About what is happening in his country. Ive learned in my life that you never choose a position it finds you this applies from the position of trade union had right up to the post of president theres an official report confirming i won the 1st round this is a very extensive report you can check it and any time you can see the Election Results but there is an important point to be made there was an agreement that the organization of american states was supposed to publish their fishel report last wednesday around 2 pm that was the arrangement but unexpectedly on sunday morning they called us and informed us that the preliminary report was ready we requested this report and there was complete confusion one part of it said that i won and that carlos massa came 2nd but this did not prove that i won the election in the 1st round i ordered that i be put in touch with lewis and margaret but i was not connected the report was published on sunday morning i spoke with a representative of the organization of american states and told him there bade him if you do not double check your report it will cause unrest and believe me and there will be victims by publishing its report their organization of american states actually supported the coup who is in charge of everything now people from the us and jorge to talk with all got a follower of hugo bunsen who for 7 years will believe me as a dictator i was called an employee tarion ruler a dictator but this is not so these are real dictators on the other hand new generations will now understand what a real dictatorship is. I would say that some of the groups in whose hands are going to make power is concentrated in not forgive us for creating social movements especially if the indigenous populations movement which has changed the image of our beautiful country they also cannot forgive us for nationalizing our Natural Resources and Strategic Companies which has improved believe his Economic System upon the successful creation of a developed lithium industry mr alberto and i plan to set lithium prices on the world market i realize though that some industrialized countries are afraid to compete 1st in the field of Technological Development and seconds they do not want other countries to follow the example of our economic model which is based on socialism. This is a cluster igle im convinced of it i had faith in the armed forces because i thought that in the military there are patriots and the imperialists however certain generals on the center of the highest beer they surprised me i could not believe it i had a wonderful relationship with all the military leaders of course there are good soldiers and military leaders but when it comes to the class struggle some forget about their ideological stance and their patriotism consequently their interests are affected they lost part of their power and cannot forgive us for this has nothing to do with being indigenous or not. Or to america news anchor rick sanchez discuss the situation in bolivia appeal that surprise winning journalist chris hedges is of the belief the u. S. Has a hold in the crisis. This is the revolving door story of latin america that as soon as a populist figure like evo morales appears the knives come out on the part of the empire and on the part of those corporations that hold especially the Natural Resources in a place like bolivia hostage theres been a constant conflict between. These corporations an evo morales let me stop you there because you just said something thats very interesting there may be a reason for the United States go. The government of chris hedges and rick sanchez for the country where we live to do things from time to time in other places right but it seems like what you just described is something where no one asked chris no one asked rick no one talked to our media no one talked to our congress it just happens out of thin air we go and destabilize the government doesnt that seem crazy yeah but thats you know decades of practice of the you know the socalled invisible state was the but its how the cia operates they operate you know completely in the shadows and they operate on the b. Hast of the business interests i mean united fruit didnt want arbenz around before they got rid of them so on and on and on this goes back decades and decades and decades it of its about the maintenance of empire and thats what were seeing in bolivia where i lived in bolivia the spanish in bolivia this is the powder and now they found lithium it believed well and apparently that is a huge it is the oil of the future and guess who wanted to control it and guess who they didnt want to control it even more out exactly evil morality so even though he brought poverty down in a country where no one else that i needed to do this in was we want to control the lithium and the multinational corporations they they set the machine in motion. Choose the swedish prosecutors drop the 2010 rape investigation against wiki leaks founder Julian Assange citing a lack of evidence the case was shelved 2 years ago but was reopened forcibly dragged of the Ecuadorian Embassy in london in april that came about after the country terminated his 7 year asylum their son just currently being held in belmarsh prison in the british capital where hes serving a 15 week sentence for breaching his bail conditions and 22 will separately the australian is fighting a u. S. Extradition request over wiki leaks publishing of classified information on the american political and military dealings reporting next. For 9 years judy the songes faced uncertain future in the u. K. It all started with a sex crime charges in sweden that could have seen the wiki leaks cofounder being extradited back to the scandinavian country he himself said he would then be handed over to the u. S. For releasing classified information but sweden has now dropped the rape case against the songe after dinner issue investigation and investigative steps taken over the summer in the autumn is now clear that the oral statement testimony and support given by the injured party has weakened their source i have come to the conclusion that additional interviews with Julian Assange would not all charity evidentiary basis in a decisive manner as such i have decided not to hold an interview with him up until now sweden could have still lost the extradition now that votes no longer a threat that ironically means other than the impending hearing theres nothing standing in the way of mr saunders extradition to the u. S. That is now focused on the threat mr assange has been warning about for years to belligerent prosecution of the United States and the threat it poses to the 1st amendment the swedish sex crime allegations led to the Ecuadorian Embassy in august plenty of. Space with the drag out of april this year hes currently in prison now swedish charges have been brought all the time sometimes his extradition trial scheduled for february next year but some are concerned about whether hell get a fair hearing i think that is absolutely fair to say that politics now is coming to. An extradition proceeding it was not designed to be a political or say that politics absolutely positively should not come into play this should be treated as any other. Proceeding where the u. S. Are seeking to have someone extradited from u. K. To us or u. K. You seek it out when extradited from the u. S. Back to you. But i think its cruel ish for one to assume that politics will not come into play in this particular matter and if he is eventually sent to the u. S. He may not ever that leave with a potential of 175 year sentence if hes found guilty of the 18 counts the u. S. Has charged him with. Im. Im. But i think. The pursuit of duty in the sand is that the fear is about how whistleblowers are treated by washington although not every whistleblower is treated the same not if theyre protected by the cia whistleblowers should be protected protecting whistleblowers who see wrong doing of any kind and that government is a sham is basically on the verge of not only revealing the identity or getting somebody else to reveal the identity of the whistleblower but also bringing harm to that person everythings politically motivated that of the trumpet ministration as absolutely no credibility and no principles whatsoever when it comes to these flights. Whistleblowers should be protected whistleblowers should be lauded their heroes whistleblowers do this sort of thing not for personal gain not for their ego they do it for the public good and its proof to me that donald trump doesnt care about the public good he cares about self and no one else. Or became a supporter of british rock musician roger waters was quite cutting about the whole situation telling the entire extradition case has nothing to do with the legal process. But somebody banged up in belmarsh for 23 ounce out of every 24 being slowly by the State College she told on. Comfortable truths about crimes committed by the highest states of america. Its purely purely political this is a political prisoner hes be hung out to dry as a warning to others others who might decide that they might be journalists that they might fulfill that function is journalists by informing the public and the electorate of what goes on secretly in their name so this business objects tradition has nothing to do with the legal process.

In the world corrupted you need to descend. So join us in the. Forum made in the shallows. A quarter of an hour into the Program Welcome back the u. S. Secretary of state mike pompei or announced on monday that washington will end sanctions waivers on Irans Nuclear facility a key component of the landmark atomic deal it comes after to round said it had resumed the process of uranium enrichment at the plant but pay also reiterated his support for the ongoing protests in iran which the country hypocritical. The iranian people will enjoy a Better Future when their government begins to respect basic human rights abandon its revolutionary. Posture and its destabilizing Foreign Policy in the region and behave simply like a normal nation. If you strange the United States and its officials who have committed the greatest of crimes by imposing maximum pressure and the tougher sanctions on iran are communicating to the iranian people that they support these protests we do not expect anything else from mr pompei or he discreetly defends the maximum pressure regime and imposition of sanctions on iran. The rest broke out after a surprise 50 percent hike in fuel prices or earlier this month the iranian government said the revenue would be used to help the less well off but unger boiled over in at least a dozen cities with buildings vandalized and pictures of irans Supreme Leader burned he described the rioting as. Protesters. The trumpet ministration seems jubilant about the recent protests in iran said the people of iran almost a year and a half ago the United States is with you now the protests are being driven by the Economic Situation g. D. P. Growth projections are down by 9. 5 Percent Inflation is it 40 percent and unemployment is at 16 percent and rising but it was a 50 percent increase in the price of fuel that sparked the recent turmoil. Now an economic squeeze like that is bound to get people upset but why is iran in such poor shape well donald trump has a lot to do with it in 2015 the International Community agreed to lift a decades old sanctions in response to an agreement that was reached about irans Peaceful NuclearEnergy Program but then along came donald trump he decided to pull out of the Nuclear Agreement he says that iran broke the spirit of the deal however International Observers say that iran fully complied as of today i can state that iran is implementing its. Commitments after pulling out of the deal the Trump Administration began imposing sanctions on iran intended to wreck their economy accusing iran of quote destabilizing activities around the region the usa even threaten to impose sanctions on other countries that dared to buy iranian oil anyone doing business with iran will not be doing business with the United States im asking for world peace nothing less. Weare ready to impose sanctions on any activity subject theres directions after the Iran Nuclear Deal in 2015 iran was exporting roughly 2500000. 00 barrels of oil per day now that number is down to roughly 200000 in a country where the economy is centered around state run oil exports thats a pretty big financial loss and it has been detrimental cuts in fuel subsidies and other benefits for the population had to be made so i dont know top iranian officials have sat down and made a decision for the country based on expert assessments this decision must be executed. But according to donald trump working to economically ruin iran makes him the best friend of the iranian people nothing says i love you like bleeding someone dry as cool nations to support irans people as they struggle to reclaim. Their religious and rights is just today i want to deliver a message to the long suffering people of iran. The people of america stand with you will be arrayed in people return to the nations proud roots as a center of civilization culture and wealth where their people can be happy and prosperous once again the United States throughout the reigning in history has always been against democracy i mean the United States was the country together with britain that instigated the 1953 who were against democratically elected mohammad mossad there right now its no different i mean the United States has imposed very severe sanctions on iran which is worth a lot of ordinary people so coming out and saying that they support these people is hypocritical.

Cruz made a rookie ara and forgot that he too had been involved in the story that also rippled far and wide to show you senator and thank you for keeping it clean you know without tracing out more so lets see what all the conspiracy theories on the table are the program on which i happened hardball tried to cover up its tracks and said it was just the presenter scraping his mug across the table to which swalwell took a leaf out of trumps book and breathed a sigh of relief but lets test that one out neal over to you. Not sure so maybe another one the cameraman was to blame they were ways think theyre safe just because theyre in the shot but guys is that even possible no. No i thought of the theories held up to scrutiny though view was smelt a rat pluto was demoted as a planet but terry swallow is now secure among the gas giants.

Faces and not the string of pranks it delays the media follows its very funny excellent nose for stories lets see when this one runs out of gas ok thought this is ridiculous i mean are you know you can talk about this seriously and. No more money than ever before is being spent on our pet but even with the billions being shelled to we actually know what goes into the food theyre eating every day we delve into an industry operating seemingly without any oversight. Was the and its either or was it was it with thought it was 1000. 00. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy. Let it be an arms race is often very dramatic developments only personally im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

Is primary role isnt regulation of what the label says it is and there is actually in the us the f. D. A. Is not regulating Quality Production sourcing any of those things theyre regulating that what you say is on the label is actually on the label the most shocking thing about the pet Food Industry that that has remained since basically i started doing this work is the f. D. A. Compliance policies i still cannot understand how and industry is provided by a federal tax supported organization loopholes to avoid federal law if you go to the f. D. A. Website and just type in compliance policies and then scroll down the page to hand feed and and theres one after another they allow contamination by pesticides contamination by Industrial Chemicals contamination bad natural toxins contamination filth micro biological contamination over tolerance for permanent drug residues. Its incredible. The law says that can be but the compliance policy says dont worry go ahead we wont enforce.
