or mania blitzing through the cord to us but even stalled. confusion the panic the fear that with those set aside self-preservation in order to help others risking life and limb. once again even in acts of overwhelming evil there is space for good. now a former f.b.i. agent who worked in the u.s. state of minnesota has pleaded guilty to leaking classified information to the media he say's he wanted to make a difference but the court found his leaks about alleged abuse of power a threat to national security digging deeper into the story the new hawkins. a veteran of the agency an impeccable service record three years from retirement now

2:16 am
of all thora t's the u.s. attorney general has made things clear amongst the crackdown on leaks and whistleblowers the risk of exposing perceived wrongdoing and injustice is higher than ever we are conducting perhaps the most aggressive campaign against leaks in department history crimes like the one committed by the defendant in this case will not be tolerated they will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and punished and it seems for now whatever the motive alleged racism or spying lawbreaking or corruption whistleblowers call bori will face the tough choice of trusting their conscience or risking everything. what is happening with mr owen very isn't a chilling effect throughout the entire. throughout the entire federal bureaucracy that if you leak you're going to go to prison and you've got to go to prison for a very long time any type of harsh punishment all is being others in
2:17 am
a similar situation twice before they had the question is. is the actions of the f.b.i. . in this current trouble ministration going to be something that people can be quiet about all of the in the end all the other federal bureaucracies want to be able to be. given the large amount of corruption that is going on right. now brett kavanaugh may have been confirmed as a u.s. supreme court justice but a certain grouping are determined to get their revenge on the divisive figure who was recently involved in a high profile sexual assault court case and it seems they're willing to go to some quite ghoulish lengths.

the u.s. odds fuel to the hype over alleged russian meddling in elections that's coming up in ninety seconds time. the grim reaper of the bond market has appeared with this with this guy and he's looking at the global bond market he's got. all. this obama apocalypse it's a tsunami that paper and it's. going to be the greatest financial collapse ever
2:20 am
love it. did the war planning for the principal force provider command in the united states military order for years i've worked on this region for years i do not understand this saudi arabia is the greatest state sponsor of terrorism in the world still today and yet we call here on that we lie when we say that we outright blatantly lie when we say that and moreover we know we're lucky. twenty minutes into the program welcome back a russian woman has had criminal charges filed against her by the u.s.
2:21 am
justice department for allegedly trying to meddle in next month's midterm elections the russian embassy in washington say the claims are funded reporting from new york . the u.s. department of justice has indicted a woman who is forty four years old and accountant living in st petersburg now she is the first person to be indicted and it is alleged that she was meddling in the upcoming midterm congressional elections in the united states she's being charged by the u.s. department of justice with conspiracy to defraud the united states it's alleged that she had millions of dollars invested into social media activity that was in. tended to quote so division and discord in the u.s. political system in july we heard from christopher ray he's the director of the f.b.i. and he says that no evidence of such a plot by russia actually had been discovered so far we haven't yet seen an effort to target specific election infrastructure at this point it's not alleged that
2:22 am
any voting machines were targeted it's not alleged any voter registration records or any election infrastructure was in any way targeted now this comes in the aftermath of twitter releasing a collection of tweets it says came from russian trolls and quite a large number of tweets and the report itself actually admits that these tweets their influence was rather negligible they really didn't have much of an impact on the u.s. election in two thousand and sixteen strangely enough you know these tweets are not only directed against hillary clinton but also directed against donald trump and in fact they were more effective when they were targeting trump so the allegation that there was some sort of russian conspiracy to get donald trump in the white house doesn't exactly add up if that were the case why would these russian bots and trolls be working to hurt donald trump rather than help him and why would they be working for the benefit of hillary clinton the other point it's raised is it's alleged that these these tweets are associated with the internet research agency
2:23 am
which is connected to a businessman who said to be connected to vladimir putin the russian president also alleged that this woman in question works with this businessman and he is connected with latimer putin it's quite a stretch it's not clearly established how the russian government is responsible for the activities of a private company the questions still remain they're alleging that she is friends with this man who owns the internet research agency and that he is friends with the russian president it's kind of a long chain of separation that they're making it's also important to note that we've heard donald trump speak up and down trump says that the woman in question has. nothing to do with his campaign and all of the hackers and all of the everybody that you see doesn't do with my campaign if the hackers a lot of them probably like hillary clinton better than me now they do now they do but you know they go after some hacker and rush and they say oh that had nothing to do with my campaign she has been named in previous indictments from the u.s.
2:24 am
department of justice in the bob muller investigation regarding the twenty sixteen election she was named however at this point we're now seeing her named and sharjah in connection to alleged meddling in the twenty eighteen elections which have not yet taken place which are coming up in november kaleb martin well the executive director of the ron paul peace institute says he believes the charges raise worrying implications for freedom of speech is it illegal for other people to even write or comment about internal american affairs i thought that's what a democracy less would have three debate of ideas was about was about we don't have freedom of speech to talk about the weather we have freedom of speech to talk about very difficult issues before democracy is so weak that even bringing up these issues can undermine the faith and democracy then the problem is a lot more serious than a couple of russians taking out facebook ads think at this point it's less about russians i think it's about criminalizing dissent in america was
2:25 am
a massive purged of facebook and twitter websites this past week a very large chunk of them were very reputable alternative media sites that question the state and if you look at facebook statement about why they were banning them they said ok well these are american sites but they're exhibiting behavior reminiscent of the russian sites that we've banned so i think the russian bogeyman is out there to provide for the elimination of any political dissent where they're left right libertarian progressive in america that's the real target. to something a little different now an up market british grocery chain has apologized for selling a supposedly sexist song which waitrose is now ring naming it after complaints that it appeared to be a men only snark. i

there you go coming right up with the news sources both right and left wing being purged from social media networks link up on redacted tonight. welcome to. the comedy show where americans in america covering the american news are called foreign agents yes it's good to be with fellow foreign agents. you probably already heard that last week the monsters crushing antiestablishment anti-corporate voices took some steroids injections right and they go now ad or the giant hers eight hundred pages were banned. from facebook last week without so much as a warning but if you're the mainstream media then you would say these were eight hundred
2:28 am
m. accounts these were not real pages but the truth is of those eight hundred many were legitimate journalistic enterprises like anti media free thought project police the police and cop block other pages were just heavily restricted for example the anti censorship social media platform mines dot com can no longer be shared on facebook and if you're even thinking about minds facebook will fill your timeline with photos of your ex's wedding. and images of people exactly ten pounds lighter than you. this is a full frontal crushing of dissident voices let's find out let's find out what's going on and let's get it directly from the sources anti media's twitter account said quote oh sorry suspended ok let's go to editor in chief of anti media kerry whether she's a great writer she done some really important work anyway as she boldly stated on
2:29 am
her twitter account what did god say it is going on. oh i get it i would like i was going crazy with some sort of conspiracy theory but this is not a theory it's just a conspiracy. facebook conspired with twitter to shut down a large swath of alternative independent media on the same day and because they thought doing that might drive people to other anti-censorship platforms they also banned links to mine dot com oh cool this is like all full on fascist takeover of thought but in like a cool new information age you know it so it's fun for the home kid rock n but let's dig a little deeper what is mark zuckerberg thinking well. there's the fact he was clearly thinking of running for president how do i know that well ok i think of what do you need to run for president you need money to buy the presidency jack
2:30 am
you need to pretend to be religious oh but zucker berg is an atheist no wait recently he found religion thank goodness turns out it was right under the couch cushions all along. ok so money jack religion jack you need a good social media presence i heard he has a strong facebook page. or all of the facebook pages and then finally you need to pretend to give us about the american people that might be a little harder always to the bird went on a year long listening tour and twenty seven t.v. where he'd spread to all of fifty states ok but someone who is truly running for president.
