elections and all of this. people. lead the way. and let's put our name on. the agreement about nine different points kind of going forward and a few of those are to. cause significant indiscriminate systemic individuals and critical infrastructure i think a good point weapons we don't want to countries knocking each other's power grids. or their banks great point. it's also talks about preventing activity that intentionally or substantially damages the general availability and integrity of the public. and it also says that these countries are growing and corporations and everybody to sign this are also going to develop ways to prevent proliferation of malicious. practices intended to cause.

good companies. companies private industry government. there's universal agreement. and north korea. iran and north korea. you're looking at a bunch of people who. not only have to be concerned about. iran or in russia or couple years ago. with a number of banks. i think it's a. that idea of keeping keeping some sort of sat

a graph 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 good for so it's a whole is it like you said it's like a lot of things there's no teeth to it it doesn't it lacks any real judicial world solid 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 cyberspace 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 right you know in them developing maybe internet you know international laws and things like that to ring in cyberspace and what we do with cyber weapons and things like that and you know it's interesting when the when

you talk about why no united states of america the new york times actually reporting on this referenced pos arguments as a guide they sort of american officials are leery of any kind of agreement that might make illegal the types of activity like espionage data manipulation or talks other infrastructure that the united states may want to use in future conflicts so we don't want to say moves deal 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 the knockout euro or you know iran's power grid using viruses you know internet viruses writings about major you know well yeah because that's literally what we do yeah i mean not as we've done in the past and you talk about around the specially the times notes that the pentagon worries that because the u.s. had a secret program which brought up the nie truces which was time now. the power of the patriarchy. dros. manley but that was about

trying to shut down the power grid and we know that there were plans to going into china and to be able to do that in other places and to me that just that crosses a line into a humane you can't shut up people's power you can't do 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 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 reveal the d.n.a. and i use have hidden an undisclosed number of surveillance cameras and side street lights around the country the d.n.i. hired a houston based company kristi 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 paid 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 speed 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 light surveillance cameras in the around the country like what would where was the cry out that oh we need cameras right here to nor 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 gender 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. a.t.m. you know you're walking by a camera what is the use of these at intersections are there a lot of drug and coyote dropping people off in the middle of downtown houston we're. also police covert surveillance cameras inside traffic barrels you know like those big orange barrels and what the court is reporting that the d.a. operates a network of digital display roadsides that contain automatic with them as well so it tells you what speed you're going and then takes a picture of your life. and this is one of those like. they just lived through like i don't remember congress approving no i don't remember any local jurisdiction over go pass a bunch of these things i remember there's been no that i know of public debate on whether or not. that's a problem you know why people don't vote because we don't vote on actual issues we vote on people who might might pay attention to the issues we care about what we

need in this country is more voting for an initiative 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 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 of a 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 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 kind is allowed to go in and make decisions without checking with the public that is wrong period and it has to stop because we pay your salaries you wouldn't be working in law enforcement if it wasn't for our tax dollars. but out there as we go to break

watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered a base but of course the our poll shows our teeth dot com coming up we lift up the hood and reveal the engine manufacturer of the twenty first century pop culture with writer and former music journalist sabrina could not stay to watch the hawks.

and with the systems to submit wolf. my love for sunday and this is their. role is going to say the boy understands with the must be so it looks. this is the . pope who. got a fellow plus now because i am. ok see that i'm going back to the bios to look at the model you punish to blow it's so much more to show such as the fluid so almost like. you do in your midst.

to. show it's seemed wrong. but old rules just don't hold. any old belief yet to shape out these days you can stick out to it and engage with because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to press. it to the right to be press it's like the before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested in

the waters in the. city. cranking gave americans 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 truck people rush to a small town in north dakota was an unemployment rate of zero percent like gold rush is very very similar to a gold rush but this beautiful story ended with pollution and devastation a lot of people have left here i don't know too many people here and just slow down so much they lost their jobs that laid off the american dream is changing that's not what it used to be. and it's a tough reality to deal with. thank

. you thank. god. nobody. when the european tour for the band threatened kicked off on november first in london venue as were expecting hundreds of attendees for the while like del a band with thirty eight thousand likes on facebook a bad really healthy bass 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 had but he had been there to see it see despite threatened being wildly popular and having presold hundreds of tickets nobody showed up to their shows because threatened isn't a real band their management company doesn't exist the record label they have a deal with is a fraud and all those fans will their fake see bandleader jared threatened though 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 super live records a music publication top rock press which named threatened or 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 the friends threatened tour 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 seemed 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 i mean did jerry threaten if that is his real name seriously figure 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 threatened tour de davis spoke out on facebook that he and the other hired musicians didn't know about the concept and 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 it is a los angeles based writer and for our music journalist sabrina to thank you so much for joining us today. so we read of the how are you. this is an interesting and wild story and i want to start by asking you here is a guy who bought viewers rented venues gave the impression that they were much more popular than the band was much more popular look at really was no but that's what's interesting is 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 what 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. jump 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 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 stocks magazine and on the joy i said we were one of two venues on the tour like the underworld the asylum two venue was hired by casey marshall's stage right booking the higher fee was paid 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 but it makes me laugh the 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. i 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 what 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 that twenty seven. rapper post malone was able to get to number one on billboard charts were 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 where links to streaming services that played the whole song and since billboard are starting to use you tube views to calculate spots on the charts the forty one million views for the post alone chorus was weighted the same as the remakes 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 has a music business sort of come in that it's you know there's a manufacturer taylor swift i'm angry at my boyfriend or i just broke up turned on taylor swift or anthrax depending on what 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 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 says. 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 poll this all. 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 the stone. 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 sock than admit it had 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. your bag 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 and so 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 it 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 see scientists in 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 we are it leaves them about as our show for you to be remember everyone in this world we are told of your love of choice tell you all i love you i am tired over and on top of the well it's you for watching those hawks out there ever grade them by the book. as the media you become on hinged in there of trump the president's most ardent

critics in the media hang on his every word nuisance. i go after new cycle are all about trying and much of this coverage is negative as journalism lost its purpose are journalists now nothing more than ideological advocates. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one business show you can't afford to miss the one and only boom

but. it's hard to imagine the decades after the war a nazi don't tell was still active and rich in a nineteen seventies critelli head as the chair of its board a man convicted of mass murder and slavery at auschwitz a german company develops and the demise of drug it was promoted as completely safe even during pregnancy it turned out to have terrible side effects what has happened to my baby is anything but. you know she said she's just got choked up minutes and i don't mind victims i have to this day received no compensation then never apologized for the suffering that not only want the money i want the revenge.
