7:07 pm
and rural is enough in arms. what's going on really is that there is a cia back pension name, general abraham, whose eat back by a judge is and the cia. and he was trying to eliminate is competition, which was general. hm. that he was handled or by mean, you know, saying that i mean bond didn't get the ok from washington to start using jets warplanes to bomb a really bombard the capital. well, brown is pretty much, dear man, in sudan. i mean, he's even really an ethiopian, he provide hundreds of tons of weapons to the c i back attempted to against ethiopian government to the t grad people's liberation from he's been trying to normalize relations with israel, which the u. s. is very supportive behind is been basically dancing for the c i a in the region ah,
7:08 pm
the u. s. inspector general for afghanistan reconstruction as warren to the threat of huge scale pillaging at u. s. 8 money to ukraine with the word foreign nation becoming a potential bottomless pit for washington's cache. just look at the amount of money we're spending in ukraine is about a $100.00. $13000000000.00 of that right? this summer we will surpass all the money we spend full reconstruction, which was the train advise and assist mission in afghanistan for 20 years. this summer, we will surpass all the money we spend from marshall plan to rebuild all of europe after world war 2. that money is flowing my manor from the sky. if you don't get in there soon, you're going to see pill fridge. says 2000 want the u. s. has provided a $151000000000.00 an aid to afghanistan. 73000000000 of that was for military aid and almost 40000000000 for both humanitarian and economic aid. but when it comes to ukraine,
7:09 pm
the u. s. has already spent almost $78000000000.00 in total aid in just one year. washington has provided the country with $4000000000.00 and humanitarian aid, almost $27000000000.00 and financial loans and funding along with $36000000000.00 and security and $47000000000.00 and heavy military support. the u. s. inspector general has also spoken about continuing issues with the aid to afghanistan, saying that after 2 decades the lack of monitoring still remains a problem. the 2nd problem is right now we're paying salaries of all ukrainian civil servants. ready or most of them and who's paying them us aid and usa is pumping money in giving it to the ukrainians to pay the salaries bus in afghanistan, the department of defense was involved in paying the salaries and over 20 years. it could not come up with a system to guarantee that we've been paying the salaries of real afghans. this comes as a group of us lawmakers wrote a joint letter on thursday,
7:10 pm
calling our president biden's policy, or it's helping ukraine and saying they will oppose all future aid packages. if the goals aren't clear, a proxy war with russia and ukraine is not in the strategic interest of the united states. our national and economic security demand and alternative unrestrained u. s. aid for ukraine must come to an end, and we will adamantly oppose all future aid packages unless they are linked to a clear diplomatic strategy designed to bring this war to a rapid conclusion. to go further in depth on this one cross i have now to international consultant, earl rasmussen, earl, it's good to see you now we have this joint letter from us lawmakers flagging their concerns about the level of us support for ukraine. now it's not the 1st time we've heard such complaints, but are these voices getting louder? i think i think the voices are getting louder. will they make an impact? i'm not sure on that. it seems like we look at the vote just at the recent both
7:11 pm
have a separate a special i g for or ukraine. it was overwhelming. he rejected, i think read up to 30 something. so it's got an issue on both parties, but at least we've got the republican voices that are starting to get more or turn out there and more echoing and be being heard a little bit. will that be enough? i'm not sure. but then what happens on the public side as well to the public for their own members? this is, this is just can't, it can't continue. like it's a black hole for money and an expenditure going to realize the defense industry is getting a lot, but we've got a lot of cash flow over there are 2 that amazingly just by disappearing. yeah. now on that note,
7:12 pm
i mean you have these lawmakers that are signing off on a left and right brain with no tangible accountability, at least though we're seeing yet. so i guess the question becomes, are there any limits to the level of u. s. a ukraine or isn't in fact a bottomless pit. i mean, how long can they continue to go on like this? i think the politically, there's going to be a limit. there's going to be a last back at some point. but, you know, if you hear the rhetoric coming out of the apartment in the white house, it's like, it's a bottom line. yeah. and so it's really going to be up to congress break. and, and that me, the people, i mean look, that we've got so many problems here, the drug flowing across the border. we've got accidents happening. we just had another explosion today that was horrible. other chemical type, the floating you've got to, you know, how i got issues in our schools. you know, people are fed up,
7:13 pm
they are fed up and at some point it is we'll backlash. but right now we've got a state where we've got a policy that is going full, bore ahead, no back back at all, no off brand plan, new strategy. and we've got to white house that supporting as well. so it's very dangerous situation and it's dangerous for us and dangerous from the world at that . well, yeah, and i know on one hand you have the argument that obviously this is money that is coming from american tax payers that needs to be spent on issues at home. but then on the other hand, you also have all of these concerns about corruption here. i mean, we know that ukraine has a long history of corruption. so how is it that you think that these lawmakers are still justifying signing away on all of this a, knowing the corruption that has existed and still exist in the country?
7:14 pm
yeah, it's you know, it's just amazing the we already know we just got uncovered and they know we have the pentagon and leaks that verified it that we've got our senior people, our senior staff here know about the corruption ukraine. we know that we actually have the director burns talk to a resident zalinski about the issue. we know that they've scarp the minimum of $500000000.00 off and in belt. so it's in and we also know that there are weapons on the black market. there's a lot of senior people in new grade that are making a lot of money, and i'm sure there's a kickback from the defense industry for contributions to our own members. there's a lot of money going around in it. and we also saw the whole, the whole circular thing going on on the crypto,
7:15 pm
where ukraine was investing in the company that went bust and they were contributing to taking political contribution as well. so it's very complicated situation unless we've got somebody that's got control over everything and it has some authority. nothing's going to big get done. and we've got an id at a d d department and we've got contribution coming from all over the place. but they can't love each other and they're, they got their own stuff with their own department. well, we need a special. i got the effect like he appointed and we need to give them the authority to get the call over at the run around the train. right. and it seems like in many cases, they've almost kind of learned from the last 20 years and afghan fan and, you know, we compare that to countries and we look back at the fact that in afghanistan, they were paying money to a $150000.00. go civil servants, is their concerns,
7:16 pm
is that could be the case in ukraine right now and that the numbers could be even higher this time. oh, absolutely. i mean, we know we are already paying for the government, civil servants. i think we're paying military salaries as well. i mean, we're paying pensions. i mean, we're, we cover, we're covering stuff for ukrainians that we don't cover for our own citizens. and that needs that somebody needs to wake up with that and, and yet are there's going to be just knowing the history of the country as far as the corruption goes. will there be goes, the civil service goes the other pay out? absolutely, absolutely i'm, i'm, i'm thoroughly convinced that there will be, i just cannot imagine the, we have the issues in the, in our, in afghanistan. and i think we had issues in iraq. i am positive with
7:17 pm
no central oversight. you're definitely going to be end with the history of the country. there are definitely going to be a similar issue, maybe even more in the yeah, certainly a lot of daycare hand will continue to follow it. international consultant, earl rasmussen, thank you so much for your time. and insight on europe is interfering again and teenagers, internal affairs with the german foreign minister, claiming the country has undermined the democratic achievements of the early spring by arresting the country's opposition. leader. tunisia is in we viewed the arrest brushwood, gallucci, the leader of the denisia and polity marked down with the greatest concern. as was the egyptian president, statements on various democratic issues in recent past. the democratic achievement, since 2011 and tenicia must not be lost. we also discussed this intensively at our last you foreign ministers meeting and brussels due from each for the former
7:18 pm
speaker of parliament and member of the and not half party was arrested on monday for allegedly plotting against speech security. and the last 3 months, more than 20 politicians from the opposition has spoken out against the current government, have been arrested. teenagers president earlier slammed the quote flagrant interference in his country's affairs. after concerns were raised, particularly in europe. or not the battle to blatant interference in our faces. unacceptable. we're an independent sovereign state and we do not accept any interference in our affairs. this is where you will see bill weston, a government wanting to interfere with african affairs. it is not necessary for the people of tunisia this, that interested that they have in that particular country so that the, they're not interested in the, in the, in their masters or to music or the publishing of music that insist is mainly what
7:19 pm
they want to achieve for that one benefits teenagers, democracy came to being in the wake of the western back arab spring at 2011. but european officials are now lamenting its loss. the emerging government was facing accusations of corruption and ineffectiveness early on, while the country suffered profound economic and political problems. many tunisians left the country seeking a new life and better opportunities in europe. political analyst joan song believes that europe is just catering to its own interests by interfering into nature's internal matters. if you go back to take it back to the 2011 events of the upstream, it was sponsored by this day. and you can choose. so anything that would be for the horse that the bed for then they will say it's of wood feet. anything that would be i guess that interest, it's
7:20 pm
a problem. you can go to any other country in africa. there was one other person that is opposing the present that they do not like when africa has elections. there were only same people that they called observers by 2 in europe has election. so american african, asians will never go there to observe the elections. so that tells you that the western or that you americans, the still have the mazda levy, a kind of mentality that they have about africa. there's no good intentions. they're not, not far from to neither libya, same same country, not far from pennies that they destroyed to the financial through net, to all sorts of things that they wanted to loot. they will mention that run contest capture the attendees against the other. so to get african countries to fight against each other, while these exploiting and looting good assist with the u. s. has accused
7:21 pm
several of its citizens that conspiring to interfere in the countries elections, spreading ration propaganda and having ties with the kremlin. we support a russia to protect good, so from the a going, growing a desperate attacks by, by white power that we see happening coming out of ukraine. all 4 of the americans who are charged are affiliated with a political movement that supports the empowerment of the black community. 3 russian citizens have also been accused in the case, one of them, alexander ear, not strongly rejects the claims and says all the case, prove is how the 1st amendment, the freedom of speech is no longer alive in today's america. to say why, during this, they revoke their own constitutional 1st amendment right. it does not exist today.
7:22 pm
the freedom of religious and political views does not exist in american society. apparently without having any actual evidence regarding my criminal case, they announced a reward of 10000000 dollars to anyone who has any information about me. my case is a case of revenge. it is a political case. i think this is not the latest development. he'll be dragging my case out until the end of the year, or at least until the elections. there are concerns the u. s. government as effectively trying to outlaw any positive speech about russia, as ortiz, marina closer reports. the scary russians are back at it again, meddling and us elections, and this man as the suppose, a mastermind alexander eon of. he is accused of using a government funded organization called the anti globalization movement of russia to carry out an influence campaign in coordination with russia. security forces, 2 of whom were also charged for allegedly being part of the project. russians
7:23 pm
foreign intelligence service, allegedly weaponized, our 1st amendment royce freedoms. russia denies it soon, citizens to divide americans and interfere in the elections in the united states. the department will not hesitate to expose and prosecute those who so discord and corrupt you selections in service of hostile foreign interests, regardless of whether the call for his r u. s. citizens or foreign individuals abroad. so now it's not trump or twitter that russia is using to confuse americans. those accusations sort of backfired in their face with the cia and the white house. expose. what's helen's widow? what to do? remember that for now, russia security services are pushing moscow's agenda in the united states, apparently through these local organization. so we have the african people socialist party and this, and see colonialist movement based in florida, as well as the black hammer group. one of the main objectives of this whole operation was reportedly to promote a particular candidate running for local office in st. petersburg,
7:24 pm
florida in 2019 no details regarding who it was or which election, but if it was the city council elections while they weren't that successful, as their candidate lost by a large percentage. so sounds like much ado about nothing but not according to washington ego. so they don't even need to think much about the subjects and the composition of these actions. they're very good at compiling information always where it needs to be invented our colleagues who are particularly intimidated and they're still being exhibit. it is sir. signals began to be received from somewhere in 2016. they were called her interrogations. the 1st they got to were the united nations anti war coalition. america has the toughest law when it comes to foreign agents, as we see that actually gives the right to the american special services to act as they act when they want to eliminate the most dangerous terrorists and criminals. while the russians in this case have nothing to worry about, since they're not physically there, at least it's
7:25 pm
a different story for the american citizens. they've been charged with conspiracy to defraud. they go s or some are also charged with impersonating agents of a foreign governments. and again for want communicating with russians for share in their opinion or because their opinion was inconvenience. people attend international conferences all the time. is that illegal now? no money was exchanged? no evidence of f as be cooperation. yet for american citizens affiliated with a black empowerment organizations have been indicted for supposedly help in russia and saw this sport in u. s. society. how exactly? by voicing their points of view, which happens to match rushes or people are allowed to have their own opinion. this man has been the leader of the american base socialist and african movement for many years and has been speaking his mind all along. he claims he knew that this was coming and he insists he didn't need russians to tell him about racism, white supremacy and unfair elections in the us military forces identifying
7:26 pm
themselves as their b. r. my home. oh, they use flash bang, renee i am at vehicles. they threat my life and threaten my life, but you don't have declared that got people so stupid that it takes lessons to tell us that we i press out a is a worker that america is oh, in any case, washington seems to have kill 2 birds with one stone there, and they did it as though it was an imminent right to american national security. they went in with all guns blazing well in a separate case. also, on tuesday, the u. s. department of justice charged a russian woman natalia borlin over of acton illegally as a foreign agents in the u. s. by supposedly conspiring with an f as be agent,
7:27 pm
to recruit americans from academic and research institutions to travel to russia to participate in the public diplomacy program. called meeting russia. well, that sounds like it could have had a detrimental impact on american politics. here's the irony, even if all this was true, it still wouldn't be anywhere near the amounts of american influence been pushed around here in russia for decades, supporting and funding rushes opposition and barriers russian n g o's, n, the name of democracy, or the u. s. condemning the conviction of a rush, an activist who betrayed his country by lobbying watson governments, imposed sanctions against russia. that case was politically motivated apparently, but all this or no, it's not journalist mat i e b is making plenty of headlights with the twitter falls . revelations has now been threatened with jail by
7:28 pm
a u. s. congresswoman for allegedly lying under oath that comes from a leak document obtained by the 0 hedge media outlet. it is come to my attention that information foundational to your testimony. that day has since been a reveal to be false and misleading under the federal perjury statute. providing false information is punishable by up to 5 years imprisonment. after a one must check over the social media giant last year i ab began to publish documents proving former twitter executives had ties to washington and the platform moderator showed a bias against opponents of the by min ministration. several democrat house members are now accusing him of lying during his testimony because he later made an error in a tweet that included information he gave in the congressional hearing. but washington reaction has sparked a strong response from the journalism community. it's disturbing the to member of
7:29 pm
congress who determined to threaten a journalist with imprisonment for summarizing his report and during the congressional hearing, stacy plaskett trying to disprove the notion that the federal government is being weaponized against dissenters by threatening mat tabby with 5 years jail time. reckless behavior by stacy plaskett, disagree with ty, be all you want, but there is no better way to confirm the point of his reporting lentils. frederick henry's imprisonment for telling congress, and both his reporting, legal and media analysts. lionel believes that mat, ab received the prison threats because he expose just what washington had been up to and manipulating twitter something the media should have been doing all along. up until now, we've always said in this country that twitter is a private organization. it's a private organization. if you don't like twitter, go someplace else, it, your private organization, whatever they do is up to them is up to the independent. you can't make them do
7:30 pm
something. they have nothing to do with the government. they're independent. ok. now we're finding out, i know, according to my id and others, not only are they working with a government, they might be a proxy of the government. they may be a wholly owned subsidiary of the government, and that opens up a 1st amendment point. let me say that again, when you have a seemingly private enterprise working as an agent of the government. and 1st amendment rights are being cut off, being suspended or being crushed because of that connection. now you open up a new realm of address. the 1st amendment violation because private companies cannot violate the 1st amendment. it only can be violated by the government. now we've got disconnection. this is huge. this is huge when when you give up the wrong infer.
