america has been the bastion of what lenin called the dictator toship of the bourgeoisee. >> 80 out of every hundred americans owns a weapon and the government has nothing to fear because -- this is the problem. that the one sort of figure in our revolutionary intellectual tradition, paine, which has been -- who had been marginalized and sigh helped, has not had in any heirs, and so hoffstetter writes about this in the become on violence, that you go back and look at american history, where it's the slave patrols or the pinkertons or baldwin or the coal-mining gun thugs or vigilantes who shot done the miners at blair mountain, right up to the tea party and militias, that violence in american society doesn't resolve around -- revolve around in a way it did in europe, around a transformative ideology but around this protest o'fascists. hatred, and that is something that as we move forward as a nation, and we endure the effects of climate change and economic disintegration, we are going to have to confront. look at nevada. suppose those people had been from earth first? or suppose they'd

what their western media did in ukraine it was exactly what can a long the lines outlined by vladimir lenin. the moral rules are very simple everything that benefits the so called revolution is moral and democratic everything that doesn't benefit their revolution is undemocratic immoral and should be dismissed russian propaganda or russian interference or putin's imperialism so from the very first days of the so-called my down protest the western media engaged yvonne kind of percent behind these so-called protesters it preferred not to notice known artists and on them it in general preferred not to notice their generally i would say zena for good nature or all of the new or thought of so it was very surprised when a civil war started in eastern ukraine and when the crimea decided to secede from ukraine. i am very puzzled when they hear from the western media that the wall has become unpredictable no the wall is very pretty much the same it used to be the problem is that the gap between their western coverage and their reality has got so much wider their western readers and television viewer

lenin was certainly right. there is no surer means of overturning the existing basis of the society than to be botched the currency. it engages all of the hidden forces of the economic law on the side of destruction and if does it in a manner that not one man in a million is able to diagnose. and we say in the book that unstable money is a little bit like carbon monoxide. it's odorless and colorless yet you don't know the damage it is doing until it is nearly too late. that's because people are not always aware when the government weakens the currency an and they only see the effect of that which is one reason why debasing money is so corrosive. people say that money is about greed but in fact it's about trust. it permits strangers from all nations and societies and all walks of life to come together and conduct transactions based on a commonly agreed-upon measure of value. in this way it promotes cooperation between people. it serves as an instrument of communication as well and it tells us what a society valu

in 1917, the russian revolution brought vladimir lenin to power, and led to the formation of the sovieton. the russian empire along with the austro-hungarian and german empires had dominated the european mainland before the war. all three collapsed and their territories ultimately became the states of modern day europe. the ottoman empire was divided into the nation-states including syria and iraq of the middle east. ever since, the redrawn borders have been points of contention, helping fuel conflicts that continue today. french prime minister francois hollande took note of that sunday, saying if france and germany can live in peace, so too can the middle east. >> ( translated ): to those who are losing hope about the peace process in the middle east, we couldn't send a more beautiful message than today's. france and germany's history proves that determination can overcome fatality. and that two people who were viewed as hereditary enemies can, within a few years, reconcile. >> reporter: world war one ultimately ended with the treaty of versailles, signed in paris in 1919. from then to

america has been a bastion of capital, what lenin called the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie the. >> and that is why violence in america is a vigilante violence. eighty out of every 100 americans owns a weapon. in the government has nothing to fear. and this is the problem. the one sort of figure in our revolutionary and sexual tradition which has been -- marginalized and silenced has not had any errors. and so hofstadter writes about this and that book on violence quit recently. you know, you go back and look at american history weather is the sleep patrol or the pinkerton's for the coal mining and looks tsk on the vigilantes' , right up to the tea party and the malicious. violence in american society does not revolve around -- in a way that it did in europe around a transformer in radiology. around these kind of proud of fascists. and that is something that as we move forward as a nation and me in toward the effects of climate change and economic disintegration were going to have to confront. you know, look at nevada. suppose those people had been black. what do you think would hav

was flying near lenin grad.k evasive maneuvers and flew over swede 0en 180 mile as way. u.s. officials say it was a mistake to fly in sweden's air space without permission. experts say the mission of the rc-135 plane are secretive. its capabilities impressive. it can pick up signals as strong as an air defense radar, as tiny as a cell phone call. >> those things would come into the aircraft. there are intelligence analysts on board who could look at the data and synthesize it, send it to ground commander whoz could do mohr work with it or send it up much high irto where a u-2 reconnaissance plane would be operating. >> reporter: analysts say escalating tensions between the u.s. and russia are especially dangerous right now. the russians are starting air defense exercises this week along the border with ukraine. >> this means we are going to see potentially an increased risk of accidents, provocations and potentially greater aggression in ukraine. >> we could not get russian officials to comment on this near enco

vladimir lenin once said of we lose ukraine we lose our head. is essential to the nationalist thinking of vladimir putin and now that he has made these advances he is not just going to stop and let it go and with nobody to stop them, not the western europeans are weak united states. of course he will try to take the prize. stuart: just keynesian, always there, always pressure from some place. president obama's family is scheduled to arrive at martha's vineyard for the start of a two week vacation. he will attend a fund-raiser at the birth the college of music. leader in the week he will go back to washington for couple days to attend an unspecified event, then he goes back to martha's vineyard. the press is on vacation again at a time, forgive my french but all hell is breaking loose. >> nobody begrudges any president for taking time the problem is this has been a repeating pattern with this president. when the world is blowing up, the middle east, a jihad army within miles of baghdad, syrian civil war still raging and russian forces massing on

is the driving force of this kind of -- >> i'm going to sound terrible here and put in a quote from lenin, saying something along the lines of economy is an extension of politics as well, something that mr. putin would know as well, but when does the economic reality really start affecting kremlin policy? >> putin and the administration, and this is for their kind of credit, has been a very prudent economic actor. they've been building up a very strong currency buffer, they have $500 billion of hard currency in reserve. they've been keeping debt at low levels, 15% of gdp on the public side. the central bank has been very prudent in terms of being ahead of the curve on the monetary policy, so we can in the kremlin take this extremely seriously. when they see this deteriorate further, they will act more forcibly, but it's very hard to see how the european union manages to pin down russia on the sanction front to do what they want. >> indeed. a huge disparity of interests as well. joseph, great to see you. joseph dayan, head of markets at bcs prime. >>> the governor of missouri has now order

were all leninism. that was a real political constraint.f congress really hate to give up a facility that has to people. jobs in the district. they live and breathe to protect those. the technology now makes it possible. particularly since so many of these facilities have some much deferred maintenance, there really should be replaced. if you replace all of them will waste a fortune, and we can't afford to do that. coming up with a sensible consolidation plan that puts all new facilities it really makes sense. now is the perfect opportunity to plan that and to hire people with the idea that they are going to need to be flexible and where they're going to work five years from now. >> maybe ed has something to add to it from a business perspective. i was the facility representative at the southern california track on which is no small facility when the wild fires burned right of and a janitor literally save the day by turning on the sprinklers. the irrigation outside. we were there for three days, deployed to a nearby location and maintained.
