girl that i barely knew and clearly the ravens the messages being bused drawn reference to edward snowden julian. mass surveillance well the very amazing thing about the ravens is that of course they use it to communicate so they travel great distance in very short space of time but what's even more interesting is that there is the idea of the 3 i drape and which is where someone actually walked into a raven and then can surveil the whole thing in some kind of mystic. they can see the future and the past so when you talk about mass surveillance that really is the driven is is the metaphor for that i think but if climate change. nuclear weapons dragons thing was even indoors where the bulletin of comic scientists are going to . be able to figure that out but you do support extinction rebellions climate change in your logical disasters all well on your radio. one might be able to say is that the icy wall where my fiance is. is a teacher and also an environmental scientist and she i mean she educates me every day about what is our impending you know the future is coming faster and faster and

he's he's been charged in the eastern district of virginia and his his judge was also my judge and snowden's judge and jeffrey sterling's judge who reserves every national security case for herself she's a hanging judge she will not give him a fair trial it will be impossible for julian to receive a fair trial in the eastern district of virginia so i think that they're going to try to extradite him as quickly as possible with their without the european court of human rights trying to step in and delay it and they're going to try to give him as the many years as they possibly can now realistically in the event that he's found guilty of these charges a lot of those sentences are going to run concurrently and so he's probably looking in the neighborhood of of 30 years a sentence of 30 maybe 40 years with that said he'll have the median standing to appeal on the basis that the espionage act is unconstitutional the thing to many of us have contended that it's unconstitutional day but we haven't had the standing to appeal it to the supreme court and the supreme court has never ruled on this issue

in a military prison so it's really hard to understand for some people and then compared to what snowden on julian assange she was not this kind of hero my guess so when we remember until the rape charges that were made against the phone and after his dramatic arrest he was really a bit of a superstar in certain circles as the man who took on the most powerful country in the world but. chelsea manning. what was the reaction to the film there were mixed critiques but try back out so it was quite sad actually because the main protagonist couldn't even be there. in chelsea manning is currently back to prison because she is refusing once again to testify to a grand jury against wiki leaks and barry will read about it she's on the rubble but well she still sticks to her guns well it's going to be a lot of sort of attention for this film because of judy in a song being released just about it but i think salute like that krueger thanks very much. now with all the talk in recent times of looted african art here in europe that needs to be returned to its rightful owners it's nice to see museums i

anybody heard of the information that snowden and assange let out? and one more thing i have to say about opposing this -- i watched a lot of young americans die in vietnam for no reason at all. during that time, i came home and found out about the lies. just because it comes out of washington, d.c. does not make it the truth. host: let's go on to david in l.a. good morning. caller: i think it is interesting that i should follow this fellow, because i am in total agreement with him. but i would like to pose another to the reason why we get ourselves entangled in these strange, bizarre, of no benefit overseaserican people, war adventures. i would summit to your audience that it has to do with the power of lobbies. the saudi lobby and the israeli lobby. and their influence over our lawmakers. entities, like the press and whatnot come as to how they drum up stuff for that first idiot who called in and said it is inevitable that we go over to iran. them kind of people are susceptible to this type of jingoism, press manipulation, propaganda that leads us
