7:05 pm
a wonderful relationship with all the military leaders of course there are good soldiers and military leaders but when it comes to the cost struggles with some forget about their ideological stance and their patriotism consequently their interests are affected they lost part of their power and cannot forgive us for this has nothing to do with being indigenous we're not. r.c. america news anchor rick sanchez discussed the situation in bolivia with pulitzer prize winning journalist chris hedges who says that the us has a hand in the crisis. this is the revolving door story of latin america that as soon as a populist figure like evo morales appears the knives come out on the part of the empire and on the part of those corporations that hold especially the natural resources in a place like bolivia hostage there's been a constant conflict between. these corporations and evo morales let me stop you there because you just said something that's very interesting there may be
7:06 pm
a reason for the united states government the government open. chris hedges and rick sanchez for the country where we live to do things from time to time in other places right but it seems like what you just described is something where no one asked chris no one asked rick no one talked to our media no one talked to our congress it just happens out of thin air we go and destabilize the government doesn't that seem crazy yeah but that's you know decades of practice of the you know the so-called invisible state was the but it's how the cia operates they operate you know completely in the shadows and they operate on the b. hast of the business interests i mean united fruit didn't want arbenz around before they got rid of them so on and on and on this goes back decades and decades and decades it of it's about the maintenance of empire and that's what we're seeing in bolivia where i lived in bolivia the spanish in bolivia this is the powder and now

7:09 pm
now sweden could have still off to the extradition now the no longer a threat that ironically means other than the impending hearing there's nothing standing in the way of mr saunders extradition to the us. that is now focused on the threat mr assange has been warning about for years to belligerent prosecution of the united states and the threat it poses to the 1st amendment the swedish sex crime out of geisha and led to the ecuadorian embassy in august plenty of. face with the drugged out of april this year he's currently in prison now swedish charges have been dropped all the time sometimes his extradition trial scheduled for february next year but some are concerned about whether he'll get a fair hearing i think it's absolutely fair to say that politics now is coming to. an extradition proceeding it was not designed to be
7:10 pm
