More on his legacy was consequential than shaping canada as economic and social future. To me it was a conservative, but he was what we call in canada, a progressive conservative, socially liberal estimate, conservative. James things, great deal piece all the way up to signing a free trade 5 United States long before it was absolutely necessary to do so. The canadian left the coast at the bottom. I dont know when he went on the canadian left really big things that in retrospect, it was a bad idea. And he also thought Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher were too Close Friends on a part time. They didnt want sanctions imposed on part of south africa. Right. More money did. And back them dollar piece came out on the right side. The history of Nelson Mandela was released from prison. I one of his 1st trips in gratitude in most to canada to check bryan maloney. So theres not much question that he stands over the canadian history and certainly she, it was a different kind of to ensure that exists today. The, the, the mean spirited us that exist today was not in the nation, was able to leave any ology at the office. As i say, im an awful lot of people back in his day disliked him. I dont see any words of anger or, or clothing being expressed today. His task needs a whole and sadness. The listening post is up next time, rolled madison, stay with the a lot of the stories that we cover a highly complex. So its very important that we make them as understandable as we can do as many people as possible no matter how much they know about a given chrisy. So issue the smell of that is all over power. As i was just a real correspondence, thats what we strive to do. The legal case against one dissident Julian Assange and the depth of another. Ill explain of all 2 stories that reveal how western news outlets choose their heroes and villains is really news channels keep the human eyes ation coming, tormenting the palestinians at the mercy of his really sultans and germanys author genocide the one its called the noises inflicted on them maybe memories of faith over the years in both countries. Judgment day is approaching for julie and assange, the co founder of with you, leaks his case has just been heard for the final time by the u. K. As high court to judges will now decide if he will be expedited to the us. Should that happen . Assange, who expose the american war crimes and human rights abuses by several governments winning various journalism awards. Along the way, well face buying charges in the us and a jail term of up to 175 years. The assigning, sharing came in the wake of the story of another jail, the distant one who just died in prison, russian opposition liter, alexi, nevada, nevada only was a political opponent of president Vladimir Putin but the journalistic work his organization did. Exposing corruption at the kremlin also put a target on his back. Western journalists have made a mushroom of all the but ask yourself, why have so many of those same reporters treated the assange story so differently . So obediently, given the implications. Scary wants that this case has for journalists everywhere. Usage, trial, easy press, freedom trial of the 21st century. 5 in america, in this case, will determine the future of the 1st amendment in my country. But if youre not an american, you should care maybe even more because and assigned as an australian journalist, which he weeks is based in iceland. They never operated in the u. S. And the us is essentially saying, we can do this to anyone anywhere in the world. It is a case being focused rated in washington, conducted by some shadow we fingers behind the scenes with the british legal system marching to the beat. Transatlantic published in the 5 years julian assigned trans wasted away in a maximum security prison in london. Fighting off expedition attempts by the us. He has deteriorated so badly that he was too sick to attend to Court Session on his face is locked out of the public eye with far too many journalists and news organizations having turned their backs on colluding in their own way. His reputation has suffered, along with these, how many people believe things that are simply not true about julian assault or about what this case is about. We just recently published a series of corrections of Common Misconceptions and the case for us precisely. This reason its much harder to try to correct peoples opinions to show them when they have been exposed to untrue information or information taken out of context. The end result is that it enables discontinued prosecution of a publisher for publishing information in the Public Interest in treating assigns is famous for exposing the american empire and exposing the wars. And thats going to its done in iraq. But actually i think hes shouldnt be famous for exposing the west the media, many of the done this which what for the last 6 big deals for books deals and the film, none of them what the hearing so high for so its a truly horrific story. This is a legal story, least with president ial politics in 2017. The Obama Administration part and chelsea mat. Julian assange is primary source for his biggest leaks and decided not to charge assign. It concluded it could not do that without also implicating the mainstream news. Outlets that published the material wiki leaks provide like the New York Times and the guard at ease in 2019 donald trump reversed that decision and had a sand indict. Joe biden then took the ball from truck and ran of the 18 federal charges against assigned to 17 fall under the espionage of a problem matters piece of legislation. The dates back to world war one. That law was written with fines were saboteurs in mind and has since been used against whistle blowers like many. And it leaves no legal rule for what is arguably the most important defense for any journalist in the gulf. And that is doing work that is in the Public Interest. Nevertheless, the american authorities are insist that the espionage act passed in 1917 is somehow fit for purpose in our post 911 work a lot of the things that was normalized on the warranty. Or, you know, those chickens are coming home to roost. Now for song, she does not want to get expedited because he will be treated like terrorist and United States deprived of basic freedoms and rights, affectively tortured on the basis of these National Security threat. Assange is the most dramatic, most extreme example of this increasing war on your descent. And general, how can you prosecute to sons and to prosecute the papers it was a published . Thats why the case is so ridiculous. This case would be embarrassing to the british establishment. They all Going Forward with this, the extra di h r list to a fed country for publishing, evidence of that will crime as to that, that, that countries on record is putting to assess and make that john this in london. And this was revealed in that you often use our School Website and us officials went on the record to reveal the c i plus some Senior Trump Administration officials and c. I executives even discussed assassination massage. We seen that law be used against whistle blowers in the past, but this is the 1st time it has been used against the publisher. That means if this precedent is that any journalist, i mean media organizations that works with leaked classified information could be targeted in the same way. If journalists refrain from covering these stories because of possible legal risk to them, then we as a public dont have access to information that is in our interest b, s, we know shaq has become a tool. So your political persecution, if you make information in the near times to say over jerome programs, really great. Theyre not going to prosecute you. If you expose like Daniel Ellsberg did the vietnam, were you exposed to your rock for like chelsea many did. Theyre going to prosecute you under the espionage that. So we have this overly broad, overly big, unenforceable, unconstitutional monstrosity. And its a wow, the government to have this tool to go after and silence. Its critics. Julian assange is latest court here in came just 4 days after another well known distance. Alexa, in the volney died in a prison, a russian was, the parallel is not exact. Of all, it was primarily a politician, but his Organization Also did some work that Many Russians considered journalists, including an investigation into an opulent vacation home, built for president vladimir poor. What a striking is the amount of coverage and of all these cases and his death attracted in the western meeting compared to the relatively few stories. Those outlets have done on the assange kings. The difference in the challenge here was dismantled, especially when one considers the implications. The assange prosecution could have on those same news as they have to come prioritizing, self preservation, their relationships with the governments involved over what should be their primary self interest. The potential impact of this case on their journal was their ability to speak truth to power. Add back to the list of things that julian a search through his own story as review devonie and saw the treated differently by the west and press for variety of reasons. Personal cultural professional, the media in the United States and the west tends to follows the tech tights and biases of the governments that they live on and saw in the vault. And he might be vilified and the russian press. Val arised in the west and perhaps we find it difficult to kind of escape from our own biases and then end up in our own silos. And we end up in our own that kind of chapters. If the west, the media had mobilized in simple genius on, she was a colleague and he would be a free man. Now, in a Democratic Society with an independent press, every single major newspaper would have been campaigning. From the day he went into belmont prison for his release, theres been some obstacles in favor of him editorials. Ec set you up with this being noticed inside the campaign, the west, the Mainstream Media in Corporate Media is not a check on how its an accessory to power. And he exposed that. And i think partly the reason mainstream john of this headington is because he expose them this is a complex, legalistic story with a relatively simple bottom line, a journalist, a multiple Award Winning one who exposed far too many war crimes for us to list here has been locked up in maximum security for 5 years. Fighting and extradition ordered the food land to him behind bars for the rest of his life. If juliet assange dies in prison, how different is that really to the alexi and of all new story. Its just happening in a different place in slow motion. And should it come to that . What will the News Coverage look like then . We dont yet know how the vonny died, but a lot of people are willing to say that if he, since he was in russian prison since he was persecuted, that put in his personally responsible, the world tonight condemning russia. Choosing moscow of assassinating alexi and of all me, and i think thats a fine standard. But we know Julia Sanchez health is really bad, or if he dies in us custody, or were going to say, joseph biden, or whoever the present isnt the point personally murdered him for all these years or so. A lot of mixed opinions as it relates to julia massage, because if were going to say that in the volume case, we need to be prepared to say that in the assigned case. So, well, this plays out in london court. We ultimately still put the responsibility on this administration divided. There are several ways out of it if, if theyre not able to simply drop the charges and close the case as a point of principal, a political solution could be found. The allows perhaps for the time whos already served in prison. So suffice some people dont care about julian assault may not like to minnesota, but they should understand that regardless of the situation impact. So its about all of our right now. Next step, the is really journalists taking a plausible case of genocide and putting a positive spin on it. Initially, its reading news outlets maintained a near total silence on the atrocities and the mistreatment of palestinians in gaza. More recent reporting deals with that topic in an ugly way target enough is here with more. To is ray, the documentary is broad costs this week provide a window into the abuse and torture suffered by promising in prison is adopted in gaza. And the d truman. Ive ation that positive for john live. Im on his ready tv. First up the right wing news outlets. Channel 1400, some old little included loving the 1st of all of the jet and the kind of the to the put them in time. It and its reports, we see the interrogation, assuming the ation of protest and in captive who we are told her mouth operative. Of course, none of these men have been given a trial and the threshold for who qualifies a suspect is very low. Indeed. We also have a fund from his rating soldiers about how they have tortured, honest opinions in that customer. Hold them for fall 2 full bathrooms on the column. A cushion will definitely who is theyve been told to tell him they ahold of me, so im with enough moments ima talking, letting them tell the sure notes the story got a similar treatment from the more offensive leaning tunnel. 13, which gave the view is a tool, the prison housing postilion captive with his ready prison god serving as guide the time, somebody all the time, please read us. That would be a shift too much for your numbers. Well keep the 9 because the shooting, the things in both reports align with the testimonies of the many palestinians taken prisoner in gaza and the cruel environment treatment they have received of the hands of his ready soldiers. This past week the you in the top of human rights body published what it called credible allegations of agreed just violations by his ready soldiers, including the execution of women and goals and gaza and the Sexual Assault and rape of protest in women in his ready custody thanks dark in january a few months into the bombing of gauze and the maybe a made some news when it pulled out the German Government for its continuing and apparently unconditional support of israel. It said the german a, which carried out a genocide in the maybe early in the 20th century was hardly in a position to judge in 2021. Berlin formerly recognized the fact genocide and agreed to pay 1100000000 euros in what it called, developmental aid, instead of reparations. Thats a legal distinction that comes with implications. However, leaders of the communities affected the herero and nama people rejected that offer for decades, and for very different reasons. The genocide was absent in both in the median and german memorialize ation. There have been efforts to rectify that, but all too often they fail to emphasize the testimonies of the victims and survivors to the listening post. Nick and your head now want to fight for justice. Thats been long treated as a footnote of history. But 1st view were warning. Prepare for some distressing images. In this report, on the outskirts of struck up month to small town in libya, lies an old cemetery, buried share of thousands of a river, and nominate people who perished. In the 1st genocide of the 20th century. 19 of the tribes rebelled against vick learn. Your route is. The german managing commander general reduced the front truck to issued and from us extermination gordon. Any herrera found inside the gym and frontier will be executed. I shall span you. The women. No children. Those who are not killed in combat were hunted down and either executed it will take into concentration camps. When many were to get over the next 4 years, an estimated 75 percent of the heavy river population and 50 percent of the nama will walk down to 70000 people. The legacy of german colonialism has been said and that is collective memory. But the genocide itself as being in excuse of overlooked the genocide is mostly taken a backseat in national discourse. I think that outside of the affected communities, they has been little effort to actively memorialize, not only the genocide, but also the war uprising that contextualize, that period. There is no date of National Morning or national would be membranes, despite act of calls from affected communities to establish one. And theres also no Standalone Museum on one human to memorialize the victims of fit you in a site. And this takes away from the ability for the nation to kind of segment the genocide with in public culture and public history. If you look at public spaces and the media today, you often see monuments or even street names referring to this period and time. But what these all have in common is that they are reproducing the perspective of the colonizer and not the colonized. So you have a memorial ization of this time period, but its not necessarily as a genocide, but kind of more as a successful military campaign by the germans. Germany lost its colonies during the 1st world war. Nivia then known as german south, west africa was placed under the administration of its name. So that by the late 19 sixtys, a liberation struggle that started against jim menu was being waged against talking. So that beyond resistance was laid by the southwest for computers organization. Swamp, 1988, thats a way to select the category for links. First of all, curious laces, swap, the one, the majority of the poles and the movie candidates in defense. It was a milestone in the countries. Postcolonial is the one that now a big shudders to jennifer. So off to india and is there was any far we have that we have rehabilitate, liberated the country from apartheid. However, the new, narrow before the new nation was all about that particular period. The bravery of 96. 00, the swap will liberation, struggle, nothing, as was discussed. So the germans, history has been erased as the base of deliberate effort from the government to not be more realize these one of the largest projects that any new state has to undertake is that of the nation building. Also taking into consideration the fact that most more than african states, a consequence of foreign drawing board is and so often dependence. It was a political, administrative, and cultural imperative to unite the number begins as one people rather than specific ethnic groups. So this motivated the push for more connective narratives like the war independent against a party by the it had a unfortunate consequence which was the suppression of the story of the genocide and the war uprising. Germany has a culture of remembrance around the holocaust notice for getting an heights developed eco it confronts the actions of the nazis bunch for decades, the country lived in the states of whats been described as colonial amnesia because of its failure to confront its actions in places like you maybe got a student thats like a mod class, so just in compass of offline how she lives in the im voiding labels and im on so thats interest rick and them in recent years, german academic century and a septic on to retrospect. And i knew what i mean sure. And serve as the government or for the sincerity remains in question itself of its uh, stats. As you can v, as in alpha, come march along with form recognizing that genocide, germany offered 1300000000. 00 in work in poll development by the author was rejected by leaders of that forever and all the people who said that they had been sideline negotiations and said that the money which they said was inadequate, would not reach the effect of communities to double stand. And in germanys approach to these 2 genocides makes its culture for memories, see more like selective memory. So joe menu spoke on the types that failed to lodge the eps koans from the countries crimes in africa because its largely associated with the era of National Socialism than any of the era in germanys history. So whereas this culture often you read monuments and memorials that put you e mail, clinton blinked of state, a blog post atrocities the amount of memorial sites that exist for the defense of the number. And here we wrote genocide, very few much of what is known about the genocide comes from german learn. Youre a documentation that had an agenda. Prisoners who died and concentration camps were often decapitated. They had sent to gemini, most pseudo scientific research, to try and prove the racers the prairie r t of one. Your vehicles. Sexual abuse was watched during this common practice was to bunch of off the naked bodies of the river anomaly and send the images back to germany as post the pictures i expect you to an explicit. And therefore, this documentation was designed to de humanize the river to justify the subjugation. And even in the modern era, its still excludes the suspect. So that documentation of that particular period that is mainly in the german language. And so a lot of file people can say, 99. 9 percent, they dont speak to jim in so those colonial documentations tend to be access. But german academics who understand the language. If you have these English Speaking intervening journalists often writing in the political sections. And then you have more of the explication of the past being written by more german historians or german speaking. The moving historians. That creates a dispersive structure that often separates the Political Part of it with the historical side. And that has a lot of implications for the discourse, because when herrera on the Say Something about the past that can kind of just seem is one opinion on a lot of other opinions. The trauma or genocide may always ripple through the generation in the maybe that pain is compounded by the biggest of colonialism and the racial inequality to create. Ready today 70 percent of commercial farming land is to own by foreigners from whitening millions. Ready many descendants of gym and then use some of that land once belonged to the river and on the menu. Now live in public jeremys offer money as developmental aid. Why dont and do this reality back with negotiations, dont disclose. Much like the genocide is becoming a distant memory. Part of the colonial african experience that things have not changed, but we have to move into a National Policy of reconciliation. But it is not easy when you know that your great grandparents wealth westgate can and they have been subjected to slave labor. The suffering is absent from the memory of the station. We have to fed for them to be recognized. And finally, last week we showed you some unsavory image is coming out of gauze is really soldiers cooking in the homes of palestinians. They have displaced, eating the food they stolen from those kitchens. Now for the other side of that point and what passes for palestinian meals these days, this is what it looks like when you try to cook a loaf of bread using animal feet. Because you have no flour, since its really forces have prevented humanitarian aid from reaching you. Somebody else can still be bought. If you have the money and lots of it. Whoever bought the strips of meat with goose goose on the side, paid 95. 00 for it. Were showing you those pictures because there are very few journalists left working in northern godsa to tell that part of the story. So many have been killed by is really bombs and bullets. And the few that have survived are too busy trying to find food to keep us and for the best way to stay on top of this awful story is to keep your eyes here on. I was just here, well see you next time i thought listening post the latest news as a break, the current costs associated facilities was drafted and approved after the 1986 last uprising with exclusive reports. That one across the board of the colanda here say there was is to make sure that go, ma, is protected from around the world. The model has already been banned from running for Public Office until 2030. But his supporters will show voters that the fear of, of president still have political clout, a wild animal tone from its habitat to satisfy the legal was life trade, loses its survival skills that re discovering them is possible with the little house. A park ranger facing retirements, grapples with the prospect free of simulating himself to city life. Monkey man, a witness documentary on a jersey to algebra. Zeros here to report on the people often ignored but who must be hurt. How many other channels can you say . Well take this time and put extensive followed into reporting from under reported areas. Of course we cover major global events that are passion lives and making sure that youre hearing the stories from people in places like how is fine with the region. And so many others, we go to them, we make the effort, we care, district, the International Condemnation is over a 100 palestinians die. And whats being called on outrages masika by israel in northern godsa, the, the bucket. Some of this is obviously the light from dough home, also coming up at least 43 people have been killed in a mazda 5 in bangladesh. The door says of oregon turnaround, where radians are going to the polls. And the 1st part of the mentor you elections is protest
