sacrifice. and that's what we've done we've rendered those trapped in the sacrifice songs invisible. these people have been not just rendered invisible through infrastructure but they've been rendered invisible through a media which doesn't report their story at all. and we should also know that they're completely trapped they can't get loans rents

are actually quite high in camden although you're living. conditions. and this was one of the major manufacturing centers of the united states. oh i used to have r.c.a. victor. the famous italian tenor caruso used to come here to. campbell's soup one of the largest companies in the country here. this was a major port up until world war 2 a lot of ships were built here and then just in the port in world war 235000 people were employed.

i am. coming great admirer of the canadian intellectual john ralston saul who used the term corporate coup d'etat in his book the unconscious civilization was a very important book for me because it it gave me the vocabulary to understand that corporate coup d'etat how it was carried out and how it expressed itself in our

society in 1905 writing something like that felt really risky because i was essentially saying you know muslim he won the 2nd world war it was his proposal corporatism that seriously was defeated saying war in iraq was really arguing that it was the way of organizing society which he had become more and more powerful please raise your right hand and repeat after me. donald john trump do solemnly swear and i was slightly covering my bad spy saying that it was a coup d'etat in slow motion because i was feeling my way into no one ever said anything like that. when i sign this bill into law america will have the lowest marginal tax rates and the most modern tax code a major industrialized nation parikh guess i was wrong was that it wasn't slow motion was really very fast when you think about it was really a matter of a couple decades. donald trump do solemnly

swear i will faithfully execute the office of president of the united states also this president of the united states. and there's no question put into this. we're well into that world we're well into the story but this crisis there were in maybe we want to call it a legitimacy crisis right the status quo or the legitimating framework of capitalism right that has sort of guided us over the past 3 decades and this kind of organizing system has really lost legitimacy the main reason is simply that it's been a project that has benefited elites enormously and despite all of the kind of rhetoric of how much you know market flexibility will help workers how much free trade will help you know average people become more skilled and get better jobs the reality is

ordinary working families are not doing well in fact they're doing substantially worse than they were doing a few decades ago and they're getting injuries or used to be. you get up on google 21 inch screen. there is no. so this kind of ruling. has created. at least in its political. and

that gave rise to. the elites look at trump is an embarrassment i mean he's idiotic he's. competent he's lazy. at least was a stupid enough to realize that he had to give the corporate c.e.o.'s wall street what they wanted which was the tax cut. temporary. are long term for. private equity he gave the military 10 percent budget increase. and he deregulated industries like the e.p.a. . and so they tolerate. a number of. hard core economic libertarians particularly.

individuals like the koch brothers. made very clear since the early seventy's that they would like to see a system. property owners that is a democracy to represent those with money those with economic power. and that's the government we have today because it's. shapes and crafted by billionaires they're hoping to ensure that democracy doesn't exist but instead we have just a constellation of powerful interest groups. it was basically saying individuals cannot be the source of legitimacy in society it has to be done on the basis of self interest. down on space specialist groups it's astonishing when you read this and you see the extent to which that idea of group us versus the responsibility of the citizen has become increasingly are.

it is better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep that's a famous mussolini quote you're a tweet it was a lead it was was a lady i'd say ok don't go it's a very good quote it's a very interesting quote and i know it's i saw it i saw what i know who said it but what difference does it make whether is was to leave me as somebody else and so certainly a very interesting quote that you want to be associated with a fascist. no i want to be associated with interesting quotes i think this particular time in american history including trump is one of the most important

periods of the history including the revolution and i say that carefully as historian because they're run out of options and what you see is donald trump is the end of the option of a corporate dominated system it may go to fascism it's not at fascism yet thankfully the possibility of something approaching fascist. particularly if there is violence particularly in the black community something of repression attack on civil liberties is certainly possible and could be very ugly could be very ugly when you have a system of power where a tiny group of people have all of it. you have 8 people who control half the wealth when you have a tiny group of people who have all the power you have to have some means to make sure the rest of us don't get together and take it back. you can see that the logos been superimposed on the other fighters face all these tweets reveal 'd about the thinking of the most powerful man in the world and his priorities and some would

argue his humanity by though it is obvious that trump is actually a bad negotiator this symbiotic relationship between trump and his so-called adversaries c.n.n. . b.c. it's kind of phony when you get right down to it i mean c.n.n. made a 1000000000 dollars last year cable news companies will steadily gain and make money during the course of the elections is and then as soon as the election happens their profits will drop off that did not happen with trump he gets 2 scoops of the no i scream with his chocolate cream pie instead of the single scoop for everyone else they've continued to make money they're making bank like never before and trump is definitely the reason everybody understands this. is the symptom is not the disease the system was already so corrupt and the anger towards the elites in both the democratic and republican party was so pronounced. that his vote garrity

actually gave voice to a large segment of the american public that was sick of being betrayed and lied to we know from 2008 that the segment of the population that has suffered the most economically are african-american households. because they can put forth a black face or a woman in functions is a brand and that's what obama was obama was a brand and that's why after he won in 2008 advertising age gave obama its top ward which was marketer of the year. i love you to i.

we go to work so you straight home.

i. know to. no shots. actually his belt. was crap. no risk to. quench your thirst for action. the thing is that when you have the up money printers in charge the act of printing all that paper money to hang around guys themselves really fills their head with dreams of it's fiat's of primacy and that's the ultimate form of supremacy is i print therefore i am and if you can pull the levers of political power with your fear of money if you can acquire assets with there if you have money it gives you that god complex that we have so much of around the world and countries then big

corporations and now it's all going to come crashing down. on. the corporate state doesn't mind having some you like trump around and sort of embarrassing but they don't really mind providing he brings the taxes down and providing that he gives them contracts and providing that he does what they want if he gets too annoying to get rid of it. it isn't clear to what extent he understands that he is a sort of. dancing puppet or dall is so good at the european shawn you're the greatest ratings when i'm on your show about people who spend a lot of time and money getting the supreme court to remove controls on spending

lections putting in place laws that have to do with how corporations run those people are watching carefully to see the extent to which is this boy or boy or not can we really get enough use out of. the most real. like you don't we have ever seen. together. we will make america stronger. we will make america will be again we will make america proud and we will make america safe again. before we can. get off. that there were one. and i went back there and i think last week out. there were

strapped down here so we got a house like 9 years ago. with a guy you know 9 years ago when i have been proposed only this day here because this close to his backyard. a every night. it seems there's no good news when it comes to the housing market sales of existing homes plunged 8.6 percent in november as compared to october and just 6 months 3 of the 5 biggest independent firms on wall street have now disappeared 9 years they are apparently went downhill broke apart their family their house. they work during the month. you. know.

i was woken by one day and i was shocked to be got here was it was still dark out though the sun had come up came up and i seen a guy just should not there kind of looked like he was sleeping or whatever so i just kept walking and the guy was up there and he was overdosed and. was dead he must have sat there all 90 must survive either frozen death already overdose itself kill them. destroy the needle and you know his arm and then everybody comes running by her like oh my god where'd you get that is everybody wants to go to this well you know i mean it's it's a pretty sad situation going on here right. i want to park i think i'm coming here walk i hear it. and. then they can see the white that we were the.

police are sacrificing. places that capitalism exploited and destroyed for profit. and left behind misery poverty environmental devastation. are you. with. i. think. what have you seen in terms of

patterns like over or let's say the last couple years are is up and stable or things getting worse wow would you describe i know within i've been here going on 9 years and over the past couple years b.r. feeding more families and i'm talking my husband the wife and the children 20 percent might be actually living on the street. the rest of them may be in low income housing or something like. $200.00 people might come in on the 1st day of the month and $400.00 people might come in on the last day that much but it's the people that are coming in towards the end of the month with the children and they tell us i'm here because i can't pay my electric bill and feed my kids why why do you think that is because they think that despite the fact that the economy has improved for a segment of the population the people that are at the bottom life really hasn't

changed and probably even got harder for them. and the rest are you know now you know that everybody calls madam says adams i graduated from our program got how many years ago at actually 2000 where were you in prison i was a southern state southers my son was but it was a right that's where all the eric white area guards are would one go and has leg bibi's hanging from a tree had seemed to be. yes were you doing before you want. i was selling drugs i was using drugs and i made the claim that was my lifestyle suddenly using drugs you go to prison you're going to come out there you might come out better you might come out crazy yesterday late come out was enough but you're going to change this place is. based because you see the people call me and some of these people would

come a hey used to do. teach is buy a few things they had good trade there but just between mental health and drugs yeah they grabbed him put him in the system. i. know how many kids i had 66 kids in my work and yes when he worked on a possible cart but can't do it people did what he saw how many hours a day he worked why was that were you in prison and what where which one on the south will you. please don't try to give me a very kind of hard you know nobody want to help you i mean.

you see cities that have been sacrificed youngstown ohio one of the steel capitals of the world. what these capitalists have done in cities like camden in cities. like youngstown in southern west virginia they're doing everywhere reconfiguring the global economy into an incredibly wealthy global oligarchy class don't take this the wrong way but you sound like a left wing nut bar i don't usually go on people defend a character assassination if you want to discuss issues that's fine but i mean the found by fox news and i don't go on look you had very eloquent writers people like

john ralston saul in canada who laid this out. with you know incredible lucidity and to somehow attack this critique by cohen someone. engages in the kind of trash talk and alluding to corporate i was alright well thank you so much for joining us here i don't know it will be well. thank you all for being here this very incredible group of world class business leaders that's what you are these c.e.o.'s are in some cases pulling compensation packages in the billions of dollars often defrauding their own shareholders so this is the bill right here that i consider this very much a bill for the middle class and a bill for jobs and jobs are produced through companies and corporations and you see that happening corporations are literally go it wild over this these corporations and banks what do they do with the tax cuts will be bought back their own stock $170800000000.00 that's how much in buybacks this year that is the

most seen this far into a calendar year ever why because if the stock goes up the compensation packages for the managers of these corporations goes up. it's not good for the economy it's not even good for their company. bridges are literally go it wild over the years. there's a business trying to harvest their harvesting themselves. the

62 year old wall street tycoon raked in nearly a half $1000000000.00 between 200-2007 the start of old school free markets low taxes low everything government doesn't provide anything for anybody kind of conservatism that is the policy preferences of the tiny 8 rich doods who own half the wealth and the you know layer of rich people underneath and it is not popular so you have to get it by other me and so you see things like voter suppression building more prisons and disenfranchising people who have spent time in you see gerrymandering you see all sorts of undemocratic practices that are used to make sure that people who might vote their own interests can't vote aren't represented when they do vote and then you just see people running like trump promising to bring jobs back to their states and then what they do once in

office is a big old bait and switch and it's this kind of insane attitude where they're just looting and stealing as fast as they can as everything collapsed. this used to be it was going to i'm just like lose a good friend. in florida i remember grandpa worked here all his life back in the sixty's i was a kid he used to tell me that one day this week this mill would close down his belly would cry i said there is no way it's too big it's huge it goes from miles this way to way miles now way and i says that it's never going to close and by golly his words were true this used to be the pride of the nation it's gone it's

gone along with this and hundreds of other mills just like it just one right here is where this was a proud nation. you can be bold with the yeah you like. is you'll be dia a reflection of reality. in

a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation whole community. are you going the right way or are you being so. direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maid in the shallows. a dark industry comes to life in los angeles every night. dozens of women sells their bodies on the streets many of them underage. los angeles police reveal a taste of their daily challenge if you're going to exploit for a child here in los angeles oh they were going to come out you would see officers

going undercover as 6 workers and customers to fight the 6 trades. join me every 1st day on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. the saying is that when you have me at my printers in charge the act of printing all that paper money to hang round eyes themselves really fills their head with dreams of it's fiat's of primacy that's the ultimate form of supremacy is i print therefore i am and if you can pull the levers of political power with their fear of money if you can acquire assets with their feet out money it gives you that god complex that we have so much of around the world and countries and big corporations

and now it's all going to come crashing down. in the headlines this monday the 27th of july now less than $100.00 days to go there until americans choose their next president of the country already played by more the months of racism and rest we assess the impact it's a one. a government recommended news website and british schoolchildren writes a damning article on russia tells its teenage audience that vladimir putin is the most dangerous man in the world and spain's slapped with fresh travel restrictions by several nations including britain and france after surging coronavirus cases.
