so 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 supply 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 web site armed and ready stain receives largest ammo shipment in years the article goes on to quote the eighty sixth month munitions operation sex and she 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. future of the utero operations whatever could that be so so what exactly will these theatre 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 be syria iran ukraine africa take your pick of the us latest arms shipments could be used for 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 church of peace cannot a band still road littered with can. 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. that the. real that is. as. to. what they like you that i got. with that we. would. welcome everyone the watching the hawks i am tyro ventura and i'm south while it. well it's really it's what is the theater operation to take a wild guess it's not a production about probably probably. and or expected or

feared conflicts and 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 of first leisure oh you know big shipment of military hardware or whatever but as we've seen through history it's always that you know you've got to watch the movements of arms in order to 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 let's say you end up with world war two ends well where'd all these tanks come from for the korean war because they were over there and they moved them and the fletcher prouty to believe wasn't talked about that like you know seeing all the invasion military hardware that was going to use in japan suddenly mysteriously shipped off to life or korea vietnam all these places where maybe we end up using a. lot of those are 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.t.i. was previously known as the european reassurance initiative and that's funded military projects in europe since the russian intervention in ukraine in two thousand and fourteen so you already see that groundwork by the full is over and crimea. let me but 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 will 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 and munitions to fulfill real world objectives bat's the reason we're downloading nice 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 is for conflicts in wherever mostly africa. and europe and if we need to push those even for there anymore 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 right now i care 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 get you know as we got to watch where the stuff goes because that's most important thing

you can do when you're watching the hawks yet is you've got to follow not just the money but the military hardware. and one of the things i think people should know about is what that basis is really like yeah base this rump state not the bay and but the american military base that's in germany yeah it was opened back in fifty three and is essentially the headquarters of the u.s. air force in europe and africa nato is allied air command the base is like the rural part of south west germany and is that maybe a little america because it has something like fifty thousand u.s. military personnel observed really as 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 of one bases were dequeue was ridiculous and sounds well we have like have to have we have a dozen or more more is quite nonsense 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 is it any surprise that recently folks here were greeted to headlines of panic and problems that they had. decommission nuclear production complex operated by the u.s. government on the beautiful columbia river in washington here is r t america with more. one of the largest nuclear plants in the united states is telling r.t. it's back to business after steam escaped from a 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 is in 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 showed in the tunnel resulting from the curing of the engineered 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 fort 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 placed 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 so. action of another tunnel caved in no major injuries were reported the hanford nuclear site which has been decommissioned employs about nine thousand workers whose main object is to clean up the toxic waste reported in new york today the charges are t. . bone least like clarify between steam and water vapor right here biology is three of them. have fun trying to figure out the difference three moves through. here so one of the things you know about this they hamper it say it 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 fashion which would be the bomb that was the nuclear bomb was detonated over nagasaki japan seventy three years ago this is one of the i mean thankfully no one was hurt thankfully you know apparently there with no radioactive materials or energy was released into the air. you know but because he's skeptical i understand now on a side i'm not really you know 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. according to the department of energy the u.s. government's nuclear weapons program has 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. 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 produced the more waste will have and the like we're talking about earlier today is that we don't have like you're mentioning most nuclear weapons all stored at these sites say it right across the country as opposed to even just one site the containers that we don't. know i mean there's the

yucca mountain site and about a but that. hasn't. been made oh no it's going to be. 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 kept straight so i could maybe just put out one of the. video. watchers both for good to let us know what you think of a top richard cover to facebook and twitter see our poll shows that our team. coming up author and human rights lawyer dan koblick joins us to discuss the recent brazilian presidential election the controversial color the. role and then we will look at the human kindness that can come out of tragedy stay tuned to watch of the whole.

what politicians do you should. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president if you. want to get. to the right place this is what the three of them either. i'm interested always in the lives of. twenty forty you know bloody revolution of. the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it you know lawyer here to put it pretty mean you are let's put the video in the belief that i'm the leader of the former ukrainian

president recalls the events of twenty four g. and. those who took. it invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these another goal that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy one sunday shouldn't let it be an arms race in this spearing dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.

liberalism used policies like fiscal austerity financial deregulation free trade in the privatization of public assets in order to shrink the size and reach of government as a whole but while you know liberalism has had some success in other countries brazil is not one of them and fact me a liberal policy is cause 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 sixteen since then many of wondered what direction the latin american country would take and with the election of what many are describing as a far right nationalist gyre bolus naro to the presidency many wonder if a swing in the opposite direction is the answer voter and brazilian citizen carlos alberto does silva told the atlantic quote i don't think he's great but i want to

see if he could change things because we have to do something about security and about education and the economy the economy if he tries to install a dictatorship the senate and everyone else would stop him right now joining us now to help us understand the future and brazil's past is author a human rights attorney dan coveleski whose new book the plot to control the world how the u.s. spent billions to change the outcomes of elections around the world his shelves this november welcome dan. thank you very much to have a fit there and always a pleasure to have you on the show and i want to start by saying look like most politicians you know brazilian president elect those are your bill snow made a lot of promises bold statements the front of some of his wealth the least we can say is in some comments during the election and kind of use the same excuse trump it well it's all just talk blah blah blah blah blah is balsam. as dangerous is he dangerous to democracy in brazil from what you've seen and what you've studied down there. well 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 actually described 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 an arrow was democratically elected as 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 or many of us believe were improper.

amounted to soft coup that were supported very directly by the united states by the way and had lula da silva not been 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 bronx that vote the election of trump in the u.s. and and show 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. these earlier days of social horribleness come up with a better term yeah i think that's a fair statement i don't think you know 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 the broken ironically though it's the right wing that's now in power the broke it. by their attack against still ma and lula decision and it's strange that they were awarded for that. by this

vote but yeah i do think that there's going to be a lot of buyer's remorse amongst the voting 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 or leaders kind of want to push something the the populace doesn't necessarily want one of those controversial ideas that you know 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 ranked 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 don't what do 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 a protest 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 coup 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 that's 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 so do no troops to meet people coming to the border down to get a safe if you so much for coming on to him to day which is going to 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 center got 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 am power change the campaign hopes to help provide for the immediate and short term needs of the injured victims and their grieving families and all the campaign is open to all faiths nearly seventy percent of the contributors are coming from those of muslim faith may the losses of daniel stein choice feinberg richard godfried roy smiling or jerry rubin to cecil and david rosenthal bernier's and so. and simon melvin wax and irving younger bring about more love than the hate that made it possible made their communities become stronger in their struggle mary love always be much more valuable than our hate it's. beautiful stuff to see if there's like a possible solution. or just a bit. like a sub my goodness come come from tragedy and we need more goodness than one of the tragedies that are everybody's out of our show for you today remember one of us

world we are not told we were lucky enough so i tell you all i love you i hope i rolled winter up and on top of the lawless keep on watching those talks about the great day and night it would put. up there. while giving and this us. and. the union one so like yes i'll sit down. rational a south and. desire for love need to feel. that the new. place now watch. the pull me up my
