9:09 am
has been quick to point the finger out the kremlin over his death your source senior correspondent rotc estie. a tragic death for a man who made a living on tragedy james limits syria spent his life doing what he believed in which was remarkably similar to that what the british foreign office and nato believe it almost point for point so naturally before anyone even knows how many bones were broken in his body after he fell from his apartment balcony that they dogpile russia it's like an evolved limbic system fight flight or blame russia did russia kill white how much founder james the mysterious co-founder of white helmets found dead days after russia claimed he was a spy did russia drive here a british aid boss to his death limit crowding achievement was undoubtedly the creation of the white helmets politically charged rescuers who went to battle
9:10 am
alongside islamist terrorists even al qaida is winning in syria called them brothers you know the phrase you want to know how man lived his life look at who his friends were and they were relentless pro-government propagandists bent on censoring everything they don't agree with 133612 edits to wikipedia have been made in the name of philip cross over 14 years that's over 30 edits per day 7 days a week and i do not use that figuratively wiki pedia edits the times and if you plot them the time card for philip crosses wiki pedia activity is astonishing if it is one individual before a day had passed since limits series death his friends began scrubbing his wiki pedia page the history of his life of all controversy whitewashing his biography philip cross the busy bee that he is really went to town making james as we keep
9:11 am
pedia page all nice and pretty you read it now it was a st the times reported the dilemma. syria was the subject of an intense black propaganda campaign for years my promise that activists and russian diplomats the new york times reported that the group and there would be syria were the target of unfounded conspiracy theories when he isn't rewriting history 247 go figure philip likes to watch television all sorts of channels and then go in low lying or try to discredit anyone he doesn't agree with such as government critics antiwar activists and people who don't believe that the world is black and white if you peruse the added history on the wiki pedia page on can livingstone you also find the smartest fingerprints of that mr krause clearly if we can p.d. allows a person who reveals their political agenda see attached to edit pages there is a huge problem this is clearly visible on my entry which has been overwhelmingly
9:12 am
edited by cross and which is clearly unbalanced of course a much more probable explanation is that philip cross is a group of individuals paid to further the interests of the british government than malign anyone that criticizes it or its policies they have no problem smearing and degrading others yet philip or phillips ashar i see they're fine with doing it to others but talking about them is a no no back in 2018 someone wrote an article about philip cross and for his troubles the article was deleted and the author was banned for life for this philip cross did because considerable effort to read it in wikipedia entries for world known british anti establishment journalists bloggers authors and academics philip cross may be a pseudonym for a group of like minded individuals acting in concert there are reasons teachers
9:13 am
tell students never to use wikipedia. dia as a source philip cross is one of those reasons the fact is that wiki pedia is not an independence organization it's basically been set up by those who are very close links to western intelligence services there are attempts to manipulate it and to make it appear that certain things are true then they're not and other things are not true when they are philip cross who is a very very strange person in the sense that he's a constantly changing we could be to articles about controversial figures and he seems to be working around the clock so it's looks to me as if he's working some kind of intelligence a service and in any case he might not even be a real individual so one of the problems we've got with dealing with any information like this is that people are out there manipulating information in real time in an exclusive interview earlier this week with r.t.
9:14 am
president assad talked about quote the militias actions of some foreign countries in syria you can watch the interview any time on r.t. dot com or on our you tube channel. how did i says roy roth suddenly in 2014 out of nowhere after nothing. in iraq and syria at the same time with american armament . the be physically the russians are saying that the us is stealing $30000000.00 of oil a month from northern syria is this a trump budgeting chip in the geneva talks why would net oil export or like the usa be interested in $30000000.00 of oil a month no things i says the started sparkling syrian oil and oil in 2014 they had to partner with her. and his coterie and the america where the cia or others the american always try to loot other countries in in
9:15 am
different ways in different ways regarding peer not only always or money or financial resources they do their rights. their rights political rights every every other right historical role at least after world war 2 and as for girlish forces are they just tired after serving the years i mean your understanding is they took money from. the united states the cia i know you are welcoming them back to work at 1st of all there is the if is not only because it's mix of curtain rods and others 2nd when we talk about there is the of because in the to prevent part of the kurds the measured it all because they had good relation of the government and the measured it all because support that support the government but which is called the id the one who is being supported by the americans publicly they armament their money they smuggled oil together. they are american.
9:16 am
agents to be most of them i wouldn't odin 30 all of them i don't know. all of that but their party policy during the last few years is to invite the american trustee to be angry when the american wants to leave. and to say we don't want to join the syrian army simply had you saying exactly what mr do one would say it with a protest about them actually they are and has his own agenda which is to part his own agenda as muslim brotherhood and the american agenda as a puppet so it's to pot but they work in tandem with 2 agendas. but at the same time though those group of people why they give him the excuse and the reason to invite syria that doesn't mean invasion is legal is
9:17 am
illegal in every things all the world but they give him the pretext because he has been announcing for years that he wanted to invade the northern part of syria and he wanted to clean that area from the terrorists and he mean the people waited because it gave him the. excuse but what happened that's why they were to be blamed but erdogan has invaded. going brain is proving a headache for german farmers and they're making a government where that's one of the stories well try and fit in after the break. i'm max kaiser one more of my guide to financial survival this is. a

device used by professional scallywags to earn money. that's right these has flaws are simply not accountable and we're just adding more and more to the. totally destabilize the global economy you need to protect yourself and get informed as were. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. saying . we dare to ask.
9:19 am
90 minutes into the program welcome back a 50 percent hike in petrol prices led to violent protests breaking out across the country there was trouble in at least a dozen cities with buildings vandalized pictures of a supreme leader and. riot police responded tear gas water color was used though the authorities say one person's during the rest but that's disputed on social media where it's claimed there may have been more fake tell us he's the surprise fuel price rise and months point came on friday with the government saying the revenues will fall in support for the poor the move is bought by iran's supreme leader the ayatollah khomeini who. they're rioting and call the protesters hooligans let's go live now a political analyst side must stuff
9:20 am
a cust chesham always good to have you on the program how unsettled is the situation where you are. hello and thanks for having me you know tehran is calm now of course and all security has been stopped which there were where you know ever since the revolution the iranians have been demanding. actually freedom of expression and that's why they revolted and there have been protests or demands by the people in demonstrations who have been expressing their legitimate concerns and demands and nobody has been bothering them of a since this riots a was revived through the revolution and this is nothing strange but this strange or call the standing point here is that as soon as the rain ian's come out to
9:21 am
the man and to call for. legitimate grievances economic grievances we can see very. very outstanding efforts and very clear and obvious efforts by the united states by the m.k. older son of the former pal of your regime in august and very recently by this all these even who try to hijack these peaceful rallies or peaceful gatherings and they try to escalate the situation and they encourage the people to sit arson attacks to go damage public and private buildings to intimidate and bully businesses to close down and they try to you know escalate this situation and steer in security that's the problem we saw it all years ago we saw it in the last 2 nights hopefully the iranian police have identified them and the
9:22 am
intelligence ministry says that they have already made some arrests in order to make sure that these political these economic grievances let's just get on to the economic grievances are still an interesting and. because iran of course we know is having to take tough economic decisions as it struggles with crippling u.s. led sanctions secretary of state mike pump aoe reportedly claims they're not targeted at a rainy and civilians rather they are industrial on financial hollow has dropped filtered though in affecting a rainy and incomes the prices of goods etc. well you know the iranians are now not only they have not only achieved self-sufficiency in producing petrol but they are a supplier an exporter of petrol so this is not the us sanctions that that has done you know harm to this situation iran doesn't need imports of petrol that's been the
9:23 am
case for the past few years actually especially since last year but here the point is that the us is the prime party who gets happy when there were something options like this in iran because they can brag about the impacts of the sanctions claiming that they have caused rest but this is not the case as a matter of fact this is been done by ourselves the governments old governments across the water when they intend to stage or exercise a decision they need to do number of things 1st is expertise an expert studies they've already done that they have the legitimacy to exercise their decision but what they missed this time was developing public support normally when rationing or price hike with regard to petrol prices happens in iran the presidents and their cabinets and experts step forward to talk about the plan 2 months or one month
9:24 am
before hand but this time they missed this you know step which is very vital they didn't talk about it and they staged the plan without the bell up in public support so the public many of those who are holding economic grievances they don't know that they are there recipients of the divide ins and merits of this plan because they ought to be paid some money some more subsidies because of this plan because they have not been informed that's why they are upset or they have concerns about the price hike this is the government that should have informed. and pay the subsidies even before the stage in the plan that's the problem here and i believe that the government has come to realize that it needs to work to develop public support through the media before staging an exercise in such decisions sayah thanks here time life from tehran political analyst side.
