Washington state. So with the reach of the us empire quite literally turning toxic i think its time for us to start watching all those. Like you that i got. To. Remember watching the hawks i am tyrrel but for joining me today is the best good journalist im the creator of truth and media one always a pleasure but i think that. You know other problems that were seeing on these this is a fascinating bit of you know empire gone wild in my opinion are the problems were seeing ultimately examples of the u. S. Military empire being stretched too thin using these wrong munitions the i mean were seeing now deformities in these kids in iraq its heartbreaking it is heartbreaking its but when maybe one of the worst things about the ongoing war on terror right which is that beyond the millions of people who have died the destruction of countries around the world which have generational impacts in addition to that we are now seeing the generational impacts of these munitions that you were talking about depleted uranium used in them this gloria and that is in them which is eventually causes horrific and very serious birth defects and whats so unbelievably sad about this. Is that beyond the actual suffering that these children are going through is the fact that our military and our government wont even recognize it discuss it talk about it or accept that this is a reality of again the ongoing consequence of these wars it and thats a great point that you bring up because they they dont discuss it i mean you you you you have to twist arms just to get them to talk about the after effect. The burton puts in a record because the veterans will come back and the amount of neurological damage and other strange diseases there and lets just talk can we just mention something about good because the burn pits are important for viewers who dont understand this so the u. S. Military when theyre in these locations have these pits where they burn chemicals and they burn all kinds of. Toxic items theyre thrown into this and the inhalation from those burn pits causes not only birth defects as well and serious issues but chronic issues in u. S. Soldiers as well so you know one thing that rarely gets talked about anymore is something called gulf war syndrome right to go back to the 991 gulf war the original one right 250000 veterans who served in the gulf war of the 600 and i think what Something Like 697000 who served. Have gulf war syndrome now when you say go for syndrome that even sounds like a p. T. S. D. Kind of thing its not these are physical defects these are chronic headaches and migraines and then again the birth defects that can come from that as well so going back to the original go for we still have veterans who are suffering from that and you know those numbers pale in comparison to the number of veterans who will suffer as a result of these wars that were in right now its true and thats the thing that you know when i read these stories about you know you have kids being born you know iraqi children being born with these birth defects just 10 kilometers or and under away from these bases the thing with them immediately springs into my mind having known about gulf war syndrome on the issue of the burn pits is are we now going to see us soldiers who served in these areas now come home and suddenly this rising birth defects i mean is that a real issue that you have to see i think it is a real issue as i mentioned because we seen this with the gulf war now we havent seen the same kind of issues in terms of birth defects as as were seeing with the issues the soldiers themselves care of the veterans themselves are carrying severe issues in terms of what they come back with but the the children who are in iraq right now this next generation of iraqis were talking about thousands who have not only the birth defects as a result of the uranium but then would pass that along to their children very possibly as well so again its a multigenerational and this is whats so frustrating i think when you cover the war on terror is the fact that everything is viewed in the mainstream you know kind of viewpoint as being the right now and whats next and very little looks at heres the consequence of what were doing you know veteran suicides we talk about it quite a bit right its a major issue just as the Health Care Issues were talking about trillions with a t trillions of dollars in health care that have to go to the u. S. Veterans who have served in these wars and were not even slowing down there is no appetite in washington to say lets slow down and recognize the consequence of this for generations to. Its hard enough just to get washington to recognize the consequences of the 1st responders of 911 let alone the let alone the constant but Health Consequences thats happened to the veterans over the years because though theyre very quick to always parade the veterans out and maybe theyll give them a little bill here and there just to kind of say hey look at how great we are but theres not any real long lasting real hardcore look at the issues there because you dont make money off it cant make money off the veterans and what theyre going through but you do make money off continuing to build weapons and continue to send those weapons now interesting but its also the General Accountability Office as i mentioned is claiming that the effects of Climate Change are now directly affecting the Water Supplies here at the bases here in the United States and our domestic installations is that one of those things that we could suddenly see like oh oh now here at home were being affected because everyone likes to wave the military flag when were on the campaign trail could that actually kind of backdoor politicians and the putting up some infrastructure to fight Climate Change even regardless of whos responsible for right you know like i was a decent but do you really think thats going to have it i mean of course not i dont talk about that what you want to ask but i do think its a good question is there an appetite for that i dont think there is here heres whats amazing to be so i come from the desert grew up in el paso which has actually the physically Largest Military installation in the entire country and you tell us which is fort bliss and White Sands Missile range all of that kind of combined together whats fascinating is that fort bliss has seen a humongous influx of soldiers over the last 10 years but what they did to prep for that because el paso doesnt have water right its right its in the does it just doesnt have it there were some incredible facilities that were built at the time that allowed for basically detoxifying water and repurpose in water right they built this enormous plant to do this and this was you know maybe 30 years ago that this was 1st designed put together and and if you go through the list of u. S. Military bases right now that have water shortages fort bliss is not on that list interest it should be of all of these different places it should be. And its not so i think more so then just recognizing that ok theres theres a lack of water in these places because the u. S. Military uses massive amounts of water here is how do we use technology in a smart way to resolve not just around military installations but in general how do we how do we fix the problems of water shortages for the populations because it shouldnt just be fixed with a military installation no because theres always people who live around that know exactly yeah i mean look with mesley pump and how much water out of the tributaries of the great lakes and everybody looking to you know abuse fresh water and then even even the waste that we see in our Waste Systems in this country of the waste of fresh water this is a major issue that all that anyone is really paying attention to is how valuable freshwater is going to be in the coming future and again this isnt about the debate of whether or not who what creates Climate Change and that we see that somethings happening so we need to react to what there is a very quiet process its taking place is that the next great wars will be water wars they absolutely will be a lot of people dont know this but the Israeli Government goes around the world buying up water reserves in countries all over the world including countries in latin and south america like in chile the you know the Israeli Government owns water reserves there so what you know were going to see in the future are wars over water its the most important resource and it is becoming more and more scarce next to air and water in areas broken neck and neck and for the most of the art i think it would have been always a pleasure because there was a time when i visited. Geoffrey up stephen the creepy uncle the one percent is back in the headlines again yes a new lawsuit filed this week by 9 different users against is a state claims that epsteins sexual abuse of children began as early as 1985 targeting victims as young as 13 years old r. T. Americas Rachel Blevins has been following this story all day and here is her report. State and convicted pedophile jeffrey abstain has been hit with yet another lawsuit and this one alleges that his abuse of young girls started nearly 35 years. Years ago the last day was filed by 9 women who were identified as jane doe one through 9 and they say they were between the ages of 13 and 23 when they were sexually abused by epstein and his associates at least 6 of the women claimed they were raped by epstein and the timeline of the abuse dates back as far as 1985 and last up until 2007 the lawsuit claims epstein abused young girls in just about every location where he owned property including his homes in manhattan and palm beach his massive ranch in new mexico and of course his infamous island in the u. S. Virgin islands now this lawsuit is also notable because it is one of the 1st and which we have seen epstein accused of targeting much younger girls past victims of said they were 16 or 17 and epstein lurd the men with the promise of careers and modeling or dance but the latest lawsuit claims the victims were as young as 13. 14 meaning they were children and were still in middle school now these women join more than a dozen who have fallen lawsuits against epsteins a state which is estimated to be worth more than 577000000. 00 abstain curiously signed a new will just 2 days before his death and which he moved his assets into a trust creating concerns that it would be exempt from lawsuits filed by the woman he abused then last month executors of epsteins estate asked a judge in the u. S. Virgin islands to establish a voluntary Restitution Fund to compensate his victims however many of these women have said that it is not just about the money they want to see the Close Friends and associates of upstream who enabled and joined in on his abuse actually face consequences but we have yet to see and like sean looper nell and glen maxwell have seemingly disappeared leaving many to hope that the onslaught of lawsuits will of make a difference for watching the hawks were a show of love and archie. All right as we go to break cork watchers dont forget to let us know what you think of the topics youve covered over social media be sure to check out watching the hawks the podcast is now available on spotify are up and your. Everywhere you listen your favorite or well. Coming up we delve into the latest news surrounding a new travel beyond being levied on the president of venezuela because of the doro by the United States and 14 other countries in that american hemisphere the black alliance for peace is now freeman joins us to discuss to watch. Up until recently politics were about policy preferences and ways to implement them that is not the case today your political views are now what define you as a person and there is a moral dimension bias against those who are not politically correct is the last acceptable form of discrimination this is the end of politics. My feeling with this world is right now is were so confused and were 4 and this is a certain generation thats controlling all the Politics Around the world when that generation. And children that are brought off this move really are less materialistic dont really care about these things concrete even more automobiles want to live by the side job want to ride a bicycle this movement is global and its going the world is going to has to go in this direction and its going to change. The European Unions tendency to believe that. Represents europe has long been a major gripe for russia but as the e. U. Experiences significant internal difficulties it is studied to reassess what it is and what it stands for what does that process mean for the countries sharing the continent with. All right welcome back my friends lets move on now to the nation of venezuela where the United States and its allies are continuing to make life as difficult as possible for Nicolas Maduro and his government yes the u. S. And the Trump Administration still have not given up on their dreams of regime change in the south American Country whose socialist policies have long been a thorn in the u. S. Corporate interests in that region reuters reporting that the 15 countries who are part of the interim american treaty of reciprocal assistance or t. R. Agreed on tuesday to ban 29. 00 venezuelans including the Oil Producing countries president Nicolas Maduro and his close allies from traveling within their borders as part of diplomatic efforts to push him to step down t. R. By the way is an accord between these members of the organization of american states that promises a mutual defense among them but while there were bans being dropped on venezuelan political officials bans were being lifted in the name of baseball is writers also reporting that the u. S. Treasury department has created an exemption from its venezuela related sanctions allowing for transactions with the countrys local Baseball League this moved out paves the way for players under contract with Us Major League baseball teams or their Minor League Affiliates to participate in the Venezuelan League known as the l b b p so baseball good socialism bad and all the venezuelans are trapped in between joining us now to discuss is a coordinating Committee Member of the black lines for peace now for freeman knepper always a pleasure having you on sir thank you so did you recently returned from venezuela what do you think the effects of this travel ban will be for those 25. 00 that is waylands affected by it and the president Nicolas Maduro so again is going to its. Going to. Increase the isolation of the country and people tend to look at these bans on individuals as not so harmful as something. Only targeting people who are guilty of something but theyre really meant to impede the ability of country to create deals and to do Different Things and i mean people just need to be able to travel in order to to make to work things in this global interconnected world so its going to actually have some tough implications along with that deal that they made along with this. This agreement was also that if any of these people can be extradited those fishes could be extradited if they happen to be in one of these countries greece to or somewhere else that agrees to this this this thing i think its important for us to understand whats happening in these countries that are. Also look at the country who are doing a burger the colombia. Argentina and the and so these are countries that are in the rightward shift they are in so now what the United States is doing is upping the ante against trying to assert its interest in the region. Phillippa cation of what we call the black alliance for peace the paneuropean nato e. U. Axis of domination and so its not just in like in the opening its not just. The government socialist policies it is that largely but its also the business well in particular but also other countries there is a mass Popular Movement the socialism and whats being built there is a little led by masses of people of color and so that is very disheartening for them because were talking about a decade or maybe even centuries of european nation in these countries there is not just the political. But its also comes with all kind of other cultural affinity and things like that they actually might have something to do with this exception when it comes the baseball which is very interesting it is a very good exception that suddenly popped up you know its in when you talk about this is bad too it also struck me that this is coming right not long after what we saw happen in bolivia with. Morales the president there who you know went to mexico and now theyre trying to get him back and it almost kind of struck me as one of those things like if they do for men what they want to see that regime change they want to see you know this is one of those kind of travel bans that sets up torpey tries to escape to a fellow country you know ok now we can ship him back now we can you know we can do it if my girl with enron you know if that were to happen down there. I want to ask you how does you know and thats colleagues were next question how do you think that this kind of plays into those plans that theyve been trying to from about regime change about trying to ferment you know how does this bear on them as people play into those coins like so that makes it more isolated i keep them isolated some isolated but also its its a solidifying of these countries who are actually struggling in their own countries with a lot of popular unrest and things like that part of this agreement is also not under the radar also which is related to this agreement but its not the same is that the United States has pledged to help these countries stop what theyre calling demonstrations now poppy demonstrations turn into riots this is what their claim is but what theyre trying to this is a very dangerous precedent and that kind of things are they actually being able to to really help what are unpopular governments keep power be by you know on what theyre going to send their military or whatever and so were not even and they dont want to understand that these are this is popular unrest so its really a solidifying of their interests and the players in the region that were seeing they already know that countries like. In nicaragua and venezuela and what other popular. Not do anymore but those known i could do any more but these countries have had to. Come together and band together in order to ward off imperialist aggression so theyre trying to counterbalance the solidarity and International Solidarity of those countries and they have to do this with a lot of propaganda. You know it was interesting too when we mentioned the baseball piece earlier because im seeing a lot of you know you see a lot in American Media and things like that especially on capitol hill here in washington to see that kind of pearl clutching over evil venezuela where you know you see going to jack ryan t. V. Show all of that. But yet we suddenly allow venezuelan Baseball Players to come and go back and forth and i wonder if thats because at the end of. They were talking about Major League Baseball americas pastime but moneymaker but it is these talented gentlemen you know who are playing in that thing that its kind of like you know what do you believe was behind that move by the treasury to suddenly say like ok we have these draconian sanctions on this country but lets let the Baseball Players im a man think you hit it on the head already is this is a big money maker and it seems its not is the big money but its seen culturally as you know representing you know america so to speak and its exceptionalism also it might you know and im not saying i dont know how much of this might be a motivation but what the u. S. State department has long tried to do with cuba is is get its Baseball Players and its other you know sports athletes to defect and become poster children for denouncing the country and so thats im sure thats i consider it if its not a big girl but if. Its fasting i just when youre saw that it was like you know 100 sides good and bad women who are sides good or bad lipped it does interest me when i saw that dynamic i also want to talk to you because you you were recently in venezuela and its always nice to talk to someone whos been there on the ground to see the culture see the people in the community and its been a month you know i think its been about a month when your last there yeah what do you feel is the biggest misconception that the u. S. You know in u. S. Citizens have of the venezuelan culture and vice versa what is venezuela the cultures biggest misconception of the u. S. So i dont know. Venezuela and then the minutes when the culture of it is when people have a lot of misconceptions about the weather in the United States has a way you could even get Us Television well there is a. Lot of articles on all these guys and so but you wont get the vice versa and so there is a lot of misconceptions here about minutes will and particularly the mass the. The mass media if i want to call them i guess mass media. Doesnt show us i think art can do that other. People like more people warranted outlets the waves of demonstrations like when i was there the coup in bolivia happened when i was there and actually didnt even know they were i was being they were visiting african afro minutes when the community and they asked this. Interview to few people whats important about this and what do you think about the believe and i was. I didnt i didnt know about it and had to find out more about it but. That day or that maybe it was the next day there was a big demonstration of venezuela seeing this. Libya and we were there for the after this in this conference every statement was mentioning bolivia and everything and i mean even. I know the African People all over the place with the Transatlantic Slave Trade but theres affability still. And they were you know made a statement and there was also lots of statements in solidarity with Indigenous People so african and Business People have that commonality of being trying to work for the colonization and so in that there was a mass demonstration it was like took place the next day is a lot i mean you told my thousands of people going through the streets of caracas you dont get that and you wont hear. People in the media you wont hear any kind of relationship between countries while believing venezuela and also the things are going on you know sanctions makes the harbel people are just you know theyre just being theyre trying to cope and also one that thing happened in bolivia and this is what people dont. Know when its real it fortifies because right after that ministration made threats against well. You gotta watch out and people were talking about the venezuelan girl i am a regular venezuelan and you know were not going to let that happen we got there they were. Not pulling them out of pride that they believe in their country that believes in their leaders and so that was that was that was some of the things that were seeing there its interesting its very interesting i want to say thank you so much for coming on today and illuminating my audiences as always you do and its always a pleasure having you on sort of someones thinking. Guess what auk watchers the universe is apparently no longer flat yes for years scientists and the strong winners have been measuring our universe as a geometric lee flat but now a team of cosmologists have discovered that according to the latest measurements the universe the universe my friends has curves entered the planck satellite a joint effort between mass and usa to map the cosmic microwave background across our sky and according to playing straw findings it appears the numbers suggest a curved universe not a flat one but what does this mean well for one thing since we all started from the big bang a flat universe would mean we just keep expanding forever out into the horizon while a curve universe says that we will eventually come back into itself the universe will come back into itself and something cosmologists are calling the big crunch. Now well now the big problem is can we finally can we finally now that we realize the universe is curved or can we finally move beyond the whole flat earth mass believes its a globe sorry its not flat all right everybody in america is ours over today remember in this world we are not told that we love them up so i tell you all i love you i am a robot to write keep on watching all those hawks out there and every great day and night. Live. Leg. Live leg. Length. Leg. Play. Live live. Live. Live. Live. Oh. Please. Play. Live. So. Lets. Play. Play. Play. Play. Play play very well now continue watching on since last. Thinking of getting a new phone the ones we got a shot from rome why is he didnt know what to do he was trapped in this tiny little wired coach we dont need to create with him he will just stir reaching out into the wilderness pretty much anywhere near and. Breeding dogs caged in the into lane conditions on the phone i mean 67 years you know theyve been locked up in cages outside you see no protection from the weather the heat you know the cold air the rain the snow the funder they have no protection. Because you. Get 2 kids. Across the u. S. Cruel puppy mills are supported by dog shows and extols most of the puppies are coming from these large Scale Factory farming kind of operations are being sold in stores even joined a Group Businesses are involved like the mom center there has been a shocking amount of organized opposition to efforts to increase the standards of care for dogs bred in commercial breeding for so many most of that opposition is coming from huge agricultural groups and industries that have nothing to do with dogs dont buy dogs. All the yen the euro the dollar they all refer to each other and theyre all going deeper and deeper into debt so theres no basic there or there theres no so theres no way to measure the dead against something that is could be considered money remember j. P. Morgan said only gold is money Everything Else is credit or death ok so without that there is no way to measure that debt and theres no at the moment you know my my view is that this is leading to a neo feudalism or you have just a few private equity firms owing 98 percent of all the assets and everyone else is a living as serfs on that were getting back to the dark ages.
