they readily admit they have lost their economic independence they've had martial law declared irelandand the u.k. severe austerity measures a bailout for the banks while they are stripping the income from the population of quantitative easing quantitative easing in the u.s. so this is a martial law as been declared by these banks or is against the population we are now at war without any equivocation whatsoever this just one of the sort about a policy issue it's not about an economic theory it's about. a war world war three is on and the finally maqsood know who are the participants in the war so you see the austerity taking the money from the workers you see the savings confiscation being proposed in germany and be happening in spain so you see those guys are one side of the war who is left standing well finally here on this headline is it to show investors are more than prepared for this but it will be more of a shock for the retail investors it looks like the senior debt holders will be made whole and explaining that is also going to be a political problem said michael simmons a fi

ireland decided this week to scrap their voting machines like the one stored here and. they're selling them for scrap metal because they found that they were too unreliable and too easy to hack they'd only use them once back in two thousand and two thousand and. unfortunately america hasn't learned as quickly as the irish used to be in america that exit polls are the gold standard determine if there were shenanigans in an election for over a century we use them and we got very very good at it they almost never deviated by more than a few tenths of a percentage from the actual electoral outcome and when they did it was a sure sign of fraud such a sure shot such a sure sign that exit polls were used successfully to expose and then overturn fraudulent elections in places like ukraine serbia and georgia polling companies were really good at this and they had great success here in the united states in the election of one thousand nine hundred eight when voting machines only recorded seven percent of the national vote but in the elections of two thousand in two thousand and t

i've lost friends who have been killed in northern ireland. nobody was happier than i am to see the possibility of peace in northern ireland. it's been a dreadful running sore in the united kingdom for far too long, but you're right about the cocktail. it's a rather peculiar cocktail in northern ireland where you overlay deep deprivation also alongside peculiar religious division, and a lot of residual violence and some of those are still in place today when i visit some of those communities and breaking those down is a very big job, but we're making strides toward that, but yes, hugely deprivation has a part to lay there. >> thank you. >> i thank the gentleman. mr. secretary, we thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to come and share some of your experiences in the united kingdom. we will continue to monitor closely and look forward to learn from what you're doing and continue this dialogue. thank you again. >> thank you, mr. chairman. >> as the secretary departs i would like to thank all of my colleagues for their unanimous con
