having me abbi so in your book you mention the idea of the quote muslim i mean dating back to the eleventh century in the crusades how does islamophobia today fit in that historical narrative well the argument that i make in the book as you just said is that empires always need an enemy and they need to generate fear and hatred in order to justify their actions around the world so back in the eleventh century when the polls actually launched the crusades it was not even the supposed holy war wasn't really about you know religion it was about extending the power of the papacy of the vatican over a united christian you are up and extending its influence into the middle east into the buys into an empire today after the events of nine eleven we have similarly seen the elevation of this idea. often islamic terrorist who is everywhere around the world and against whom there must be an endless war on terror that gets waged

for many of the crimes of september eleventh two thousand and one have been investigated and the case closed the conclusion nineteen arab hijackers led by a sum of a lot and successfully carried out the terrorist attacks by catching a trillion dollar defense industry completely off guard however millions of people around the world say that there are many questions left unanswered about what really happened that day and why because most of the evidence has been destroyed independent investigators have taken the initiative to piece together the facts themselves one of them being kevin ryan is the coeditor of the journal of nine eleven studies and author of another nineteen a book examining one thousand alternative suspects that he alleges has the real means motive an ability to pull off the nine eleven attacks i spoke to him earlier and first asked him why he decided to write this book check it out. well because not only was the origin war on terror which is close to the station around the world. the u.s. mission reports were known to be false the nine eleven commission report did i mea

need to generate fear and hatred in order to justify their actions around the world so back in the eleventh century when the polled actually launched the crusades it was not even the supposed holy war wasn't really about you know religion it was about extending the power of the papacy of the vatican over a united christian europe and extending its influence into the middle east into the bios and. today after the events of nine eleven we have similarly seen the elevation of this idea often a small make terrorist who's everywhere around the world and against whom there must be an endless war on terror that gets waged and as you said earlier this is been the justification for the growth. in national security state you know there was some limits put on the national security state back in the one nine hundred seventy s. with the church committee and committee reports but since nine eleven of course this is all risen once again in order to supposedly protect us against the islamist terrorist who is everywhere but what is going to not work anymore because it's been more than twelve years since nin

i for many of the crimes of september eleventh two thousand and one have been investigated and the case closed the conclusion one thousand arab hijackers led by a sum of a lot and successfully carried out the terrorist attacks by catching a trillion dollar defense industry completely off guard however millions of people around the world say that there are many questions left unanswered about what really happened that day and why because most of the evidence has been destroyed independent investigators have taken initiative to piece together the facts themselves one of them being kevin ryan is the coeditor of the journal of nine eleven studies and author of another maintain a book examining one thousand alternative suspects that he alleges has the real means motive an ability to pull off the nine eleven attacks i spoke to him earlier and first asked him why he decided to write this book check it out. well because not only was the origin or on terror which is close to the station around the world. the official reports are known to be false the nine eleven commission report did not answer

little as we reflect upon the tragic events of september eleventh there are undoubtedly many who are still seeking answers but the last twelve years we've seen nothing but corruption and deceit echoed throughout the political and media establishment all to perpetuate endless war and the erosion of our rights. this government can no longer be trusted at its word about pretty much anything and stead we need to seek out the truth for ourselves unfortunately the act of questioning anything about this event now runs the risk of being dismissed as a conspiracy theorist or a lunatic at a corporate media. that the government would deliberately kill three thousand people to accuse the president of this because of this she's protecting while interest that men are about to tell doctors say should cannot say that any member of the bush administration knew it was going to happen i wanted it to have it's a ridiculous thing to say every time rosie o'donnell says something about nine eleven conspiracies or the billions in your teeth being like a mind numbing government plot against you i mean it's g

it's wednesday september eleventh eight pm in washington d.c. i'm sam sax and you're watching r.t. and we begin with a meeting in geneva scheduled to begin tomorrow between secretary of state john kerry and russian foreign minister sergey lavrov the focus of the meeting is drafting a u.n. resolution that the security council can agree to to compel syrian president bashar al assad to give up his chemical weapons stockpiles as president obama noted in his primetime speech last night he's asked congress to delay votes authorizing military force in syria until it's determined whether or not this diplomatic solution is indeed viable already though we're seeing some discord on what a diplomatic solution looks like as russia says it can support any resolution that threatens military force against syria while also forcing syria to disarm but the united states argues that the only way to get syria to disarm is with the threat of military force and in his speech last night president obama insisted that military force is still very much an option. i've ordered our military to maintain their c

september eleventh changed the world our deepest fears now. yet i am convinced that military action will not prevent further acts of international terrorism against the united states this is a very complex and complicated matter. a complicated matter indeed not only would america be waging a war against an invisible enemy in the name of national security and lawmakers recklessly abandon their responsibility to uphold the values of the constitution. however difficult this vote may be some of us must urge the use of restraint our country is in a state of mourning some of us must say let's step back for a moment let's just pause just for a minute and think through the implications of our actions today so that this does not spiral out of control yes we should have taken that moment to consider the logic of fighting a tactic and every corner of the world see barbro really understood the consequences that go along with military action shandor said that hate begets hate and violence begets violence. as a member of the clergy so eloquently said. as we

with this war this war is still being fueled from the outside the report that just came out is the eleventh report of the commission inquiry on the syrian arab republic the mandate of the commission covers violations of human rights and international military law that's warfare rules of conduct in warfare but typically covering the plight of civilians and that's what we aim for very much in terms of a central at sea of coverage with a view to identifying those responsible in terms of accountability and sadly the situation is still it's a very devastating situation and the killings that torture mr montagu are sort of for a jumping. but i want to know you just mentioned the station is getting increasingly more desperate and increasingly more dangerous but i wonder if it could have been different really because what would be an alternative to committing war crimes in a war zone the only alternative i can think of would be not having this war at all so i would like to ask you could you cite any specific example maybe from the recent history of a war conducted in a good way in accordance with th

it's wednesday september eleventh five pm in washington d.c. i'm sam sax and you're watching r.t. and we begin with the united states senate where today the senate was expected to hold a vote on. they force in syria but as president obama noted in his primetime speech last night that vote has been delayed at his request while he and secretary of state john kerry confer with russia to see if their diplomatic solution to compel syria to hand over its chemical weapons stockpiles is indeed viable and secretary kerry is expected to meet with his russian counterpart in geneva tomorrow to go over all of this the next stage is the united nations where the united states allied with france and the u.k. will try to work with china and russia to pass a u.n. resolution requiring assad to give up his chemical weapons but already there are some discord as russia says it can't support any u.n. resolution that threatens military force against syria while also forcing syria to disarm but the united states argues that the only way to get syria to disarm is with the threat of military force and in hi

heat wave lights and air conditioners went out all over detroit for over four hours on september eleventh over fourteen hundred sites around the city of detroit had no power public transportation failed traffic lights didn't work and hundreds of people had to be evacuated from city buildings power outages happen in cities like detroit that have aging infrastructure but some activists now claim that something far more sinister caused last week's blackout in the motor city and they're pointing to an interview detroit's compliance officer gary brown gave to a local fox affiliate about that blackout as well as other statements from city officials as evidence that they had actually planned this out. we did start calling our customers. prior to taking them down and asking them to comply and turn up the air conditioners but they weren't responding it's fast as we would have liked them to and so we had to do the strong message by turning the power off so why would a city government shut down its own power infrastructure and one of the hottest days of the year i'm joined now by reverend d.l. xande

the start of the libyan revolution of february twenty eleventh six months into the unrest the i.c.c. sudan arrest warrants for both colonel gadhafi and his son on charges of crimes against humanity over the deaths of political opponents and the war in libya handed with the death of moammar gadhafi at the hands of rebels not over twenty eleven but rest a geisha nor trial into that killing followed the i.c.c. then started informal talks with saif ali has him to surrender himself to the hague over fears he would share the fate of his father however he was captured by living or thora two years while trying to leave the country in the vendor shortly afterwards the government announced he would go on trial for war crimes in tripoli rejecting the i.c.c. as calls for his handover saying it had no jurisdiction in june i.c.c. officials were detained by a libyan armed group for several weeks after visiting saya five islamic used of conspiring against the state and since then he hasn't had access to a lawyer libya what's the i.c.c. approval for its domestic trial of gadhafi son in may this year

date from that time the patriot act was passed in the weeks after the september eleventh two thousand and one attacks. it goes way overboard in a number of ways not just in what it what the n.s.a. thinks it empowered them to do the amendments act which i would also repeal in the legislation that i've introduced. it came some years later but it has also been used as the justification for these excess of practices by the n.s.a. both of those were supposed to have sunset provisions in other words recognizing that they were passed in an urgent manner. and that therefore they might not be right. there was this there was intended to be a sunset so that they would expire and then we could take another look at what needed to be done. congress really didn't handle that sunset those sunset provisions right so my legislation essentially does what those sunset provisions should have done it would repeal the patriot act the amendments act it gives us a chance to. start over in a sense and ask what legislation do we need to get appropriate intelligence to protect the american people and put in appr

a little as we reflect upon the tragic events of september eleventh there are undoubtedly many who are still seeking answers but the last twelve years we've seen nothing but corruption and deceit echoed throughout the political and media establishment all.

activists inside syria as well as a message for those backing them and the current report which is eleventh report. has a litany a sad litany of violations by government groups government forces and it also covers the acts the misdeeds of non-government groups and i give you one example the issue of child soldiers for example we raise very prominently and openly in regard to the conduct of non-government groups in terms of usage of children as soldiers minister likewise in any other war many more crimes committed by the rebels that you list but let me press you a little bit on that because i think this is a crucial point the syrian government as well as the syrian rebels have been criticized for that atrocities but again i come back to my original point is whether you can really add differently in a situation of a civil war and more specifically since most of the dads come from challis i wonder if indeed the syrian government could have chosen a different way different option of conducting that war and what that option would be from a humanitarian point of view well one angle is prevention

there's nothing in it all the western democracies after september the eleventh almost started an arms race like in the cold war but this time those arms are used against their own citizens this makes me extremely angry so today i'm wearing a wedding dress that symbolizes the love for democracy to which i say yes and i will love till death do us part i did this level of outrage which is prompted the european commission to say that well edward snowden's leaks have been a wake up call and that they need to put forward some kind of legislation that will come but companies they give forward information about the source and stop them from doing nothing and the hunting over the private information of european citizens to the united states. in the league documents the n.s.a. states its goal of gaining unrestricted access to server space it's the sheer scale of the data harvesting that's got people worried according to the director of the center for investigative journalism at london city university who spoke to me earlier. it's been going on a long time people forget that in the seventy's. a
