Shape out of disdain he comes to advocate and in the game equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart when shes to look for common ground. Greetings and sell you. When surveying the wide field of news these days one can stumble upon a 1000000 different plot lines whether its another bumbled u. S. Led tempt in venezuela this time using former u. S. Soldiers turned mercenaries to the very real surveillance state inspired fears that are gaining ground with each new revelation coming out of the u. S. Government and silicon valleys plans for potential Contact Tracy but its the plotline that is with unfolding in the african country of somalia since the birth of 2020 that we will focus on today in particular its the very under reported fact that since january 1st 2020 the United States government through the pentagons Africa Command has been conducting a brutal barrage of air strikes inside the battered nation just security dot com reports that in the 1st few months of 2020 the u. S. Has already conducted at least 39 air strikes in somalia to put that in perspective africa carried out 63. 00 airstrikes during the entirety of 2019. In fact nick turse the fantastic journalist who has consistently been a thorn in africa side he points out that u. S. Africa command has conducted more air strikes in somalia than it did during all of Barack Obamas 8 years in office. Yes my friends it appears that while the world has been targeting covert 19 the Us Government has decided to target small ians remember back in early april when the United Nations secretary general and tony will get better stick laird to the world that quote there should be only one fight in our world today our shared battle against cold with 19 we must mobilize every ounce of energy to defeat it. Well get this according to an Africa Press Release the very day that the u. N. Leader called for a global ceasefire the United States military was dropping bombs on somalia. Wonder what our priorities are lets find out as we start watching all this. In a city street. Like. This you always see. Graves see this least systemic deception is so much. Welcome aboard watching the robot i was well made to look at this apparently during all this time fighting viruses we still have time to drop some bombs on some brown people around the world one thing us love to do that started because when they remain 3rd we will always have 5 kids by to disarm a whole population of people particularly those that we pull for good good point very good point its crazy i mean last year under President Donald Trump the u. S. Conducted 63. 00 air attacks in somalia that was the most ever in a single year since the beginning of the year africa when i was 39. 00 airstrikes in somalia the command mounts total 36 such attacks from 2002017 i mean thats saying they were seeing these numbers rise like that i mean in 2016 it peaked and are about about with just 19 i dont know why were dropping bombs on somalia in the 1st place like no ones quite you know alshabaab terrorist whatever but this seems excessive at this point that 6 was going to be my question what is the reasoning i dont know what the reasoning was under the Obama Administration either but the reason for the uptick all the other all the areas that were involved in all of the International Conflict all of the resolution they were supposed to be binding in areas across the middle east but also you know the Global Economy and all the different intricacies there. Why i had to choose somalia why to continue to utilize our our military forces in that way also the cost associated with it and i have no answers as to why this is the plan of action and think that people should start asking those questions well im sure youre in luck because the pentagon has some really wonderful answers for you are you ready for this ok there we go. The april 3rd strike that just recently happened. In somalia u. S. Marine corps Brigadier General brad verjee gehring of africa he did these the Deputy Director of operations so he might have some answers he says quote its our commanders responsibility to support our partners so this terrorist Group Alshabaab can expand and strike the u. S. Homeland as its leaders desire to do. Ok i mean basically this falls into the same thing of like the u. S. As you know that their air strikes are assisting the government of somalia in order to you know when its war against the state armed Group Alshabaab the terrorist group to increase the security of smaller people in the you know to keep them from you know coming to our shores and tackling us and also to keep the terrorists from indiscriminately attacking innocent civilians and so what extent has that success been measured. Well were very good at killing civilians and you know extent that we measured i mean its really it really blows my mind because to me its like its the standard tired excuse to use all the time its we have to attack these terrorists over here because they might come back here except the more people that we kill on the ground the more civilians we kill in these airstrikes the more terrorists we create and the more people and i mean al shabaab has grown that died and i mean astronomically since the u. S. Spurstow operations in africa why because of our influence their aim the more you do it the more you increase the you more and the more you destabilize that area and i think that there is something to be said about that as well and the amount of trust that somalian people have with the u. S. To the. Government knowing that these casualties work and continue to happen on a regular basis thats a really good point its you cant build d trust when youre killing civilians i mean it really does it it really does hurt i mean Amnesty International reported deaths of 14 civilians in just 5 airstrikes last year that they were able to even begin to investigate you know africa says they investigate but they dont actually talk to families they dont talk to people find out actually who was killed they just claim it was all terrors it sounds a lot like what we were claiming you know what was going on in iraq right after the war although everyone is an insurgent. Where theres a will theres a way and where theres a big business the little man will always come up short at least thats what were seeing in ohio where the State Government has concocted a way to continue putting workers at risk for covert 19 meanwhile abstain from paying them Unemployment Benefits if the Buckeye State reopens its its economy leaders fear some will refuse to work or quit due to the threat of coronavirus so be clear workers should be afraid considering mitigation efforts are minimal and a mutated strain of the virus was recently announced. Ohio seems to what workers to pay that no mind at all and get back to work or else the Ohio Department of job and Family Services website now has a form that allows employers to confidentially report employees who quit or used to work due to cope in 1000 this internal play would prevent workers from being eligible for Unemployment Benefits kevin beary president of united fruit and commercial workers local 75 said its unfortunate that people are being forced to make a decision between losing their jobs and exposing themselves to the virus adding that the local union has been able to create an established policies and procedures to protect 30000 members. The stickler though also lies in the wording of the states notice to employers saying individuals can not receive Unemployment Benefits if they can work but refuse or quit without good cause but what constitutes good cause if you think all of this sounds harsh it is right here watchers we recently reported on covert sweeping through ohios prisons with more than 37000 inmates testing positive and a senior scholar from the Johns Hopkins center for Health Security found that not a single u. S. State has met the key criteria to open safely what you do if youre tasked with either going to work and putting your health at risk or advocating for yourself and losing your livelihood that is the most important question of the day is we have in the may june when everyone talking about lifting all the stay at home orders and Everybody Needs to go back to work and to me with this sounds like its basically you better go back to work or you know work put the gun to your head you have to go back to work and thats essentially what it they might as well it said it because these people have families they have other folks that theyre taking care of they many of them dont have Health Insurance a lot of these are low income workers already so if they do get sick. Lord help them in terms of being able to find proper care and the other part is and i think that we talked about this a little bit earlier is that ohio is probably not the only state with this type of interesting. The laws right now are forcing people to go back to work theyre trying to get their economies opened back up theyre not really taking into consideration all of the Health Precautions that are necessary before you can open up safely and that puts people at risk but they dont want to pay them Unemployment Benefits thats what really gets me with this its like you could you cant have it both ways you cant put the gun to the American Workers had or any work around the world forced to go back to work under these kind of conditions and say you need to work we need to get our economy you need to put your life on the line for me but then say at the same time oh but were not going to take care of you at all if indeed you do get sick from going back to work or if you choose to stay home and keep yourself and your family safe potentially because thats what you believe in thats what medical science is telling you but were still not going to help you and thats the wrong choice and how dare you say no it absolutely was ridiculous so unemployment claims are typically subject to review you already know this. But there were a view does it typically state the types of things were seeing here and the problem with that is that the employer gets to decide whether or not what what your unemployment claim not only is legitimate but also using coronavirus as a mechanism to determine who gets unemployment funds and who does not secretly theyre doing a lot of these businesses are because if too many people claim unemployment they cannot claim the Small BusinessSmall Business funding from the federal government so they need people on the job but its so twisted because its like when you think about this that its its. Its that thing of like we just dont want to give anybody any kind of break we dont want to give anybody any kind of money and this tired old excuse that you hear over and over again from people who are against like on Employment Benefits and things like that the targets as well then theyll just stay at home and they wont want to work at all or you know theyll make more money for employment than they will of their jobs well guess what thats not the governments fault thats not siders force thats the jobs fault if the jobs cant pay their workers a livable wage. And they can get it from unemployment even if they really care but i mean it but. Thats the businesses fault at the end of the day exactly you should not be punishing the worker because you are paying them slave wages that is not the workers fault exactly. But yet we have this twisted backwards thinking that somehow no business is ever at fault for mistreating workers you know good businesses are never you know you can put a gun to their make and come to work at a time when they shouldnt and pay them garbage wages but oh god we never should help the worker we only should bail out the business of the other issues that were learning more and more about coronavirus every day about how it passes about the people that are more susceptible about now you know the latest news about Young Children and how its affecting them there are a lot of reasons why people who are set to have some very serious precautions particularly the communities that are affected the most right now were seeing that be the africanamerican and Latino Community what we know about those 2 communities is that a lot of their households are multigenerational and so the person who is going out working could bring back over 1000 even if theyre not showing any symptoms to a grandmother to an aunt to an uncle whoever else is in that household you mentioned john hopkins of you know criteria to do you know the state should look before the open business what are those criteria is do we know. Absolutely so one of the criteria is that for 2 consecutive weeks you had to have reduction in coronavirus cases and some states have that not all states the sticking points were the other 2 reasons that there had to be enough Public Health capacity to conduct Contact Tracing currently no state has that that there has to be enough diagnostic Testing Available for everyone no one has that and that the health care for capacity has to be there to be able to treat everyone safely and effectively as you know there are a lot of hospitals and clinics that have been shut down the capacity isnt there beds are going to be too specifically a rule areas. Where does the funding come from people are asking for you know so much more from the state and the federal government to be able to support corona by. This case is and yet were still reopening it. You could you could totally see by just going over what you just listed there from john hopkins that the we are in no condition actually to reopen even on any kind of infrastructural level to actually handle reopening exactly and thats what were most afraid of it is not you know 9 there radek a sion of the virus in and of itself is that we do not currently have a Health Care System that is prepared to handle you know tailless rated its current levels much less to get worse nor do we have an economy that can kick the can handle this apparently because like when i got to play a commie shuts down for 2 months we got to sit and bail out every business except for the american actual the American Worker the American People thats the saddest part about this entire problem all right everybody good report thank you her head everybody as we go to break remember that you can also start watching all of us on demand through the brand new portable t.
