report on it back when it happened in 1999 they tried to bury it and pretended it didn't really matter hohum just the most famous respected crucial one of the most famous respected crucial leaders in american history murdered by our own government nothing to see here you know what put it on page d 12 behind the story about how people under $25.00 are eating out of a condo toast. if you don't believe that news of that trial is important then what do you find important i mean that they could find the lindbergh baby inside jimmy hoffa's rectum and it would be more important. here's what happened 20 years ago a jury heard from 70 witnesses including lloyd jowers the guy who owned the bar where the shots were fired from by 999 jabbers had come forward and said he assisted the gunman in the murder and the gunman was not james earl ray as we've all been told it was a memphis police officer in fact curettage scott king and the king family also believe james earl ray was innocent it only took the jury one hour to come back with a verdict that said jack hours of. along with government agencies have killed dr king but that wasn't enough for the new york times so they said the trial was stupid and. the reporters even went out of their way to mention more than once that one of the jurors had nodded off at one point because the true indicator of a real trial is how exciting it is whether it has your nipples hard you know that that's what matters do you understand how boring as most trials are i fall asleep 10 times trying to watch the impeachment trial of our president. i've also pissed myself twice bamma did want to myself 13 times but i know the new york times is a dumpster fire now it was a dumpster fire back in 9099 so the question now is why did our government decide martin luther king had to be taken out well it wasn't just his work with civil rights in the final year of his life martin luther king began speaking out strongly against the vietnam against militarism against the innocent civilians we were bombing and against capitalism here's some quotes from m.l.k. see if there sister the same ones you read in your 3rd grade history books he said we must ask the question why are there 40000000 poor people in america and when you ask that question you are raising questions about the economic system about the distribution of wealth when you asked that question you begin to question the capitalistic economy and he declared the evils of capitalism are as real as the evils of militarism and racism if america does not use her vast resources of wealth to end poverty and make it possible for all of god's children to have the basic necessities of life she too will go to hell and he said that only 2 weeks before his assassination. but those are not the quotes you hear nowadays you know nowadays people pretend the only thing i ever said was. yeah yeah they. are both culture has succeeded in turning a revolutionary man into barney the dinosaur all right all of those quotes from m.l.k. were in the final year of his life but maybe it's the reverse maybe because of those quotes it became the final year of his life and in the final 18 months of his life m.l.k. also. vietnam we cannot remain silent as our nation engages in one of history's most cruel and senseless wars we need dissenters because the thunder of their fearless voices will be the only sound stronger than the blasts of bombs in the clamor of war hysteria we must demonstrate teach and preach until the very foundations of our nation are shaken. i'm sure that's the quote donald trump and my parents were thinking about when they went to the m.l.k. memorial this week. no i think it's far more likely trump was they can. write me off a piece of that. in the kid. the real martin luther king jr was the revolutionary martin luther king jr the one you're not supposed to talk about in the in the mixed company the one that's reserved for the back rooms of the dark alleys the one that had to be stopped had to be shot up had to be silence had to be closed off and shut down that's not the one our military intelligence machine is tweeting nice things about that's the one our military intelligence machine had murdered how many of them washed it to you to tell you thank you. ok great thank you. we can now it's like the news from behind groundbreaking journalist glenn greenwald has been charged with cyber crimes in brazil why because he revealed extreme corruption within the brazilian government corruption that was used to imprison the left wing leader lula de silva in order to pave the way for brazil far ride president and count dracula his last attractive half brother guy airball so no row. i wonder i wonder where the fascists in brazil got the idea to try to imprison a journalist for revealing their crimes by accusing said journalist of mysterious cyber crimes ok i can't think of any other example of someone who revealed the disgusting underbelly of our rulers and then was imprisoned for both all right glenn greenwald has said he can't leave his house without security i can't think of any journalist the ruling elite hate so much they threaten to do harm to the guy oh except for when hillary clinton said she wanted to drone bomb julian a song. then that but that meant she was care they. found out the military wouldn't do it she was going to. put this attack on intercept co-founder glenn greenwald is so disgusting that every so-called journalist in america should be speaking out against it of course we don't have any journalist and in our. base 3 media anymore we have to act we have hacks who are under cowards and i won't say i won't say they don't have to because that plays into the patriarchal stereotype of caste tickles equaling strength and courage and wisdom and the ability to install a ceiling fan. i mean as if women can have strength that's ridiculous anyone who says that has never been punched by a woman after you congratulate her on her pregnancy when she's not pregnant. no i think many women have far more courage than men so instead of saying our mainstream media hacks don't have. i'll say they don't have the pajama. job to get the car think you should have journalists reveal the corruption of the powerful they they they barely have any vaginas in all. their tiny tiny tiny. tiny little giants that look like islands. anyway we should paying attention to the story and to the ongoing imprisonment of julian assange as his extradition hearing comes up in a few weeks staying on the subject of the news our rulers really don't want you talking about the collapsing narrative of a chemical attack in syria took yet another step toward a blip in a team leader for the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons testified at the un that no chemical attack took place in duma syria despite what the us media and the o.p.c. w. reported back in april 28th eem so for those of you playing along at home that's the syrian chemical attack did not happen iraq did not have w m d's the north vietnamese did not attack us ships in the gulf of tonkin but iran totally did have plans for imminent attack on america industry right yes. it's good. for stage good our government just can't show you the evidence yet because they chewed it up and swallowed it to stop iran from getting it. i mean look at my pump aereo do you honestly believe he wouldn't eat something. with the trunk administration is not only lying to the american people they're also given the american people lots of money ok donald trump has repeatedly bragged that he's giving away his taxpayer funded salary as president of united states i give away my salary. that's i guess close to $450000.00 i give it away nobody have said he gives away a salary now it comes up because of this but i give away my presidential so they say that no other president has done and i'm surprised to be honest with what a noble and generous man. may be since trump doesn't want the money we used it to pay for the $115000000.00 his golf trips have cost us which amounts to 287 years of presidential salary. and many millions all of that money goes back into trump's own pockets because taxpayers pay for secret service and white house staff to stay and eat at his golf resorts you know it's good it's going to say that he's he's found so much time to play golf because there were some idiots out there who claimed he would never time for it because i'm going to be working for you i'm not going to have time to go play golf with you. or to get off the golf course and get down i love golf i think it's one of the greats but i don't have time turns out turns out letting the united states collapse under a mountain of wall street greed and corporate corruption doesn't take as much time in the office as you might pay. i mean especially big business exploiting the working class it really just takes care of itself. for example apple has finally admitted that customers repairing i phones is bad for their profits c.e.o. tim cook revealed this in a letter this month to investors and vice news reports apple has long fought efforts that would make i phones easier to repair it is lobbying against right to repair it doesn't sell i phone replacement parts sued an independent repair professional in norway and it has deals with electronics recycle or does that require them to read i phones and mac books. but tim cook also said in order to make up for the losses they've suffered apple is unveiling its new destroyer program in which employees walk around town grabbing people's i phones and smashing them. sure it might piss of people off but pretty good job you can get it . i've been doing it for free for a long time. does anyone else notice that apple's aversion to repair or might be a bit of a flaw in capitalism corporations who want their products to collapse quickly so that people buy more does that sound like a sustainable economic model to you sounds about a sustainable is a cage filled with a family a guinea pigs and a large snake. it's sustainable for the snake. less so for the hamsters in capitalism whether half starved. so or guinea pigs out of indifference so what happens. so what happens when you have a corrupt president and his golf resorts corporations controlling the system and workers completely exploited well usually the working class people start to go i've got an idea let's get angry let's grow let's let's go back to them. so then the powerful people go we need to make sure they don't care about us we need to surveil them and we all know that they've been watching us they watch our phones they watch our social media posts but that's not enough that doesn't always tell them when we're out on the streets when we're on the move so now the defense industry is preparing to test fly domestic versions of its combat drones over major american cities the pal way california based defense contractor general atomics aeronautical systems inc will test fly its sky guardian drone outfitted with a $79.00 foot wingspan and advanced surveillance capabilities of more than 2000 feet over san diego california sometime this year. yes something tells me that drone isn't going to do good things for you and me. i can't really picture it being used to remind me where i parked my car last night or which path to take to avoid running into my ex-girlfriend on the sidewalk. nothing says don't worry we have your best interests at heart like hovering death machine name sky guardian. i mean if you're going to do kid you guys at least trick us a little you know name the. fluffy clouds glider or something oh i've got it name it not a military grade drone. then we could have news headlines that say not a military grade drone was seen flying above your neighborhood. remind you that you left your car to strip club. that would make me proud to be an american really what we have to go to a short break but philadelphia i'll be performing live this weekend tickets in detail to redact record aka new york city my book release of that will be march 7th at the strand books in manhattan reserve your spot of redacted tor dot com other i mean. what politicians do you should. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so if you want to express what you. want. to write. it's like. you keep it. interesting. let's leave. it at the slams you or some. of the stuff you say. what. you see in the film was that just because. the book nobody. really believes. you. want. you. to believe them then. you know what. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race based on all sides clearly dramatic developments only i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. a. constantly camp this week thousands of pro 2nd amendment activists including a fair share of white supremacists have descended on richmond virginia to protest new gun control legislation this comes after weeks of death threats against virginia delegate and red headed socialist lee carter who had to skip monday's legislative senate session for his own safety for more we're joined by our red headed socialist correspondent andrew. and enters lee here definitely not lee carter i am a judge or namely originally from virginia a virgin juror lee if you will. no relation to robert but i am not lead carter i am an earthly. when i am i'm also a leave from virginia should i be worried. how does holding start well those good lee carter who is not me has introduced a bill to repeal and over 60 year old law that prevents public employees in virginia from striking after fellow lawmakers expressed concerns over public safety carter adjusted the legislation to exclude police officers. making sure police stay on the job is good for public safety it doesn't sound right. to ever mad a cop in virginia i know they should be going on strike all the time extra bonus if they forget their guns at home. unfortunately though delegate carter has had to ask for police protection after conspiracy theorist spawn his bill into a broader narrative that the state's democratic governor was working to confiscate virginians guns and that carter's new legislation was designed to fire cops who don't confiscate guns. what does bill have to do with gun confiscation nothing but that hasn't stopped right wing media from reppert misrepresenting it even the wall street journal has claimed that it requires police officers who don't enforce the statute being fired that's for the wall street journal they're supposed to be lying about trump's economic numbers that are. not going stuff mash mass shootings are not good for the market so why can't someone correct the record like another state official or some what lee carter would like them to as what i sense yet again i am not him. but unfortunately carter has said that some of these rumors are coming from police unions and even a fellow republican state lawmaker all people he said who should be able to accurately read legislation he expects republicans to be able to read. it's a good point in fact and his opponents are more fond of pictures this is what they used against him during his 1st run in 2017. well you know good he's received hundreds of death threats including some from police officers which have caused him to seek cell shelter in a safe house he knows he can't count on the police or his fellow officer holders whose corruption he's fighting against fortunately though he does have one group in his corner and that's the people have been asses who reelected him in november against republican in lovejoy with 53 percent of the vote. that's an official photo sure it is and how did the out of the people of virginia feel about the gun rally on monday well before the rally 7 neo nazis were arrested and revealed to have allegedly discussed opening fire which made virginians a bit skeptical according to carter by tag teaming with fascists they strengthen the liberals result the past gun control bills actively making it harder to achieve the thing they said they want it just goes to show you can mass will. julies all you want but will get the last laugh and everybody. was accurate. and taxes are filed lawsuits against companies that pollute in their region the surprising part of that these companies are based in other countries for more on this raging controversy we go to redacted correspondent only care of on. plastic pollution there's so much more to it than plastic bags and bottles used tampon applicators and those floss pick things there's also the lesser known by product of the plastic manufacturing process that gets done by the ton in oceans and waterways plastic pellets called nergal's which i will refer to as plastic pellets from now on. i can see nergal's with a straight face it's toxic waste but. in the us some citizens are lorem by the amount of plastic pollution but don't worry the government lowered standards so there are fewer violations and therefore fewer reasons to be alarmed the standards are so low that a plastics giant that pollutes too much for taiwan is turning to america give us not your tired nor your or give us your non-biodegradable through. a plastics manufacturer that's been slammed with fines in china is expanding operations in america the formosa plants a corporation has already been fined for discharging billions of plastic pellets in waterways and texas 1st so long asian countries were willing to sacrifice environmental concerns for development which was a fair exchange but now china says it will ban plastics that pollute it's land and water which includes blacklisting companies that flout the plastics ban oh. china but here in the u.s. we've already been shamed into no longer using plastic strong so i have to admit i do not like the replacements the paper straws are prophetic and the metal straw is i think we're really sending a message to those turtles that we're going to finish the job next time. for also plans in $90000000000.00 plant in louisiana a giant complex to make petro chemicals used in products such as playground equipment drainage pipes and artificial turf the company calls it the sunshine project which is brilliant when you think about it how about instead of the b.p. oil spill we call it the babysitter's caught up in nearby point comfort texas formosa was ordered to pay a $50000000.00 fine for disposing their toxic dippin dots into nearby waterways this was the largest settlement in history resulting from an environmental lawsuit led by a citizen this citizen was diane wilson a retired trooper who was nice enough to bring a news anchor along in her kayak how many pilots are going into the water ideally bases they managed just 7000000000 years rural patrols everywhere like those led by diane wilson have new confidence thanks to this lawsuit but why do the work of picking them up from the beach because you can't find them like sea trials i'm sure when you stick a handful plastic pellets in your ear you hear the sound of a stick manufacturing or the screams of people as the world and we know i hear these things are getting stuck in my ear. ok the $15000000.00 settlement amount won't make much of a dent to the bottom line for most of plastic or. bush last year reported $12100000000.00 in pretax profit however we still need more people like wilson the pellet picker upper to remember these corporations and the government they control are held accountable to make sure that these insidious plastic pellets don't end up in our water in our shorelines. because someone might pick them up and stick them in their ear reporting from nurul beach texas i'm new me kara bonnie we're down to make. it will come out the other side. there are your headlines from the future tomorrow you'll read. donald trump quietly ruminates over whether it's insulting or flattering that he's being impeached for the least of his crimes. and in one month you'll
