I was 3rd whistleblower has chimed in with claims accusing the world chemical weapons watchdog of creating an atmosphere of intimidation securing the o. P. C. The investigation into the alleged chlorine attack in the syrian city of duma in april 28th. The years our server the most stressful and unpleasant ones of my life i feel ashamed for the organization and im glad i left it a redacted email given to investigative news website the gray zone project highlights the issues of integrity during the probe it follows revelations by 2 other watchdog employees stressing the same issue they also question the findings of the final report which in effect pin the blame on the Assad Government sifts through the evidence. We like to imagine that these massive global organizations the un the i. M. F. The u. P. C. W. These juggernauts a good but knives that at the end of the day what they do is good for mankind but as with many things in life you take a closer look and youre left the supported one whistleblower saying the u. P. C. W. Was biased corrupt well he could be wrong just an opinion to whistleblowers saying the same thing makes you think could they be right u. B. C. W. Says no ignore them specters a and b. A nots whistle blowers they are individuals who could not accept that their views were not backed by evidence as could be expected their conclusions are uninformed and brohm sure show one whistleblower could be wrong too well could be wrong but when its 3 when its 5 when its a dozen whistle blows you know somethings rotten. I fear those behind the crimes that have been perpetrated in the name of humanity and democracy they will not hesitate to do harm to me and my family just what the hell is going on at the o. P. C. W. What could be so terrifying that its own employees are afraid for their lives and feel their employer could target them and their families it isnt just one individual its others too whose crimes were that they would just doing their jobs i submitted a requests to the team leader i asked i repeated this request a number of times all requests were declined or simply ignored just the guy doing his job what it said in the Job Description at what was a respectable organization according to testimony given at the un thats not what the u. P. C. W. The management wanted all requests were denied the responses i received included this is too big dont make yourself a martyr i deposited a dossier requesting an investigation months later i was informed that nothing would be done i requested a meeting with the director general as i thought the situation was serious enough to warrant him being made aware of it the request for a meeting was denied and i was informed by a senior manager that you will never get to the director general and if you try to go around me to get to him there will be consequences but dont you think the u. P. C. W. Hasnt learned that lesson it has it isnt the lesson you and me might think of you know being more honest the lesson they learned is everyone everyone working for them needs to learn to keep their mouths shut and additional bigotry Organization Wide confidentiality Training Program will be instituted for all personnel employed by the secretary and this training will be accompanied by annual are to stations and just in case anyone anyone gets any smart idea. As in the future the bosses over the u. P. C. W. Could always show them this letter and tell them this is what happens to you when you dare speak out against the u p c w i dont want to expose myself or my family to their violence and revenge i dont want to live in fear of crossing the street but as mentioned the o. P. C. W. Went public in doubting the credibility of the 1st to whistle blows weve asked the International Chemical weapons watch talk to comment on all the allegations well let you know its response if we do hear back. Hundreds of officials from around the world are converging in munich this friday for the citys annual security conference among the topics in focus today of the conflict tearing libya apart and the refugee flows across the mediterranean at a Panel Discussion German Foreign minister spoke of a new stage in the worlds political order. On the. American Global Police and it is over think of syria africa afghanistan not because of the lack of military or economic power but because the commitment of those responsible in the white house has changed when it comes to the world older. Must there speaking at this years Munich Security Conference which has as its overarching theme a word restlessness might be a word many people havent heard before dont worry what it means who said she had an existential crisis among western nations about what their role is on the world stage today was talking about this in relation to the middle east on friday saying that nations like russia turkey and iran were now the ones who are really driving the agenda in the middle east at the moment and their decisions on the future of that region were being made not in geneva or new york but in sochi and aston are now he firmly blames the United States for this geopolitical switch and we must be critical of ourselves. Europeans have long closed our eyes to uncomfortable realities what does it mean for the us to withdraw from the military commitments and International Contracts weve closed our eyes even if we kept them open we couldnt have seen how quickly the pendulum of american diplomacy and politics would swing the other way. Well in fact the United States is pretty much taken on a role of disruptor in chief on the current world stage at the moment we saw them pull out of the i. N. F. Treaty we of course saw them pull back unilaterally from the Iran Nuclear Deal which is caused such tensions and problems in that region as well but moving away from we heard frank coltish dying my hair the german president former foreign minister himself of course talk about russias future role. In European Defense as a defense partner with europe in talks about a reporter small with moscow more than a new different better relationship between the e. U. And russia and russia in the European Union or that was just the 1st day of the Munich Security Conference about 2 more days of talks to come up with there should be plenty of more news coming out of that when you think that libya is set for discussion on sunday were also expecting a speech from the minute mark on the french president about how he sees the future of European Defense on saturday plenty of more news to come from the security conference. Beijing is accused washington of abusing its powers to suppress Chinese Companies thats after the u. S. Justice department dialed up the pressure on who i really think the new charges against the Chinese Company including racketeering and conspiracy to steal trade secrets the u. S. Has been misusing its National Power to oppressed Chinese Companies with no proof of any wrongdoing such practice is disgraceful and immoral and it is beneath the status of the u. S. As a major come true for u. S. Prosecutors allege that hallway has engaged in systematic campaigns to steal intellectual property from u. S. Tech firms that as far back as 1909 staff are also said to have been encouraged to actively obtain Sensitive Information from competitors and source code and Wireless Technology manuals are among the information reportedly obtained by the Chinese Company now those of us charges were made under federal law historically used to prosecute members of the mafia a while of course has been under pressure from the trouble to ministration accusing it of spying on behalf of beijing its repeatedly denied any links to the Chinese Government or the tech giant also says the latest charges are without merit suggesting the u. S. Is simply trying to push up a competitor a u. S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi doubled down dough on the american allegations. China is seeking to exploit its digital autocracy through its telekinesis Telecommunications Giant was threatening economically tell the nation against those who did not get their technology this is the most insidious form of anger aggression to have that line of communication 5 down the neighborhood my autocratic government that has does not share as valid this is a Major Development thats going to have far reaching implications its very clear that Trump Administration the department of justice wants to implicate huawei broadly as a criminal organization and one has to ask what what are the what are the broader implications does that mean if its part of the Chinese Government is the u. S. Claims that the Chinese Government is a criminal organization or they if you do business with weiwei that you are doing business with a criminal organization so clearly. Clearly theres some pretty profound association at work i dont want to speculate too much but if i. If im apple or tesla or shanghai g. M. I have to be worried about what the implications are you know volkswagen others what if if if what were looking at here is a new step forward in terms of right power competition or cold war 2. 0 or decoupling what do you know occasions for these Major Global Companies that are doing business in china in other words the United States coffee makes allegations that the chinese tradition here is highly politicized what happens if it becomes tit for tat it could have a very compelling. Outcome for both you know at the International Level but at the at the economic level in terms of the specific industries. One of the french president s closest political allies has withdrawn his candidacy film out of paris following the leak of a compromising video of the german group whose decision to drop out of the race represents a major blow to him i know micron hes spotty suffering a crisis of confidence going into next months local election shoulda driven ski has the details. Well the dissemination of these incredibly videos and photos has resulted in that shock announcement by Benjamin Claiborne Benjamin Cleaver one of maque wants closest allies and he hasnt authenticated those videos but it is being reported in the french media that he did recognize them as being authentic and thats why he was drew his candidature so quickly lets have a listen to what he said. When i announced my candidacy for mayor of paris i knew how harsh political life was for every year my family and i have been subjected to defamatory statements lies anonymous attacks the release of private conversations and death rows yesterday it reached a new level when an internet site relay despicable attacks calling my private life into question with a reaction to those videos and photographs has been largely supportive towards Benjamin Cleaver and that comes from across the political spectrum its even support coming from those who were opposing him in that race here in paris including one from former on the move m. P. Set of a cfi yanni now said to be only whats quite interesting about him is he wanted to be the candidate for my quince party here in paris he lost out to benjamin clean as a result he decided that he was going to become an independent and by doing that cause massive friction imac wants party and ended up being chucked out in the last few weeks this comes at a time when weve got those elections next month back want to party is not looking like its going to do particularly too well many is seeing next months elections as being a test for mark on a referendum on his policies particularly some of those that have been unpopular such as the pension reform which has caused huge protests here in paris over the last months now much kong was really eyeing the prize of winning that election here in paris and thats why he wanted one of his closest allies a spoon the Spokes Person to be the candidates. For the party to win that one here in paris would it be very big. This is going to be deeply embarrassing not just for the party but for himself the party will of course choose another candidate or that selection but in reality many will be questioning it down which has already been done. Just. More news coming up just after this short break with us on r. T. International. We know in psychology that the more people are told that they cant or shouldnt do something whether its sexual or otherwise the more it makes them want to do so trying new things violating taboos are some of the most common in pervasive elements in our sexual fantasies. Keyser one more in my guide to financial survival this is. A device used by professional scallywags to earn money. Thats right these hedge funds are simply not accountable and were just getting more and more to the. Totally destabilize the Global Economy you need to protect yourself and get in for. The program the u. K. Prime minister is reportedly postponed a trip to the divided states to meet with donald trump as tensions increase between london and washington its now believed Boris Johnson wont meet the american president until jews g. 7 summit. Much has been made for many decades about the special relationship between the u. K. And the u. S. However in recent months it has become increasingly strained on issues such as the involvement of the Chinese Tech Firm why weigh in rolling out the u. K. s 5 g. 2 tensions in iran following the murder of gen so they money and now a wretch to see that unity in the house of commons to the outgoing the opposition Jeremy Corbyn the Prime Minister Boris Johnson agree that the extradition treaty between the u. K. And the us are simply too one sided in americas favor while the us continues to deny justice to harry done will the Prime Minister commit today to seek an equal and balance extradition relationship with the United States Prime Minister mr speaker i to be frank i think the honorable gentleman has a point in his characterization of our extradition arrangements with the United States and i do think that there is a there are elements of that relationship that are on balance why certain i certainly think that it is worth looking at now all of this comes in the background of the ongoing row over and secure lass who is the wife of a Us Intelligence agent who has been accused of killing a 19 year old man harry done in a hit and run driving accident she was said to be driving on the wrong side of the road when the incident took place a report since coming out that she herself is also the cia agent as well now she used Diplomatic Community especially that of a husband to flee the country and hasnt returned since and police have charged her with death by dangerous driving however as far as the Us State Department are concerned they have no intention of sending her back here to face those accusations it is the position of the United States government that a request to extradite an individual under these circumstances would be an abuse the use of an extradition treaty to attempt to. Turned the spouse of a former diplomats by force would establish an extraordinarily troubling precedent so with President Trump seemingly angry at johnson to the point that hes slamming the phone down on the british Prime Minister who himself will be desperate to strike some kind of trade deal between the you can the u. S. Post brags that it would appear ever clearer that that special relationship is just a one sided one we spoke to the dunn the family lawyer rod is eager and keith pursed the former chief executive of the u. K. S Immigration Advisory Service about the nature of british u. S. Relations. There has been a special relationship between the 2 countries for a long long time and we all enjoyed that relationship and are glad for it but there is really only one country that is behaving like an ally at the moment and thats the United Kingdom because it complies with the extradition treaty. Almost all the time at the moment the the way the treaty is written is that the United Kingdom must extradite people to the United States when its requested but the treaty reserves the americans right to have discretion so the americans may send somebody back to United Kingdom must im afraid the family feel that america is putting itself 1st and is trying to bully the United Kingdom into ignoring this catastrophic collision which i didnt carry guns like weve moved into an era of hardball rather than softball in dealing with the United States and thats partly the character of the present president of the United States soon if hes prepared to slam the phone down on our Prime Minister clearly shows that he can let his own personal anger get in the way of good relations and thats not particularly helpful so i think we have to go into that continued relationship with the United States with very wide open and very great kefir iroh national interests. University of virginia in the u. S. As coming from a shop criticism online off to one of his students claim to many white people were using a Multicultural Community center on campus a video of the incident was posted to social media where its gotten nearly 4000000 views. Probably there just too many white people in here this is things are people of color so lets be really harmless they are the space that youre taking because it does make some of us feel seem comfortable when you see too many waiting one here. Imagine if a white person stood up and announced there were too many black people in the room and they make other white people uncomfortable how is this not considered traces. To many white people so this is why so many of our ancestors fought and died for freedom and equality just so we can have a blacks only area really the whole point of multiculturalism is for diversity that includes all cultures but the university of virginias new Multicultural Student Center is apparently just for people of color thats not multiculturalism thats racism all the center was open in late 26 thing with a view to supporting unproven represented and marginalized communities by providing a collaborative space conservative students though have said the video documents a clear case of racial intolerance forcing the university to clarify that everyone is welcome at the facility is some reaction have been getting to this from a legal commentator Horace Cooper and political and social commentator brian logan. The video was crazy but what is so is to me is that multicultural just means quote unquote people of color now why is it doesnt really mean cultures which i would think that it means it should be a space for everybody in college but it is not really seemed to be that way at least to some students that were right there in the center even if it were not a Multicultural Center and it were less a black area or an asian area or an expanding area you see a b. Star and so exclude certain people everybody should be welcome in these particular spaces of cuckoos we say because d if youre not welcomed them are going back to time in a pass of segregation and jim crow and separation and i dont think we want to go backwards in time we want to go forwards into if you want to have a place where people learn to be more tolerant one of the key ams of such a place is supposed to be explaining everyone can come here and everyone is going to be tolerated it apparently is the case that not just this center but the university communicated that there are places that are preferred for some racial groups over other racial groups and that is in fact not a marketing problem not a language problem but a fundamental rejection of what our country stands for every american is local regardless of their racial group and as long as the u. P. A. Is a taxpayer funded institution it not only must adhere to that it ought to be championing that. Up next ron paul joins larry king talking trumps Foreign Policy center that was all on the 2020 president ial race could tell its going to be and often ill bring you the latest global userland. In his community there are people who believe that its ok this other action we dont like its really hard there are no jobs and you see that kids ask heat and as a parent. I can come up with a logical argument theres a lot of conflict within the game and between the teams most of the conflict i would say overall is around money and most of their money is made. Close one on each other just the seen on each other this could be just the state of california alone to make 6000000000. 00 a year of the prison complex just to get some point in your life where.

In a world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the death. Or a mate in the shallowness. He says the democrats are complacent and donald trump is the most egregious abuse of power were going to find out why as i go one on one with ron paul on this issue. Of the politicking on larry king my guest today is ron paul former republican congressman from texas he made 3 bids for the white house twice as a republican once as the Libertarian Party president ial nominee and hes host of the Ron Paul Liberty report me joins us from lake jackson texas in an opinion piece this week you wrote the democrats have a lot Donald Trumps real abuse of power which is overseas aggression one of the lab. Yes and i think its a bipartisan problem that we face because i think the Foreign Policy unfortunately is shared by both parties and they deal with other things for political reasons and the point i was making in this one and addressing donald trump was what went on in syria you know when there was some gassing down and and people said assad is bad guys in his own people and in trump sent 100 missiles then into syria and lo and behold after a couple years of investigation and finding out that it was it was it was all fake. That the government didnt do that. There was people trying to cause a red flag and try to blame it you know on the government and they got caught at it but it took 3 years later but that generally has happened you know regardless of which party is in power theyre always finding the excuses so that the people will go along with it so people went along with trump and yet that was an act of war but both in the Neither Party says a word that republicans are going to say anything but democrats saying they found other things that we found to be maybe existing to some degree but rather minor in nature compared to unleashing bombs on people without authority and doing it on their own thats executive Branch Government out of control do you buy that old theory of the biz not a lot of difference between both parties. I dont i dont think theres very very much difference i think its personality is seeking power but when it comes to important thing i think they agree very much i was just looking at you know the budget that came out today and look to find out last year well it was on december 20th of last year they paused in the impeachment hearings to bipartisan agreement to this you know huge huge expenditure bill so they get together when they have to have to do it and basically you know they didnt complain about trumps aggressive Foreign Policy and republicans are really complain that much when when obama was doing this so the foreign policies are are shared Monetary Policy has to be shared because they both in sort. Of poor deficit financing whether its for domestic reason or international reasons reasons so its something that they get along with on the big issues but right now theres a lot of vitriol out the air because its almost a fight over who gets the power to make these decisions the policies arent on the table for discussion and thats rather frustrating for you know a Good Progress that
