Transcripts For RT Watching The Hawks 20180105 : comparemela

You that i got. This. Week six. Oclock am to roland for a capitalist. Yeah i can i would im so happy that there are pictures of. Steve bama and donald trump buying into that favre told producer sarah no pictures of steve and donna weve seen enough pictures of steve and what we need to be looking at is pictures of arisan and jeffrey sterling and the censorship that went on with the war on terror the self imposed censorship you saw in that always this is scared me about because the post nine eleven you watched a lot of progressives are people who said they had progressive ideals who said that they were you know how important the First Amendment was and i watched through the Bush Administration through the end of you know the Bush Administrations through through the obama administrations i watch this this stuff keep being put into into action things that if the wrong person gets hold of power your god this is going to be used in ways that that we dont like i believe it was Edward Snowden called a turn key dictatorship you know turn key oppression that was you warned us of that right and whats interesting is the true story of the rise and its a brilliant piece and i would definitely recommend people read it because the two stories that he kind of focuses on and gives all the ingredients that went in and you know he kind of tells you how the bologna was made you can aziz which was one the us was warrantless wiretapping of american citizens and the botched cia plan to deliver kind of fake nuclear blueprints to our iran. That basically that was what eventually led to the conviction of jeffrey sterling for divulging secrets and but rising never said that there was jeopardy sterling with the poor man thankfully i believe is going to be let out officially doubled his sentence i believe in late july this year this year. But it does raise a lot of troubling questions does it not right a lot of people in putting out fires have actually brought up this question and its something that keeps getting us because you dont know what exactly is it going to take what exactly does or does a journalist have to do to not fall into one of these categories very very espionage if you talk about anything so. One of the things they were saying is that can our government be trusted to react credibly and responsibly when presented with their own wrongdoing can any government really can any government this is something you know going back to our Founding Fathers that was the eternal question can we be trusted to govern ourselves how many checks and balances do we need to have and how much space do we need to have between the people who hold that our and the people who. Call that power into question when and when it needs to be i think it raises that western raises a very you know you have to look and say as if a government cant be trusted to react credibly and responsibly you know when presented with proof of its own wrongdoing instead does things like the bush you know where they put a bunch of pressure theyre hauling the news out of there is in the meetings and put all these pressure on reporters dont report this its National Security dont harm us all dont break National Security you know and use that as an excuse and then when you see these journal you know these these top journals kind of kowtow into that which thankfully rise in them didnt but New York Times definitely you know held the n. S. A. Whistleblower story you know held the n. S. A. Spying on my kids for a year before they really start. To look at the Mainstream Media just anybody who doesnt report it and your eyes and ears and you know groene while theres just out for himself any time somebody does have something to do with that you know they turn back and forget about they want to forget about the people who do reporter so went out and put their careers and everything at rest to make sure the story and of course and the thing you have to ask is is then the government worth keeping you know i mean if the government is basically saying that like you can never expose wrongdoing of us in any kind of journalistic sense and were going to basically decimate the freedom of the press or youre going to self censure censor shelves of such an extent that there really doesnt matter we dont even have to censor you ourselves you just go do it yourself just to kowtow to us and get access then you know is it a government worth keeping is it a price worth keeping or do we have to hit the reset button on the whole darn thing. Whether its elviss pelvis led zeppelin played backwards or say a tannic ritual abuse or daycares loral panics those that incite public panic over a threat to Proper Society have always had a way of causing damage when theyre meant to ensure safety and the latest draft of the World Health Organizations internal classification of diseases has all the makings of another moral panic the new Mental Illness they added this year was called gaming disorder according to United Nations agency gave me just order presents itself as an imperative control over gaming and increasing priority given to gaming to the extent that gaming takes precedence over other life interests and daily activities and a continuation or escalation of gaming despite the occurrence of negative consequences. Of this classification is a good thing it could allow Addiction Treatment centers to receive funding for gaming related disorder thats if gaming gaming disorder actually exists twenty eight scholars actually put out an open letter regarding the World Health Organizations proposal stating it that quote of particular concern are moral panic surround the harm of video gaming that they might result in premature application of diagnosis in the medical community and the treatment of abundant false positive cases especially for children and adolescents and will cause significant stick much of the millions of children who play video games as part of a normal healthy life however blaming gaming or technology is nothing new in the u. S. It was treated as fact for well over a decade that violent video games cause violent behavior is a claim that was debunked years ago in a study entitled violent video games and real world violence rhetoric versus data in that they discover that contrary to the claims that violent video games are linked to aggressive assaults and homicides no evidence was found to suggest that this medium was positively related to real world violence the United States. Unexpectedly many of the results are suggestive of a decrease in Violent Crime in response to violent video games it seems as if we are spending a lot of time and money creating new disorders to demonize perfectly normal behavior all engaging in the kind of moral panic that distracts from the treatment of legitimate mental disorders like depression and p. T. S. D. Boy that you know i couldnt agree with you more but theyre with abuse because it always seems like whenever they want to like you know whatever they want to not take respond whatever like the you know and i dont how they arent whatever they dont want to take responsibility for something its blame Something Else tipper gore in their music it was you know i tried. To came to my dads governors residence when he was governor trying to get in the doors when running for president i tried to get tipper gore to watch fight club hopefully she learned a thing or two man tried to drive i dont know if she did this or if youre out there and you did watch fight club let me know it was my recommendation but also getting back to this kind of sense of sorry but it sort of as weve dealt with this for decades its always something its prohibition the gentleman is just you know i just book its been twenty eleven American Academy of pediatrics at least a port that stated that quote research herbs have proposed a new phenomenon called facebook depression the far end as depression that the bell labs when preteens and teens spend a great deal of time on social media sites such as facebook and then begin to exhibit classic symptoms of depression. Teens never were depressed before facebook correct. And here is where you got to study your study as this is where im sure a lot of other mainstream outlets will probably be reporting on this being like a brick wall make you crazy the problem is that the data and research used by that study by the american be offered proof was it really proved nothing it proved the condition had nothing to do with social Media Technology the studies that they were using on the information one one set of information that they used to. Was not a study about social media teens it was about teens depression and depression and adolescence and whether it predicted risky sexual behavior and then nothing to do with games and the other research there was a whole other set of research and thats just two examples in that study that said facebook depression its horrible for you that also who was literally a freshman in college linguistics. Essentially wrote a paper saying that about eighteen percent of her coke lacerates at her college shut oppression thats what they are used it for and to me thats really disturbing it is really disturbing i mean i really quickly want to say to the you know the Entertainment Software association has responded you know to the w. H. O. Saying the quote more than two billion people around the world two billion run the world enjoy video games the World Health Organization knows the common sense objective Research Proven to games are not addictive and putting that official label on them recklessly trivializes Real Mental Health issues like depression social exile the disorder which deserve treatment and the full attention of the medical community we strongly encourage the w. H. O. To reverse direction on its proposed action and you were told me earlier today another thing video games help with crazy saying i know people think video games are like good im elder ones brain but its true p. T. S. D. Is also helped by video. And while im not a vet i do have p. T. S. D. And one of the Treatment Options that ive been given and one of the things that was told was actually good was playing video games and part of the reason for this is that you your brain is sort of reacting in the moment its one of the reasons that videogames the same sort of conditioning that they use as a soldier so your brain reacts to certain things and thats why theyre using it to sort of reroute the brain. That was part of the thing is that the stimulus response of saving your politico and or saving the princess or saving a town in a video game literally does the same chemicals in your brain as you would a soldier saving the lives of his troops you literally have that moment where your brain feels the same positive effect and in p. T. S. D. Sufferers like myself. Even though it doesnt it i didnt serve doing these moments helps my brain to positively reinforce a situation i can save a platoon in a game i can save my family from zombies meaning i can handle tough situations it helps you get over fears and you literally learn not to react not to get scared as quickly as so you know when im playing hours of skier and theres a reason so i downloaded one of the dragon comes down from the heavens i know we know the tablet the will not panic when that moment happens when a dragon the webs back down walker crawls out of the moon for example but arthur who we know tapper will not panic all right as we go to break clark watchers dont forget to let us know what you think of the topics weve covered of facebook and twitter so your poll shows that r. T. Dot com coming up investigative journalist steve for an interview walks not with you there was a big Standing Rock style protest taking shape south of the border to mexico stay tuned to watching the. Thank you its the cradle of jazz. Well this is america is the america we have. To mold this jazz feeling. A city of climatic contrast to feed alligators on the loose. And crime are used by the at least twelve members of my family close most. Of street racing in the peace of the night this is new orleans. The best place in the world. Hello my names peter and ive been living in bushnell for about seven years and this is a film about just some of the crazy things ive got in the time. That i need to just publish the new would you. Please. Thank. You americas forty fifth president may have given the green light to Pipeline Projects all across the u. S. And the hopes and of activists Standing Rock but the fight against unfettered Pipeline Projects continues to neighboring canada and mexico where tribal groups are appealing to the basic rights in trying to the uns declaration on the rights of Indigenous Peoples the document promotes the right of native people to free prior and informed consent to Infrastructure Projects taking place on their lands well the up keys in mexico state of sonora were certainly asked in twenty fifteen if they wanted a pipeline and they balked at the idea but no matter because the project went on regardless similarly the autonomy tribe has led the fight against a proposed pipeline in western mexico by trans canada the energy giant behind the keystone x. L. As both battles make their way through the streets from street protests the halls of mexicos courts were joined today by investigative journalist steve horn to discuss this story welcome steve. Thanks for having me good to be vaca definitely always a pleasure will steve you know in the case of Standing Rock your we saw a massive mobilization by tribal environmental activists out there trying to fight it but the facing a nasty political defeat that theres still hard fighting at the hands of the newly elected president will probably do these cases in mexico that you recently wrote about have a higher chance of success than say the what happened of stanley grower. Well the one that you highlighted the case thats ongoing with the Trans Canada Pipeline its called theres two pipelines one of them in the u. S. Called sort of texas two talks to tucson pipeline and theres. Two to the pipeline those pipelines connect one of them crosses the Us Mexico Border and goes across the gulf of mexico into mexico and so that the mexico part of the pipelines being protested both act you know activism and courts and in the court case to answer your question at least for that pipeline its been held up in court because a judge agreed in that court that there was not sufficient consultation with the o. Tommy tony tried therefore there needs to be a more consultation more discussion before that particular pipeline can move forward we see a parallel with that with sampras pipeline which crosses the Us Mexico Border in arizona which i wrote about in the article that one is still being heard in court but its not clear how the judge ruled that ruling will come in the in the weeks to come and go back to the u. S. Example of Standing Rock you know that was held up for these very same reasons because there was not sufficient consultation and according to the tried and so the judge heard those arguments and disagreed eventually and the pipeline moved forward but we do see a kind of a direct parallel happening in mexico. Now the tribal consent to sort of is the biggest challenge and the challenges by that the tribes hinge on that right to consent to the projects that didnt seem to carry much weight here in the u. S. You and Indigenous Peoples right didnt seem to hold a lot of weight just how binding is that from a legal standpoint and how powerful is it maybe from a non like a p. R. Standpoint. Yeah i mean i think that i wrote about this way back in. Twenty sixteen when the case was first brought in federal court in the United States for Standing Rock but some at least some critics and scholars argue that this section one of six this basically this u. S. Code by corporations and the federal government to have to go through this whole process of consultation has actually been used as a way to kind of whitewash their projects thats argument and ran through these projects and basically it has become more or less a p. R. Exercise in which arguments are made and the actual argument is that it doesnt want to quite destroy things as much as the opponents of the project say and so thats definitely a valid criticism and the case of mexico whats interesting is that all these pipelines that are being proposed of course these are two there are several others that are in the works for Us Mexico Border crossing the ones that move throughout the country of mexico the reason why this consultation process even exists is because of the Energy Privatization the forms that were passed at the end of two thousand and thirteen the constitutional amendments that basically allowed International Companies like trans canada to come into the country and build pipelines to begin with because before that time x. Or patrol those make those was the only state on a couple that was allowed to operate in mexicos oil and gas sector so its sort of an interesting irony that. These International Companies were allowed to come in and build these pipelines but now theyre being held to this particular process which they also dont perhaps love to have to go through the First Amendment<\/a> was and i watched through the Bush Administration<\/a> through the end of you know the Bush Administration<\/a>s through through the obama administrations i watch this this stuff keep being put into into action things that if the wrong person gets hold of power your god this is going to be used in ways that that we dont like i believe it was Edward Snowden<\/a> called a turn key dictatorship you know turn key oppression that was you warned us of that right and whats interesting is the true story of the rise and its a brilliant piece and i would definitely recommend people read it because the two stories that he kind of focuses on and gives all the ingredients that went in and you know he kind of tells you how the bologna was made you can aziz which was one the us was warrantless wiretapping of american citizens and the botched cia plan to deliver kind of fake nuclear blueprints to our iran. That basically that was what eventually led to the conviction of jeffrey sterling for divulging secrets and but rising never said that there was jeopardy sterling with the poor man thankfully i believe is going to be let out officially doubled his sentence i believe in late july this year this year.

Or patrol those make those was the only state on a couple that was allowed to operate in mexicos oil and gas sector so its sort of an interesting irony that. These International Companies<\/a> were allowed to come in and build these pipelines but now theyre being held to this particular process which they also dont perhaps love to have to go through the United States<\/a> so i can imagine the love of the ball into the deal you know. Right now although it is interesting to be in the middle of this sort of corporatization nationalization and seeing how they sort of butt up against each other that is very again i think that i think that you know if they didnt have this problem within their legislation and tribes and it wouldnt be happy and they were particularly happy with what existed before so i guess that would be one. From the travel perspective one positive that came out of this particular piece of legislation which overall is extremely unpopular and has become a hot political issue in theyre going president ial race for twenty eight in the last this candidate has come out against this particular privatization package that went through in twenty thirteen so its sort of a referendum in their election season right now. That i want to bring that up actually because it were entering the first week of twenty eighteen and i was you said mexico is heading toward this president ial election in july. In which the kind that you said Lopez Obrador<\/a> is obrador over a dozen openly opposed to this private to Energy Privatization<\/a> and so how is that how is that issue playing out in in regional politics in mexico and do you think it will have any kind of effect on that could this be the presence of a president ial race major issue in mexico. Stephanie stephanie a major issue in the president ial race and that hes come out against it and its been one of the main tenets of is campaign in terms of how its played out at this point in history pressure and that sort of thing i think that well see that the coming months as we get closer to the particular election right now Lopez Obrador<\/a> is leading in the polls so thats really interesting i would expect to see some industry pressure and maybe an issue money flowing into campaigns thats something to watch for in the coming months i think that of course in two thousand and eighteen were saying our own elections the United States<\/a> it may not be as much attention to whats going on in mexico but believe me the Energy Industry<\/a> the oil and gas industry is definitely watching the twenty eighteen president ial i mean of course the u. S. Election but also whats going on in mexico very closely and i expect well see more of that play out in the months ahead well let me ask you this is for someone whos not familiar with you know the energy wars you know that have happened in mexico over the years you know how important is this for these private industries to break through and maintain you know a new kind of stranglehold how important is the mexico gas industry proved you know to them and possibly to the rest of the world. Yeah i mean its big you know not only in mexico but also the United States<\/a> for exports of oil and gas that go across the Us Mexico Border<\/a> whether its across the gulf of mexico whether these pipelines build out so it is you know i would say from u. S. Companies perspective huge for exporting their products to mexico in terms of Pipeline Companies<\/a> thats a boon boon for them looking at Companies Like<\/a> trans canada and south brothers the two leading Pipeline Companies<\/a> right now and mexico there are also also Huge Companies<\/a> in the United States<\/a> but in terms of how the industry sees it i think that the best lens that i could is the best kind of perspective that i can offer and that is the reason why that one of the major reasons why this constitutional reform passed was be. Through the United States<\/a> state department there was a push to make this happen lots of revolving door figures a guy the name of Carlos Pascoe<\/a> who at the time was the ambassador u. S. Ambassador to mexico was leaving now works for an Industry Consulting Firm<\/a> but you know these particular figures within the state department who at the time was run by Heather Clinton<\/a> they were pushing hard for this particular reform package which is something that the industry has wanted for a long time so its unfortunately i think that this hasnt gotten as much attention as a lot of stuff thats going on at the u. S. Canada border and pipelines and all those issues but a lot of the same parallels are playing out with indigenous rights battles playing out in the pipelines that cross the borders and state department volved that really see parallels with whats happened in canada and in mexico different type of oil course in canada its the tar sands and the United States<\/a> and mexico its stuff from fracking but besides that there is a lot of similarities where you definitely do and you know one thing i want to ask very quickly you know were going to both minute or so left with one thing i want to see is you know what are we seeing from the protests of the Indigenous Peoples<\/a> in mexico against this i mean ive heard and i think in your article you talked about the been some violence and Death Threats<\/a> and things of that nature but you know what where where where are they standing you know what was their protest manifesting themselves down there is it similar to Standing Rock<\/a>. You know i say two things one its a little hard for me to one hundred percent now because a lot of the reporting on this has been in spanish down in mexico the United States<\/a> press hasnt really covered very closely but i will give credit to the business and this free press which did do some good articles that alerted me to what was going on in terms of the protests but as you said theres been some i would say human rights issues unfolding especially with the protest against agua prieta pipeline owned by separate which is being protested by the cooey tribe and basically theres been threats made against both tribal elders tribal leaders and women within the tribe and so i think that this is something that hopefully journalists will become more interested in as as it plays out maybe your reporter you will see more translations from stuff thats going on in the Mexican Press<\/a> but i do feel like there probably are quite a few parallels that just havent really been drawn out and maybe maybe well see in the coming weeks and months ahead most of the police the morning always a pleasure to have you on thank you so much for the great work that you do.
