u. s. personnel. let me remind you that for several years the very same you must intelligence community and leadership as well as the u. s. media have claimed that star spangled diplomats are being tortured, having hallucinations, and nurture the intelligence services of the axis of evil countries. primarily russia were allegedly behind it. i want to sandra was 1st reported at the u. s. embassy in cuba, back in 2016. the term has been used by the us government to describe a constellation of physical symptoms including ringing in the ears, headache, nausea, and a shoot discomfort. they also did see over the syndrome the origin has set off. widespread speculation in the us with some officials characterizing it a targeted attack on us personnel. human ex was in 2017, said the so called acoustic attacks could have been actually chirping crickets or other insects as discuss it live now with raymond mcgovern, former c i a of is a raymond, thanks a lot for joining us here today. now us, until this is, as we just

u. s. personnel. let me remind you that for several years the very same us intelligence community and leadership as well as the u. s. media has claimed that star spangled diplomats are being tortured. having hallucinations and nurture, the intelligence services of the axis of evil countries, primarily russia, were allegedly behind it. how long that syndrome was 1st supported of the u. s. embassy in cuba, back in 2016. that service is one of the us government to describe a constellation of physical symptoms including bringing the is headache, nausea and discomfort. there are certain z over the syndrome. the origin has set off widespread speculation in the us with some official, characterizing it as a targeted attack on us personnel, schuman, i was experts in 2017, said the so called to stick attacks could have been actually chirping crickets or other insects. but despite but u. s. media, alice hyped up his theory about suppose russian links that the u. s. is now admitted to we're disprove them. they have b

u. s. government, let's bring it further in washington dc. here. joe biden has come up with a statement, addressing the public essentially saying nothing to see here, move along, your money is safe. but then you know, when people, when often questions, i mean, the guy legged it out the back door just now. i mean, is it possible the biden, in some way is trying to avoid what could be a dire truth or yeah, i mean, i think he just doesn't have a clue, right? i mean, what you and i was just laughing at the side of that door. it's just a poorly read all you don't get any answers for it. i don't think anyone really knows what's going on. and really big suspended stocks on a lot of small cap banks. i mean, be behind 250000000000 sounds like a lot of money. and of course it is a huge amount of money. but for us institutions is actually quite a small top 50 bytes where they have so many bank. so really, i think they just, they just don't really have a clue what's going on. and, and he's been asked to read this to reassure the market. bear in mind the us or

let's say if something happens, what happens the u. s. high interest rates as we've covered a lot on the program. and that obviously makes the debt that they're holding on their balance sheet, which was a lot of it was in us government bonds was less. so this is a really key point. you talk about the interest rates are the key and critical point. yeah. yeah. so as those interest rates rocketed that the debt that they have, they have lent to the u. s. government becomes less. right. so that left this bank with a deficit on their balance sheet of about a $1000000000.00. now, once that happened, the bank bid exactly what the guidelines say. i would say the ceo acts the same way . he said, well, i need to go and raise that $1000000000.00 now to make sure that my bank is in the block now will happen when he did that, that spooked a huge amount of people. a lot of money in the bank companies, mainly who then there was a what, what we could run on the bank. so about $13000000000.00 which was withdrawn from the bank really. and at that point the

u. s. apologize, let's get to the bottom line. ah, was strong support from the american public and both political parties. the u. s. government launched a massive invasion of iraq in 2003. it removed its president at the time saddam hussein and occupy the country directly for years. the official reasons were that iraq was stockpiling weapons of mass destruction and was supporting al qaeda which had carried out the attacks of $911.00 on american soil. both of these accusations quickly turned out to be really false and the you and called the invasion illegal under international law. the iraqi people launched a resistance to the occupation and also fought each other in a bloody civil war. hundreds of thousands of iraqis had been killed since then. along with more than 4500 american troops and thousands of military contractors, millions of iraqis have either fled the country as refugees, or had been displaced inside their own country. now, 20 years later, the u. s. military is still there with a few 1000 soldiers, but was it all a hist

u. s. elections. let's get off this. well that's all be clearly because, you know, i read them all are aboard. i've done a lot of work on it and it showed there wasn't any, i mean there were a few troll social media. i mean, this was to do with structural changes in the american demographic. trump, i mean, i believe trump is a rush age. it's notion yet, social media and propaganda are being used used every single day. and it's an instrument of policy that the russians have been very, very effective at using. and you cannot deny that, you know, believe trauma, russian agents do you or the steel report. i think i think he was a useful idiot. and if you read them on a report carefully, and the 3rd part, muller laid out more than enough grounds for convention. please explain to me how old. thereupon he want a piece of real estate in palm beach from trump value to $20000000.00 for which he paid a $100000000.00. i think trump was viewed, as i said, a useful idiot was he conspiring with russian know what they saw, that they cou

u . s. isn't letting its partners out of this situation. so it's putting pressure on nato much more. i think it's putting pressure on russia. well, you know, it's a very interesting point, georgina, and i've always said that nato was never, never designed actually, to fight a war like disappear power. ok, it was a, i'm in georgia, i read older. it was always kind of it a bit of a dinner club. ok. it wasn't designed to do to actually be a military. and in a, in a conventional sense, it was more political and, and this is what they faced georgia. let's talk about the issue of d i d notification because that's the the 2nd prong that is have been never really been discussed much in the west. they just think it's frivolous. but you and i know exactly what that means. the recipe regime change. you cannot have the current regime still in power. ok, and that is something that i'm on the west is going to have to contend with. and certainly mr. zalinski is going to have to contend with. because we all know that anyone in ukraine, in power make some kind of concession, large concessions number

u. s over that and let's turn to another struggling bank. moving over to europe. now, credit suisse in a short move the swift government, arranging a hasty take over by competitor u b. s. but is this a good deal? well i suppose that you asked the, is it a good deal? i dare say the credit suisse shareholders think it's a very, very bad deal. and on the u. b. s side looks like a pretty good deal. they've got lots of guarantees in place. they able to sue, have credit suisse for a pretty low price. so i would say for u. b. s shareholders, yes, it was like a very good deal. but for the credit suisse shareholders, it looks like a very bad deal. instead, a lot of the credit suisse trail that i think going be scratching the head saying wouldn't, we've been better office if they still have not gone through. it's not possible criticisms any worth about $3000000000.00 at the end of the day. it must be worth more than that to somebody anyway, so i think they're going to be saying this is a very bad deal indeed for us. okay, but i mean, looking at u b. s shareholders and yes, t

u. s. poster. now let me remind you that for several years, the very same us intelligence community and leadership as well as the u. s. media have claimed that star spangled diplomats are being tortured, having hallucinations, and nurture the intelligence services of the axis of evil countries. primarily russia were allegedly behind it. havana syndrome was fuss reported to the u. s. embassy in cuba. 2016. the term has been used by the u. s. government to describe a while, a constellation of physical symptoms including ringing in the ears, headaches, nausea, acute discomfort. but the uncertainty over the syndromes, origin, a set of widespread speculation in america with some characterizing it as a target, a type one, american personnel, a cuban experts in 2017 and said the so called a acoustic a tax could have actually been chopping crickets or other insects, but despite that, of course, western media outlets hyped up all this well. hysteria about suppose that a russian lynx, the u. s. has now admitted what

u. s. ok, so let's talk about the distant. the differences in the differences press primarily skeet, are high speed rail as people commonly think of. it generally are speeds of about a 180 to 200 miles per hour. about $300.00 to about $300.00 and a 40 kilometers per hour. ah, there the high, the, the next level down tends to be between about a $110.00 in a 150 miles an hour with a large population between a $125.00 and a 150 miles an hour. so that's about what, 200 to 250 kilometers per hour. and then you have conventional trains, the more conventional trains which will be operating at 708090 miles an hour. so you're looking at, um, a 120140 kilometers per hour. i'm in the united states, we have trains, they go up to about a 150 miles per hour at the present at the present time. so that's about 250 kilometers per hour. that's the amtrak on the northeast corridor, or we're currently building the california high speed rail system, which is going to go closer to the 180 mile per hour. i area. but we don't have them up aberration

u. s. western economic interests. let she not suspect that katy is with america to go sometime in the less was he sickle out a quote that she now barely did when the alec was still integrity care much soft power eligible need to add to olivia k equal taylor? no, no fun to solo d for a is a she thought to sort of like kind of, she lay on there for somebody to have a 840 on on me. a quote goes out for you and the bailey and i will change total number of things. okay. okay. but if you are yeah, some of these unity have a sequel anyway. seem it easy. stevie lance, if it is so it has to be calling the police and they say, oh yeah. and i think with us feel that need your money in there. yeah. it's been sorry i didn't that. that's what everybody did. democrats. yeah. new tunic color. so no bus a low, their soft power maybe can who still wanna i'm listed under do any gap at dangling janet l l e. and he received that the some of his own in get out of the godaddy. that letter mean grandma gillespie that she'll need them. that's ano

or let's say self confidence, i'd rather say an independence from u. s. influence for a long time, the saudis let the europeans and the americans handle their international relations in the way. because in 2016 when there was an assault on the saudi embassy into iran, as a reaction to the execution of a prominent shia cleric and saudi arabia, the saudis, withdrew the ambassador and, and cut the diplomatic ties. where's the rain is what we're saying? we have no problem, of course we need to talk and we want to have a diplomatic relations, of course, the saudi government consider this an offer all the provocation and they cut ties. but of course, the saudis were in a way not present at the table when many international affairs when negotiated. like, for example, the international nuclear deal between the western countries un security council powers and iran. so i think this, the saudis, with this new self confidence in the region, want to show that they are depend independent from america. and that they are making new friends or if not friends, then at lea
