and detractors during the 1st world war the indictments legal ease of taining and disclosure of sensitive government information which often just means exposing government wrongdoings is lighting a fire under stablish when american journalists since after all they're doing it to this is to put it bluntly wrong unconstitutional and downright tyrannical is a pretty aggressive new move by the justice department the big deal here for a 1st amendment advocates the government is now trying to assert this brand new right to criminally prosecute people for publishing secret stuff and newspapers and magazines and investigative journalists and all sorts of different entities publish secret stuff all the time that is the bread and butter of what we do with the new indictment of a song the government is advancing a legal argument that places such an important work in jeopardy the administration has gone from denigrating journalists as enemies of the people to now criminalizing

common practices in journalism notice anything not a lot about songes work or fate but quite a bit about there's this is the prosy of the main stream media here in the united states just a couple of weeks ago the washington post editorial for granted editorial saying that julian was not a journalist well guess what the washington post one pulitzer prizes you'll be using integration that julian and we keep leaks published so you would think that in a normal world the washington post the new york times the wall street journal the guardian and every other major news outlet would be lining up behind julian to support him they're not the thing is though some might argue the war on freedom of speech began long ago back in 2012 a songe fled to the ecuadorian embassy in london for political asylum over fears of extradition to the u.s. after exposing potentially incriminating acts by the u.s. military for 7 years you. was interned there and conditions the u.n.

mold john made the good you are not allowed to help instruct you're not allowed to try to help somebody defeat security system they prefer to accuse the sonnes of working with the russians and of course to claim at the end he neglected his personal hygiene and like playing with his fecal matter for years they've been ignoring restrictions on the songes freedom of speech and smearing him for the sake of the narrative but the monster they created has now turned against them when the mainstream media is absolutely hypocritical you know they spent these last several years criticizing critiquing damning. stones for constantly continuously all of a sudden now they've woken up and pretended to be so upset about the 17 charges of espionage they do feel threatened now it has nothing to do with me that will spread through the big bill thread because they do the same thing to the stones as every day of the week it's called national security group polling in the know all of a sudden sitting. if you go home and they're pretending to be more concerned about

it to remind you here's a look back at some of the biggest revelations made by a songe over the years back in 2010 thousands of documents and classified video related to the wars in iraq and afghanistan were made public that leaked details among other things the indiscriminate shooting of civilians in iraq a year later the so-called get more files revealed routine torture at the guantanamo bay camp and the deaths of inmates through harsh treatment and in 2016 wiki leaks revealed a pro clinton media bias during the 2016 presidential campaign and a pot to push bernie sanders out of the race. theresa may has announced she is stepping down as u.k. prime minister and an emotional speech outside number 10 may express regret for failing to deliver brags that despite her best efforts sure resign as party leader on june 7th throwing open the race for a successor 3 years ago when she assumed office may's future looked more promising

theresa may made of bricks at a cornerstone of her premiership but delivering on the results of the referendum proved an impossible task her deal was roundly rejected in huge defeat 3 times with m.p.'s on both sides of the house becoming increasingly irate mark almond director of britain's crisis research institute oxford believes the country faces uncertainty and chaos. it's going to be a difficult task because the house of commons is still strongly against leaving the e.u. except on terms which involve remaining in a customs union almost certainly so that there's going to be a disconnect between the tory party members and supporters and presumably the people who defected to the briggs's party who are mainly conservatives who want a serious break with europe and the members of parliament and so unless you change the arithmetic in the house of commons whoever succeeds mrs may if they want to leave the e.u. was going to face huge problems in the same sort can they force a new general election what will be the result of that we don't know but there's going to be a great deal of uncertainty and as i say there's this looming deadline of the 31st

fell from above which would in that case mean one thing the assad controlled air force had nothing to do with it and while the sky was dominated by the governments of the ground at that time was in control of the insurgents so the question is now who else could have placed the cylinder on that bed now the revelation at the o p c w concerned except not the substance of it but the fact that someone in their ranks when grow and exposed something they tried to bury as. deep and far away from the public eye as possible the bottom line in this is that the documents has been passed to us which as i've said before we've had we have confirmation from multiple sources which clearly shows that there has been an investigation carried out from within you. an investigation which is not found its way to move leak into the fire
9:14 am
do not report and use your investigation into your p.c. w. and how it has been operating because it is the case that this organization has been subjected to political pressure and that have led to a distortion their investigations and that is an incredibly serious matter. but this engineering analysis is not the 1st blow to the official version of what happened in duma now this video purported to show the harrowing aftermath of the chemical attack resonated across the airwaves and was hyped by many channels horrific images of syrian children fighting for brownfield and suffocating in their homes the editor of urgency shelter many with foam in their mouths disturbing reports of a chemical weapons attack chemical attack carried out by the asset regime except later people in the video said they had no recollection of

so we ended 2014 with the u.s. marshals auctioning off some more of their big coin enter 2015 and we see the arrival of the banks and them trying to figure out a way to how to have blocked chain without bitcoin this was the year that we had blocked again not that queen and in fact i'm going to skip ahead to this headline from bloomberg markets on october 25th 2015 and it has on the cover live masters the former head of the precious metals trading desk over at j.p. morgan and it's all about the block chain they claim this is an attempt by the banks to. nudge their way into this emerging market and they can't recognize bitcoin as such because it's a competitive threat so they've decided that the underlying technology of block
