Transcripts For RT Watching The Hawks 20240713

Loop grab perpetrated by the United States bedroom government has of correspondents way back home yes multiple state officials and local Health Groups from massachusetts to illinois to texas have been sounding the alarm that various federal agencies have been scooping up shipments of personal protective equipment and other valuable medical supplies for quite some time now according to a letter published in the new england journal of medicine by a medical doctor andrew artin steen with the Bay State Health of massachusetts 1st up their spending valuable time just trying to convince the f. B. I. Not to confiscate his shipment of k n 95 respirators and face masks he was then soon shocked to learn that the department of Homeland Security was still considering redirecting his p. P. L. Only some quick some quick calls leading to intervention by our congressional representative prevented its seizure others my friends have not been so lucky remember back in march Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker revealed that a shipment of 3000000 masks were seized by federal authorities and then later at the beginning of april in new jersey freeholder director Chanelle Robinson announced that a shipment of 35000 masts had been scooped up also by federal officials these actions by the fed seemed to fly in the face of the great brand name in chief u. S. President Donald Trumps continued orders from up on high for states to be responsible for securing their own medical supplies and not reliant on the federal government. What how can you do that donald when the federal government keeps out bathing or outright stealing from them with no real explanations as to why sounds like a good time to start watching the hawks before you know the feds come confiscate all of us. Whats going on a city street. There so you can see that this is joyce state. Rice grace see this least systemic deception is complete show which. So youll. Welcome everyone to watching the hawks i am i robot interisland so major they are just snatch and grab and all across the country now for the last 2 months or so absolutely and the 1016 really crazy but when you see it in action its a whole different level governors are trying to protect their their p. P. Equipment trying to make sure that they have what they need especially those in blue states because the President Trump has announced that hes really not trying to help them and and i think that you know what were seeing happen in real time is something that we havent seen in this country before especially not in pain dimmick times and. And even in my home state of illinois weve seen j. B. Pritzker actually announced that he was not going to share any information it was that something that was leaked but he definitely wanted to make sure the illinois residents were protected and he knew that he couldnt count on the federal government so he actually got supplies from china and thinker and they were secretly flown into the state to make sure that the Top Administration wouldnt compensate them thats incredible would you have governors like secretly flying in supplies just to keep the feds from from stealing them and then the crazy thing is is that the feds havent given really many good reasons as to why theyre doing it they still when confronted its kind of like well you know all to mentally the state got what it needed to over here after the fact or whatever even confronted at the International Level as to why were suddenly scooping up as we kind of dont really get any solid answers at least i havent seen any of the research that i was doing today in the trying to find a good answer from the feds no were absolutely not getting those answers and we the other problem is that the federal government has pushed back in many times that the requests that the states are having so remember of the later request that came from new york all of a sudden we hear no they dont need those ventilators they dont need this p. P. Equipment somebody somehow is at these hospitals p. P. Equipment so they want to deny those requests so what does that leave states to do other than to try and find this stuff on their own and the problem is the states dont get the luxury of the federal government they cant create money to buy things they cant just go to the fed and print to subsume more money you know the states cant do that they cant deficit spend its a lot of times in their various state state constitutions that they can do that so theyre dependent so when theyre being outbid or having to outbid the or other countries or whoever thats all coming out of that state budget that they cant get back you know and thats whats really bad colorado was in the process of buying ventilators when fema swooped in with them and just took them away governor jared polis declared either be in or out either let us know what were going to get and when were going to get them or stay out and let us buy them. Cant play both sides and thats exactly what trump and the federal Government Congress and all them are doing right now because no one has put a stop to it and the governors have spoken about this and theyve sounded you know loudly that they are not in a position to compete with the federal government in the open market for the reasons that you just stated you know and journalist david wall as well as actually wrote new York Magazine he really kind of sum this up i think really good in that article he said we dont know where these supplies are going we dont know on what grounds they are being seized or threatened with seizure in the absence of an explanation its hard to come to any conclusion other than that this is simply a mafia government exerting control for the sake of control and that is a scary thought in a time of crisis that thats how far this country is fallen and that we have no real requests what happens when the government is actually the federal government is actually putting the states in a very tough spot because theyre not supplying this material to them at all theyre ignoring the requests theyre ignoring the requests for funding as well and the states have to go on their own but now you know the federal government is jumping in and stealing things from them as well as some other countries you know what for those of liberty and the like you know for those of the liberty of those who lean on the right and go republican this is something that you should be up in arms over this is something that you should be screaming at donald trump and congress and i will say why are you doing this the fed should not be coming in and doing this whatsoever im a states rights person you know where are those people sounding off against this im out here and im get out there let them know this is not good they choose their protests the thumb they chose the wrong one this is very true. While kobe 1000 tests remain in short supply and funding for virus treatment is dismal at best President Trump and conservative activists across the country want to open america a. S. A. P. And who better to keep help carry the message and told the line than chumps favorite crony attorney general bill barr falling under the weight of his ill informed commander in chief and crazed conservative activist barr is now threatening legal action against state governors the attorney general of the United States. Is willing and ready to encourage enjoying lawsuits brought on by upset citizens over the business restrictions put in place to save their lives meanwhile the Chip Administration refuses to accept its all culpability in ignoring corona virus alerts from the World Health Organization china doctors and scientists leaving america behind in preparedness and relief but rest assured trump found someone to blame china and the president s minions in conservative states followed his lead Missouri Attorney general eric schmidt filed a lawsuit against the Chinese Government tuesday accusing them of lying and covering up the coronavirus we might be in for the longest election cycle ever as the blame game for corona virus and economic fallout its caused rages on joining us now is our team america correspondent. Thanks for having me guys always love coming on always a pleasure. So what is this lawsuit and why now so its interesting so as you mentioned. Her attorney general eric schmidt he is leading this case after talking with economists at the university of missouri where the state is actually looking to get upwards of 44000000000. 00 now missouri is the 1st state to file against china and to seek damages in this way and it could be the 1st of the many states doing this now according to the lawsuit it reads quote during the critical weeks of the initial outbreak chinese authorities deceive the public suppressed crucial information arrested whistleblowers tonight human to human transmission destroyed medical research had millions exposed to the virus and hoarded protective equipment causing a Global Pandemic that was preventable now today the Chinese Government called missouris lawsuit absolutely absurd saying that its purely malicious violates basic legal principles and that the Chinese Government has sovereign immunity because you cant sue an entire country now this lawsuit will face a number of a pole battles because of that but the missouri a. G. Says that hes already one step ahead of this arguing that the Chinese Communist party is a nonstate actor and that is what gives him the legal argument that they can sue china because the United States loves its frivolous lawsuits. It was a steve 1st of many lawsuits coming down the pipe great question tyrrell and you know what actually it was announced this afternoon that at the time of this broadcast the mississippi will actually be also filing a lawsuit their states attorney general saying that they too have suffered because of this outbreak but now you also have both missouri and mississippi say geez theyre calling on their states congressional delegations to back a new bill put out by republicans tom cotton and dan crenshaw that would amend the foreign sovereign immunity as act to create this narrow exception and to allow people to actually sue china people suing china now this bill is modeled after the justice to get sponsors of terrorism act which allow. Americans to file civil claims against a foreign state for any injuries or death and that was passed 4 years ago with 97 of the 100 senators saying yes to it. Thats a lot of attorney attorney generals and lawsuits you now have bill barr saying d. O. J. Is looking into suing state governors right and this is actually interesting because this is all over the clashes between President Donald Trump as you mentioned trying to open up the states and the state governors saying no and how kind of to respond to the whole coronavirus most of it you know with most if not all states are on lockdown and both trump and barr say that businesses they need to have more freedom to operate and trump says that some governors have gone just way too far actually even accusing governors of keeping their people on quote house arrest now we have the cd see who is as far as we thats who we look to as far as you know seeing this research and one thats going to peak as far as this outbreak but theres a new surprising coming out that its a for a form of National Defense scientists at the Los Alamos Lab in new mexico now these scientists they consistently beat the c. D. C. When it comes to forecasting Infectious Diseases in particular like the bird flu ebola unfortunately these scientists go all the way down to the hour of when a virus is at its peak for new york state alone the forecast says that there is only a 60 percent chance that infectious infections have peaked and they also forecast that major populated states could be on this quote house arrest all the way until the end of 2020 theyre even forecasting you know schools are going to open this fall so it will be interesting were in for the overall you know its interesting to look at the chinese lawsuit there just to touch that really quick but i am fine if we were going to have the ability to sue other countries than the United States we cannot we we have to allow other countries to sue us for our actions while we can and you know we cant have it both ways we cant be good oh ok you know but if the iraqis bring a lawsuit against us for all we do. In the iraq war no no no no no no were not going to consent to that you know i mean you know its absolutely ridiculous but man alive really more lawsuits thats whats going to solve this problem and you know whats interesting is that you know china has come out saying that there is absolutely no way with these allegations the w. H. O. You know they could actually take china to the International Court of justice but heres the cabbie out here people you have to consent to go to court whos going to want to consent to go to court you know youve got a traffic ticket and they say get it to court me show you can be like really have to go thats kind of the old think its also them to is its like im tired of the scapegoating you cant hold china accountable for our employers structure failure you cant hold china accountable that are you know Health Care Industry was a mess that our economy was a mess that all of these things were a mess that then led us to the state that were in today you cant hold them accountable our initial really slow response to that too is that the Intelligence Community and many other people had said even the americans working at the show said even all the way back in november that they were telling us of the schools and congress that hey this thing could be coming down the pike might want to prepare for it and speaking of coming down the pipe you know not just these states and possibly the idea of you know american citizens suing china you also have germany now that is wanting to file suit against china for all their wrongdoing and theyre asking for 162000000000. 00 and its kind of one of these things again china has to consent so is it going to be dead on arrival most likely yes you know its going to be hard to bring a lawsuit dont want to thank you as always for coming on is it always a pleasure all right as we go to break remember that you can also start watching the hawks on demand through the brand new portable t.

Coming up here on watching the hawks it appears that there was always time to rattle a few sabers for war and former cia agent whistle blower John Kiriakou joins us next to discuss what could be the next big u. S. War during the pandemic stay tuned to watch and. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in. This very Dramatic Development only mostly im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. It out im fascinated by is bad Consumer Protection labels that you find out cigarette 35 household cleaning substances dont apply to Financial Products even though they should because many of them are hazardous to your health because theyre poorly constructed and theyre full of toxic. People birth. Going to get it. Walking into the word dont we no longer know what were walking into. On march. All right earlier in the show we were discussing the recent protests popping up across the United States over the covert 9 teams stay at home and the social distance distancing orders and how the motivation by many of those protests were a direct result of the manipulation of the u. S. Populace is fear of tyranny and loss of liberty and will stay at home mothers and social distancing for the safety of the community are not and should not be cause for constitutional concern that doesnt mean citizen should not remain vigilant in their protection of their most basic of rights in a time of crisis taking our eye off that ball is how we got stuck with constitutional shredding laws like those found in the patriot act and that is why many are starting to raise the alarm over the potential use of u. S. Military personnel here at home in the battle against this virus newsweek reported recently that the u. S. Military is preparing forces to assume a larger role in the Coronavirus Response including the Controversial Mission of quelling civil disturbances and then forcing the law a mission that the military has not engaged in for almost 30 years joining us now to discuss the dangers of deploying the u. S. Military here at home in a time of crisis is not for freeman a member of the Coordinator Committee for the black alliance for peace and thats always a pleasure having you on sir thank you its always a pleasure to be so i want to start with just give people an idea of what are the major potential dangers found in using the u. S. Military not just the National Guard which is under control of state governors but the u. S. Military army maybe air force in operation with domestically during a time of crisis. These are people who are pretty much training as to come from enemy combatants as you well know really thinking thinking that or being trained dentists to have the disposition of the people that theyre fighting or confronting are less worthy of humanity or life and liberty and so when you put that on the street and i again we have to remember that in the United States for its it was colonized people black and brown working class people already you know who are under a Police State Situation so that the danger in what you asked are you describing is it that we can there will be combining the mentality that is fostered in military training to fight socalled the terrorists in whatever you need before you speak communist and people who are not as worthy combining that with the sort of inherent. Racists attitudes in class attitudes of the u. S. With its force that is a very diverse cocktail. That has there been any past examples where the u. S. Military would use domestically at a time of crisis and is there is this story of president s for that kind of the point. Theres been a few and yes. We can look at it its a few katrina hurricane jeanne and when that happened there was a number of people who were scrambling for survival and having to scramble and get whatever they could and the military was sent in there and then if you people some people may not remember how old people are but we used to see in the mill in the media. Reports of people called looting in ventilating when you really talked about a dire situation people really just trying to scramble for whatever they could to deliver survive and in that instance if they were really cruel and it came had to come out later instances of people being x. Just you killed a lot of brutalized by both police and military on them in one instance it was a man who was shot in the back and then they proceed to kick him several times and. Then another other instances are going the right making is that there were people who. You know of the east Pressure Cooker was off after the beating of rodney king and a lot of the verdicts were really on people felt they didnt like the verdict so it was that there were rebellions we call everybody instead of rice because people weve barely over centuries of Police Brutality not incident but in that instance they also brought the National Guard in they were there were fatalities in terms of those exchanges and then during the same 3000000 joined dr king when dr king was assassinated the same thing happen and there were also fatalities due to you know the police in the in the military mix and that and we you know black and brown people get the worst end of those. That mix its scary because you see the idea being floated out of a common. Language of the media and with more than a good healthy percent of the new York City Police Department Officers recently reported. In the numbers like over 15 and even Higher Police absentee rates elsewhere an opinion piece in the Washington Post to pick a good about how active u. S. Military members could potentially fill the room those roles of the police writing quote they might need to backstop in back to a Police Forces in a hard hit communities might soon need major assistance with patrolling the restraint streets and forcing restrictions on movement to deter any crime and other tasks there this is this is pretty unbelievable language do you believe that this could actually be a realistic possibility given the current state of the country to the days this something that we could see. Oh i think theres no one there talking about it and i think the Washington Post piece you were talking about was coauthored by 3 people and they were they were it was that of they make themselves the Police Department i think it was a new York City Police and they were all from theyre all now arent working so people are consistent you people the u. S. Army i think it was a couple of repetition in the u. S. I was about 3 ethics 3 people who are authors in that in that. Article and what theyre anticipating and i think theres also historical precedent and that and move we need to remember that the. There he values after the in the 1960 death the dr king they didnt really report they didnt write reports every now and then the. Pizza trying to figure out the root causes and how to deal with riots or maybe avoid them and there was a kind of chemistry 968 and still one of the things that it showed and it was pretty i think certainly done report was the title civil unrest that we could see the type of dissatisfaction with basic things that we now know are going to be. Are going to be. Costs. Were going to look at 32 percent the top of the difference in the 30 percent Unemployment Rate the biggest ever seen since the great Great Depression theyre still actually of food because of that the supply of food going to be disrupted because of because of the cold in 1000. 00 in the social distancing in people being out of work the system the capitalist system and we have to treat it as a debt is not designed because we dont see that same outcome with the same situation another place that is not designed to handle the type of thing or not designed to create thought of cooperation that is needed even on that on the domestic level where other countries people are people are involved in organizing prostitutes and a lot of east. Certain sayings and events to be able to manage things on in a way that dont make sense here is that theyre going to go to the supermarket maybe more distance rigidly dispassion things off as it appears or. Their powers that be are seen in a straight to the status quo or people are seen that the biggest fish is east of the net into the capitalism and they dont walk that has become even more formidable so will they not instead of feeding people instead of hostility towards the regime for the us response to this but its not for us that they dont know they dont want it for themselves but they cant last because it was against capitalism so their response would be seen to the military and the police to try to quell dissent well basically whatever we got good for salute you out there are going to iowa nurses were emerging through the barriers about kind of operating sort of where i was coming i dont know if everyone i was closer. To. When i was growing up my they are always going to be dinner that side of the carrots leave was that you get older youre going to need them because youre right i go get a king when i want to something age related Macular Degeneration a better 11000000 people believe us and thats 196000000 worldwide sadly aside from changing the perceptions of the surgeons with a little more time improving the possibilities not much can be done to save your eyesight until now in a new paper published finding Researchers Show innovation in a treatment age related linus in mice in the study convertible receptors were transplanted into the eyes of a 14 blind mice to see if they could resist the what is it and it worked the process animals creating replacement boards that are as near a product of a logical comparison its cheaper better and inoperable by ethical or legal or things can be really poor we sell to reverse entirely that this is an iteration is a marmar will that.
