waiting for his fate to be decided and we look at the media. regarding the. first as a hero then. cry foul after a palestinian activist is denied entry to the u.s. he spoke. about his experience. no. national human rights defenders. a new report claims an invasion is being discussed

behind closed doors by high ranking american politicians. is now talking about military options so this could be done under the auspices of some kind of humanitarian intervention to save venezuelans. drive ahead. with me welcome to the program wiki leaks founder julian assange is now in prison waiting for his fate to be decided at an extradition hearing in may one is talented as a hero by much of the media outlets now appear to have turned on him painting him as

a villain looks at what's behind his fall from grace. you want to see just how radically the media you turned on a songe from champion of the press to a leper an outcast all you need to do is watch saturday night live it's comedy but boy does it hit home. thanks to wiki leaks you can see how corrupt governments operate in the shadows and then lie to those who elect them thanks to facebook you can finally figure out which sex and the city character you are i've attacked the u.s. military. because i'm an agricultural james bond supervillain and i'm one step away from destroying the god. because reality is entirely less funny what our songes faced a tidal wave of smear really ugly stuff a little over a decade ago the us military declared war on wiki leaks drop

a plan which was actually need a plan to discredit it and terrorize whistleblowers and it looks like they're winning. wiki leaks uses trust as a center of gravity by assuring insiders leakers and whistle blows who pass information to wiki leaks personnel or who post information to the website that they will remain anonymous the identification exposure terminations employment criminal prosecution legal action against current or former insider is leakers or whistleblowers could potentially damage or destroy this center of gravity and deter others from considering similar actions from using the wiki leaks website back then at the turn of the decade as sanj was a hero of the pundits cheered his leaks exposing bush era war crimes exposing the elites corporations politicians how they loved him for it was outstanding

journalism their words he was given on or after on or including the economist's new media award back then we get leaks was news wiki leaks is an online news organization that specializes in publishing documents alleging government and corporate misconduct we invited judy in a song editor in chief of wiki leaks and in pity. how times have changed what was news in two thousand and ten is enemy propaganda now journalistic hero or enemy agent asks the same economist neither reads a subtitle just a useful idiot who the economist awarded for his stellar journalism or take time magazine who gave their front cover to a songe in two thousand and ten now they run virtual hit pieces quoting and headlining anyone that doesn't like a songe it seems be it hillary clinton or

a judge that met him once and labeled him a narcissist gets much dirtier uglier out. outlets that have historically supported and she did america's wars such as the atlantic put out cc's pact hate mails or the equivalent of musingly enough the hack behind this story first calls out assad has a miscarriage see with facts and almost immediately after says this artist dangling his question more and indeed one might inquire how it came to pass that the spin off of a kremlin propaganda organ and now registered foreign agent in the united states first arrived on the scene i stand ready to see your inquiry unlike other networks and publications who or learned at the same time that might be leaving the embassy

we could leaks told everyone unlike them we took it seriously we went and documented what happened this is called journalism journalism like what i did when he exposed various war crimes at the end of the day come on we all know the exact moment these people turned against their former hero. maybe you're kind of picking up where julian assange was before he went bad because we used to like you know he used to really be doing a good service and then something happened i guess his hatred for hillary clinton maybe is would turn him basically into someone who was a russian. aide really yes yes of course as i'm jaded hillary never did anything wrong she was perfect wasn't she. this should answer for what he has done according to hillary clinton however nearly released f.b.i.

documents obtained by conservative activist group and judicial watch suggest she and her team also have things to answer for the watchdog sites over four hundred pages of f.b.i. documents revealing evidence of an operation to wipe compromising e-mail sent by clinton it also says the u.s. intelligence community had concerns over classified information in some of the messages artie's takes a closer look. e-mails the reason why you freddy krueger is dressed up as an i.t. guy in hillary clinton's nightmares the f.b.i. found almost fifteen thousand and released e-mails in two year long investigation of her private server the head of the f.b.i. called you out for careless handling of classified documents said she believed the c.v. for confidential and some documents actually stood for the order of paragraphs some three years on when everyone thought it was all over and gone new f.b.i. documents reveal more juicy details like what happened to our half of the e-mails

that were raised clean by the clinton team we're not talking just a few dozen or hundred or even a thousand e-mails here we're talking some thirty thousand all private according to clinton she did provide a detailed and meticulous explanation of how she picked which e-mails to delete how and who exactly wiped her server that potentially stored top state secrets except clinton did none of that instead she felt like joking about it but did you want the sort of like with a cloth or something that well no. i don't know how it works digitally at all. it's because you know wipe has two meanings delete or cleaning of the wine stain from. last week and it's funny because it's cold but ok now that you're all

done laughing hundreds of newly revealed f.b.i. documents shed light on how that server was wiped a company called plot river networks did all the dirty works and these conversations between two of its employees leave no questions as to why they think they did it it's all part of the hill recover up over ration i'll have to tell you about it of the party. thanks for the heads up but even with only half of the e-mails available the new have be i papers reveal that from the get go key people had no doubt the server compromised classified material i have personally reviewed hundreds of documents in the h r c collection i can now say without reservation that there are literally hundreds of classified emails in this collection maybe more when this collection is released in its entirety the potential damage to the foreign relations of the united states could be significant one of the reviewers of

the clinton then intelligence community inspector general charles mccullough testified in the senate that documents beyond top secret were stored on the north the right server here is what happened next it was personal go back to me to my family to my office i was told by members of congress be careful you're losing your credibility are people at the get to there was an effort on the certainly on the part of the campaign to mislead people in the sense that there was nothing to see here. the clinton campaign released a statement in two thousand and fifteen claiming that none of the e-mails had been classified at the time and were only assigned levels of secrecy as a result of the investigation yet the f.b.i. knew everything from the panic signs setting in over the secrecy of the information handled by the to the clean up crew admitting a cover up but eventually james komi sided with clinton although there is evidence

of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case although the department of justice makes final decisions on matters like this we are expressing to justice our view that no charges are appropriate in this case well this is been the problem all along i mean we had james komi who was practically a criminal accomplice in helping hillary evade prosecution or conviction or even charges for what she did and this is this is not even a minute factor this is the main factors that the f.b.i. is no longer an objective and i guess you could say ethical law enforcement agency . a prominent palestinian activist has been founded from flying to the u.s. from israel despite having a valid visa. he is co-founder for movement to boycott israel which seeks to end

what it considers the jewish state's oppression of palestine we spoke to him to his story. i was. prevented from boarding a flight tel aviv airport because under instructions from the u.s. consulate u.s. immigration have banned me from entering the u.s. despite having a valid visa and valid travel documents we see this as outsourcing its mccarthyite antidemocratic repression against the b.d.s. movement for human rights in palestine to the united states the us administration has been mobilized now to do israel's bidding and trying to silence palestinian israeli and international human rights defenders who are active in this extremely important and very effective nonviolent b.d.s. movement. human rights groups have expressed outrage at washington's decision calling it the politicized sation of borders so far american authorities have

refused to give any comment saying all information relating to the case is confidential barghouti was traveling to the u.s. to take part in a speaking tour at several prominent universities including panel discussions with policymakers and journalists. co-founded the boycott divestment and sanctions movement known as b.d.s. in a two thousand and five calls on the international community to stop supporting israel and its companies it also seeks to return the territory in the west bank to palestinians in turn televisa accuses the movement of being anti semitic than di could director of the jerusalem center for public affairs says the decision to deny barghouti entry was not arbitrary. i think that is that's the argument that we're hearing all over the place is that this is what they call the shutting of mouse in the and the closing of free and the prohibition of free speech but this is not the issue of omar barghouti or more barghouti from the united states point of view as

a foreign agent with terror links to the islamic jihad p f l p hamas and other designated terrorist it is asians by the united states and europe so they don't like to have those types of terror link to the vigils coming into the united states . today to overhaul of all u.s. states have introduced new ones penalizing boycotts against israel earlier this year the senate passed a bill allowing states to terminate contracts with entities we support the boycott movement. says this legislation comes from fear of the movement growing in popularity. the u.s. supreme court to ruled that boycotts for political social and economic change are considered free speech protected by the first amendment of the us constitution so all those twenty seven states are following israel's orders basically but they're violating the oem the u.s. constitution we will challenge that we are challenging that in u.s. courts a.c.l.u.

is challenging at least three states on their antidemocratic. laws and we think we will prevail in the struggle israel is trying to suppress b.d.s. from above by passing laws because it has miserably failed to stop the immense growth of the movement at the grassroots level among the unions churches women's groups energy beauty groups and so on and so forth. the european elections are looming with support for parties on the rise it comes amid fresh allegations of russian backing shah and de bensky reports. anti establishment parties already set records in the twenty fourteen election winning one hundred and sixty seats more than twenty percent of the parliament if the current polls are anything to go by and they'll smersh these figures at the expense of the traditional big block alliances with new comers from both the left and the right embracing social media they're out pacing their established mainstream rivals

but that was caught some questioning whether there is a secret driving force behind it all it's russian meddling of course what else are you thinking there is no doubt that russia will be a major malign actor we have twenty seven countries participating in that election and they are not equally well prepared to avoid and prevent foreign meddling russia is very likely to try to intervene in the european parliament elections to secure as many seats as possible for the pro russian or euro skeptical political forces the media are lapping it up with just over a month before the european elections the starting guns have been fired a new tag teams are forming particularly amongst anti establishment parties in italy to use so vinny's the league has announced

a joint venture with parties from at least five other countries well his alliance has hopes of winning big by taking one hundred and fifty seats in the parliament but he has competition from his own new coalition government partner five star its leader luigi to my o. is also looking to make a new alliances with four other parties outside italy and let's not forget that unexpected twist to the course the you. k. which wasn't even supposed to be a member of the e.u. by now is also looking to field candidates no i joe for all she thought it already hung up his recent is dipping his toes back again this time with a brand new party actually named breaks it i can't imagine what it stands for this party is not here. just to fight the repeal of actions and the twenty third of

may this year this party is not here to ask people simply to express their anger by going to the ballot box and voting present day night the twenty third of may. is the first step of the backs of. our school and a mission is to change politics pretty good to change us thank you that's a straight to the problem for the euro and there's nothing to do with the haitians that the left and the democratic the democratic hide them in their own the people are not on the so-called far you have been committed to that project because the political project that their fantasies now they're going to make the people of you have disappeared and become one great people you know. the utopian people will need your claim of the other another investigation is that they were going to prove a collusion between the time campaign and herself

a conclusion from which means a neck and active behavior on the part of the time campaign and then that case as to the collapse it is being refuted by the media hope or for months and years the mainstream media the liberal media the so-called democratic media in the united states but also in europe also in france at least has been repeating things business that can be seen effect the putin agent of a is in the pocket book at the the coming which is totally for one of these mean cleanest collapsed the reason is why should we believe the other claims. yes republican senator calls for military action to prevent what he calls a genocide by venezuelan president nicolas maduro more on that story after this break. join me every thursday on the alex i'm unsure and i'll be speaking to us of the

world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. the business model of facebook is to pressure people to continue communicating through facebook giving facebook personal information this is what makes facebook a surveillance monster show facebook does not have users facebook has

used people that facebook users. welcome back to the program the u.s. republican senator has called for military action in venezuela in order to prevent what he's calling it genocide by president nicolas maduro washington recognized the violence from an opposition leader one interim president in january and has repeatedly stated that all options are on the table if it doesn't go. we've got to really consider whether we do military. you know help getting us aid in to stay the same the starving people of venezuela they are starving to death i mean this is genocide emma duros doing it meanwhile an american a think tank called the center for strategic and international studies and c.s.i.s. has reportedly held an off the record meeting to assess the use of when a tree full of san venezuela a list of roughly forty attendees at the event and concurrent and former u.s.

officials including from the state but to partment my colleague neil harvey spoke to my experiment the editor of grey's and dot com and the man behind the report. i confirmed that the meeting took place with a staffer at c.s.i.s. however she refused to give me details group stream lee nervous on the phone in a second source who participated in the meeting who confirmed it also refused to give details they were extremely nervous that somebody in the media knew about the existence of this event it was a very high level meeting with basically the main people in washington involved in making the sausage of trump's venezuela policy one of the more interesting elements was the participation of high level staffers from the u.s. agency for international development a minute and usa id is now talking about military options so this could be done under the auspices of some kind of humanitarian intervention to save venezuelans

but it's really interesting that an aid agency is participating in this discussion and the u.s. is using economic sanctions as a form of unilateral coercion in place of a military invasion that's according to the un special rapporteur or edris just sciri. and they don't seem to be removing material the u.s. has called on the military in venezuela to turn on the door and they've stood firm and honored the constitution and one kind of on a tour around dennis whalen. and he's not rallying the crowds the u.s. had hoped for and so i see this secret or private meeting at c.s.i.s. as evidence of the us is desperation and they're trying to find any means to dislodge material after several months if the u.s. was a military force to go in to a sovereign nation do you think that the people of america would tolerate that or not i think this would cause an existential crisis for the trumpet ministration

many people think trump would be happy to distract from his problems but i think you would see the anti-war movement similar to the kind that we had during the invasion of iraq with hundreds of thousands of people in the streets and you'd have a catastrophe across south america the entire region right in. so-called backyard would be destabilized so in many ways this is unworkable but i never underestimate the arrogance of washington policymakers. popular american fast food chain chick fil a has been banned from a number of us and post office and expressed support for the biblical definition of the family unit something that didn't fly with the community.

everyone has a place here and everyone should feel welcome when they walk through our airport. the use of chick fil a number present our state and businesses that support discrimination have no place operating in taxpayer funded public facilities. we know that this is a strong man inclusive community. sure the business is there respect these values. sure i'm aware of their beliefs but i personally get a kick out of thinking how each time i walk in there they've served my gate plus it's good chicken if they aren't willing to give up a burger they aren't going to give out their tickets to gays who go they probably already know so why do you think you can change their mind this is childish.

news i'll be back around thirty minutes time but do stay with us now to sofia which is next on international. i've been saying the numbers mean something they've mastered the u.s. is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime tamping each day. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be old rich eight point six percent world market rose thirty percent some with one hundred five hundred three

per second per second and if we rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers over. the only number you need to remember in one one business show you know ford the mid one and only boom box. you know world a big part of new things and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bats and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks.

the lives of those that. think of the people selling the home of the homeless is about it well. the falling. colmes sophie shevardnadze our world today may be a high tech wonderland but with the users no nothing in it with our personal data

being the new oil for big tech how do we break it's great but our digital lives will ask richard stallman the founder and leader of the free software movement. today's internet opens up possibilities like never before this present in every aspect of our lives that facilitate survey limbs and control on the unprecedented scale with governments tightening the screws on rules and regulations online can the web ever go back to the wild west days of the world wide web will global connectivity bring about giant leaps in human progress and wellbeing will become the real world is big brother in a brave new world richard stallman the founder and leader of the free software woman welcome to the show great to have you back one more time it's been a while so richard is the internet off today is all about collecting and using people's data for instance you call facebook and surveillance engine because all of

the data mining it does do you think it is possible to make an enormous platform like facebook without this large scale data collection a social network that one spy on you or is collecting and monitoring inherent to the business model of today's internet products well i don't know since either one and i don't think there should be a platform like the. book the only thing about facebook that is specially useful is that you can get in touch with lots of people. who have offered to be contacted perhaps the government should run a platform you can do that with just so everyone can be on it but once you contact the person you shouldn't be pushed to communicate through that same platform no quite the contrary that should only be for how to get in touch with someone and then you all talk.
