revelations and if so we're in for a major change right for rick falk avenge founder of the swedish pirate party thanks very much for your insight more still to come here on r t stay with us after the short break. i love life but there is a lot of sick stuff going on on this planet for example according to bloomberg a hospital in chicago has been accused by the f.b.i. of cutting the throats of patients for big bags of cash a tracheotomy is a procedure to get air directly into the windpipe of someone who can't breathe by cutting a hole into it an f.b.i. affidavit based on tape recording says that the hospital knowingly and purposely sedated patients to the point that they couldn't breathe properly and would need tracheotomy and as you know in the u.s. health care system nothing comes cheap trick out of his own days cost about one hundred sixty thousand dollars a pop this alleged conspiracy between doctors and management is not the first of its kind at this hospital an administrator and five doctors have already been charged for medicare fraud for giving and receiving kickbacks not only is having

has spoken to rick band who is the founder of the swedish pirate party which is actually linked to the group wiki leaks now he believes that the u.s. is diverting attention from snowden's revelation by focusing on snowden and attacking us character. when you look at how us politicians are reacting to this both of the executive and legislative branches they are reacting by the book they are not talking one bit about the subject matter the u.s. has been caught doing but we're breaching the world's trust frankly but instead trying to divert all attention onto edward snowden as a person on his cloak and dagger game and what a fascinating game it is where is he where do where did he go did he check not chicken is still at the airport has anybody seen him at all is very fascinating game it's very media friendly and therefore it works to divert attention but that's not what i think we should be doing what we should be concerned about is the fact that for example glenn greenwald the journalist the guardian who has been publishing the story i mean people are starting to call out him as a crimin
