i mean was cute was accused readings and sell you take us. looking up the state of the world today there is without a shadow of a doubt the need for troop philanthropies charity on a massive scale current estimates put the number of those without food in the small blue planet at about eleven point three percent or just over eight hundred million people most experts worth their salt will tell you that the driving force of world hunger is poverty and with approximately one point three billion people currently living in extreme poverty it almost half the world's population living on just two dollars and fifty cents a day is the problem it's not going anywhere anytime soon and is only going to get worse especially when u.s.

aid the federal aid and assistance arm of the united states government one of the richest and most charitable and powerful nations on the planet starts talking guns and special forces training rather than food and infrastructure yes a new article in debit acts on coverage that the u.s. global development lab based inside of usaid is exploring the idea of rapid expeditionary development teams or red teams the red team members would be specifically recruited and trained to deliver novel techniques practices and tools optimized to secure communities vulnerable to violent extremist radicalization and exploitation secure communities you say i hate oh but it doesn't end there the reporter went on to describe how red team development officers would be deployed as two person teams in place with nontraditional usa partners executing a mix of off pensive and deep sense of instability operations in extremis

conditions. traditional usaid partners in case you haven't guessed a nontraditional partner translates to the u.s. marine corps forces special operations command u.s. army special forces the state department bureau of international. our cottage the law enforcement the f.b.i. . because nothing my friends nothing says humanitarian aid like guns agents and special forces soldiers if you don't believe me just ask libya iraq and now it is wait. till it start watching the honks. the. real deal with. the part of. the day like you got. with. the.

welcome on the watch of the ark so i am tired robot world and i'm top of the wallace and we are once again once again left to wonder how do you know how small is never really seriously it's pretty certain so usaid which is not exactly us a id was created in one nine hundred sixty one by the way for the folks at home to help the united states sort of win the hearts and minds of citizens in poor countries supposedly through civil action economic a the humanitarian assistance all during the cold war but it's been accused a lot of time specifically for. being involved in regime change why inside of under the guise of helping so what they're hoping with is what

they call their office of transition and it's helping helping communities transitioning to democracy that basically libya. i mean basically us over and over like you know they they go in when deliver aid in a. regime change so what's interesting about this is that the red team the purpose it's being touted as a way to incorporate civilian humanitarian personnel into conflicts in order to help america and its allies when the once again that magical idea hearts and minds of local communities but i don't know how you can do that when the people bringing the aid are surrounded by special forces soldiers and they themselves potentially would be taking part in combat i mean that's what they're there for to take i mean if it senses and the sense of meaning. these soldiers these military people

or mercenaries whoever gets hired that's what's going to have been so one of the things of the hearts and minds is the report highlights how these red teams would be trained and what they would be authorized to do under this idea was conduct themselves in a as a force multiplier able to contribute a full suite of security skills as needed so they're saying that the training for these red team members for usaid would include survival evasion resistance escapes or c. or training negotiations cultural communication. e.m.t. wilderness care civil reconnaissance of weapons qualifications sources so i mean. it's a military person and this is the thing is people don't want to see that they don't want to see that when they're already afraid of the military they're already afraid of what aid is going to come and considering usaid has such a bad track record i don't think we're going guys with guns the best you know

mobile a lot of the. politicians have a hard time in this day and age their every word deed and vote just a click away for all of us and all some claim this is a bad thing and will make some people refrain from public service after this weekend i'm not sure that's a bad idea senator dianne feinstein whose personal wealth is estimated at over ninety million dollars was filmed recently responding to a group of children from the climate advocacy group the sunrise movement who are asking the senator to vote yes on the great new deal. scientists say that we have twelve years to turn this around well it's not because they're turned around it's ten years or whatever we can do it it's just the comparison to round in ten years are the faces of the people who are going to be living with us sometimes they go to be with people by people and also what's interesting about

this group is i've been doing this already. i know what i'm doing. and not to be outdone texas senator john cornyn tweeted the next little quote about the dangers of socialism from benito mussolini yes the same mostly who aside from being paid by britain's m i five to publish pro-war propaganda is also known for literally creating the fascist party and senator corker and thought repeating the mistakes of mussolini would be a good move and last but not least marco rubio was all a twitter this weekend using the social media platform to call for regime change in venezuela and the ousting of president nicolas maduro by posting a before and after image of a late libyan dictator moammar gadhafi who was famously murdered by rebels by the u.s. military and he also. before and after images of panamanian leader manuel noriega who was again probably most famous for making micio use errand boy in the eighty's

who was taken out of power during the one nine hundred eighty eight u.s. invasion so watchers remember it's probably not the sleeping bots that will get you it's this that wakings that. the most heavily armored the. it was like hit parade after his parade after his parade of the. without a doubt in my opinion the stupidity of u.s. political leaders from florida i mean feinstein talking down because. there is a long division with me and i got to tell you from my from my viewpoint it's worse than just a little clip i was well. it's like fifteen you know i hate to advocate politicians lying but like if you can say anything nice to a twelve year old who's trying to be involved in the political system instead you talk about in congress and to quote your resume to at least just lie and you say oh you know you are more going to hard on the twelve twelve years i mean america i

mean i don't know what's better i can tell you this isn't great because and i'm here now partly because a politician did something very similar to me when i was. in fourth grade so i would have been like eight years old we went to the constant state capital and i got to meet governor tommy thompson and at the time they were cutting funding in public schools for arts programs and music programs and you know they ask the kids to ask questions and i asked them and the way he responded to me was very similar he just patted me on the head. and smiled at walk away and never answered my question so you know i'm not entirely separate and apparently these kids and you know we'll get the marco is a little bit too but apparently these kids. cleansing has been around for so long she has her like auto defenders in the democratic no matter what she does she can't do wrong even like being mean to kids caitlin flanagan wrote in the atlantic that the children were actually jackbooted tots and aggrieved teenagers jackbooted and that the senior senator from california knows more about climate science and

american real politic than all the fifth graders in the world jack booted. their kids confronting their senator about politics and that jackbooted ok let me do this really quick ok what scares me and aside from jack booted tots is the concept that she sang about real politics just just to give you a quick one read also because it was a coin it was a term that was coined like mid nineteenth century germany the definition by mere according to miriam webster is politics based on practical material factors rather than theoretical or ethical objectives the person credited with bringing real politics to america by the way tax henry kissinger henry comes out of the gold war criminal who thought bombing cambodia in the stone age was diplomacy. and speaking out of the war criminals we all know marco rubio is ramping up to kind of throw his hat into the henry kissinger game with that horrible tweet that i'm still wondering

if twitter will magically take down like it would anyone else's but i guess marco gets a pass because after all we have to remember marco is a creep in the chicken hawks but he's a politician so i guess that's ok. last week we covered the live aid concert happening on the colombian side of the border with sadness wailing hosted by british billionaire richard branson the point of the event was according to him to get so that's why the military to open the border to outside interests and well we've covered quite a few angles. on this story we have been pointed out some pretty fishy facts about brands unfoldment in the venezuelan conflict until now and we have to thank the commenters of our youtube page for bringing it to our attention so let's look at why branson is suddenly as though interested in venice way first richard branson owns just about four hundred companies many of which do business in south america majoris ousting could open some big capitalists doors for branson as companies

second aside from chile and mexico virgin mobile latin america has a division in colombia in fact virgin service in colombia is one of the largest virgin mobile clients in all of latin america and has a very high rate of mobile phone usage it's expected that the vainest wayland market could be even larger third branson's fifteen percent of the new virgin mobile company which would move into this area and the profits pretty sizable for him alone however the fourth but i think most important thing to realize about richard branson is that he founded in helps run virgin atlantic airways what do they do they fly planes all around the world would have planes need gasoline in fact most airlines will tell you that rising fuel costs are what eat up most of their potential profits coincidentally do you know what heavy crude oil is used for making jet fuel and you know a vet has a lot of you're right heavy crude oil in addition version atlantic and branson

recently teamed up with a company called land's attack to create clean jets sealed by repurposing factory ways gases to make ethanol something that could happen and let us wait so hock watchers is a great philanthropist richard branson really trying to help the people of venezuela or is this about a big new market to test another in his endless stream of capitalist endeavors to save the world no matter what he won't be the first in line to take advantage of the chaos. that is going to bring. don't forget to let us know what your pick of the topics we've covered on facebook you tube and twitter they might show up here so your poll shows that r t v dot com coming up we present the second half of our all star in-depth battle on the politics impact an important was a black history month so stay tuned for watching the hawks.

we came here where did you work before you came here when you live. in many u.s. states capital punishment is still practiced convicted prisoners can spend he is waiting for execution but most of the time the victims' families they are very much in favor of the death penalty there are some people because of what they did have given up the right to live among us somebody even proven innocent yes on death row and how many more exonerations is it going to take before we as a society realize that this is not working and we actually do something about. i do think the numbers mean something they've matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime families each day. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be ultra rich eight

point six percent world market those thirty percent some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and when he rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars ai industrial park but don't let the numbers over. the only number you need to remember one one business show you know bored to miss the one and only boom box. thank. you. one of the great leaders of not only the civil rights movement but the labor movement as well a philip randolph once said quote freedom is never a given it is one. but just how is freedom won in today's world of fast moving

social media instant celebrity a multimillion dollar to a ship and is that freedom at all that is the question plaguing many civil rights activists is black our creativity once again dominates the american mainstream media despite the fact that all across the great american nation black. still no matter we tackle this question of more debate as we present the second half of our all star panel is watching the hawks looks of black history month with now freeman the writer and activist for black alliance for peace lady figaro a.d.d. the black trans writer artist and activist and author and curator mikael c. clarke take a listen. in the love this love that you're saying for black media translate into actual love for black people actually from black communities does that translate when the box office and people go back there and there was great. you know. that. i can tell you that is not the inner artist i can tell you people

come to the theater sometimes and they come and then watch a show and they cry and they say oh i'm watching the color purple and almost feel it was so strong not understanding it the reason why seeley was in the predicament that she was in was because the white people and that right now and there are women who are seemingly right now and that if we choose to divest from white supremacy we can actually have everyone live a better life so we go there we cry we have our feelings and then we leave the theater and you don't even think about the black family that lives down the street from you that's being harassed by the police just for being black so now. you know and i'll even go back to the conversation before about the bottom line to be impressive we have been hugely influential black people have been influential in culture since forever and people look at us to see dollar signs. talking about. all

these different cultural things that relate to us our culture our perspective is it's very profitable so you know the powers that be those who you know back. but back creatives in different ways they see dollar signs i do think it will be interesting to continue to see what it looks like for us to give ourselves our own cosigns outside of you know white down the media structures award shows and everything else like what it looks like for us to cosign our so and not wait for you know it's additionally white down the organization to say like oh now it's legit now you get an award because what we've learned is that there is traditional white media organizations whether it's movie studios that record labels what we also know as a woman i realize they're not there for women either they're for usually middle aged men who are sort of part of that power structure and so it's a lot we've got

a whole lot out from under that before it's it's actually open and takes that structure away so they can stand on that they can't do that without. having someone take it away. i mean i think. they. hit the nail on the head with new first minutes in the c word capitalism i mean because these are these are campus institutions and we're not going to i mean the to decide who will live in the world is dominated by the three you know oppressive forces patriarchy capitalism and white supremacy and as long as these things these are dictating the terms of so we're not really just struggling to get influence in the end your city or even create our own we're struggling to abolish these three things and that's the only way we're actually going to do the others and i don't see any other any other way to actually be able to tell our own story and have stories that a transformative an uplifting in and challenge institutions and what not if we

don't do it and in a struggle that resist capitalism white supremacy and patriarchy and builds the alternative at the same time you know i got i got to say that's our group completely are we seeing are. wrapping up soon but are we seeing you know the kind of when you see success in the black community right now off of capitalism things like that are you know are we seeing that put brought back into the community more now than we have in the past but you know about six as you mentioned cosigning things like that avoided are we seeing that success of these people coming back to the community saying ok i want to raise up the rest of the community not just you know make a lot of money myself whether it be through film or television movies or a big you're receiving that reimbursement all. i was doing. i mean i would have to say no i mean these things are because. unless it's challenging them three things you mentioned then is it progress we say i mean. is

it giving back if you have if you're not dawn's of this challenge in these pillars then how can you be saying you've given back. and so. things are even talked about as being productions or expressions of african or black culture and they're not they're not mean black panthers it was the whole example stanley all they created that you know and then. i mean the black writers and all and made all the money and then have those consume media is a very important interesting pervaiz a powerful tool black people walking around praising it proud of it and acted like all the millions of dollars billions of millions of dollars we made. but it's late american football white america sits back and they really do believe sometimes that they like i'm think of the you know i'm part of the quarterback and i'm part of that you're not part of that you didn't get out you didn't run you didn't want

to work and we weren't. there was that there was a time in the twenty's right when josephine baker made it we didn't make it because josephine baker report back into the community and we talked about muhammad i leave right mohamed ali has famous clip of him being like we gotta protect the black woman and i'm like i don't care about making no money of people willing for you right and then contrast that conversation to the conversation that steve harvey had with mo'nique recently and i and what steve harvey literally said is that you have to abandon integrity for money and so we're we're at a place and the reason why right people have that in the oh we've made it is because sometimes people just want to see themselves reflected and i think that that is absolutely ok and we need to hold celebrities and black billionaires and millionaires accountable for when they do not return to the community what we have we have helped them to. write and that is just the truth

also. i mean we haven't really touched on this at this particular juncture there is also when we talk about why. the perma see one thing that is that is a link to white supremacy as transphobia and homophobia pose was just snow then doubly c.p. awards so we do have our own awards and then we still an act of violence on our own right like so i mean child. like you look at them as i mean feminism did not. really have every single group we always planned that way to keep somebody out and i'm hoping our generation is and as we learn piece by piece like at least we have more information now and i think with that information we can sort of break those barriers because we know better and we spot it and we're calling it out war and that is it's like no matter what there's always. somebody tries to take away the power from someone else and at the end of the day that's

just that's not right and it's people like people everybody has to stand up and just say something and do something and be better finish up with this question i want to ask each of you is is one word in your mind. you know one word that you would inspire that's inspirational but you want people to kind of walk away from. their word one word or one phrase. that's really something inspirational that could really drive forward you know equality and push through issues and things like. liberation the british me. because i. was you know you took some good when used to race and also i was thinking of something else to say in terms of our cultural and not just the world is these things in the historical examples you gave there was a time when the liberation struggle what we did was tied to you know what people

did in terms of performers in performing arts and different things and just d. the of those things now is why we're seeing a difference you know and so yeah. it liberation and the plan of making sure those things are part of whatever we do liberation i suppose liberation if only i would also say i think community is huge knowing that we can do so many things amongst ourselves by continuing to talk to each other and to stay involved support each other in different ways and light to account for whatever our individual areas of weakness might be sort of want to definitely think go through for coming on with absolutely fantastic i hope to have i hope to continue this conversation before we have all three of you back either together individually or whatever way we care thank you so much thank so much you crowd talking about. west virginia born mathematician catherine johnson is personally responsible for excess in the world of spent space exploration more than many who are much more broadly revered johnson
