that is the narrative.i think the discussion of the predominance of merit over object if facts is in reference or politics. right after the election the party that lost the election adopted slogan. it was this. that slogan was meant to invoke the resistance of germany during world war ii in the occupied forces of western europe. that is what it was intended to invoke. this wasn't just this program or that program. was resist and somehow there's an nobility and resistance that goes beyond normal politics. we see it occasionally in the white house and we are told the nation at large is angry and likes to be led where the people that are angry so we have is green therapy. personal catharsis. that is just an example of the domain of whim suppressing an ominous. several months ago i testified at a senate hearing that dell would propose legislation that change slightly vary slightly. i was one of a panel of witnesses several of them suggests it was racism rather than try and that accounted for the population in t

i think we're really in a phase that i like to call shooting the messenger because the narratives of the western governments in both the the so-called scruple incident at salisbury in the u.k. and the incident in duma in syria which led to illegal u.s. strikes u.s. u.k. and french strikes on syria both involve alleged use of chemical weapons with no evidence and the narratives in both cases are collapsing and this has led to me if you point that out yes if you point that out this is because the narratives are. lapsing the the the watchdogs of the regime it's the media that does stenography for them the establishment mainstream media has gone all out on ad hominem on the alternative media anyone on social media with any type of influence or following who is daring to challenge their narrative of what has happened here and they are getting the deeper they're getting personal and it is coincides across a whole host of people. across the media but also with facebook and twitter selected a lot of it is a criticism really quite sloppy is not based in fact oh it's incompetence it's incompet

or journalists in the mainstream media are the ones telling their story and selling the security narrative to the rest of us and. another way and put it another way in an op ed she wrote for the shore now but as the so-called sense of security she said is nothing more than a political and media narrative the editors say she submitted that article just hours before she was killed it was published posthumously two days later the piece was headlined. a lot of this last word. we're discussing other media stories that are on our radar this week with one of our producers flo philips flow a little more than a week ago news broke on that data analytics firm cambridge analytics mining the profiles of up to fifteen million facebook users without their consent what's the latest on. put it this way richard mark zuckerberg facebook c.e.o. has seen better days this week he's been called to testify before the u.s. congress over data privacy and protection now that after the u.s. federal trade commission the f.t.c. opened an inquiry into whether facebook engaged in what it called unfair acts but at the he

are virtually all of their narratives of the main stories that we've been covering on this program are in tatters falling apart i've never seen this kind of environment mark and we have an example here with moon of alabama which will discuss it i think at length because i think it's a marvelous piece of investigative thoughtful intellectual journalism mark yeah i think we're really in a phase that i like to call shooting the messenger because the narratives of the western governments in both the the so-called scriptural incident. barry in the u.k. and the incident in duma in syria which led to illegal u.s. strikes u.s. u.k. and french strikes on syria both involve alleged use of chemical weapons with no evidence and the narratives in both cases are collapsing and this has led the way but if you point that out yes if you point out that this is because the narratives are collapsing the the the watchdogs of the regime it's the media that does not griffey for them the establishment mainstream media has gone all out on the ad homonym on the alternative media anyone on social media with any

it's disappeared at the national narrative altogether. we don't want to think about it except the broad outline genocide of native people were ethnic cleansing that happened. we were the red states on the left and the socialist candidates for president in the early part of the 20th century received more votes than oklahoma than any other state it was a strong union state. now we are one of the most red states on the right and this happened within a century and a reflective of elements having to do with the larger culture. it's very religious, still predominantly white like other areas, very conservative and it reflects the national narrative and the natural culture so we have these natural disasters, we have the tornadoes they are infamous for and there've been several devastations and more that people know about. when that happens and there is an f5 tornado and everything is laid flat and people are suffering than it is a stall of the divisions also again the way americans do suite of the oklahoma city bombing and the federal building in

our response to the nation of immigrant narrative is really difficult to do a counter narrative to people in power. what you do is you sort of work , and createays -- from the american -- the society of american indians, who were the boarding school graduates. the early boarding school graduates who started narratives about whether we should go ahead and assimilate, or whether we should absolutely have self-determination. there is this debate going on amongst all of the different tribal people in the first place, as to what is the best way to successfully live, because we are still facing a genocide. culturally if not literally, although, in a lot of places, it is a literal genocide. i just came across the most interesting fact, this week, i was reading an article about a law that was as passed in 1865, that said there will only be four reservations allowed in the state of california. the only way you can get around that is by an act of congress. has not been known by the californian indian people who are trying to get federal recognition. they are trying to go through the department of t

to immigration narrative is reallying difficulo answer to do a counter narrative to in power and so what you you sort of work around create things from the society of american indans,who were about graduates.g school the early boarding school graduates who started narratives should go ahead and simulate or where l we haved absolutely self-determination so there is debate going on amongst all of the different tribal people to whatirst place, as is the best way to successfully we are still facing a genocide. culturally if not literally, although una lot of places, is literal genocide, and i just came across the most interesting i was readingk, an article about a law that was that saidin 1865, only be four reservations allowed in the state california. the only way you can get around that is by attack of congress. is not known by the people federaltrying to get recognition who is trying to go ofking the department interior. and the process that other and so it it always may is me when i find these new laws that only apply to california. if it is a hartive where we create our own newspapers,

i think or really in a phase that i like to call shooting the messenger because the narratives of the western governments in both the the so-called scriptural incident at solace very in the u.k. and the incident in duma in syria which led to illegal u.s. strikes u.s. u.k. and french strikes on syria both involve alleged use of chemical weapons with no evidence and the narratives in both cases are collapsing and this has led to me if you point that out yes if you point that out this is because the narratives are collapsing the the the watchdogs of the regime it's the media that does the na griffy for them the establishment mainstream media has gone all out on the ad homonym on the alternative media anyone on social media with any type of influence or following who is daring to challenge their narrative of what has happened here and they are getting the do produce they're getting personal and it coincides across a whole host of people. across of media but also with facebook and twitter selective a lot of music criticism well really quite sloppy is not based in fact oh it's incompetence

a push to get rid of the real narrative, jihadism? one thing i did report on after this is an al-qaeda media on the online news outlet. they put out an alert to be jihadis. if you are going to launch an attack don't do it on a minority group. because piggybacking off this attack they thought americans will only take blame themselves if it's a hate crime. so make sure if you are to launch an attack it's in the name of jihad and only against white americans so they know this was purely jihad. they want the credit. they want it to be branded. we allowed them in this situation for two years to get away with a false narrative. >> katie: we are running out of time. but just re-going over the case it seems like looking at all the facts when the warning signs were ignored about jihadism by a number of law enforcement agencies, i know as you mention with the narrative for years on end being about a hate crime rather than addressing the real issue and trying to prevent it in the future. final word? >> absolutely. the false, you know, kind of th

yet narrow view to shut out or discredit any type of narrative. now that we have almost like extracted this was a hate crime. why was this -- why was it a push to get rid of the real narrative jihadism. the one thing i reportod after this was -- al-quaeda media -- on the online news out let they put out an alert want to to be jihadi telling them if you are going to launch an attack medicare sure that you don't do it on a minority group. piggybacking off of this attack they thought americans will only take the blame themselves if it is a hate crime. if you are to launch an attack that it is in the nature of jihad and against white americans so they then and there was jihad theyment the credit and branded and we allowed this emin the situation for two years to get away with a false narrative. >> y woor running out of time but just regoing over this case looking at facts by a number of law enforcement agencies we are now as you mentioned with the narrative for years being about a hate crime. and trying to prevent it in the future. >> i think the fals

so much they are complicating the narrative, adding more narrative to the next.hose witness to the witnesses. i guess i want to pick up on hopefully something that i think was apparent in each of the conversations, each of the presentations, but invites panelists to think across the responses and maybe do it in a way that doesn't quite make sense which is to-- thai alluded to i guess something that came up at the end of the previous panel, which is that these he has conduct which is to say a desire to escape. what seems to me like we are part of a long history where we want more representation of black and brown folks. the question in andrew's presentation of a narrative that put women at the center, lgbtq focus at the center we are familiar with the story, but it seems like that enthusiasm for condo was more about something than representation, that in fact it said something-- the joy about the movie seem to me to say something about how dark the present moment is and it seems-- and yet at the same time we know that the long history of racialized violence sugges

it was a victory narrative. the victory was not just the south's victory, it was the nation's victory over this awful experiment in racial equality and racial democracy. i am simplifying it that, but that is what happens in deep mythologies. stories get simplified. it does not mean the union victory narrative, where i called in the book, the emancipation nest -- narrative.nist it did not die at all. this cultural struggle over a memory of this defensive event, it is still high multiple voices down into the 20th century, and a new generation would pick it up with dubois and others in the 20th century. but this is the most divisive event in american history. that how do you put a nation back together? how do you heal? you have got to find some kind of unifying narrative. unfortunately, the tragedy of america's struggle over civil war memory is our unifying narrative became the narrative of white supremacy. it became a narrative that wrote black people almost out of the story. it certainly wrote the achievements of

it's how do we shift our narrative from things to people? >> hello. >> that requires a cultural literacy, an emotional intelligence and it requires a space and time to do that. so a lot of what writing does for me and a lot of what the movement does for people is it tells them to reclaim their time, that when you're spending a lot of time worrying about how you're going to survive, it's how do you interrogate, how did i get in a position where i only worry about surviving? how do i get in a position where i'm able to actively live, and writing is a way for me to do that. actively reclaiming the narratives that have been separated from me to look at stories and go, oh, these stories are the same. they're parallels. we might not meet in the immediate way, through these stories. i've never met king or a lot of these people before i got on this stage, but when you read these narratives you see touch tones and you're like, oh, this is connected. and i think that the last point when i went to the museum yesterday, the thing that stuck out to me mo

so he wrote the narrative to refute those claims, so he had to travel all through europe. great britain. susan: ireland as well? mr. mcclarin: ireland and scotland, yes. susan: so what set him on the path of his compliments of education. mr. mcclarin: yes. susan: and how did he get education as a slave child? mr. mcclarin: he would obtain education through his slave mistress, and she took a liking to young fred. what we find was when she was teaching him the letters... -- theaisle for alphabet, her husband got hold of the teachings of young fred and pretty much stopped the early forms of teaching. but he realized that it was a transformative moment in his life, realizing that knowledge is power. that set him on his quest of the, his own master as well as becoming literate. intellectual.ding susan: so he not only was self educated, but he took it up on his health, very dangerously, i would imagine, to educate other slaves. i am sure that was a great threat to slave owners. how did that all layout? kamal maclarin: absolutely. under the institution of slavery, he pretty much

. >> compressed, ironically inverted miniature of the national narrative unfolding in a matter of days, weeks and months, sometimes our rather than decades as with the rest of the country and that is why it's so intensified here, so it's the land that gave birth to 20th century premier athletes, jim thorpe. its definitive white workingman hero woody guthrie. one of its most celebrated black novelists and its deadliest, but also race riots within a few dozen years in a hundred miles of each other. >> we begin with author carlos hill on the history of lynching in america until the response of african-americans evolved over time. >> portions of this program contains images that some viewers may find offensive. >> the hints-- history of lynching began with history of america. of the term lynching actually comes from an american revolution colonel lynch and during the revolutionary period colonel lynch was famous for beating out punishment on suspected british tourists. if you were suspected, colonel lynch as well as the men under his charge would summarily par and feather you and so the te

so the more you come to grips with that is there a slave narrative? and what does that mean in terms of global healing? what is the connection? i feel like i am rambling a little but that is able to investigate our trauma and in literature and poetry what i do hope we do get a chance to talk about is then who witnesses the witness? i feel vulnerable on the edge of madness. can you witness? i am not lgbt but i die when i witness the atrocities that are happening my kids have not been in a school shooting but i think of those babies in the schools, i die. how many times can i do that? as a human being? and as a writer and who was a witness to my trauma? and as a writing community, how do we nurture each other through the stories that are absolutely necessary? i think if we are a lucky and heal the way that we can just might be the most important time in human history. right now because the potential to see past her own stories is huge if we can do that. [applause] >> the funny thing is that you said thesese i random moments tt end up working perfectly s

if that narrative proves to be either falsified or simply inaccurate don't you think that this u.k. after its two. martial european countries around it don't you think that it made backfire against london nobody likes to looks tippett ok so let's put the hypothetical to the side for the moment the fact of matter is i'm not a chemical weapons expert and i'm not a neurobiologist so i don't actually understand how these neuro agents work or what the pathologist would unfold if you were exposed to them and then were to recover later if that's even a possibility that's all beyond my knowledge base all i can say is that from a diplomatic level the story that the british have told is a story that has resonated quite clearly in the council of europe and has generated quite a bit of solidarity in terms of european and united states response to what the british have explained they believe in most europeans and americans have accepted it is a russian action on british territory now now the technical side of this aside that solidarity is real now if if this story were to fall apart in some way

rachel, i want to begin with you and tell us how quickly we switched from one narrative to the otherith such velocity. why are we doing this? >> we enter the last couple of years with a very positive macro backdrop. the first quarter tends to get quite distracted by disappointments on data, and the say, there isple a lot of uncertainty. guess what? there is uncertainty over time. i don't think we feel the uncertainty right now. is it materially more worrisome? yes. geopolitical pressures are real. it is not just the middle east, it is china, it is russia. all of these have the potential to become something bigger. frequently the market can get through geopolitical things like that. there is a mix of narratives, one is the healthy global economy, the healthy local backdrop, low defaults, but the volatility around geopolitical has put some foxes in the hen house, if you will. jonathan: is the equities side of the story obsessed over these narratives over the last couple of months. we have not seen this story grip credit in the same way we have seen as equity. >> that is absolutely true

jonathan: it is the equities side of the story obsessed over these narratives.e have not seen this story grip credit in the same way we have seen as equity. >> that is absolutely true, the impact you have seen is those risk-off, risk-on environments, which tend to be more frequent than they were in the past. that will be the case as we go forward. with regard to the global risks, the geopolitical risks, as they simmer, depending whether or not that simmer turns to a boil will determine how fixed income is impacted. certainly treasuries benefiting from spiked equality and similar to the equity markets, the long-term impact of corporate credit. jonathan: just to bring you into the conversation, someone said to me earlier in this week 16 income -- week fixed income investors, a few tweets shaped by washington, d.c. is not the way to go. >> no. the markets need to remember we survived bill clinton's scandals. we survived the bush wars, both one and two. we survived some of obama's policies that might not have been as business friendly. themedium has changed with twe

attempts to domesticate him in such a way that he falls neatly into an american exceptionalism narrative which is just not true do you want me to go that little bit further deep dive and study dr king. well when i was in college i remembers twenty five years ago and i believe it was the twenty fifth anniversary of dr king's assassination and i remember hearing reverend jesse jackson on the radio and he said you know we think of king like he was a big civil rights teddy bear but this guy was radical and i remember being so struck by that because he's so that image of king is the civil rights teddy bear so perfectly capsulated this kind of superficial sentimentalized sterilised version of king that we've been given and mass media and so i began to delve into the speeches sermons and writings and i was inspired by vincent harding and you know dr harding said that part of the problem with public memory of king is that we freeze him on the steps of the lincoln memorial in one thousand sixty three giving the i have a dream speech and we almost completely ignore the last five years of king's li

by this attack it's all you know somebody was shouting there's been a chemical attack that's the narrative has been shifting there was a british former general in fact i'm on sky news i believe and when he went against the flow when he went to the end went against the what the media has been trumpeting for the past several weeks while he was rudely cut off possible motive might trigger syria launched a chemical attack this time and place. the syrians winning and then suddenly you go ok i'm done so i'm very sorry if in the very place of waiting for us that we don't need to give it their very sorry thank you very much indeed. more than that all these people who are visiting the place or you know who have an alternative opinion as to what happened the one that goes against the mainstream narrative they face a backlash but there's a more and more voices among them nevertheless the united states backed by britain and france they had enough proof in the few videos that we saw and chose to strike in syria hours before the c.w. investigators were due to arrive. or it was the organization for the p

agents by the by most of the kind of narrative that we're thinking about today in terms of the color blindness post racialism a lot of that was leveraged against people like martin luther king jr and so today we're fifty years after from his assassination a lot of cases. we had this kind of idealism romanticized idea of who he was because that's a really more comfortable way of remembering him and sometimes we call it whitewashed or we call it a more easy kind of learning right so the hard to learn that this person who was given a nobel peace prize was someone that was also hated and that had his home bombed after he had his first child right that's not a really good narrative about america but it is the truth and it is the real history behind him of his legacy reverend i'm just thinking about you looking at another pastor another pasta he was a radical and then seeing the way that he's with men but today i think we'll see little. well i think the path of our challenge with dr king is that king is very much like jesus in the sense of one of the most written about creatures in human h

anyone on social media with any type of influence or following who is daring to challenge their narrative of what has happened here and they are getting the do produce they're getting personal and it is coincides across a whole host of people. across the media but also with facebook and twitter selective a lot of music criticism really quite sloppy is not based in fact oh it's incompetence it's incompetence i think we should let you leverage a little bit for our viewers on which particular narrative cycle webster well. the russian drones have fallen one of the boys who was on the wii dual tour you know. well i mean he was on the video that was shown on the wall and like people sprinkling each other with a war cry and chemical attack chemical attack well the boy didn't know anything about the chemical attack he was dragged by other people who promised him food was dragged into the course but though he was sprinkled with water he's quite alive you know despite the fact that you know the western media can say that these critical going to die crisis actor that able to write that with the scre

the narrative on the foster care is absent on the left. it's voyeuristic and it's largely absent in appalachia. there's a book called another suitcase. i think the author is still living so that's all i'm going to say. but the only book that touches on this in appalachian environments. there are very good books, there's one called turning stones and one called random family by adrian leblanc that evokes new york city and that's where you find the narratives that are driving foster care, public care reform and adoption but when you look at it in appalachia and i wanted to comment on something stephen said about foraging for food andthings like this . one of the stories in here is a place called cattle ranch, that's the nickname the social workers get it. i don't think the lady who runs it know she's got a nickname. this woman only takes in teenagers. there's something called permanent placement in foster care. it's an acknowledgment that the child is no longer cute enough to get adopted in a nutshell. when you turn 12, the next best thing y

tell us about the relationship with these sorts of narratives, bias, misleading, misperceived and that environmental seizure? >> can we have the screen put down? great, if we could do that. >> can you talk louder, please. >> sure, sure, i would be happy to. >> okay. >> sure. when people ask me, what is this book about, i said it's how daniel boone became hill billy. it's how the people from the southern mountains kind of slid down a culture radiance, in effect, people who life close to environments very often administrative authority called them savages even though it's the way that most people have lived over the last 10,000 years. in fact, agrerions are the largest class in history. it's easy for us to forget that and forget in fact, how to talk about them and how they actually lived. so an image like this, i could have showed you daniel boone with all of the people behind them, the picture, painting by thomas. instead, kind to have best image, documentary image that i could find depicting these poor white folks, they are poor but sufficient. so the remarkable thing is 50 years, excu

it is the equities side of the story obsessed over these narratives.e have not seen this story grip credit, grip sovereigns in the same way we have inequity? >> that is absolutely true. the impact you have seen is those risk-off, risk-on environments, which tend to be a little bit more frequent than a heaven in the past? . and i think that will continue to be the case as we go for. with regard to the global risks, the geopolitical risks, as they simmer, depending whether or not that simmer turns to a boil will determine how fixed income is impacted. certainly treasuries benefiting from a fight to credit, while equality and similar to the equity markets, the long-term impact of corporate credit. jonathan: yeah. and, matt, just to bring you into the conversation. someone said to me earlier in the week fixed income investors, , a few tweets shaped by washington, d.c. is not the way to go, is it? match: no, not at all. i think the markets have to remember, we survived bill clinton's scandals, we survived the bush wars, both one and two. we survived preside

of western narrative about two and there we already see seen that in the western paper suggesting that some of the witnesses have been under pressure from their side government anyway so it's going to have to take a very short break now but we'll be back in just a few moments stay tuned. anything that iraq free trade interrupts trade and i think interim freedom is a reversion back to meall feudalism and we see that happening right down to the states and presumably you're accountable as well as concentrate your for your hands grabbing a river of the risk of meal two dollars on the horizon krypto is the else in my view and it is an asset class and it is gobbling up market share and the u.s. dollar is doing. also the money is still. welcome back to worlds apart with untold wealth can their former u.n. chemical weapons expert in iraq doctor the syrian file is obviously not the only one that the b c w is wrestling with this script all cases still going through the motions at the organization in terms of the procedural options open to them. is it looking better for russia or the u.k. at this

this quickk about switch from one narrative to another. why are we doing this?achel: we entered the last couple of years with a very positive backdrop. the first quarter tends to get quite distracted by disappointments on data. is a lot ofhere uncertainty, but there is uncertainty all the time. you're never going to know what happens next and i don't think we feel that uncertainty right now is more worrisome than recently. aregeopolitical pressures real and there are a couple of spots that are particularly focused. it is not only the middle east, it is china and russia and all of these have the potential to become something bigger. the margaret can frequently get through geopolitical things like that. narratives, but the volatility around some of is thepolitical tensions fox in the henhouse. of then: the equity side story has been upset over these narratives the last couple of months. credits greaten sufferings of the same way as we have in equities. >> that is absolutely true. is thoset we have seen risk off, risk on environments which tend to be more frequent

nothing in there they had hope today see that would move the narrative about russia collusion.re was no there, there, what you saw this week was the frustration bog born out by the press, where are the goods. howie: postpartum depression. this stuff leaks in an hour, ap and others, in another memo comey told trump that he was briefing him on sexual allegations because the media cnn in particular telling us they were about to run with it but needed a news hook, your thoughts? >> there was nothing in the memos, the fact that there was nothing in the memos is the most important thing, they were selectively leaked to launch a special counsel. nothing to justify a special counsel is huge news actually. even the first memo where he explains why he briefed him only on the solicitous part of the dossier and said because cnn was looking for a hook to justify writing about it, the hook, if you remember, that story that got everything going was the comey had briefed donald trump. he says -- he says he's telling him about this because cnn is about to do this and that they're going to keep

it'sjust coming out with a coherent counter narrative.sion, they blamed terrorists, the us, ukraine, they said it was suicide at one point, any story they can to muddy the water and create confusion. it is probably working in their domestic audience. you almost have to admire the chutzpah of the russians at the moment and their discipline in sticking to this narrative even in the face of evidence of evidence clearly compelling for other governments. they accused written of playing with fire and said you will be "sorry". they brought in tony blair and question our intelligence as a nation on past matters which is going to be the conspiracy theories. he really got into his stride at the un. a markedly different tone from oui’ un. a markedly different tone from our permanent representative. indeed, there was a reference to midsummer murders which said there are 100 different ways of killing someone are 100 different ways of killing someone which is a slightly sinister remark from the russian ambassador. there has been so much confusion about

obvious and a deputation of there is a nightly narrative the occupation narrative by the white house by the american president it is. an attempt to say that there is one narrative which is that i designed this and other men and other narrative which is wrong which is the palestinian we are here we are indigenous more than five hundred villages little demolition. people who were displaced and people who were killed this is catastrophe humanitarian political heritage historical and national that's why more and more youth are taking part in these annual march and i am proud of this generation and i was just in gaza last week this is taking place against the backdrop of the weeks of protests that we've seen there with hundreds of people injured by live fire shot from the israeli side of the fence into gaza i mean how does that feed into how people inside israel palestine is inside israel feeling today maybe i should be telecasting for it is an except exception that in the last month this is the first time for us the unions are demonstrating with less than an flank without being stipend o

you have one case competing narrative tradition. but decidedly for the black community, telling the story of lynching was about giving hope to the community, future generations, to resist white v. as long as the story focused exclusively on terror. as long as the focus on dehumanized black bodies, that's story wasn't a story that would create a usable path for black people, for black empowerment. what i wanted to share is the black experience of lynching changed over time, how african-americans understood the lynching changed over time, given the circumstances of the times. at one moment it's really important for the naacp to highlight black people as the dems then community. and so this match were confiscated story, to my eye, had not been told. so i wanted to tell the story as best as i could in one place. >> next, author rc davis talks about the influence of indigenous latin american cultures on the development of north america. >> the oklahoma contemporary arts center. the wonderful place in oklahoma city. the home of the oklaho
