of low cost affected people and especially women and children, are both traumatized and have immediate humanitarian needs, such as food, water, and dignity and sanitation kits. we condemn these barbaric acts in the strongest terms possible. it is disheartening to see innocent citizens being killed in their properties destroyed in such a gruesome manner. the region is located between nigeria. as most of the muslim domestic heard the community in the nose and mainly christy and thomas in the south figures. it struggled to make the ethnic and religious tensions with the violent escalating of the last few weeks off the brief, with spite during the countries february and march elections while local residents hold on. see that the government isn't doing enough to stop such tragic events. the reasons is if you go from a, what do they need to? maybe to provide enough enough security that will be providing these areas, particularly there remote areas. i think that's maybe cons cortez, so it's
12:31 am
a city of homes. but if not, it's time likely to happen because it's in the we, these people are coming in to the, to the community greeting. they're waiting to hear if it shows that something positive happens. if this department doing those, you can do something about it on thursday, around 250 villages, led by church need as much through the city of jewels denouncing the killings on spiraling violence. local residents told us the government needs to take action. now the supplement policy is sufficient for right? no more is the one the
12:32 am
government most. this is a need to approach just these the just distance. it must be seem to be walk you because you because you have the beginning cool. these power to do so talk to you to continue adapt. that's what was just this is dispense is that that's we stop and government has the will power to do it, but that's how you start a site. the u. s. congress has to raise the country's debt ceiling, all the nation risk defaulting on as loans. as the warning for the us treasury secretary who edited washington only has 10 days left to deal with the crisis, or it will run out of money. we know estimate that treasury will have in sufficient resources to satisfy the government's obligations if congress has not raised or suspended the debt limits by june. 5th, during the week of june, 5th,
12:33 am
treasury is scheduled to make an estimated $92000000000.00 of payments and transfers. therefore, our projected resources would be inadequate to satisfy all of these obligations. see us that ceiling, which is the total amount of money that the country can borrow to fund itself is now the $31.00 trillion dollars. however, that figure needs to be raised in order for washington, not to default on loads for the 1st time in his history. a solution now lives in the hands of congress, which controls the cap on us, far away, leaving republicans and democrats scrambling to find a middle ground. american media outlets. the also solving the alarm stating that the defaulting would have major consequences, not just for americans, for the whole world. there's a saying that when the us news is the rest of the world catches the cold. so in other words, when we go into a recession, we take everyone else down with us as a fault to the country in international markets,
12:34 am
into chaos. we think of the us treasury market, us an answer for the a global financial system. and this anchor needs to halt. we don't know how the government is going to go about that process, because as i wanna remind you, it's never happened before the united states has never defaulted. early am i called a p to scott, discuss the latest us crisis with policy contribute. so chris ends is military, a to ukraine is now in the sport liked as republicans and democrats tried to reach a new debt ceiling due to go the largest economy in the world. not able to service any of it stats. and you know, it's not just a problem for the us as a order. the other countries that depends on the us, the kind of competed by them, all of those countries will end up down, you know, down the drain, if the us comp paid to pay to help them out. so to do whatever they do with them. in addition to their own economy, do you think the democrats and republicans will be able to find a compromise and quite literally, can they afford not to?
12:35 am
i don't, and they can afford not to. i think the, the, the consequences a to dia. but i think the 1st area contention is, is ukraine, right? the biggest problem i think that we're staying with, with most of the, most of the republicans in the house is that say, look, and this is a, okay, you know, we can, we can give you more money, but we don't want you to want to give you all this money so that you just send it over live its new crime. what do you do with arriving people with that right economy? so i think that's going to be, we're gonna have to see how that deal is done because it seems a binary binding is just hell bent on giving. so let us get as much money as possible is called into the killings jew for world economies have made the 19th u. s. has given $75000000000.00 in military aid to ukraine. is that a lot of uh, an economy the size of america's. what i think we, let's look at another stop from america. so the us census in 2019 said the, about 13000000 americans live under the poverty line. so it's $77000000.00 that could really go to help those people out a lot more rather than just be sending this money to buy. but they basically buy weapons that it designed to kill people not to save lives. i think most americans
12:36 am
are waking up in spending the coffee now and going, you know, hang on. there's all these things that are wrong with, with the town i live in with my life, with all these things where i could really do with the government actually stepping in and helping me out as opposed to just telling us that we need to write so full money and send it to send it to fight the conflicts far away from us in a country. probably most of us haven't even heard off into the, you know, just on the 2 years ago, you know, this obviously isn't the 1st time that the americans encountered this problem. and previously they have raised the debt ceiling unless a few but do come to a compromise, which it seems like they have to can they just didn't definitely keep raising the best thing forever. i think the officers of it. yes. um no. i think yes they time, but no, they called if the rest of the world stops depending on the us dollar, the only way they can do that. and the only way they can keep them perpetuates in this, this, the absolute crazy well that they've created is if everyone's still trades in the us dollar, the dollar eyes ation process could kill that ability for them to keep on increasing
12:37 am
that, that borrowing and borrowing, borrowing and correcting fictitious numbers, the service, whatever sort of women that they have to deal with in the international arena. the brain implants, it could soon become a reality, as it on most company near link has received approval from the us food and drug administration to conduct his supposed of a human clinical trials. according to most of the implants will create a brain ship into phase, which will eventually help disable patients to move, communicate, and see again, the ca, clearance comes midwife and concerns either new orleans previous experimentation on um animals. the company has paid a keys to premature testing, causing the unnecessary suffering and death of monkeys. pigs and sheep is also be blamed for allegedly illegal transportation of dangerous pathogens via tips. extract it from test subjects without proper containment meshes. but we discussed the ethics of such controversial projects with political analyst,
12:38 am
alex reporting fee on the independent journalist charlie boyle. if you look at a, an sd a pre, it's clinical trial, even though they might produced a trial in series. and when she looked at the details, this particular case, but as how many recruits yet am they? it doesn't look like they haven't mentioned any particular protocols for the trial . i can tell you having studied the kind of of charles myself so they can take months just to get the protocol agree back and forth between the various agencies. i mean, i ca, i'm, i'm the actual um, a company just letting the trial on the other side. so, i mean, well, this looks like good news on the site to the size of it. it could easily just be a by should be a t. all right, so size to recruit. and then the next stage lot to start is to is to develop the protocol which could still site mountain so it can still be denied otherwise. you know, i have a, an issue with this, you know, the f, b a has a very, very tainted track record. we just have to look back a few years ago at the
12:39 am
o. p. o. 8 pandemic that riddled throughout america killed millions of people and be made a millions of people that use the o. b o a drugs become addicted. and that is filling the american streets here of people that have become addicted to this drug. and when you hear f d, that doesn't mean that, you know, it has a stamp of approval from an organization that has good intent. just look at the track record of the seeing what even happened. just recently in the world at pandemic. when they're rushing to the market here, i really think that this is something that we need to slow down. i mean, you are mosque is an incredibly intelligent person trying to move, you know, innovation forward and the better of mankind. but we also have to look at, you know, the companies that are getting involved here. the ca finds that it is perfectly
12:40 am
acceptable to do this on human beings. i mean, and let's see what happens once they approve it. it sounds very cool, innovative moving forward, but we really have to look back at the past year and the mistakes, i mean monkeys and animals and laboratories. i mean, boy, this really brings alarm bells in my mind. the world is a few seconds away from nuclear war. those are the words of one of america's most controversial media celebrities. alex jones doing an exclusive interview to ortiz, german language tunnel. well, we have the same level of forces. surveilling us centering us and collapsing our borders, destroying our currencies and funding of the beginning of world war 3. and so i personally am, you know, doing great, i have 4 children, i'm happily married. and i'm in the site for human freedom. and are you a true liberal system, not the false fashion system that masquerades as liberal. and so you know,
12:41 am
i personally am in the fight, so i feel good about that. but i'm very, very sad. the state of the world, a very sad for what's happening for all sides and ukraine and all the that sir, i'm very concerned about. i moves now to go to war with china. so i'm really an concerned, you know, we have the major international organizations, like the atomic scientists grew. that estimate were the closest nuclear war we've ever been in the history of nuclear weapons and 1945. and so the world is about to do just a few seconds to midnight. and so that's what i'm really concerned about. so really, i guess i'm, i don't do all the worlds i do, i do well, but it seems like something we weren't aware of. there's more sleep walking into arm again, it looks jordans is the owner of the popular website info was which has been criticized for support in conspiracy theories. i claimed he denies jones has been found from a variety of mainstream media platforms, including facebook, twitter,
12:42 am
and youtube. one of the biggest control overseas was a lawsuit filed on behalf of the families of victims of the 2012 sandy hook school shooting and connection to his public claims that they can charge. they was changed to ins wise on to testify that he had changed his views on the events on the apologize, but was order to pay any $1500000000.00 intuitive damages. meanwhile, he is what else they had to say to us see about the worst and role in the ukraine complex i was, i talked about robi parker, so they opened trulia for any and elected government 9 years ago. and as proxy war started then, and then a year and a half ago, the russians in the east were being driven out and their pipelines being taken to put and basically believes i can see the point for us to come in that we wanna try to do a trap, and i saw that on here and i'll do it. so there's, there's blame on both sides. but i'd say 80 percent of blame goes on to nato. but out of the globalized, germany's been guilty because of world war 2. germany doesn't know the world anything. germany was 20 plug to 1000000 people in that war. what's the nazis were
12:43 am
done? the nazi's were done. so stop what are the you and, and then the people that run the us your, you into, you've got to now go out and prove how good you are and fight the russian nazis. or you're helping hitler. it because i've heard that propaganda, and i will just tell germans that you're suffering because the pipeline being blown up by bard, me brag the, what was the blowed up? preposterous. the russians get a bite and said, if the russians go in to ukraine, we will get rid of an order from pipeline one way or another victoria deal until they get rid of it. and then we even know the navy sailors, they trained in panama to do it because the navy seals report back to congress. there's oversight. so we know they blew it up. we know how they blew it up. and so for anybody to say the old site of hers says they blew it up site, hers has the witnesses. but, but everybody knows that that's a obama as a 3rd ministration of obama. really, everybody knows of biden blew up the pipeline. and it's a crime against humanity to cut off the power of the same day. they blew it up that
12:44 am
other pipeline out of europe, up and up. so this whole thing is court in of protesting is great running around you all that. but if people started actually going and protesting of the houses of the globalist, they started pulling their money out of the companies. the global is what has happened with black rock. you have, they started exposing the actual controls and the duct farmers have been told they're gonna shut down most are farmers by 2031 sort of food the world produced there. i mean, this is economic warfare against us. all we need to unify worldwide against the globalized against the private megs against black rock against man guard against larry think. and those are the real controllers. the larry finch that was a, there's a lensky user down here, the little puppets. and we need to identify that culturally and pull our money out of the big corporations support, mom and bob, and just anything coming out of hollywood through the office. one person has been
12:45 am
killed and 2 children wounded by the latest ukrainian shelling of rushes belgrade. region local governors say such a day was the hardest day. yet for the boat, a town of a ship civic tino the official himself witnessed some of the ukrainian shows exploding in the vicinity. he has transformed body 2 factories in the town skulking fires, that electrical lines were also damaged, leaving many civilians without power to goody was by the legendary works. the walls of pink floyd famous being targeted with a criminal play by juvenile thirty's, off that he had paid at a concert temple and wearing a costume from the coach classic 1992 from the wall, which well just has wasted based on his bands album. the outfits, a black trench coat with a red button showing too close to him. those was famous. they use the missile power could show as critique of fascist dictator. however late and responded to the parents of walters in the costume of the concert earlier this month within,
12:46 am
within the accusation. but he was trying to in select the people just by the sides to the out faithful. no, not the symbols of any kind of german police claim vote is, could be quote, glorifying or justifying the violence to an arbitrary will lift the nazi regime. the musician himself is plans, the allegations against him, which he stays all politically motivated. of the elements of my performance that have been questioned or quite clearly, a statement in opposition to fascism, injustice and bigotry in all its forms, attempts to betray those elements of something else or disingenuous and politically motivated. the depiction of unhinged fascist demagogue has been a feature of my show since pink floyd's the wall in 1980 the
12:47 am
i've spent my entire life speaking out against authoritarianism and oppression. wherever i see it. my parents spot the nazis in world war 2 with my father paying the ultimate price regardless of the consequences of the attacks against me, i will continue to condemn injustice and all those who perpetrated anyways, and you as well as his house, come under criticism in the west of his support for the palestinian struggle against is really occupation and his opposition to nato is moved against russia also and will correspondence homeless wordpress site. it's shameful to see gemini, a country with a painful history of fascism now trying to prosecute an off to is to his views. chris, political um they even tried to um, stuff his concepts and buildings. of course, his political opinions. i'm not very popular with the german government. um, so this is really political to try to do that. he made several announcements regarding the best and policy, especially if you, regarding russia,
12:48 am
ukraine and so on. and this brought them into the focus of general policy of jumping media so they are trying to shoot against them. and what that, what, and what was, what i want they can jump in law is strictly prohibited everything which is showing that the symbols and things like that. and they are trying to use this law in this case, i think that will be not, no big success. be worth this costume already. he did it in earlier times and it is especially if i'm, if i move it to criticize a fashion, but um yeah, it's, it's, it's a media campaign. it's important politically to complain and that's, that's how you can explain that. well, it's a shame for germany, what they're doing in general with the history of this time in mexico officials, the gearing up for an evacuation of civilians that made an ongoing volcano erupted us from the public cause a pass of okay. no, in the central part of mexico has delayed multiple flies in the countries capital is the 1st time it's abrupt and since 1994 in
12:49 am
a previous time before that was moved in a 1000 years ago. warranties have not yet announced an evacuation, but have already deployed soldiers in the region on the coast of the roads leading to the volcano. so we can keep on top of all the latest updates on been signed by checking our website, all t dot com. as always we appreciate your company. thank you for choosing onto the international the so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy from foundation. let it be an arms race is on all sides. very dramatic. the only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk
12:51 am
most whistle blowers even when they know they're doing the right thing by blowing the whistle on waste fraud, abuse or illegality. have their lives up ended their ruined personally financially and professionally. and they sometimes even go to prison today will tell you about one of the most important and impactful financial whistle blowers in the world. when you probably have never heard of. i'm john kerry aku welcome to the whistle blower. the into one bill tour was an auditor at the luxembourg office of a public accounting giant price waterhouse coopers from 2008 to 2010. he saw his job as one of being on the side of the regulators, of keeping the honest people honest. instead, he found a massive system of fiscal optimization, allowing large multinational corporations to avoid paying taxes in countries where
12:52 am
they were conducting business. that's called income tax evasion. it might also be called conspiracy in 2011 and $1.00 resign from p w c. but before leaving, he downloaded documents detailing tax deals that the firm had brokered with the luxembourg government, allowing companies to funnel billions of dollars through luxembourg, thereby slashing corporate tax bills by billions of dollars in the countries in which they were based on which they did business and twan shared the documents with the french journalist who used them as the basis for a television documentary. and soon after p w. c filed a complaint with the luxembourg court, when the international consortium of investigative journalists began reporting on the more expensive luxembourg leaks, or lux leaks case. criminal charges were filed against n t one facing 5 years in pr. ready and later, 10 years in prison and one was convicted in december, 2014. he was sentenced to a 12 month suspended prison term and a fine to 1500 year rose. he appealed,
12:53 am
but his conviction was upheld. undaunted, he appealed again. and in january 2018, the court of cessation recognized him as a whistle blower and dismissed all of the charges. even before he won his appeal, the european parliament recognized antoine as a whistle blower and awarded him the european citizens prize in 2015 and one we are honored to have you on the show. thank you so much for joining us. you're welcome. you know, let's start at the beginning. you were a young auditor at price waterhouse coopers, one of the largest and most important big for professional services firms in the world. take us back to that time. what did you see that made you think something was wrong? and when did you see it? it was my 1st professional experience. it was in 2008 from 2008 to 2010. and i was just a junior user. so my work was uh,
12:54 am
just to make uh, financial of this uh, which consists in uh, verifying the accuracy of the accounts of my hands. so those are the kinds of the, the, but you see it looks numbered, were mainly belonging to the financial sector. and what i discovered there was that's most, hey, let's say, oh my hands were in luxembourg. i me for tax purposes. so i'm just, yeah i, i wasn't totally naive when i applied to a job in look somewhere. okay. and he was at the tax advantage where bots of looks and brokerage activity, but what i found out as it janeiro deter that's is that's most as nice as has no real economic activity, no employees, no turnover and,
12:55 am
and had specific agreements pulled as on sticks agreements so those ex rulings in each looks and brooks that's, that's, i mean, 3 administration approved some very, very, as the damages adventurous, a tax practice is just to give an example for one of the firm i was, or the thing i found out that if it's eve, a tax rates was around 3 percent instead of the normal x rays around 20 or 50 persons. so it was that was very, very low. and that's was a road bike. i think the tax administration, which approved obviously is the tax treatments. can you tell us what exactly
12:56 am
p w c was doing to help companies avoid taxes? and what was the luxembourg government's role in all this to choose um, people use bought uh as an auditor or was i need to verify the accounts. but the so is, this is a trouble fee or its uh, departments because there is a, so, uh, an advisory and tax the past month. now does it provide the professional services including tax advice. so just to make it simple, uh, you have to imagine that's what it was to loose national companies operating in europe have a, an entity in luxembourg that is used to lower their textbook. and i, so the way you see has the knowledge of,
12:57 am
of it's motivational clients and, uh, and is really well informed to, to, to provide the tax advice and how to lower as, as a, as a, as a tax do. and, and, and what's the advice was to, to set up a look some burg, uh, ncc that had new p o economic activity. uh, but uh that's i was asking a tax id months to the tax. but for me to use the suspects every month is a, as soon as you go um and is used to just approved in advance, which would be the tax treatments of uh, some sometimes complex. uh, operations is a um, a, a crust. ballinger and considerations is going to be very complex. this way. sometimes you need is a, the approval of,
12:58 am
of us and 3 of the authorities to liver. and, uh, you got a risk, you, you, you take. but that's what was really shocking in luxembourg is this, is it, that is the system of admin specs that agreements was used to, to, to, to approve the reading and receive text practices and was some interpretation of for international like screws. uh that's it could be attacked in other countries because it was a really, a, it was going too far and, and then i just, and i, i found those use in 2000 and then as a new context that's maybe quite similar is the current context. it was a context of post financial increase. this was
12:59 am
a very strong debase about the public budgets, especially in greece. greece has a very strong pressure to, uh, to cuts or endings uh, ends with uh, increasing inequalities with many people struggling through to have access with traditions from who have a and, and, and in my opinion. so it was a direction between the difficulties of governments to collect enough resources to face because he is and, and what i was observing in looks and broke was big motivation. most was huge. profits was most no tax paid. i spent 4 years at the lloyd, then it was the lloyd and touche that was one of price waterhouse coopers,
1:00 am
major competitors. so i know what kind of training you went through. it was the same as my training. we were taught that if you see something illegal were unethical, you must reported immediately. you go through the chain of command or through the ethics officer. and if your chain of command is involved in the illegal or on ethical behavior, you go to the government. what was the process that you went through to report the wrong doing? and when did you decide to go to the media? actually, i say there are many steps. and so the 1st one was my food understanding of a single case. uh because i, i, i of things that more and more often, i mean my, my work and the once i did myself as a junior, are due to her because i already did my search for small entity. and i had the full, uh and there's a google picture of what was going on between the hours of the entities as a group. and i found out that's also prophy if that's for shifted to listen to.
