tv Watching the Hawks RT February 13, 2019 12:30pm-1:00pm EST
12:30 pm
seriously pentagon is about claiming civilian casualties while bombing the hell out of poor people in foreign lands as we start watching. the play of. the day like you that i got. with. the. welcome one and all to watching the hawks i am tired robot turbo and sounds out of the way and i have never in my life thought that war would say have served for civilians but i'm sure if it was shocking to see this story because i i legitimately had in my mind assumed clearly stupidly that the united states military how do you policy
12:31 pm
a military what policy on civilian deaths whatever that policy i didn't think the policy was grave or by being followed but the idea that they just sort of man yeah they've never really looked in there with in contemporary history the way that they are now with this with this kind of report it was classified for a long time and i think they did it back last spring right almost a year usually takes about that long period you know and now finally it's coming forward yeah and just to suggest security's d.m.u. are monte and i had went over the report and found. a few pas few positive and negative takeaways the report calls for the positives being that the report calls for proactively seeking additional sources of information when assessing and incorporating civilian casualties and battle damage reports which simply means will be better pointing out which bodies are civilians or which bodies are enemy combatants or whatever but the good thing is on the numbers and you can't
12:32 pm
you can't you know lie about that so the report calls for the creation of a standard flexible protocols for the call responding to known cases of civilian casualties and acknowledging that the range of opinions available includes and extends beyond. a lot of other folks are talking about a condolence payments apologies explanations in kind offer a way from say the iraq war and afghanistan i think getting in there and really going through stuff and clearing people off of no fly lists and getting them off of international worldwide terrorist databases just because. you know just because we're bombing that's what i'm going to want to hear that we can't remember and the name gets caught out so those are the positives oh. but there's also tragically a long long list of negatives many of the findings are entirely written back to detail needed for public you know you ation of these especially some of the submit
12:33 pm
significant claims such as the presence of blood you know clear commander's intent related disability and didn't kill this many people you know on x. so they're going to know what he did when he was going to do was going to do it and chose to do it and it's not like not saying you know they're out they're gone they're all the civilian there's too few recommendations for ways to prove improve communications between the military and outside sources so even though they claim like oh we need to use more outside sources they don't actually recommend how they're going to do that that is why we are more interested in our week of the of although we don't know who we're going to get that information from the most interesting. the report contains almost no analysis of the demos and does not mean it has in syria other places but no one else is a big data center does not include any leading practices or lessons learned from any theatre of war in the last seventeen years so i don't really it's kind of like hey we do this bad thing here things we can kind of do. yeah i don't think it's super great people are optimistic but one last thing our sarah morgan our
12:34 pm
washington director at the human rights watch called the report a mixed bag she also said telling washington quote it's significant they're pursuing a larger policy for the pentagon but the gaps in there in the sanitized findings make it questionable and they can really produce something meaningful meaningful so . we'll see. soon enough. safety expert eleanor everett once said safety is not a gadget but a state of mind but in in some chicago public schools a gadget seems to be their state of mind when it comes to safety the gadget in question is a social media monitoring software that scans and evaluates the social media posts and students when a perceived threat is made students are called in to discuss the post and parents are contacted to determine if a student has access to weapons at home the software is part of a program called connect and redirect to respect designed by the university of chicago crime lab and funded since two thousand and fourteen by the comprehensive
12:35 pm
school safety initiative well developing the program one dean of students told researchers quote our most common conflict in the building starts off with social media then from there because students will bring it into the building then it turns into a verbal conflict here then it turns into a physical conflict the majority of this stuff that we've been dealing with as a result of social media and how students respond to it now an investigation or event to get a report from aaron leibowitz for pro publica illinois answer carpet w. be easy chicago reveals that neither parents nor students were informed of the initiative the program seems to have focused on perceived gang activity and there is concern that because of police involvement in the program children's names may end up on the chicago police department's increasingly questionable gang database of the twenty four schools monitored sixteen a majority black student body and five majority hispanic student body predominately white schools in the area were left out of desmond patton of the columbia
12:36 pm
university school of social work though it's also in times when we talk about threats and violence and trauma we're really speaking about black and brown communities so we are not examining in on the young people at jones college prep for walter payton or northside so hawk watchers are these kinds of. programs making schools safer or are they further dividing the future of america into the haves and the have not. that is a great question and that's also one of those things were i don't know how many that checked off like more sharks' of loaded gun issues i mean not only do you have like ok we're going to surveil people social media on and off campus you know out of the rank and of all the schools you know but then you have the racial element you brought up of whom there actually is social media would get it's not large universal it is going to pick up these few schools that predominantly have more you know brown skinned folks than white skinned folks and things that are there right and then the checks off the school to prison pipeline to graduate in chicago are
12:37 pm
good at it there are several you that have that part with the kids who are all under it but just get the mauling in the how to deal with bullies or any other checklist that i'm thinking of right now there's lots of money wasted oh. so the chicago school district funded the program was about two point two million dollars in grants that came from the u.s. department of justice. and that was part of their comprehensive school safety edition of this is what happened so after sandy. you had a lot of people pushing to get something in the school so of course they were talking about research and that's where these things came and it wasn't supposed to be used for anything like equipment unless it had to do with research and so i'm not sure if this fits into that category but that initiative was axed so one of the things that's interesting is that it included two analysts and the software so you had to analysts who were either going through and physically going
12:38 pm
by hand through through certain students recommended and then recommending interventions go through their social media or they use keyword searches to identify certain things and to me that's where it came out when you looked at it keyword searches were things like you know crips and. at sort of rising exactly but it was definitely gang related are you in a gang and that was a lot of the questions that were asked are you in a gang tell me who you know who's in a gang it's interesting because you also look at like the police involvement in this kind of thing out of four hundred incident reports police were brought in at least eighty seven times seven hundred c.p.s. students were called into interventions by the schools over there social media seven hundred you know look i understand that like you know parents are concerned you know and you don't want kids you want to try to catch a bad kid doing something bad of the school but already does it or she does it or you want to you know but this to me just sounds like it doesn't sound like that's really what's being practiced now sounds like no as does the kids interacting with
12:39 pm
the police or writing an intelligence operation thank you thank you that's what you're doing and here's the thing that bothers me the most i'm not a parent probably because if i was i want to like lost my mind if my kid if this happened so rebecca gladden senior staff attorney for the a.c.l.u. in illinois talked a little bit about. parents' rights in this somewhat she said if you're going to monitor there needs to be a notice to the students and the parents about what sites are being monitored how they're being monitored and what they're doing with all of that information and that's again we have said this sense now and we're setting for all of this you know these are kids if we can't protect their information for their future. then what are we even what do we do what exactly you're right on point plus isn't this kind of a form of conditioning yes hey kids guess what we're conditioning you know that the authorities whether they are institutions whether they're new schools or whatever
12:40 pm
they're always going to be looking at everything that you do on line you have no rights on line you have no right to free speech i want to go to school every day i'm going to be everyone is going to be poring over an interesting story all right jeff as we go to break court watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered a baseball can put. and you to see our poll shows that r t v dot com coming up we've got some shocking and not so shocking news out of the senate intelligence committee investigation into all things russia gay and daniel mcadams of the ron paul institute will be joining us to discuss you do not want to miss this trust me state through the water will.
12:41 pm
happen and i'm on the phone and i use to my found a way to go through a food. bank itself mukti that i. was in this way got to talk so hard not to think i know how they decide to see the work that i want and i'm pleased so much and i think. this is the only thing that we do is music because everybody fights his way. through and you can be found this bill frist woody allen you have a whole movie about a lot of. what i think is this is the fund that is a constant.
12:42 pm
what holds if you should. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to express. yourself want to be rich. that you'd like to be that's what the folks really think you get. interested always at the water's edge. there should. still be a. student that's been mugged for most given depends on both with each other that they do with. one up at a meeting they. were sort of my limit was speculation to me
12:43 pm
or the jamie has a hunk of those. now at that but the good lesson but because he lied i've known him for that matter. see let him make it what we have it would be a mean meldrew have been floating closer gave up because of me it's because he is to see you so when i would. be. buried amongst all of the mainstream talk of bipartisan border walls grammy award c.n.n. billionaire town halls was the incredible admission that after two years two
12:44 pm
hundred interviews and three hundred thousand documents the senate. committee has come to the conclusion that when it comes to russia trump in the twentieth sixteen presidential election there was indeed a. wait for no collusion now the senate intelligence committee investigation led by republican chair richard burr and ranking democrat mark warner into the great russia great conspiracy has according to both republicans and democrats on the committee have produced no evidence of her told c.b.s. news last week that quote if we were right or report based upon the facts that we have and we don't have anything that would suggest if there was collusion by the tram campaign and russia joining us today to discuss this latest and possibly biggest development to date in all things russia is the executive director of the ron paul institute for peace and prosperity daniel mcadams thank you so much for joining us. thanks to you i got to say it's nice to have you back on it's been
12:45 pm
a while so i got i got to ask you so after two years of all the noise the accusations the counter accusations the rachel maddow meltdowns are you at all surprised that the senate intelligence committee has come forward and said they found no evidence of collusion. well this is going to be one of the greatest conspiracy theories in history can you imagine with future generations will say when they look back on these two years everyone investigating everyone it's absolutely insane you know what's interesting about the senate intelligence committee's report is that it was bipartisan you know the house committee shift did not participate in it but in the senate side it was a bipartisan effort they all looked at the documents they all came to their conclusions all we saw chairman byrd say that there is no collusion i still don't know whether senator warner is not going to have to be dragged out in a straight jacket hitting and screaming because i think he told c.n.n.
12:46 pm
a little while ago that well you know there might be still a few people for us to interview so who knows but i think the. really the sun has set on this conspiracy theory now n.b.c. news reports that there was one anonymous democrat on the senate committee that sort of downplayed the finding this saying quote we were never going to find a contract signed in blood saying hey vlad we're going to collude i don't know why that would be in any way but to have one of the many things about this that doesn't make sense but daniel isn't that essentially what all of the proponents of russia have been hyping and promising their followers since it began they've built this entire excuse me if i'm irritated by it but as someone who has sort of had to deal with the blowback of that isn't you know they've built an entire political industry around russia so what kind of backlash politically could we see if at the end of the day there's really no actual russia. and after every asinine
12:47 pm
revelation you hear to talk to talk you know the shoe is going to drop it's going to happen tomorrow and of course nothing did happen tomorrow so what will be what will come out of that you know what what is left behind after this investigation and it's a good question so we get to sweep everything clean course millions of dollars were spent that doesn't mean anything washington creates that out of thin air but what do you have you've created a whole system of surveillance a whole system of censorship of demonization of platforming of alternative independent media voices that's gone now you've created a situation where the atlantic council funded by nato funded by the us government funded by weapons manufacturers are now going on in telling what's fake news and what is real news on social networks have created this kind of orwellian state and that can't be uncreated just like if you create the patriot act you can't put the genie of surveillance of american citizens back into the bottle that's what you have what it would what should we see what we should see the apology to places like
12:48 pm
r.t. and have them taken off the federalists you know so we went a little crazy here. but we're not going to be happy to see that happen because they never really do say their story when they've done things like this no they don't you're exactly right and the thing that really kind of spooks me about all this is that you do have this like you know you go on twitter you go on the social media things of all the you know hashtag resistance of all that there's this army of people out there that were like salivating they had to explain who are these laws and if you have the senate and then let's say mueller doesn't really have anything down the line the kind of smoking gun that they were teased with you got a lot of disappointed people and disappointed people can be very dangerous politically early on in this fiasco many on both the right and left kind of pointed to the senate's investigation as being the more serious and nonpartisan investigation compared to you know the three ring circus of adam ship and david nunes in the house do you think this conclusion by the senate you know can we hope
12:49 pm
that it is that next step to kind of end this new horrible version of mccarthyism that we're seeing. i wonder what will happen you know the senate i think as you rightly point out was considered a more objective investigation that's really honestly because most of the republican senators hate their own president their own party which is kind of an interesting situation so in that sense you could consider it to be to be more objective but the question is now what will they say and i went back and looked at mark warner's tweets over the last year over this past year just twenty nineteen and you know i did it so you didn't have to but it's interesting because he was a rabid tweeter about russia gate he was the number one guy in fact he was fed information this came out just at the end of twenty eighteen judicial watch came out with information that victoria nuland the assistant secretary of state for european affairs was feeding info at the end of the. obama administration to mark
12:50 pm
warner classified information remember victoria nuland is has a little bit of experience in coups so she was involved in that in of course in the ukrainian coup as well feeding this information to warner but in twenty nineteen i didn't see a single russian collusion tweet from warners so i think he kind of saw the writing on the wall and has been depressed for a while and he's kind of shut his mouth i think getting ready for the conclusions you know we have been so distracted by this for the last two to some twenty six to aim and i'm sure it's not tragically i'm sure it's not going to go away despite all these findings but we did want to ask you you know as someone who you know definitely looks outside the two party system you know and looks for what are the things that we've missed during all of this hollow below one of the major things that have happened to us citizens that we should have been talking about that we haven't been because everyone's been focused every network everyone has been so focused on russia. but what's annoying is that the opposition party to president
12:51 pm
trump has been completely brain dead these two years they've looked for a magic pill to get this mean orange guy out of office. i've been sitting down and looking at the things that he's done looking at this policies looking at people like. coming back engineering the coup in venezuela like the good old days of the eighty's in the desk was there forget all this stuff a lot of all that totally for it so they have been so lazy the last two years there hasn't been any opposition to some of the truly terrible things that president trump is doing we've missed two years where's the peace coalition there's a great great points down great points i mean i think. i'm happy i'm sad i'm happy by these revelations because i'm one hand i'm like i knew this was coming i knew that there wasn't going to be what they wanted it to be but on the other hand you're right look at all these things we've missed look at where we're at with the censoring of online and all this kind of thing yeah and i think you know it
12:52 pm
from the beginning i mean i think it's told you anything keep your blood so contracted with. apparently it's sort of amazing because we are you know being gentle acts are a little bit older and i think our generations have seen this a lot easier than others because we watched it happen with the clintons we watched a lot of wasted time over politics and then i think we also watched you know the end of the cold war and kind of we see we know what we've read the books we've seen the website so i want to thank you so much daniel the executive director of the ron paul institute for peace and prosperity thanks for joining us thanks scott. invasive technology and invasive subjugation of crossed paths once again hawk watchers this time in the country of saudi arabia three government sponsored website and application that allows saudis to try and control the waters of saudi women yeah it was rightfully guarding intense criticism but it's not just the
