2:06 pm

2:07 pm
trailing, and the one to shirley. i was trying to confuse their only citizens in the night of history. if i thought to the a former indian m p and his brother have been shot doing a live tv, broad costs of india today. i think commerce and his brother, schwab had been convicted of kidnapping and were facing charges of murder and assault. they were being escorted by police when they were killed. again, a warning, the following images are disturbing. the main body i will do muslim by you probably by yet. i think correspondence, wind and show that brings us more details on the kennings. mom combined, but india, i'll pull the s b m on the he was shot there, the wrong 10 pm. time to tom for ya,
2:08 pm
rod in the u. haul, put in all the she was shot in front was shot that on the camera in the present. the police, beaver's, in fact, in police custody. and therefore, we're using a lot of question marks on the 20 funded people basically taken from a prison or medical examination. the wrong attempt be pointed out whether the 3 men who are pretending to be joined. the question suddenly bio did both b. m. on that is, what does the brother 10 rounds of fighters have been given to understand? shopped at all, but now the man we have on hand around on the chase is against him. all he is crying. he's really your of the high call fight door mafia in the state. now what have you been one of the stand the other while this incident
2:09 pm
has sent shock waves across the country, you know, produce not com. the police patrolling and the length and breadth of the state of the situation are short of the kind of follow. we have in the state, but also authority last night in section one for the, for the state, which essentially means that a large gallery, i'll prove it in the course of this incident has left several question mark. i'm in the several questions that will need to be in the usa, 21 year old ad national gone serviceman was arrested and charged this week over the ledge leak of classified intelligence documents. meanwhile, has been revealed that corporate journalists has identified the suspects before the f b. i could even track him or if he's caleb morgan investigates the us media connection
2:10 pm
to the notorious state. well, what's particularly interesting is that the tracking down of this accused leeker was done by 2 journalists, 2 journalist outfits. one describes itself as a group of independent journalists. however, its connections to american intelligence are quite well known at this point. and the other is the new york times, which is one of the main voices of the american establishment. and we have 2 entities that describe themselves as journalists, as the press, basically bragging, very proud about having worked with the f, b i to hunt down a leeker years. what's been said, belin gets eric tula worked with the new york times stone colored trial of digital evidence that appears to identify jack dick shira. at 21 year old air national guardsman as the leader of an online game chat group, where
2:11 pm
u. s. intelligence documents leaked now belling, cat in particular, likes to present itself is very independent investigative cutting edge. but they worked hand in hand with law enforcement to track down the identity of an individual who may classified documents of vailable to the public and put them on the internet. and there's been quite a reaction to that on social media. well done for working with the feds to ensure whistleblowers are arrested great work in the name of censor, las investigative journalism. it's astonishingly embarrassing on the part of the new york times, especially that instead of reporting on relevant leaks, they do the work of a fascist security state to find the leaker instead disgusting. there was a time when the new york times went to court to argue they had the right to publish, leaked government documents. now they're helping the government track down leakers . if you see a leak in the new york times, it was planted by the government. so we have a situation where over
2:12 pm
a 100 documents of classified information related to the american government and its relationship with the conflict in ukraine have flooded the media. now the individual who's been charged for this is a 21 year old member of the air national guard massachusetts. he apparently is reported to have wanted to impress his friends on a discord server on the internet. and so he made these documents available questions raised about why such a low level member of the military would have access to. ready information, but regardless, he has been arrested now mainstream media as played up the politics and the views of the young man describing him as racist. pro gun christian, anti war, et cetera. almost as if they're betraying him as an insurrection rang the link him to donald trump, his orders and the january 6th, that mainstream media has painted quite a picture and characterized this individual as being associated with
2:13 pm
a larger meal you and us politics. here's what they've said. we do have a domestic extremism problem in america. one of the greatest national security threats facing our country comes from more with it within sometime individuals that have these kind of personality effects get through and unfortunately, caused the problem. and he had some extreme, its views about some he thought the u. s. government was engaging conspiracy. the washington post, as you know, reviewed video of the suspect, yelling racial and anti semitic slurs. and one thing that is clear is u. s. officials are indicating they will be increasing the surveillance of us citizens and their internet activities when it comes to this kind of thing in order to ensure the classified documents are not leaked in the future. well, i'm joined life now by a political analyst on. so make a showing stone showing that thank you so much for joining us on the program this evening. so the suspect jack to share is a low ranking member of the national guard. and there's so many people asking
2:14 pm
whether he could possibly have access to such classified documents. what are your thoughts? well, i mean apparently his background was an id. and so as you know, when it comes to the internet and being able to access things, it's really difficult to say for sure how he got access these documents. there could of course be people that provided it to him who obviously might be revealed in time or maybe never be revealed. it's, i think it's far too soon. we don't even know if to accept to sarah is the, is necessarily the one who leak does. obviously he's still being charged, but he hasn't been convicted. right. there's the author, the question over the legitimacy of bass files. do you think it could be an actual classified legal, possible disinformation campaign? well, you know, initially the response was that there were forgeries in it, or there were certain alterations to the documents, but it's pretty much been clarified since then that the vast majority are actual. the real question, of course,
2:15 pm
is when it comes to the things that have been denied are the documents relating, for example, to the actual casualties. some of the documents, for example, clarify, despite the u. s, urging that russia has lost a board of 200000 men in the, in the war. the documents actually state russia blues and closer to 20000 and ukrainian force is actually losing 33 to 4 times that. so that's what is being stated as the false document. if that's actually false, i would be surprised because i think those numbers might be more reflective of the truth. we still don't know much about the suspects, potential motives. and the us media, however, has been very quick to me, him as some sort of radical. why do you think that jumping to such conclusions so quickly? while the media is clearly a, has an agenda, as caleb just pointed out, in terms of how they went, how they helped, you know, essentially the times and others, journalists helped to reveal who this liquor is. you know, they're playing the, the guard dog of the administration because the media has been so pro ukraine and
2:16 pm
pro war. so these documents, some of the things that they reveal, for example, as far as the united states, having so called advisor, a special forces, you know, this is an old tradition of how we work with various, you know, been conflicts, right? even in vietnam, before america got involved directly, we had advisors like special forces and ca there. that's what the documents indicating ukraine. it also indicates that the united states has no intention of, of finding peace. they talk about no peace talks in 2023. for example, so, you know, again this, these documents are very important for the american people to understand the real policy. and that may be to understand a bit more of the truth of the war. but again, the media has been very much the cheerleader for this war. so of course, they're not going to want these documents or the leak or then they'll obviously focus now on the leeker and make him to be the bad guy. as opposed to just focusing on the documents themselves and what we can learn from them. and what are your
2:17 pm
thoughts on how the new york times together with belin cats actually hunted down this 21 year old suspects. whatever happened to investigate journalists uncovering the government secrets instead of helping to cover them up? well, of course can we were far, far cry from the pentagon papers, which was ellsberg and company working to actually leak those documents. thousands of documents through the new york times working with journalists like daniel she and, and then you know that, that time that was in new york times publishing it because they were opposed the next administration. now we're in a time period when the times is basically a fan of the, by the administration. and i think, likewise, we saw it even during the obama years with the snowden leaks, which, when greenwald helped to put out a lot of the mainstream media really was not necessarily a fan of edward snowden. and i think it's gotten worse since then. the media seems to be very much pushing, totaling out an agenda, as opposed doing real journalism, which is to try to get to the bottom of things objectively. they is that unverified
2:18 pm
documents. they also seem to expose washington by saying that the us is actively spying when it is alive and doesn't really have that much confidence in the ukrainian offensive, which is planning to loans. what's your take on last? boy, look, 1st of all the united states spying on its allies. i don't think is a surprise. i think we've learned that from the various exposures, like i mentioned snowed, and it was basically clear that the united states was spying not just on, on foreign api. the high say for an allies as well as domestic individuals. so not just individuals, you know, basically anything grabbing whole kinds, all, all kinds of data on american citizens. so i don't think it's any surprise the united states spies on its allies. but as far as the ukraine offensive, some of the documents even indicate how demoralized some of the korean forces are. and this is again against the narrative of what the united states is, pushing and selling to the american people, especially right. the idea that we need to support this,
2:19 pm
this cause and send hundreds of billions of dollars to support it. it's also been very interesting to see how following the release of these documents, corporate media outlets have been very vocal during media briefings at the pentagon about how, how about clocking down on the sharing of sensitive information. so what sort of new censorship do you think we're now facing? and why is the us media being so and through the aspect about it again, i mean it's, it's difficult to know, you know how much they will be enthusiastic when it comes back to bite them. right? this is always the nature of things. when you feel like you know, your position is superior. when you feel that you're in power, you want to push for more authority. and then all of a sudden, you know, the power shifts and it comes back against you as we've seen throughout history. so right now, you know, you have this restrict act which is being pushed by congress. and it can be very vast and scary as far as what it will do as to sensor things in america. because again, it's the rhetoric act is based on this, you know,
2:20 pm
walking chit blocking tick tock, right? and basically, it gives powers beyond tech talk to, to ban things that are considered foreign. and as we know from all surveillance, when we start interacting, it's a very thin line between foreign and domestic. when it comes to phone calls, internet, all these things, right? we're interacting globally every day. and so when you start to get power to basically, you know, to, to block up information because it comes from a foreign party or apps because it's supposedly foreign. and then american citizen to interface with that could also be prosecuted or charged. this is a very dangerous moment if restrict app goes forward. and do you think we can read into the timing of this allegedly control? i mean, it comes ahead of this much anticipated ukraine offensive trust as the presidential race in the us with the current administration now and the criticism from the republicans over these documents. what are your thoughts? yeah, i mean, i would almost suggest that these documents coming out, i mean from get if there was an insight more let's say white hat insiders who are
2:21 pm
maybe more opposed to the ukraine war than yes, this is important information to have and will help sort of so called them, you know, maga caused the republicans who are against the war and ukraine as opposed to those who are for it. but as far as the timing, i also again mentioned the restrict act because if this is now on the docket to be passed, it really raises the question of will this kind of shift the mood to say oh, we need more censorship. we need more control, right? and that's, that's the scary part. if you're moving to an act like restrict which is so broad and it's in his power that delegates to, to our commerce, basically to our commerce department. so, and it's been great talking to you. thank you so much for your time will be speaking to political analyst on filmmaker johnstone let me put in how they meeting with a newly appointed chinese defense minister leash song through the russian defense minister. so gay showing that only how stressed the importance of military
2:22 pm

the air. so a very important geo political statement of intent if you like. here in moscow today, the general shang fu banking president for taking the time on a very important day in the russian calendar. of course, the easter sunday where people spent a lot of time with family and friends, and president putin thank by the general for, for making a time to see him. mentioning that his 1st visit to russia was in 2017 and again reiterating his joy returning it, talking about the closeness of the war between the 2 countries and the 2 presidents and his 1st foreign trip. of course, again, on the scoring the important stuff, china attaches to this relationship with russia and the development. not only of course of economic ties, increasing economic ties, but also strategic ties between the 2 countries. he mentioned that the countries had been closed for over 70 years, and that the relationships are getting stronger day by day. and, you know,
2:25 pm
he mentioned that president, she and president putin had, you know, dozens of times and tend to meet many more. and that they've had intense negotiations in numerous fields. of course, these discussions were today between the 2 defense ministers essentially about increasing strategic cooperation. and we've seen recent naval drills with the russian chinese and iranian navy during president. she's, you know, landmark visit not so long ago. and of course, this visit combs in the midst of a shifting geo political mass with president of the european union nurse lavonne de line and emanuel micron, recently making their way to beijing for what was a little bit frosty visit. and again, this reiterates that, you know, china is visit today, reiterates the china and russia re standing back to back shoulder to shoulder in the face of increasing pressure from the west,
2:26 pm
over russia's intervention into ukraine. and of course with the building pressure on china over at taiwan. so again, another very important meeting here in moscow today. so we watch as we see this new multi polar world, essentially being a born before eyes nicky. and they shave many thanks for the day thought. saw shay both. thank you for joining us. hey, i'll see international web back at the top of the i was more on the very latest with
