A. Bad cluster of people who all have certain agendas and at the center of either the kurds and all of these organizations that are just trying to find a safe place and you know its tough to start with you know who why its syrias only old its very loyal to the old so its kind of would be a thing of like so were going to stay behind to secure oil fields that dont belong to or anybody else ok yeah great but when you look at the amount of u. S. Troops you know in the middle eastern area map earlier i mean you talk and you have some problem and so theres between 6270000 u. S. Troops throughout the middle east i mean just for example unlike countries that we know saudi arabia we know you know the big ones but look at this jordan has roughly 2795000 troops supporting and supposedly the defeat of isis theres 13 of 13000 u. S. Troops and carter and theyre. Talking about expanding the base there 5000 u. S. Troops are in the United Arab Emirates the tiny Little Nation youre near to the strait of hormuz its incredible when you think about the amount of u. S. Military operations going on there the is anybody excited to have was there is there is there any real reason to be there beyond just you know the standard talking and you know the standard oh we need to stop terrorism and really really well i mean i think that is an idea but the truth is that such a large part of the world and it does in some ways because there isnt good Foreign Policy in between nations in that area there needs to be somebody to sort of be the peacemaker i just dont think its us were clearly clearly weve seen it in the end time after time with you know whether its the middle east or china that theres a certain Cultural Divide that were not willing at least our Foreign Policy wonks arent willing to understand or get to understand understand why this is a problem or why we dont get the support or why people are potatoes out as like. You know we have to learn more and understand the cultures were going into if we want to actually help them and if you dont have a desire to do that you should probably get out of that and we have to stop with the whole nation building thing or the spread of democracy by the barrel of a garden we dont even have money to take care of our 50 states we dont need 515253 no and lets not for good knowing history and starting to you know the whole thing the whole reason behind Osama Bin Laden is you know quote unquote war against the United States is because of our military presence in saudi arabia which trump just send another you know 1800 some 2000 more troops to saudi arabia in order to supposedly you know stop the threat of iran i mean its absolutely ridiculous where you live when you have all these kind of paper tigers they put in front of just a paper justifications they put it very well this is why we have to be there was why we have to be there rather than just an excuse to be there and to. Pay for a bunch of military equipment that nobody really needs thatll just end up in the hands of people who will have to spend more getting more military equipment to go and get it back from people who shouldnt have in the 1st place because we left there you know its thats the its the frankenstein syndrome we create the problem and then we feed the problem and then we have to talk about how we need to create more problems to stop the problem we were when we created wrecked absolutely ridiculous and never quite works. The 1st of the Westminster Magistrates Court on monday it was tears jeers and rejection for wiki leaks founder Julian Assange as the appeared before district judge for massa barrett search for a Case Management hearing on his potential extradition to united stage a song just barrister mark summers pleaded with the court asking for 3 months later the full extradition hearing in order to have time to properly to paris and prepare a songes defense joining us now is r. T. America correspondent there in france and who has been following this story all day thanks for joining us here guy so theres a lot of angles to this story especially with julius and his lawyer hes accusing actually the United States of attempting to kidnap and harm at the wiki. Leaks founder saying that there was a man that came into his office that were actually. Barged into his home with hoods on a little crazy but a songe actually he lost a bid to delay his perceiving so that his legal team would have more time to prepare his case but the judge says its on justified because its already a very very slow moving case now again with it being unjustified the editor of the now acting out or in chief of wiki leaks says that the ruling is anything but fair take a listen. Julian. This super power is that 10 years to prepare the case and for the last 6 months hes been sitting in prison without any access to documents legal documents. Not a computer. How on earth can that be clear thats easily answered its not 00. So as you saw there outside of the courtroom there was a handful of Julian Assange supporters including the former mayor of london who is actually on julius on his side now protesters they were coming as far as france australia all to defend the 48 year old again u. S. Authorities they accused of scamming with the former Army Intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning to break a password for a classified government computer publishing leaks detailing the u. S. Secret Drone Program about 2 weeks ago we remember seeing that video of Julian Assange where he was in the embassy and they were actually calling in saying that that you know it marked the 7 years of him being there of those arrest back in april weve had you know the likes of Pamela Anderson saying that he is you know kind of not kind of losing his mind but now he has been. But jail for 50 weeks in the u. K. Prison since may after he skipped bail by seeking asylum in the Ecuadorian Embassy in london to avoid extradition to sweden where he was wanted in connection with sex crimes allegations but again this is the extradition case that theyre now not going to give him any time to go or thats incredible so do we know where you know what state is he in i mean like i know weve heard from a lot of people have weve seen i know weve seen some footage is it really bad i mean you look well he looks well i mean they they said that he quote looks healthy and the sense that he shaved his beard that he you know was clean like he showered everything but when it came down to actually his mental state they said it was very very difficult for him to even recall what his name was when the judge actually asked you know do you know why this is happening he said reportedly not really and that hes unable to think properly he says that he cant get to any of his writings he cant Research Anything he doesnt have a computer so thats kind of where hes at at this point as far as this mental state which of bricks of impossible for someone who truly you know can prepare or before himself or his representatives to purge the firmament of julians mind has degraded this much from the incarceration remember he. The u. N. Declared that it was a form of torture what they were doing to them not only in the Ecuadorian Embassy but now also you know wonder you know what really jail today. Is this case go max so they did there said ok were not giving you the extension to properly form your case of the mercs you know were not giving you a 3 months away what happens next with the extradition right and so like the reason that its lawyer was actually calling for a 3 month extension was because he said that there with the evidence in this case it its because it would test the limits of most lawyers and saying that this case is going to set the precedent for other journalists out there who are going to be leakers and you know the United States has had since 20 time to get their case together he hasnt you know its been hard for him to get a computer his lawyer its hard for him to even reach him in prison and this isnt the 1st time weve seen a case like this we have daniel hale going on right now where his home was raided back in 2015 im sorry get 5 years ago he was just indicted this year so its kind of like a long stretch that these you know leakers were the government has but as far as whats happening next the u. S. Is seeking to bring Julian Assange to face espionage charges here is going to have a handful of Court Hearings in november in december but theyre going to have his extradition for a 5 day court ruling period in late february 2020 well lets remember Chelsea Manning is still in jail and therefore. Simply for not read. Going on the stand and repeating things she is already said in relation to this case and as we say its more and more pushing back on anybody who might tell an uncomfortable truth and lets remember the real uncomfortable truth here right now as is the Hillary Clinton predestiny emails and all about this means that they embarrass he embarrassed the wrong people right ron and it will be itll be really interesting to see because i do agree with his lawyer where this is the case thats going to probably see the. Of them most of those will ferrell and thank you so much for coming on i was a present president runs and i go right as we go to break talk watchers dont forget to let us know what you think the topics youve covered are social media and be sure to check out watching the hawks podcast which is now available on the spot by apple music and everywhere you list your favorite or not so favorite podcast coming up with unprecedented protests and uprisings taking place around the world long kong to barcelona is that at times a side a time of societal and cultural change is upon us with actors like lee camp and National Director of the movement for Peoples Party nick bradley joins us to discuss before we go check out chinese ping pong prodigy levy at just 5 years old she is serving help some pyro net to table top of our look at that.

On a. You. Know you look up. The National Human Rights Commission stating that 44000. 00 miners go missing every year one of the police quoted. The United Nations Childrens Fund has described the situation as genocide and various sources suggest that in india there are several 1000000 missing women and children.

On october 18th and lebanon a 1000000 protesters marched on the president ial palace and declared a revolution this was in response to a failing currency lack of jobs for younger generations an unfair tax is just a few of the reasons the lebanese were in the streets however the lebanese arent the only ones from barcelona to chile ecuador to hong kong haiti to london whether its to save the environment or democracy the power of protestors and the air heres a look at just a little bit of the poor protest coverage we here at r. T. Have brought to you from around the world well this is a National Edition and it says massive march of independence for the freedom of the damned and this one says violent groups spread chaos in the center of barcelona barcelona has become the appy summer of the Separation Movement and is literally on fire alfre day what weve seen today is the indigenous communities thousands and thousands of people that came from different parts of the door here to the capitol to protest even though this march and rally has been banned by the Hong Kong Police citing past incidents where marchers organized by the same group have ended with violence people have been out in full force for the better part of the afternoon 100 seafood north to more than a 1000 students of turned out for this protest today im happy i began to the admission process is due to change here in florence. Joining us now to better understand why we protest and how it can make a lot more difference than any election can is the host of the hard hit r. T. America comedy news show reacted to nightly camp and the National Director of the movement for a Peoples Party thanks for joining us i am project restart lover i was i was going to start. With this is the main thing that means. 13 major protests. And probably many more happening around the world you know hit number them from from taxes to school fees all the way up to complete in the former colonizer what youre seeing going down in haiti and things like that theyre going to ask you 1st why do you think that we are seeing this much uprising in protest at this time all around the world yeah i think its a combination of primarily 2 factors i think 1st its a global rebellion against austerity policies neoliberal capitalism and the 2nd is you know an inequality which is growing too insane levels with i think its 80 people now i believe its down to 26. 00 people owning us much as. The bottom half of the world and then the 2nd factor is the internet which has empowered people to connect and mobilize faster than ever before leaders thats what do you think would change her activism in you you know followed activism activism and protests for a very long time i havent seen this kind of thing probably just since the run up to the 2nd iraq war were to this global and even though theyre disconnected theyre not really at the end of the good. Yeah i know many of them are not disconnected it is immense inequality and i think hes right there with the internet which was a lot what allowed occupy to become maybe the 1st global protest weve ever seen quite in that in that way and now were seeing at least in the u. S. But i think in a lot of countries trying to tamp down that ability of protesters to coordinate online. But i think nick you missed the 3rd reason which is Climate Change is wrapped up in a lot of this and i know you dont care about Climate Change and never d talk about it but it is important because just because a lot of a lot of these countries the people are dealing with you know their crops are failing Food Shortages water shortages and they those just amplify criticisms that were already there. I was just leaving something creative. Believe me a little bit. Well i think its really interesting that saying the same issues that youre seeing across the world ive seen when i was recently wisconsin talking to farmers same thing yeah theyre in there this close to have started to protest in madison or washington because they see how bad it is and theyre saying the same problems everyone has that were not paying attention to the climate there were not paying attention to things Like Mental Health were not taking care of our citizens and thats one of the things i think thats makes the us the stance on protests so strange to me and i think to a lot of people especially over the last year or so last couple of years. Extension rebellion as you say it was it was this Environmental Activism it was a big thing and that was also Standing Rock but Standing Rock sort of begat a 1000000 bills to stop people from protesting to the a. C. L. U. Here in the u. S. State legislators in at least 2020 states proposed bills and 2017 that would restrict peoples right to protest ultimately about half of those sort of got stuck in. Just that like legislative development hell that they go to but a couple of them one through and theres ones that are still being pushed. How do we make sense of that why do you think also with you why is the u. S. The one playing with that you should never see her tales on speech freedom and yet were constantly allowing at how well i it is the our criminal Justice System has been captured by the ruling elite by the oligarchy and they Standing Rock scared the hell out of them as did occupy and so they basically look at those things and they say how do we make sure this never happens again so you know and there are other countries where protesters are routinely you know rested and disappeared and all that crap so its not like the horrible things dont happen in other countries but i think we have a unique situation in the level that corporations have taken over our our democracy for the you know if we ever had one and our ruling structures and so it does come down to whether people are willing to get the numbers to fight against these changes the changing of laws i think its something to works like the reason that it stands out so much here is that were the ones who are always thumping your chest saying look at. You know what you know this really rather its the sales motto never is true. You know theres an interesting angle to this layout of the ask you both both as well as that you know theres always calls the protesters or violent and want to cause damage and you know theyre disrupting everything its not a camp outside. What. They like can. Multiple instances of the investigations were a lot of the violent protesters that you see causing a lot of damage in protests around the world and here in the states are protesters all in actually have nothing to do with the movement there representing how do you recognize legitimate protesters from the protesters who are really the outside agitators either there just to cause trouble or theyre specifically for the reason to cause trouble how do we tell them its been studied pretty extensively actually theres a long scholarship on it and its actually developed a lot in the past decade and that is on the best way to produce rapid change and that is nonviolent civil disobedience Erica Chenowith is a professor who came out with a report that said that if you can no movement in the 20th century that achieves 3. 5 percent mobilization active mobilization of the citizens failed to achieve its goals and she also found that nonviolent movements were far more successful than others and so oftentimes what you see is governments infiltrating movements in an attempt to provoke movements to violence or small segments of perhaps breakaways of a movement of people not affiliated with it trying to commit that violence to give the whole movement a bad name and to justify state repression just add to that the way we look at violence the way our media tells us to look at oh they are violent protesters well immense inequality is violence painting people to water with less violent stealing their homes or foreclosure and destroying lives in violence so all those things should be called violence instead of just someones. Out of the things i was a member as they like to go back. And no one ever really talks about the story behind what happened at the baltimore which is that the police were violent and hostile to them they literally shoved them into a corner and they had no. Other choice they can even get home they can get their parents they literally have police pushing them into exactly where they were and thats the kind of violence i wish to talk about i mean time and time again in all of these countries and provoking all of these protests another theme underlying them is that governments and corporations are always responsible for the greatest violence and the greatest crimes against the people and when people respond you know i mean the whole concept of war is an organized legalized form of violence by states and yet we separate that from you know someone could someone attacking someone else on the street you know individually or c. V. S. Really important and survey is a as well so you can do. Because weve all been watching this now do you think that were at the turning point are we going to see dramatic change were going to see these are going to start making a difference are going to see governments actually changing i mean you had 25000 people show up to a rally for british were you as a massive number of people or really are these protests all around the world friends ever are or are they going to actually accomplish what theyre setting out to do you go there. Saying big question i think i think that they can i think that were empowered with organizing tools that weve never had before and i also think that in terms of the question of you know when this is going to come to the u. S. In the way that weve seen in other places i mean it hasnt puerto rico where you saw it was about a quarter of the entire territory came out against the governor just a few months ago and so i think what what has not happened here is what has happened in these other countries that has provoked massive protests and that is that there has been a build up over many years and many decades in fact of economic pressure exacerbated by Climate Change. And its reached the point where you know its kind of waiting for that last straw that breaks the camels back and when that happens that kind of triggering event that last insult whether it is in santiago chile raising the fair prices of the metro you know in a country of such tremendous inequality already in france you know it was the fuel tax and so i think were missing that trigger i got to go thank you both for coming in im sorry that we couldnt keep this conversation go longer but you know pleasure as always in the green room great work out there both both your respective groups that do so much thanks.
