The news which is why im not going to give you those stories those tired stories im to give you the hidden stories and heres one of them this pandemic has been made worse and continues to be made worse by toxic nationalism which is hilarious considering the virus doesnt get by your borders it doesnt care if you put above or you speak a different language or youre an immigrant or you got circumcised in a ceremony where the shah minute chanting and buckets of mangoes and there were bagpipes playing virus doesnt give a 3rd are talking about how one country is better or worse or whatever right now during this pandemic its like youve all heard of angry rhinos was stampeding towards you and youre talking about how you have nicer shoes on than the guy next to you ride knows dont care or rhino is going to kill for you all when the court with the when the coronavirus was 1st being talked about or government and our media used it as a chance for anti china propaganda the New York Times put it this way to tame coronavirus malice style social control blankets china oh no social control you mean like everyone stay 6 feet away from each other no one go to a restaurant travel restrictions you mean the stuff were now doing in america. But when in doubt racism is always the best bet in a pandemic in fact our buffoon of a president continues to call it the chinese virus because his is a very simple minded man and he can only think in bad and good so he thinks china bad so when hes told that a virus doesnt care about your nationality the 2 hamsters running around the wheels in his cranium they look at each other kind of confused and then they go back to licking their. Trunk cannot comprehend that china has actually been able to slow down this virus and their reaction actually helped by us time by us extra time that doesnt even compute for our salamander in chief even the New York Times are propaganda in chief if you will has finally admitted china bought the west time the west squandered it yeah sorry about all that racists we printed a month ago weve completely changed our ways until a month from now when we go back to pushing for white supremacist wars where we get to blow up arab people look folks right now this moment is its horrible and its traumatic and its also important time it showing us not just the incredibly ridiculous flaws in capitalism but its also showing us our shared humanity were in this together we must join together to fight this thing and shared our toxic nationalism but our sociopathic leaders wont do that no of course not as men president porting amid corona Virus Outbreak americas hybrid war on venezuela heats up u. S. Sanctions are going to have already forced the country to spend 3 times as much for testing kits as nonsentient countries iran. Has also suffered tremendously because of our sanctions on them they cant deal with the virus appropriately without the proper medical supplies plus last week google pulled a runs of official app for dealing with corona virus basically our government and the Tech Companies that are in bed with them want to make sure as many people die from corona virus as possible in iran and venezuela and the other countries that they dont like. But i can service us enough the virus doesnt care d i dont care frogmen some countries have figured this out theyve already they get it and theyre turning to each other and joining other countries for help this past weekend cuban and chinese doctors arrived in italy to assist the Health Authorities cuba has the interferon alpha to be powerful in the treatment of corona virus and china has the experience of having overcome the peak of infections in its territory so as the infections in the us ramp up are we turning to countries that were previously our enemies for advice now wed rather stick to our racist zina phobic policies while all of our grandparents die this is america were committed to our racism i dont care of im down on one knee with a sort of mob throw rocks filled call you racist nicknames you havent even heard before your god damn sand dune. But heres something you wont hear on your mainstream outlets and all your corporate. Heres something thats for britain maybe just maybe. This pandemic is showing us its time to evolve past the idea of nations. We are nations are a given as if theres no other way to behave except to have your flags colors a tad too to crush your nipples but in fact the idea of nations isnt even that old they didnt really exist until the late 18th hundreds john briley of the London School of economics says its far from timeless the nation state is a recent phenomenon before the late 18th century there were no real nation states neither passports nor borders as we know them existed and even as nations begin developed began developing they werent that important to a lot of people many Eastern European immigrants arriving in the us in the 19th century could say what village they came from but not what country it didnt matter to them ancient empires are colored on our modern maps as if they had firm borders but they didnt so only a 150 years ago this changed and nations became the hot new thing in 1800 almost nobody in france thought of themselves as french by 1900 they all did so an idea the took hold 150 years ago has come to rule our minds like a parasite we cant imagine being separated in any other ways but what if we decided that the working people of the world were one group and the insanely witch of the world were another group. You could be divided that way instead and then the working people of china would be able to help the working people of italy or america or vice versa because guess what were not at war with each other do you think i have anything against a damn shoe salesman in china or a garbage man in cuba now its all to a rich of the world who are at war with each other not us not you and me so as we continue to do everything we need to do to stop this virus also keep in mind our world is a valving and that can be a good thing as the book the universe next door from new scientist states most hierarchical systems tend to become top heavy expensive and incapable of responding to change but see top heavy jack expensive super check and incapable of responding to change ding ding ding ding ding ding in fact the democratic establishment has just spent billions of dollars in the primaries to make sure that they do not allow change into our system oh my god they hated they do change i got like a little rock in there is sure theyre like all all in what i can get this thing out i was a goddamn and theres a guy talking about health care as a human right and it really hurts every time i take a stab. Anyway when you end up with a top heavy expensive hierarchy that cant adapt it creates a lot of tensions the resulting tension may be released through partial collapse collapse say some is the Creative Destruction that allows new structures to emerge. Partial collapse you say hold on let me look around. Check i mean a lot but if theres a partial collapse i dont know what it is a lot of kentucky fried chickens are closed k. F. C. Doesnt glowed for like Nuclear Meltdowns this is chaos we are witnessing a partial collapse so that means its time for new structures to emerge and were in this together its not about nations or fences or Political Parties its about you and me and our neighbors and our friends and our shared humanity youre not alone were in this together. Company from washington d. C. The belly the basis redacted tonight. Well im larry king am now is take the news from behind do you need some good news i feel i feel like writing isnt good as you probably do the past 3 days the best news i got was that now that all my toilet paper is gone my cat has agreed to let me share the litter box whether. Its got it in there ill say its crowded. So there is some good news Chelsea Manning as winter lays from prison yeah. Its kind of awkward with the quad can we get that can you push the button with the cheering and you push the to thank you to you to yes ok ok you know that turn it off i am she was released from prison after being held for a year simply for not cooperating with a secretive grand jury that should be should be should be unconstitutional it should be if we had a if we had a court without. A shred of decency they dont just only dont tidy their own stretch of decency the width of a wooden sprites. Then it would be unconstitutional and the judge is still charging manning a quarter 1000000. 00 in fines she has no money and no job how am i was she supposed to pay a quarter 1000000. 00 wait actually the go fund me to pay her fines has already exceeded that amount. Ah i believe that the activists version of stock. Yes yet again we see that our government and our court system is in the business of violating human rights and we all have to turn to the standard redeemer of human rights go fund me pretty soon i think we might have a 75 percent go fund me based economy wall street for the rich go fund me for the rest speaking of that you probably noticed were ian in the economic crisis the markets have already lost everything they gained since trump got into office and then everything went go all the least off the wall street and massive tax cuts of the reds all of that wiped out. I mean all the games this crisis is what happens when no one in america can go out and go to dinner and shop and consume but heres what the Mainstream Media will never ask why do we have an entire economy based on consumption based on eating the world alive based on buying shoes we dont need and sweaters for our dogs and paying 18. 00 for avocado toast which you can have when you havent got a p. C. Based on avocado toast youre already. Point is this is not just a virus related to economic crash the health of our society should never have been measured by how much we eat and buy and throw away and trash and pollute it should be measured by how many people are healthy and happy how many people feel secure and fulfilled and how good the sex is thats how it should be that it should be measured by by how many people wake up in the morning and go our job. Versus how many wake up in the morning a girl was for sank woke up. Put it this way cookie monster made cookies and even cookies make him happy if the economy around him were based on amount of cookies even then it would be doing quite well right now be doing amazing they can be incredible while youre driving around but then we look at elmo now most quite happy hes enjoying life especially when tickled. But hes not eating any cookies so if you measure him by the number of cookies eaten. His economys a disaster thats our fault and then we become jobless and homeless and not be allowed to get health care and everyone would see him and go you loser pull yourself up by the fur on your legs. But why do that why measure him by cookies eating why not just measure his happiness and try to achieve worldwide optimal joyfulness and why even measure of cookie monster only by cookies eating i do probably have diabetes and high Blood Pressure might die from a massive coronary tomorrow so then why did we say he was doing so well because we were only measuring Gross National cookie eating thats our economy. That analogy helped you a lot or your made now more confused than ever but your hunger for coke hunger for coke is really whats important point is were ruled by sociopaths i think was that i think there was a point. So as our economy collapses one of the 1st moves the Federal Reserve took was to inject 1. 00 trillion dollars into wall street in order to prop it up and it did almost nothing to help us except prove that our rulers care more about wall street than about us wanting to have trillion dollars injected into the i get its not given away rights its again its a loan basically its close we paid back but it but that that amounts to 5000. 00 for every single adult in america and even if that were just a loan for a year that would have had a major impact im not saying there wont be a stimulus package come down the pike but it will be too little too late. Stacked on a corrupt system they have created a system that exploits 90 percent of us in order to feed the sociopaths at the top and there is no way to prop up this leaning jenga tower by sticking piles of cash on top its not going to do it as it falls it is time for us to build something new something that focuses on life and sustainability. And i think we can do it if you go to a short break but since you might be sitting at home with everything canceled this means you have time to watch my free standup comedy special at least camp american dot com thats right my stand up comedy special will be free for a limited time also grab the new r t america app portable t. V. Which is also free at portable dot tv slash download over about a lot more. Well done Charles Dickens captured the moment in the christmas count being a condemnation of capitalism wasnt yes you know the ghost of christmas future was neoliberalism visiting upon the president to try to warn people what happens when you financial lies the Global Economy and you do 3 or 400 years with the consumption today christmas being a holiday of consumption losing its its significance as a spiritual soulful occasion and here we are you know weve all been very very naughty and weve all been sent to our room and were all sitting in our rooms now thinking about what we did this is a moment of self reflection for the Global Community to sit in your room and think about what you. Micrographs friends arent slights against you know whites or men for example theres their slights against women or nonwhites so its always you know the idea is that statements that directed toward a Privileged Group are interpreted differently than a statement directed towards an oppressed group and so thats kind of the whole framework and its its a political framework thats used the result is of course focusing at least on certain kinds of minor slights and say well rather than ignore more than we need to call attention to them but its not all slight so its a very political in this context. Welcome back im still a camp with millions staying inside this week believe it or not the troubled ministration is taking the opportunity to continue its assault on clean air laws for more im joined by our toxic correspondent anders really and whereas Anders Anders lay over here. Looks like youre taking the social distancing thing a little too far through what about kareem abduljabbar. Tell me about the assault on clean air laws bear claws no i just say really im fine i want to talk about the Clean Air Act the trumpet ministration is taking on californias attorney general in court to beat back the states waiver that allows california to set their emission standards at a stricter rate than the federal governments that sounds like a good things for them they be allowed to regulate emissions on their own if it is going to keep their heads up their look wait this waiver is bad news for the Auto Industry thats why the national Highway Traffic Safety Administration has begged the e. P. A. To revoke it they argue that california was illegally using emission standards as a way to split the National Vehicle market in 2 by forcing manufacturers to sell more fuel efficient vehicles not only in california but also in the dozen plus other states that were following its lead and what the hells wrong with that the more fuel efficient vehicles the better now youre in any its what. I mean riveting i did hear what you said and it was riveting look the out only factor still have to make all those fuel efficient vehicles for the states that arent as who he toity as california what does fuel efficient mean anyway or their cars running on a kotto though it means the engines are starting to look i really cant hear what youre saying anyway the e. P. A. Pulled the waiver back in september right before President Trump tweeted out. As would be produced into the new in uniform standard meaning significantly jabs jabs jabs at him make you should seize the opportunity because without this a 3rd of the california you will be out of business. Hes threatening companies into producing more of gas guzzlers its like if the f. B. I. Penalize colgate for not putting enough arsenic in the toothpaste yes but trumps statements havent stopped some Car Companies from taking their cues from sacramento instead of washington this is left the white house fuming last year 4 major automakers agreed to abide by californias standards when designing their cars over the coming years further infuriating the Trump Administration in response the Justice Department launched an antitrust investigation against these companies trying to figure out if they were colluding to push up the price of their vehicles sees this what the hell is he thinking trump likes loyalty if these Car Companies want to stand his good side hes got to know theyre not running around being environmentally conscious behind his back he needs their allegiance so they can help the president fight his real enemy the state of california. For crying out loud i mean the white house concerned that eventually no one will be able to breathe the air or any any clarity late for the love of god you know i just ate im trying to report on air pollution and all you want to do is talk about deserts get older yourself whatever thanks for joining me. Never mind moving on President Trump used one of his White House Press conferences during the pandemic to prop up corporate c. E. O. s as our saviors but he seems to forget that some of those companies pledging help dont have a great track record when it comes to serving consumers or their workers for more we go to our truth bomb now let me gil. If you havent found a way to capitalize off of this coronavirus pandemic are you really an american and i dont just mean that prick from tennessee who hoard it nearly 18000 bottles of Hand Sanitizer to sell online it marked up prices. The good news i
