which translates for us non arms dealers as a partial payment that will go to lockheed martin and prevent major delays in production if the new missile defense system of the new missile defense system in saudi arabia. because nothing my friends nothing is higher on the wants and needs of u.s. taxpayers than time production of a saudi arabia missile system so why are u.s. citizens forking over nine hundred forty six million dollars to lockheed martin us . well according to whitney web overman press news that may have something to do with the competition in the marketplace web writes one likely explanation for the pentagon's willingness to pay such a significant amount to subsidize the saudi bad system is the fact that the saudi government had intended to purchase the cheaper and more effective russian made us four hundred instead of the pad. welcome to the world of international arms deals where taxpayers subsidize not only the merchants of death but their warmongering

clients as well now let's start watching the hawks. were to. get the. real deal. out of it. like you know that i got. was that we. would. be. welcome on the watching the hawks i am a robot and on top of the wall and boy oh boy oh boy oh boy. another massive amount of money but not even for our own defense weapons a subsidizing somebody else's weapons of mass destruction. while their defense nest so they're not actually you know they're supposed to shoot other missiles down so it's an offense and defense the defense of. yeah you know it's

a billion dollars of taxpayer money i thought we had a wall to pay for the. you know it's interesting because this fifteen billion defense system is it's part of an actual the bigger we talked about before as part of the bigger hundred ten billion dollar arms package the trump administration to go she had with the saudi arabian can give all the way back in two thousand and seventeen and then that came under fire as well during the jamal khashoggi killing in the war in yemen and then like all of this it's all kind of part about. system that has been kickstarted for a long time even before trumka. and then what exactly are we are helping them by or lining their either where we're subsidizing you know like there's any way to put it we're subsidizing it. so that's forty four terminal high altitude area defense or has said that launchers also part of the. work

will be replacing a preparing their curtain obsolete saudi missile defense infrastructure so they'll have to sort of build their system for this new infrastructure and then what it does is the contract allows lockheed to pay for materials tooling and their development. we're subsidizing we're putting these deals together it's fairly uncertain to me and unclear it's immediately so as has been why we are why we are paying. for all of this from a country that has you know oil and lots of rich people apparently you know that is one of those silly women where the bread thing the money and they don't have women getting on the way so i'm not really sure what it is you know that well that's the brilliant observation that you have because i mean it's true it's like one of the richest countries in the gulf there's no reason for them to do they want to be a luxury tourism spot but they can't figure out their own missile defense got to make us pay for their missile defenses i mean absolutely we don't cover everything

in your home. gold and throw people off of buildings for being ok and that's and that's the thing that like really gets under my skin but guess what we're not the only ones who subsidize saudi arabia as military from time to time back in february the australian government faced heavy criticism from its citizens over revelations that electro optics systems export of five hundred remote weapons to saudi arabia they could be used in their war in yemen electro optics systems would receive about thirty six million in government subsidies from the australian governments one of the only ones or our brothers in arms in australia are doing the same thing but all the money flows right to the lockheed martin's or the electro optics systems and then cuts down the bill but they would be charging you know saudi arabia in this case it's really it makes no logical sense when you come to think about it but you have a day no i mean it's a lot of money for a lot you know of course it's there they have to be worried about iran and. the great threat you know where we were building these very expensive impact these very

big missile defense things in places like saudi arabia and israel why don't we have a missile defense i mean a feel like you know if the russians and the north koreans and everyone are pointing missiles at us why will we have one here. maybe we should spend that money in protecting our own sky borders you know we spend the most on arms next to everybody else we also export the more storms more than everybody else so it's rather interesting that we don't do anything here at home like the great observation. under a seal which displays that the u.s. and mexican flags as a report that seems to ignore the freedom of the press the right to protest million other things there were port titled san diego sector foreign operations branch migrant caravan fiscal year twenty nine thousand suspected organizers coordinators instigators and media it was uncovered by the san diego and b.c. affiliate n.b.c. seven investigates it consists of slides showing pictures of people who are to. of

what they call extra scrutiny when crossing the u.s. mexican border of the fifty nine people photographed in the list forty of them are u.s. citizens and of the forty three people were alerts for the extra scrutiny twenty eight of them were americans and who were these scary people threatening the del it security delicate security of our great southern border immigration attorneys human rights activists journalists photojournalists and even social media influencers that were crossing the border some journalist told n.b.c. seven that they quote they felt they had become targets of intense inspections and scrutiny by border officials who were the real threats in the eyes of ice and homeland security because for now it seems that the truth is what they think is lurking around every corner about to get them. this is incredible here we go again home colin security rather than you know. keeping. so the threat is the very people that would be oh i don't know fighting for for the rights of those

crossing the border i mean lawyers are officers of the court and that's true on either side of the border they're an officer of the court they're right up there with they're doing a job that our entire government legal system is set up they didn't as an officer of the court what that means is they represent law and order and all of these things that we say we want and what they're doing of stopping these people because they're helping people get through the process which i thought is the point you know right why would you not want people there helping move the process along even if you don't want people shouldn't be there they're going to go back quicker but they're going to get through the process quicker that is either amazing for you and you know it's also interesting is in addition to the internal be it just e-mail that you mentioned earlier the send you go for showed the san diego special in charge in charge david shaw instructing quote all agents are asked to question source of information regarding the migrants the curve and its leaders of any criminal work or toll related actions concerning the migrants the migrants or the

karen. so it's going to you're confidential informants going out to all these things and saying who's on the ground there has to be a mess who are the agitators i want happened was the dia just tried to kind of make this idea that they were just looking for any information on this new year's day new year's eve situation that happened with a number of migrants throwing bottles that police or something and then at the end of the day i'm like you're still investigating the bottles being thrown maybe maybe prioritize maybe prioritize the little bit when you have people literally dying at the border. yes so some attorneys like you said people have literally gotten stuck there on one side of the border the other two members of the california nonprofit. which does work helping people in the not coming in on the other side that don't understand the mexican legal system their organization helps people do that what they it's

a by may by national direct legal services organizations there in tijuana and two of their people one of their refugee director was listed nicole ramos was listed as having an alert placed on her meaning just to go that they also had a dossier on her that how to her mother's name her card of car she drove all this information because in general what they're doing is going through and looking for any with it may be considered an agitator that may be considered outsiders in their point of view that they shouldn't be there either way there are people who spent thirteen hours on the ground just being stuck on one side of the border another to get processed or photo journalists who went and were told will you were there taking pictures the day this event happened and so and so you give us information that we think is useful you're not allowed in people are being sent back to the u.s. not allowed into mexico not allowed into the united states. so that goes directly against the ideals of our constitution and freedom of the pros. goes agree

with you but you said you know. agents of the court not being allowed to read i don't know leaders of the care of leaders i think in my. refuges maybe about the leader of the caravan but i don't think we're going to find those they wanted to be this conspiracy that it was all due just to brew in america . i don't think that's the deal i don't think that's the issue and i think the issue is learn a little bit of humanity that america was based that is supposed to be at the heart of our values and i think we've lost that. until we are as we go to break lock watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics of government facebook and twitter and see our poll shows that are coming up are to. brings us the latest on the controversy surrounding the regime change upwards of others and then we look at the courage of chelsea manning who is once again back our stay to.

break said. what politicians do something to do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and you. want to reach. out to the right person this is what the three of the people are. interested always in the water using.

show seemed wrong when all. just don't hold. any belief yet to shake out disdain and become educated and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. and. both they. still think i don't want to. give it up because a couple of. us any e.g. got me. focused there would be ok sunny. more gentle for

a while for you. to go to the stable for fun you get on fish. out of fear of looking a. little bit of a nightly basis. from the burning of medical aid to the blame for electrical blackouts the official narrative surrounding pushing for regime change in the venezuela has been on overdrive but sometimes the holes in that official narrative are just too big to hide even for the new york times on sunday the new york times surprisingly reported

that despite the u.s. state department claims that venezuelan president nicolas maduro ordered the recent burning of a convoy of medicine and humanitarian aid following the recent live aid venezuela concert it now appears that after reviewing footage from the incident that quote the opposition itself not mr dorismond appears to have set the cargo alight accidentally not a molotov cocktail thrown by an anti-government protests or was the most likely trigger for the blitz the times even went on to question if there was any medicine in the aid trucks to begin with reporting that quote the united states agency for international development the principal supplier of the aid at the bridge did not list medicine among its donations yes the actual new york times who never met a u. us backed regime change they didn't like is reported is joining us now to update us on the latest taking place in venezuela's r.t. america sarah month of thank you so much for joining you told me it was saturday going on there and lots of different stories i don't know left and right so so one

of the main things to look at is the military. that remains there that didn't burn up the actual aid that wasn't medical supplies or maybe maybe not that's not made it into venezuela so what has actually happened to that well it looks like it's just setting up those borders there since february fourth so this is over a month ago already more than one hundred ninety five million dollars have been sent in government aid and this includes food medicine hygiene kits and other equipment now this has not made it like you said into it when asked whether now pompei i spoke at the state department just moments ago and let's take a listen to what he said. we always wish things could go faster but i'm very confident that the. the tide is moving in the direction of the venezuelan people and will continue to do so it doesn't take that it doesn't take much for you to see what's really going on there. so he went on and said that the humanitarian crisis is increasing by the hour they're headed in the right direction and they're going

to keep rolling with what what they're doing and another another thing first there were these issues the concert they the burdick of the year and all of those but there was another issue there and that's the power outage as to what exactly is going on so on thursday there was a massive power outage now these parties are pretty common in venezuela however there haven't been as many or the outages not been as massive as the one that just happened on thursday by saturday about seventy percent had been of the power had been restored but on saturday there was another power outage which cut off again those same people from power by little blames the u.s. was responsible for this he claims the u.s. was responsible for this and called them cyber attacks now he went on and called it a macabre strategy that's aiming to turn people against each other but he said it will fail let's listen to what he said. from a very hear mark over the macabre strategy of this attack on the electric grid is to plunge our people into despair and to pit venezuelans against one another this

will not happen we truly have a hard level of consciousness patience awareness and solidarity among our citizens who have shown impressive feats of cooperation is. now a self-proclaimed president and our president he says that he doesn't blame the u.s. he says that it's due to venezuela's power outages that their power lines have not been maintained that the maintenance has not been clear and has not been done on a regular basis like it should be and he actually called for the national assembly to call for a to declare a national emergency and this is what he said today. indeed a big big dummy i understand perfectly the desperation all of us here are having today and that is why we are requesting the chamber the approval of this national state of emergency in venezuela to create one of the emergency tragedy catastrophe that venezuela is living today. so when i was in darkness and in more ways than one million figure that. the u.s.

is go also claiming that there's been growing support for the opposition for. more countries acknowledging his kind of look our mouths i believe the president self-proclaimed status. are more countries jumping on the bandwagon not since last week they continue to say that it's been growing but there are over fifty countries who have a knowledge. claimed interim president is the only legitimate president now china and russia continue to support mother would go on those are the two countries that the u.s. is trying to convince and saying that they want to deliver they want us what they want latin american allies of the u.s. to deliver a message to china and to beijing and tell them that they are now ruining their reputation in the western hemisphere now u.s. envoy to venezuela elliott abrams did say that he had spoken to russian representatives and that they're not happy with what mother was doing that they've tried giving him advice but that he's not taking it however they want to respect

sovereignty they don't want any interference he says abrams said that he has not yet spoken to chinese officials but that's on the plan next. over venezuela what. seems like a lot of people thousands of miles away from venezuela are the ones making the decisions about where they store and for that makes me sad because i feel like everybody is talking about the people and i feel like they're not the ones being politicized well you know it was their lives and the people of venezuela she said have the right and have that power to do that for themselves as opposed to russia china and the united states of their own who. thank you so much and see what you're going to serve on just. whistleblower chelsea manning has been imprisoned by the united states government government once again the hawk watchers on friday after refusing to testify before a grand jury regarding her disclosures of u.s. war crimes in afghanistan and iraq manning was found in contempt of court arrested

and jailed in a statement posted on twitter after the after the arrest manning said she is standing up against the secrecy of the u.s. grand jury system and refuses to comply with the subpoena for her testimony or to america's strategic chávez as the story. chelsea manning is being held at a virginia jail after refusing to testify in front of the grand jury was investigating wiki leaks founder julian assange but now her attorney saying they will file an appeal for her release judge hilton did find her in contempt in open court well who is certainly a typical outcome for this kind of proceeding as everybody knows chelsea has tremendous courage our primary concern at this point is her how well she is confined manning anti-secrecy activist and former us army intelligence whistleblower has said that she objects to the secrecy of the grand jury process and that she has already revealed everything she knows i have a history of having to deal with secrecy and

a lot of these secret proceedings they tend to favor the government they tend to allow things you know various goings on to happen so i am i am in general opposition of that kind of of this kind of proceeding taking place believe in a grand jury process i don't believe in the city the secrecy of this i have no problem explaining what happened and i've done it before why we should go through this in a secret closed hearing with only the prosecutor no lawyer manning was originally sentenced to thirty five years in prison for leaking a trove of military intelligence records to which. her sentence was commuted by president barack obama in two thousand and seventeen after she served seven years behind bars it has been my view that given she. went to trial. that. due process was carried out that she took responsibility for her crime now she's back in jail after

a federal judge found her in contempt of court for refusing to answer questions before secret grand jury the troubled ministration wants to use chelsea manning to get julian a songe by forcing her to say that a songe participated or was part of the effort to steal these documents rather than just functioning as a publisher so that's why they're putting pressure on chelsea manning who has been with incredible courage refused to play this game and gone to jail no man is attorneys are asking that she be ordered to home confinement instead of jail because of recent health complications she faces but the judge said she will remain jailed until she either testifies or the grand jury concludes its investigation but until then u.s. marshals will handle her health reporting in new york turn of the charges are to. visit i am really tired of sitting in those chair and saying her face behind me and

having to report again that she is in jail or she is going for another it bothers me on such a level that we'd rather put. telsey men in jail for not being part of a super secret and covered. you know. it's very unsettled it's very unsettling and it does and it's like she said actually and one of her quote the grand jury process mired in secrecy is troubling the proceedings take place behind closed doors without a judge or a defense attorney which makes them susceptible to be yours and quite frankly i don't understand why any of this needs to be happening behind closed doors if this is about what you know whether or not this whole wiki leaks thing this is not a national security issue we already know what happened chelsea she admitted what she did she did it for a good cause she uncovered a thing called grimes i know just silly. yeah is that

chelsea manning probably the bull's bravest person in the world and this is twice in a row that she's done this. you know that's when you have someone who actually has their moral center that has their ethics and morals and they actually do have their core values in the right place so that's when you know because it's someone who is if she was if she was just if it all just been this whole like oh yeah wiki leaks got me to do it i don't believe she went to god for all this should have rolled over on wiki leaks a long time ago because you know. there's been a lot of reactions to this obviously from a lot of different journalists but what is what is the good interesting is the lack of coverage that it's gotten from a lot of particular mainstream out would some mainstream journalists journalist michael tracey actually observed him a tweet if a pundit and complains that trump something mean tweets about cable news anchors is an existential threat to press freedom but then says nothing about chelsea manning being reamed carson rated she's one of the most important journalistic sources in u.s. history you know they were frauds pretty harsh words on journalists who don't recognize

her and it was the last of you saw a c.n.n. journalist or somebody really putting their comfort on the line comedians are being made to feel uncomfortable for what they say about the president or people in congress you know you've got people left and right i think those who really don't realize what delicate snowflakes they are and the very valid concerned about your shall see mannings of the world in that briefing i don't. i think there's probably a lot to be learned from those who don't go into the muck in the mire and those who are dragged into it. and everybody should definitely a page or chelsea moment when you want to look up courage or summers go back to jail. for the first time and while standing up for their beliefs i think it's pretty noble. travelling faster than the speed of sound is fascinating to think about but quite difficult to actually measure allies until now
