Transcripts For RT Watching The Hawks 20240713 : comparemela

A secret court the buys a court that has reportedly rubber stamps many requests not reportedly they have these tangible things include things like oh you know warrant less access to your internet browsing and Search History without having to prove you were under suspicion of doing anything wrong because you know who doesnt want folks like Christopher Ray Steven Elliot or william barr digging through your Search History online so all those supposed freedom protectors route storming state capitals armed to the teeth with guns and pretend patriotism you know the ones who got scared away from rain you know fighting for the right to reopen the bars and nail salons our elected officials in the u. S. Senate were busy shredding even more of our constitutional protections and bill of rights seriously by stay at home orders they it has nothing nothing on the United States Congress Says when it comes to removing personal rights and freedoms here in the United States which is why my friends we are always watching the hawks. Whats going on in a city. That is so lets see this as this choice state says. Great city displays systemic deceptions they so wish. I wish. You. Well going on watching the logs i am carol lin for and im a nice across and these are Goodness Gracious so everyone was out there on the Capitol Steps across the country and state after state saying we want our rights back we want to go outside we want to not have to really be home all the time. And then washington like passes actual things that violate peoples rights they pass things that actually you know theres reauthorization act which is an extension of the old patriot act like that actually does violate u. S. Citizens rights regardless of what you know fancy lawyers want to say in congress or you know people justify that kind of thing and nary a peep or rally 8 that the interesting thing about this is that it did hit certain news wave cycles by and it didnt get a lot of attention so i think a lot of americans arent necessarily aware that this is happening what i did see on social media was a few libertarian groups kind of speak out against it but thus far its a can a fail like a tree in the forest nobody heard it so i think that part of the reasoning is that there hasnt been enough Media Attention paid to it but in addition to that this is a very interesting time to push something a reauthorize Something Like this in congress more and more people are still looking towards another round of stimulus package theyre trying to figure out whats going to happen with the economy so for this to come up now and theyre not really be a large discussion in the grander speare about it i think is largely in part because of the timing in the framework that makes sense and plus you know that you often see that happen whether by choice or i guess happenstance you often see these kind of interesting bills that strip away rights kind of always being passed through the cover of that usually there are some other bigger issues going on that kind of keeps everyone distracted and then thats the time where its like hey you know what the old freedom act you know once reauthorized that which i always find funny freedom that when they label these bills they often label them with the exact opposite of the content of the bill when it comes to stuff thats controversial theres nothing freedom about allowing people like william barr. Or whoever these a. G. s down the line to start digging into our browsing history at all i think you know absolutely and it also brings to the question why because if you the process if you going through and getting a warrant is not extremely long weve seen cases where within 24 hours one was given why would we need to obfuscate that process to go ahead and do things sooner and what types of not only by allusions of liberty and personal privacy but other things that this lead to because i know that there are a lot of people who probably dont want their browser history out there for the world to feel for anyone to see but in addition to that what gives you the leveraging power to do so outside of our current process i think that you know weve seen this this is a reactor i think since obviously weve had this process for your but since the original time frame i think that the American Public has moved a lot more you know progressive when it came to ignore it when it came to forcefully pushing against having this level of scrutiny this level of privacy invasion and so its very interesting to me that even beyond all the protests began all the conversation weve seen over the past 67 years were now back in the exact things space it is really interesting to see that there was a few people that put up a little bit of a defense of this in the senate it now moves over to the house to see what happens there and you know was it steve dames republican of montana and ron widen out a democrat or oregon and you know one of the rare times they get together and things they did offer up an amendment that would have prevented the use of section 215. 00 for warrantless surveillance of internet searches which is what were talking about but that failed by just one vote 4 didnt show up one of them including Bernie Sanders didnt show up to vote failed by one vote some of the would have prevented that rand paul of all people surprisingly rand paul of kentucky he proposed an amendment that would have actually exempted americans from being able to be under fire as the Court Approved surveillance which is actually i think something that we really need to discuss and should be brought up that they all just go 51128585 senators voted against that from. Keeping americans exempt from via the court which is what we saw abused during the whole russia gate controversy so its very interesting to see how you know theyre all joining up to crush 5 to keep 5 accordant despite the problems that weve seen with it over the years and and what is the narrative around the necessity here because i know that sometimes in these arguments there is the we want to protect this nation against terrorism terrorism threats so we want to be able to intercept that type of communication or those different codings before incident actually occurs. But do we have evidence that this actually works i mean weve been weve been using this process for a long time now and then you know most of the evidence that youll see is usually the f. B. I. Paying some homeless person and then giving them the weapons and the idea in the bar you know i mean you obviously theres entrapment things or i look at and say thats clear entrapment you took some guy or some disgruntled some discreet almost person maybe a little less and gave them all of the technology gave them the bomb and said well look we caught a terrorist plot you know thats not actually stopping terrorism very rarely do you stop a crime before it happens thats only in the movies and t. V. Shows. And flowers bloom wildlife run free and waterways and aquatic life enjoy a time of little to no Human Interaction hoping 19 has provided a respite from Mother Nature but this is not a time for environmental activists to take a rest actually its time to sound the alarm even louder across america the u. S. Environmental Protection Agency has sued cities and industries forcing them to clean up their act reducing pollution that threatens our air and Water Quality for example in my home state of illinois the wood river refinery was sued by the state and federal government for releasing toxic waste water directly into the Mississippi River 2 years ago they settled one lawsuit agreeing to spend 10 1000000. 00 for necessary upgrades and monitoring of the refinery as well as 500000. 00 to clean up the low income homes and buildings that were affected just an f. Why these low income. Homes and buildings were home to Young Children and pregnant women whod been profoundly exposed to lead and other toxic emissions for years many of the children were born premature suffer from abnormalities and lived with a Life Long Health issues equated with the disaster now do you think the e. P. A. Pressure implants would push the factory to do better but not so fast to look 66 the company that owns the wood river refinery has suspended all work on the lead Abatement Program they were required to complete this means that the thousands of lives the factory has put it risk over the years are still subject to lead unhealthy water and poor air quality the reason tobit 1000. 00 and the department of justice seems to be helping the polluters issuing a problematic new policy the deal j. Recently said it would suspend the collection of penalties for violations of Consent Decrees and other enforcement orders is david baron managing attorney at the environmental nonprofit justice that settlement agreements and civil litigation are only as good as the governments willingness to watchdog the Consent Decree and make sure that the parties comply. That is that is huge news because i think we are all relieved a little bit when we started seeing you know because of the stay at home orders the majors get a little cleaned up and less air pollution is a good but you kind of got relieved in thinking that hey by the way theyre still cleaning up but mellow under the cover of like oh well we cant find anybody. To lunch money watch were just not cleaning anything exactly and these were major phased out plan the 1. 00 in illinois for example had 7 different phases to it in addition to obviously the money that was going to be used towards revamping some of these homes that were extremely damaging a lot of those are Public Housing projects some of them are regular standalone homes but in addition to that it is now you are pushing more people to be threatened even higher from covert one team because now they have they have to consistently have poisoning in addition. The fact that they cant go anywhere so even the vigils are at their homes the water is definitely not clean water and on top of that they are dealing with a lot of the residuals from the land poisoning to begin with thats brutal when youre kind of when you lay it out like that when you really think about that because its like ok now youve got to stay at home in your lead contaminated home you know these are things that are priority people we were talking about Public Health that doesnt begin and just with cope with 19 Public Health is across the board Environmental Health is across the board and this is ridiculous but you know at the end of the day weve seen its big businesses over and over again kind of flirting. Throwing out the law or throwing out common sense just to kind of maintain not maintain any kind of Corporate Responsibility absolutely and its good that you point that out because b. P. Is probably one of the ones one of the larger corporations that would get the most from this term from the department of justice because b. P. Has had a lot of regulatory issues particularly as it relates to environmental awareness and the Environmental Issues that theyve caused with oil spills and other things. Now they are basically sitting pretty unable to start a lot of the regulations because theyre there are no important checks during this time of covert 19 and shelter in place stay home orders no one is actually coming out to make sure that they are following the regulations that were designed for them i mean i do about one of like ok theyre properly shut down and theyve got their employees at home then theyre probably no ones really working there so you dont have to worry about it but on the other hand. You know that youve got to keep these peoples feet to the fire because they will do anything anything to not have to be responsible or be held accountable for their actions in the past but the thing that suffers most of the families are theyre not like i mean these are people who are basically getting screwed over because no one is cleaning up their backyard now exactly and these are families who had protested these are families who had marched these are families who wrote letters to the editor these are families who came to d. C. I used to work for the e. P. A. In illinois and one of the most interesting things about this is that it takes years. Or for any piece of litigation to come down from the federal government when it relates to environmental policy and Environmental Protection so you have families who have had issues with their water with liquid thing for the past 35 years because of this plant and they were just beginning to see some level of relief and terms of in terms of the litigation back 2 years ago and the regulations that were given then for the reopening of the plant for them to you know basically right their wrongs was a multistage process theyre not even finished with phase one and now they are basically issuing issuing statements that they cant do the other 6 or 7 because the code 19 and it really is garbage its like you cant use that excuse. I have to have working on it too its like were going to see this job all across the board with bar making that decision are we pretty much absolutely so illinois is one example but were also seeing this in dallas were also seeing it in different areas across florida right now there are over 350 Consent Decrees in the United States for major corporations for the smoke that buildings and all these other things that have really created some problem for the local residents either because theyre dumping unhealthy things in the water or because they have serious air quality issues there exacerbated now by the fact that all of that is actually making it worse for families who are trying to protect themselves from covert 19 so in the one hand you have regulators who cant go in because of the stay at home waters on the other you have parents and children who are at home but are also being extremely exposed and because of that exposure their respect over 1000. 00 is a lot higher. And they always remember to these are also people who are probably in the poorest of communities were going to have to face this directly head on well the people who own the companies who are living in the rich communities they dont have to worry about letting their water they dont worry about these kind of toxic chemicals in their environment Gross Gross Gross gross is going to break remember that you can also start watching the hawks on the mans in the brand new portable t.

And there are reports of the u. S. Is planning on intervening in some way and that could be directly for sending u. S. Navy ships out to the Caribbean Sea to try to stop these 5 iranian tankers that are carrying more than 45000000. 00 worth of gasoline and supplies so they could try to stop them in their path before they even get to venezuela now the u. S. Has yet to confirm them but we do know that they have these incredibly strict sanctions a motor iran and venezuela and theyve really spent the last year trying to cut these countries off from the rest of the world its really breaking my heart here in this because it sounds like my da
