11:30 am
so building a new is just sort of apology, where the new formats and we'll share a lot of space, much, much more than it's ever shift you have right now. 25 i think is a pump. so then you're working on the new 5, a 3. think the breast cancer with the ease of it was science fiction, 10 years ago. so russia for, um, my opinion is already in the 22nd century. you know, and we wants to be at least near, even in these uncertain times. thousands of delegates and delegations for $75.00 countries of come. so this is actually mexico, as wheeling and dealing conferences, panels seminars, who were the lead to russian flavor. where i guess the archie? yeah. the opposite. mexico continues right now on russia's southern coast. have more details about that online right now. it's our website on, so you don't the
11:31 am
hi everybody program note borrowing holidays occasional family days, which we all need to have. we now post to show every day we used to be weekly malware daily. we pull no punches, so look for it. trip on number one. the us government and the western media is reaction to this attack we saw in moscow was in a word weird. i just was just on number to call the moscow attack suspects terrace. what think about this, or are they mercenaries? this is an important distinction that could make a world of difference and we're going to ask to have bomb number 3. finally,
11:32 am
the un security council has declared ceasefire now and that's a yahoo! prime minister netanyahu has canceled his trip to the united states connected. we're going to tell you, i'm rick sanchez. this is direct impact the you know, i think sometimes the best way to answer. 1 as a story is to just make a good comparison. so let's do this. this is the famous headline in the french newspaper. lamond, after 911 attack on the twin towers in new york, you see right there, right there on the right where, where it says we are all americans. we are all americans on this day after that attack. i mean, that was a settlement of unity and condolences at the time all throughout the world rush out,
11:33 am
by the way, it was no different at the time and its reaction as a, as president put in and expressed his condolences personally to president george w bush and then visited the united states to meet with the government officials here that attack in moscow. this weekend. it was both calculated and bloody a lot like the $911.00 attacks and that sense at a targeted specifically civilians just regular people. and that is why one would've expected to hear some kind of statement from, from, from washington right from this very place where i'm bringing you this newscast from a statement that expressed some kind of grief condolences with the people of russia . maybe even an offer of support to the people of russia, even if we have differences with russia. but instead, what the us immediately did is captured in, in this headline. and, and here it is. they basically came out and didn't say we are all russians today.
11:34 am
they said ukraine didn't do it. ukraine didn't do it. great at no involvement in this thing whatsoever. and they came out with this right away. i mean, 1st of all, no one at the time had said that they did it. so it seemed peculiar why this mad rush to say they didn't do it, they didn't do it. i thought it was, i watched it and i think as a lot of my peers and colleagues who watched this geo political trifle, watch this, they thought that's kind of strange. i think weird might even be the right word. why such an early declaration? why it wasn't us directing the information to begin with what, why was all the of the information flow from the story that occurred in russia coming out of washington? i thought of course we also have to ask, where was the offer of condolences that you would expect in a situation like this? would that be the 1st thing that you would do?
11:35 am
it was. and then finally, after the attack, a us official didn't make a comment, but it seemed weird also to me anyway. and you tell me what you say. look how torture whitehouse national security spokesperson, john kirby piers. i remember i was watching them in the moment. friday is, is, was happening. and when he finally appears and he addresses the attack watch it watches demeanor noticed how careful he is. choosing his words, being lear and careful not to show any support, not to show any sympathy for the russian people or for russia or for the russian government. instead, he seems to suggest the only feels bad for the specific individual victims who are in the concert hall. listen, our thoughts obviously, are going to be with the victims of this terrible, terrible shooting attack. and i think, you know,
11:36 am
when you look at that video, you have and you got to recognize that there's a moms and dads and brothers and sisters and sons and daughters that haven't gotten the news yet. and this is going to be a tough day. so our thoughts are with them did not seem odd to you that he's only talking about those specific victims. never said anything about maybe helping russia supporting the russian government, doing something for the people of russia feeling bad for the people of russia. oh, there are people there who could be uncles and aunts i mean by the way, part of the reason this is so interesting is what. busy didn't have to do with russia. in fact, as kirby continues talking, even alludes to the fact that russia has lots of enemies. what does that mean? why did he say that? is he somehow suggesting that russia somehow brought the carnage on itself? the us officials were also quick to announce that isis was solely responsible for
11:37 am
the attack siding the isis and claimed responsibility. the claim of responsibility was a statement published by an isis affiliated news agency, a mark on telegram soon after the incident. now didn't provide any proof for any reason or any details as they usually do after an attack like this. more often than not, a lot of these terrorist organizations stump their chess. we did it, here's how, here's why. there was none of that. just curious. again it's, it's a very definitive us response from a statement that did not seem all that definitive. and one would expect in a situation like that we is journalist, most journalist, most people who investigate these things would normally at least analyze it. question, wonder if it really does come from there was not of, of course, by now, the western media led by the new york times has already cement cemented this thing as the definitive narrative they,
11:38 am
i've been reading the times just today and they have all kinds of stories today, confirming that us intelligence officials, they saw this coming, they had warned russia that this was about to happen. what did they really? and if so, did they share details with russia about that? that narrative is also now very much in dispute. it's true, there was a security alert. let's think let's be clear about that. there was a security alert. i looked it up. i found it. there it is. i put it there for you. for our producers and tyler, the director, is putting it up so you can see it. there it is. it was sent out by the us embassy in moscow, which does more of a possible attack by extremists. it says americans living and moscow should avoid gatherings included put in concert. but this thing was put out march 7th, a kirby and company made it sound like they pulled it out yesterday or last thursday the day before the attack. this thing went out just before the russian
11:39 am
elections, and it only lasted for 48 hours and they took it down. so did they really know something? or were they just issuing a typical pre election advisory to us citizens that they put out in almost every big city in the world just prior to an election? it's just a good question. that's all. in fact, many of these questions that are being raised at this point has to do with just getting to the truth, getting to the truth by not jumping to conclusions. you know, you know, the old expression leave no stone unturned. well, that's kind of what you've got to do in a situation like this and for that questions need to be asked for example about the accused or to the acute, many tears. then to take their own was after a tax like this, these guys did not back. did they on court see
11:40 am
that those are the apparently they are from to jacob style as they claim. or maybe we should say, as they say, claim implies that maybe they're like, i don't know if their line one of the amount allegedly says that he was hired and he was paid very well. so were they recruited? and if so, who were cutting them? and if that's the case, then they're really not terrace, right? that would make the mercenaries that would make the mercenaries shouldn't we know that was a, as a ledge, to heading to ukraine. and if you crane wasn't directly involved as the united states has made clear over and over and over again, where they possibly then in directly involved. so these are the questions, right. could you kind of been involved in directly to these answers will not be known overnight, but again, the suspects are all still and presumably talking. they are in
11:41 am
a court of justice and will likely, at some point, be telling their stories as the world wage to hear what they have to say. joining us now to talk about this is international human rights attorney, dan, come all lik and international relations and security, a list of market slow boat. i tried to make the case there that usually in a situation like this, there's a lot of quarries, there's a lot of questions. there's a lot of doubt. there's a lot of people trying to confirm and mail things down. why does it seem to me, maybe, dan, i'll start with you that somebody is not trying to ask these questions and they're, i say jumping to definitive conclusions. yes. well reminds you of william shakespeare is lined out, the protest too much um act that the us was so quick on the draw to say you clean didn't do it makes you wonder whether in fact ukraine did do it.
11:42 am
and yeah, i think this warning that the us gave a couple weeks ago seems suspicious. and again, it seems like they did not pass on any information to rush. i mean, that's what the russians are saying that they did not. i type of thing. i tend to think what i read this, i went and looked at it right away. as soon as i heard about this, i went in the, in the old google's there and i look, went back and read this security alert, which is what it's called. and it was put out on the 7th, and they said it was only gonna last 48 hours. and it was the one about extreme is that could possibly do something prior to the elections. that's what it seemed like to me. i'm not sure that anything to do with this thing. i. it makes me think that maybe our we put that out. let's bring that out now and say that we knew about it. i don't know what. what do you think, mark, john kirby made clear that that warning was unrelated to this and that he, he was spelled that out. exactly. and there are a lot of holes in the us narratives that they have been peddling. submitted 0 on
11:43 am
this is this k is solely responsible. and our us back proxy regime in care of absolutely totally nothing to do with it. these fighters, they made no political or religious declarations either during or after in detention. they claim that they were paid money for doing it. they, when they attempted to escape, they didn't had to central asian states or the caucasus instead, they were drove right for the ukrainian border. is that down? is that nailed down? do we know that? is that that, is that been confirmed? yes. yeah. they were captured in brioche 100 kilometers from the uh, russian from the russian ukrainian border as the warning went out. you know of the car to look for because they went in the car that they had arrived and actually not a very good methodology. they threw away their weapons. they did not attempt
11:44 am
to. 1 fight uh they did, they didn't die to the death. they didn't try to die as martyrs. they, they tried to run and climb a tree. one of them did, but they didn't attempt to fight. they made no declarations. they were attempting to go into a conflict zone, which is should be a heavily defended border on both sides. the russian president, in his speech, announced that russian intelligence had information that there was a window that was supposed to be opened by the ukrainian side of the border to let them in. this is why the russian government feels that this claim is of isis. k being involved is a fig leaf of plausible deniability. and that's the real perpetrators. are the key ever james of intelligence operatives and therefore, and backers. well, let's be fair. we don't have the smoking gun on this, but i'll tell you what,
11:45 am
just listening to what you just said. i'm thinking, you know, the 3 of us have covered and watched and read about and analyze terrorist attacks for the better part of the last couple of decades. and we know what fits the profile of the typical suicide bomber slash terrace. it does seem clear to me from what we know, that then these guys don't seem to fit that profile. they may be more likely mercenaries if i can finish and pardon me, they may be almost more like mercenaries than tears. you get my drift. well, you used a key word in there and it's suicide. i, you know, i was just listening to an interview with former c, i officer, larry johnson. and he said, you know, if they were truly isis, there's 2 things that we would expect. one that they would be, you know, religious lots and that they would honor ramadan and therefore not carry out such an attack during ramadan. number 2, they would not be captured, live, me,
11:46 am
they would, they would just assume, be killed resisting. how do i, how the house, how mark, i gotta come back to you cuz i'm thinking about this now. pardon me, dana didn't mean interrupt you on that statement. what you're about to make it. i'll come back to you in a minute. the, this, this statement that was pulled out by, in fact, the russian media that one of the men has admitted that he was paid money and that he was recruited. what do you make of that to that it really doesn't surprise me in the slightest. because once again, they don't fit the, the pro 5. yeah, of us. we are a suicide bomber or a standard. you know, what habits zealots attempting to achieve martyrdom through killing some infidel. isn't there a lot of questions about isis k, you know,
11:47 am
isis horse on as an organization to begin with. the american journalist suff heart who writes for rolling stones and harper, he noted on twitter, the leader of quote, unquote, isis k was a contractor at bankrupt. the us air force base and afghanistan when worked security for drug lord rochelle does do a top c r a proxy, and the vice president of afghanistan at one time he later worked for a morales so late chief of the ask in intelligence unit, literally the c i a is right hand man and afghanistan, and he points out that it's right there on the computer page. so what are you suggesting clearly is that isis k is and has always been a c. i, a cookie cutter. i'm gonna cut out and i can't help, but notice that ice was case activities have mostly been involved attacking the tall up on pakistan and central asian states. in fact, the tower and put out
11:48 am
a statement condemning this attack. they express their condolences to the russian people. they pointed out they've been battling isis k for that gate. i can't help but ask you guys about the gcis them. i'm trying to understand what the connection . i think a lot of people over the world might be scratching their heads, trying to figure out how this all comes together if it does. and that's what we're going to talk about when we come back, den, cobble and come all again, marx will boda. we'll continue this conversation after the break. the . there's no end in sight over how you're going to continue to destroy the earth. is the case of the med, most of the people. i tried to go to the gym, but i'm certainly not ready to fight russia. this is also absurd. this is the 3rd world lunacy re washington. as for so the funder line likes to say,
11:49 am
we have the tools while we just start with stability and visit us deal. so what should i need? something living on that we have very close propaganda. you know, a price here in your i think we don't know the aftermath any time that you're not allowed to ask questions, you should ask all of the questions. the more questions ask a better the answer is, will be the by the middle of the 20th century, the portuguese colonial empire was in an acute crisis. a particularly 10 situation had developed in mozambique the people of this country were put in a humiliating position. the income inequality ramp and illiteracy this respect by the portuguese for the local traditions led to mass unrest. in 1964, the liberation front of mozambie re limo began its armed struggle for freedom. the
11:50 am
regular army was not easy to resist, but the guerrillas inflicted considerable damage on the invaders through the fighters against the colonial regime were supported by the soviet union and china. whereas the united states and great britain took the side of the invaders, the board to gaze responded to the guerrillas attacks with cruel counter insurgency . however, pre limos 10 year courageous struggle was a success after the overthrow of the fascist regime in portugal in 1974, the new authorities surrendered. a year later, lisbon fully recognized the independence of mozambie. but the victory had been gained at a high price during the war, mozambique had lost tens of thousands of its sons and daughters the the okay,
11:51 am
welcome back. i'm rick sanchez. let's get right back into the show. in fact, with russia and the news, i wanted to mention something else as the investigation on this attack and moscow continues that we're talking about there's an update on the economic front as well . apparently, british prime minister ritchie sumac has made a bold move. he's announced and then do you case reliance on russian gas? if you want to prove your tough on russia, it doesn't sound any better than to go out there and make this point, the nose for no other reason, from a standpoint of public relations, right? we don't need the russian gas anymore, but it's not quite as simple as it seems. here's the kicker. the you guys, new source of liquefied natural gas is really still coming from russia. what do you, as announcing is that he's not buying directly from russia, but rather from a middle man who gets it from russia, that middle man is none other than the french. it's a, it's a french energy company. so, so what that means is that soon i get boldly distancing himself from russian gas due to geo political tensions,
11:52 am
but it's actually indirectly still supporting russia and russian gas and russian and its energy sector, who you can't make this stuff up back to the question at hand and i and i wanted to get back to you guys on this, dan mark, i don't know which one of you wants to grab those, but talk to me a little bit about the g cust. um, i know that there's been a lot of pull, albert going back and forth over the weekend, even from president putting on did you can stand the president, the biggest dance as there is no buddy from project to stand. these people are from other planets or something like that, which i quite didn't understand either. i don't know, dan, you want to get the 1st crack at this to make us centers to help us understand what's going on here. i'm gonna defer to mark on this. i think he's probably more of an expert on please mark, go ahead. a. yeah, there, there has been a radical islam. is the hobbits movement in tajikistan, which is a poor majority? muslim majority, central asian state, but it's heyday was in the 19 ninety's. there was essentially a briefly of civil war over it. there were also
11:53 am
a number of tag fighters in both afghanistan and in syria fighting with the she, heidi formation. so it is not on believable. i believe that's probably why for ta jakes were picked for this because there is a degree of plausible, you know, deniability that they could be involved in, in, in isis, k attack. however, these for individuals, there's no evidence of any type of religious radicalization which you wouldn't believe wouldn't be the primary motivation for conducting such as that. yeah, and the big difference here is if the motivation were money that's not usually the case with real believers. i mean, i do believe that there is not that big a distance between a patriot and a terrorist depends on whose viewpoint it is. but there is a bank,
11:54 am
this distance between a terrorist and a mercenary. and if these guys took money, that makes is a whole different story. by the way, there's another story i got to bring to your attention and dan, i want you to help me with this one. there's this the word finally, the world has finally witnessed a significant diplomatic development this week in the united nations security council has just passed a resolution calling for a cease fire and gaza. it had tried before, but this time it made it stick. and what makes us resolution, particularly noteworthy, we think, is the unprecedented decision by the united states to abstain from the most a move that has such shockwave diplomatic circles as well. why? because the u. s. has always voted, may they have always been opposed to any talk of any kind of ceasefire. they've always defended israel and its attacks without the release of hostages. first, this abstention has not been without consequences. is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu incense by the us. us position apparently has cancelled this
11:55 am
scheduled visit to the united states. he was even expected to meet with president biden. not anymore. how much of this is a real dispute, and how much of this is, is it is politics, dan, what's going on here? well, i think there's a few things going on. i mean, 1st of all, i think joe biden is hearing footsteps. he knows that his presidential campaign is in trouble because of his support for israel and gaza. you know, he's now received the moniker genocide, joe, and then that's coming large from his own base. that is not very helpful. so i think he's looking for a way out of this bind with that said, i don't truly believe the white house is pushing for a ceasefire, nor will it. i mean the fact they abstain, that's better than be towing it, but they did abstain. and main, why are they gonna keep sending arms to israel? my guess is yes. and so what does that mean when he keeps sending arms to someone involved involved in a hot conflict? um, good goodness, goodness i, if, if a, if you say that,
11:56 am
and the reason i'm jumping on that ballpark process that you just shared with us is because i'm thinking, couldn't they stop it altogether? if they stop sending alarms, where else is real, going to get those arms to use that? and that's what everyone has been saying to us could end this today with a phone call and they haven't made that phone call. they don't need a un security council resolution to do that or to end this. you know, there that we know that there's been what every 35 hours the us has been sending the arms and ammunition to israel during this conflict. it which israel desperately need. so again, if they stop the arm shipments, then i'll believe it, but until that happens, i'm sorry. well, i see something positive about the resolution. i'm not that optimistic and i'll just stand one more thing. i saw that the russians wanted an amendment to say it was a permanent ceasefire that was rejected. so what does the higher mean?
11:57 am
i don't know. i don't know to be a like we would say in sports a break in the action of. thank you dan. uh, thank you, mark, really insightful stuff and i'm so glad that we had you guys on the share. this information with us mark will be looking for you again this week as the story continues to play out before we go. i want to remind you of our mission, which is simple, really of the silo the world as best we can kind of stop living in these little boxes where you only believe what you and your friends believe truths don't live in boxes, truths everywhere, amex and chance i'll be looking for you again right here, where i hope to provide a direct effect the
11:58 am
to take a fresh look around as a life kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion by tell us to do vision with no real opinions. fixtures, design to simplify will confuse really once a better wills, and is it just as a chosen few fractured images presented? it is, but can you see through their illusion going underground? can the position i would suggest in belgrade was suggesting that we send americans
11:59 am
in and uh, the bridges on the drain and put on your bill is us on the modem. move dining room probably now and they'll lock you in for the stone room when it's here. all the owners will tell you that it will save you from us across as you know, the middle of it is what i normally file a possibility. and this was always thought when this one is now that the guy, the source or say don't mushroom around noon, it may be, you know, a lot less radioactive. the something is active uranium, but still it's radioactive and it has toxic, killed the laptop. you want me to go and see. so these are the ceiling. again. let's see the echo seats. the boeing that i don't know the mold was suggesting. we pharma fell great bill cause i was, was the
12:00 pm
only ship i understood the sense was prepared by my radical islamic so naturally facilitated by waste and special services. special services of ukraine also have a direct link to the head of russia as a federal security service, says western powers played a role in the recent terrorist attack. and most of the london is high cold rules that we can look sounded. julian, a sound can fight against is potentially expedition to america, but only with a number of conditions. also in the program, israel cancels a visit of a key delegation to washington to offset the us abstain from of the phone to the un security council, which finally adopted a c.
