essentially here is that the status quo that's what people are not satisfied with and we. thought in terms of ideology but the status quo is is not tender because i'm going to i think you're going to see a long crumbling with the e.u. rather than any type of quick revolutionary moment and i think taking a look at the arab spring and its aftermath and what lay the ground for it is a very interesting case study for examining what is happening in europe which is really a quite a different beast entirely now the arab spring such as it was there is absolutely no question that the u.s. and other was western countries did a lot of the facilitating work on the ground that that created the conditions for it to occur i mean one example in egypt alone is the april sixth movement which was financed out of the u.s. and we saw this you know all across the board western mainstream media reported

well before the you know what arab spring go out in syria how the united states was meddling in syrian politics beaming radio pro opposition radio into the country doing everything they could to stir up the pot but many times like with in egypt with the april sixth movement supported by the state department and the you know the rest of the government particularly the pentagon supporting the mubarak regime you saw us institutions actually work and work purposes to each other and then the result there were you know really was was quite unexpected and they did not know how to deal we saw a clinton and obama fumbling over whether to support mubarak when the novice he is the dictator is he a close family friend of the clintons right and so on bahrain quite unintentional and the u.s. quietly looked the other way when saudi arabia was invited by the reigning

monarch's to crush that movement right there so it's. the u.s. had a definite hand in that the aftermath shows that the only real outcome of the arab spring is the strengthening of many regimes and a renewed assault i believe on christian orthodoxy across the middle east if you keep going with the questions you're dealing. with here and i do find any resemblance between yellow vests and drum voters are also deplorable. well there is a certain similarity because it's a protest movement basically a vote for trump was a vote of protest because if anyone who for the coverage of the election of the ninety percent of the media in europe and i don't know maybe eighty percent even more in the united states were clinton pro hillary of course it was a kind of protest when you just came to that voting booth and quietly slipped

in in favor of donald trump but i think that you know the nature of the movements is basically different because yellow vests they up against the principle that terrible alternatives are all principle when the government sets the rules of the game made sense that sets these rules every day like you have to wear a yellow vest if you drive a car don't eat too much but don't smoke cigarettes do as we tell you you know and pay pay pay you know pay for they pay for their for their media taken pains that we have various parts of the globe that no one ever votes for and basically why i think europe is going to see more and more protests well first europe is no longer a peaceful place it's no longer a peaceful continent as we were told when the european union the was in its initial stages of parity in security exactly europe has been fighting at least since ninety

and ninety nine or unstoppable. the wars in yugoslavia if gayness them in the iraq in libya everywhere you had europeans come in and dine there you know the salafi and the story and swear at them most idiotic ones because they have been dying in and gets them twice once with the soviet troops second barrier with the americans and people are little by little realizing that there's something wrong you know that mainstream of the european union is saying the nationalists started reaganites into wars no not the nationalists the mainstream believe the rolfs are saying don't you to iraq send in you to leave here tell you that we're leaving rating ukraine is there already a british agents helping strips in ukraine and the so-called nationalists are just saying let's stop all the wars let's make nato a defensive organization that's a part of the program but there are many back then split brussels back and stop

saying enough to die for something that we don't understand and still green and to our speed people who don't understand we in the age of deplorable snow absolutely and if you take a look at that you know the trumps the poor bulls on on one side and the yellow vests on the other they are. they have similar nearly identical causes right it's the the backlash against globalization and the triangle aided. right or left center right center left parties of power these elitist parties of power in europe and the united states is an owner of being disenfranchised disenfranchised they're forcing neo the economic aspects of neo liberalism down their throat on one side and ultra modern liberalism the social aspects down the other side and we saw different reactions in the us you actually had two reactions you had trumps the poor bulls and sanders progressives right the

sender's progressives were completely sidelined particularly when. despite the rigging there bernie sanders basically sold out and became part of the party quickly made machine right so it was expressed fully through the poor balls and truck managed to basically defeat his own party which was the real challenge more than defeating clinton rule the country in europe because it's a different political context you have the yellow vests which have spread from france into the netherlands belgium even even into the united kingdom and different expressions of it around the country and we see a quite definitively that you do have both all right and far left elements present among the yellow vests not as much coordination behind a political party and neither one of them are controlling soon so but it is a backlash against globalization and trey angular political technocratic elites

across the board i understand that there are yellow vests now in hong kong as well absolutely i think it's basically a global movement but the problem with the yellow vests was that when the mainstream press tried to attack them first the mainstream press didn't know where to hit them because they were not nationalists if they if they supported or if they support that the polish. injustice or if they supported odometer for germany or if they supported look better and you know it would be so much easier these guys on the nationalists. just radio those are going to be racist mentioned were caught flat footed by this movie that's not what they're for it's what they're against that unites the exactly and and the problem is that for four decades the european public has been scared by the rage of course the radicals on the left the radicals on the right fascism is going to boston or the right the left fascism possible

through the center through that main stream and this is that more stable relation which the european. starting to make and but they are left. one little bit left on this block earmarks are the elites reacting to it appropriately of course not because they're simply doubling down on failed policies failed politicians right you have the threat of mccraw on i mean the threat of le pen and the backlash against that and the collapse of the sumter socialist party after how long what do you do you have doubled down on the banks there micro right who delivers absolutely nothing and you have the yellow vest movement as a counter reaction to that all across the e.u. there is simply you there telling the people the elite are telling the people the technocratic european elites telling the people you just have to accept that we know better than you do that's not like going to sort of old fashioned communism well even when one way if you just think the way this is sold reflect at the end then you would be an answer to a rush and there is

a combination of two factors fighting the yellow vests in europe first the russians are somehow involved this is called they treat fortune and second method that they use with the old so if you oppose it what we say it means you have not yet rightly understood we will explain it to you again and again so that you know i think a liberal name and your ideology using more obtuse ok ok i'm going to jump in here guys i'm going to do a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on some real news state. you know twitter's got a lot of crazy things going up a lot of people you know. twitter rising and occasionally somebody pops up with something really insightful really interesting.

where is that country called russia no one has ever known one has ever had that country never even had about most. i had a great education a good job and

a family that loved me. i never had to worry about how i meet them where i would sleep. and i'm facing christmas alone out on the streets of london. for a life. you know to somebody who still give out food for the harvest. you don't really feel like me being in it. and then. the guy just came over to me saw me and gave you change this book.

will sell you. just us. on this one. theme i feel. i make you love my mother. thank. you i look so good when someone he can see has nothing to fight. for what's your. name for. the money also for them it's been my will. to feel.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter to us as over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth to be all for rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent from last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only boom but.

it's hard to imagine the decade. after the war a nazi don't tell was still active rich in the nineteen seventies crittle had as the chair of its board a man convicted of mass murder and slavery. the german company developed so the demise of a drug that was promoted as completely safe even during pregnancy it turned out to have terrible side effects what has happened to my baby anything. yeah she said he's just. minix a little mind victims have to this day received no compensation they never apologized for the suffering that not only want the money i want the revenge. welcome back across like we're all things were considered i'm peter lavelle to remind you we're discussing some real news.

ok gentlemen let's continue with our q. and a session questions that were sent in from by our viewers here let's change gears and let's talk about julian assange question what is happening with the asylum given to julian assange by ecuador according to american mainstream media sweden dropped its criminal charges against its own there is this implied that sweden will not extradite assange to the united states if true will the u.k. extra to extradite him to the united states for an american criminal trial mark but what never actually charge is exactly the charge he was wanted for questioning on those kind of completely b.s. . sexual assault charges right but you know both of the women in involved with that. a lot of of smoke there but it was all quietly dropped when american feminist organizations said it was b.s.

which so what but so i'm just still under. by the british regime in defiance of now multiple un committee statements that you know they have to release him in flagrant defiance of the vienna conventions with diplomacy and the asylum that's been granted the big problem has been that there's a change in government in ecuador and the new government is very keen on improving relations with the united states and they want to see a sausage out of there and i've kind of been slowly putting the screws on the him in terms of living standards there to try to make him go away the u.s. we've had revealed through through unofficial sources and now weeks of judicial documents that show that there is indeed you know. secret indictments that will probably be tried in secret court against the saudis and the british are just

waiting for the opportunity to get their hands on them i think it is inevitable at some point given the you know the current layout of you know relations between ecuador united states in the united kingdom and at this point i saw has been living in a fact of solitary confinement often without any communication for for going on close to two years now and you know playing devil's advocate here it might almost make sense for him to walk out and make himself a martyr and showing you know the true hypocrisy of the idea of press freedom in the united states and who process here claims him and mark mentioning these absolutely right is that if he is actually the united to the united states it is most likely under current circumstances he will be tried secretly and the public will not know about those proceedings what evidence was. presented to the judge where even his lawyer and may never have the right to see well.

whatever he said. he cracked up to be right oh well that that's the whole point that little he has a damn good record has a flawless record unlike city the new york times the washington post the b.b.c. it's there and he said there was a secret indictment to take me as soon as i get out of the embassy and the united states denied it for several years and what do we find out now there was such an invite indictment the recession indictment he is going to be arrested and weak to the united states almost immediately but the reason why so many people are basically just gusted by what's going on is because prices go to rule and people draw down our son's deserved price i think a noble peace prize or something for his activity just like edward snowden deserved it in two thousand it's really magazine gave the person of the year to journalist

but they were not easily a good journalist who claimed to have been murdered by the russian secret agents who basically lied to he respected the next day arkady bob and he is still a person of the year for the time magazine you know gloss through a lot to us know how to from the cease fire from the idea spiegel magazine he was several journalist crisis in the same years as all songe was seeking will be made there but it is shown us that this panel in our viewers we live in the other universe from what the mainstream media it was i learned quickly because there is a curious given to it they saw. involved of his articles he described to orphans who he invented whose parents died under the board. and know they leave in turkey you walk in there's garbage collectors and see uncle american dreams and these never existed probably being raised by the gay grown that everybody should have

thought of had he had plans to open. they chanted to call to get money from people for these children and to pocket that this was revealed by the german media so i mean it when if he is not a journalist even if he is a fiction writer like charles dickens i don't have very good fiction writer charles dickens would never have the indiscretion to invite queen victoria until the child called himself what it would twist and he would never never basically decide to open. a charity called for what it would be saying that what it was to was real and that your capital sent him money and that you kept a wall when are they counted to leave for a dollar what the waste from some dictator very good enough. could have an expression here a crisis of leadership political elites merged with global financial institution institutions people are left on their own will this situation take us to the left or to the right radicalisation protest because there were already started talking about this when we were discussing the relations you know between the yellow vests

and trumps the floor balls in the united states the question the answer to the question is not right or left the point is that by this centralization of center right center left around neo liberal economic and post-modern liberal social policies that. globalization then the forces that support it have made right or left the stink ssion nonexistent that the center which means in order for it to this tight hold gemini of these parties of power to be defeated that the distinctions between the ultra it on the far left on the fringes need to vanish and they need to realize that they have far more in common across the board against the sun or have any hope of the feeding it it's the right left political axis is dead stop thinking in those terms to move forward they created that with

globalization the opposition to it in. just slow in realizing it and in networking. credible forces. marshalling populations that can see the local ism sees the collapse of the left and right well absolutely i mean we see this situation when the social democrats in germany basically is support that they've got the party in power when germany are first used its troops abroad since nine hundred forty five they can you live in one thousand one thousand nine that's that was there and i think all the social democrats of germany that american liberals and democrats what that they know protesting against these these cultural promptly split in out of syria he's living in syria that never invited him defenseless against the international terrorists hold for our troops like i'm going home awful you know they're french socialists they were all for

taking. all means possible so this is there and all of their progressive left all the peace needs all the laughter all the peaceniks all the ride this is all over now you know you have their global ultra liberal radio ideology radio to deceive radio to use violence and everyone the polls in it on the left on the right and they're all decent people in this situation right left is totally twentieth century . stop stop thinking in those terms and start thinking about what you have in common with people who oppose this monic neo liberals and i think that's going to come. full desir is that we have three minutes left let's finish the last question here is it time for this is an interesting question is it time for the us to have a government of national unity and they do use your one party state like china yes it will be terrible if your political opponents control the one party state but all

of you have to do it then to make sure you control it and direct your politics towards that. a little convoluted at the end there they gave it a go but there already is a government of national unity it's called the deep say yes it is you know this i mean you see that whether the democrats or the republicans or you know in the u.k. the tory or new labor is elected you know foreign policy is almost entirely the same and even domestic policy you know it's fractions of percentages on this program or the other and largely distraction with with you know identity politics that comprises the left the rest of the political system and trump is this aberration that managed to slip through his own his own party one of the two parties because you know it's the end hubris of his opponents and you see the entirety of the political establishment right laughed for the state media deep state bureaucracy they're all working to either contain or bring trump down you

know for good and bad writing because not everything it does is good not everything he does is is bad but what he's doing is outside the rules of accepted behavior and then withdrawal from syria is a case in point clear because. going back to the question here a government of national unity it is this exceptional list foreign policy that is the glue that keeps this consensus to get as it was threatening to end two wars and you see the distinction between the elites the outrage across the media think tanks academia congress and everything meanwhile take a look at the reaction of normal people during that week that after all of this happened as as the outrage of trump daring to try to end two wars. his approval

rating actually instead of going down actually went up slightly so that's one of the reasons why people voted for him dealer gets the last word i think they're basically what is uniting the united states you know the belief in the russian meddling hand that they need to fight if you have democrats and republicans divide in congress. people don't tell you i'm going to carry it kind of united so the leaders of their of the soviet union there was there was a joke that we are going to have one party which will be a mixture of communist party c p and k.g.b. c.p.g. be so now in the united states if if they have one party state it's going to be the liberal party of national security and they will go off to the russian ambassador people talking to russian about so that they will go after internet companies in st petersburg which presumably have facebook accounts in the united states they will go after i don't know after julian assange sittin in there or an embassy in london this will be a mixture of liberal party and national security resistance no one culture one of.

those alone that no gentleman thank you for answering questions from our viewers that's all the time we have many thanks to my guests here in moscow and thanks to our viewers for watching us here at r.t. see you next time and remember. when our mind when the content of our mind he's changed there are easy outs to ration up the level of the physiology that is at the level of the brain the brain as a form of plasticity can rewire itself and not just the brain but also the rest of the body responds.

i've been saying the numbers mean they matter the u.s. is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten point zero or aren't happy each day. eighty five percent of global wealth belongs to the old bridge eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and it going rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial. but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need remember in one one business so you can afford to miss the one and only boom bust.

that is showing last years does he. she doesn't it with the people most of congress are not all what i mean. i can make it. through. really a local issue going from a week in which he has nothing to do by the fact. that you're in the home of the media. always he must name their baby one with a number on the nose and give him any balls of going on my way in the most play without difficulty.

u.s. state of alabama looks into whether a pro democratic party operation involving thousands of fake russian bots violated campaign laws and can influence the last year's election results. syrian forces entered the northern city of money at the request of civilians and kurds in the area amid fears of a turkish offensive. and france plans to expand its riot control arsenal despite a number of serious injuries among the yellow vest protesters caused by rubber bullets.
