Modernization activities over the past few years do the same thing the reality is that if youve got any kind of Defense Force whether its nuclear or conventional it has to be appropriate technologically to the current and and projected environment the u. S. Nuclear weapons are out of date havent been modernized for a long time they have been geared in fact to the mutually assured destruction doctrine which means a fairly blunt instrument of of hit me straight away to and it be and launch a Nuclear Warheads the reality is that when you get warfare to be viable and in the future as we see it changing context with one in which we see much more cyber warfare the reality is that theyre going to need to be much more flexible smaller and more nimble uclear force and thats what russias been doing thats what chinas been doing the reality is that russia and china are i would suggest in many ways ahead of the United States in developing then new Generation Nuclear weapons i mean speaking of russia and china singled out both those countries as well as north korea as you know justification is for this rearm on top grades as you call it but to think of these countries actually pose a military threat to the u. S. If we will out a Nuclear Holocaust conventionally the u. S. Still has the most powerful military maintains almost global head to many here do you see russia china as a realistic nuclear military threat to the u. S. Well what any government whether its russia china the u. S. Or for that matter australia they have to claim against capabilities not against intentions i own personal view is that russia in particular does not pose an imminent threat simply because there is too much mutually of interest with the United States and the west to to move towards a Nuclear Confrontation but what you plan for if youre a military planner is not intent you plan against capability and as long as russia china iran north korea and its for that matter india or pakistan or israel for that matter as long as these countries have Nuclear Weapons they have to be taken into account when planning ones own. Capabilities and defenses whether its to defend against incoming Ballistic Missiles or Nuclear Weapons or whether to. Project dominance and then i think if anything this highlights the need for dialogue and communication as a key amongst all these superpowers gregory kokanee their author and thirtys catalyst thanks for your time here today on r. T. International thank you. Now a Human Rights Watch report has exposed how drugs are being misused in american Nursing Homes victims relatives say strong anti psychotic medicines are used to control residents with dementia the rights group has released some of their testimonies why im so sleepy bday. One whom he was. Totally droned to you couldnt even talk to my mothers name is laura has been cooler shes seventy five years old where we went to see her she wouldnt talk she. Wouldnt do anything she would just sit and stare like she wasnt even there if you have dementia and somebody in a nursing facility doesnt understand what your needs are you could be given an antipsychotic drug and you end your life not being yourself not being understood and there is no reason that this should happen according to the study almost one hundred eighty thousand people mostly with dementia are given the psychotic drugs each week or drugs are often administered without the consent of residents or their relatives. Or Patricia Mcginnis from the california advocates for nursing home reform says the use of it is a call to drugs poses a real threat to the lives of people with dementia. At least one hundred seventy nine thousand people every week who are treated here and who have dementia who are treated with antipsychotic drugs. Its easier to drug somebody up its less expensive than having adequate staff we have very we can force but system in this country certainly in california its weak so one of the ways to control people and control behavior people who have dementia is to give them and i psychotic drugs even the f. D. A. Has noted that your when you give somebody with dementia antipsychotic drugs you have a two times higher chance of death it can cause people to like you said before to become zombies and i psychotic drugs can cause death and i psychotic dries can cause heart palpitations and heart issues with people we really have to look at what is informed consent and make it National Make it at a federal level that this isnt form consent and unless and until you have that from every Single Person every single resident or their representative you simply cannot prove give anybody one of these kinds of drugs. Now us republicans have released a document claiming the man behind the trumped russia dossier was not only funded by the Clinton Campaign it was also fed information by mr steeles memorandum states that the report was information that came from a foreign subsume who is in touch with a friend of the clintons it is troubling enough that the Clinton Campaign funded mr steeles work but that these Clinton Associates were contemporaneously feeding mr steele allegations raises additional concerns about his credibility. The socalled trumpet dossier was compiled by former British Intelligence officer chris steele it claims to establish strong links between russia and donald trump during the twenty sixteen Election Campaign now the steel dossier was criticised for containing flaws being verified but it was reportedly still used as the basis to secure surveillance on trumps team it also became an important part of the investigation you know earlier it was revealed that documents could have been funded by the campaign of his rival Hillary Clinton if the latest claims that clinton affiliates also fed information to steal turned out to be true this could undermine the coal collusion probe oh but did we catch them in the act or what you know and im just did we catch them in the act they are very embarrassed they never thought they really get caught we caught them basically you have a Opposition Research which proves to be propaganda and not even factual information that led to the appointment of bob mahler to investigate trump for russian collusion that appears not only not to have happened but to have been invented by the democrats paid for by the Democrat National committee and the Clinton Campaign and now theyre investigating trump i still think the funniest part about this is they want to say well we couldnt find any collusion so it must be obstruction of justice that he fired the former f. B. I. Director what was he obstructing if there was no justice to be served because what they were investigating wasnt even true i think thats laughable one of the Republican Party idea released a memo outlining potential bias on the part of the f. B. I. And the department of justice trump probe of the document faced criticism from the democrats republicans though say their investigation will proceed to compass even more branches of government. Yes so let me get to that so phase one of our investigation was just getting to getting at the pfizer. What were looking at now is the state department and some of the irregularities there and some of the most vocal critics of the memo have been the Washington Post and the New York Times theyre currently the subject of a new film but a similar call it explains journalistic values can change over time the Washington Post and the New York Times once established themselves as shining beacons of true journalism a brave group of reporters who would stop at nothing to find out as much as they can in their quest for truth but im actually talking about the seventys back then New York Times and poster less risk jail time by publishing classified documents on the vietnam war the New York Times begins its explosive series based on the pentagon papers publication of a covert version of the war that recount due to much of the optimistic talk that permeated officials to. Now Daniel Ellsberg leaks the documents to the Washington Post you want to learn more go to the movies and check out the oscar nominated film the post seems like the perfect were bottle to trump attacks on the media and according to the creators that was actually the intention one thing that both of these areas have in common that really attracted me also to tell this story is two president s. Declaring war on the news media i really feel that we shall overcome what all of us have been so subjected to over the past sixteen months while spielbergs political message is pretty difficult to miss even in the trailer you probably wont be the screen court. We dont. We. Why dont you going to do this is ok and what are those two newspapers up to these days well theyre not exactly true to the idea of exposing the Intelligence Community the Washington Post was one of the loudest voices against the release of the nunez memo why because this classified document which alleges misconduct by Intelligence Services quote in dangers National Security and wa po published a number of articles predicting devastating consequences from the memos released and slamming donald trump while they were at it and media who are in favor of the memos released got bashed as well the clip on paid for fake news russian propaganda da ca of course was used by the Obama Administration to obtain pizer warrants to surveil members of the trauma campaign. And the New York Times who exposed the pentagon papers back in the seventys were also against it so the cia and f. B. I. Went from bad guys hiding their secrets from the public to a pillar of society standing strong against the evil trump the irony today among many ironies is how the Mainstream Media forgotten their own history the New York Times the Washington Post today when it comes to a songe and others call him the worst threat to our republic is that weve ever seen but just years ago decades ago this same behavior. Now lauded in the movies seem to herald this particular type of behavior that is showing again the unmitigated unbelievable hypocrisy that astounds me daily so there you have it the same outlet that has democracy dies in the dark as its slogan would prefer its secret intelligence actions never see the light of day samir khan r. T. Washington d. C. Bitcoins rollercoaster ride has continued to fall into below six thousand dollars on tuesday down from twenty thousand just last december despite signs on my side of the cryptocurrency continues to attract global interest. All the rapid rise of bitcoin last year drew comparisons with the two look bubble in the netherlands back in the seventeenth century economics professor steve king thinks there are major obstacles to quinn becoming viable as a currency. People have ordinarily done very very well the next cause i was recommending buying it at three dollars in nevada listen to max on one of those shows a big i would have sold out quite nicely even in the process selling it now but ultimately the only long term value for a big coin is if it becomes an alternative to currencies and so long as it only supports a trivial and i really mean trivial number of Transactions Per Second it simply cant become money now in that sense its a bit like a troop of walking to do with a chip apart from planted in the garden and what should get low looked lovely and then slowly die and i think thats whats happening with corn as well if i want to divide with the wind the corn would be a good way to do that but i can only manage twenty transactions maximum per second that is simply not currency its only going to be there is an effective means of trans transfer for extremely large transactions fifty million one hundred Million Dollars at a time the fact that it is so slow consume so much energy and handle so few transactions means that it cant also be what people are claiming it to be so another block Train Technology may well succeed but i simply cant see big coin being effective. Now michael micron has been visiting corsica on his first trip as president of the French Island this comes after a large nationalist protest there at the weekend corsica thirty say around six thousand people took part the rally organizers claim it was attended by more than four times that number. It was yes it was yes. It. Was a. Call from the. South coast but fridge but with course this to much and they should recognize that this is a. Money fifth we are protesting because of course chris being held hostage by france will get currently everything is being decided by students and parents. Push only because when you put you first of all i would demand the transfer of course in Political Prisoners to our second prison because families are suffering because currently Political Prisoners are located far away from their homeland this is the most important among. The president s three day visit to the island which makes up just half a percent from says population comes at a time of rising separatist sentiment. The one nine hundred seventy s. Corsicas fight for independence is at its height with a nationalist movement carrying out a series of bombings and shootings the Deadly Campaign will continue for decades in one thousand nine hundred eight the top official on the island florida and yack was killed becoming the night state worker to be murdered by separatists in two thousand and fourteen the National Liberation front of course lay down its arms declaring a permanent cease fire opening a path for separatist and pro autonomy Political Parties to reach a compromise with the Central Government back in december and nationalist separatist alliance won an absolute majority in the course can assemble in leaving my current Political Movement far behind that take the race separatists hope. That their wish list is relatively modest at least for now the main cause official status for the corsican language control over the local budget and no more holiday homes for outsiders clogging up this paradise known as the island of d. C. Of course can leaders warn parents should leave the school some people are now telling if winning elections does not even get this to hold talks would be gave you a mandate for it means democracy is a dead end to go from that to saying bombs are more effective than votes is something i dont agree with but which at some point could be validated by number of people. Giving in could prove difficult for highly centralized france previous administrations have met corsicas demands with irritation and even refused to negotiate on him as he may be different to specific promises approving allusive so far. We can see the possible changes but these would come as elsewhere within the framework of the constitution this republican framework does not allow us to say yes to certain demands such as on residency rights already rising corsica deficient language alongside french. The pentagon has announced a new strategy in iraq and syria following the liberation of Islamic States king strongholds. Enabled by exhilarated successes following the liberation of mosul the coalition will shift its focus in iraq from enable incumbent appropriations to sustaining military against it gives the Islamic State of iraq in syria according to the pentagon operations in iraq will focus on Border Control and strengthening the national of forces he spoke exclusively to members of the Iraqi Parliament stay believe the us has a responsibility to rebuild the countrys cities. Remorse and many civilians have been killed in indiscriminate Coalition Airstrikes in mosul most of those buried under the rubble civilians they call it Collateral Damage many of these casualties could have been avoided if they do you measure intelligence the return of refugees usually happens in three stages the first stage is the humanitarian efforts reviews can return when the basic needs are met including food and water and the second stage of providing Public Services including Health Care Schools a police force and local governments only after this can the rebuilding process happen in the United States government has a moral and legal responsibility to restore iraq scientists to teach you could dream and we should by use it to support iraq in its reconstruction in reality we are still not seen much help from the us. Can help with that issue to take up to six years to rebuild muscle and create all the necessary infrastructure we need to figure out how to provide a clean water supply and other services why it all for a big city the United States played a major role in the destruction of muscle throw its indiscriminate strikes so low so it has a responsibility to help rebuild the city for them and. Theyve been a part of the glamour of former wallet for decades but the checkered flag has finally been waved on the iconic gulf. James his approval with the same question why. Formula ones commercial director announced the decision saying the grid girls no longer fit in with modern social norms yet there now are relevant and inappropriate for motor racing fans across the world some people have taken arms against this pretty Supermodel Naomi Campbell is among those who have stepped up in defense of the good gold she says the job is not remotely offensive and a good way for women to proud to represent that countrys good girls themselves say theyre offended by the decision itself after years of service to the sport they claim their role is to promote the f one brand and it shouldnt be restricted by issues of political correctness.

For the show recognition technologies impressing smartphone users all over the world and even with the times followers of also found a use for it. But the real question is whether the cow face id will be able to differentiate between twin cows or correctly identify a cow wearing a silly hat now those rogue terrorist cows will have a harder time sneaking through t. S. A. Security disguised as peaceful crowds. That set forth a lot from myself or the team here at all to international my colleague Kate Partridge will be keeping up to date with the latest global headlines throughout the life so you say. To americans too intensely charged in opposing news narratives to Cable News Networks reflect these divisions or rather function as triggers intensifying Cultural Divide also what has happened to journalism is it now profession inhabited by hacks in the politically possessed. Max kaiser this is the kaiser report so much to talk about stacy max weve been traveling quite a lot Miami Los Angeles now back to North Carolina was comical theres been a lot happening weve had the tide pod situation. With me now yeah i brought my diet bars in case during the show i need to eat my time as part of this type are revolution millennial phenomenon now less than half the problem with new is that it seems like this whole you know the fact is that what happened was tied pods is that some elderly people with dementia ate some of those and they passed away but they ate that because they had dementia but the news covered the story and therefore a lot of young people apparently thought it was a good idea to try it themselves to see you know i mean not even in that film idiocracy are the people so doraine just as to start eating just type of cleaning product i remember they try to water their lawns again or a that didnt work out very well but to just eat chemicals like this because they are brightly colored seems like a complete collapse of society these three are saying when i was little my mom would say. We dont wash your mouth that was so now the millennial are just eating time pods to cleanse their entire system of all biological organic material and replace it with some kind of Industrial Chemical material im not however. So gross. Thats gross i want to go to the cave in the wrapper taste like something licking the bottom of a diesel engine. Im not sure im not sure its not totally a four ten hoax this story but nevertheless theres also been a story of the flame throwers and. His soul four Million Dollars of flame throwers all right once i know about wise you know im lost on flame throws i dont know you know hes been on twitter and hes been talking about flame throwers and selling flame throwers and selling baseball caps and doing all sorts of crazy stuff tweeting about i think you know somebody apocalypse isnt trying to defeat the zombies so hes selling flamethrowers as a good zombie deterrent and now some concerned people are trying to get regulators to stop them from selling flame thrower saying its dangerous but america started doing National French and i cant talk anymore because when im out to solve it in response to this incredible then walks of chemicals i dont not to do it some of. Them. Go get some water and then when i go i think its while they get some water i will read this first headline here these are the six traders who were just arrested for manipulating the gold market on monday morning we reported here at zero hedge that a number of traders currently or formerly employed by u. B. S. H. S. B. C. And Deutsche Bank as usual no j. P. Morgan us banks were touched would be perp walked and charged in an unprecedented cross Agency Crackdown between the c. F. To see d. O. J. And f. B. I. Seeking to punish spoofers of futures this was confirmed moments ago by a c f t c. The press release which announced criminal and Civil Enforcement actions against three banks and six individuals involved in commodities fraud and spoofing schemes so a bank is to pay thirty Million Dollars u. B. S. The fifteen Million Dollars and h. S. B. C. Spray one point five Million Dollars to settle these spoofing futures in the gold and silver markets all right well we were talking about this for ten years that these banks manipulate the price of gold and silver as a way to keep the dollar buoyant and keep the focus on the dollar and everyone argued that this was a not possible because for every bar there was a seller but in the world of naked futures and spoofing thats not true and now its come out these banks are manipulating the gold price and its still going on a by the way i mean this is just a slap on the wrist for a few banks that are engaged in manipulation but theyre the schemes continue and the price is continuing to be suppressed in this way and but people dont want to believe it because they have a cult like following of money in the u. S. Dollar you and i on here on the kaiser report have covered over and over the fact that weve had several people on whose show you live as its happening the spoofing happening in spoofing is creating the illusion that actual trades are happening and getting you know basically triggering stop loss orders and things like that to force people to dump their gold or silver it seems to mostly happen downward pressure downward but here we have these banks being charged with civil manipulation h. S. B. C. Again these are basically these alleged crimes that there are now paying fines for they happened up until two thousand and fourteen for those keeping count this is roughly the fourth time h. S. B. C. Has been found guilty of manipulating markets after the bank nearly lost its charter and swore it would never manipulate markets again remember you and i are. I ran in to eric holder at washington d. C. A airport Ronald Reagan airport and we confronted him about this and and he insisted to us that you know that they this was a suitable punishment for them that paying their fines went teach them a lesson and they wouldnt manipulate markets anymore but this is happening in these particular cases up until twenty fourteen twenty fifteen so still happening ongoing most part of their deferred prosecution agreement when they were caught laundering money for mexican drug cartels they are not a lot of when any kind of fraud or manipulation without losing a license now theyve done a four times and they continue to have a license so theres no law if you are in the Banking Industry theres no law that applies to you you can just steal money with reckless abandon and thats the bottom line now one of the guys arrested was actually he had his firm in chicago had devised an algorithm for the other guy arrested a few years ago in london who had been charged with causing the flash crash because he was spoofing s. And p. Futures and the many contracts and this company in chicago had devised the algorithm for him and they got off at that time they were not charged with anything because they said we you know we only designed an algorithm to this guy specifications we didnt do anything illegal with it but apparently that firm is then saw that they created that algorithm and said well why dont we use this and they started rigging markets as well. Illegal to have a flame thrower in the in a less delivery room for babies or Something Like that so its illegal to have algorithms to steal money which is what these algorithms do because theyre done in a way that makes certain folks some money they ignore it because a lot doesnt apply to them and we live in a two tier society theres laws that apply
