was the arrest the arrest of a presidential candidate in this election jule styne nominee from the green party she was arrested shortly before the debate right outside the town hall where this debate was being held that she and her running mate were protesting their exclusion from these presidential debates they were asked to leave they refused to do so and they were arrested for blocking the traffic the fact that there are other candidates in this presidential election outside these two parties very few americans know anything about that is because as jule styne told me when we sat down for an interview a few months ago they're being pushed out of the debates by those who are interested in keeping a two horse race she was referring to special interests take a listen what they really have is the support of the one percent and then they have a propaganda campaign going on an intensive public relations and psychological warfare that's intended to convince people that they don't have any options the american system is designed to eliminate political opposition like some of the you know dict

virgil goode they were very thoughtful in their presentations governor johnson very thoughtful jule styne who ironically ran against mitt romney wants very thoughtful so even in the issues that are important to them they were very analytical they put it in policy terms it was not a reality show about gaffes or who's going to say what to piss off whomever they were you know they were talking about the issues it was bizarre. when you take that reality show atmosphere which is a carnival fed by money. out of it you have people talking leaders talking about issues and as a media analyst president what do you think about the can and utter media blackout i mean of course they've had a couple of networks that had jill stein and gary johnson on for a couple minutes to write these people exist yet the complete lack of this coverage in the corporate world it's clear i mean goes back to what i said about a reality show when you don't make money by giving people p.b.s. you make money by giving people lunacy and that's what this is watered down reality show melodrama i mean mitt romney's campaign mana

again the other contenders are being shoved to the margins green party presidential nominee jule styne and her running mate were arrested this week after trying to make their way to the venue for last tuesday's debate stein blames the system for locking out nearly a third of the country's population at the upcoming election green party campaign manager ben matzke believes the two party domination is down to outdated laws and corporate control the reality is that there's nothing in our constitution which prevents a multi-party system from emerging here in the u.s. but we do have laws on the books all across the country and we also have the actions of private corporations that have grown up over the last sixty years to prevent independent parties from challenging the two establishment parties here in the united states the laws that we have in the books prevent or make it very difficult for independent parties to get on the ballot to kill voters that choice those laws date from the cold war they date from the mccarthy era in which there was a fear of communism and socialism and they tried

very little if anything really about any of those candidates alternative candidates when parties jule stynewas arrested last week on the day of the big debate between president obama and mitt romney it went completely ignored by the media the nominee from the green party was protesting her exclusion from the major presidential debate and she was arrested for blocking the traffic it took place right outside the debate hall in new york she talked about her experience during this debate take a listen. we were arrested we were tightly bound with plastic restraints and tied to chairs for eight hours for daring to stand up and demand open debates but this is what all of us need to do. well just jill stein is now suing the commission on presidential debates for not letting her take part in the big national debate although dr stein argues she meets all u.s. constitutional no required requirements to take the office of president because the commission is organized and controlled by democratic and republican parties there is no enthusiasm on the part of the truth to lead a third party in arguably bot

between republican mitt romney and democrat barack obama and may never even hear about rocky anderson jule styne gary johnson virgil goode or peddle lindsey these are all completely legitimate and viable third party candidates most of whom will be listed on the ballot to vote for in almost every state but unfortunately amidst the twenty four seven media fervor of election coverage these candidates are completely ignored and their ideologies which are shared by a large percentage of american citizens are completely absent from the dialogue and talk about just that and more i'm joined now by russ baker editor of who what why dot com and author of family of secrets the bush dynasty ross thank you so much for coming in studio my pleasure so ross you just wrote a great article called in stacking the deck the status quo third parties and you know in light of all the debates happening we saw the v.p. debate two of the presidential debates what do you take away from them and what do you think about the exclusion of the third party candidates in the conversation both to me the most striking thing is that

i mean coal you don't hear about alternative energy which is what adrian was talking on earlier jule styne is green new deal i mean this is really where we need to focus now in this country is a stain of all alternative energy sources i mean we're going to war again these resources to exploit the oil in these countries i mean it's just it's absurd it's obscene i mean you could even go down. clean coal guys there's no such thing as clean coal that's like saying seems like an odd play it seriously it's like saying cold fire doesn't exist sorry sorry to break it to. you know and it's interesting though the thing is that because there are so many interests of play that you see that these candidates sort of have to tap dance around things because they're worried about offending this person or bending this group or having you know that's that's a problem look at mitt romney that's the best example of catering and pandering to the far right and then coming in essentially the first of in disavowing everything that he was talking about during you know the primary so that's very very interesting and
