The proposal the first thing thats not in the proposal is the fact that they have to collect the data so the data is already being collected they just want to process it and what they want to do is used in dance machine learning. To create responses that match the tone and so forth and basically you know stir people up thats what it looks like to me is that surprising perhaps that you know this would be posted. Above the public publicly accessible website you know f. B. O. Dot gov. Is this making things a little too obvious perhaps. No actually the government does a lot of things out in the open and you know they may have some other reasons for doing this besides you know the ones were thinking were imagining but but the fact the matter is that a lot of things are pictured out in the open so you know the federal government all governments around the world are very big and they have a lot of Public Information so as you probably know you know eighty percent of all intelligence is gathered from public sources. I mean the u. S. Has accused russia quite a lot of the past few months a year or so about using vaults and troll factories you know on social media to swing Public Opinion most of those would be of course to do with the u. S. Election the techniques though being described in this ad they do on the surface of things at least do sound a little like that i mean is that a bit of a coincidence well you know its theres no coincidence and ill tell you Something Else the bundy trial in nevada where the bundy family was on trial for basically using their own land and using land that they had rights to use. The f. B. I. At mit in that trial that they had hired one thousand trolls to go and post on different websites to try and change human sentiment you know the population sentiment about the trial so its really you know its actually used to be against the law i think that they actually change the law to make it legal for the government to do this now but its its actually very bad thing when different agencies try to manipulate Public Opinion they should they should really just focus on doing a good job and then everyone will naturally have a good opinion i mean how effective would this actually be though i mean surely most people can distinguish a bought from a real plus and would have a conversation and however good they are it would be a bit of a give away is this really an effective tool. Well you know i used to think that you what youre saying is correct but i actually i actually think most people are just stupid im sorry to say and they just dont care and theyre just looking for some entertainment or whatever someone whos just going to reinforce their own views so people theyre thinking has been just literally turned off and you know theyre not able to think for themselves and make their own choices anymore so thats its just a sad state on you know Human Affairs there are a lot of good people out there still and most of those people just look at the situation and you know they just say well what am i talking to is this some kind of a bond they have no idea where the bot comes from of course you know whether its coming from the u. S. Government the russian government the Chinese Government that they dont know all right chris thanks for your take on that today chris kitsa founder of unseen security an encrypted Internet Service thanks for your take on that today thanks for having me take care. Now president putin believes the one and only way out of the korean crisis is dialogue no matter how hard it may seem the russian leader gave his view while talking to a panel of russian journalists what i guess the if was this thing in. It seemed like a vicious unbreakable cycle the north launches Ballistic Missiles the United States and south korea respond with ever more frequent war games the north launches another Ballistic Missile or more war games but this cycle is now on pause in this competition between donald trump and kim jong un well Vladimir Putin says that theres a clear winner. Has definitely won this round hes achieved his strategic goal hes got a Nuclear Payload a long range missile that can reach any place that he sees as an enemy now he wants to come the situation hes a world grounded and intelligent politician putin was of course also asked about the upcoming president ial elections in russia he was asked what he thought about the fact that there are so many people that want to run as candidates and he said well good the more the more choice that russians will have to express themselves so long as it all happens according to russian law and that theres no outside interference so long as russians decide who their next president will be he will also remark that specific countries certain countries love to lecture the world others on how to how to vote and who to vote for yet when the tables are turned and the same countries believe that their elections are being interfered with well they become very irritated which led to me or putin says as somewhat of a two faced approach he also talked about resonant topic here in russia the drone attack in syria drone attack on the russian airbase in the in the port in titus more than a dozen drones were launched from the syrian rebel held these drones carried small bombs and a number of them or shot down by the russians a number of them land. Several detonated an impact but those that survived were examined they may have looked simple but that was largely camouflage the russian leader said because theyre incredibly sophisticated advanced from using satellite guidance to get to their destination to the bomb release mechanisms to how the electronic engineering inside them worked obviously whoever made them had outside help help from someone very experienced and Vladimir Putin says this technology could now be exploited out of syria and provoke a truly there were provoke a target play there but see it wasnt the turks we know who they are as regard the attacks themselves we have no doubt theyve been well prepared beforehand those drones were made to look makeshift but in actual fact they clearly contain high tech elements that couldnt possibly have been assembled on the ground in syria more details are expected as these drones are further examined and hopefully well hear about those behind them in the coming weeks. Of the u. S. President faces a friday deadline on whether to extend sanctions relief for iran that as part of the twenty fifteen deal trump is a vocal opponent of the Nuclear Agreement so im currently u. S. Officials are suggesting new sanctions will be imposed. I am expecting new sanctions on iran we continue to look at them weve rolled them out and i think. You can expect there will be more sanctions coming the president still strongly believes this is one of the worst deals of all time the administration is continuing to work with congress and with our allies to address those flaws and more keep you guys post as a decision on that front its made other statements come on the same day as you officials gathered in brussels to once again throw their backing behind the deal in a joint statement the blocks top diplomat school in the us the slip of the degree with the great value of the j c p a way that you can deal with iran the deal is working you want to. Protect just if you were a white support for this deal make sure that the lifting of Nuclear Related sanctions has a positive impact on trade iran is in compliance with this agreement of the only agreement which prevents us from the proliferation of Nuclear Weapons is crucial for the security of the region but also for the security of. The Iran Nuclear Deal was signed and twenty fifteen after nine years of talks six other countries included the u. S. It was seen as a major breakthrough ending and running confrontation washington now insists the deal is allowing to iran to expand its Nuclear Capabilities we discussed the story with two middle east economics. What we see at the moment we see a historic drift between the United States. And the e. U. We never ever seen such a gap such distance between the e. U. And the u. S. At least over the last thirty or forty years so what happened today in brussels was really interesting effectively every player in the e. U. Defied the verdicts of President Trump i dont think trump has any problem in particular with the deal because im not even sure hes ever read the deal but one thing is clear and trump has a problem with anything that obama has done before him and weve seen that when it came to the perils of core on Global Warming health care or or obamacare anything that obama has. Considered to be a part of obamas legacy is some things trump wants to demolish. Video has surfaced online allegedly showing a u. S. Service member taking a shot at a passing truck in afghanistan the incident was seen among a number of clips edited together which were uploaded and later deleted by an Anonymous User on this helmet camera footage shows a person firing from a military vehicle at the cab of a truck it was passing its not known whether anybody was injured so if confirmed though the action may violate military rules of engagement and how the u. S. Afghan alliance the video is believed to have been filmed last year during the isola peroration in eastern afghan province and security expert charles thinks the Bigger Picture should be considered to make a judgment on the case. Of course you have to look at what the context of this is this isnt to defend whats happened here it appears indefensible but this is a nine second clip and we have to acknowledge that we dont know what happened before this video clip and we dont know what happened afterwards and maybe conceivably for example this truck perhaps even inadvertently went through a checkpoint for example and this is one way to bring that vehicle to a halt certainly on the face of it it appears to be just a very casual disregard of the feelings and indeed the safety of people involved in countries such as afghanistan and from a technical perspective when you slow down the video here you can see that its very likely that this was a shock and it was being used and it was being used to fire up quite probably nonlethal rounds thats to say. Like rubber pellets or plastic pellets Something Like that but nonetheless extremely dangerous and extremely foolhardy to undertake it would be useless if that against taliban or isis attacking them that suggests of course that this ammunition has been loaded into this weapon specifically to target vehicles and afghans in this way and that in turn might suggest that this is far more common occurrence than this one video would suggest for propaganda purposes this is a gift to isis the taliban and so on who which say that actually americans are their oppressive conquerors and occupiers and dont have the interests of their local population at heart a response to a request u. S. Central command confirmed that investigations underway although in its early stages they said there are concerns about the video but its not representative of the professionalism of u. S. Soldiers. And theres apparently a little rift between two of the biggest organizations in the world of sports the International Olympic committee and the World Antidoping Agency a leaked emails suggest american officials were seeking waters independence from the limbic chiefs so they could even actually apply sanctions earlier Jacqueline Bouvier discussed the matter in detail with my colleague macaire. Well these emails leaked by the fancy bears Hacking Group allegedly from officials in the i. O. C. Seem to show incredibly high tensions between International OlympicCommittee Officials and wada and by extension also Richard Mclaren whose reports on alleged doping across russian sport started all this back in two thousand and sixteen of course so where is the blood coming from between these two organizations well according to the emails it looks like wada is pushing back against the i. O. C. Reportedly was one point was actually making attempts to withdraw from i. O. C. Jurisdiction mean they could both test and punish athletes that they found to be guilty of any sort of doping violations and apparently the i. O. C. Was strongly against the idea of water become becoming jury judge and executioner on that front and an email about a meeting where such a move was discussed detailed mistrust and tension aimed at i. O. C. Members now we see that according to one of the leaked emails i. O. C. Officials even accused mcclaren of lying about the level of communication between the two organizations as well is that correct yes theres another email from the i. O. C. As director general to Richard Mclaren reportedly showing that the i. O. C. Has been baffled by statements that mclaren was making to the press saying that the i. O. C. Leadership had never gotten in touch with him and according to the i. O. C. Thats one hundred percent false they claim to have reached out to him a number of times offering assistance and further cooperation with him and if that is true that those statements to the press were completely false the question becomes why would mclaren be making statements such as that if theyre not true what was the motivation behind such a lie and we talked about the i. O. C. Was talking about what they were talking about mclaren im going to assume russia comes into this somewhere yes thats one of the really interesting bits according to an email allegedly written by i. O. C. Officials in response to mclarens reports they believe that those reports had a very very specific aim lets take a listen to an ex or a further problem was created by your report seemingly being used to try and justify total burn of the complete rushed. Team from the rio games and the games when in fact the International Olympic committee and the International Sports federations are simply not of the view that a collective punishment should be or should have been imposed upon all russian athletes so there we have the i. O. C. Concluding that the mclaren reports goal was to achieve a blanket ban against the russian team and that the email goes on to say that that was something specifically that the i. O. C. Was against that they wanted to be able to go after individual athletes found to have been using doping but want to force them into a corner and put them on the path of getting the blanket bans and then also further lamented the lack of cooperation between the tour going to say sions and it really shows a pair of potentially disturbing divide between those two huge antidoping organizations such a complicated story isnt it but luckily we have an expert in the studio with us as alan moore sports radio host at moscows capital f. M. Thanks for coming in i mean one shed some more light on this convoluted story does this suggest that theres something of a rift between want and the i. O. C. To be appointed to do it is kind of like a devoid in the doping world we call the im talking business because it is big business are huge money you know you have water which overseas or suppose youre overseas or anti doping efforts in sports in the world and on the other side then youve got this new kind of Breakaway Group call i nardo who which is led by the nose by usada which the u. S. Want to doping water will be able to take over i. O. C. Actors with you know the u. S. Olympic committee they were going to take over water through the backdoor takeover in one of the emails that i was discussing earlier the i. O. C. Official allegedly cast doubt on the clearance intentions saying his reports were meant to achieve a total blanket ban on russia why would he be interested in Something Like that do you think i dont think he had any modeless or a bad intention of trying to take over like you know to rubbish russia but a lot of what he said including saying that the. There was a state sponsor one state threw in state into it or she was immediately guilty and he used that i do not wish he said well well you know its just language but language as we know is very very powerful and thats what they use to destroy russia and prevent the buying blanket by which the o. C. Themselves didnt want sent back to fight against doping by five ten years because now everyone can get away with it and you say oh well the russians are worse. Now because value has plunged thirteen point five percent off a south korean official said theyre planning to ban crypto currency trading there are great concerns regarding Virtual Currencies and the Justice Ministry is basically preparing a bill to ban crypto currency trading through exchanges the fall of bitcoin means its now dropped to its lowest level since the new year the highest value so far in twenty eighteen was reached on the seventh of january when it hit seventeen thousand dollars we spoke to economic professor take the universitys thieves he says because it was only created for speculators its perfectly designed for speculation its very very badly designed for money now once people can see the speculation to down as well as up then all this left as its used as a form of money and i dont believe it has that capability so i think the the downside is a damn sight larger than the upside there sure the concept of having a a an algorithm replacing having a trusted third party for transactions can work if the transactions going to occur at the speed we need which is something of the order of you know one hundred thousand or more Transactions Per Second so i know there are some crypto currency s. That are working in that direction there are even block chain technologies that dont use a crypto currency they use existing currencies that enable you make the transactions through the algorithm rather than through a Banking System so one of those more than one more law is going to survive but i dont think that coin is going to be the one that does. So for myself here at all for this. Show and told us hes going to be with you at about thirty five minutes for more latest updates on global headlines. I. Its being called an olympic truce after months of over the top rhetoric the two careers are talking again the first time in two years is this is a serious diplomatic opening or merely. South korea appears to welcome this is the same apply to washington. Funny appropriate no circlip remember the south of france through customs they stole deal oh well they were the kaiser report on max kaiser today were going to be covering some interesting things. Well max in the second half we have a special with jim rickards we were in new york in december as you remember during christmas we had an interview with him but we did a little extra so before i talk about bitcoin because i know that might trigger him were going to talk a little bit about gold just to remind everybody just briefly that ive gone long gold for twenty eighteen i believe were going to see a few good up years its been very boring for the past four years where its been trading in a tedious range especially if youre a big coin investor at which has been parabolic and exciting so just see now ive gone long gold and gold miners and so far theyre doing pretty well so thats fantastic this is you know i think youre going to be up really nicely versus the price of lets say oh i copper or so industrial metal or maybe you know Christmas Trees in crypto terms itll be like youre dead but you know in other terms itll be exciting well yes because it encrypts of currencies are exciting but the other thing that i think is happening is not only will the tax cuts they will benefit us but they will not benefit the budget deficit and the National Debt also you have the fact that. But you know the stock markets go into two twenty eighteen as some of the most overvalued numbers in the history of stock markets so i reckon that obviously markets can remain at more rational than anybody could remain solvent short betting against it but i think should there be a spectacular bust i think even with you know even though the fed has raised Interest Rates a little tiny bit i think theres theres little thats going to be available to combat the crash that does come if it does come in twenty eighteen or twenty nineteen and i think therefore its probably quite wise to home called thats my opinion thats why a couple of mornings or so ive picked up on was the debt you mentioned debt is rising and gold tends to him track the rise of debt you know half of the last few years has been stuck in kind of a bearish trend those compared to some other stuff but if it catches up to the debt chart you know if you overlay those two you know you could easily get to twenty four twenty five hundred on gold and that would bring it back to kind of a normalized price action versus the amount of debt in the system i agree with you there so thats like a almost one hundred percent move from here and of course silver being its crazy uncle would mean you know so over a fifty sixty seventy dollars an ounce you know that would be a big bang for the silver box for sure and im not in any doubt about that now speaking of sort of the debt economys overloaded with debt you had the bubble of japan from one thousand nine hundred eighty seven eighty eight when it started to crash eighty nine eighty nine of those capering track. And so its still you know what the stock market there are still twenty five percent below that peak in one nine hundred eighty nine so however you know what three decades law would last decades. Theyre looking forward to possibly coin actually finally boosting g. D. P. Their big queen could boost japans g. D. P. No more analysts say japans bitcoin craze could help the countrys Economic GrowthResearch Analysts at no more instinet said we estimate the wealth effect from unrealized gains on big queen trading by japanese investors since the start of twenty seventeen and estimate a potential boost to Consumer Spending of between twenty three point two billion yen and ninety six billion yen which is about two hundred six million to eight hundred fifty five million i think thats you know its something i point three point three Percentage Points they would add to g. D. P. We were the japanese are some of the biggest four extreme years in the world well this is an amazing story because they were saying real geo political impact of it going on a g. Twenty country g seven country japan actually the spending power that comes with the rise of big going in the millions of people who are buying it in japan the multi billion dollars that theyve appreciated in value is causing a genuine effect in their economy and this is going to be the year twenty eight where big going to crypto currencies have this geo political influence youve got the central bank of ghana who is allegedly were going to get more into rumor on twitter might not be real going to dig into this im reaching out to my contacts in ghana to get some people on the show to talk about this but theyre adding to their central bank only for a fact we know that all gary has three billion dollars worth of bitcoin right and thats because they have some bad guys there are a lot of the you know the online hackers and you know scam artists that sort of nigerian prince scam artists a lot of it goes through there the people of venezuela have been you know using liquid as a savior as a lifeline because their currency wanted to hyperinflationary collapse so theres four countries right there that are still in some process of getting more involved in a geo political level in into bitcoin and of course theyre going to be buying that for. There are Central Banks and the sovereign wealth funds we buying it as well plus runs and you know you get to twenty eight thousand and twenty eighteen as a reasonable price target pretty quickly so i mean these could be issues that basically negate my bet on gold because im betting that the stock markets will crash if the economy starts booming especially in japan which has been dead for so long you know could it could be a change my thesis but right now i feel like it will crash and heres some data you so. Going into the First Quarter of twenty eighteen moreover the fact that the rise and decline prices was concentrated in twenty seventeen q four could result in the wealth effect materializing in twenty eighteen q one in the First Quarter of twenty teen and if that is the case we estimate a potential boost to real g. D. P. Growth on an annualized quarter on quarter basis of up to about point three Percentage Points and on top of that i want to say the Fourth Quarter of of the u. S. G. D. P. I think december is going to show a real shocking amount of spending on durable goods and. Investment by Companies Cap ex i know for a fact that i did that because once you know they are the tax cuts came in at the end of december you know your write offs your deductibles like are way higher for a twenty seventeen if so if you could jam in as much cap ex and twenty seventeen years youre going to be able to write off far more of it than you are in twenty eighteen so i know i bought are a lot of Equipment Computers and stuff that we need for the kaiser report and our other productions so i think were going to have a surprise. And thats how much further this market rally might be able to go oh well thats an interesting analysis you know to further look at the price of gold action and what am i doing twenty eighteen ive been saying for a while that the bitcoin is ation hyper because it is ation of the Global Economy will put a dent in the machinery on wall street to suppress the price of gold as weve seen them do for a number of years and that will free up a path for gold to move higher as well no more their Analysis Shows that the japanese hold three point seven million bitcoin which would equate to about twenty eight point five billion dollars at the Exchange Rate day at that moment that they did this analysis sure well its sound money and its money that is pushing out all the junk money all the money the money world is collapsing the u. S. Dollar is in a hyperinflationary collapse against big calling and money is had its day you know they tried it in nine hundred seventy one they went off the Gold Standard effectively and we went into a period thats never been tried before of every single currency in the world referencing each other with no buttress or without any balance without any reference commodity to give that any kind of reasonable foundations and failed so the other child i see for twenty eighteen is the. Real Bitcoin Companies coming to the market and the exposure of these kind of fake hysteria a lot of people there there is kind of a dot com like crazy around it going people have no understand and theyre just throwing money at all sorts of stuff all sorts junk that they have no idea what it is one of them is c. E. O. Of soaring block chain stock sells about eight hundred seventy thousand dollars worth of the shares the head of a small Biotech Company turned krypto has made hundreds of thousands of dollars in stock sales already john or president c. E. O. And chairman of riaa block chain disclosed in a filing with a us securities and Exchange Commission that he sold thirty thousand three hundred eighty three shares at a weighted average price of twenty eight dollars and sixty one cents remember the stock of this Company Called riot blog chain it used to be a Biotech Company they soared by six hundred percent once they changed their name to block chain and their their nasdaq stock symbol to riot from like bio p. But the fact is that this company right lists three block chain investments on its website a Canadian Digital Currency Exchange called coin square a crypto currency Accounting Firm called verity and test pay which is planning to apply block same technology to telecom payments so not very Big Companies in the space and the value of his company is at two hundred seventy million in december just because he
