a more i'm living with a nice for yeah, it was a shed. so what is, can we afford to continuously certainly coaching. yep. and to, to go to woodson. cham i put in your to the, to the woods, to spiritually just look, i don't waste look at the invoice. so why so completely booked the annuals? now you don't need to, to school at all for them to support them. that's almost like a zimmerman of buddhism. number on your smithies. what are you on the wind come up to show from negative was lose? it? was it. so let me have somebody here because he's not a citizen of a person, was just fish review and each of them which with a full conductors love. but when i ship not the post office that he has all the way

i understood for she received reputation with any of course, but you know, who do for you. the world with a paint splattered on the mona lisa. people lying across, busy highways, and rush hour, historical statues been damaged, protest against social issues are not new. and while there is always been a few examples of those protest taking dramatic steps to garner attention and present day, now we're seeing more current. but are these moves are being effective in garnering the sympathy needed for whatever change is being demanded. and scott hughes. and on this edition of $360.00 view, we're going to look at the hypocrisy involved in those as seeking societal changes . and the fine line between division and terrorists,

let's get started. ah, activism has changed over the years from marches across capital city to black squares. what actions are actually helping the causes we are fighting for, and it's a policy of some ruining the movement for all. we now ask our national correspondent roxanna salon. these questions, scotty is active is just another way to become intern is famous. the new generation of activists seems to be doing more harm than good with their protest. we're seeing so called activist, go and throw paint a famous thing, things in museums, and good themselves to the our work. our producers have these type of activist so much. she doesn't want to give them fame. and we refuse to show these videos. but

let's break it down why the so called protest is supposed to be against big oil and the pollution of our planet. however, the paint they throw made with oil that who they used made with a type of oil the horse can because now needed to clean up the mess they made. you guessed it, probably terrible for the environment. even the shoes, they were to walk into these museums are made with oil. the whole app is now is not better in their community, and quite frankly, hypocritical. now, these actions could be just for a few small pond, it's making some noise. but what about the world's most prominent politicians, arriving at the climate summit to promote the green new deal in private sets? twitter was flooded with pictures of the wrong ways, feel with gas guzzling pollution inducing machines all carrying in the read all the

well known self proclaimed climate activists, including king charles boys, johnson and business force reported. many leaders had flown directly from the g 20 summit to the claim. at summit, there were $118.00 private sets, which means roughly 6 tons of c o 2 per flight, adding up to over $1400.00 tons. the hypocrisy said twitter, ablaze with rules for thee, but not for me. during black life matter, summer variety of people, businesses and now ladies were pressures to post black squares on their insect ranch. if you refuse, you were a few of her paper waiting, biding, but what do you do like squares? actually prove it doesn't add any educational awareness to the cause. an active more like newly in court. like a signal you're willing to blindly support the cause that ended up being a scam. the leader of b. m. still millions of dollars software through sell companies to buy her own

multi $1000000.00 home to the point government no longer allow the black life matter organization to file. as a nonprofit, chargeable organization. the greed of the movement leader has completely undermine the original intention, preventing any black life from actually being helped in the process. people with tears less power to the good they are doing for the environment. but whereas the energy coming from to charge their vehicles, what happens when california turns off the power group and you cannot charge your vehicle during a community big cup cookout in berkeley, california, a group of protest or through red paint on the grills. this is because the police only provide a hud ducks and hamburgers to the people coming to the event. and there were no begun options. we look at these kinds of activities from us, attention seekers and not those actually trying to actively better the world around

them. we're seeing more and more the hypocrisy of activism is failing the movements themselves. i'm brooklyn of london for 360 view. back to you, scottie lesson. you always have to have a vision option these days because throwing a red paint very dramatic. but i've seen worse. don't make a vague and angry thanks for joining me. roxan a now is david swanson. he's an author activist journalist radio host and nobel peace prize nominee and swanson is the executive director of world beyond war dot org and campaign coordinator for route to action dot org. thank you for joining us. now from your perspective, how do you view this evolution of activism over the last few decade? oh, huge changes globally and locally a positive and negative are we. we've seen in particular, when it comes to anti war and peace activism, a dramatic increases in skills and strategies and planning and successes

of non violent activism instead of war. a non violent, unarmed resistance to military base constructions whose occupations, brutal governments, et cetera. at the same time, we've seen a, in particular, in some western countries like the united states, where i live, an increased skills in the slickness of the propaganda used to discourage activism . ah, and i mean propaganda not just in terms of particular lies to start particular wars, but the overwhelming message that's put out through corporate media day after day after day. that activism is dom and silly and useless and you're powerless. ah, and you must do nothing except a vote and shop and you can control the world by voting and shopping. i. and so there are, there are her forces against

a good useful activism. and there are people developing and employing it at the same time. does the world wide web social media and even the internet help or hurt those looking for change? i think it definitely helps. an definitely hurts i it's, it's the tool that we have at the moment i and without it in this, in this moment we would be even more lost. oh, when you have a campaigns, for example, like black lives matters, it can put something into the corporate media because people have their own cameras in their pockets because people have the internet because people can make something big on the internet without corporate media. it's very, very useful, but people's at the same time need to understand that the corporate media still dominates, even on the internet on that off line. activism is still needed. oh,

we can't do things on the internet alone, but using it wisely and strategically as a tool in combination with real world activism. and it's worked wonders and it's been central to, ah, thousands of campaigns that have changed the world for the better. there's violence or the structure of property, like we have seen around the world by climate change activist animal rights, oil protesters, et cetera. does it only hurt and reduce empathy for the cause? well, it certainly doesn't only do that. it may do that to some degree of but give in the need to communicate to people the importance of the crisis of that that, that all life on earth is at risk that eventually people will be burning. van go, paintings of to cook their last food. it's, it's not overly dramatic, it's not going too far. and when you're not even destroying paintings that actually

have glass in front of them, you're just getting people's attention. ha. and when you're getting their attention to an incredible crisis that they're trying to block out and ignore, ah, it actually can be very useful and you can end up having people start paying attention and then say, i don't like their tactics and go off and. busy support some moderate, acceptable environmentalist, organization and so you can bring people in a to a gree, into the movement to protect the world even as they tell themselves that they like your cause, but dislike your tactics. whereas the week before, they were ignoring your cause was so i'm for anything that gets the message through because if people weren't doing anything, the corporate media and governments are happy to ignore crises that threaten all

life on the planet. but some would argue that were at this point because initial complaints were never heard. if you mean in terms of the environmental and ecosystem collapse. yes, of course. the facts have been known or have been knowable for many decades. you know, we have reports from 50 years ago, 40 years ago 30 years ago said here's what's happening here is what's needed do it now or else. it's not been secret, but it's certainly not been as talked about as sports or the weather, or divorces of celebrities. it just hasn't been the focus of, of media outlets or government institutions or educational institutions and see how you can ignore something, but it doesn't make it go away. it allows it to faster. and now you've,

you've got a crisis that's on avoidable, even to particular people who for decades have been saying it's not real. you have the new york times a couple months ago, printing a column by one of their overpaid columnists, saying proudly i disbelieved in climate change until somebody flew me to a mile melting glacier. and now i'm willing to believe it, but we still must do nothing about it. and you know, as if we need to, it, that's like the solution is to fly every jack on earth to a melting glacier and then do something about the problem as compounded by all that jet fuel. i, you know, this is, this is not the answer. the answer is to be sorry for having ignored it for so many years, i jump on it as if it mattered, right. it's got it. thank you, david swanson. after the break, we're going to continue our discussion. and if activism could be turned into a version of extortion, ah,

ah, 3 with water is thrown in the old hon national force about scheduling this concert out the last dance have been able to deal with sprung from hours from noon to lower, to do it in bt dufrane, you could keep away in the pals, teacher skills of it on the, on a ship. so was to let them know the up against him. a little bulk them in the crucial chest middle school. the lesson was leading us with the moon is not, but if good p t d still know what to do to do with what they need, they will lit up. she is we can you video picks? that will be a really good always send somebody because when you go see, show the missed they need to the mental south. a deal can give us history. but did you do it? is that those sort of miss dempsy? this material, but in the phone book, even in the supply unit, should update those my daily misty located. it doesn't help out

with them. yeah. be it. she go. she returned with a note up there normally squared yet. so to handle most of his emotional specially chosen with lisa, there's other things you need to look. are you doing piecemeal? mm. i. well, no, would be a victory for russia. lucy, with much elaine newton than by she looked at a meal crane more is a proxy war. this is a war between russia and the united states. mezzo, mon ami comes to not should kick in in carbon dioxide. america forces are in you're not in your to gauge in conflict of russian forces. american forces are here to

defend nato allies. what happens that nato escalates even more than the special military operation become a war when you put bells, have so that we will send them a show and that'll do those news. my store, i see it, i see they do it to us. thank you. costliest. go to me with so you sleep, you shenika, you stuff for the bureau. convenient for the user? almost them. let's see when you miss at home, the still finish them in your sewage nearest you got the girl who's ah, welcome back to your watch in 360 view, i'm scotty know hughes. we're joined again by a david swanson. author act was journalist and radio host. and nobel peace prize and nominate, thanks for joining us. david. now, do you feel like some protest are not entirely organic? how can you tell when, depending how you define organic?

i doubt there's any protest ever that that hasn't been plants out. strategized? no, no rosa parks didn't spontaneously decide not to get out of a seat on a bus. that doesn't mean she didn't do the right thing by refusing to get out of the seat on a bus. but there certainly are protests that have funding and organization that intentionally hit it. and there are, you know, there are protests and, and all kinds of movements that are sort of as for turf, that are a corporate sponsored, foreign government sponsored that want their, their sources hidden. and that's a problem that should be exposed. uh, but you know, people, people organize seen campaigns to unionize starbucks or protest prisons or oppose the construction of a military base or whatever. i think more strategizing and organizing and funding

is needed not less. you know, it seems like today, activism has become a career path. what damage could that actually do? will it hasn't become a career path for enough people? i, you know, i, i would have become a career peace activist a decades earlier. if i had known it was a possibility and if there were more jobs in that field, i saw billboards and tv ads and secretly paid for celebrations of patriotism and mass slaughter it before sports games. while growing up, i knew you could go get a career in killing that there was now i never to my, in my life saw a recruiting office for the peace movement army and the, you know, i now am the director of an organization where we try to raise funds and we try to hire people to organized peace activism and the notion that there's something

shameful about that i find very odd and would need to have explained to me on but there aren't enough. you know, we who hate tell young people who have no other career path who have no money, who art independently wealthy and can't just do what's right, a unpaid a day at night. not to go into the military and they say, well, give me some other career path and what do we give them? you know, this is the problem and we have congress members telling presidents don't do anything about student debt. don't do anything about the cost of college because we need people in poverty so we can get them into the military. you know, and, and we're trying to oppose that we're trying to get people to do a proper limited amount of activism. wow. working other jobs, what people have to work day and night people have to work 3 jobs. people have to

go into the jobs that the corporate powers want them to, to pay off their debt for having got an education which ought to be a human right. and by the way, is in every other wealthy country on earth. so i actually think we need activism where we can find it and we find it in young people who have free time. we find it even more in retired people who have free time and, and come from an age that allowed you to retire. but you know, fun to mentally, we need people to be working last to be more secure, to have safer lives and economic prospects and be able to do more activism, paid or unpaid. but if it's, if it's not shameful, to get paid to make widgets or sell insurance or promote one phone company over another, why should it be shameful to get paid to try to make the world a better place? doesn't seem that way to me. ok, so david,

what is the difference between being a lobbyist and be an activist? well, i certainly think there's a difference between being a lobbyist who's paid by an organization publicly organized and funded and working to advance majority interests, majority demands, trying to get the government to represent people, as it's supposed to represent them. when, when you have a situation where you can have 8090 percent of the u. s. public re on an issue even agree on the corruption of washington, a it over 80 percent. republicans, democrats, independence. everybody else says congress should stop owning and trading stocks on the stock market because they control the prices and congress doesn't do it. then being a lobbyist to take people's voices to capitol hill and say, you need to do this as seems to me to be a useful enterprise,

but being a vastly overpaid corporate lobbyist, a going and, and talking to congress members of bout how you can fund their campaigns how you can put jobs in their districts, how you can manufacture one weapon in 85 different districts to dangle those jobs before those congress people. how you can get them free staff. people paid for by the pentagon. how you can give them a job that pays 5 times what congress pays as soon as they leave congress. if they do your bidding while they're in congress. this seems to me a corruption of government. this is why the word lobbyist has as a bad as sound to it in most people's ears, and i think it should be done away with. i think the revolving door should be closed. those jobs shouldn't be available. i think national enterprises should be nationalized. i think campaign funding should be abolished and campaigned should be publicly funded. i think that that,

that communication systems for elections should be for a limited period of time and should be publicly funded. i, you know, we ought to clean out the corruption and promote democracy by example, rather than by bombing other people and telling them it's for democracy. i am really interested to know your take on a celebrity activist. should they even get involved? why do they get involved? and should they be caught out as hypocrites when their actions are not the same as their work? well, i suppose everyone should be called out as hypocrites when they are hypocrites, including myself and anybody health. i should. i don't think that celebrities shouldn't be activists. i don't think that they shouldn't do the right thing. i do think it's silly. how much attention people pay to celebrities, how much they're treated as, as wise experts on

a topic that they know no more about than anybody else. they're just famous for some completely unrelated talent or accomplishment. but given that reality, given that if i invite a celebrity to chat with me about a topic they know nothing about all have 10 times the people watch the conversation . compared with, if i just do it myself. it's helpful in this, in this reality where people worship celebrities it's, i would rather have celebrities be backing good causes then be backing bad causes or doing nothing at all. i. i think we ought to be asking them to model good activism and to encourage others to be good, engaged citizens and activists. oh, interesting take david, thank you so much for joining us. for society, to survive, it must adapt must evolve. some changes happen naturally while others can present

more of a challenge, especially if it involves changing human behavior. when change does not come quick enough or in the form, one believes it should. frustration begin to sit in and this is where a trouble in discourse begins to grow. as the internet has grown, there is now a plethora of ways for activists to communicate and advocate for their cause. this is a good thing. however, the internet has basically opened up indoors box as we are seeing a growing trend and almost as re aspect of life. to garner more attention by just out doing the last, with no limit set in place, these actions can be made available instantly to the masses, creating a bus. and while the cars, these actions being done for might be noble, violence or destruction of properly property is rarely. busy justified, yet here they are now happening and rather than gaining sympathy,

the exact opposite is happening. the actions taken are gaming the attention as well as the activists who take them. well, the motivating cause is really never the focus. many because those who decided it's justifiable to damage a work of art or cause major disruption to have what their passion for the subject basically overrule their common sense. or maybe they fail to see how their emotions are being manipulated for the purpose, just cause disruption. they are like ponds and again, with the players being those who benefit from control. and in the end, history tells us regarding activism. the best plan for change and the acceptance comes in the form of understanding free will and education. the threat of violence or destruction to force a change is not only terrorism, but i see it as extortion to elements. but i find it hard to find how the end could ever justify the me. i'm kind of he's and that has been your 350 view avenues

affecting you. thanks for watching. ah, ah, ah, in 1884, the german empire began its colonial invasion into namibia. from the very start. berlin encouraged the white colonists to settle in south west africa and take away the best land from the local tribes. the germans were actively draining natural resources and using the local population as a cheap labor source. this was causing major protests and led to a rebellion. in 19 o 4, the hero and nama tribes rebelled against german colonial rule. kaiser wilhelm the

2nd was fully determined and ordered to suppress the rebellion with the utmost severity against the inhabitants of nam may be a germany through it's 15000 well equipped army. all around the country concentration camps were built. in humane medical experiments over citizens were conducted within the period of 4 years. the germans killed up to $60000.00 people, among which there were 80 percent of the hero tribe. and 50 percent of the nama tribe. the events in south west africa are called the 1st genocide of the 20th century, and not without reason are compared to the holocaust just to decades later after the massacre in nam may be a hitler's assault unit boat on the same brown colonial uniform which poised the world into the chasm of the 2nd world war.

ah no, i just the young, $30000000.00. yup. agreement. i think mike, if i mean should, but so i should. why did it say that is the point if you can, i don't know. a

more giving it away. yeah. for sure. i do the nice or yeah. do the shirts with we a forkful and serious certainly fortune. yeah. put on the words and jim put your to the to the woods spiritually. just look, i don't waste look at the invoice. i spoke with you on yesterday. i need to discuss a little bit more just a general motors, some number on your smith for a young man come up. there wasn't a table with a was just so severe and each of them rich a lot, but i should not the post office that is all the way to to see me finish up

with a headline right now on our team. there is the u. s. secretary of state anthony blinking is visiting ethiopia and me, jerry essentially post us influence on the african continent. though it does come as edit. i accuse it's washington. i've actually impeding peace in this a hell. australia is planned to buy 5 nuclear power, stop grades from america certainly draws criticism from china. it concerns the deal, puts non proliferation agreements with also russia agrees to extend the black sea grain deal which.
