greetings and salutations. the world can be a very very scary place hawk watchers but it's in these times of uncertainty that we must remain diligent in our fight for peace and not get distracted and subdue spy the constant headlines of fear and terror because it's buried behind and beneath these headlines of fear that vital information about the future stability of peace can often get lost take this headline for example recently seen in the united states air force is very own website. armed and ready stain receives largest ammo shipment in years the article goes on to quote the eighty six that money munitions operations sex and ship section chief one master sergeant david head excitedly lamenting that this is the largest shipment of its kind since

operation allied force which took place in one nine hundred ninety nine he is of course referring to the nato bombing of yugoslavia against serbian president slobodan milosevic and his ethnic cleansing campaign master sergeant had went on to inform air force readers that the munitions that we received will be used for future theater operations and the evolving u.s. european command presence. in future theater operations whatever could that be so so what exactly will these theater operations consist of well because if there was one thing we know hawk watchers you do not move massive amounts of ammunition unless there is a massive amount of fighting on the horizon could it be syria iran ukraine africa take your pick of the u.s. military machines latest propped a boogie man and you could make a legitimate argument for how these latest arms shipments could be used for

a member former prime british prime minister david lloyd george once famously declared you are not going to get to peace with millions of armed men the chariot of peace cannot a band still road littered with camels. see peace is not found my friends through fire superiority contrary what the bumper stickers may say peace can only be found if you start watching the hawks. wonder what it. looks like real with this one. as you are part of. what they like you know that i got. was that we. would.

welcome everyone watching the harks i am tyrone ventura and i'm to have a flawless. and well it's really it's what is the theater operation to take a wild guess it's not a production about probably probably be impending or expected or feared conflicts in ukraine and syria as you said possibly with russia i've been sort of you know bullet saber rattling we've got the ball it was the this was kind of things to have that when you see these headlines they seem real innocuous to first leisure oh you know big shipment of military hardware what to wear but as we've seen through history it's always that big you know you've got to watch the movements of arms in order kind of figure out what is going to be on the horizon why do you need these many arms over so much because they can move from one place to the next to the next not so you end up with world war two ends well where all these tanks come from for the korean war because they were over there and they moved them and fletcher prouty

a believer wasn't talked about that like you know seeing all the invasion military hardware there was going to use of japan suddenly mysteriously shipped off to life or korea vietnam all these places where they were using on a lie. though for it's interesting because master sergeant arthur mirrored the eighty six missions squadrons flight chief of the stockpile of ramstein would be added to the air force's war reserve material in europe and would support this interesting phrase european deterrence the european deterrence initiative now the e d i was previously known as the european reassurance initiative and that's funded military projects in europe suits the russian intervention in ukraine in two thousand and fourteen so you already see the groundwork my will is over crimea. when i make that i feel that over it there it's interesting good mothers also

remember that we're looking at places africa is another and i think people forget exactly how many bullets are actually made and now much munition would be needed for all of those things the eighty six munitions squadrons fight chief which is master sergeant arthur myrick actually said we're major airlift for u.s. air forces in europe air forces africa so these are real world munitions to fulfill real world objective that's the reason we're downloading things to make sure we have the capability to move the fight forward if need be so what they're saying is that we need the for conflicts in wherever mostly africa. i and europe and if we need to push those even farther and more more. terror disgustingly and mar destructively we want to make sure we have enough bullets to do it. and that's the thing you know that's the thing that gets me with stuff like this because it's like when you read

lives like push the fight forward right you know. ok we're what fight you know like water with like that's the biggest thing and we're going to follow this story we'll keep following the story just to kind of do you know what it is we got to. watch where the stuff goes because of the most important thing you can do when you're watching the hawks yet there's you gotta follow not just the money but the military hardware. and one of the things i think people should know about is what the bases really like yeah the base this rump state not the bay and but the american military base that's in germany it was opened back in fifty three and there's a century the headquarters of the u.s. air force in europe and nato is allied air command the base is like the rural part of south was germany and it meant little america because it has something like fifty thousand u.s. military personnel of civilians it makes it the largest such community outside of the u. this is like one of the this is the major all of us lack of

a better term imperialism can you see fifty thousand soldiers and civilians on one bases were big it was ridiculous and sounds well we have like i have to have a dozen or more wars are not so somebody has got to organize the. crude oil for. the american society of civil engineers infrastructure report card of twenty seventeen gave the vital infrastructure of the united states of america a lovely d. plus a being the best being well failures so deep plus which is also the grade the several civil engineers gave america's hazardous waste programs and infrastructure a d. plus so isn't any surprise that recently folks here were greeted to headlines of panic and problems that they hand for inside a decommissioned nuclear production complex operated by the us government on the beautiful columbia river in washington well here is the america's train trial goes with more. one of the largest nuclear plants in the united states is telling r.t.

if it's back to business after steam escaped from the tunnel containing radioactive waste employees were told to take cover for several hours employees received. this text message friday morning telling them that the site isn't take cover to go to the closest take cover facility and to avoid eating or drinking anything until further notice i spoke to a rep for the company and he said there was a growing operation underway which was giving off heat and the steam was a result from the heat mixed with the cold air outside that caused the vapor for the past few weeks workers have been filling the tunnel with grout to guard against the tunnel from collapsing the tunnel still houses several rail cards that are filled with radioactive plutonium the u.s. department of energy later said inspections revealed that no evidence was found that any radioactive material was released the company said in a statement like thing cameras placed inside the tunnel to support stabilization efforts in the tunnel resulting from the curing of the engineer grout recently

placed in the tunnel to stabilize it the curing process generates heat and moisture when the warm air left the tunnel and interacted with the cool early morning hours fear steam was visible and for officials said the building where the steam was spotted houses appointment designed to move a massive door used to access the tunnel and the rail cars containing contaminated equipment were last place here in one thousand nine hundred six work in the area returned to normal operations just after the precautionary take was lifted the company did say that surveys continued throughout the weekend verify that there was no release of hans or vista material and they are now using the term water vapor as opposed to steam the latest incident comes more than a year after a twenty foot section of another tunnel caved in no major injuries were reported to him for nuclear sites which has been decommissioned employs about nine thousand workers whose main object is to clean up the toxic waste reported in new york trade

each of us are to. add water vapor grow your biology is through there have been trying to figure out the. one street moves to. here so one of the things you know about this the hamper inside is that it was a plutonium manufacturing site so the first nuclear bomb tested at the trinity site was put on me and was from there as well as the plutonium that went into which would be the that was the nuclear bomb detonated over nagasaki japan. three years ago this is one of the i mean thankfully no one was hurt thankfully you know apparently they're saying that no radioactive. materials or energy was released into the air or out of her you know but cars have to go i understand on a side i'm not really i now by and after everything we've seen over the years i understand the six skepticism look i mean the united states has over ninety

thousand metric tons of nuclear waste that requires disposal the u.s. commercial power history alone has generated more ways than any other country with nearly eighty thousand troops the spent nuclear fuel is enough to build a football field about twenty meters deep. and according to the department of energy the u.s. government's nuclear weapons program is generate about fourteen thousand metric tons that is a lot of nucular waste and a d. plus infrastructure to handle it yeah and the one of the biggest problems is that the waste is stored where it's made so you've got about eighty sites in thirty five different states which covers a lot so the amount of waste is expected to go up about one hundred forty or forty thousand metric tons over the next couple of decades obviously if the new nuclear war brave whatever it is goes on that will be more because the more that is

produced and the more weapons produce the more waste we will have and the worst thing to talk about earlier today is that we don't like you mentioning most nuclear was all stored at these sites run across. the country as opposed to even just one site contains that we don't even have one site no i mean there's the yucca mountain site in nevada but that. hasn't. been made oh no it's going to be used and you know but don't worry we have made sure that you know servers full of all of our information that's stuffed up there somewhere and cap straight or maybe just put it where the big dig them up at the t.v. you're going to prepare a clock watcher of both forgot to let us know what you think of the top which would cover to facebook and twitter so your poll shows that our teeth dot com coming up author and human rights lawyer dan koval like joins us to discuss the recent brazilian presidential election the controversial kind of the. old and then we will

look at the human kindness that can come out of tragedy stay tuned to watch your local. manufacture consent to the public well. when the really close is the project themselves. with the flaming. lips and be the one. in the middle of the room sick. delete.

the old liberalism used policies like fiscal austerity financial deregulation free trade and the privatization of public assets in order to shrink the size and reach

of government as a whole but while you liberalism has had some success in other countries brazil is not one of them and fact male liberal policies caused massive debilitating inflation when implemented in the one nine hundred ninety s. by two thousand and fifteen the majority state owned oil company petro bras was mired in a scandal so big it's called the largest corruption scandal in brazilian history in the end then president dilma rousseff was impeached and removed from office and twenty sixty and since then many have wondered what direct. the latin american country would take and with the election of what many are describing as a far right nasa lose gyre bolus naro to the presidency many wonder if a swing in the opposite direction is the answer voter and brazilian citizen carlos alberto de silva told the good man a quote i don't think he's great but i want to see if he can change things because we have to do something about security and about education and the economy to me every tries to install a dictatorship the senate and every one else would stop them right now joining us

now to help us understand the future and brazil's past is author and human rights attorney dan koval and whose new book the plot to control the world how the u.s. spent billions to change the outcomes of elections around the world has shelves this november welcome dan. thank you very much tabitha there always a pleasure to have you on the show and i want to start by saying look like most politicians you know brazilian president is are you know made a lot of promises bold statements from the some of his wealth the least we can say is in some very common during the election and kind of use the same excuse troubling well it's all just talk blah blah blah blah blah is. as dangerous dangerous to democracy in brazil from what you've seen and what you've studied down there. well tyrrell i believe he is i believe he's a threat to democracy in the entire region. he's been very open about the fact that

he supported. the one nine hundred sixty four d'etat which was a military coup against a democratically elected president i should describe this in my book the us was very much behind that coup and we see echoes of that coup today in fact it has to be pointed out that while both an arrow was democratically elected is you know in terms of the vote. right now that there were two preconditions to his even being you know in the ballpark to run and that was the impeachment of president dilma and the jailing of former president lula da silva. both of those were many of us believe were improper. amounted to soft to say that were supported very directly by the united states by the way and had little of the sylvan up in jail had he been able to run.

for office he would have won with about eighty percent of the vote and so this was really a coup by the right wing. and they are now in control of the government in brazil and i think are very open about the fact they're willing to use the military to exert their will in their country. well some of the polls in brazil are showing that only about about twenty at least twenty five percent of people who voted for both did it not because they supported his vision but to punish the sort of politics as usual in fact example exit polls actually said that because you know it's mandatory or compulsory voting there that thirty percent of voters cast either blank votes or abstained completely is this more of what we've seen from the brecht vote the election of trump in the u.s. and and showed that these votes are about really the system is broken these

governments are broken and not about sort of turning back the clock to these. days earlier days of social. horribleness come up with a better term. yeah i think that's a fair statement i don't think that most people were intentionally voting for fascism in brazil and i think many people will rue the day that they spoiled their ballots or voted for both scenario but again i think it's important to note that they do see a system that broken ironically though it's the right wing that's now in power they broke it. by their attack against elna and lula disabled and it's strange that they were rewarded for that. by this vote but yeah i do think that there's going to be a lot of buyer's remorse amongst the population and you're going to see that very

quickly you know it's interesting when you look at like the you know when governments are leaders kind of want to push something the the populace doesn't necessarily want one of those controversial ideas as you expand gun ownership in brazil to combat crime but polls show that most people there don't support that. will it matter at the other they want it seems that the left and the right voting blocks in brazil want something done about the crime rates but you know their leaders are going to do the exact opposite of what they ultimately want and we see that across the border around the world you know why is there such a detachment here do you think even in countries like brazil from like the leadership to the people and what the people ultimately want. well again under under the presidency of louis silva brazil actually did a very good job of combat ing inequality combat in poverty. it did make inroads

into combating crime did a lot to protect the environment so actually there was a lot of progress towards what people wanted under lula's terms in office and in fact time magazine several years ago to lula da silva is the most influential leader in the world he is now sitting in jail. illegally in fact noam chomsky just went to visit him. a few weeks ago so again i think that that context just has to be out there and people have to realize that in fact brazilians goals were being met under lula and he now rots in jail and there's been almost no protest in the western media or by western governments about that fact about this very popular leader sitting in jail as a fascist comes to power in brazil one of the things i thought was really interesting is in your new book the plot to control the world you did talk about

you know they nine hundred sixty four crew that you know the one that it was all of boston are saying like a big right we could go back to that that coup was literally a u.s. backed government coup. do you consider these votes for someone like him to be kind of the backlash to u.s. interference as an elections. well what i see it as more of as again in addition to the there popular leader being sidelined they also see the vote as desperation you know we the let's face it world capitalism is now in huge crisis throughout the world and the sad thing is that in other times in fairly recent history there was a choice you could move towards the left. to try to solve those problems

of capitals crisis or you could choose the right the problem is right now the right is much better we're going to throughout the world than the left again that's true brazil in large part because of what the right wing did to undermine the left there and will continue to do but in general after the collapse of the soviet union to put a finer point on it. you know a lot of people saw their only protest against you know neo liberalism was ultra right wing ism and i think to combat that the left needs to reorganize in brazil and in the united states to give people an alternative to to an economic system that is failing them. well let me ask you a real quick i want to you know we've got a caravan of of refugees that are coming from central america obviously up through mexico at the united states what we have a couple minutes left what are your thoughts on that and do you think this is you

know that that is part of an organized effort to sort of show you know is this approach us or is this just literally be a fact of interfering in the drug war is than or and elections and all of that we got a couple minutes left and just like you yes i think it's all the above first of all and again i do happen to mention this in my book most of the refugees are from honduras and they are fleeing a very repressive government that again the u.s. very much helped to bring to power in two thousand and nine with the two against president and well the law of others are coming from guatemala which the u.s. interfered in for many decades supporting very brutal military dictatorships there . so yes what we're seeing is the results of very. negative interference by the u.s.

in these countries. people are i believe in this caravan as it's being called one to protest but also yes to legitimately flee unlivable situations in countries that we have made on livable not only by political and military intervention but by global warming which is making it. impossible for many farmers to grow food in these countries and again the u.s. has been historically the biggest contributor to global warming and so we see the effects of u.s. policies of failed us policies in this caravan the snow now coming to the border and i fear what the u.s. might do to prevent them from entering the u.s. i can begin to grill you i think we're all a little scared of what's going to happen there especially when you're suddenly sudden you know troops to meet people coming to the border ben i got to say thank you so much for coming on to him to day which is going to new books coming out the

plot to control the world how the u.s. but billions to change the outcome of elections or old world who chose next week thank you so much jim for coming on. thank you. the qur'an says that the equal not equal are the good deed and the bad and the case of this weekend's shooting at a pittsburgh synagogue that left eleven dead the good deeds that came and the tragedies way were much more powerful than the bad man's actions within twenty four hours of the shooting the muslim american community of pittsburgh had raised twenty five thousand dollars for the victims' families in forty eight hours they had increased and surpassed a new goal of seventy five thousand dollars increasing at a rate of two thousand dollars an hour it is now sitting around one hundred forty thousand with a no new goal of one hundred fifty thousand dollars and initially organized by celebrate mercy and m. power change the campaign hopes to help provide for the immediate and short term
