Assuming. It is dead how significant a development is that what extent will i still be weakened or theyve lost the territory long ago i mean were dealing with for all intents and purposes are small bands of. Leftover bands of fighters their power their true power was was broken long ago with the end of the if its confirmed and thats a big if always because hes been dead what 5 times by now is would be a Significant Development in so far as he declared himself the colleague and this manner of his death has been. There only the legitimizing to that particular role somebody who claims to have the mandate of heaven such as it is and you know ending in such a fashion which i think was the purpose of president trumps comments the way he phrased it thered be a lot of anger directed double trouble over his. What was called his betrayal of the kurds and that wasnt very long ago high potentially beneficial might this be in the other aspect for him taking out such a high profile target well your vast majority of americans would react to this with pride and joy ok baghdadi we got bugged isiss done for fantastic the media absolutely hated because this ruins their entire narrative about being a bumbling politician whos whos messing up the syria policy whos just needs to be impeached right away thats the narrative theyve been trying to sell the American People for the past 3 years it was a terrible day for them and a really good day for trump from the standpoint of inter merican optics for the for the population of the country at large because it helped obama didnt win and to bin laden photo that went everywhere actually and now theyre saying that you have a sim very much the same situation analogous situation and yet the treatment is completely different. It was supposed to be a halloween brags it for the you count the day but the Prime Minister was forced to ask for yet another extension after months of parliamentary deadlock where the prospect of a no departure now removed the opposition parties have finally agreed to a snap general election next month. That the saga so far. Has hit its hollow we brags it deadline i mean case you havent noticed the u. K. Hasnt left the European Union again theyve called a general election instead its fair to say that for many here in britain brags it is now a joke ever since the country voted to leave the e. U. Back in 2016 the u. K. s Internet Users have been trying to console themselves through the 5 stages. Of grief denial when the brags it was all it was fast announced even the queen was confused the british people have to leave the European Union right she said the people. And then there was the time that everyone realized that adele song was about brave visit. And brags that wary journalists started talking about the most important meal of the day instead she will say that breaks it means breakfast breaks it until it breaks breakfast and you keep the breaks breakfast we will make breakfast breakfast a success. After denial that was anger best summed up by john bercow trying to keep a lid on parliamentary proceedings or did. She. Know what im doing. Oh do. I want it was time to officially trigger article 50 thats that letter telling brussels that the u. K. Really does want not divorce well the analogy is well priceless. Then there was bargaining when terrorism a made trip off the trip to brussels trying to get herself a brags it deal off to advance the own set of braggs it induced depression that was when brits started coming up with drinking games just to make things a little more exciting what we need is a bricks and drinking guy it would be so much more interesting if the whole country lined up some shots and took one every time said. Words will mention the government is still searching for the censorship. Come on us like youve been drinking going to see a little bit go on. To reason raised governments vision of a successful brags it had become this magical unattainable unicorn politics you know basically parents who promise their daughter a unicorn to reason why is presenting them a horse with an oist cream cone gluten which while over in brussels the u. K. s even ability to get a briggs it deal through parliament turned into existential i sed there is a special place in hell for those promoting braggs it without a plan said donald terse and the guest list is still being finalized according to. Those still empty and. It means the lot of. One man we can bet terse may think will make an appearance is britains new Prime Minister boris johnson. With another extension agreed with brussels and a general election on the way the u. K. Gets to stay in greggs it limbo for another few months in fact pug tree has become the norm for those of us living in these green and pleasant pastures which brings us to the final stage of grief and that is except. An american journalist claims the us is trying to steal his freedom and silence him after his recent arrest concerning that alleged attack on a woman during protests live on his way an embassy in washington in may my experiment thought his told r. T. He believes its linked to his reporting and which hes critical of u. S. Support for parents who chain. Venezuela. Why 5 months after the incident alleged in the Court Documents and this false charge did i have a team of Police Officers show up and demand entry to my house and take me to prison for 2 days without access to a lawyer i was told by someone who has very good inside knowledge of this case that a judge already rejected the warrant and i for the last 5 months have been able to walk free i have traveled in and out of the country if there had been a warrant at any point i would have already been arrested furthermore. Why didnt they notify me that there was a warrant so i could turn myself in and show up at my own arraignment because i have nothing to fear im completely innocent im not a flight risk why didnt they do that its an attempt to persecute me for the journalism that weve done at the gray zone because at the gray zone we have been at the forefront of exposing the u. S. Against venezuela of exposing one team for the covert and overt u. S. Support theyve received and for the massive corruption and now theyre trying to steal my freedom. Police said the woman in question identified the journalist from a photo shes a supporter of the venezuelan opposition not explain one thought was reporting from outside the finance when an embassy where the woman claimed she was badly beaten. I want to make it to be pushed to the 2 of them then they try to grab the passage so i start to do how do. I get. Early this year u. S. Backed opposition leaders in venezuela trying to oust president Nicolas Maduro and to washington the supporters of the opposition its had to install themselves in the countrys embassy during the tussle for control with progovernment activists the alleged assault took place next month as attorney told us more about the political persecution. They decided to arrest him right after the gray zone had republished a story that showed that. And his team were receiving funding from usa id now are those 2 things related it certainly would seem like this is some form of retaliation if you sit in a court for arraignment youll see 3040 people come up and their cases if its a simple assault allegedly. Will be whats called no paper the prosecution wont bring a case here we have a dynamic where one individual was arrested in may and now 6 months later. They are now bringing a case against Max Blumenthal on the same matter where i do believe that there are political motives i mean how else does one explain a case that you know is brought 6 months after the fact. You know what was going on in those 6 months prior why did they not bring the case then because theres not evidence this man didnt do this so here we have a journalist on this topic and others who have been critically reporting inconvenient facts about powerful people. You know both in the u. S. Government and in the u. S. Interests and you know its been reported critically on those which is a journalist is supposed to do and now hes being retaliated against and now you know this is his punishment for speaking out that is what this looks like. Well weve contacted the Prosecutors Office in washington but has not got back to us with a comment as of yet now still to come another nation facing a huge protest movement well take a look at how things are unfolding in iraq after this very short break do stay with. You know we all take a language that we speak for granted its like the air that we breathe we dont notice it and in fact most of us believe that we simply perceive reality the way that it is in fact we know many years of psychological experiments thats very far from the truth we dont see things just the way that they are instead the world that we their internal world we live and its highly constructed by the structures of our brains but also by the structures around languages and cultures tell us how to thanks to. The people who are printing the money dont rely on taxes to get wealthy theyre not part of the real economy thats a does the same thing as saying the rulers of saudi arabia rely on the wages of the People Living in saudi arabia to get rich they they dont they just print more or pump more oil so in the america the princes that run our economy just print more money they dont need the workers they dont need their taxes thats why they dont have wage growth thats why theres been that this aeration has their own media. Back huge crowds flooded central baghdad throughout the weekend calling for a radical overhaul of the countrys political system demonstrators have been blocking major roads and burning tires forcing government offices and businesses to close right. Theyve also been taking place in the country south with protesters disrupting transport networks in bad for it works government is accused of rampant corruption and fairly to restore basic Public Services adding say the anger its also launched a brutal crackdown on dissent is killing more than 250. 00 since the uprising began. To love with all of the University Students in baghdad taking part in this protest its for our countrymen most of the people here are the patriarch to. These protests are sending a message if our demands are not mad we will hold even bigger demonstrations. Lead the people decide for themselves that the people form the government at least. People are protesting and so the government should resign everyone is taking to the streets students young people the elderly when everyone is on the streets middle Eastern Affairs analyst ali risk told us more about whats driving the protests. Just fact is that you do have the words d for corruption in iraq this is something which iraq all these iraqi citizens have complained all the time and again you have to remember that theres a lot of a lot of resources you are correct its a very rich country you know. Somebody rob should be a prosperous nation if you take all new starters in mind do you know its economic strengths you already know its as i said it was just tourists trouble tourists place where many shop programs dont visit to. Iraq does indeed suffer from this problem. Was Donald Trumps former National Security adviser pushed into pleading guilty to lying to the f. B. I. In 2017 u. S. Federal prosecutors have refuted those claims but michael things new legal team claim evidence against him had been manipulated flynn had admitted to misrepresenting conversations he had had with russias u. S. Ambassador at the time and was prosecuted as part of the investigation into suppose it russian meddling. Michael flynn lied to the f. B. I. Flynn is a proven liar practice liar Michael Flynn is a liar why did the f. B. I. Was a lawyer general flynn casualty number one of the russia gates saga is calling out the f. B. I. He claims they changed the wording of his responses to their questioning and did so to arrest him we also have information that the agents did manipulate the 3 o 2 you know it was long in a quote deliberative state as they called it which is highly unusual in an homage self we have taxes exhibit 11 to our document comparison of the february 10th and february 11th 3 o 2 that show the addition of substantial additional claims that were not in there before and are not supported by the notes. The f. B. I. Uses 30 tuesday keep an official record of their interviews in flynns case the form was used by the f. B. I. To claim he lied but did he really its not so clear anymore flynns defense team just released a Court Documents suggesting something very different happened that the f. B. I. Actually significantly changed the meaning of what he actually said. The f. B. I. Wanted to know if len had ever discussed sanctions with the Russian Ambassador he said he wasnt sure he had spoken to many im basters and didnt really keep a tally although the record showed he said this. Flynn stated he did not the narrative of flynn the liar was born but that wasnt the only problem with the interview some of which were there from the get go. The f. B. I. Wanted to send agents into the white house itself to interview senior official you would work through the white House Counsel and the discussions and approvals and it would be there and i thought its early enough to send a couple guys over so who did call me send on over agent peter strock who was fired for sending messages to his f. B. I. Girlfriend funny enough its those messages that shed some light on how flynns 3 o 2 was apparently tampered with on major edits and sent them to joe i also emailed you the day 23 o 2 a live this was proven to be a lie it was a setup and there is an investigation that is going on by attorney use the f. B. I. For political purposes in order to manipulate or to target certain people like Michael Flynn by using the countries like russia and others as scapegoats as enemies of the people as as those not to be trusted all of this was set up in order to harm political opponents and these notes that were typed up later were altered in edited even so much so that the written word again was altered later it would be as if somebody say you are either normal person was questioned by Police Officers about a robbery and you say i did not commit this robbery but instead the officer writes down they committed the robbery and then you have to go before a judge and argue that your statements werent lies within the notes of the officer and thats what this case is talking about thats why this is so important. And joining us here Nancy International thomas will be here with all the latest at the top there. They put themselves on the line they did accept it or reject it. So when you want to be president. Or somehow want to. Have to do i would be the person this is what before 3 of them or 10 people that. Interested always in the waters of. Their ship. Of american men and women she was just sort of in the countrys military and the decision. Every song came to a complete. The day that i was right and. You know told to shut up or theyd kill me and i see how it destroyed my life any screamed at me and he made me come in and you graham my arm and he raped me with his birthing area if you take into account that women dont report because of the extreme retaliation and its probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the us military rape is a very very traumatizing tat happen but ive never seen trauma like ive seen from women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished and be offended and almost 10 year career or chose very invested in and i gave the sex offender who was not even put to justice or put on the registry this is simply an hour in violence male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether thats a man or women. We were told there was no such thing as the deep state now were told to adore it also arms control is done we should all be worried and concerned and why Samantha Power is a hypocrite.
