be brought to justice. do you think that russia can expect the international community to take any action at any point in the future, should moscow to perhaps consider relying on its own judgment? yeah. ah no matter what's gonna happen as far as i can see. ah, there is not going to be any justice in this case. so russian's gonna have to just rely on itself and tragic to have to say that. but no, i've been saying this for years. it's like police investigation when police departments investigate themselves, how can you do it? unfortunately, you can't. within speaking to former us marine angie or political analyst and blogger, john, that marketing and many thanks for discussing this, where there's really appreciate your time. thanks for having me. and thank you for joining us herein arti international. as always, plenty more news updates, analysis and insights on our website r t dot com. so don't forget to check that out. we'll be back in the top down.

ah i met representative sikes at a rally in washington, d. c. o t introduce this dentist while i do a gathering of mississippians who had travelled there to demand a new state flag over by laurence. i love it. and the thing is, you know, we had a discussion about it, i saw this flag and fell in love with it. and i really liked that. when i found out that the designer was lauren then is lauren is the granddaughter of senator jazz

standard. he represented during the time of jim crow where they thought that separate but equal was ok is just so important to me who it felt bad over time through the generations of people change. i'm a hip hop artist. i use hip hop when lie in an i respect honoring your ancestors. i honor mine and that's kind of i feel where the clash happens because no one's going to back down from that. but i need you to acknowledge the brutality that was carried out under that banner. and once you can do that, then hopefully a dialogue can begin. and we can come to some sort of agreement because i'd rather have you with my neighbor than my enemy. we deal with a

with ah, it's a pretty flag that's about the extent of it. it does not replace what we have. um, understand the, you know, the 20 stores and the significance and what the meaning of that supposed to be, but nothing about it. honors confederate, veterans of the soldiers. nothing. this

cemetery that we're going to can i say cemetery. it's not much of a cemetery is just a few grades. but to me this is what our state flag is about. this is why our flag should remain the sign in this was originally just a small family cemetery. the old railroad tracks are in the same place. those are and i ran from meridian to jackson and owned vicksburg. soldiers died on the train ride up here. they didn't even know the names of the soldiers. these are some of the filings who fall and died. and their families

never heard from them again, didn't know where they were buried. what happened to them, this one right here, it says a 6 brave soldier, sleep here. and that's kinda feel about it. they were brave. they were honorable. by didn't fight to preserve slavery. they fought because their home was invited in recalls their, their state asked him to and it was an honorable thing to do in with ah, how can you say that when that cause that you say that they fought so nobly for

was girded up by slavery in the whole reason for mississippi getting into the civil war, they say very plainly, it's about preserving slavery. this, it goes back almost to our founding in this country that, that the belief that america is a white man. and anybody else who comes here has to bow down to the white man's rules. so it's about white supremacy. it's about power and control. it's about maintaining the status quo. and any kind of change occurs in this country where there is progress made towards diversity. is responded to as if it's a. ready threat to the white man, if we're going to change his flag and then some brave white man,

i going to have to stand up and step up. and it's got to happen in the midst of the legislature. a last legislative session. there were 19 bills related to the flag this session there 22. all of those bills related to change or a means by which we can change the flag has been introduced by african american legislators. they bill for in support of the current state flag. have all been introduced by white male, conservative legislators in 2001 the people in mississippi voted on a flag and 65 percent of the people voted to keep the current flag. well, i don't think we as elected representatives, have the right to overturn their decision. now, whether you like it or not, we can argue about that. but the decision was made by the people of mississippi to

keep the current flag. so do you have a personal feeling about the flag? i personally believe that we should keep the flag. i think that the narrative that any emblem or anything there that harkens back to the civil war is somehow racist or in support of slavery is just wrong. what we have to do is spend the time to educate every one of what is the real history with the belief that the flag issue will be settled when we all understand the real history of the civil war is attractive, but which part of the history confederate harriet supporters argue that the civil war was not fought to free the slaves because abraham lincoln himself said,

so it is original inaugural address. he said, if i could preserve the union free and all the slaves, i do that i can preserve the union, but free and some slice that i can preserve the union afraid of slighted that he was reserved, inc. and though lincoln was morally opposed to slavery, he held common racist beliefs. and then there's the core when amendment colon name, it was proposed to actually legalize labor. and i tried to propose it to the southern people to get them to not to join, get back in the union, but they denied they didn't want to have any part of it. all had a better bile was library, than the cord amendment would fix that. because it stated that the south to perpetuate key is peculiar institution which referred as labor. if they would not succeed from the union. the core one amendment passed both houses of congress in

1861 lincoln, in his 1st inaugural address, said he would not interfere with it. had the corps would amendment been adopted before the civil war began. it would have provided a constitutional protection for slavery. in the united states, and it would have been the 13th amendment but mississippi made it clear that they seceded to protect slavery. in part because they believed that black people were better suited to work in the oppressive heat. a requirement for picking cotton and some white mississippians feared that emancipation wouldn't just mean economic ruin . it would lead to something they fear even more racial equality. this was made clear when a commissioner name william l. a harris was sent to georgia to persuade them to join mississippi in seceding from the union and form a southern confederacy of slave holding states in an address to the georgia general

assembly. he said, our fathers made this a government for the white man rejecting as an ignorant, inferior barbarian race, incapable of self government. he concluded his speech, saying, mississippi would rather see the last of her race. men, women, and children immolated in one common funeral pyre, can see them subjugated to the degredation of civil political and social equality with the race. georgia joined the confederacy. 3 months later with our previous president, it was there was nothing but a big hey. and it seemed like there were more of a, a war or race war more to be on the was those really what it was? this isn't a racial thing. my, me or we don't play pretty like rightful at all. we were out here. we're staying for southern prize.

wife knows absolutely with this present it with donald j trump. i believe that we're going to be able to come and sit down and everybody finally get this rested. because this flag don't stay in racism. it's just our heritage list. sit down in a table and hash out the platt. it come to an understanding that this is the way we feel, regardless how you feel. you know what the way you feels, what you, we can't change. what i'm asking you to change that grasping you to come to a place in your life where you can excel, what we do as we say up what you do, what the odds of that happening are slim and then irish leave, the freedoms go down from here oh wow. i believe people will actually move it all, rosie religion, with her sake flag flag of

18. $94.00 is the symbol of the mississippi that adopted the constitution of 18. 90 mississippi. as governor at that time, james arden unabashedly stated, mississippi's constitutional convention of 1890 was held for no other purpose than to eliminate from politics. like the world know it just as it is governor barnum and also said if it is necessary and every oh in the state will be lynched. and it will be done to maintain white supremacy. sometimes you'll hear people say, oh, assume you such a bear, please. return our phone bill quite frankly, but he's been good. that's fine. they can stay wherever they are. i'm whitefish boyish. if i didn't, why this is cynthia lee. if you don't like michigan where you're leaving, i invite you to do the same. final place where you can be here,

i've been raised in this state and i love mississippi. if people have the and say, if you don't like it, you can go somewhere. my family have been here for more than a century in that flag of deal. when it is for me. no, i was going to take the flag away from you. can we add on value when you're travelling, acquiring a yard? that's what the 1st amendment gives you. but without, without these date play, they represent all mississippian in their flag that represent all this the point. ah, the recent g 20 meeting in bali, the west did all it could with the help of corporate media to isolate russia all their efforts came to nothing. in fact, the opposite happened. russia was a welcome participant, nato's proxy war in ukraine does united much of the global south. it's nato,

against the world. with angela lucas talking about low for one. it talks about how good to go unless they agree. love. oh, we're taking us then we'll go. there is article to 30 percent of the people with red shows a lot in the summer of 2015. the web with the assistance of compromising republicans, launched an attack of symbols representing the. busy confederate states of america . after guillory loss, donald trump was elected. there were rides from new york,

l i. and we, protestors, mostly minorities, could be seen in the demonstrations chain, did not president, not if we had brought it to that may. what do you think? what about the answer is obvious. the flag bear with the numbers for you probably heard a little more than that with very what about the people there? tell a little boys that a feminist, a b,

y a y a room i met re shores once before. and he said something to me in that conversation, i'd heard from other confederate heritage supporters. but ray was the only one who set it on camera. he had said that slavery was it was, it was a natural condition. well, i don't know exactly what i said, but then but i remember the interview, the relationship between the slave and the master wasn't accepted thing and a, it was there was a love between them. i want to understand what you're saying here is that, that, that the van to matter all arrange. and you're saying that in the united states in mississippi, that it was a natural flavor was natural and that the relationship could be

a natural thing could be yes. it could be no that could be people who felt like it was and that like the slaves. some of them perhaps you think it was not. um yeah, i don't think it was a jaunty bribes for okay. with the position. yes. i just accepted it as a, as their station in law. do you see a situation where blacks could be masters to white? would that be that? would that be? no and yeah, i think in some cases very well, you know, i had a, a supervisor when i work at a department store at one time that was blind and not took orders from him and did what he told me to do. and what you had your freedom of use, do you had your liberty? could you imagine a situation where you were, look the slave of a black master? well then let me just say that that's not something that i can just fully

comprehend. and imagine right here here in your question, but i'd be happy to think about it. yeah, i'm just curious. i basically told him, i said, hey, i'm one of those new age young black such a fear. you certainly told me you might notice how much i love america. you made the comment. so my state, i got my education and now which is you create a remote, someone who isn't afraid of someone who's going to come at you. whatever else a breath there. and we're going to make sure we get that flag. i will go that american mistake, you know, we are 40 percent and we can make the site. not be afraid of these guys, because i'm the biggest house in the world. are you a better? did you ever start the say? no. well, you're here because of the sort of funny man refunded me by the spring of 2017 cities and counties throughout the state had renew mistake flags from government buildings as well as all 8 public universities

in the rallies and public meetings are becoming more confrontational. now with what it is me, a hatred, whatever a 1 may or june and take to the phone, has failed to take it to devote to the people, mississippi claim that a shredder, j a. this is our home. these are our symbols, that way, that the family appears to be assigned, but it's also she'll take a liquid to only give you an opportunity to wrong

with ah, in your mind, morland's a city with a 60 percent black population. the court to just to prove the city council's plan to remove 4 prominent confederate statues from public property, including the monument to jefferson davis, president of the confederacy for confederate heritage, supporters like george. their fears were coming true. confederate monuments were now under attack. their argument is this, these statues and the symbols of the southern paper are racist and promote y supremacy. that is their argument. we got this guy walk around with the communist

black here in hays, going round just talking smack, just walking up people in just colonist white supremacists and racist and everything like that. but we're all willing to protect ourselves. if we feel threatened, we will use our weapons. or you barbara, now? yes sir. would you, would you find out the i think if i felt threatening my life was starting your day, right. i would really and you're willing to be shuttled now and this is a cause i'm willing to give my life or what do you think that comes from for years and years, any time i walk around with my state flag, this is the flag of my state and i get very sick and tired of being called a racist and a big it because it because

i'm proud of where i'm from and it's came to a point then we're not gonna take it in and we've given we've compromised. we've lost a lot. we're not gonna lose any more when you're on the right side of history. it's always worth fighting for. oh, you don't know about reality dice this, otherwise you'd realize that this isn't a monument twice the furnace. yeah. which is a monument. no 8 people and i was just because you said that job, it made me the most prejudice i've ever heard in my life. you don't know any of these people in your car, all white supremacy, not prejudiced on them. a call me shower. they're looking for trouble so they can get us

basically kicked out of here, arrested break our spirit. but we're not gonna fall for you guys. please get them over there and separate them before hits. the fein, if you would, we would greatly appreciate, can i not go over on the other side of the street? there's grass over there. they're going to have a cookout over there, but they're over here trying to instigate us. you see, this is rolling, the window up on me is rolling the window. you see that? we just rolled the window up on me. all, i'm rolled the window. i want, what's your name and your badge number, sir. what's your name? your badge animal. what's your name? and your badge number is all my sure. may i get your name and your badge or more not citizen asking for a name and your badge number, you're supposed to give it your public servant. you say they roll the window. they rolled the window up, they don't care. there won't in trouble. there was
