the way ways. that you run a blood bank. in one room are dead patients they've been dead since two thousand and eight j.p. morgan goldman sachs. and in the other room the living middle class people and the point of blood bank is to take blood from the living middle class people and to transfuse blood to the dead banks next door that they've been dead now for more than ten years. in the middle class are going to start to suffer and suffer horribly and many of them will die by the way they won't be getting any of the blood from the other middle class people to keep them alive all the blood all the plasma goes to the dead.

greetings and. war is hell so the helicopter door gunner to private joke or up to shooting innocent vietnamese farmers in stanley kubrick's epic vietnam war film full metal jacket yes my friends war is hell and that hell is at the heart of this latest news concerning the prosecution of cheap special warfare operator edward eddie gallagher the navy seal who according to the may be times is accused of committing multiple war crimes including stabbing to death an unarmed and seriously wounded islamic state prisoner of war during a twenty seven thousand deployment to iraq plus shooting an old man and a young girl named violent spree that prosecutors contend might have claimed hundreds of lives in the war zone. according to witnesses the islamic state prisoner was only fifteen years old but it's not just the bronze medal winning navy seal chief's actions that are coming under fire but the chain of command around him as well you see the new york times is now reporting that according to a confidential navy criminal investigations report seven members of gallagher's
9:32 pm
platoon who tried to report the murders allegedly being committed by gallagher were told by their troop commander and his senior enlisted aide both long time comrades of the accused platoon leader that speaking out could cost them and others their careers not to mention the fact that cheap gallagher was also allegedly threatening harm to any teammates that spoke to authorities about his alleged actions or as brown in the retired navy captain military lawyer told the new york times quote the willingness of an institution to turn a blind eye is common it's especially true in warfare communities and in the seals you don't just keep it in the family you keep it in the immediate family. my friends if war is hell than peace is heaven and silence is purgatory so let's break down the military industrial walls of silence and start watching the hawks.
9:33 pm
it's. like you know that i got. to. welcome everyone watching the hawks i am fire open target joining me today to discuss this wall of silence and horrors of the military industrial complex wars as the host of the world according to jess the former u.d.t. c.e.o. and governor of minnesota jesse ventura always a pleasure having you on. thank you tyrrel i'll state this this isn't an easy show for me to do today because after all they're talking about my military unit and what i was when i was in the united states navy and that makes it difficult to talk about it many ways i'm sure it is and it's
9:34 pm
a difficult story to read too because these are the best of the best and you hate to see if you know if this is all true you hate to see these kind of actions being perpetrated by our men in uniform you know as as you said as a member of seal team was there a code of silence that existed in the teams and the army sort of forces as a whole when you served in the vietnam era and and should soldiers be covering up wiring or staying silent to protect their own even when it comes to potential war crimes or crimes against humanity. well it's something that each and every soldier sailor marine airman would have to judge for themselves because it falls to me under something that's called honor. and the only way you have honor is to tell the truth a lot or does not have honor so all timidly anyone involved in let me state i know nothing about all this i know only what i've read lately i wasn't there so i don't
9:35 pm
want to judge who's telling the truth and who's not but it comes down to honor and that means at night you've got to go home and look in the mirror and you have to know did i tell the truth did i have the honor much like the great movie with cuba gooding and robert deniro men of honor about carl bushehr the black diver navy hard had diver the same thing honor and it comes down to that in situations like this are you going to be honorable and tell the truth are you going to be dishonorable and why you know it's interesting because it feels like we've seen a lot of accusations in recent years a really horrific accusations come out of these crimes of some very much proven to be true where you know you see soldiers like gallagher or even chris kyle and you hear these stories of you know sniping women and children indiscriminately in this case gallagher alleged you know allegedly stabbed a p.o.w.
9:36 pm
a prisoner awarded death he was fifteen you have to wonder why our military you know is producing or at least attracting individuals who many would say are committing psychopathic acts why are we seeing that. well it's a perfect place for a social path to go i mean if you if you're a social path going into that type of work i would judge could be a perfect thing for you you'd really enjoy it the finger a member i face this because in my thing with chris kyle the american sniper he wrote a lot about me and that it required his platoon to come up and attempt to testify in court and they were dishonorable because they knew it didn't happen but they tried to create a sin. aereo were at my dolphin backing their body and so i the vietnam veteran was thrown under the bus and it went further than that even one hundred seventy u.d.t. seal members wanted me thrown out of the u.d.t.
9:37 pm
seal association i have done nothing i was merely trying to clear my game but that's the way it lined up even against me so they will devour their own the dishonorable ones and i hate to say it but many many seals are so on rable you can't find better but in any group that size that support under that type of thing there are going to be dishonorable ones too it's interesting too because in march the one and only president commented on the gallagher case tweeting in honor of his past service to our country navy seal eddie gallagher will soon be moved to a less restrictive confinement while he awaits his day in court process should move quickly now gallagher is facing alleged crimes of murder and premeditated murder those are the charges the spacing and you know should the president be getting involved in cases like this tweeting about them or you know saying all we need you know to loosen his pretrial confinement and things of that nature. no i don't
9:38 pm
believe so i think that you have to let it go you have to let the system run its course he will have his day in court that's why it's all coming to light now and you don't need a president talking about the case go back and look what happened fifty years ago when charles manson was on trial and president nixon came out and said he was guilty it almost caused a mistrial because there was a headline in every paper paper in america how could manson then get a fair trial when the president already deemed him guilty when he hadn't been convicted yet so things of people making comments before it happens should not be happening let the day in court happen and the president should not be weighing in on nothing because he doesn't know anything after all here's a guy who couldn't even make it through one day a boot camp very true very true of them bone spurs are hard to get over but you
9:39 pm
know playing golf i guess gets rid of them. no nothing nothing gets rid of them and i'd like to see the bone spurs otherwise he committed a felony exactly exactly you know it's interesting part of a lot of this i think gets back to that idea of why you know the wars that we are fighting and i think when when you're fighting unjust wars you unjust acts are going to happen to me like a sub or as how why do we have such a hard time with accountability in this country when when you know criminals wear white collars or criminals wear uniform it's hard to get accountability when you when you see that over and over again. well because take a look at the ads on t.v. now where they're asking for warriors to come forward they make it look they make war look like an exciting video game and that you want to take part in it because you're going to go running around i mean i thought in these ads on t.v. right now to try to get people to join the military are so pro-war. it's horrifying
9:40 pm
to look at these ads and believe me you know i've been around now for sixty seven and a half years and in my lifetime we haven't fought a just war yet i wasn't alive during world war two but all the war sense them were colonial wars they were wars for oil they were war like give you the example right now what happened in sri lanka right these bombs going off why won't they take it to its core isis would not exist if bush and cheney had not invaded iraq overturned the government had no plan of what they were going to do there and that caused the bath party and saddam's military to create isis we are the creators of isis and then we cry when they do something the hypotheses amazing it really is because we never took account of the blowback that we see from
9:41 pm
this kind of war machine that we live under. you know what what do you feel desert is the best way for us to stop this is it does it come from voting in people who are going to be against this or what is the best way for people to buy back against this kind of unrestrained war machine. well i think the best way yes is voting but you can't vote for a democrat either because they're onboard with or to notice that nobody votes against the department of defense bill when it comes up they could raise it how many billions of dollars more and everybody is right on board pretty well passes with no trouble at all until we start leaving this war culture as a society in america we start reading history people read about the romans they got a ball watching football games like the super bowl while they conducted war throughout the world it was the recipe for disaster everybody tonight's going to turn into the
9:42 pm
n.f.l. draft and they are going to worry about nothing happening in the world good point jesse always a pleasure having you on thank you so much for coming on and talking about this very sensitive subject matter and we'll see what happens with this case as it moves forward always a pleasure. thank you sir as we go to break card watchers don't forget to let us know what we think of the topics we've covered on facebook twitter and you tube and see our poll shows at our t.v. dot com coming up we delve into the latest developments regarding the ongoing political crisis in venezuela and then conservative commentator steve malzberg joins me to discuss the latest political politics going on in washington d.c. today stay tuned for botching the whole. facebook and google started with a great idea and great ideals unfortunately it was also
9:43 pm
a very dark side. they are constructing a profile of you and that profile is real it's detailed and it never goes away turns out that google is manipulating your opinions from the very first care. that you type into the search bar there will always be one dog food over another one comparative shopping service over another and one candidate over another they can suppress certain types of results based on what they think you should be see if they have this kind of power then democracy is an illusion the free and fair election doesn't exist the more rope we give them the sooner we are all. the trump in ministration is on an offensive around the globe as a candidate trump called out neo cons for supporting american military adventures
