yeah i mean i mean i i think you know as we move forward i mean i you know i lived in russia for a number of years and during the cold war period i think the majority of european people for the wrong reasons feared russia and russians possibly feared the people of europe but ny that we do have these open borders i think we have a greater unity and i think that when we look at the global picture i think that other nations other states other global states are actually quite envious of our potential unity and so i think the actual chance of any future war in europe is greatly reduced you could leverage of their own i'm going to keep pressing this point here i mean did in the european union the people sign up for it when they joined it because it's turning out to be a different project now. what i would say is that i mean and i probably have to say europe as a further a problem but the problem is that there are as many for the road probably as many for mothers as for there are countries in the world that's where our quality so far as we have to define our model for them is well that is for as

shock troops i mean and a shade the shades of the thirty's and you're mean in some ways well yes it's the beer hall putsch although i don't know or not i'd suggest you know. i know who who ever mentions hitler first with a story and this is the argument but. so we'll just leave it at that you're a big fan of reaganomics and supply side economics i seriously doubt your thought how to how did it not work or how it did work in the eighty's the mistake that people make is thinking because something worked at a particular time under a particular set of circumstances that all work forever under any circumstances at any time and all i have said is that yes reagan's policies worked in the eighty's they will not work today we have different problems today tax cuts will do no good whatsoever it is the worst possible solution to any problem at all we have a lack of aggregate demand we need to be hiring people and building public works that's what the economy needs. you sound like john maynard keynes keynes was right in the thirty's he was wrong in the seventy's and he's right today i mean what i

i mean, i'm telling you. even the communities who came out to vote, i think, were shocked by their own numbers and by their own power. i mean, when you look at the cuban community in florida, a community that has historically voted super conservative and suddenly see an entirely new generation voting, and you see those numbers that they put up for obama. it was extraordinary. and i think that a lot of folks have very poor sense of what's happening in this country on the ground. i mean, they're kind of all the way up here, whether it's age, class, institutional divisions. and they don't really have a real kind of panoramic or even a deep view of the real sort of granular shifts that have occurred in this country, that have been occurring. >> if you took that grand narrative and reduced it to a very short story, what is it? what's the plot? >> i think the plot is that there is an enormous gap between the way the country presents itself and imagines itself and projects itself and the reality of this country. whet

i mean. and depend as a referendum is sanctioned by a qualified majority of people i think there's a european union should simply accept this from theoretical point of view we may as sort of see i mean from the from the perspective of historians i am that being several waves of separatism we've got which actually. have been produced through the twentieth century after the end of world war after the second world war after eighty nine i mean we actually had to believe that history had come to an end but historically genius and goes on i'm from tears are not always a stable not always the same christian it's a really good point i mean over the centuries even in europe we have more and more countries i mean why stop the process. no i told them to agree peter with what anthony said well i just want to go i just want to go ahead yeah i know that my point is that in a free empire i would not talking about a european nation we're talking about a federal you know which we call which will be something l

i mean what's interesting if you look at it long term i mean people would point out the you know the stratfor hack which is as we all know when anonymous went in and hacked the intelligence firm known as stratfor however and that happened in december but exactly but they were the release was actually documents were actually twenty twelve even now when they first came out it wasn't really that you know media organizations didn't find it as important but they are still learning a lot of interesting things through that information however many people here are cited other things like. israel which is where anonymous took down many of the servers of the israeli government many of the officials what official websites and also syria where they tried to keep the internet on line for many even though it was virtually shut down for a couple of days or gaza as well i think during the crisis and i know a lot of us sort of went on to i think it was the i don't know if it was a prime minister or somebody in israel his facebook page was was hacked into by anonymous and there was a free palestine pu

won or are winning this if anybody you know in washington you think of the situation with the kurds i mean in historical perspective and they're doing pretty well considering what's been done to them since the end of the first world war well. i pretty much agree with the germans through the situation with what they were set. it looks like you know the spring basically create some sort of our war it where kurdish people can take advantage of it but then. we have to look at each in an individual case you know kurds in syria kurds in iraq kurds in turkey a totally different story. but there are significant differences between these groups there are linguistic differences there are cultural differences. and. there are economic differences but they all have been interests because already selected for you oppressed haven't they and that's what brings them together in their identity well that that may be the case when you look at from outside but i'm not sure to what extent kurdish people rally around that concept all together so and i think i think they tend to think within their nation state th

to the cops you know side here i mean really when you're looking at these trials here it almost seems like a kangaroo court where you have the jury pool the judge all kind of giving the cops this advantage i do think think they give him some advantage and a lot of this has to do with people trust the police and in most cases i'm a former police officer in several different jurisdictions and i can tell you most police are good people trying to do a great job it's a very tough job but i think the fact that sometimes the. people do juries do give deference to cops they do think that they do the right thing i think in some cases that really the alarms go off when they can tell when something's wrong they want to trust cops but sometimes they can tell when they shouldn't and i think a lot of times juries get it right with these things well that's that's good to know and you know just to let our audience know i don't think a lot of people realize that what you said before you don't need to open your door you don't need to let police come inside your house unless they do have probable cause

go to you first i mean as i said in the introduction as the arabs fight among themselves particularly in syria it's the kurds that are winning. hello peter i i don't know if i would. go that far to say kurds are winning i think that it's true that the kurds see an opportunity here and. consequently turkey. which is the country most concerned about kurdish nationalism having being host to the largest population of kurds in the world is cry wary of this situation but in particular i think when we talk about potential developments the most immediate case of course is syria and i don't think the situation on the ground there would suggest that there's a clear winner certainly not for a kurdish aspirations at the moment the kurds of course would like autonomy in syria and. probably the same in turkey but at the moment there are challenges to that there are internal divisions there is relationship with iraqi kurds who have tried to smooth out the visions so peter for the moment i think it's a complex question well i would if i could let me let me put it into perspect

specular that george george zimmerman has still with himself i mean there's just so many conspiracies and theories coming from all sides it's just really interesting but of course they really did bring racism into the dialogue again which i think a lot of people you know when you have a case like this so divisive and not send very true and i think you know when talking to people trying to figure out you know the reasoning behind the voting i'm a lot of people said the same thing said that he essentially it's a symbol it's a symbol of of race in the country and an opening of dialogue i mean when the president of states comes out and says hey my son could look like trayvon self it really does hit home and it strikes a chord in many many you know households across the country so when people took that into account well i believe they took that into account and as much yeah and also i mean the stand your ground laws which was really interesting with the whole case that i didn't realize how much influence the alec had on shaping these laws and and also the koch brothers and just kind of thi

i mean you have to look at weather. you know weather out there you know with the income but the socio economic area you know so obviously there are other things to look at i don't think you can just say that that's the reason i don't i also don't think that there's ever been a time that is i've seen anybody point to you where somebody with an unarmed person was actually able to stop a mass shooter so that people also have to consider that your notion that we should start arming teachers in schools so that we can be able to conceal carry into these gun free zones is somehow or the reason for violence and shooting that we need to take place but i'd like somebody to point me to as the legal. time when somebody was able to stop a mash unit because there is that one guy in the mall shooting that happened not too long ago who claims that he stopped that gunman because he was armed and poor gun i don't really know the full story about that but but i agree i mean arming teachers i mean that's just going one step in to crazy land

i mean a very brutal way as well. then you know i wanted the truth was to come out and the way things work in japan and i asked three hundred journalists the same question at the foreign correspondents club in tokyo in november what would have happened if i had gone to the japanese authorities would they have acted and only three people put their hands up to say they would so to me it was essential that overseas scrutiny and oversight and the like these lights in the studio shone on what had gone on because of the scandals in japan haven't resulted in the conclusion you would want so then what is the what are you really saying because they you know this company olympus it had the japanese arm of global auditors ernst and young and k. p. and g. were its auditors it's a multinational corporation where most people would probably think that there is some level of the same scrutiny when you're at that level you're saying japan is this alice in wonderland so what is it specifically about japan about the culture or that the c

yes i would see impunity i mean i do think that you know the united states is a nation of the rule of law and we take that responsibility seriously domestically i agree completely that i look forward to the day that the united states participates in as a member of the i.c.c. i do want to make clear though that there has been a very fundamental shift under the obama administration i mean we should recall that in the windies of the clinton administration united states did sign on to the i.c.c. in an unprecedented move president bush signed us from the room statute and under the obama administration we've actually been cooperating with the i.c.c. that is very different in the stands for very different i mean intrusion. using drones while using these drones killing people the u.s. wants to join the i.c.c. george jump in the united states is more than happy to cooperate with the i.c.c. when the i.c.c. is indicting and prosecuting adversaries of the united states of course it was absolutely delighted when the i.c.c. took on the case of gaddafi and then issued its indictment of gaddafi witho

mean to others. did you say peak oil or people water. i haven't heard the term before could you explain no no no no that's not a thing i'm asking you if it means anything to you because i can but i can talk about go ahead tony go ahead jump in. and we've got a problem but of course energy is in some ways more complicated much more complicated than water because whereas with water we've got in the room and in the soil and this is. energy we've got so. we've got four or five different renewable energies of the situation is quite complex and i don't want to come to you know you know my goal in washington for the cause you know we should be looking at water and oil as being the same power as when it comes to scarcity the question is should we look at water in oil in the same way in terms of how to respond i think the answer is no in this case i mean these are just very i certainly think it's i certainly hope not especially. and i'm not an oil economist i'm not in a common position to comment all along the specificity of that but i think there'

three bucks a month for food i should try it because you know how fabulous bad luck i don't get any i mean at the time and i believe that i'm seeing the same thing really messed up. in the old story so closely. it's. a little worse for the little thing the white house or for the. radio guy and for a minute. i want what we're about to give you've never seen anything like this i'm told. what's up guys i'm having martin this is great in the set of blackwater i mean is easier to me or whatever the hell they want to call themselves to appear less disgustingly evil well thanks to a no bid brand new contract worth twenty two million dollars u.s. special forces will remove it into a private base operated by blackwater not ganna stand the name of the base camp integrity cut laughable because what is the government do for a corporation that breaks the law and warns them with more contracts of course the controversial move by the pentagon is only the latest shady deal negotiated with blackwater which has a history of agree just violations of international law including murder in afghan civilians and

do we speak your language i mean some of the well not of. the music programs documentaries and spanish what matters to you breaking news i want to turn a tip angola's story. for you here to. try to alter the spanish find out more visit actuality. the. blood rushes would be soon which brighten if you knew about someone from funds to impression this. means for instance our teeth don't come. well guys it's been a long year of data mining surveillance tracking and spine big brother seems to be reared its ugly head around every corner of planet earth as you may noticed on the show i try to give a regular update on the expansion of the survey on state two thousand and twelve the seen an enormous growth of every kind of technology capable of dropping that the government cannot wait to seize and use against you and me so how they go over the top five creepiest elements of the surveillance state joining me now is my own breaking the separatists are men of already high hey great so let's go over the list really quickly. number five buses with surveilla

three bucks a month for food i should try it because you know how fabulous i had lunch i got so many i mean i have my hands down i believe that i'm seeing the same thing really not. in the old story so personally apologize it's. worse for the link to. the white house or to the. radio guy minestrone i think what. we're about to give you never seen anything like this i'm told. what's going on i'm out in march and this is breaking the set today i want to talk about him cuts not just any handcuffs it's a very controversial set of handcuffs to be the perfect addition for the growing holy state this is an illustration of the next generation of handcuffs created by scottsdale inventions in arizona the cust could be fitted with an accelerator own homemade or. butter that a tracking device a microphone a camera and a biometric sensor to measure your state of health not only that but the design also comes about how does a unit for electrodes i could deliver an electric shock to the detainee but the future is not the handcuffs of tomorrow wouldn't be complete without the ability to administer drugs di

i mean i think. i mean i'm in new york at the moment and everyone's worried here about the fiscal deficit. in europe because of the euro crisis but japan when the dog starts barking that he won't be barking he'll be howling the japan has got sovereign debt quibbling to two hundred thirty five percent of its g.d.p. and it's growing. japan has lost two decades if you just look at its consumer electronics sony has lost ninety three percent of its value since the year two thousand show issued a statement a few weeks ago saying it's not sure it will survive and had to get four point five billion dollars of money from two of its banks which will last through only two panasonic you've just lost ten billion dollars all three companies the debt is not considered junk rated as jones so you're very bearish broadly on japan it's interesting because maybe not from the corporate side but in terms of the government side many economists come on this show and say the u.s. is becoming japan in terms of last decades in

times after he was fired i don't know if you've lived in japan or spent any time the have not no i mean japan is truly an alice in wonderland works to a different set of rules to anywhere else on this planet i did try six letters to my board colleagues pleading begging them to bring in forensic accountants and ninety six later i asked for the resignation. of the chairman. and of the vice president mori and i asked my other board colleagues not to put the fact that i was a guy a foreigner before the facts and put the company before any personal loyalties but they took no notice and fired me in a very brutal way as well. then. i wanted the truth was to come out and the way things work in japan and i asked three hundred journalists the same question at the foreign correspondents club in tokyo in november what would have happened if i had gone to the japanese authorities would they have acted and only three people put their hands up to say they would so to me it was essential that overseas scrutiny and oversight and the like these lights in the studio shone and want it gone on because of th

is a winner on one side a loser on the other of ours to be marketing it you know i mean i'm i'm against this i think here you are trying to dictate behavior the problem here i see it is you're taking the transactions and you're taxing or having a fee on the transactions not who's making money so you're technically taking money from people losing money and that's counterproductive but also as a bigger picture thing you know the lead in the business was spanish-american war a war spanish-american war war world war one and the bigger picture here is we need new we're trying to invent new times the taxes a reinstate older taxes to new technology to fund war or to fund big government programs the first thing we need to do is get rid of a lot of programs including military spending and then we can see how many of these taxes we really need but i'm against that it's not a free market principle obviously to tax transactions and not just what people make from them i wouldn't say we're funding big government programs we don't have enough money right now to fund the basic programs that were create

three bucks a month for food i should try it because you know how fabulous i'd like i got so many i mean i have my hands at the town i believe that i'm seeing the same thing really messed up. in the old story so personally apologize that's. the worst you are going through the white house or the. radio guy and four minutes from me. i want closure of a good because you never seen anything like this i'm told. the tough guys are now the marne for today i want to talk to you about one of my biggest pet peeves speed cameras and it's not just because these cameras are becoming so frequent that there are almost no where you can go without being watched tracked our data mine is because of instances of drivers getting duped into pin money that they don't know take for example one maryland driver just received a photo ticket for speeding one problem here the driver was stopped at a red light he was even driving at the time this picture was taken about this a virginia woman who was fighting nine tickets from the same speed camera and for each one she received a notice the ticket find a double withou

sickly anything that we share online anything that we we express i mean does that mean that we're now targeted for simply liking something. the government here yes absolutely i don't want to bring this too much into the internet what computer laws really means in the realm of terrorism crimes but it's very real problem i was speaking earlier twenty or producers about how and you are in timers a fellow from new york city who was recently arrested and converted recently convicted on a bunch of computer related charges and in his indictment the prosecutors call into question a lot of direct statements he made on line in internet chats and emails that were nothing but pure hyperbole and he was typing something it's different when we're talking right now people speak differently on the internet and he was making these outlandish claims but when he got into a courtroom they read these transcripts they use that against him so nothing you do on the internet is safe and even if you're joking about something you can easily not not that this may have been what happened here but it's very. troubl

post founder of the national security was coalition of really appreciate you coming on thank you i meankeep up the good work . i feel like what you see so far go to our youtube channel at youtube dot coms us breaking the sides and tried to get our facebook page at facebook dot com slash breaking the set if you wanted about what i'm doing when i'm not on earth follow me on twitter and i mean martin i take a break from my preaching for now but stay tuned to hear about the solution to america's strategy in afghanistan next. play. please. please. please. please. please. please please. please. play. olympos. her mother lives. in. the speech. her. mother will. pluck. solomon good luck. good luck. just see my mother and look at. her. little mother i know i'm a little. sis live. live . the. mood to be soo much brighter if you move on someone from feinstein freshened so. nice for instance on t.v. don't come. very late. to. so guys as we already mentioned today marks the one year since obama commemorated the formal end of the u.s. mission in iraq but stability in the country is still a long road

i mean. you know as i'm sitting here listening to really mess. in the very small social it is the. first or the most. radio guy and four minutes from me. i want you to watch what we're about to give you never seen anything like this until. the top guys and having learned from today i want to talk to you about one of my biggest pet peeves speed cameras and it's not just because these cameras are becoming so frequent that they're almost no where you can go without being watched tracked our data mine it's because of instances of drivers getting duped into the money that they don't know take for example one maryland driver just received a photo ticket for speeding one problem here the driver was stopped at a red light he was even driving at the time this picture was taken about this a virginia woman who is fighting nine taken from the same speed camera and for each one she received a notice the ticket find a double without ever receiving the original ticket so perhaps these are mistakes we have to wonder specially when you know that in washington d.c. traffic cameras generated eighty fo

i mean, you're right. it's one of those, you know, several aspects of the story that i think is told so often and can be told in a caricatured way. i struggled with how to, you know, deal with it myself. you just can't ignore it. it's, you know, i mean, i think -- i think it was the detroit news just had that poll recently -- >> sure. >> where 40% of the detroiters said they wanted to move within the next four years if they could citing crime as the number one reason. >> right. >> i mean, it's like you can't tell the story, honestly, without reckoning with that kind of thing, but how to do it was tricky. you know, again, i think telling the story through characters, for me, was the way to go. it's the kind of non-fiction writing i like to read, you know, hearing it through a character rather than through, you know, statistics or whatever. i mean, along the lines of crime, one -- john carlisle, detroit blogger john -- [laughter] there he is. he took me to the weird place, a whole other story called club thun

well what i should be held accountable what i mean what happened i mean the government just said case closed on not as well that they couldn't be held accountable i mean is anyone doing anything at all to to help hold the people accountable that did knowingly lie and put forty thousand people's lives on the line just so wall street could run. i don't believe so and honestly i don't really know enough about that i although i knows that. we did go in we were told it was safe we weren't given proper of a. ventilator you know face this in order to prevent and helling with the toxins and the world suffering now from indeed well thank you so much for coming on shedding a little bit of light on the ongoing struggle that you guys are facing could you give us a web site really quickly of where people can go to learn more yes it's the feel good foundation. f o u n d a t i o n dot com feel good conversation and if you can call your senators or call in to a public. time absolutely i mean it's an absolute disgrace cycle to see this government have all the first responders as heroes to try to sell

i mean. i believe that i'm seeing the same thing really messed up. and we're all very sort of. the. worst we're going through the white house for the. radio guy and for a minute. what we're about to give you never seen anything like this i'm still. going on i imagine martin this is breaking the set so today is army private whistleblower bradley manning's twenty fifth birthday and as of today he spent nine hundred thirty six days in attention in iraq kuwait and now quantico virginia is in prison and has been condemned by the un and countless activists who see his treatment as nothing short of torture bradley manning is accused of providing wiki leaks with hundreds of thousands of diplomatic cables and military documents that shed a light on some of the u.s. government's most horrific war crimes even more so the reaction to those revelations has revealed the u.s. military is under impunity from said crimes many people including myself see bradley many as a hero who put his life on the line to provide the truth to the american public the u.s. government however sees many as a traitor a

i mean i will towards my brothers to the north it doesn't mean i have any ill will towards any racial group i simply want to be able to protect by culture and my people in advance the best interests of them and very interesting discussion and i know you've taken a lot of flak for it but we appreciate your time here today and i was matthew hemlock founder of the white student union. all right well tis the season for christmas trees menorahs over eating over spending and one more thing political correctness most of us at one time or another have had that awkward moment where you don't know whether to wish someone a merry christmas or a happy hanukkah just plain happy holidays we've seen the so-called war on christmas play out on fox news and other stations and we've watched governor lincoln chafee of rhode island change the name of the annual christmas tree to the holiday tree one rhode island lawmaker went so far as to call the governor governor grange but wait a minute isn't this season about love and family and holid

mean to others. did you say peak oil or people water. i haven't heard the term before could you explain no no no no sorry i'm asking you if it means anything to you because i can't i can talk about him tony go ahead jump in. which is falling on the idea of peak oil where there seems if you look at the numbers on oil and gas that we've reached a point where on about an hour in the case of gas a little bit in the future where the next in the amount of gas per year. is being mobilized and after that the volumes that could be mobilized will get less and if we've got the demand for those products those energy projects which got to the very peak level then if the vein ability is going down then we've got a problem but of course the energies in some ways more complicated much more complicated than water because whereas with water we've got in the rivers in the grass and in the soil and the same sort of energy we've got three or four different fossil fuels and we've got four or five different renewable energies in the situation is quite complex an

i mean. i know that i'm still the same thing really messed up. and we're all very sort of silly. and. worse you're going to go oh my how sick of a. radio guy minestrone click that i want what we're about to give you never seen anything like this i'm told. come on guys i'm abby martin i can do a very special edition of breaking the set the show is a crusade against the mainstream media because i think it's important to rethink the establishment narrative unfortunately i'm not the only one oscar winning director all over stone has been on this very same mission for quite some time check it out once the media everyone talks about that thing the news of the day and all the subconscious really important stuff that's going on is being neglect for you to distract us from what you and i should care about because they're a profit driven industry that sells a sensationalistic garbage he calls it breaking news. so without further ado here to talk about their new showtime series and book i'll be joined by oliver stone and later his co-author peter cousin dick so let's break that set. of the

that just historically false that's just a false claim i mean there have been trial i didn't say that i said. that i know that is and that's not what i said. but the majority of the indictment and you know the difference i quit in majority acquittal and acquittal most of them had in the equations and very few of those leaders to milly's this case the media on a reasonable animals and there's usually no way you should have been so in years if if i could please finish what you said i was in a race on this one issue of trying to say well respect that go ahead lawrence well you made an incorrect claim at first now you're saying now you're saying in fact these people were indicted tried and acquitted well the fact that someone is a quit it is not an example of the failure of impartial justice in fact in many ways it's an example of the success of impartial justice because what that indicates is simply that the prosecutor failed to make his or her case beyond a reasonable doubt and in fact it is the case that you know when you engage in a trial a trial is not a forum for simply venting poli

i mean. i know that i'm sitting in a really messed up. in the old story so it's a little it's a little worse you are going to go white house of a. radio guy and for a minute they click. away what we're about to do because you've never seen anything like this until. it's gone on guys on how the minds break in the sense they've got a lot to talk about today but first let me bring your attention to this story and speaking to n.b.c. news afghanistan president hamid karzai said that the u.s. is in part to blame for afghanistan's instability check it out. for a number of years ago a growing perception of kind of stuff. that the. it's a significant part of it's accused of in afghanistan it's called sed by the we. you know it states in some of its allies. promoted to. get started by spreading corruption in afghanistan by. employing private security firms who became an old their own. so having private mercenaries running around under cloak of impunity has people in afghanistan pissed off can't say i'm not shocked at that but that's not all because
