george orwell understood when he wrote "animal farm". >> we are all equal. >> orwell was writing about communism, but the principles apply to america today.a government's central planning hurts everyone a little, but rewards people with connections. >> obviouslyly "animal farm" is suspect. the animals are no better off. with with the exception of the state. >> reporter: the pigs in "animal farm" were the political leadero and over time, they prospered a the other animals' expense. their slogan at least was morels honest than what our politicians say. >> some animals with more equal♪ than others. today the animals that are more equal are washington politicians and their cronies. or people who aren't crony, butt rich enough to lobby the cronies who get close to thenies politicians. that's how in the so-called fiscal cliff budget deal, hollywood film producers got a special break. nascar got $70 million to build new race tracks. algea got 60 million. multi national corporations got a $9 billion tax break. it was disguised in convoluted language. the active financing exception to sub part

in the in the us and europe and australia as you know and industrialized countries we see that the orwell level up to the ship is leveling off so they're not coming back in big numbers but we're not depleting them any further but in the rest of the world we still see that fisheries of being depleted and overall we see that catch levels are attitude dropping despite the effort the energy we spend at fishing is getting more and more every year so something's schooling wrong here but at the same time there's huge efforts trying to fix that what is the something that's going on. well it's too many boats tracing too few fish and there's a long history of overfishing you must understand that global catches have increased for foldable last fifty years and it's something that the ecosystems that support fisheries can barely sustain and as you mentioned in your introduction the other things going on the temperatures shifting habitats of being impacted pollution is threatening marine life and all of these are compounding and really threatening the survival of the recovery of many nations of fish bu

or something that would give george orwell you know he'd be running out of the room screaming. how do we know first of all as it has that measurably improve the security of of london and secondly how do we know where to draw the lines just to start with that security issue. between you know privacy and appropriate security. i mean if you could prove to me that walking around a city like london or new york or washington i'm only photographed thirty times a day i'd actually treat that as good news in today's environment i suspect it's actually ten or a hundred times more than that and it's not just the government that's doing the photographing retailers now are using all kinds of sensing technologies to understand who's in their stores what are they looking at are they responding to advertising in the environment people are surveilling each other. you know we have all have very high resolution cameras in our pockets that we use quite often. you know we saw for instance after the boston marathon bombing that there's actually really valuable information that is captured on those ca

burma, now myanmar, where orwell once served as a colonial policeman, where he first had grown to despisecurity state, became even more orwellian than even he could have imagined. in a nation where everyone having an opinion could be dangerous. >> i am very honored to be here at this university and to be the first president of the united states of america to visit your country. >> morning in yangon, to nearly everyone's surprise, there have been some huge changes in recent months. >> difficult time in transition is when we think that success is -- -- is in sight. >> nobel prizewinning democracy champion, aung san suu kyi, after 15 years in house arrest, was released, now taking an active role in politics. just as the door is opening, my crew and i are among the first to record what has been unseen for decades for most of the world. meanwhile, this southeast asian country of 80 million is collectively holding its breath, waiting to see what's next, and will this loosening of government grip last? of course, morning in yangon has always been about tea. it's black indian-style tea, usually w

. >> other well w orwell was writ about communism.overnment central plans hurts everyone a little but rewards people. >> the animal farm prosper but the animals themselves are no better off with the exception of the pig. >> the pigs in animal farm were the political leaders and over time they prospered at the other animal's expense. >> some animals are more equal than others. today the animals that are more equal. people that aren't groenes they lobby cronies that get close to the politician. hollywood film producers got a special break. nascar got 70 million to build new racetracks. multi national corporations got 9 billion tax break. the act tive financing section to subpart f. that is how washington works. but ellis hen began is a proud progressive they make choices about who needs help. many with american tax reform says government says we should spring government so it can't make some animals more equal than others. >> you want the winners with all of the $3 trillion? >>> oo if we are going to have government we are going to have

george orwell said the quickest way to end a war is to lose it.to end this is for one side or the other to win it. unfortunately, in the months, now years now, since the president said assad should step aside, the obama administration says his position has strengthened. he's winning the war, at least he thinks he's winning the war. furthermore, our policy, the policy's dialogue is negotiations. name me a serious civil war that ended in negotiations? english civil war, american civil war, russian, spanish, chinese. none end in negotiations because they are so vicious and so fratricidal that splitting the difference at the end of the day is not possible. >> at one point when you talked about syria, the response from the administration or allies of the administration was, listen, we're getting the chemical weapons out of there. but the problem is that now they're not even getting that. syria is missing deadline after deadline of the stockpiles and the actual weapons coming out of there. even that positive is no longer a positive. >> that's because no

. >> this was orwell yan endeavor because they were caught flat footed to see an economist trying to's a little intellectual integrity on the part of an academic -- >> you know what's telling, lou? >> yeah. >> as recently in august in 2003, white house economists and independent economists allied with the administration like david cut letter of harvard were arguing this labor force participation rate would not decline as a result of obamacare because it didn't decline in the case of massachusetts in romneycare. we now learned that's not care. obamacare is different than romney care in its effect on the economy. >> we don't even have to get into the weeds on this thing. the fact is that the congressional budget office said straight forwardly, this obamacare will result in a reduction in the rate of growth and compensation. in other words, it would be much higher had there been no affordable care act and that these jobs are going to be less than they were -- >> i'm sorry, you speak to one person out there who says, this is -- this is what i want. just go to regular folks on the street,

the president had orwell's had asked the american envoy to the vatican to get what information it could out of the vatican and elsewhere. this man returned to the united states during october, met at least briefly with wells and roosevelt on october 16. there is no record of their conversation. taylor apparently left a set of documents that he had gathered in europe. on october 20, he followed up writing fdr about his efforts of what we call the holocaust out of the vatican and his inability to elicit a dinner and see a show that's not the atrocities. he said it's roosevelt spoke out he would go back to that post and try it again. so now i will shift what was roosevelt doing in late octobe october 1942 and to put it better what was roosevelt particularly concerned with at the time. october 2 21st at the president met with the rear admiral and major general george patton junior to discuss the launch of what was the code name operation torch. the invasion of french algeria and morocco. they would go from the mid-atlantic to the sea and its most important short-term goal was to capture tan

they say the opposite, this kind of george orwell, but that is exactly what's happening. >> one sortad into this would be that they are not actually trying to appeal to poor people or solve the problem of poverty and lack of mobility in american society, but they are trying to reach sort of middle-class voters who want to feel like the party that they belong to cares about the poor regardless of whether that party actually does anything to help the poor. >> yes, and i think this is a very -- on george w. bush's compassionate conservativism, which turned out to be another kind of trickle-down economics. you give tax breaks to the rich and hope that the benefits trickle down to everybody else. the problem is we now know that trickle-down economics is a cruel hoax. it's cruel because nothing trickled down. in fact, the middle class and the poor are in many cases worse off because of those tax cuts that george w. bush created. and i would's a hoax because it is, well, simply doesn't work. we know it doesn't work. >> but, okay so, secretary reich, if we are to legislate and actually get a

we were talking about this in the office, george orwell documented this and tried to look what it tooky, morgan spurlock, the documenta documentaryian, and "nickel and dimed" became an international best seller. did any of those examples speak to you, and what's been the hardest financial choice you've had to make? >> well, you hit it on the head with the word "choice." what i learned is that every day, almost every hour, one has to make choices, are you going to drive, are you going to take public transportation? how much can you spend for breakfast, if you spend too much for breakfast, what sacrifices do you have to make in terms of meals later in the day? so, literally, one has to make can choices all the time and people should never have to make these kinds of choices of basic needs in their lives. >> representative, my last question for you may be slightly harder, but is part of the point here that you think the premise being that folks will pay more attention to someone like you, a politician, living off the minimum wage than all the other folks that have to do it but don't neces

all americans may be equal, but as george orwell might put it request if he were here today, under the farm bill some americans are simply more equal than others. i will not be part of it. and i encourage my colleagues to recognize that there is another way. there is a better way, a new approach that remembers what and who we're supposed to really stand for. what we're supposed to stand for is deliberation, open debate, and transparent amendment on this this floor in this chamber. these programs should not be coupled to shield them from scrutiny and protect them from reform. if we need food stamps to fight poverty and farm subsidies to maintain our food supply, let those programs stand on their own merits or not at all. furthermore, the land out west is not going anywhere. this should be an opportunity for us to bring our people together, not turn our regions against each other and turn the right to local government into a dangerous political football. it's time to have a serious debate about a permanent solution to federally owned lands that can improve economic opportunity and mobili

a brief history of time and finally 1984 by george orwell.o cnn.com. justin bieber's bad boy image just keeps getting worse. they are almost ready to decide if he should face vand 578ism for allegedly egging a neighbor's mansion. they want bieber changed specifically with felony vandalism. then there was the jet that carried the 19-year-old and his entourage even reportedly his father from canada to new jersey for the super bowl on sunday. that plane reportedly wreaked of marijuana. the pilots said the flight attend act was harassed and it was so bad, she went into the cockpit and pilots resorted to oxygen masks to block out the smell of pot. justin bieber doesn't seem to let his troubles slow him down. look at what he did a couple of nights ago. justin bieber drinking with the big boys at the trenda atlanta spot. he has a water bottle there, but he is with serious heavy weights. some of the pictures you see like p. diddy and rick ross. they are all over the age of 21, of course. justin bieber is 19 years old. bieber is dogged by three potent
