A coup that toppled president. Hello there you watching r. T. International this thursday morning which just gone 10 oclock in moscow now protesters chanting black lives matter slogans of seize control and barricaded themselves into 6 blocks of central seattle they are calling the area the capitol hill autonomy and their move came after police retreated from the neighborhood by hundreds of demonstrators led by the Seattle City Council have all said walkie pied the city hall. The. Protesters are demanding the resignation of the citys mayor and for the police to be defunded their main goal is to build a Community Inside the banks beliefs some of those holed up inside the city hall claim the community and not politicians should control Decision Making of the capital thomas own or chairs is a self declared commune aside from black lives matter activists is claimed the answer for movement also helped to set up the zone although theres been no official acknowledgement of its involvement no police or cars are allowed into the area and reports suggest that some of those inside the zone are armed online theres been a mixed response to the comic. President trump meanwhile has demanded your new order in seattle he also called out those he fell to responsible saying all this is happened in a radical left Democratic State but the concept of no no order has been on the lips of both republican and democrat president s for more than 5 decades. Law and order perhaps more familiar as the popular t. V. Show you running for 3 decades already law and order. But also exactly whats triggered nationwide protests across the United States. Thats the. Law and order is the 1st responsibility of government dont send people up there that come home and talk tough on law and order and crime and then go back and vote some other way are they were allowed to go on to merely a symbol of law and order a policeman on the campus and that was the moment when the ringleaders should have been taken by the scruff of the neck untrue and out of the university one. By law and order i mean order for everyone weve got to reestablish respect for law respect for law and order a concept thats existed since the Founding Fathers the catch phrase that helped take Richard Nixon to the white house during mass civil unrest and race riots. Around 200 people died back then in clashes Martin Luther king was assassinated so waving in a new era for society nixon proposed an agenda in which Police Powers were about to increase in 1968 the green light was given for the use of stop and search and powers have expanded since in new york it became infamous stops dramatically increasing under mayor Michael Bloomberg in the 2 thousands but it raised a key issue racial prejudice during. The peak of the program more than half of the people stopped to a black but the black community made up just over one quarter of new yorks population stop and 1st started at new york philadelphia. Calif this serving its 1st stop its a day at least. As new ways to keep order were introduced laws became tougher since 1928 states have adopted some form of whats known as the 3 strike practice it meant lengthy sentences for repeat offenders even life behind bars the policy came in as the war on drugs peaked which raised further questions of racial targeting at the turn of the century more than half of all inmates serving time for drug offenses in state prisons were black 3 years ago it was still around 30 percent despite any being 13 percent of the population as a whole with both Police Powers and sentencing increased prison numbers skyrocketed there are more black people than any other racial Group Behind Bars in america something that has not changed under bill Clinton George bush or barack obama for every 100000 people in the u. S. Sentences for black people a 5 times higher than whites. So law and order it was a response to rioting like the unrest ravaging the United States from coast to coast in 2020 provoked by Police Actions that happened in los angeles and 92. 00 after the beating of rodney king by the authorities it happened after the 2014 shooting of Michael Brown in ferguson a year later in baltimore with the death of freddie gray. In the last 5 years on record the number of those fatally shot by the police per 1000000 people is high. They are among blacks than any other ethnicity and now history is repeating itself yet another Police Related death has provoked unrest and again triggered discussion on black rights so as we look back on whats unfolded since nixon and his slogan in the sixtys donald trump has reassured the nation now saying i am your president of law and order or trumps the mans for law and order to come at a time when police in the us to becoming increasingly militarized many forces now boast the kind of hardware previously only seen in frontline combat abroad as more. Predator drones are a staple of u. S. Foreign policy they have been used in afghanistan pakistan bosnia serbia yemen iraq syria somalia and now minneapolis though the protesters didnt see it it was flying over their heads in order to help federal officials gain situation awareness and go reports indicate it was an armed people are angry and afraid the deployment of drones and offices to surveil protests is a gross abuse of authority and its particularly issuing when they used against americans who are protesting Law Enforcement brutality it appears that the war on terror has come home the mine resistant ambush protected vehicles built by the u. S. Military to stand attacks in iraq have been rolling down american streets as well the 1033 Program Allows the u. S. Military to provide local Police Departments with weapons local police can order weapons like remade launchers automatic rifles and bayonets as well as body armor robots aircraft watercraft and survey one strongs these are Defense Department products deemed to be excessive old or surplus 7400000000. 00 worth of Defense Department property has been provided to over 8000. 00 different Law Enforcement agencies by the 1033 program ex new york city mayor Michael Bloomberg once referred to the new York City Police department saying i have my own army and the n. Y. P. D. The 7th largest army in the world well with lots of military equipment the n. Y. P. D. Certainly does seem like an army of iraq obama rolled back the program after the ferguson protests and National Outrage about the militarization of police. 7 back in. However trump has ruled by the program now many are asking the question why does the department of defense have so much excess gear that it needs to unload anyway the u. S. Has been involved in so many words that they become occupations and the military is as developed techniques were operating as an Occupying Army and theyve brought this home they brought the war home after they made by these things and the military you know uses some of them they become surplus or if they dont buy of them all you know the military orders a certain number and then theyd back out of buying some of it so a lot of the stuff sitting in military warehouses and so they want to get rid of them and basically Congress Passed a law saying that these things are to be given to Police Departments so we have the ridiculous situation where small towns are being given em wraps theyre totally impractical they dont make any sense theyre terribly intimidating though. And thats part of the purpose i guess for years americans have been told that the military budget is necessary to keep them safe and protect them from bad actors around the world but its starting to look like the bad guys these weapons are intended to be used against our a lot closer to home the very people whose tax dollars pay for them it will mop and artsy new york without a merican spoke with the former minnesota governor Jesse Ventura that the place becoming more heavily on. Why do cops now look Like Star Wars commandos i mean when they come out and you look at them they dont look like your friend they look like an Occupying Military today not only that i was driving down minnesota a year or 2 ago and i saw the freeway this big black vehicle looked like it belonged to our rack and i pulled alongside him and said mr soldier state Highway Department this thing was unbelievable i mean it was it was a combat military machine we need to get that stuff out of our Police Forces we do i was in the philippines when Ferdinand Marcos declared martial law i was physically there and there were military of every corner with machine guns lets not do that. Protests on just about confronting racism in modern society there are also a battle links to it in the past in the u. K. For example statues to slavery being toned than while there are calls to the famous galleries to be renamed but things to colonial history does run deep throughout europe in paris for instance around 200. 00 streets that take their names from such links takes on a toll of some of the most controversial. Harris the city of light yet could the shadow of frances past be about to demand that as protesters across the world are demanding that monuments and statues of historical figures with links to the slave trade and colonialism are pulled down how could that play out here well to start with the city would have a lot of renaming to do some 200 ave streets in squares all have a colonial reference take this one call seems pretty innocuous right minister over the 14th but you only have to scratch the surface to find out that the man its named after is accused of drawing up the code you are now in laymans terms that the legislation that not only defined the conditions of slavery in french colonies but it also restricted the activities of black people who were free and what about this were causalities named of a distinguished french general but there was little to let you know that he also once was head of her sleeve owning plantation and took part in france this brutal subjugation of algeria better scrub that one off to hold her was as you all a just and a physiologist hes credited for his publications which showed that oxygen could be toxic to some insects and animals now im not only is this street name dog to him but so too are some of the big stories of the cafes here so he must be good right though it seems his theories on race were even more toxic than the air that we read Hebrew School textbooks used until the 1930 s. Which claimed that white people were not only superior but also more intelligent than black Chinese People perhaps we could just rename this street appalling bird. Now this is. One of my favorite streets in paris it is teeming with busy cafes and future ops and it would take you weeks to ease your way through here but then theres this. As you can see its already been targeted by someone who was less than happy with it being in plain view and then theres the p. S. To his the stalls napoleon the bonaparte monuments in paris just like this one in front of the moves are littered with his image hes possibly the most famous and celebrated frenchman in history but the former emperor has a checkered past and no im not just talking about the defeat to siena which by the way has become a word in front synonymous with the proverbial poop hitting the fan napoleon the bonaparte not only invaded and plundered countries like egypt and syria he also restored slavery in the caribbean a whole 8 years after itd be abolished by france what about raising dams this monument to the little corporals victories but thats going to be a tough sell changing of the street names or even taking down the monuments may be easy a token of recognition but much more difficult is to raise the entire colonial history of a country like france a history that is weve roused a city like this in paris instead some argue that we shouldnt change anything and instead educate people about the misdeeds of long praised who also had a long and dark list of transgressions even oxy errors. Now the New York Times says that it does admit there were major flaws in the key report into fraud during last years believe elections. Tribute to a king that will have the details just stuff but the. Point is now made it to the gates of the central bank in the chaos just like of course apocalypse now was a remake of part of the dark best really reflects the chaos of the insanity of the vietnam war americas part of darkness americas plunge into imperialistic insanity by spending billions to. Really nothing vital interest but spending billions and trillions to get there were a repeat of the insanity on a much more epic scale. Destruction of nature connected to these. Theres a lesson. We need to be listening were also going to repeat this over and over if you continue to destroy the law. And we. Welcome back with the New York Times a surprise many of its readers with you to having previously back to keep reporting to fraud during last years believe in the elections it now says those findings were actually incorrect but it was that very report which triggered a coup in bolivia told putting the reelected president evo morales recounts the if its like. Forget who sions 11 or the italian job this was Something Else they didnt rob a bank or a casino vault this heist was so much more ambitious they stole an entire election without forging a single vote see if you can figure out who the robbers were as we start from the very beginning of this heist the oas mission expresses its deep concern and surprise at the drastic and hard to justify change in the trend of the preliminary results known after the polls closed just as vote counting ended the oas the organization of american states which monitors the elections came out and cried foul allegedly incumbent president evo morales was getting too many votes too fast which was too good to be true that was all the opposition needed to hear. What followed was just shy of a civil war a military coup the incumbent president was forced to resign to flee with his family to mexico and an unelected far right woman white and reach takes power indigenous bolivians scared they knew what life is like and minority white rule which is why they elected morale is indigenous himself 3 times in a row but the oas segments the coup by issuing a final report on the election the conclusion is that there was international manipulation and serious irregularities that make it impossible to validate the results originally issued by the believe intellectual authorities who do you think did it do with the proverbial robbers was it evil morales the hugely popular president running for his 4th term and. Leading by 10 percent of the vote was that the opposition who were so far behind that their only chance was to spoil the election was in a foreign power someone who wanted morale is gone the United States applauds believe in people for demanding freedom and believe in military abiding by its oath to protect not just a Single Person but believe me as constitution it was none of the the robbers those who stole the election the mosques will carry guns they held clipboards in the skies themselves as election monitors it was ingenious who would expect an election monitors to essentially falsify fraud its like the police robbing a bank unthinkable but thats what they did remember when they claim that morality got too many votes too fast and it all but had to be frugal turns out didnt have to be fraud they just changed the graphs and played with the data to make it seem that way we revisit the evidence finding that the jump does not exist a secular trend explains that within precinct results and we can predict that both 7 40 pm results almost exactly using data from the previous poll which they were going ization of american states indorsed this isnt news back in december academics and statistics rang the alarm saying that the oas wasnt being entirely accurate truthful essentially the election monitors were either incompetent by jumping to the wrong conclusions or malicious by manipulating data either way the result was a military coup and people have been calling for months for an apology in fact it is easy to show with election data which is publicly available that the change in marlice is lead was neither drastic nor hard to explain we call upon the oas to retract its misleading statements about the election which have contributed to the political conflict and served as well. Of the most use just a few cations for the military coup so why isnt this a matter of Public Knowledge why arent people outraged well that was taken care of by the media which essentially then dusted the robbers traps the media misled millions by jumping the gun and essentially laying it all on morales look at the New York Times then burying morality his presidency versus the New York Times now a close look at believing election data suggests an initial analysis by the oas that raised questions of vote rigging and helped force and the president was fluent the oas by the way is to stink champagne a c. They now claim there were so many irregularities that new one could find the truth youre doing a statistical exercise on documents that are falsified the question is not whether the false numbers add up the question is whether the force or not and the its like the movie inception you know a dream within a dream within a dream except in this case its apparently election monitoring fraud inside made up statistics inside thick grass and at the end of the day bravo ladies and gentlemen the oas an organization mostly funded by the United States you may be surprised to hear virtually stolen elections sparking a military coup and got rid of a leader that the United States didnt like without falsifying a single vote now that is a heist but arent ghastlier there were professor of latin american studies at the City University of new york Daniel Schorr believes the u. S. Media always vilifies nationalist leaders that washington find it difficult to control. The media always does is the media demonizes vilified as it will want to alices the Khadafi Daniel day. Fidel castros mugabe in zimbabwe they completely vilify these nationalist leaders who they cannot control and that becomes a headline that this film feed the American People for months and months and months building up towards the cruise the invasions the occupations and then once they have a bolivia or a libya. Back quote unquote under control and one sides functioning is us near new york only we never hear about their country again and thats the same blueprint that theyve used over and over so theres no reason to think that theyre going to walk back anything in terms of their misreporting on bolivia months ago begin to constrain you to try to recall an eis bolivia with their eyes towards an electoral cool instant sound or if necessary.
