conventions on genocide you know making a population so at risk even in our in our particularly in our home communities i mean i'm safer living in off the reservation i am on the reservation because violence against me can actually be prosecuted under the violence against women's

act when it was amended the two thousand and thirteen version which passed in two thousand and fifteen and was held up for two years by republicans that did not want to extend tribal jurisdiction over non-natives and so what vowel out the. two thousand and thirteen was to allow tribes to assume jurisdiction over domestic violence cases on the reservation and so over anybody not just federally enrolled people and so so this actually this is what is at stake several tribes have gone through the process of being able to get the training and everything to be able to implement. on their reservations but this is definitely at risk with the with the lapse in the author's reauthorization there's been a temporary reauthorization till december first and definitely it's something that is. respectful of the funding for actually funding these different

justice initiatives right and as i said it's it's interesting because the violence against women act actually covers as i said both genders lots of programs everything from elder abuse to you know education in youth programs well one of the things we've noticed we've noticed is that you know during you know when black lives matter came up we looked at the statistics for native american men they were much more at risk of being shot and killed by a on armed by a police officer than even african-american men were and we keep seeing this ignorance like just sort of ignoring violence against. native american populations in general and. i what i wanted to ask you was near the end of twenty seventeen the f.b.i.'s national crime information center had said their database had six hundred thirty three open missing person cases for native american women and i keep seeing it over and over women are missing more native american women

western and nothing is happening there doesn't seem to be an alarm bell let me ask you is this another is this a matter of jurisdictions not being clear or is it a lack of communication between non tribal law enforcement and the tribes or is it something else entirely. yeah i covered the case of the search for a living alone bear i wrote about that. in may and her body was recently found at the bottom of she was from fort berthold reservation north dakota in the bokken and her body was found in. there on her reservation and but yeah i talked to the family i interviewed you know tribal police and the police and f.b.i. and there are a number of issues one is definitely nation and also the lack of data too and i know that that is something that is being addressed by different legislative fixes

and funding and initiatives that are being pursued right now. but yeah we don't have a lot of data on it there is not the level you know i talked to travel police they said they had a lot more coordination with state and federal law enforcement regarding the the prevention of meth use on the reservation they did with with sexual violence and they would like to see comparable levels of sort of interagency support so that they could address this more at a and more equitable level you know it's interesting in august of this year of business women's rights advocate susan boyle was told the seattle times that it's the legacies the ongoing legacies of colma zation and policies that have affected tribal communities intentional policies that have hurt damaged native communities what can we do aside from pressure and pressure in congress to help native indigenous victims of sexual violence and the reverse some of these destructive effects of colonisation that we've seen you know

devastating communities across this country. well you know i definitely feel it this is the continuation of the war the indian wars i mean they have not ended you know we are still you know the this is just it's clearly show that native people are incredibly vulnerable to violence we are by far the most vulnerable population in this country and you know whether whether you're looking at six rape suicide of death by police you know i think i'm you are quoting that earlier when i looked at the statistics on that you know native men tween the ages of twenty five and thirty five have six times the rate of death by police about african-americans and so it's those are the crime statistics and obviously those are not perfect we definitely need better data but definitely the war against indian people is still the ongoing war in the united states and i think the solution can only be through a greater recognition of tribal sovereignty the understanding of native people as

political as citizens of their nations the attempts to sort of. to disappear native nations because of our claimed the land has to stop and certainly with the with the rise of trap we are seeing a new what many native people feel is a new term a nation era with the saying that he wants to turn native tribes have them give up their sovereignty to become corporations and and so there is a large movement to sort of eliminate the political nature of native nations need nations preexists united states they continue to persis and the treating process is an example of that and. down iraq the standing rock sioux tribe invoked the treaties they invoked the treaties and treaties are only introduced by sovereign nations the usa does not ratify a treaty with anyone but sovereign nations and under international law you cannot treat your existence so make us publicly disappear we still exist the extent to

which the united states is willing to recognize that and to deal with us as is the matter hand and the stronger we are politically our status is the less vulnerable we are i believe and so i really feel that we need to address that. we do and that's one of the things that i think we've always talked about on this show and that is i want to keep this conversation go away i want to keep keeping on these stories because what we've seen over the years is that there is this you know being someone of european descent you know my ancestors came here and took that land and i think one of the things is finding these intersectional points where we can help each other to protect sovereignty and to protect and as a woman to protect women they do you for your work award winning journalist and navajo code us to write or jacqueline killer thank you so much for joining us. thank you for having me. between one thousand no one and one nine hundred seventy and a mere fifty women were awarded

a nobel prize and only two of those women have been awarded the nobel prize in physics during the. time until now donna strickland of the university of waterloo waterloo and i was awarded the twenty eighteen nobel prize in physics for her groundbreaking inventions in the field of laser physics it is for her work which she coauthored in nineteen eighty five in fact it was her very first published scientific paper the work was a discovery of a way to amplify the power of laser beams and short bursts which is the news in laser eye surgeries and help shift the laser industry into overdrive we're now able to use lasers because of her inventions in applications like cutting drilling data storage and surgical procedures all because of stock ones work seven coauthored the study the basis for her doctoral thesis with her ph d. adviser at the time gerard maru who shares credit and will share in the one million dollars prize money when asked what advice would give to her younger self she said hang on for the ride good advice you know for the ride like that advice from

general motors and graduations. remember that it was our show today number one in this world we are told your love and love so i tell you all i love you i am tired rover on top of the wall and keep on watching those talks and have a great britain but i. am. thank you. thank. you. quite frankly i think this is a have deteriorated and have fragmented and it is extremely important that we have a new digital receiver of a presidency that has the photos to be in people. who have aspirations like freedom

and they do have aspirations like living in dignity but frankly to deny them the right to vote. with the pretext that oh it's not time yet or you don't have bread so you should not be asking for the vote you should vote for people who will provide the bread and provide the services. so you don't accept the sort of just a little dust was right to be a little bit it's. these people. i don't buy the stuff i love me. while i'm somebody how does know

it's a mask you never know what's happening and what they're shooting what they're cheering . and mistrust the tibetans are. going to. be just like you know that into you but i'm a dick in the middle class and in the muslims well he's going to win the. states. from the optional protocol in dispute resolution to the vienna convention on diplomatic relations the u.s. withdraws from yet another international justice meaning it may no longer be possible to washington in the international court of justice. but u.n. agency for palestinian refugees. cut its funding for the organization on the
