living rapidly becomes the reality of our times and is pretty much the guaranteed future of our evolution the safety and security of the internet of things should be one of mankind's highest priorities one would think much like nucular power for the baby boomers the internet and its connectivity in every aspect of our lives and infrastructures not only the greatest source of this generation's power but could also very easily become the cause of its destruction as well which is why many feel this past monday as were revealed at the paris peace forum of the new paris call for trust and security in cyberspace initiative is long overdue signed by more than fifty nations ninety nonprofits and universities and one hundred thirty private corporations and groups the initiative is designed to establish international norms for the internet in order to support an open secure stable accessible and peaceful cyber space and to reaffirm that the same rights that people have offline must also

be protected online some of the signing these include countries like germany france and the united kingdom in fact all of the european union signed on as well as japan and south korea but curiously it was the countries who didn't sign the agreement that surprised the world the least given their respective histories in the world of cyber offensive weapons spying and hacking the biggest names not on the list include russia china and the united states of america along with israel or ron and north korea now as to why the united states chose not decide its name on the dotted line no one at this time knows except the new york times posits that it could be because the us does not want to limit its options for using offensive and defensive cyber weapons. because you know who wants to lead the way for cyber peace in the twenty first century when you've got to feed the three headed conflict addicted beast that is the n.s.a.

cia and the pentagon which is why my friends we must always be watching hawks. to. get the. real that we. need to. be like you that i got. was that we. would. be. welcome on the watch in the hawks i am so rove and and. yet why are we not that i know any fear is why are we as you know just how you would think with all of the bellyaching that we do about cybersecurity and all of the complaining over and over and over again and over hacked our elections and all of this that we would

be the first people to sign up for a set up and say you know what let's lead the way this has to stop you know and let's put our name on the line and. the agreement lays out about nine different points kind of going forward it say and a few of those are to prevent and recover from malicious cyber activities that threaten or cause significant indiscriminate or systemic harmed individuals and critical infrastructure and a good point you know weapons we don't want to countries knocking each other's power grids out or their banks or their banks great point they it's also talks about preventing activity that intentionally or substantially damages the general availability and integrity of the public or of the internet so you know not depriving people the ability to communicate. and it also says that these countries are growing and corporations and everybody that signed this are also going to develop ways to prevent the proliferation of malicious i.c.t. tools and practices intended to cause or you know although i mean you have good

companies from what facebook microsoft and all of these huge companies signing on private industry governments everybody all sides are going to there's universal agreement that they made things up the ranch and russia and russia and north korea i mean and north korea and israel. yes and you also mentioned the room that no one ever ran an arc korea so yeah and so you're looking at a bunch of people who lot of areas that not only have to be concerned about being victims of offensive cyber action or have been victims of cyber action they want to thank him as. with iran or in russia or couple of years ago they had after obama said we'll do stuff then they had a huge issue with a number of banks. so i think it's it's that idea of keeping keeping some sort of

sad a grasp of ground rules. which were supposed to have him and conflict but then hey you know no one else is allowed here gas but we can use it on our citizens and that's ok because of course so it's a whole is it like you said it's like a lot of things there's no teeth to it it does and it lacks any real judicial world solide we can make you do so it doesn't require governments or corporations to legally inherit to any of the principles so they're not forcing anybody to do anything and ultimately it's mostly symbolic it's just the idea of a need for diplomacy and cooperation and cyber space because you can put up a magical wall to fix a problem on cyberspace no it doesn't work that way it is build a wall no these are those things that you need to do these are those things that are the first steps in the. then developing maybe internet international laws and things like that to me in cyberspace and what we do with cyber weapons and things like that. it's interesting when you talk about why states of america.

the new york times actually reporting on this reference to past arguments as a guide and they said american officials are leery of any kind of agreement that might make illegal the types of activity like espionage data manipulation or talks on infrastructure that the united states may want to use and. so we don't want to move because it's going to limit our ability to go on the offensive it's going to limit our ability to say if we go to war with iran to knock out. power grid using internet viruses. because that's literally what we. talk about around the specially the time. because the u.s. had a secret program which. the power of the patriarchy. was about trying

to shut down we know that there were plans to going into china to be able to do that in other places. these kind of things we have to learn how to deal with each other. and i have some ground rules. and speaking of big brother it appears that our good friends of the da and the i have been rather busy lately but not for anything having to directly to do with immigration or customs or law enforcement but everything to do with surveillance hidden surveillance and soon to the american people or anyone else that happens to drive by walk near or in the general vicinity of your average everyday street light yes it's been reported that but the da and ice have contracted and been installing hidden cameras and an unknown number of streetlights across the united states or to america's actually banks has more. to the average person the soul looks like a street light but what you can't see with the naked eye is that the street light

may come equipped with a surveillance camera that's all watching your every move very federal contracting documents revealed the d.n.a. an ice had hidden an undisclosed number of surveillance cameras and side street lights around the country the d.n.i. hired a houston based company christie crawford who codes cowboy street light concealments with her husband was a houston police officer told a news website courts things are always being watched it doesn't matter if you're driving down the street or visiting a friend of government or law enforcement or has a reason to set up surveillance there's a great technology out there to do it according to reports the da has paid cowboys streetlight concealment twenty two thousand dollars since june twenty eighth and i says speed the business twenty eight thousand dollars over the same time period in addition to this new development the da has placed surveillance cameras inside of traffic barrels the agency also operates

a network of digital display roadsides that can automatically read anyone's license plates many people oppose this type of surveillance b.c.l. you has come out against video surveillance dating it hasn't proven to be a fact of and it susceptible to abuse but to. really placing many people's lives at risk of facing discrimination the c.l.u. says according to a sociological study black people were between one and a half and two and a half times more likely to be surveilled than one would expect from their presence in the population at this time it is unclear how many cameras have been installed or where new and somas will take place over experts say surveillance cameras in u.s. cities are expected to become more prevalent and washington actually banks arts here . wow. this bugs the big question. yeah how does this work exactly well. this is the question who asked for this and

what is this great pressing public safety. to put you know for the d.a. and i use of all agencies to put street lights surveillance cameras in around the country like what would where was the cry out that oh we need cameras right here in the north to bust drugs or bust illegal immigration or haul i think i'm examining a cowboy is a friend of somebody's who's a friend of somebody haven't decided to give them a little money i just think it's a terrible idea oh it is a really terrible idea and it begs the question again why you know then why is it that every time another person of whatever race or walks and somewhere and shoots up a bunch of people why do i always have to hear they were known by police so if you already know you don't need more cameras maybe she just pay attention to the people you already know exist and sort of trying to catch what's going to you people know that there are cameras by. the. you know you're walking by

a camera what is the use of these at intersections are there a lot of drug and coyote's dropping people off in the middle of downtown houston where we are and where it is what's also interesting the deer. it was also placed covert surveillance cameras inside traffic barrels go like those big orange barrels and what the in fact quartz is reporting that the dia operates a network of digital speed display roadsides that contain automatic readers in them as well who tells you what speed you're going and then takes a picture of relays and slate so that they know you're so young and again this is one of those legs that they're just absurd lived through like i don't remember congress approval or no i don't remember any you know locals jurisdictions across a bunch of these things i remember there's been no that i know of public debate and there were no every vote obviously this that's the problem you know why people don't focus we don't vote on actual issues we vote on people who might might pay attention to be issues we care about or what we need in this country is more voting

for admission of federal initiatives need to have literally we need to have votes about these things that's my opinion because i don't think that there's any reason to spend this money on this and as chad morrow a senior advocacy and policy counsel for the american civil liberties union told courts that efforts to put these cameras and there are industry lights have proposed before by local local law enforcement quote it basically has the ability to turn every street light into a surveillance device which is very orwellian to say the least and most direct station jurisdictions the local police department of public works are authorized to make these decisions unilaterally and in secret there's no public debate or oversight and that's the problem this whole idea that law enforcement of any any any kind is allowed to go in and make decisions without checking with the public that is wrong period and it has to stop because guess what we pay your salaries you wouldn't be working in law enforcement if it wasn't for our tax dollars just

a little bit as we go to break or quads or don't we're going to let us know what you think of the topics of cover the facebook and twitter see our poll shows at our team dot com coming up we lift up the hood and reveal the engine manufacturer in the twenty first century pop culture with writer and former music journalist some. watch. that whole russia gate hoax never got any traction this then no prob but it's great troll bait and i think trump is pleased that he increased seats in the senate and he'll get barking mad nancy pelosi hitting the russia gave them every single day

drive ratings for rachel maddow al it will do nothing to help them and twenty. it's hard to imagine after the war a nazi doctor was still active rich in the nineteen seventies crittle had as the chair of its board a man convicted of mass murder and slavery was a german company develops a little drug that was promoted as completely safe even during pregnancy and it turned out of terrible side effects what has happened to my baby anything. you know she said is just good choice minix a little mind victims i have to this day received no compensation they never apologized for the suffering they. not only want the money i want the revenge.

that's not on every. when the european tour for the band threatened kicked off on november first in london venues were expecting hundreds of attendees for the well like del a band with thirty eight thousand likes on facebook a beverly hills based manager top of the line tour vehicles and a record deal talked about in

a major music magazine but something was amiss at that first london show at a venue called the underworld which has held host to such rock legends as bad religion anthrax and radiohead it's truly a place that has launched careers and it would've if any a body had been there to see it see despite threaten being wildly popular and having presold hundreds of tickets nobody showed up to their shows because threaten isn't a real band their management company doesn't exist the record label they have a deal with is all fraud and all those fans will their fake see bandleader jared threatened that it is unclear if that is his real name seems to have fabricated a series of companies including but not limited to a record label support a lot of records a music popular cation top rock press which named threaten their twenty seventeen artist of the year saying the band broke into the public consciousness with

a debut album breaking the world the booking company stage right bookings which claims to book tours for dozens of bands in europe in the united states and had all the arrangements for their friends threaten to work was. just a total fraud as well completely made up the facebook likes were purchased and the people who said they were going to attend the events on the facebook event pages were in brazil. all of that once word got out that this band wasn't what they see in the other shows were canceled like one in belfast then two of the three musicians hired to be in the band left after scouring the deception the world is now wondering what the heck all of this is about what i mean did jared threaten if that is real names there is a good become famous by pretending to be famous although isn't pretending to be famous how pretty much everyone from the car dash ins to justin bieber actually got famous but we aren't the only ones wondering what the point of all this was the

former drummer for the threaten to ordain davis spoke out on facebook that he and the other hired musicians didn't know about the con fitting quote i know that there's a lot of questions right now i myself have questions honestly it's such a surreal strange thing that's happened with this tour. joining us now to pop culture in the face is a los angeles based writer and for our music journalist sabrina got not a thank you so much for joining us today. so the root of the how are you. this is an interesting and wild story and i want to start by asking you here's a guy who bought. gave the impression that they were much more popular than the band was much more popular live at really was no interesting as we've seen major record labels busted for boosting views on facebook and followers on twitter back to the bay record companies paid radio stations outright to play their artist so let me ask you how you know how does one differ from what the you know quote

unquote legitimate of the music industry does sometimes on a daily basis. i think that jared forgot the number one rule of manufacturing fame which is you have to actually go viral in order to pull this off and he essentially was just skip that middle part he manufactured popularity and then he jumped to the part where he acted like he was famous and i think that's the part that people don't like like people don't want to see the puppet tearing in the background they just want they want to feel like it's natural even though it's not. true do you think like we all rebecca black do you remember sorry do you remember back a black with a stupid friday song like she went viral and then she got popular but like she didn't make this song and then say she was popular it's a very specific different that is almost it's hard to understand one venue that was in birmingham the asylum told metal socks magazine this is my favorite

story of the way by the way that i get to bring up like anthrax and metal magazine and on their joy i said we were one of two venues on the tour like the underworld the asylum to venue was hired by casey marshall stay at stage right booking the higher fee was. paper full months ago when we asked for a ticket update we were told that sales were one seventy one so considering one of the things that came up in the story is that threaten more or less saying my name it even makes me laugh. threaten more or less rented a bunch of venues and everyone still got paid what is it that bothers music fans about this site and like the fitness of it but what is it that makes a real music fan. get that bad taste in their mouth when things like this come up. i just think that when you don't have any fan these like you can do all the back like you can manufacture as much as you want and so much of what music is today is manufacturing you know i mean like it's very feel like even big bands it's like

they put the pieces together like people don't mind that what they mind is that this dude was so bold as to say i i don't care about the part where i actually have to be popular you know what i mean like it's insulting to an audience to. be told that something is are they decide if it's art you put the pieces into place but basically you know it's interesting is in two thousand and seven. rapper post malone was able to get to number one on billboard charts were his single rock star by posting a video on you tube of the songs chorus loop for almost about roughly four minutes now in the description were links to streaming services that played the whole song and since billboard is starting to use you tube views to calculate spots on the charts the forty one million views by the post alone chorus was weighted the same as the remarks of the song i got to ask if we've been trained by social media to ignore obvious deception and what does it say about that we almost seem to kind of

enjoy being lied to by the right people. i think that people believe that being lied to in a specific way is part of inclusive eighty when it's not like it's like when the jokes on you and you're not laughing you know what i mean like i think that people can distinguish the difference between those two things and when they feel like they're being laughed at which is basically what jared kind of pulled off their insulted post malone did it but people were really listening to that stupid loop you know what i mean like the there's an audience for him and they love him there is no audience for jared jared just some schmuck who has the money here's the thing when you have the money to pull this off and then you act like you don't have to do the middle work that's when people get annoyed like actually being popular like. it's not like paris hilton just showed up and was like oh people knew who she was and she did the work in the middle you know i mean like she doesn't have a talent but like she she understood that she had to like do the work show up to

events like become what she became and stead of just being like i bought the likes . i have manufactured all these law is like it's reality t.v. without an audience and that is what's insulting because it means we're supposed to be watching and we're not. that's actually a really good point i think that we you know advertising i worked in advertising for about ten years which i just called lying because that's what you do it's about making people feel bad about themselves for whatever reason and then convincing them you can fix that for them and i feel like the entertainment business almost as a music business sort of come in that it's you know there's a manufacturer you know taylor swift i'm angry at my boyfriend or i just broke up turned on taylor swift or anthrax depending on what kind of gal you are i'm more of an anthrax person when i break up with somebody but is there is sort of what does it say about our pop culture about our you know pop culture is such a mess right now i feel like you know it's this big game that everybody tries to

play but real artists and real stories are being lost so what does it tell us about our own pop culture that someone as centrally it comes out to as you said if you have enough money you can just buy yourself a popularity or like paris hilton the perfect example she had all the money in the world she at least still put in the effort. what do you think it's. it's such a it's this is such a weird thing because i think that we don't have any value for the true self that we are and so the sense of vulnerability in being an artist is lost and it's all like shellacked and paint and like. like there's no soul to what people are create. so the artist gets lost in the mix and it's about facade and face and like you know what people what will make people forget all this crazy stuff that's

happening in the universe so nobody actually wants art anymore they want the perception of our everything that's happening now is the perception of like i watched two dudes get into a fight recently because one guy was like the perception of it's not reality and i'm like yes it is that's exactly what it is right now like the perception of it's how we have this president you know what i mean like when he says that there is like all the biggest like whenever he's everything that he says is a perception of it's his perception but a bunch of people believe it if you're believing in a specific kind of reality it's reality and i feel like in this way like what pop culture is all about like what people are willing to perceive when it comes to an artist and you really don't have to work that hard as an artist as long as you have a team of people who do what needs to be done and i think that that's probably jared's biggest mistake is that he did it all himself and he thought he was clever and that's what's really pissing people off you know it's interesting because i kind of look at this and maybe i'm wrong in the comparison but it kind of comes off

to me like the music industry is tommy was. you know he kind of comes off to me like the director of the room where you know he really thought i think this was going to work i can create all this i can create all of this side by the book this tour i can go out i can say i'm a i'm a working musician and pole this all of. you know once the barrel was lifted never was as though you know but i'm going to say that this and agree with me i'm only got about thirty seconds left but he'll probably get fame for a live person might actually pull a career out of this storm. fear of the lord failing in that will failing an astronomical way is much cooler than actually succeeding and that's something that people can actually relate to if he's smart he can take that spin and do something better with it that's like what my advice would be to him like does your music actually sokoban admit it everything right now go all in and like try to do something with what you've done. thank you so much for coming on with. me back out

again sometime in the near future but you're so much. thanks guys. around thirty three million people suffer the effects of. that one that will rotate girl ation. when you're in a regular heart rate that can significantly reduce the risk of heart attacks strokes and other heart related complications it's the most common and thought to be under reported hurt issue and the number of people with it is expected to double to over sixty six million worldwide by two thousand and thirty by studying ways to treat the problem has actually proven quite difficult since the only way to test drugs and treatment on the heart tissue required growing heart muscles in a flat petri dish until now c. scientists the university medical center at homburg epidaurus found a way to grow heart muscle cells in the shape of the atrial heart muscle and as you can see in this video it can be like a real heart that means doctors and researchers will be able to study both mechanical treatments and pharmaceutical ones without threatening live human tissue

or testing on animals and so you know despite the chaos i'm alive all around us in the world and it seems as though we're always just a heartbeat away from some groundbreaking medical miracles that we are it leaves the about is our show for you today remember everyone in this world we are told of your love of soya tell you all i love you i am tired of them for that and i'm sad for the while it was watching those hawks out there that were great britain but everybody. anyone else seems wrong why don't we just kill all. to me

to be yet to shape out these days becomes to educate and in games from an equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. tracking gave america a lot of new job opportunities i needed to come up here to make some money i could make twenty five thousand dollars as a teacher or i could make fifty thousand dollars a year truck so i chose to drive trucks people who rush to a small town in north dakota was among the employment rate of zero percent like the gold rush is very very similar to. this beautiful story ended with pollution and the bus station a lot of people have left here i don't know too many people here anymore slow down

from the last jobs that laid off the american dream is changing that's not what it used to be. and it's a tough reality to. palestinian groups the class a truce with this rally after a deadly exchange of cross border fire. reports to the parliament's raises maybe your opinion weaponry and sing up in the hands of isis terrorists in iraq from syria. is a high ranking police woman in france takes a right by his opposition parties claim the government's for a wave of suicides on the full. and the latest on the stories head. stay with us for across talks abating whether more than in this impasse lost its purpose.
