A tremendous collapse of the capitalist state institutions that are supposed to help people during a crisis the guidelines for what to do have been all over the place the medical gear is not available the hospitals are overwhelmed that the test still arent widely available in the u. S. Can you talk about why it is that our institutions have failed us so it thoroughly. You see you can. See the lazy shit by the budget or government how do you know what is so gallus legal austerity should actually leave. The United States government since the financial crisis of 2008 has deeply cut into these areas the area of education and social. Which is why on the one side there was no real preparation for the emergency on the other side you know you have a relatively hallucination driven Political Class just not science based you know they dont actually have an understanding of reality it seems to me so right. That the World Health Organization theyve led a blue pandemic donald trump and alex is expected 3 were going to try to convince the public that this is not a big deal this was right up to my to lead and so when you had a hallucination driven political last certainly not going to mobilize whatever it is sausage that was the book and because of austerity there are very few indeed you would try to mobilize these resources of course they didnt they did nothing this ad only hands and now theyre back. Yeah its a great way to describe it a whole use a nation driven class that that that Political Class the ruling wealthy class youve said they are their world order is kind of crumbling the neo liberal world order is crumbling under corona shock can you explain. Yes you know i mean its 2 Different Things on the one side i think people the general public have come to understand that this austerity model has left populations otherly unprepared to deal with. Anything and there will be more up and its a little bit more inward in the cities and if theyre not a bit slow its certainly not going to be for the next one unless you change things whether that link to this is you know the language of essential workers and the idea that medical workers nurses doctors or janet good ambulance drivers except censure is actually news to this sector because theres been at least 2 decades of the Union Busting against nurses against ambulance drivers and so on so i think theres a general understanding in the lack of resources lack of respect basic respect of these workers and when things are no longer in an emergency state will be remembered that i think thats a very important i believe that the memory of being in a crisis and seeing these essential workers must outlive the crisis itself linked to this of course is move seemed the biggest general strike global general strike which should now reveal to people that its a liver that creates wear and not a bridge nurse and once you remove leave work in the billions from the economy everything collapses its labor that creates well this is a valid this is a. Major work in the 19th century you have spent you spent time in many countries yasser study many countries and written about them how is how is india dealt with this pandemic has it been different in different areas of the country. India is the mirror of its i mean the Indian Government has this sort of new nish are as the worst you know these kind of events and it has been. You mean it spent hundreds of millions of workers Migrant Workers on the road some of them who are almost a 1000 miles. Mean but they have to be where you see a completely different act in the indian state of get a little resistance in the southwest its ruled by a bonus there the government. Used to it was a lot of action the state more or less resources exerted were moving under the Tri Continental Institute for social research which youre the director of you put out a platform of 16 steps to confront this crisis i wanted to just talk about a few of them that you are said the the state must assume the cost of the wages during the korean team the immediate socialization and nationalization of hospitals and medical centers so that theyre now worrying about profits and the Immediate International Cooperation Amongst them to find a vaccine an easier testing and then the abolishment of intellectual property in the medical field can you talk especially about that one because that is something we hear nothing about on our Corporate Media airwaves. You see when a crisis in woods is governments come in with trillions of dollars or or big money to bail out the private sector if youre billing of the private sector youre sensually digging it could be in the private sector why not just you know why would you bill it out and then we drop it specially in that piece of the medical field and you know pharmaceuticals of president s and you see pharmaceutical Companies Many drugs where there is dissipated profit in other words for. The rich more than that get the book this is just a limited capitalism thats what i promise you a little governments do they all stoop what happened on their drugs and therefore the price of the drugs a very high what if you look at this carefully but most of the research for rightly headed back to is done with money in the United States the national suitable government gaijin sees you know finance universities that do the primary research which result eventually in a drug back to did by a private company or private company doesnt dilute any benefit to the government for the kind of money that it used in developing that drug because of that essentially this happens or intellectual Property Rights x. Private companies it doesnt predict people we need to ask what critics people that should be the primary focus for humanity is whats best for people not whats best for profit yeah thats a great point that were its our tax dollars that fund the research and then they exploit it and you know wont allow people to get access to it without spending our own money to get to have to buy back of a vaccine or the medicine weve created the platform also includes the suspension of the dollar as an International Currency why is that important right now. Weve seen what happens again in a crisis and you know crises ready or because theyve demonstrated whats normal in a room all of this crisis began and it looked like they had you know generally. A lot of rich people around the planet played other economies and came to the us brought dollars abandoning other. This creates a big problem around the world do you whats happened is because the United States dollar by and large is used to settle. Outside the United States the u. S. Government essentially ruined as much money as it wants without having to bear the cost of inflation you know essentially exporting inflation to the rest and this is ited States Government its not good for the rest of the planet and you know we have a sort of International Currency or the standard drawing rights we just use by the International Monetary fund but since the i. M. F. International Monetary Fund is essentially controlled by the u. S. Treasury department the i. M. F. Cannot make the s. D. R. Distended growing rights an International Currency in fact theyve just rejected an application by the government of venezuela to have access to its own standard or to grow rights which just sitting in washington d. C. So their own money theyre not able to access this means we dont have the ability to have i dont see outside the dollar the dollar that having the dollars and us are suitable for the American Government its to go to wall street but its not so good if you live in calcutta yeah but im glad you mentioned venezuela one of the other planks on the platform is to end the economic sanctions economic war on various countries and the us is doing exactly the opposite where were amping im up we recently announced like a 15000000. 00 i think bounty on president maduro has had a which is basically unheard of for a country or. Ostensibly not at war with can you talk about venezuela and why the u. S. Is so eager to attack it well you know just when the bennett was developing the un security or the un secretary general and only we did it has made a very important point he quoted court of global ceasefire he said no law was lets focus on dealing with this Global Pandemic well the United States has been at war with and it will its not a conventional shooting war but its what we call a hybrid war its an inflammation or its an economic war diplomatic well its sort of what it is and so on why it is going to have to venezuela is an important its not a recent issue this is goes back to the election which i was in 1990 and the opening of a cycle of governments across latin america that for essentially for their resources to be used for their own you know right up to china is going to be elected the head of addicts who are which is one of the worst lie just Mining Companies in canada the head of this company mr thats rude all inch i was addicted to why i was chosen he did it because he was going to prevent bad of gold for treating venezuela like its all property he wanted to and its really people who seem as well as their sovereign property imagine that you kind of live in your own opposed this is about a good is concerned if you live in your own house during the day it yeah theres nothing more horrible to the corporate titans than the idea that a country might own its own resources and give the profits to their people.

To keep fees to cover the cost of certain on Campus Services<\/a> which are no longer available to students paying exorbitant amounts of tuition for learning ancient greek mustve felt like a scam before but now paying thousands of dollars to log on to your colleges version of you tube must feel extra scam me if you wanted to learn Animal Husbandry<\/a> through video staying home at your parents you wouldnt have applied to college and now that creepy professor is extra creepy because hes not wearing pants people are starting to worry will anything be the same or will the only businesses thats arrive be the places that can afford to create its own patrons like this Baseball Club<\/a> in taiwan that has cardboard cutouts of fans and thats all the insanity i have for you today we now go to redacted correspondent Natalie Mcgill<\/a> with some mind blowing old news. Unless you have a peloton by a cord indoor track in your house you may find it hard these days to get rigorous exercise without fear of catching the plea thats why it might be hard to believe there was once a plague that actually increased your cardiovascular exercise. Until your heart gave. It was called the dancing plague also known as dancing mania a phenomenon in europe between the 14th and 17th century in which break outs of spontaneous dancing were spurred by just one person before afflicting thousands of europeans one of the 1st recorded occurrences of this literal boogie fever was in germany and 1374 when describing the scene in germany just this hacker author of the 888 book the black death and the dancing mania wrote they formed circles hand in the hand and appearing to have lost all control over their senses continued dancing regardless of the bystanders for hours together and while delirium until at last they fell to the ground in a state of exhaustion actually that sounds less like a plague and more like a Bachelorette Party<\/a> in new orleans as silly as a dancing plague sounds it was a real Health Problem<\/a> and unfortunately in the 17th century treatments were as medical as sound as a game of operation played on an active fault line. But this lack of medical know how it was apparent during a notable july 1518 outbreak of dancing plague and strong which is now modern day france author and history Professor John<\/a> waller told the b. B. C. That in search of a solution authorities were convinced that the afflicted would only recover if they danced day and night basically it was turned into an episode of soul train except will likely weigh less rhythm or court nation and if youre having trouble picturing this just remember that soul train minus rhythm and coordination equals most dancers on american bandstand. Even though the dance mania started with one woman dancing in the middle of strong the number of people who joined her group so much. That by the end of august 1518 about 400 people had experienced the madness not until Early September<\/a> did the epidemic recede after many of their hearts literally stopped beating yet whats just those important as the strange compulsion to dance is the mass hysteria that fuel it given the dancing plague in 1518. 00 occurred during the prolonging period of famine and disease while the 1374. 00 dancing playing coincided with another and much more infamous plague called the black death which killed up to 200000000 people according to waller it is much more likely for someone to enter a trance such as a never ending dance when your mental and physical health is under attack and here in america weve been known to embrace mass hysteria its the reason why mccarthyism still exists today and why y2k panic convinced americans the stock up on top go on me because the world could end on january 1st 2000. And it also explains why we currently have thousands of people across the us who feel compelled to yell outside their State Capitol<\/a> because they literally want to die for a decent man a cure and a night out at red lobster.
