guess as make russians, i am grateful that the house of representatives unanimously passed my amendments last night to ensure the military does not train members of the repulsive neo nazi as a battalion along with 1000000 measures to keep the dangerous and easily traffic mind portable air defense systems out of these unstable regions, however, a significant shift in the western note have occurred in february 2022 within months, as all fighters with being states as in congress semen, stanford university. i'm s and they sees wound over ukrainian soldier who switch account overflowed with me. you now to images. facebook made this taunting decision to allow post praise in the as of battalion, even though the company admitted that he was a hate group. this overnight normalization of white supremacy was possible because west and institutions driven by a z o to ignore allison negative about our ukranian allies. decided that in new labs and military formation in

a war til nation have suddenly miraculously stopped being near nancy. the magic of, uh nancy, germany as being uh, in grain do you know of societies along the line of this? never again uh model and to see uh the amount of, uh, media support find those different bodies hover being extended to arrange game that essentially save rates uh individual such as they found on their uh, uh to this day. uh and uh, we basically relies a lot on the relays that he has in the united states and uh, and kind of the in the as far as the uh, daughters ins, granddaughters and sons or stormwind. angie's form, you frame and it's something that no, nobody the west would have ever imagined. the icon all gor fee associated with

these extremist hate groups like the school and lost those symbols, infamously, worn by concentration. camp guards, as well as the enigmatic emblem and known as the block sun, has indeed surface with noticeable wave was sick on the uniforms of soldiers active leave. fighting on the front lines, something that was hard to ignore, even for the mainstream media. ukraine's ambivalence about the symbols and sometimes even its acceptance of them. risk giving new main stream live to icons that the west has spend more than a half century trying to eliminate edwards. he is binding opposition. parties and any voice is criticizing. the military is links to neo nazi groups. it appears that the opinions of your brain is living abroad and those residing in the country point to very different perceptions of ukraine. could it possibly imply that there is greater freedom to engage in discussions concerning these matters outside the

nations borders? this only had to all of one of kids. largest monasteries, claims that you credited security officials offered him a plea deal. that's if he denounces the ukranian orthodox church, which has ancient ties to russia as simple as the transition of his mono street to the orthodontist church of ukraine. metropolitan pop up refused to do the same. he's done nothing wrong. he was speaking in a cold inc. here, where a judge extend to these codes house arrest until the end of august walk in april. he was charged with inciting religious hatred and just divine walk you have calls, brushing aggression is just days ago the you planning present, followed him is a landscape proposed a deal me a bill moving the celebration of christmas from the orthodox to conflict. coming to i think that's pushing ideology, including religion is imposed on ukrainians. the move comes a middle long lasting car down by kid on the planning and orthodox church academic on gentlest jason, michael believes the persecution started back in 2018. so to mention of this,

because this is part of an ongoing propaganda campaign where and the broadest of all possible sensors, the ukranian regime was being given a blank check by. ready a total of the european union and the united states. what was happening to the ukranian orthodox church is an ongoing past secure. and it's concerning that metropolitan pothole has been on the how you start asked them that this has gone on since last april. behind this, of course, we can trace this back much foamed up to 2018 when the ukrainian government and p as voted, as i liked of parliament as a, as a government moved to remain the church. and it's very rare, particularly in any state pretending to be a liberal democratic state, to use an act of parliament for subjects to change its name, to reflect some form of incentives for the legion, you know,

to put into parenthesis, the multiple patriarch, kate, you know, this would be a can, you know, during perhaps world war 2 when, but it was a war with adults hitler on his allied miscellany to re label the catholic church in england, vitaly and catholic church. and the news versus the top diplomats claims that ukraine has turned the black sea green deal into a commercial venture, meaning that there's no longer any arguments from us. go to prolong it the machine . yeah, good. these deal to the west assets you towards the greenville is outrageous. the wisest published a justification document where they try to prove that off fertilizers in food and not sanctioned. we cited data, the grain from it, ukraine goes to commercial purposes and not to the poorest countries. since the beginning of the initiative. 32.5000000 tons of grades have been exported from ukraine. 9 recipients of the congo or the you almost 40 percent fall just over 2.5

percent of the grades have been exported to the porous nations. many you countries and protesting against continued inputs of ukrainian grapes without terrorist is it homes? farm is in the book. if the you was worried about food security, let them buy up this surplus grain and send it to developing nations. it's really starting to look like the black sea gray deal is intent on boosting ukraine screw sales while trying to control and suppressed rushes, rather than ensuring that both countries get their exports out of the conflicts though defeated was for. it's kind of like the classic fairytale cinderella when her we could step mom wanted to make her look ugly and unattractive, while at the same time, guessing up her less attractive step sisters under the deal broker by the united nations. in turkey. the west was supposed to clear the way for all rain and fertilizer exports for both countries, but instead it down such a mass, a lot of you creating grain all over itself that its own farmers rebels,

resulting in bailouts and temporary in fort bans into eastern europe but ukrainian president wagner zalinski has been saying recently that clean ursula fall under line european commission president, who's been very active in the role of wicked stepmother here, has promised him that the curbs on the printing grain will soon be lifted. she's been leading the charge and attempting to apply russia in the eyes of the world, the sanctions that effectively scare off shippers and ensures of russian commodities of all trying to promote you brain as the bell of the ball. now the deal is up for renewal again this month, and russian has pointed out repeatedly that data affectively per tales, its exports while promoting ukraine's. and now the western press saving experts is complaining that russia's brain is just too powerful and risk quote, tightening it's dripping on the world's wheat. supply grain is not just important for feeding russians, but also it's

a primary export that enhances russia self power. being the world's number one way to explore to is an accomplishment that's well understood in moscow. so like cinderella's ugly clothes and the green deal seems to serve to marginalize russia, antiques hotel in the countries attractive natural assets. a bumper harvest, in this case, in the same way that western sanctions were meant to globally undermine russian energy. now the u. s. department of agriculture is pointing out that one in 5 global wheat exports this season, starting july 1st, is likely to originate from russia. do you think that the west would be thrilled about that, particularly since they also cite the middle east and north africa as rushes t buyers, they seem to be in need of it. so the world they claim to want to feed is actually getting fed thanks to russia, but in reality, all of that is just a big concern troll. a big act that obscures their real priorities at agenda as

rushes and bass are to be 9 nations. as said, the generosity of western donors in relation to the prices and ukraine, which they themselves instigated is the place it is when it comes to syria. yep. and an african countries are western colleagues either have no money or allocated very reluctantly. and in small portions on ukraine alone, the us and it's satellites have already spent as much on weapons as the un office for coordination of humanitarian affairs has requested in 20 to the suite to provide humanitarian aid to all those in need around the world about $55000000000.00, you get a feel for wisdom priorities. those western priorities, the mainly focused on preventing relationships between russia and his partners. but you think they'd realize that that doesn't even work in fairytales, environmental, i to best go to some book, sends a clear message to the world this week, claiming russia it determines to destroy the environment. she was speaking on

a trip to care, to meet new cleaning and positive eco side and environmental destruction. it's a form before fair as the premiums by this point to know all too well. and so does russia. and that's where they are deliberately targeting the environments and people's livelihoods, and homes, and therefore also destroying lives are the main thing was attended by you. officials assessing the environmental damage caused by the war. the group was assembled days after the collapse of they cut off could um, an instance they condemned as a wall crime that must not go unpunished. of a sofa, no one as being officially held responsible media. unless lionel says well, that's based on the alarm of the environmental devastation being inflicted by the will be a solutions on not possibly discussion. at 1st, i must ask this question and not to be impertinent, not to be rude. the 1st of all,

i want to celebrate her activism because it's great to see young people involved. but as i said, it, many of a sudden it 2019 when we 1st saw her who wish the 1st time i ever saw her, she was at the you. when she looked into the camera was snarling, i mean, angry, laughing, she looked at us. i said, how do you, how are you when i said, who is this, what am i done? how dear me, what could be or who they go to school? who is this video for me? i been asking this question since remember there was global warming using working they know it's climate change and change by the way can be good or bad. and the question that i wish she would answer, or anybody else is, what do you want me to do about it? let's assume everything you're saying is true and i want to help. what is it? how do we fix this? it inspires this kind of

a nodding behavior and then the message. if you look at the lensky, he's probably asking the same thing. who's this in front of the west african states that between of us some has suspended the broadcasting rights of a french television channel. claimant is fed false information about the crisis in the country of the frank shadow, lashan and 4 is responsible for the consequences of the serious violations by broad costing, from information about the book. it a fast. so the book, canada disappear. and council for communication is suspending the program. so the tv channel shannon full from the packages of any paid audio visual service distribution for a period of 3 months in bochita fossa. it looks like francis hopes and dreams to stay in between the faucet and good books that have gone down the drain once again . and this off to the west efforts and nations need over it creates a suspended with immediate effect. french television, l. c. i full broad costing false information on the security situation and the can

see already started people to terrorism. now the decision did come following a popular, so known as the story to follow up with that as an important question. and which to originate to accuse your name is a new so mind me of making fools and baseless remarks on the security situation in pushing of fossil and the so how these and these militias reports were made on the 21st of april this year we according to the re election with body, so minus states, so that to heart is well advancing rapids. the state troops where using volunteers of to protect themselves from the on slots and without dimension in any sol, says, stating that 40 percent of the human fosters territory is occupied by 2 hodges. and that's more than 13000 people had died. and more than 2000000 had been displaced. now it would be just some of the comments that the journalist has made these comments. unlike for you to create even more and rates within the population. and

we can the necessary collaborations, thoughts between the army and the civilians. now did you remember that quick enough also has been experiencing a search design is by on move slips with the violence forcing people out of the homes. the locals continue to state that indeed ross is watching overtime to pause the k. austin, pushing the thoughts so and that width advocates fighting because upfront, if it's a few risk and it's a realism not because the problem was, as someone would say, i mean 5 is chicken. i really coming home to boosted in the west african and beach and add as many a current to say anything that is bolt lise can not stand for ever the jealous comments of deprived of honesty. she did not mention the numerous initiative taken by the authorities of booking a faso to ensure security in the country. no of the success is achieved by the army . know the losses suffered by terrorists. the news was biased. the angle was chosen

to demonstrate that the withdrawal of the french army would lead to complete chaos in this a hell region. the john lists comments were ultimately inflammatory. that would be the best them comes amid increasing the teams by the rookie knob authorities to restrict the operation to the independent media as well as roby and 2 french statements from a distance. it might come across as though the french can not catch the break, even though we all know that they've done this themselves. and this is what was your own doing because it is the 3rd time in about 7 months. that's the key to fossil authorities to have done this, the doing side suspended radio fronds international in december, 2022. also one of these nations of lending prod, form to a terrorist cheese, but to intimidate to the country in april, it's suspended or broke costs by the fonts for the, for, and use channel off to it. interviewed the she had arcade of north africa. friends

$24.00 is not only acting as a mouthpiece for these terrace, but worse, just providing a space for the legitimate ation of terrorist actions and hate speech. both the radio fronts and falls to the full which cub african, the phase chose me pop in that in the assets and the francophone dishes that it up is suspended even in neighboring monica, which is also run by a village in june tops. this is just the needs of steps of a form of those. now the question remains on with a french of media outlets. will provo attending the to the will continue to middle in these the fees. we go reaction on the streets of book, you know, fast. so to the presence of french media in the country, it is the book, you know, back, well, know what is happening here in the territory and the french, they don't know clearly what is happening, working a stranger cannot come into your family and know the problems. it's the family members that are responsible for something. i think it's completely normal that

french radio stations are suspended, as we have already signed agreements with russia. it is better that we continue with russia and continue with our defense and security forces. i think the return of the french army is not necessary to fight terrorism. it looks like the french army doesn't want to help us. we feel that they show this interest towards the country trust no longer exists towards the french army. so that's how things are looking at top plus 10 am on sunday morning. hey, in moscow? would i be able to this weekend? i hope it's up to a great start. my name's pizza, and i'll be back with a know the look at the top of the hour. thanks for watching the, the, the, [000:00:00;00]

the, [000:00:00;00] the part of our executive. and i'm here to plan with you whatever you do. do not watch my new show. seriously. why watch something that's so different whitelisted opinions that he won't get anywhere else. welcome to please or do have the state department c. i a weapons, bankers, multi $1000000000.00 corporations. choose your fax for you. go ahead. i changed and whatever you do,

don't want my shell stay main street because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called stretching. but again, you probably don't wanna watch it because it might just change the way you i don't see this conflict. so as the one over a values, that's not to say that there might not be differences in values between uh, you know, elements of the us population or elements of the us leadership and illness of the russian population in russian leadership. there may well be some differences, but i don't see it as conflict as having to do with that. i see this primarily as really, frankly, a proxy or onrush as border that is being pursued by the u. s. and then, you know, powers the the,

the u. s. department of veterans affairs is one of the most poorly managed departments in the us government rivaling elements of the justice department like the bureau of prisons and the f. b. i in documented wrong doing different presidents have appointed secretaries with different backgrounds to try to write the ship, including general's business executives, attorneys, and even activists. but nothing is worked. there's something deeply wrong about the culture within veterans affairs. we only know about it, thanks to whistle blowers, i'm john kerry onto and welcome to the whistle blowers the . 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 in 2018 for police officers from the us department of veterans affairs went public with allegations of waste, fraud, abuse, and illegality in the sprawling department that is supposed to take care of

americas veterans. v a police officers are responsible for protecting the property, staff, veterans, and visitors. they cover va property all across the united states, conducting patrols, responding to calls, including calls about suicide will patients and investigating crimes those 4 officers found evidence indicating that their supervisors covered up false reports covered up for corrupt officers. one fairly promoted people in the forest with whom they were having affairs, and performed numerous acts of favoritism. they had side businesses in violation of ethical codes and they engaged in discrimination, gross mismanagement, and overtime pay fraud. when they reported their findings to senior officials, rather than those officials acting on the information, they targeted these 4 officers. almost immediately there were problems with their pay. they received poor performance evaluations and they were transferred to desk duty, while long term investigations against them played out. as we say,

2 frequently on this show, what happened was exactly the opposite of what was supposed to happen. we're joined today by one of those v. a police officers, tim petoskey. tim, thank you so much for being with us. we're glad to have you. i'm honored to be here . tim, tell our viewers a little about yourself. how did you get involved in law enforcement? especially in federal law enforcement? and how did you end up at the department of veterans affairs? sure, so i've, i'm, i've been a cop for a very long time. i often joke that and i'm not fit for anything else. i retired from the units a pool organization. and then i started looking for something to do is sort of that space between retirement, where you're still young enough to get out and do the job. but you pastor 1st milestone you were just retired from the 1st department. and so i accidentally

discovered that the department of veterans affairs actually had a police officer. so i was surprised to find that out initially. and so 2009. when i retired from the states side, i took a job with the va for that reason. originally i did my thought was this was going to be a retirement good. i. i couldn't envision that law enforcement at a hospital would be that detailed. and so i figured it would be a good place for me to kind of, to my shields and tell all my retirements settled out and i was still in the army reserves. so i figured, you know, this was a good place to, to come. and so i've been working since the eighty's i worked street crimes in florida in those years. um and i've been military intelligence officer for quite a few years and in p in the army and in the air force for a few years as well. so that's pretty much all i've done with my life. wow, boy scouts. yeah, it is right. you had been at the va for a long time. you're a professional,

you know the rules. and then you started seeing things that were just wrong. tell us about that. and about what you did when you saw these things i will regionally. uh, like i said, i drive in 2009 by 2010. uh, i kinda looked around and i was like, wait a minute. especially in what we call the one who facilities like out here in seattle or detroit or boston. uh, it is not. uh, just being a hospital. com. there's a lot of stuff that goes on in those facilities. and the agency here in seattle is woefully understaffed. your officers are wearing a hand me down 2nd chance best that we're out of the radio system didn't work all kinds of stuff. and i almost just walked off the job. i almost just put myself in a bag and walked out the door. and it a friend of mine and rob ad it was assaulted so bad that you'll never be accomplishing. and he laid

a pool of his own blood streaming over those radio systems that couldn't work. and um, and we couldn't find him. and so i looked a friend of mine, and joe murphy, the fellow officer. and the days after rob's assault, we just got a job in the eye. and so what are we going to do? and joe said to me, and my, my brother's keeper. hm. and those words, i just didn't like a lightning bolt. and because joe was a young guy, she was starting history at the end of mine, right? like mine is the ability for the view to harm me is marginalized by the fact that i, my career, is scientifically lives. in many respects, joe was stepping up in an environment with the vehicle couldn't, will, in his ability to be a cons forever. and so it was a, it was an integrity check, you know, and so i had to step forward and joe, and i did we, especially in those initial years,

we've just joe and i against the world. and he moved on to the federal protective services and went on with his career. and i stayed at the v a u side of the story of the new story where the 4 of us went public. but i, i've gotten public several times is before that, and after that story it was, are these, there was a ship list that was you read by the a, my name's on it, and they call me the ring leader or the police national and wow, and i there that like a badge of honor. um that's right. i don't know how big that is, but i'm by more than willing to own it. and so it's been a pretty long road and this is my 1st interview. yeah. well i, i'm thrilled by that. i'm thrilled by it. this is important. you made protected whistleblower complaints. there are laws to deal with this kind of thing. were you working? were you working together with the other officers on these issues or were you

reporting independently of one another? and then sort of came together later. yes to bucks. so i worked my own issues. they were officers who were absolutely if afraid it's for their careers to come forward. so they would send me the information. i would divide it and collect it. and then i would file the complaints for them. some folks, uh uh, jeremy balls and out of the washington d. c. b a. we kind of encountered each other because they had list we were going through that list. i'm like, oh wait a minute. i heard this guy and he and i started talking and they were actually doing all the same things in dc that i was doing independently of me and unknown to me until the help us came out. and then we started coordinating, of course, from that point forward so, so yes, to vote. so tell us what happened once you blew the whistle you've said, or at least i've seen accounts in the press saying that you were given poor

performance evaluations. you were put on desk duty while you were investigated, for example. tell us about that. and what else uh, happened to you? sure. well the, the uh, agents of that was in december. they fired. oh, my gosh. full. yeah. support. i yeah, you can with this part. so that was, it was to prolonged the 1st was that um, i was working a case in which a veteran had stated that he had contracted with someone to kill his wife. i was working that case with a municipal agency, the federal police department, and i shared information to the, the under the exceptions to the law. and they fired me because they say that those exceptions to the law don't exist. that's their entire case. the 2nd problem was they didn't like an email communication and a facebook post that i made as a union steward on official time under the direction of the union. good career. and

so the, the 2 aspects to the, to my term to december's termination are truly for tutors. and that's, that's something that, that kind of, you have to highlight about to be a, you hear a lot of people talk about the incompetence. and they do it with a kind of, you know, the meaning to be insulting or to take a job at the da da is truly in comp attempt at every level. and it's, it's worth taking a moment to just think about that and understanding that they can't even abuse their authority in a competent man. it's not like whatever the street crow copper, some of the other people you've had on the show legitimately, with getting disappeared in a very precise and tact lemaire via can't do that. they'll try it, but they're going to mess it up and they're going to leave a paper trail and there's going to be an email or, you know, something of the kind of because these are the we have uh, well, when i say we, i'm talking about to be, have promoted these and confident players to higher and higher levels. and then the

echo chamber sort of seals that in. and you have this, there's truly st. of it's. it's like to stand for present experiment exercise. just, you're not as, as out of hand maybe or more out of hand in some respects, one of the results of whistle blowing is the isolation. and the loneliness that comes along with it. what was it like for you? you were forced onto the desk duty, how did your friends and colleagues at the v a respond where they supportive. did you have any other support from inside the organization? oh, cool. yeah. so again, i, this is sort of like my, my 3rd life as a copyright. so i, i, i have a friendship network and i got some really, really good advice all the way back in 1988, a senior deputy at the sheriff's department. i worked for a told me straight out, he said to him, if you're going to do this job, get to get
