manufacturer rate on an aerospace titan united technologies agreed on sunday to a $120000000000.00 merger for the war industry this is the equivalent of kevin durant's siding with the golden state warriors the washington post reports that the post merger the company should be expected to make a strong play for the defense department emerging hypersonic missiles programs it also will give raytheon a sizable foothold in the commercial aerospace market for the 1st time in recent memory should provide some real competition for the le bron james of the military industrial complex the one and only lockheed martin the world's largest merchant of death naturally the news of this merger landed like a crate the bloody raw beef for the big parade for both the anti trust and the antiwar activists upon hearing of the deal daniel hanley and any trust advocate took to twitter and claimed we should be have extreme skepticism to any defense

merger a key fact about the industry and the congress must approve all foreign purchases and that the u.s. government is their largest customer mergers thus directly and clearly enhance their ability and need to lobby great because that is definitely what we need more of here on capitol hill of defense industry lobbying fantastic and raytheon technologies which is the new name milla sume of the merger goes through we'll have plenty of money to throw around my friends it's estimated that once combined the company will be valued at roughly $100000000000.00 with an annual revenue of about $74000000000.00 per year and i'll guess that's mostly tax dollars. but you know let's not forget we're all about freedom and peace here not money so with the war business in bloom of the biggest merchants of debts rattling the planet with dollar signs in their eyes and conflict on the horizon i think it's

time to start watching the hawks. it looks like. it's going. to do. what they like you know that i got. was that we. would. be. welcome on the watching the hawks i robot in downtown. and then i don't need to buy anything from any of these guys but i have ever ever i'm ok if they all go out of they're not planning on oppressing and going to have also been a small country on the other side of the other side of the globe that refuses your your dollar now ok but you know i mean i have them anywhere and i can fight here at home generally is that un-american right now in america to not want us to be of the

greatest i'm still out wherever 2 so i want to read you a quote and i want you to try to guess who said this quote about the merger already quote goes when i hear united and i hear raytheon when i hear their merging does that make it less competitive it's already not competitive i just want to see competition now who do you think would say such and such a any trust friendly quote and especially about the military industrial complex any guesses on elmo not elmo but definitely multi-colored yes donald trump this quote came from he likes them choices then is a little. orange for. incredible the donald actually is. again it's like a broken clock. once or twice a week or month or year something i mean i hope he sticks with this because this

merger of scares and frightens the hacker out of me especially when you look at the 2 involved and u.t.c. i mean these are not exactly you're standing wonderful you know great citizens of the world know this is how you got things like. the umbrella corporation. now science fiction. please and i'm and i'm only half kidding you it is literally how you get that when you've combined so much of the possibilities for death and destruction and technology and you've wrapped them up like that you don't you know have a big choice in the in these times published last month raytheon just so everybody remembers this is one of the major providers as missiles and weaponry to saudi arabia which of course with the backing of the united states has been waging a pretty vicious assault on yemen since 2015 and your tax dollars are going to help

a murderous regime murder innocent people starve them yeah i mean i don't bomb them i mean i don't know when they're going and going to look at that i mean you go to videos like this is of like what we. see this rocket and we're so detached from the idea that these rockets are meant to destroy and kill people most of the times innocent civilians bernie sanders recently sounded off on twitter because of what the saudi you rate the trump connection he said trump back saudi arabia's war in yemen and sells them bombs they drop on children now he wants to help the saudis develop their own weapons congress must stop this president from doing the bidding of the arms industry in this brutal regime that's a great tweet bertie but at the end of the day congress also needs to stop doing the bidding of the defense industry in order to stop these brutal regimes and their own brutal regimes were using to the point it was a where where they are struggling and where the one making these deals happen we are the ones that are paying to subsidize that we are subsidizing so that saudi

arabia can get a cut rate deal you know on missiles and i don't i don't understand why we are the reason why we have to be the people to subsidize everybody else's businesses. especially when it comes to the military industrial complex i mean we are you get the nail on the head and usually you see this. it's a merger a fantasy merging with doesn't have a great background and all in 2012 u.t.c. is subset another subsidiary pratt and whitney pled guilty to multiple criminal felonies so they got caught selling military helicopter engines to china. under this guy's that they were selling for commercial helicopter and bridges that's why you need a military and. in your. not a good luck and quite frankly i'd be happy if they all went. to this merger is going to 5 major 6 major so you know military industrial complex in the media all

over by the same 6 corporations. this week in the great state of wisconsin the town of wisconsin rapids announced that it is considering an ordinance against bullying with a twist and that twist is that the next time little johnny buddy bullies little timmy on the playground little johnny's parents could face fines yes the legislative committee and wisconsin rapids unanimously voted on monday to move forward an ordinance that prohibits bullying harassment and retaliation against anyone who report such incidents and that parents will be held accountable if their child's bullying ways to the tune of science upwards of $313.00 so should parents be held accountable for their children's actions when it comes to bowling well what normally would take m s n b c fox c.n.n. 8 hours a day to day we can do in just 5 minutes joining us for our 5 minute debate is conservative commentator david. all right well you know we live in a country where we don't punish the child for the sins of the parents so wisconsin

rapids says why don't we turn that on its head and start punishing the parents for the sins of the child 1st of all bullying harassment retaliation all fine of all offenses under this proposal these offenses sound horrible and the case that sparked this bill the death of a little girl who was bullied who wouldn't want measures in place that would. prevent that from ever happening again but the problem is how does the bar go how low does it go what are the definitions of these terms as they applied to the bill what will the town be holding the parents responsible for if your kid calls another kid a name like kids do bring it up if a 5 year old boy plants a wet one on the cheek of a 5 year old girl in the most precious well meaning man or ring it up you know what should be interesting what should happen if parents of the 15 year old gangbangers on the streets of chicago and elsewhere were held responsible for crimes of their children the ones who murder rape and beat the innocent now that would never happen

1st the left wouldn't hear of it they deplore locking the guilty up but it's also most likely very unconstitutional by the way wisconsin rapids based their bill on a bill passed by plough over wisconsin 4 years ago since then that town is fighting not one parent and as issued just 12 warnings they say just the threat of a fine work please don't get me wrong while bullying can be a serious issue this proposal will not stop kids from being kids. well i will say this as a grown up who has had the never forgotten for a single 2nd what it's like to be bullied as a child i have to say good for wisconsin rapids and full disclosure i am from around that area the reason this proposal is even on the table is because a bunch of adults finally saw how bad it really was when a 7th grade child receives notes on facebook telling her to killers self and workers sorry but if your kid wrote that you should be fined if your kid breaks

a window you pay for it your kid acts the fool you pay for it these children didn't come out of the womb as bullies they're raised that way by parents who are in fact responsible for their children and their actions that is why you keep fighting with the government that you shouldn't be told how to raise your children so if you want to raise them away that their little jerk. well there is a fine for the rest of us they do it because adults are acting like they shouldn't have to be responsible for what they say or do so why should your kid look at usa today analysis of 14 years of wisconsin data show that rates of suicide self harm and mental health crisis increase when the school year starts and i for one would be more than happy to vote for all the fines for parents who don't bother to teach their own kids basic human decency well i will start off and say this look bullying is a major problem in the united states we know this because bullying is essentially the main ingredient of u.s. foreign policy practices practiced by both the democrat and republican parties we

believe cuba we believe venezuela we believe iran and countless other nations if they do not bend to the will of pax americana so should we hold parents accountable for their child if that child believes another student hell yes why because when it comes to children it's all about preparing them for the life ahead of them getting them ready for adulthood bullying is a part of that life we cannot legislate that away but we can show them that there are consequences for it mainly for the people around them i just wish our political leaders would spend more time reigning in their own bullying behavior towards each other and other countries before they start lecturing the rest of us and if the next generation learns the ugly consequences of being a bully then maybe maybe when they are in charge of the united states we won't be known around the world as the big narcissistic bully on the block thank you as always for coming on and break in as well as down and having fun with us today

steve very good points by steve everyone thank you so much thank you guys. all right as we go to break off watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered on facebook and twitter and see our poll shows that r t v dot com coming up front but ministration is rolling back the clock on us cuba relations and that the freedom of the black alliance for peace joins us to discuss going to miss this state. to watch mohawks. you know to go 2017 the german newspaper developed published an article claiming that the european union have lost 30000000000 euros as a result of its very anti russian sanctions.

particularly affected eastern europe many polish film as went broke and even committed suicide. sometimes i can succumb to as i was of on the good. will put on the political and on the. on the young to be on the whole so i'm going to. have other kind of. doesn't then let's see in the. song the smiths. and doesn't dance with all the folks and that's what you call. what is it calling his magic and the new type of digital currency

essential lies digital scarcity chancellor i'm bringing a 2nd for a bank that's called that got us a lot for a reason because civil disobedience a source of optimism because i can control my own financial destiny it's just a new way of coming to consensus is a game changer in the human history of this. columbus discovering the new world this terrible time shifting technology that transforms economics and finance in a heartbeat the apollo 11 landing on to the smacks of stacy.

over 50 years of embargos sanctions and travel restrictions haven't done a thing to force the island nation of cuba to bend the united states will get president after president has continued to play a game that truly only hurts the poorest of cuba's citizens even the current one on june 4th treasury secretary steve mention announced a new set of travel restrictions on cruise ships going to and from cuban ports this may comes after u.s. national security adviser john bolton told veterans who had participated in the bay of pigs invasion of cuba in 1961 quote the reality is the it that the obama administration sought to normalize relations with a radical dictatorship that targets american citizens murders and tortures political opponents and tramples upon every freedom known to man on the other side of the cuba issue are those who see the concern for democracy and the people of cuba to be little more than pandering to an electorate american university government professor william lee a ground day told fortune magazine and that this is part and parcel of

a broader strategy of increasing action against cuba with the aim of collapsing the cuban economy the president wants to appeal to conservative cuban americans ahead of 2020 of the motivation is not a foreign policy one it's domestic politics so to help us better understand the difference between the facts and the fiction of cuba as someone who just came back from there a member of the choir. made ready for the black alliance for peace after friedman thank you so much for joining us thank you for having me back. it's a great pleasure having you i know you mentioned you were recently in cuba and i'm actually very curious what what are the cuban people think in your interactions with them what are they think you know about the latest moves and the moves over the last few years of the united states towards cuba. this is i've been working on this is you actually for a long time before black construct and been there so the times in this was this was interesting people should know that the united states is his way this protracted a multifaceted war against cuba for like the last 60 years and so is very little

that they can do to the cuban people that's not going to have them fortify their resolve in their defiance in say william we're not going to surrender you've actually done the worst of us and they've even orchestrated terrorism all kind of things against you and so right now that is really what are the expressions of the cuban people they're pretty sophisticated politically separating the intentions in the designs of the policies of the government from the people of the united states and saying that they really hope then wish we could and then there is actually solid they're in friendship with a lot of people the united states which i think is what motivates the new moves after the the obama administration was loosening up trade and travel with executive orders a lot of people started going i mean they like had a 93 percent increase in people traveling to cuba from the united states just with in like the last month before in fact the last month of one truck came in office because i think is because they were already talking about changing rolling back

some of the stuff so we wanted to go and i heard a lot of people saying i want to go there before the changes are coming and so i think that's part of what changes this in your introduction you talked about the pot politicians pandering to an electorate that once i think that's only part of it really. i think what really is a more motivating factor is a. a u.s. nato e.u. axis of domination there really doesn't want to see any countries with a b.q. were anything any countries exercising their right to self-determination and particularly this so-called with because you know the included in this will bolton i think is the one said toy tyranny and so these 3 countries in the good of venezuela and cuba are working together sharing medical. you know medical technicians things like that to try to better the the condition of their people and

as u.s. citizens go and then knowing the united states does a large slice of the issues with education medical practice the medical care and they find you know the people in countries that are really demonized actually have access to these universal health care then it also challenges in things that people experience of years ago it's very interesting and i think that's the thing about cuba that a lot of people mess and you start seeing you know major moments in history celebrated or looked at and i notice that cuba gets left out one that i know is this week which brings me my question is you know term mobile this h.b.o. series one of the little known facts thank you is cuba's help treat a lot of the our radiated citizens. and that's just one of the tiny things that they've done i could say a lot about cuba's health care their mental health care there's a lot of things there that they do a heck of a lot better than we ever do and you know why is it important not just you know sharing of information sharing of of curative about research in these things why is

it so important that your average american citizen allowed to travel to a place like why should they see it for yourself and how does us not being able to do that affect the narrative about why me it to me when you said answer the question. it is important for people to be able to experience that there's a different there's a possibility of a difference with some. places people over profit motives and you can have access to medical care and all these kind of different things without having to pay anything and that you can have a state that supports having access to these kind of things and not just medical care there's education and all those types of things and so it's very important for people to be able to see that not not only that they're just regular people i mean the regular people in both countries are really not don't hold the dispositions the political disposition so when you can have people with sharing certain tech not technological advances like medical technicians or medical professionals and

whatnot then it adds to the the ability to develop even further advances in medicine and things like that even literacy i mean cuba has also been remarkable literacy program and and so that's the important reason the other side of your question is that the opposite is also important for those who value putting profit over things and move value dominance and value expanding a military industrial complex and those kind of things they want to be able to send troops over places where and then you have a. country like little i like to sending doctors places where there have been troops that is a very important they make sure we don't understand the differences and they have to malign these types of examples it's interesting because cuba's former leaders passed away would be formerly for the castro he lasted what 5 different presidents 6 different presidents. from kennedy that i you know all of them. but he's no longer there and now i remember castro was always the big thing you know it was

like well castro's there and we were going to fight castro over fight communism and all that well he's no longer there and so i'm trying to wrap my head around why cuba is so important to us and why we need to keep people away and i understand like the idea of like we don't want people sharing information but like now that castro is going to what excuse could we possibly have left on that side of the aisle that. that says all we need to further like drill down on cuba i'm. one i think is 4th understand better we have to separate our interests from those who dominate the global economy that they want that obviously the us people have spoken for themselves in polls like pupils this show this 75 percent of people in the united states will prefer aver normalize relations with cuba and they've even done the poll in cuba and also outstandingly people of cuba one normalize relations and united the world has spoken with the united nations the cuban introduces

a resolution that calls for the ending of the the blockade and only 2 countries out of the $190.00 on the their vote to lift it and they persist the u.s. and israel the only ones that consistently so that's them but the reason why is so . i mean i think we've covered a lot of that and the irony is that one point it was like their relationship with china and russia and all these kind of thing now they have. better relations. with their. home economy it hits home for me because i remember my father as governor of minnesota when trade mission to cuba met with the bell and when he came back when he was on his way to the bush administration was ridiculing him unbelievably to go he's just going down there to sample prostitutes in this study is trying to build a relationship between the state of minnesota and cuba to end of this idiocy that we probably because. one of the politicians run us out i also mentioned that she

had just been down there are talking agriculture right before all of suddenly you know when the obama staff came through that there was this agriculture what are our farmers and what is the midwest these are all things that is why when you do you know nicaragua i mean through these places these food we grow food in financing how we haven't figured out how we can out of the example of that there. there are societies that are ordered on putting people and environment 1st and this is this society is the opposite for people that example to become continuous no we saw president obama make some at least some small steps but some pretty significant small steps toward better relations with cuba now obviously we feel like we've gone back to square one. what do you think needs to happen here for better relations between cuba and the united states are no longer a base is it an election thing is that the way the in this hell do i wish me going

to the more technical stuff too because we don't mean i mean never showed what is the helms burton act that was passed in the ninety's there was facilitate the blockade only the act of congress can rescind that all the president's going to only do some executive orders and the trading with the enemy act of the early 1900 the cube is the only country that falls into that act now with the excuse of bay of pigs invasion in the cuban missile crisis but they persist with it but then allow the president to tweak certain aspects lesser and lesser degrees of intensity or not like the bomb and doing what they do but the only way to reverse it is to for the congress so people got to do some mobilization only with their policy makers and make that issue with electoral issue or something and then expose these contradictions it's up to the people building a massive a people's movement their forces legislators to do that. it's people like yourself and other people who who have gone to cuba and come back that can help educate those who haven't been able to go here in the states who hopefully will see the

massive movement will see that outcry step up and say enough their island neighbors their good countrymen could learn from them and the work this is a more active war it is these go back to laos of peace we for all against war and all its all loving to thank you so much never freeman always a pleasure having you on thank you for educating your audience today. there is still a lot we don't know about history watchers and it appears we know even less about the milicic history of britain and a paper published this week in the antiquity journal has brought a new layer of mystery to a small manmade artificial island called chroma that are found in the hundreds and hundreds of scottish and irish clocks and waterways researchers have discovered that at least some of these manmade small island. they're nearly 3000 years old putting them into the same mysterious neolithic era as stonehenge and the stone circles of orkney and like stonehenge these islands were no easy feat to construct

some of the stones weighing as much as $550.00 pounds each so let's break our $4000.00 b.c. brothers and sisters and their historian befuddling strength and crack. the us are credible but i mean everyone you see those either i'm a piles of rocks but you know we got a little time back then in 4000 b.c. once we'll split some piles of rocks are hoping to pay them remember everyone just to mess with the story of today and remember everyone in this world we're not told that we're above the nub so i tell you all i love you i am tired old winter and keep on watching all those hawks out there another great day and.
