for unwittingly, becoming test subjects possibly ever take need for patients. who am i have in this great man? who's done always bar of things. you know, i don't want to lose this opportunity to get well, the capture sleep for 23 days. and while i was asleep, they were shocking the heck out of me with electric shocks, one of the victims was forcibly brain washed. as part of these experiments and his daughter, julie tanny, became the lead plaintiff and a lawsuit against the us. and canadian governments. what they did was as soon as he was admitted to the hospital, they immediately put him on insulin. my father was not a diabetic. i know that the insulin put him in a coma. it was part of the sleep treatment where they put him to sleep. and after it, he was interviewed by the psychiatrist. then they would take clips of some of the things he said and run them on a tape 247 under his pillow. it would be going around non stop in his head, brain, washing him basically. but what they would do was they would give him shock

treatments, but not the regular shock treatments they give today. these are called page russells. it was a machine invented by a mr page and mr. russell. it was about $75.00 times the strength of a regular shock treatment. it was designed to wipe out the brain and the tape was to replace it with different thoughts. tanny's law suit was far from the only one that followed m. k, ultra, his implementation with the programs chief, sidney drop, leap eventually confronted about his involvement. and another case, i know that he tried to dance around the fact of his responsibility if by what you mean field experimentations is experiments that involve that are taking place outside of washington dc. and if, by my personal involvement, you mean, was i aware of them, or did i have something to do with their instigation? the answer is yes. probably later admitted that he was involved in up to 5 interrogations. although he denied that the c i a was trying to improve its techniques, but the program directors ordered the destruction of all associated files after

it's official and in 1973. so it's still not clear just how much we still don't know about m k ultra, or even if the program was ever truly terminate. well, actually c, i a has tried to cover it up and keep it quiet. that's why richard helms, i believe, is 1972. 1973, took steps to destroy all the documents, much of the documentary evidence as he could. why do you destroy it? well, he realized one that hadn't achieved any significant results. unable to put an end to it and tried to cover it up because they knew it would be damaging to the reputation of the ca, as it has been. you have to go back to 2001 and the aftermath of the 911 attacks to c. i a instead of using mind control techniques that were research to an m k ultra, and then artichoke before that. and bluebird, he didn't use any of those. they used to good old fashioned torture, water,

voiding sleep deprivation. it would be easy for something like an empty k ultra to slip through the cracks. but why i come back to emphasize that if such a program existed now and it was effective, they would have used it in guantanamo and they didn't. we know for a fact they didn't, they use torture, sleep deprivation, exposing people to light noise. they didn't use any of the other these more. what we call exotic techniques. now it's not only job, i'm leaving office on monday. it is, of course, the whole administration, including the secretary of state, next peter and gas way off the legacy left behind by 4 years of company blinking across the

hello and welcome to cross stock. were all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle . as he leaves office secretary state anthony blinking will not be remembered as a diplomat. he will be remembered as a moral disgrace when faced with a chance to stop wars and genocide, he refused. he talked about a rules based order, but he acted as an international criminal, the prospect getting blinking legacy. i'm joined by my guess, michael rossi in task and he is a lecture of political science at rutgers university. and here in moscow we have alexander 8, and he is a lecture at moscow institute of physics and technology. okay, let's start out with michael and test, scan them as anthony,

blinking in his exit interviews and they were softball ones at that with the new york times. in the financial times and he was singing his own praises saying america is stronger its enemies or a week or he didn't talk about security, which is something remarkable about this administrator. and never talked about anyone security. he thinks he did a bang up job and he's very, very pleased with himself passing the baton to the next administration. how will history judge anthony blinking go ahead, michael as well. i have absolutely no doubt that he thinks to himself that he did a bang up job, and i have no doubt that the new york times and the financial times will of judge him as a defender of the global liberal democracy in history is going to judge him at best as a very mediocre secretary of state. as someone who is little more than a coggan,

we'll avoid a mouth piece of the transatlantic liberal system. and one in which i have, as i said before, he has no doubt that he did a successful job, but his name will be connected to a rather unpopular presidency. one that has enabled genocide in the palestinian territories. another uh, that has been part of a war machine that has perpetuated the war in ukraine against russia. and i'm sure that the critiques of his administration of his leadership will be something that he never really reads. but you know, if the absolute best, if he's lucky, he'll be considered little more than a footnote. yeah, well, i mean, for the rest of us, i hope the justice will catch up with them at some point. and we all know that that's unlikely today, but who knows in the future? alexander?

he also it will. i'm glad that michael brought up the genocide in the palestinian territories. but there's also he thinks his praises about the proxy war against russia. a war that was completely unnecessary and could have been easily avoided. and what's really remarkable, as anthony blinking is leaving office of people like michael waltz, that will be the national security council advise. and the next administration is talking about how to undo and, and the catastrophe, the bite administration perpetuated. but he does so he seems completely on concerned about that, alexander to my desk, to blink, and did a good job for because he certainly did it and did not do a good job for the united states. however, if we look at israel, i think he did a great job or israel, and that's probably who is very pleased with his work as well. remember that at the beginning of the october war between gaza, between him off and israel,

when matt started off blink and moved his office to tell of the even took up a residence in israel for i don't remember how many weeks, but it's kind of is this is an unprecedented thing for the united states secretary of state to move to a foreign nation, as if he's coordinating efforts. there are something this is quite strange to have from someone who is supposed to represent the interest of the united states and not a foreign power. for example is real. we might have to take that into account. and with mike waltz, we should also be very careful of him because in front of a domestic audience in front of americans. yes, he's going to say that he wants to undo the damage caused by blinking caused by the bite and administration. but we have to consider what he's now saying with just that he's also supporting the ukrainians, reducing their minimum draft age to 18. so he's calling for the same sorts of

things in ukraine that the bite in administration is calling for right now. so mike waltz doesn't care how many ukrainians are slaughtered in this war on the front lines. for him, it's all just part of the big political game and increasing the trumpet, ministrations, leverage, and potential negotiations with russia. so there's actually appears to be very little difference between this incoming trump administration on the foreign policy front compared to the current bite and administration. well above view of uh, rapids we moved into the 2nd point. well, what i had hoped to be the 2nd part of the program, but i'm going to go with the flow here. michael. i mean i, i agree. i mean, you have like keith kellog get you, you know, he's supposed to be, would be the point man for ukraine. and he's talking about maximum price for against the rad. i mean, well, i don't know what administration he was speaking for the current one or the one

that's going to come about. go ahead, michael. well, i mean, as far as iran is concerned, both the trump and by the administration's are in lock step. right. the wrong is public enemy. number one, when it comes to the middle east, it's been long regarded as the greatest belligerents, the great is rival to us american interest. and that's on yahoo has long regarded iran also as one of the biggest obstacles against what he regards as stability. iran is the enabler of his bowl. um it, it propped up the former assad regime in syria. and so, you know, in this step it's, it's, it's, it's tempting to think that trump is going to be somehow different. how from that of the but i didn't ministration when it comes to iran in the middle east. the 2 of them are basically just continuing the same strategy that the united states has been employing within that region. since you know, time in memorial. so, you know,

we like to think many people like to think that trump is going to be a breath of fresh air against, you know, against the, by to ministration a new sense in american foreign policy. maybe that would be for ukraine. i don't know. right. ukraine is one story, trump seems to be eager to end that conflict. it's just simply redirect all efforts in the middle east. but when it comes to that, um, you know, there was very little change between bite and waltz between, i'm sorry, between the blinking and, and waltz and between bite and trump. well, you know, alexander, i mean, since the crane is being brought up here. um i, i just, it, uh, i'm just befuddled on how the incoming administration, the individuals we have mentioned here. this continue the same talking points as if they're saying something different. i mean we, we had walls so he goes on the blood shed must come to an end. paraphrasing of course, must come to an end as trench warfare must come to an end. but we all,

in the same paragraph, they must, uh, lower the conscription age and ukraine. i mean, what do you see talking about that? that's just more for the meat grinder. i, i, i, and i don't know how it's being re seen in the united states, but these people are saying that, well, but it's the same conversation. maybe it's 2 sides of the same calling, but it's the same message alexander, to, i would say that it's not being seen in the united states. the united states has one of the most rigorous and vicious censorship regimes in the entire world. and we have to understand that the american people by and large don't really understand what's going on because they're not being told. so frankly, cross talk is one of the only available widely broadcasted places where you can get english language information that is accurate. every thing domestically produced in the united states is complete nonsense from ivory left or the right. they're both

just trying to manipulate their audiences and slightly different ways, but in ways which are always beneficial to the business of leads in the united states. and what we're starting to see now is that the american fund to some extent american, some of them are americans, but the business, the leads in the united states, i hate the american people. there is no other way to describe it. and we look at what you on musk and other elements of the new trump administration are pushing in terms of the h one b work visa program, trying to bring in, who knows how many millions of people from india? well, we've already flooded the american labor market and destroyed a low skill labor in the united states through immigration from latin america. so the united states doesn't really need more low skill immigration, and there isn't a huge pool of labor to draw on for that in latin america anymore. anyway,

most of the people who wanted to get into the united states already have but who has not gotten into the united states. it's people who could take on sort of tech roles and middle the middle income, middle wage, middle class positions, particularly the sorts of jobs that the h one b visa program would allow. so the business of leads of the united states are going to now use the trump administration in order to massively increase the number of low wage workers coming in to displace the american work well and the preferred alexander s with the this is america. first policies, i'm being facetious, of course. that's one of the things we're gonna find that michael before we go to the break here, do you remember what joe biden said when he was inaugurated? what kind of foreign policy he wanted to have you met? i mean, this is not a trick question, but he said that his administration will have a middle class foreign policy. do you remember that? what happened to that?

i have to confess. i don't remember that. well, i mean we're, we're, we're good at quickly fig. get the bite and ministration. believe me keep going. i mean, i, you know, i, i, the one thing i remember is, you know, nothing fundamentally will change that. you know, that i remember, i mean, advise me, was selected by the democratic party to be the gatekeeper of the current neo liberal system. and you know, it, to that extent. i think he's been highly successful in providing a platform for the professional managerial class to continue to exert leverage over that working class that he claims to still think that he comes from as well. i mean my michael, the, the, the of the p. m saves, i'm glad you brought it up here because as we move forward a week, next week, we will have the next president of the united states of 47. but it seems to me that

they're trading one set of all the guards and billionaires for another set because i don't see, i didn't see the last 4 years, the middle class foreign policy. and i don't see a mag of foreign policy because of the people that drum as around him or a gentleman. i'm going to interrupt myself. we're going to go to a short break. and after that short break, we'll continue our discussion on anthony blake. and it's like us to be stay with our to the the welcome back to across software. all things are considered on peter roosevelt to mind you were discussing lincoln's legacy, the

okay, let's go back to alexander. i mean, one of the things that is quite fascinating to want or maybe, but now depending on how you want to look at it, is that, you know, we had in election in november and in many ways kind of world historical. we've never seen this kind of political come back considering the established law fair against trump. it's control of the media of hollywood, about academia, etc, etc. and they still came out on top of most like a last or it's a figure and he won the popular vote. okay. and so i usually don't invoke on this program. brock obama, but i will elections have consequences or at least they should. and i think that, you know, what we've seen since the election to the, to the point that we're talking right now is that, you know, uh, the, the trump team on spring breaks, they're having a wonderful time there. right now. their parents gave them credit card. so they're

having a wonderful time, but it's gonna get very, very sober next week. go ahead. alexander. well, we have to consider who won the 2024 election. because we have to remember that the 2020 election was stolen and a lot of people in the united states are living in a fairy land where they just decided to forget that trump won the 2020 election, but was denied the office. well, now and 24, somehow the democrats managed to get 6000000 fewer votes than in 2020. how does this happen? well, we know that something on the order of 15000000 fake votes were created in order to get bite in the presidency. and so this time the democrats just didn't do that. so why? well, the only logical explanation is that trump made a deal with people who have the influence to prevent the democratic party machine

from stealing another presidential election when they already control the executive office. so they had everything going for them and they just decided to let it go. well, i haven't really thought about alexandra and all it all fair. i'm not going to disagree with you. but in all fairness, the, the drums, but victory was so overwhelming that it was really hard to deny. and we didn't have the conditions of cobit as well, which is an important call the out here. but i get to a point here. let me go back to michael and, and tash can i was returning to blinking in, in an important way. here. one of the things that the by didn't ministration did with its foreign policy. is it really turn the united states into a pariah on the world stage? americans don't know this are not aware of this year, but the culpability of the vitamin ministration with the genocide is not going to go away. ever. go ahead and test good. ever. you know, i've been thinking about whether or not people like bite in and blinking are

directly complicit within this genocide. and i know that this is a very controversial word to use, but that's exactly what it is. and i would say as absolute best people like blinking, inviting are not come are directly complicit because this is the actions and the decisions of the is really state and is really government. but there enablers their defenders at the international front. economically speaking, they provide israel with cart blash support militarily, diplomatically at the un security council is real, would not be able to do what it does without the complete support from the united states. and we need to be very clear that next week when

trump takes over, this is not going to change exactly. exactly. it is not going to change. i, i very rarely go on twitter x, whatever. it's called these days. but i warned everyone that you know, you can have a good feeling right now. but we, we could go from easily genocide, joe, to genocide done. and it's going to have because the world is not going to see it differently. donald trump is not some great hope to change the world. what people are hoping is that maybe he will start adjusting american fault foreign policy that would be in the interest of the american middle class. as i pointed out at the 1st part of the program here. so yeah, alexander, you know, this is what we are faced right now because there's going to be a huge disappointment. and i would even wait, wait your to say within the mag a movement. go ahead, a donald trump is beholden to his donors and he took

a $100000000.00 from miriam, 8 olsen, reportedly in exchange for commitments on supporting and is railey annexation of the west bank. $100000000.00 is not something that trump can just walk away from. he needed it. and he's going to need the support of these people in order to be able to get anything done, whatever he may try to get done in this administration. so we have to understand also the direction of the relationship between the united states and israel, and the united states does not necessarily support is real. rather we should understand the united states is a vassal state of israel. we saw when leaving nothing yahoo came to washington and he got a record number standing ovations. practically every sentence. he said in congress, it was a standing ovation for longer than the sentence took to say it was, it was absolutely ridiculous. it was disgusting to see a foreign leader applauded in this way when he was carrying out this genocide in

the middle of the east attacking multiple countries. and this is what the united states has been reduced to as a vassal state of israel. and trump understood that to his credit, perhaps from a campaigning perspective and took advantage of it during his campaign. and now we're going to read the consequences of that during his administration. you know, my goal is alexander brings up a good point. i'm not necessarily, i don't think i really necessarily agree, i mean as a facile of state, it seems to me that america, the american foreign policy wants continued hedge them on a, particularly in the middle east. and israel is its proxy and well they commit. so uh, a jet aside, but the base continue are had gemini, i think it's more like that kind of relationship right there. it's, yeah, it's because the americans want to maintain, had germany and deny countries like around influence. they're willing to go along

with the most growth test acts that humans can commit against each other. it's more or less how i look at it. what are your thoughts, michael? yeah, i'm in agreement with you on this. do i mean, is this big debate as to who controls who, you know, sometimes believe that is real controls the united states, other say that the united states is the one that ultimately uses israel as a proxy. so i'm of the mind in which american foreign policy, regardless of democrat or republican in the white house as follows, the same strategy and the same policies within strategic areas like the middle east, within the study of international relations. we have a model colds, you know, commitment theory or commitment problems is largely written by the great i, r c, or as james fear on. in other words,

the united states is committed to cropping up defending certain states and certain policies and regions around the world. let's just use it as real as a good example of this get wrong is the bad guy is real, is the good guy. and it doesn't matter what is real, does iran does? it is much more prudent for the united states to continue with the same policy, then completely per 1st and tactics making it look like we are now suddenly abandoning our ally, despite the fact that the ally is now committing grotesque acts of multiple war crimes, not just in the palestinian territories, but also in southern lebanon. they are now just openly occupying large areas of southern syria. if they just simply add exit along with the goal on heights. i am very doubtful that american foreign policy will condemn this in the same way they condemned russia's annexation of territories in ukraine. so simply because of the

fact that it makes more sense to continue down the path that you are on, then to do a complete $180.00, and seem like you are now abandoning your allies because of the new administration or just new geo political realities. you know, it's, it's very interesting, alexander, the calling card of anthony blinking during the past disastrous for years was the rules based order. and i was really interesting because they got the americans got all their minions in europe to start mimicking it over and over again. is a bit of had some kind of meaning, but what we have is a rules disorder at the end of this administration. i, we all agree here that there is continuity with the, with a uh, a obama administration or a bush administration tolerate genocide. we don't know, okay, that's only a hypothetical thing here, but to, to, to gloss it over in the rules based order. i certainly hope that, that,

that term is forever retired. go ahead. alexander. yeah, i think that america has not been taken very seriously by the adults in the room like russia and china and other emerging economies around the world when the secretary of state flies around the world. and all he produces is a bunch of slogans designed for domestic consumption in america. it's a very embarrassing, very embarrassing. but you see that when lincoln was in d. c, he would be simply doing the jobs that israel would send him. so his job was to run cover for nothing, you know, a whole while he would like sandra. i mean the phrase is he was israel's lawyer. right? perfect. right. so he's giving press conferences and explaining that a ceasefire is very close to the all who has agreed to a cease fire and that very same day nothing yahoo has already announced that he will not agree to any cease fire. obviously the administration knew that obviously

blinking knew that and yet they went inside it. so what could this be except for domestic propaganda purposes or just to confuse people or confuse some observers as to how disconnected they could be. but we know they cannot be this disconnected during regular communication. okay, michael, we have one last minute here. i'm going to be a little provocative with you. i started out the program by claiming that anthony, blinking wasn't a diplomat. does that make you considering his 10 years? is that make you miss henry kissinger? you know, that's the, you know, i'll just leave it at that. no, no, no. what i'm, what, what, what am i, my point is my point is, i'm a, and i'm obviously being provocative here. michael. but you know, the, the, you know, the, the, the going to try and mix and going to china, things like that. this is what diplomats do. i mean there, there's a lot of collateral damage, obviously,

but that was thinking strategically about the national interest, even if we disagree with the outcomes. but the point is that i think it's already been mentioned here, is that now the secretary of state is just the cog in the works. and diplomacy has no role in american foreign policy. unfortunately, i don't think it's gonna change. it's all the time we have gentlemen want to take my guess and test good. and here in moscow. and of course i want to thank our viewers for watching us here at r t c. you next time. remember, the, [000:00:00;00]

the, the celebrations erupt in gaza after you as president elect donald trump, but nights is up come, miles on these rail have agreed to a cease fire deal on the release of all hostages. the place also ad on the program. this, our situation is completed, just like everywhere else. i can under all be re branded neo nazi as all fatality and reveals the dar overtaking the pretty. and crude says key of admits funds for an air force members to serve in the front line infantry african
