of us, here's the deal saying he's just done nothing wrong with speaking it according key f, where a judge extended his current house arrest until the end of august. now it was back in april. he was charged with inciting religious hatred and justifying what he has called russian aggression. now, just days ago, ukraine's president introduced a bill to move the traditional orthodox christmas dates to a line with a catholic calendar. he said that russian id or g and his religion had been imposed on ukrainians. even monk so now prohibited from entering the key, but just laughter. and those remaining must leave within the next 3 days as well. so we discussed all of this with journalist on the academic jason, michael. he says the religious persecution by the government and keith is actually been going on already for a number of years. a little mention of this because this is part of an ongoing propaganda campaign where i know the broadest of all possible sensors. the ukranian regime is being given

a blank check by. ready neutral whether you to keep them union out in the united states. what was happening to the ukranian orthodox church is an ongoing persecution. it's concerning that metropolitan pothole has been under how you start asked them that this has been going on since last april. behind this, of course, we can trace this by can want to follow up to 2018 when the ukrainian government and p as voted as an act of parliament as, as a government moved to rename 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 religion, you know, to put into parents. this is the most school patriarch, kate, you know, this would be a, can, you know, during perhaps world war 2 when, but it was a war was idols, hitler, and his allied miscellany to re label the catholic church in england. the

colleagues and catholic church in the conflict with tens of thousands of people have died. the west is getting quoted rave reviews from kia ford's weapon systems sent to ukraine. and that is the point blank message from the u. k. defense ministry, which claims britain's massages have been very successful against russia. we extend a short range, high velocity and large with multiple me solace until 2035, otherwise known as to us, rick and model it. these was last me saw us have received rave reviews in ukraine, where they have proved at poles into weapon against fixed when at croft world building on these current capabilities. just a full homage and a sold 3 guys come by teams. the oldest comes as moscow says, the british maid stole much shadow missiles, are being used to target severely and infrastructure and don't pass out into the

list. but you guys supply that challenge at 2 tanks loaded with shows with depleted uranium. now nicole is a long lasting damage to civilians on the environment many hundreds of years after the shots of fi. it will be discussed. this with for my pen took on senior security and list of michael my live. he agrees the ukrainian battlefields are being used as testing ground a battlefield such as this, do indeed become testing grounds for the quality and effectiveness of your weapon systems. ukraine gets trained on some very good equipments very, very quickly. they, they seem to be quick learners, although they go through that equipment like crazy. and i, i think it's that so this is going to pose a problem for the west coast to continue any sustain supply of that equipment. they have the problem for the west. this is the stand ability of supply and, and that's quickly dry enough. russia really has not quite forward, it's best stuff yet. so i think that so we're going to be seeing the long so long

drawn out conflicts here for some time. and i would suspect that the a russian counter offensive could begin a problem perhaps sometime this month for the right. the ukrainian, the kind of offensive is bogged down that it takes time to there's a learning curve on that equipment. and also supply. and it's a very limited in supply that will not be able to be sustainable. and i think that's also a tactics russia is counting on, in addition to more warm type of warfare in terms of going after targets. so good to have your company for this program from moscow as muslims around the world have been celebrating the annual holidays. israel's supreme court has ordered the eviction of the last remaining palestinian family in a building that shed with his riley settlers of the court ultimately rejected the

families final appeal to keep that home in ancient building. and a most of the muslim part of jerusalem will pick up the story now with the middle east correspondent, a new uh 68, was born and raised in this house in the old city of jerusalem. these walls keep precious memories of her deceased parents. her marriage, 5 of her children and of they have to live here, but soon she might lose it forever. these riley authorities have ordered the expulsion of nora and her family. i feel like i've been sentenced to a death penalty with every passing 2nd. i feel like my soul is banning today. i woke up scad. i dreamed that soul just re do the house. i got child was bab panicking, running to make sure that there was no rage. and everyone was safe nor i whose family has been renting this place since 1953 is a protector tenant. this privilege status dates back to the jordanian rule and

later was adopted by israel. it means neither she nor her children can be evicted unless there was a payment delay or an authorized renovation. clearly not the case here, or if the family doesn't stay at the property, i set low trust that has always norris house since 2010, and that is behind the legal battles. use data from caesar to the cameras to convince the court that the woman doesn't leave in the house, referring to a 4 month period when she had stayed at her son's place, due to a proven medical condition. the family believes it was just to protect the view, and we will hate them as a deluxe. so they are targeting my house and all the houses around the locks. and most you probably saw in the news that the saturday school is the asked nick, glancing over the whole area in the old city of jerusalem. and they want it only for themselves to build their promise down pulse. they want to get rid of the arabs and gain full control over can we requested a comans from the jerusalem municipality on what the grounds are for the eviction.

there was no response so far. they have been 14 court cases. it gains nor has family in the last half a century to eviction orders. and the family says many attempts by the municipality, the israel custodian, and even the antiquities authorities to evict them. they said as on lo, phone, the student center is part of occupied palestinian tentatively un under international human stay in loan and intended blinking to match the low understands on recognize us protective population, protect that population whose lights off got an feed on the international law and forcibly displacing palestinians, alta occupied typically actually constitutes and will crime and degree breach of international the family members complain they are being harassed by jewish settlers and neighbors. nora says they throw garbage water from the balcony. she blames them for the deaf of 5 trees in her little rooftop garden. they were also stones thrown at the windows. police the family says are rarely on the ground to

help, which might make the perpetrators believe they can get away with everything. foresight of the state, the wizard is actually encouraging the settlers methodology and the settlers behavior by being that and protecting them instead of protecting the people who are from the case here it is not as lambs the, there's the 2 days i'm god forbid, this is the case who does actually if i stay and so i'm going to basically guessing cubic foot from the house and then bringing in the international community, condemned force displacement of palestinian families in numerous reports by you and human rights and humanitarian offices. you and foreign diplomatic commissions. there are constant calls on israel to stop this practice. it has little effect the, the you and estimates around $970.00 palestinians almost tough children are currently at 3 east, co forest eviction in east jerusalem alone, including the old city. we met a group of young activists in north house,

foreigners and locals. they came to show their support and solidarity with the family. they take shifts to make sure they are present in 247, not to miss the moment when police knock on the door, as it is rarely do a citizen. i am not afraid of being arrested, which is a great privilege because i know that our palestinian partners for them being arrested is a terrible ordeal. and i can last much longer and have more serious implications. but this is non violent resistance. and so we're not afraid. when we go now to the house is riley police were waiting for us cold by a jewish lady who got quotes by our camera. they checked out ideas and ask the purpose of the filming. when we told them we're covering the eviction story, they asked if it's about movement or a jewish family. unclear why it was relevant, but it certainly was an unnecessary question. no jewish family has ever been expelled from the l. c t. using the trans, i ask the officer why they don't show up when norris house is attacked and the

families threatened by settlers. the newer and her family, all the last palestinians left in this building. most of the house is on this street. i populated now by door south, or is coming from different parts of israel and from a broad turn in the moves named quarter of there was an old c t into a jewish one. legal battle which lasted 47 years now seems to be lost. the court notified nor is family, but the eviction may happen any time now within the next 2 weeks. but the plan is to stay. they're not ready to give up on the place they have called home for generations. moving ocean on our tea from jerusalem. the american green bar could be on a rubber like street as auction, teen, or is now bypassing the us dollar. in the 1st, it is settled, a $2700000000.00 debt payment to the international monetary fund using chinese,

you $1.00 and the other reserves it keeps in a box of f car, which is known as s b r's or the countries the central bank pointed to its liquidity at a host of other currencies, other than that thought of that a very useful he using that's why they've gone to the new one. meanwhile, the origin time delegation is scheduled to visit america next week to wrap up shots with the i m f. one plans to reduce the south american nations budget deficit and address inflation. the global lender, however, declined to comment to us here at odd c. on this story, well, no surprise, because the dollarization continues, as countries around the world are increasingly using the ro, national currencies in bilateral trade, by passing the american greenback. next month, the bricks group, which includes rusher and china, is set to hold a summit in south africa where a new joint currencies expected to be very high on the agenda of a 2000 and countries right now looking to join what may have called the most

significant blocks in the emerging multi polar world oil. the rich states like iraq, saudi arabia, the u, a, e r o, actively exploring alternatives to the petro donna video. i discussed this with daniel shore, a professor of latin american studies. he says the washington is very concerned about the, the dollar a session trend because at the end of the day it does mean america losing its grip on global economic control. this is a very big deal. this comes to the chagrin to the dismay of uh, washington. they want to see dollars supremacy because then they can show can control uh, economies around the world. they think they can deplete the foreign reserves of a country like argentina or venezuela, and then use the traditional methods through the i m s. and the world bank to entrap these countries through debt. and they can come in swoop in and implement

their quote unquote, structural adjustment programs. and that's how they've controlled so many of these quote unquote, 3rd world economy. so the fact that there's a strong un now, and it, that exists as an option, is a very, very big deal on the global scale. since 1979 says the don't thing shout being leadership to use diplomatic means in economic means around the world to strength thing themselves in the us have used courses, means they've used invasions in bombings and drones. and of course sanctions one 3rd of the world right now is under us sanctions. so i think the chinese soft power model is the new model for the world. many countries are seeing this is a credible option. right before we wrap this out, was program africa is grabbing the rains. if it's digital economy, the continents crypto currency markets surging, more than a 1000 percent in recent years. and one country nigeria as the title of the

most savvy crypto nation. i'm believe it or not. nigeria tops from brazil and 12 other nations in the race to develop a digital currency exchange system. that is, according to a global study by you gov, the west african countries. success is driven by government support of a nationwide block train policy. which allows nigerians to tap into the freely and dollar market. here at opposite you, we heard from some of the traders that who say that digital currency is quote, going global if you chose could say that you guys quite a normal reason these guys festival nigeria is share for patients, one of the largest in south south africa and are a major portion of that population i use who i also digits on the mice. so he's

slowly, not sure i got the 6 into technology on which scripture as part of the blow chain thinking we didn't use the same, the pooled freedom, any sense it gives you the freedom because it does, it does this time i was looking to do with the, the bunk, it looks like it's gonna be bugs the bunk. they bumped them over. it relates to financial a transactions on the you out of your freedom to do was you want to do, you call and you call saying the amount of one you want to saying, do you want the one who gets queen and you will not be quite shown to by the government's policies. one thing is for sure that the quarter and see is going global is the viable form of making money on the definitely i believe a time will come way evil in bonds will be able to trade it freely regardless of

the restrictions right now that we're facing and then you're on hold off the kind of countries with the credit of trade is no longer. no, he's no longer allowed. yes. and then you're here, but i believe it time is coming. when we come, you won't pay for things and it's for my kids with crystal currencies with beef queen's on. no, that is a simple way of holding. you're one of the craziest in crews on all the bought the car and see is going global too well. meantime, by numerous governments worldwide offer periods one vell, their own government issued crypt code. congress sees, as many analysts say, the fee monitoring system, as we know it is in its death throes and the boldest looking to move away and not just from ladonna, but also from paper via coverage. more details on load it onto the

what he's got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical of time. time to sit down and talk the,

[000:00:00;00] the, to take a fresh look around as a life kaleidoscopic. isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power to division with no real opinions.

fixtures designed to simplify it will confuse who really wants a better wills and is it just because it shows you fractured images, presented as fast can you see through their illusion going underground again. 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 work. 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 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 to 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. an honor 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 comfort very long time. i often joke that 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've passed your 1st milestone, your job to retire 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 heavy down 2nd chance best that we're out of date. 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. wow. and he laid a pool of his own blood streaming over those radio systems that can work. and um, and we couldn't find it. and uh, so i looked a friend of mine and joe murphy, the fellow officer. and the days after rob's assault, we just got home together in the i. and so what are we going to do? and joe said to me and my, my brother's keeper, to me and those words, i just didn't like a lightning bolt. it's because joe was a young guy. she was starting his tour. i'm 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 science who 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 those initial years. it was 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 for was one pallet . but i've, i've gotten public several times before that. and after that story, it was, at least there was a huge list that was you re, spite of the a, my name's on it and they call me the ring leader or the police national. and while i bear that like a badges on um that's right. i don't know how to do 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 that deal with this kind of thing. where are you working? where are 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. there 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. uh some uh folks, uh uh, jeremy balls and out of the washington d. c. b a. we kind of encountered each other um, 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 helpless 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 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 beginning 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 manner. it's not like what i was

a street crow proper. some of the other people you've had on the show legitimately with getting disappeared in a very precise and time to prepare the 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 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 is truly st. and 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 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 have a friendship network and i got some really, really good advice all the way back in 1988, 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 a hobby that doesn't have anything to do with law enforcement and get friends that aren't cops. and there was something i took to heart and i just, i carry that through the year. so i kind of had this network established a prior to that. but i'm pretty well known. and so when they transferred me out of police services in into the transportation division, there were a lot of people who found me on the side walk away from india where they couldn't be overheard offered their support, their gratitude i, i'll get a facebook messages from time to time just your notes of encouragement and they are
