Thanks so much for joining me yeah thanks for having me so youre doing excellent journalism and one of the topics that i think youre one of the best on is julian assigns so i wanted to start off with talking about him obviously theres always developments in whats going on with him the continued persecution of joined us on recently they added extra indictments more indictments they added on a few weeks ago i mean there were already 17 indictments 17 or 18 by the Justice Department against him what the hell are they adding on to and whats the point of. Theyre just window dressing theyre trying to make their case look better but it really rests upon this Conspiracy Theory that theyve never been able to prove that julian assad and recruited Chelsea Manning to work for wiki leaks and she was inside the pentagon systems acting as some kind of spy and truly wasnt a military whistleblower and in effect the reason why we saw this superseding indictment where theyre now criminalizing not just julian assigns but its an escalation because they name weekly leaks staff in the indictment and theyre suggesting that theyre going to go after criminalize those people as well i believe why they did this is because back in march they had to dismiss the grand jury that was impaneled by president barack obama to destroy wiki leaks and then it lay dormant and it was awoken this beast was awoken by a jet Beauregard Sessions when he was the attorney general and then put to work by the trumpet ministration and they added this indictment because they were unable to get Chelsea Manning to testify and they were unable to get jeremy hannant another person involved in activity that adventure led to a few weeks of seeing the strap for files as so because they need to make their case look better as they pursue this extradition theyre now escalating this indictment but theres no doubt as you might imagine theres no new charges its all still very serious 17 charges of violating the espionage act in the one that makes it seem like he might be happier but they have no evidence that he was really engaged in hacking the or conspiring to hack against the pentagon Computer Systems where does the extradition process stand right now i mean theyre still fighting through what bring him back to the United States and not back bring him to the United States. You know is it is it looking likely that theyll honestly succeed in. Extraditing a publisher who isnt american has never operated in america and theyre going to extradite him to all america to be tortured is if there really a chance this that could happen. They would seem to have a favorable Magistrate Court judge in the u. K. Which shows the 1st obstacle youve got to have someone who can start increasing the wheels for ia so you can make this afternoon has been as barrettes are and so far shes had complete and total contempt for the human rights joining us on she said youre going to stay in the glass box at the back of this courtroom and youre not going to be allowed to sit with your attorneys because he is complaining that hes not able to follow along with the process this is a man who was charged with jumping bail because he sought political asylum and the u. K. Ecuador sweden and the United States collectively have made a mockery out of the institution of political asylum and they have to treat him like hes some super villain and keep him in this maximum security facility where he could die before this extradition hearing is even completed because hes vulnerable and is healthy period while he was in the ecuador embassy. Yeah he is greatly at risk of catching coven 19 considering hes already not very healthy. And and speaking of that its an easy segue to another whistleblower who also is in prison and also is fearing covert 19 reality winner she is the one who leaked the documents to the intercept and then was quickly caught and now is imprisoned as well youre been writing about her situation tell us where that stands yet have been covering her because it shows how the trumpet ministration continues what obama started with his war on whistleblowers and and just for the record there are 3 notable individuals who have been punished under the espionage act or face cases from donald trump and i dont think a lot of people know who these individuals are but outside of reality when are theres terry allbery who also provided documents to the intercept about f. B. I. Profiling of informants essentially and the racist aspects of it and then theres danielle and her health who provided also allegedly jack documents to Jeremy Scahill on drones and the way in which the Obama Administration was engaged in targeted assassinations at the this massive complex and so now you find reality when terrorists stuck in this facility that the bureau of prisons operates in Fort Worth Texas weve seen these spikes happening in the last 2 weeks particularly in texas because youve got politicians who deny science and dont think its a threat and since april shes been saying this would happen there would be a spike and appealed for compassionate release shes more than halfway through her sentence and now youve got nearly 20200 or more prisoners in this facility in fort worth that have the virus so exactly what she said would happen has happened and now theyre retaliating against her and i hear its because of a story that i wrote last week about what was going on i. I published some details from her family on what is going on in this facility and i also highlighted some local news reporting on the facility and the bureau of prisons instead of dealing with the matter and releasing people is choosing to just retaliate against reality when and it can be very cruel to these women in all of these prisons you get placed in solitary confinement or you get completely left for dead by the bureau of prisons if you get the fires moving on recently you wrote about another federal offense federal but another Court Shooting down the ag gag laws that have been you know by state to state theyve been trying to pass these laws that basically wont allow people to film inside a factory farming is where factory farming where the most disgusting horrific situations anyone could ever imagine i mean anyone ive ever heard whos actually seen what goes on in there walks out and at the minimum says theyre never eating factory farmed meat again many of them become vegetarians or something but anyway talk about the laws. Well they may even be puking right on the scene trying to digest what theyre just right witness no i think theyre like this is a Success Story in some ways because youve seen several states where the courts have shot this down and theyve recognized it for what these groups have advocated and you have people like the Animal Legal Defense Fund that have led the charge in challenging these laws and they say that it will chill whistleblowing a middle path to freedom of speech freedom of expression and also theyre not hiding that they want to be able to have undercover activists go in and do these investigations and then release details of corruption or animal cruelty exception about how our industrial farm system works in the United States and the judges have bought these and most states and i think to the theme of hacks which we have going in the segment you have basically these States Government mostly republicans which i think these laws come from ally which is that they were counsel that drafts these really extreme corporate laws that are usually rather crude by their design and theres no reason for this law and the judges are finding that theres no reason to have this law because you have trespassing laws on the books in states so to pass this law to stop people from trespassing on farms allegedly it doesnt pass the smell test because you know immediately that theres Something Else behind why theyre passing this law. Yeah well it is good to see the earliest a bunch of them have been shot down because you know we should see we should see all of this we should see how our food is made if we if we so choose we should see whats going on in our government i mean we need a lot more transparency and all of these things are aimed at going in the reverse. You have transparency i saw you tweeted about these masked on identified militarized federal agents that have been kidnapping on armed protesters in Portland Oregon now since the initial kind of uproar over that we now know that they were under the d. A. Jaspar but Homeland Security the head of d. H. S. S. Tried to act like this is perfectly normal and you know he literally said like on mark to cop cars are common but this seems like were speeding up a kind of down that path towards fascism and i am i overstating that. No i dont think so im terribly concerned because the latest news reporting im hearing from chicago is that there could be around 150 agents deployed in the city of chicago this week and through the weekend and that chicago might be the next site for what happened in portland and youve got multiple cases of people just being snatched theyre not told why theyre snatched beyond the fact that the videos look terrifying because you see these people in fatigues come out grab people throw them in a van and the van drives off and you dont know what just happened theres this reality that nobodys told why theyre being picked up you sit down when youre in custody and they tried to trap you into incriminating yourself they you decide that you dont want to provide any information you asked for a lawyer and then they realize you cant mess around with you so then you get let go into 3 hours but its all over the guise of protecting federal property which is. Total ruse a total scam on their part and as it turns out what theyre really doing is theyre driving the streets looking for anyone black theyre profiling people you know sure theyre like can we find somebody who we think funded by george soros and tossed and cheap into the fans and then they continue and again like i think hacks and this whole theme of like conspiracies like i feel like so much of our government right now these days functions upon these conspiracy fs that they wove in the span a season conjured in their minds about who these people are on the streets and using whistleblowing and its very trip troubling that theyre going to expand this to other cities beyond portland and try to enforce the laws and this is an agency the department of Homeland Security that shouldnt even exist as a no reason for its existence we have the n. S. A. We have the f. B. I. We have the cia doing foreign stuff we have no reason for the department of Homeland Security and they. And i can they can do basically anything under the guise of National Security and its a National Security and you cant even ask what theyre doing its totally ridiculous well of one minute left but i wanted to get to jen perlman real quick shes running against Debbie Wasserman schultz down in florida arguably one of the most hated and entrenched democrats in the entire Democratic Party ws has as shes known has succeeded in kind of scamming her way to victory each and every time she faces a challenger against him going over they basically just said she won and then destroyed all of the ballots so there could be no recount anyway does gen pearlman have a shot here and what makes her unique as a politician in one minute here. You know shes got a lot of good indorsements from presss and the folks who were behind backing Sanders Bernie sanders his campaign. I think shes very strong i was impressed that shes someone whos willing to speak about dismantling the military Industrial Complex and sure credit even though Debbie Wassermann schultz and her ilk bait her shes very strong on the issue of venezuela saying that shes not going to be beholden to white rich venezuelans in her district and she cares about the lower class middle class working class people who are from latin america who actually support maturer or see things a different way in the country so shes really to stand up against the special corporate interests that Debbie Wasserman schultz has cozied up to so much throughout her 16 years of being involved in representing people in florida yeah corporations and Debbie Wassermann schultz are definitely bedfellows kevin thanks so much everybody can follow your work and shadow proof dot com really appreciate it.

Always the issue of trying to explain you know in the American Election cycle. And by the trade themselves as being tough and maybe they are at least rhetorically but reality tells a very different story and its bipartisan the commanding heights of industry and finance for the china pregame. Show is this china. Welcome back im still leave camp now we go to correspondent a only care of on me for the weekly offensive. Thankfully for some this pandemic has been an early christmas while brick and mortar businesses were shutting their doors at the biggest Corporate Consulting firm went into sales mode and received millions and no bid government contracts this is what pro publica reports as a bonanza mckinsey is making more than 100000000. 00 vising on the governments bumbling Coronavirus Response so you want to advise a virus so kinsey are you doctors or medical researchers you know well are you c. P. R. Certified. No not even that could you be soothsayers ok youre through failures but have no tarot cards. Were. 100000000. 00 is just on what contracts are public now states such as california new jersey and major cities such as it lands chicago and los angeles and Government Agencies some of the health of mckinsey voodoo this includes a v. A. Which relaxed mask requirements for Health Care Workers and seen who ordered 10000000. 00 in testing kits its now warning states now to you. I hate when you order something online and it doesnt fit there or its contaminated medical equipment never buying the vintage animals again thats for sure. So what the hell does a consultant do if there arent doctors were locks were which is a top official in floridas Miami Dade County wrote basically theyre compiling data for us and putting it in pretty for men in sort of the meta going to reopening which confuse the already confused floridians with way too many flags as much as there are those profiteering from the plague there are those cashing in on the movement for Racial Justice theres been a boom in that Diversity Consulting business the leading antiracist guru is the author of white fragility rather than dangelo a corporate consultant who leads antibias workshops her book is the number one bestseller on amazon right now when she ironically is a white lady profiting off of racism now americans simply didnt want to learn about race from a black person thats uncomfortable they wanted to speak with racism manager the book has become the bible of white guilt and it says loony as it is dangerous pseudoscience the original sin of america and every White American is racism according to dangelo when the cure to solving racism is to have every white person look inward and then bark on a lifelong project of confronting their racial bias ease and noble endeavor and after all it is an at home activity the c. D. C. Recommends several hours of soul crushing white guilt today as much as i love the idea of monetizing white guilt or writing a check for White Privilege this antiracism training manual leads one to buy into a whole new system of White Supremacy where white people are the only ones with agency and black americans are no more than victims plus new Research Suggests that antibias training can backfire because training whether consciously or subconsciously activates stereotypes and wait for jodi is in the end a book. How to make certain educated white readers feel better about themselves white readers or white guilt seminar attendees will know theyve done something meaningful by examining how much they as white people suck and then decide they dont need to do anything really tangible to help anyone volunteer races the profit of white guilt dangelo says in her book wanting to jump over the hard personal work and get to solutions is a foundation of white for jodi solutions are racist and action is racist how convenient for Corporate America and Companies Like amazon that they dont need to think about discriminatory hiring practices or a living wage for black employees racism can be solved and getting all the white people in the room and having them sell flagellate so much that they like it. The antiracism consulting industry also serves a more sinister role in keeping real corporate civil Rights Violations hidden holding an antiracism training however ineffective can be a legal shield against a civil rights lawsuit they have to admire mckinsey the angelo and all the other grifters taking advantage of these current crises the rise of hiring consultants to deal with these things says more about the government in companies who hire them they just want to answers on what to do are they the right answers who know and frankly who cares if you do i think you might have an answer bias. And finally lets take a minute to learn about perhaps the only american to actually get paid reparations for slavery correspondent Natalie Mcgill has the mind blowing old news. There to bring up the subject of reparations for slavery around the white people and youre bound to feel like youre kreg from the movie friday when his friend smokey says well you might not vote but if you made an argument against reparations that you had nothing to do with slavery or that its impossible to achieve then you may have heard the story of Henrietta Wood a former slave who in 870 sued for reparations and won until now i would have said that is about as likely to happen as washington d. C. Is Football Team changing its racist name but with a team name change all the horizon it looks like these pigs will fly born into slavery in kentucky between 18181820 would was eventually sold during her teenage years to a frenchman named william so rode who lived with his wife jane in new orleans but william returned to france without jade who vento would with her to cincinnati ohio. Where she legally registered her as a free woman and 1848 but just those rich kids fight over their parents inheritance james daughter josephine consider a vote her rightful property and josephine enlisted the help of a Deputy Sheriff in covington kentucky a set meal of ward to kidnap her and return her to the south even once employer a boarding house keeper named for backup boyd was in on the kidnapping offering to make sure wood was on a carriage ride that would stop at a location where they were waiting to capture her so to kind of quote the late d. C. Mayor marion barry the set her up a fire at the ohio courthouse for would earn her freedom destroyed her freedom papers and her captors seized her only copy even an early lawsuit an innkeeper filed on her behalf was tossed which gave zabulon board the freedom to sell her to slave owner Gerard Brandon in mississippi a man who was determined to keep wood and hundreds of other slaves in bondage well after the civil war after more than a dozen years of re captivity would now a mother earn her freedom again in 866. 00 and eventually return to the north and with the help of a lawyer whose family hired wood as a Domestic Worker she sued a secular ward in 870. 00 for 20000. 00 and reparations and a case that historian w. Caleb mcdaniel noted would drag on for 8 years due to a number of obstacles. Those obstacles big daniel told specifically a magazine or that words lawyer stalled claiming that her failed ante bellum suit for freedom proved his innocence they also said that wards alleged crimes had occurred too far in the past a recurring argument against reparations and similar award i seem to recall another kentucky man who looks and sounds like he just bombed an audition for the colonel in a k. F. C. Ad making that exact same argument about reparations some 150 years later yet despite the odds and an all white male jury henrietta would earn a juror and 878 say we the jury in the above entitled cause do fine for the plaintiff and assess her damages and the premises at 2500. 00 of course knowing that she asked for 20000. 00 and only received 2500. 00 is like asking for a drum kit just getting the sticks or asking for frazier reunion t. V. Special where the only character who shows up is the dog. Reparations wont erase the atrocities of slavery and it wont fix the resulting systemic racism that black and brown people and dirt today and some cities are trying to address that in mid july the asheville North Carolina city Council Voted unanimously to back slavery reparations in the form of Community Investment any full nuanced approach to writing these wrongs wont just be about distributing money it will be about changing the laws that create a system of inequality because theres no amount of times you can bend mill your black friend out of white guilt that will change that. But dont stop general in your black friends though we need protests posterboard money and beer money in a new dress because this one has stains on its name.
