rush is underway and gonna. quit working as a flocking to the gold fields hoping to strike it rich. as. children a torn between gold. my family was very poor as i talked i was doing my best to get back to see which side will have the strongest appeal. to what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is clearly dramatic development only and going to exist i don't see that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. well chrome to exact night this is joe we're americans in america covering american

news are called foreign agents as many of you surely know fire is currently consuming large swaths of america some cities in california and oregon have had dark orange or red skies in the middle of the day due to the ash in the air you know if a few years ago someone had had asked me how will we know we're in a dystopian hell hole i would. win both the president and the sky or orange and the outdoors taste like burning while we're here we're here meanwhile in other states like utah are the wins this is real video have been so strong they're blowing over mack trucks in the middle of the highways. then of course there is the fact that there were just 5 hurricanes active in the atlantic ocean i had one then there are tens. or where last week the temperature

went from over 100 degrees fahrenheit to snowing in the span of one day. and stuff to say which just hope in future we have now reached maybe it resembles blade runner or the black cloud from the movie the road or or maybe the matrix future where the skies have been torched anyway that's a fun instagram debate right. but i'm not going to spend this segment talking about how awful climate change is you've heard most of that instead i want to delve into a beehive of the debate about big green and the so called efforts to fight climate change specifically the movie planet of the humans produced by michael moore the movie came out a few months ago racked up millions of views on you tube but was attacked and censored by a group of environmental activists led by filmmaker josh fox the part of planet of the humans that really matters is the part that reveals the greenwashing of

billionaires big banks and big corporations and unfortunately that greenwashing is being done by the likes of bill mckibben and 350 dot org and sierra club and a bunch of others in response to the film josh fox mckibben and others where. here's josh fox's actual response he and others said the film should be deleted from the internet and mckibben said that despite how the film portrays him he hasn't supported the incredibly hard full practices of like bio mass the act of cutting down all the trees and burning them he says for those in years and years. well maj blumenthal of the gray zone did a deep dive into all this and he found that less than 0 week after the nation published josh fox's attack on michael moore and planet of the humans the nation editor in chief hosted in a vet with mckibben there was sponsored by

a fund with major investments in several of wood to energy bio mass companies called domini impact investments the fund claims to hold investments in 68 companies that both impact forests and depend on them whether for forest derived products or ecosystem services ones to dominate holding is a would be energy company called resco which builds a large utility scale bio mass to energy plants according to its website now this is the actual ad. for the event with mckibben and there's the domini impact logo right there proudly sponsoring it through 50 dot org and mckibben have heavily promoted the idea of divesting from fossil fuels which is a great idea yes yes yes divest from fossil fuels i totally agree.

but then they recommend people reinvest it off like domany impact and things like the green century fund wow that sounds. the green century fund that kid can't get any more environmentally friendly that he says knowingly. planted in the human revealed however the green century funds portfolio has contained heavy investments in mining companies oil and gas infrastructure companies including an exploiter of tar sands the biofuel giant daniels midland mcdonald's coca-cola the world's leading plastic pollution company logging giant said big banks from bank of america to h.s.b.c. and this is not a fluke we see this again and again and again big green activism that sounds like it's doing good for the planet including al gore in the sunrise movement in sierra

club they then turn around and they say here's how to make a lot of money from capitalist investment while appearing to do good for the planet these are unfettered capitalist offenders who have figured out how to greenwash their image and unfortunately 350 dot org is not the exception it's perhaps the leader of this movement or one of them now i found this hard to believe myself i was like ah come on the kitchen is a good guy doing his best. then i read one of the most painful jaw dropping articles which truly tells you who bill mckibben is because it's not about him it's not someone saying here's what bill givens like it's his own writing just a year ago he wrote a column discussing the role of the pentagon in climate change most people know the pentagon is one of the largest causes of climate change in the world but mckibben said it's the pentagon does indeed use

a lot of energy maintaining an enormous military machine produces about $59000000.00 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually which is more than most of the nations of the world still this is not a particularly large share of the world's or even our nation's energy consumption schorer don't worry folks even though our warmer scene expels more greenhouse gases than most nations it's ok because it's not that much compared to the largest most aggressive polluter in the world the entire united states he goes on to write that the military has decreased their energy use in a variety of ways quote ele daylight's for instance make everyone more efficient did you just of. a trillion dollar a year pollution and death machine by saying. but they use l e

d lights. he asked and ted bundy recycle his a lot of carrots jeffrey dahmer put the parts of the victims that he didn't feel like eating in the compost bin he was a good guy. but climate hero bill mckibben isn't done yet it's beyond that the military spends much of its time in gauged in the exercise that the rest of american public and private life seems to strenuously avoid thinking hard about the future with an emphasis of what could go wrong what could cope. the us organized human murder machine is everything that could go wrong it is the most wrong and you want to support them as they think about what could go wrong down the road just ponder what they view as wrong the

military they view a decrease in the power of the american empire as wrong they view a decrease in american killing over seas as wrong they view a decrease in the pentagon's trillion dollar annual budget as very wrong. tasking them with telling us what might go wrong is like asking a blood thirsty hungry crocodile to come up with possible worst case scenarios. worst case scenario. i don't get to teach you right now like that would be really bad. but wait there's more the most hopeful thought of course is that a move the move by the pentagon and the broader society it might influence to bore sustainable energy supplies could not only reduce the risk of all out climate chaos

but it could also remove the most persistent justification for an outsized us military the protection of oil supplies in the middle east. that's the most hope full thought that the completely bloated outrages out of control you ask organized human death machine will use a few more alley do you lights and move to sustainable energy so that they can then do their killing by wind power which will require us to kill fewer people in the middle east. that's your best case scenario you shall see i'll pass this this is also the the most circular logic i've ever heard it's like you have to you let's say you had the anger it's yours you raised it you pay to keep it around it starts eating a bunch of people because it's me and it's angry. and rather than try and stop it

or even say this is a bad day or maybe put a rubber band around. instead doing that you say i'm supportive and it's killing wall slowly over the span of many years transferring it to a more you know to more vegetarian options and then eventually 20 years from now maybe it won't want to kill because it all like eggplant more. right take a bellow. so the point is other than bill mckibben is a maniac the point is these big green entities were either created by massive capitalist companies to greenwash their image to make you think they were ok or they've been captured by those entities either one of not good. check out max blumenthal's article at the gray zone for a lot more on this topic but look climate change and planetary destruction is the

inevitable and end result of market capitalism it always ends up there right now every human behavior is measured by how much it consumes how much it it makes in profit how much it produces there is no economic reward for being sustainable or healthful or peaceful so if any environmental organization is telling you the answer to climate change is to invest more or buy more or support big banks or big military then they are a sham they are frauds they are a con artist you can't talk about environmental destruction without talking about capitalism. but at least the orange skies are super prove me. come to you from washington d.c. the belly the bases redacted tonight.

well if you can notice take the news from by the completely fair super awesome trial of julian assange continues in the u.k. because he's clearly as dangerous as hannibal lector they're keeping him in a giant tic-tac container in the court room seriously he's in a plastic box because you never know when he might lurch out in public something that is totally true right now one journalist is on trial while being held in a maximum security prison in london another journalist same job bob woodward he's in a very different situation right now he's a hero to the liberal establishment right now because. he got trump to do interviews where in trump as always sounds like a way to get among other things trump admits he knew covert 19 was going to be

horrible or was horrible back in at least february but he played it down anyway and every time woodward puts out a book the mainstream media fan girls all over him they pay and man famed reporter bob woodward made headlines once again this past week with his new book about the trump white house and titled fair and the veteran editor and reporter for the washington post joins me now welcome joining me tonight is a 2 time pulitzer prize winner whose name is synonymous with investigative journalism his latest book on the trumpet administration is called rage please welcome back to a late show bob woodward will fight it out human being i'm going to name my kid bob woodward so what's the difference between a liberal hero journalist bob woodward and dastardly evil villain cannibal pedophile julian astonish who hillary clinton famously said we should drone bomb

well i'd say most of the indictments against the sons are for obtaining and disclosing classified information from the u.s. government liberal superhero bob woodward would never do such a thing like this i have rarely seen a significant story were there is in the document often you can't get it because it's classified but it's that they are if you can get somebody to assist you who will indeed help you with your story the hardest documents are intelligence documents and they have them in print. you see what what what had happened was. oh. i've got it bob woodward is a hero and joy to science is an evil doer because when bob woodward gets classified documents people just think to send them to him this is like here whereas jewel in a sound probably went in pressured people to give him the documents he said why

what why won't you give it to me what do you chicken. that's probably a woodward would never do that documents really just come in the mail out of the blue you have to go to human beings and say come on let's talk let's. not the truth about this. so the guy that has the entire mainstream media licking his shoes has been involved in obtaining and publishing classified information. the only real difference is that nothing wiki leaks has ever published has been proven false whereas the outlets woodward works with like the washington post new york times they publish false information all the guy that's their bag baby they said there were weapons of mass destruction in iraq they said kim jong un killed his girlfriend with like alligators and she was still alive

they published 16 anti bernie sanders stories in the span of 16 hours while trying to sink his candidacy they said china imprison a 1000000 we based on extrapolating from the accounts of 8 people. 8 they are out of garbage but when necessary. they bend over for the national security state dads the real gift if you're watching this on you tube go get the full episode at portable dot t.v. also i've been doing a ton of web exclusive videos you can get them all you tube dot com slash redacted tonight and you can grab my book at least camp book and dive come up right back with more.

you know the economy is a manmade structure. china's got engineers financial engineers economic engineers. thinkers. plus a 1st that they've built over time what happens when the foundation of our brains what happens when this structure collapses what happens when the stimulation goes away. welcome back i'm still only camp as a 4 years of being vilified by our president wasn't enough undocumented immigrants

are dealing with very high rates of covert related job loss which means it's a great time for predatory lenders to get in on at least we can be thrilled for them right. for more we go to our troops barbara daggers bought at natalie mcgill. with everyone finances in the toilet due to covert 19 overdue rent and bills the only thing that would stop predatory lending now is to launch a reboot of to catch a predator where chris hansen tells you ever proved you for a high interest loan you can't repay to. perhaps no one needs that reboot that happened more than citizens who identify as hispanic or latino people who've been disproportionately victimized by job loss home loss covert 19 infection and politicians trying to speak their language for

a mosque infamously on yom my dress on seo does it. in a graphic as planned. with that would be happy to take some questions yeah actually i'd like to know which knives he used to butcher that but there was wonder who purposely marketed itself as one that understood the needs of that community more than any other a lender known as opportunity which operates in 12 states including california and texas and among the ny largest counties in texas alone opportune has sued borrowers after they fell behind on their payments more than 40 $7000.00 times from may 26 team through july of this year that's 30 lawsuits per day on average 30 lawsuits a day from $26.00 team through now seems a bit excessive. until you realize we need the files at least that many

a day to unto our fraction of the harm this it ministration has done to our air our water our human rights our mental health and after the republican national convention this woman's mental health. not exactly because the numbers are even worse in california or among 20 of its counties opportune filed more than 30000 collections lawsuits in 2019 and at least 14000 through the 1st half of 2020 when the coronavirus was whipping our nation. when your company relies on the fact that a bulk of their clientele is undocumented and unlikely or frankly terrified to lawyer up it's not exactly fair to name it after the spanish word for opportunity and then limit their opportunities and false advertising that's like allstate

insisting you're in good hands but leaving the entire company in the hands of the mayhem do which is a bad idea even if he is a sexy man who may be good with his hands and other weights. but going after these customers and court seemed especially agree just give an opportune boasted $600000000.00 in revenues last year more than 90 percent of that from the exorbitant interest rates customers pay on their loans and it's even worse when you factor in that opportune c.e.o. raul vazquez whose salary was 3 and a half 1000000 dollars and 2019 was actually a member of the consumer advisory board for the consumer financial protection bureau he's engaging in the very behavior the bureau is meant to stop. and based on that criteria that means he's. trying to run for a white house cabinet position next year i mean my guess would be the treasury

passed away unexpectedly earlier this month you may recall that i interviewed him on redacted i pay more than once along with his partner margaret flowers he founded the awesome news outlet popular resistance we get a lot of our stories from popular resistance and he fought for so many noble causes that i certainly can't even list them all here most recently you might remember that he and margaret were half of the last 4 people who held the space of the venezuelan embassy here in washington d.c. they did so at the invitation of the actual owners of the building nicolas maduro the venezuelan government the rightfully elected government as president from googs tried to take over the place the building they held that space for over 37 days. his wall attacked and harassed by an endless number of pro military pro crew awful human beings locked inside ability with no electricity

a little food delivery and for some time not even water kevin and margaret david adrian along with allies outside fought back against cruelty and belligerence armed only with love and solidarity but that is one of the many protests kevin organized with an unflinching power and devotion yet also a seemingly endless supply of heart and optimism he always knew we would win eventually no matter the effort it would take he knew we would win and he had fun along the way always laughing always excited about tomorrow excited about the next campaign the next fight the next chance to stop injustice or gain any quality i 1st got to know him in the lead up to occupy wall street back in 2011 and margaret had created a a similar occupation called stop the machine for october 6th in washington d.c. they all timidly occupied freedom plaza for many months several months kevin zeese

also led the fight against the trains was if it partnership the largest corporate power grab ever conceived and guess what all of us fighting against that monstrosity we won the t.p. was crushed. kevin along with others led the battle to save net neutrality and they actually helped keep it for several years longer than the corporate titans had planned. he and margaret have fought against pipelines against dirty energy projects against wars and murder and empire and colonialism and racism and greed of every different brand and category they've been tackled arrested pepper sprayed beaten and charged more times than i can count most recently kevin was working on campaigns for the green party and for fighting to save julian a son i know i'll never meet another kevin zeese to fill the void he's

irreplaceable. but his ideas and his righteous rage his tenacity his zest for life and his optimistic revolution will live on in so many of us. i want to leave us with some of his own words here's the incomparable kevin zeese so we need. you know where we want to go and look for artists to get that we don't know if this is really dorky is what we need to do if we're going on educated and mobilize. mark to the future of this country or see different opportunities come together and talk about it on the missing directions for these you know i want all of you have an occupy protest i still want you for the occupy movement because this is not just what i call the space is not a democracy and take it down take our people and one power from money

that's just that's why we're all here the problem is it's going to be. there are ways to donate to kevin's causes at popular resistance dot org thank you kevin thank you for everything we'll keep fighting. really q sneer those who really can show you.
