the trail. when suddenly find themselves worlds apart we just a little common ground. hello and welcome to redacted tonight. camp today i talk with one of my favorite journalists kevin dolla who writes for shadow proof dot com and some of the best coverage of the continued persecution of julia saunders but we'll also be talking

about a lot of other things such as the person trying to unseat debbie wassermann schultz and to be on a den of fide federal agents that are kidnapping people in portland oregon there's a lot to get to also naomi kara vonnie will bring us the weekly offensive and natalie mcgill has some mind blowing old news about perhaps the only american to ever get paid reparations for slavery but 1st here's my interview with kevin just kevin thanks so much for joining me you know this for having me so you're doing excellent journalism and one of the topics that i think you're one of the best on is julian assigns so i wanted to start off with talking about him obviously there's always developments in what's going on with him the continued persecution of joined us on recently they added extra indictments more indictments they added on a few weeks ago i mean they were already 17 indictments 17 or 18 by the justice

department against him what the hell of a adding on and what's the point of. they're just window dressing trying to make their case look better but it really rests upon this conspiracy theory that they've never been able to prove that julian assad and recruited chelsea manning to work for wiki leaks and she was inside the pentagon systems acting as some kind of spy and truly wasn't a military whistleblower and in effect the reason why we saw this superseding indictment where they're now criminalizing not just julian assigns but it's an escalation because they name weekly leaks staff in the indictment and they're suggesting that they're going to go after criminalize those people as well i believe why they did this is because back in march they had to dismiss the grand jury that was impaneled by president barack obama to destroy wiki leaks and then it lay dormant no it was awoken this beast was awoken by

a jet beauregard sessions when he was the attorney general and then put to work by the trumpet ministration and they added this indictment because they were unable to get chelsea manning to testify and they were unable to get jeremy hannant another person involved in an activity that adventure led to if you exposing the strap for files as so because they need to make their case look better as they pursue this extradition they're now escalating this indictment but there's no as you mentioned there's no new charges it's all still very serious 17 charges of violating the espionage act and then the one that makes it seem like he might be happier but they have no evidence that he was really engaged in hacking the or conspiring to hack against the pentagon computer systems where does the extradition process stand right now i mean they're still fighting through what bring him back to the united states and not back bring him to the united states you know is it is it looking

likely that they'll honestly succeed in. extraditing a publisher who isn't american has never operated in america and they're going to extradite him to america to be tortured is if there really a chance this that could happen. they would seem to have a favorable magistrate court judge in the u.k. which shows the 1st obstacle you gotta have someone who can start increasing the wheels for ia so you can make this afternoon has been as barrettes are and so far she's had complete and total contempt for the human rights of julian assange she said you're going to stay in the glass box at the back of this courtroom and you're not going to be allowed to sit with your attorneys because you have complained that he's not able to follow along with the process this is a man who was charged with jumping bail because he saw political asylum and the u.k.

ecuador sweden and the united states collectively have made a mockery out of the institution of political asylum and they have to treat him like he's some super villain and keep him in this maximum security facility where he could die before this extradition hearing is even completed because he's vulnerable as hell that period while he was in the ecuador embassy. yeah he is greatly at risk of catching coven 19 considering he's already not very healthy. and and speaking of that it's an easy segue to another whistleblower who also is in prison and also is fearing covert 19 reality winner she is the one who leaked the documents to the intercept and then was quickly caught and now is imprisoned as well you're been writing about her situation tell us where that stands yet have been covering her because it shows how the trying to administration continue what obama started with his war on whistleblowers and and just for the record there are

3 notable individuals who have been punished under the espionage act or face cases from donald trump and i don't think a lot of people know who these individuals are but outside of reality when are there's cherry allbery who also provided documents to the intercept about f.b.i. profiling of informants essentially and the racist aspects of it and then there's danielle and her health who provided it also allegedly just documents to jeremy scahill on drones and the way in which the obama administration was engaged in targeted assassinations at the this massive complex as a knife fight in reality when terrorists stuck in this facility that the bureau of prisons operates in fort worth texas we've seen these spikes happening in the last 2 weeks particularly in texas because you've got politicians who deny science and don't think it's a threat and since april she's been saying this would happen there would be

a spike and appealed for compassionate release she's more than halfway through her sentence and now you've got nearly $2200.00 or more prisoners in this facility in fort worth that have the virus so exactly what she said would happen has happened and now they're retaliating against her and i fear it's because of a story that i wrote last week about what was going on and. i published some details from her family on what is going on in this facility and also highlighted some local news reporting on the facility and the bureau of prisons instead of dealing with the matter and releasing people is choosing to just retaliate against reality winner and it can be very cruel to these women in all of these prisons you get placed in solitary confinement or you get completely left for dead by the bureau of prisons if you get the fires moving on recently you wrote about another federal offense federal but another court shooting down the ag gag laws that have

been you know by state to state they've been trying to pass these laws that basically won't allow people to film inside a factory farming is where factory farming where the most disgusting horrific situations anyone could ever imagine i mean anyone i've ever heard who's actually seen what goes on in there walks out and at the minimum says they're never eating factory farmed meat again many of them become vegetarians or something but anyway talk about the laws. well they may even be puking right on the scene trying to digest what they're just right witness no i think they're like this is a success story in some ways because you've seen several states where the courts have shot this down and they've recognized it for what these groups have advocated and you have people like the animal legal defense fund that have led the charge in challenging these laws and they say that it will chill whistleblowing

a middle path to freedom of speech freedom of expression and also they're not hiding that they want to be able to have undercover activists go in and do these investigations and then release details of corruption or animal cruelty exception about how our industrial farm system works in the united states and the judges have bought these and most states and i think to the theme of hacks which we have going in the segment you're basically these states they're government mostly republicans which i think these laws come from ally which is that they were a council that drafts these really extreme corporate laws that are usually rather crude by their design and there's no reason for this law and the judges are finding that there's no reason to have this law because you have trespassing laws on the books in states so to pass this law to stop people from trespassing on farms

allegedly it doesn't pass the smell test because you know immediately that there's something else behind why they're passing this law. yeah well it is good to see the least a bunch of them have been shot down because we should see we should see all of this we should see how our food is made if we choose if we so choose we should see what's going on in our government i mean we need a lot more transparency and all of these things are aimed at going in the reverse speaking of parents i saw you tweeted about these mass unidentified militarized federal agents that have been kidnapping armed protesters in portland oregon now since the initial kind of uproar over that we now know that they were under the d.a. jaspar been homeland security the head of the h.s. has tried to act like this is perfectly normal and you know he literally said like on marta cop cars are common but this seems like we're speeding up kind of down

that path towards fascism and i am i overstating that. no i don't think so and i'm terribly concerned because the latest news reporting i'm hearing from chicago is that there could be around 150 agents deployed in the city of chicago this weekend through the weekend and that chicago might be the next site for what happened in portland and you've got multiple cases of people just being snatched they're not told why they're snatched beyond the fact that the videos look terrifying because you see these people in fatigues come out grab people throw them in a van and the van drives off and you don't know what just happened 5 there's this reality that nobody has told why they're being picked up you sit down when you're in custody and they try to trap you into incriminating yourself they you decide that you don't want to provide any information you ask for a lawyer then they realize that they can't mess around with you so then you get let

go into 3 hours but it's all over the guise of protecting federal property which is a total ruse a total scam on their part and as it turns out what they're really doing is they're driving the streets looking for anyone black they're profiling people you know sure they're like can we find somebody who we think funded by george soros and tossed anti pet into the fans and then they continue to get like i think hacks and this whole theme of like conspiracies like i feel like so much of our government right now these days functions upon these conspiracy ifs that they wove in these fantasies that they've conjured in their minds about who these people are on the streets and he was engaged in whistle blowing and it's very trip troubling that they're going to expand this to other cities beyond portland and try to enforce the laws and this is an agency of the department of homeland security that shouldn't

even exist as a no reason for its existence. we have the n.s.a. we have the f.b.i. we have the cia doing foreign stuff we have no reason for the department of homeland security and they. and i can they can do basically anything under the guise of national security they just say national security and you can't even ask what they're doing it's totally ridiculous we'll have one minute left but i wanted to get to jen perlman real quick she's running against debbie wasserman schultz down in florida arguably one of the most hated and entrenched democrats in the entire democratic party dede of us has as she is known has succeeded in kind of scamming her way to victory each and every time she faces a challenger against him going over they basically just said she won and then destroyed all of the ballots so there could be no recount anyway does gen pearlman have a shot here and what makes her unique as a politician in one minute here. you know she's got

a lot of good indorsements from presses and the folks who were behind backing sanders bernie sanders his campaign and i think she's very strong i was impressed that she's someone who's willing to speak about dismantling the military industrial complex and sure credit even though debbie wassermann schultz and her ilk ate her she's very strong on the issue of venezuela saying that she's not going to be beholden to white rich venezuelans in your district and she cares about the lower class middle class working class people who are from latin america who actually. or see things a different way in the country so she's really to stand up against the special corporate interests that debbie wasserman schultz has cozied up to so much throughout her 16 years of being involved in representing people in florida yeah corporations and debbie wassermann schultz are definitely bedfellows kevin thanks so much everybody can follow your work and shadow proof dot com really appreciate

love my home i love cold weather i like the culture i like the history i like everything about it almost as much. as i know that. i am. russian fama. welcome back i'm still late camp now we go to correspond in a only care of ani for the weekly offensive. thankfully for some this pandemic has been an early christmas while brick and mortar businesses were shutting their doors the biggest corporate consulting firm when into sales mode and received millions in no bid government contracts this is what pro publica reports as

a bonanza mckinsey is making more than $100000000.00 vising on the government's bumbling coronavirus response so you want to advise on a virus so mckinsey are you doctors or medical researchers you know well are you c.p.r. certified. no not even that could you be soothsayers ok you're soothsayers but have no tarot cards were. $100000000.00 is just on what contracts are public now states such as california new jersey and major cities such as it lancet chicago and los angeles and government agencies some of the health of mckinsey voodoo this includes a v.a. which relaxed mask requirements for health care workers and fema who ordered $10000000.00 in testing kits it's now warning states not to use.

except i hate when you order something on line and it doesn't fit there or it's contaminated medical equipment never buying the vintage animas again that's for sure. so what the hell does a consultant do if there aren't doctors warlocks or which is a top official in florida's miami dade county wrote basically they're compiling data for us and putting it in pretty for men in sort of the meta going to reopening which confuse the already confused floridians with way too many flags as much as there are those profiteering from the plague there are those cashing in on the movement for racial justice there's been a boom in that diversity consulting business the leading anti-racist guru is the author of white for gillett e robin d'angelo a corporate consultant who leads anti-bias workshops her book is the number one bestseller on amazon right now when she ironically is

a white lady profiting off of racism now americans simply didn't want to learn about race from a black person that's uncomfortable they wanted to speak with racism manager the book has become the bible of white guilt and it says loony as it is dangerous pseudoscience the original sin of america and every white american is racism according to d'angelo when the cure to solving racism is to have every white person look inward and then bark on a lifelong project of confronting their racial bias ease and noble endeavor and after all it is an at home activity the c.d.c. recommends several hours of soul crushing white guilt today as much as i love the idea of monetizing white guilt or writing a check for white privilege this anti-racism training manual leads one to buy into a whole new system of white supremacy where white people are the only ones with

agency and black americans are no more than victims plus new research suggests that anti-bias training can backfire because training whether consciously or subconsciously activates stereotypes and wait for jodi is in the end a book. about how to make certain educated white readers feel better about themselves white readers or white guilt seminar attendees will know they've done something meaningful by examining how much of a as white people suck and then decide they don't need to do anything really tangible to help anyone volunteer as raises the profit of white guilt d'angelo says in her book wanting to jump over the hard personal work and get a solution is a foundation of white fragility solutions are racist and action is racist how convenient for corporate america and companies like amazon that they don't need to think about discriminatory hiring practices or a living wage for black employees racism can be solved in getting all the white

people in the room and having them sell flagellate so much that they like it the anti-racism consulting industry also serves a more sinister role in keeping real corporate civil rights violations hidden holding an anti-racism training however ineffective can be illegal shield against the civil rights lawsuit and you have to mire mckinsey d'angelo and all the other grifters taking advantage of these current crises the rise of hiring consultants to deal with these things says more about the government and companies who hire them they just want to answers on what to do are they the right answers who know and frankly who cares if you do i think you might have an answer bias and finally let's take a minute to learn about perhaps the only american to actually get paid reparations for slavery correspondent natalie mcgill has the mind blowing old news.

there to bring up the subject of reparations for slavery around white people and you begin to feel like you're kreg from the movie friday. when his friend smokey says well you might not always but if you made an argument against reparations that you had nothing to do of slavery or that it's impossible to achieve then you may have heard the story of henrietta would a former slave who in $1870.00 sued for reparations and won until now i would have said that is about as likely to happen as washington d.c. is football team changing its racist name but with a team name change on the horizon it looks like these pigs will fly born into slavery in kentucky between 18181820 would with eventual we sold during her teenage years to a frenchman named williams the road who lives with his wife jane in new orleans but

williams returned to france without jade who vento was with her to cincinnati ohio where she legally registered her as a free woman and 1848 but just those rich kids fight over their parents' inheritance james' daughter josephine consider what her rightful property and josephine enlisted the help of a deputy sheriff in covington kentucky 7 you'll have ward to kidnap her and return her to the south even once employer a boarding house keeper named for backup boyd was in on the kidnapping offering to make sure wood was on a carriage ride that would stop at a location where they were waiting to capture her so to kind of quote the late d.c. mayor marion barry the set her up a fire at the ohio courthouse for would earn her freedom destroyed her freedom papers and her captor seized her only copy even early lawsuit an innkeeper filed on

her behalf was tossed which gave 71 board the freedom to sell her to slave owner gerard brandon in mississippi a man who was determined to keep wood and hundreds of other slaves in bondage well after the sun. the war after more than a dozen years of re captivity would now a mother earn her freedom again in 866 and eventually return to the north and with the help of a lawyer whose family hired wood as a domestic worker she sued settling ward in $870.00 for $20000.00 in reparations and a case that historian w. caleb mcdaniel noted would drag on for 8 years due to a number of obstacles those obstacles that daniel told the sony a magazine or that the words lawyer stalled claiming that her failed ante bellum suit for freedom proved his innocence they also said that war is a legit crimes had occurred too far in the past

a recurring argument against reparations and similar award i recall another kentucky man who looks and sounds like he just bombed an audition for the colonel in a k.f.c. ad making that exact same argument about reparations 150 years later yet despite the odds and an all white male jury henrietta wood furniture and 878 say we the jury in the above entitled cause do fine for the plaintiff and assess her damages in the premises at $2500.00 of course knowing that she asked for $20000.00 and only received $2500.00 is like asking for a drum kit and just getting the 6. or asking for a frazier reunion t.v. special where the only character who shows up is the dog. reparations won't erase the atrocities of slavery and it won't fix the resulting systemic racism that black

and brown people and dirt today and some cities are trying to address that in mid july asheville north carolina city council voted unanimously to back slavery reparations in the form of community investment any nuanced approach to writing these wrongs won't just be about distributing money it will be about changing the laws that create a system of inequality because there's no amount of times you can bend mill your black brand out a white pill that will change that. but don't stop enrolling your black friends now we need protest post of war money and beer money and a new dress because this one has stains on its name this is natalie mcgill for redacted tonight and that's the show watch out for a brand new episode redacted tonight tomorrow night also get full episodes of redacted anytime you want to grab the free app portable t.v.

shots no. action just felt he. was trapped no arrests were. points your thirst for action. there was competition or free market competition in drugs in america the price of a love that's the beauty of free market capitalism the fact they don't have free market capitalism for drug prices in america shows you have an entrenched cola gob only or monopoly and they gallantries price gouging and he's right so you try to dismantle that but without that kind of premium for these drugs for these companies that however i don't see how they're going to command the multiples they do on the stock market so he's he's got it that's the thing he's either going to take a 50 percent hit on the stock market or is going to lose

a lot of people that need the drugs. districts across the country are announcing their plans for how students will be educated this fall as the world continues to battle with the poorest 19 pandemic of bitterly divided issues the debate over health students to return to school involves not only parents and school staff but all members of the community it seems there is only one thing everyone can agree on there is no good option and every choice has a cost this fall hollywood seems to be dealing with at the cost of close cinemas and production shut down but this is not just about entertainment for you and i.
