ah with dominating the world if some of the west has put a stake in its game. but this game is certainly dangerous, bloody. and i would say that a lot america and star assessment of quote, the white game against the world in a speech at the annual session of the valve discussion club, the russian leader address a number of global issues and information. terrorist u. s. senate candidate is blacklisted by ad for suggesting a diplomatic solution to be praying more. we spoke to diane or her so i don't think it's, you know, the wisest thing to do. if you're interested in security to start throwing face the

terms around information, the terrorists playing the blame game as canadian beliefs claim there were poor and actors involved in the truckers protest. last winter, the canadian security intelligence service director says no evidence of foreign influence was found. we take a closer look at the story with the mom out to the world. this is our international. i'm rachel blevins and these are the top stories. this our a bloody, dangerous and dirty game, that's how vladimir putin has described, the west current international policy. he was speaking at the annual session of the vol by international discussion club here in moscow, where he address a number of major global issues. here are some of the highlights that goes away in reserve, but the so called collective west. it's a nominal term, of course,

since there's no unity there in the past few months, it has made a number of steps towards escalation. west, not miram, dominating the world is some of the west has put at stake in its game. but this game is certainly dangerous, bloody. and i would say dirty 5th of your spiritual living we are seeing not the systemic, but a doctrinal crisis of the american style, neo liberal model of world order. they simply have nothing to offer the world except for their continued had gemini at the, when you send their prayer. today's universal rule to the west is to turn everybody into instruments used to achieve its goals. and if anyone doesn't want to become such an instrument, they are targeted with sanctions, or even face organized coups. and if none of this works, the ultimate goal is to destroy them. oksana boy go host of artes worlds apart, brings as the main points of the russian president speech is that main idea was

that the current arrangement of power in the world, in which western elite deemed themselves to be both the leaders of the world and in which they approach the rest of their world as a resource base as something that is i came to that old property was unsustainable . not only because the west failed and what it assumes itself to be that is the leadership. it failed to address any number of global issues. bead climate change globally, the quality of food and energy prices. in fact, let me put in suggested that it was through the very short sighted policies. political policies of western elite that those crises were exacerbated, but he went even further than this. he said that we have come to a point in mobile development and human development when countries around will no longer want to be held in servitude to the interest of the powers that be at

those interests. according to him. serv. not even the western societies according to logic pollutant western leads everything that they do ultimately serves their own very, very narrow interests. and he believes that this is going to continue for some time . he predicted that the next decade is probably going to be one of the most dangerous decades since world war 2. nevertheless, he tried to reassure both the vol die audience. and i think global audience is that russia understands his responsibility. and before the rest of the world, that it will act responsibly, 1st and foremost as a, as a nuclear nation. and that it wants to secure and nothing more than its own security interest security and national interest meet you. when you go to then you go. if we have never said anything about the possible use of nuclear weapons by russia, but only hinted statements made by the leaders of western countries,

and i do not my chance however, that we have published special service data about the fact that some kind of incident with the so called dirty bomb is being prepared is easy to make. we even know where it is being prepared. remnants of nuclear fuel have to be slightly transformed and technology and ukraine allows that to be done. it is m put in place and it explodes. and then there will say russia has done it lot on nuclear strike, but we don't need to do it neither politically nor militarily. he said that russia is interested in a fair and a peaceful world. and one way, the major way of achieving that is through the respects you global diversity. he said that they would benefit from this symphony of civilization from the symphony of cultures. and this sort of unification that the west tries to impose on the rest of the globe. arguing that its way is the only way,

was not only abusive and disrespectful all her other cultures, but also extremely exploited. if he said that right now, the world is prime for liberating itself from the old servitude of the western civilization. old, the western powers, we good as soon as the benefits of globalization began to profit, not only western countries, but also major agent states, the west immediately change or even abolish the rules that was such arrogance has been in place in colonial times when they considered all peoples 2nd cause, but themselves to they, new centers of power are appearing, take asia or africa. yes, africa is a poor continent as of yet, but it does have great potential and look at latin america. all these countries will continue their development. he also made a very interesting and a repetitive point that russia was not fighting against the west. it was not actually even fighting against western leave. and that it, it had

a lot of our allies in the was specifically, was asked to whether he has any message for, you know, ordinary people in western countries in he found that, yes, people in the west ordinary people do, i need to know that russia is not the enemy, russia not trying to take anything from them. it's only once you have the right to develop according to its own culture, according to its own vision, and in balance and fairness with other countries. to go further in depth on this. let's go live now to scott ritter, former us marine corps intelligence officer. scott is great to have you on the program today. now, in his speech poodle pointed out that there is no point in using nuclear weapons in ukraine. what reaction from the west do you expect regarding this statement, and will it be enough to possibly stop the speculation on nuclear conflict?

know the, the whole, i mean the, the genesis of the discussion of russia using a nuclear weapon. brain is derived from the narrative. that's being promulgated the russians losing the special military operation that rushes in desperate situation that russia will have to escalate by using the nuclear weapon. this is not reality . it's part of the process of shaping perceptions in the west because there's flagging support for going into for billions of dollars into what is seen as a futile in failing efforts in ukraine. so we have to create the perception of a russian threat to justifies this. but the, the russian president rightfully pointed out with the reality is russian doctrine doesn't permit this. russian doesn't need to do this. but again, the west isn't interested facts, right now, western mainstream media, which is about promulgating misinformation,

designed to shape perceptions amongst the american people that will allow them to continue to support policies that poor billions of dollars into ukraine as well. and you know, it's interesting because speaking of not only the media coverage, but also a possible escalation, that really is not getting a lot of coverage has been the repeated warnings from russian officials that ukraine may use a dirty bomb as a provocation, which president mentioned during that speech, now, what do you expect the warnings to be taken seriously here? or do you think that we're going to continue to see more of the same from the west in response? there's 2 levels of response. one is of course, the information warfare, the propaganda level, which rejects the russian contention is projects the russian assertions. no indeed . so far as to say, it's not your crane. that's my fairy and a dirty bomb, but rushes 30. then there's the people who actually received the phone call from

the minister to trent signal short they sat up and listen because of russian defense ministers don't make casual phone calls. they don't engage in propaganda exercises when they talk about real threats, real concerns, and the fact that he made these phone calls, i can guarantee you the people on the receiving. then listen to what he had to say . when the phone hung up, turn to the people in the room and said, let's find out more about this. and the other thing is they made phone calls, new train. jane. what are you doing? are you doing inhibition? if you are doing this, stop it. and then, of course, was the entire purpose of the phone call. the intelligence may be bad, it may not be, i was an intelligence officer. it's not perfect, but it was sufficient enough that the russians concerned enough to have their, their, their minister of defense make a phone call. and i believe at some level, the west listen to that. there's acted on that and will this will result in the

mitigation of this, this particular crisis. yeah, that is certainly the hope. and now you mentioned all of the ways that such a provocation would not benefit russia. so why do you think that there is still so much speculation about the russian nuclear threat ukraine in western media? specifically, ukraine is in desperate straits. they're losing this conflict. i don't think there's anybody right now. we can look at what's happening and say, oh no, this is, this is good. ukraine's brain has the momentum. ukraine is moving forward on every level. ukraine's losing this conflict, which means that there's, there's flagging support in the west. ukraine is desperate to get the west to intervene and save it. and that's why i think we're seeing these, these provocations. it's designed to create a scenario that project russia is such

a threat of warrants the immediate necessity of western intervention. so we're going to see more of this as ukraine becomes more and more desperate for russia did with the dirty bomb. and what i believe russia will do going forward is to put west the west on notice that they should deal with reality not perception because the consequences of trying to act on perception as if it were reality could be dire for all parties. certainly a lot of state care, former us marine court intelligence officer. scott ritter. thank you for your time and insight. thanks. read me. last winter, the canadian convoy protests made headlines. as hundreds are truckers opposed cobra mandates. canadian police have claimed that 4 and actors, including russia has been involved in the saga that canadian security intelligence service, however, has allegedly painted a different picture, are to fear l. isabel takes up the story, funded by far right extremist,

with russian influence. those were some of the claims suggested by the ontario provincial police about the protest led by canadian truckers in february against mandatory vaccination canadian p. m. trudeau even invoked an emergency act stating a high level national threat posed by the protesters. ah, the occupations are illegal. there are a threat to our economy. the relationship with trading partners ah,

turns out canadian and peas are now demanding answers the, an inquiry as to why those claims on the security threat were widely different between what the o p p commissioner told the committee in march about the protest and what it's had of intelligence recently said, on one end, the documents in a confidential police intelligence report warned that the freedom movement protests were a long term security threat, and that foreign adversaries may have been behind the protest. previous reporting noted controversial political figures in the us voicing support for the blockades and ottawa, in windsor, and foreign funding of the auto blockade. much of it from the u. s. the recent reporting regarding the possible use of bogus social media accounts by for an actors overseas to promote the blockade suggest another external influence in domestic affairs. but the documents made public by the inquiry contradicted these

statements with the director of the canadian security intelligence service c, as i s saying that there were no foreign actors financing the convoy in another report. the o. p. p. intelligence analyst had flagged an interview that an ontario and p p and convoy supporter gave to r t. r t. formerly russia today is reported to be a russian government control platform for directing disinformation at the west to benefit the strategic foreign policy objectives of the russian state. but c, s i s, disagreed with the prevented all operational intelligence bureaus. view that the protests fit the minimum threshold to be labeled a potential national security threat. yet deputy m p. krista freelance that a dangerous president and froze bank accounts based on that claim using the unsubstantiated specter of foreign influence to quash legitimate public domestic descent. and when some republicans in the us raise their voices in support of the

freedom convoy. they were accused by canadian politicians of interference themselves. we need to be vigilant about potential for an interference. whatever statements may have been made by some foreign official are neither here nor there were canadian, we have our own set of laws, we will follow them to stop the funds that are flowing in from the united states. very clearly for foreign interference. it seems like canada was looking for anybody to blame for an organic public discontent with the current mandates and the expected scapegoat was, of course, russia given canada support of ukraine in this current crisis with russia a. i don't know if it's far fetched to ask but, but there is concern that russian actors could be continuing to fuel things. remember the freedom convoy? well, it has telegram channels in the collective audience of about $48000.00 participants . but instead of posting about trucks and vaccines,

a lot of the posts are now saying stuff like, mess this one claims news invading ukraine to destroy us run bio weapons law. and yes, we are t, we're later blame for covering this protest more than the mainstream media who are flat out ignoring the freedom convoy, protest in favor of accusing russia or trying to tie it to neo nazis. even as canada itself continued funding ukraine's as of extremists with weapons. and when a researcher analyzed the hours major for an outlet spec covering the truck, convoy over the course of $11.00, r t came out on top. so if canadian intelligence has admitted that neither russia nor the u. s, nor anyone else is to blame. who is now we're finally getting to a point where things like courts and other proceedings like the emergencies acting, where you can actually take a look back and evaluate what happened. i think the sudden, 1st of support we saw for the protest came from the fact that it came after 2 years

of covey restrictions, 1st law downs than vaccine mandates. people lost their jobs, their livelihoods. and there was a lot of frustration that people felt like they weren't being heard. and i think what started as a, her con, voice worked out and became a focal point for those feelings. in fact, this was just a massive grass roots protest by average canadians. meanwhile, the united states, a candidate for the senate, has been blacklisted by the ukrainian government and called in information terrorist for a narrative that flies in the face of washington plans for ukraine. and i do want to better answer because the state department is funding it. i've been on the website for the center for countering disinformation, which has my name on the list and says, i am an information terrorist who should be charged with war crimes. and that does

put me in danger. people. 8 on it have been attacked and killed. i got a package today in the mail that she had rattling noises in it that said something about you crane. and i had to call the police because i didn't know what was in it . they are killing people. we spoke to diane sar herself an independent candidate for the us senate in the state of new york on what it felt like to be put on a traders list. so far as i know, knock on wood know, american has been attacked in the united states on this list, but there is only about an hour from my office, a camp for a band arest youth. so i don't think it's, you know, the wisest thing to do if you're interested in security to start throwing these terms around information, terrorist things like that. senator schumer has refused to answer inquiries both

from myself and a former un weapons inspector, scott ritter, were both new york state residents. were both on this list and rid or raised the question. given that i'm an opponent of schumer is this some indirect way of silencing me, at least for putting me in dangerous. we have a narrative which frankly is wearing thin in the united states. and i think. busy overwhelming sentiment in the united states is that this war must be ended diplomatically with legitimate security concerns of both russia and ukraine addressed congress in the united states. frankly, as largely unaware of how overwhelmingly opposed americans are to our involvement in this conflict. and the more that we can get that message across to them, the more i think we have a chance of getting the policy changed. this comes as political consensus over age

. ukraine is under strain with midterm elections, fast approaching democratic party, congress members have retracted a recent letter urging joe biden to engage with russia and direct peace talk. the chair of the progressive caucus of the u. s. house of representatives says the letter was a mistake. whole show though, that american voters seem to be unwilling to buy the narrative of unlimited aid ukraine, increasingly challenging politicians. car? no, ma'am. no, no, no. it's not like there's a nuclear war. would you voted to send on the weapon plane? why you the money to ukraine? i have every right to disrespect you because you're the 112, you inflated with 80000000 ukraine data, also 1000000000 do more on climate. we could do more lowering prescription drug cause we could do more gun control. we could do more with regard to the black

agenda. we could do more, haven't read your if a credit because you are funding neo nazis and ukraine. they are wearing the ukranian. they are wearing the black gun symbol. you know what? i advanced the black card, but you are funding the same people who kill in the name of white supremacy. i could say, not only are we not changed our approach to crime, but we haven't seen any definition or any, any concern expressed by our allies and partners, either the democrats, as you know, that they pull the letter back or let them speak to their decision making but we have enjoyed and continue to enjoy terrific bipartisan support for our approach to ukraine. presidents not worried about that. the candidate for the u. s. senate believes washington is out of touch with us voters. we have to cut the budget. we can't afford it. that's. i would be happy for that, but i would hope that people would have a more enlightened view that perhaps the united states should consider changing its

relationship to the rest of the world. other nations being independent and developed, should not be perceived as a threat to us. why is russia an enemy? who, why is the world defined that way? i think we have to take a step back and reconsider everything. perhaps the enemy of mankind is poverty. where the enemy is an asteroid that might corene into the earth, and we should, we should reorganize the entire thing the, the possibility of an accident when you have these nuclear drills being done by nato. and then the response from russia and the rhetoric that we see, and frankly, the, what i would call a shocking lack of conscience in certain intelligence and military unclaimed. i don't know what to call them factions in the united states. i'm wondering where they say this is too much, we're gonna step too far. really. i think that they have somehow cut off from the

people. they don't hear what people are saying and the morning that that has to change. there's fair elections, which is also a big question in the united states. i think that it reads to nami is extremely likely. and unfortunately the parties tend to be unified on matters of war. but i think there is really a faction around former president trump that wants out of this conflict. you may have seen that congressman goes star from arizona actually offered to hold peace talks. he sent a letter inviting both putin and lensky to arizona, saying that he said, i'm not a diplomat, but i can't sit by and allow this to continue. losing 25 percent of it share value, and just one day mazda has hit its lowest numbers in 6 years after the company

reported is 2nd straight quarterly revenue decline. facebook's parent company saw its earnings $1.00 to $27000000000.00 compared to an expected $28.00 and a half 1000000000, which turned out to be a disappointing result for investors. it said investors could see around $80000000000.00 worth of market capitalization wiped off from the company. so to discuss this topic, let's cross live now to radio host carry harrison. carrie is great to have you on the program today. now, let's start with the big question here. why has met us seen such drastic revenue drops? well, you know, i think a lot of us have read, herman melville, moby dick in whatever language we all speak chasing the whale and sucker berg is hell bent on replicating what he originally did with facebook. he's competing against apple, which he sees as the big villain in this game. and of course,

soccer burgers lost a 100 and we were talking $100000000.00. whoever gets to talk about losing that much money. but he wants to own this, met averse, such as it is, which is going to be the next phase of the internet. and he's not going to stop when he wants facebook and i interviewed him back in 2008. we talked about basically controlling everyone, creating a whole ecosystem where you did all your shopping, all of your fake friends were in there because real live humans have 123 friends in real life. but you could have a 1000 friends and limited fake friends. and it's about creating a new bake reality and whatever it costs, he is not going to lose at this point. yeah, and you know, i'm sure there are plenty of people that would take a fake reality at this point, but at the same time, we talk about facebook and so many people talk about how it's all this boring. so you would think that they would be excited for this new version of matter. but some

critics say that this decline happened. jude is upper burbs plan of creating this met a verse which hasn't really taken off yet. ultimately failing. do you think that that could be one of the main reasons and you think that he is going to continue on that path no matter what? at this point? well, to your point, rachel quest, these instruments that facebook is willing to build, we're talking about hardware as well as the software. that is facebook. people can't even wear these b r headsets that facebook is making because they get nauseous, they throw up emphasis. vomit, horrible dizziness, so they're not even anywhere near any kind of roll out. but the whole idea is to get people to sink that there is the only future is the same one that facebook has boasted that it is offered. so many people, these pho friendships, et cetera, and what is the larger goal of facebook? well, he still feels smitten by what apple did,

allowing people to opt out of apps being able to track, et cetera, and target based advertising. and so what he wants to do is supplant apple supply. what does apple make that i am on right now? i am on a mac. i admitted freely. most people are on p c's. he wants to replace my ability to use an apple created mac by putting me on a v b r set or augmented reality headset with neural interconnectivity, where i don't have to touch any controls and talk intellectually to it. and i will never need a computer again. and by the way, that goes for the 200000000 microsoft p. c's, that people will buy all being replaced by what mark sucker berg says will be met. as new invention, we just have no evidence that it could ever happen. and that's why all wall street is reacting the way it is with such financial violence. goodness, it sounds like he's a long way off and that may be a good thing given some of the things that his planning now is. speaking of

advertising there, the decline and ad spending is also said to be a reason for this draw. now, why are advertisers turning away from the tech company? is it because these ideas are just too far out there and they can't get on board? well, it's a combination of that, frankly, when you say mark zuckerberg, it's like saying, hillary clinton people bristle, they may not know why they just bristle. mark zuckerberg, you feel good. i'm not so sure you want to baby sit in your child. maybe not. do you want to muh, a, you know, running your check book? well, maybe not. and so he's not a brand that we came to trust. facebook was re branded into meta, why? because they had such a bad rap. and then as of today, facebook was find $25000000.00, the largest fine in all of us history for running political ads without disclosing who paid for them. and what their goal was, that is federally illegal in the united states in washington. so he's breaking laws

to make political changes and moves that we're never a part of just like when facebook changes its platform or it's policy, we never know about it until after the fact find out they've been spying on us. they've been transcribing our conversations. they've been doing peekaboo through the cameras. i think people are done with that. that's definitely the hope. and if they're spying on you on facebook, you can only imagine how they're spying on you in the future meadow verse. great insight. as always, radio host, kerry harris, and thank you so much for your time. and that's all for now. be sure to check out our tea dot com for all the latest breaking news and updates. we'll see right back here at the top of the hour. ringback ah, the question is pension for cleaning them with some just give my name is off.
