Transcripts For RT In Question 20240712 : vimarsana.com

Of accounts rosen and now questions are being raised about how a german based in tech company do so many even auditors all right its time to put your news i q. An explosive report in the New York Times is receiving responses from the United States all the way to russia with many calling out the publication for quoting alleged intelligence officials but failing to provide any supporting evidence the article quotes an anonymous source is claiming russia paid bounties in afghanistan to kill americans for more on this still developing story lets go to our she is rachel blood and she is joining us live in studio now as rachel what has the official response been from all these various sides or President Trump was quick to deny this report and here of course responded on twitter where he called on the New York Times to reveal these Anonymous Sources that they used in. Report now he then went on to say quote intel just reported to me that they did not find this info credible and therefore did not report it to me or Vice President penns possibly another fabricated russia hoax now a spokesperson for russian president putin also spoke out he denied the report and he called the credibility of the New York Times into question noting that they have published a number of false report specifically about russia and recent years tickle us no one else he said. These elevations that Russian Security services paid the taliban to attack the americans are alive secondly the special services in the us remain to be accountable to the president i suggest focusing on President Trump appropriate statement who has already assessed these publications. Now in the article the times actually admitted that even the taliban the group that was supposed to have been carrying out these attacks has denied the allegations altogether and called them baseless so what were these specific claims made by the New York Times well in the article of the times claimed that the United States had proof that theyve had since early as january that russia was paying taliban linked fighters to target u. S. Coalition forces and that they had killed at least one american now when we take a look at the sources that they used in this article we find that they start by claiming the report is based on conversations with anonymous american intelligence officials they say those officials made their intelligence assessment based on interrogations of captured afghan militants which means they were under duress when they were allegedly claim that the attacks were carried out by taliban linked militants now their report goes on to claim that russia was targeting u. S. Forces in 2019 during peace talks between washington and the taliban to try to stir up more chaos in the region and to keep them from achieving peace but if we look back we find that russia was also actively pushing for peace and it hosted talks with the delegates from both the taliban and the Afghan Government in ma. Galland may 29th seen now during those talks Russian Foreign minister Sergei Lavrov called for a total poll out of Foreign Forces from afghanistan and he said russia is convinced that there is no military solution and that the only way to achieve peace is by political and diplomatic means so we have yet to see any evidence here that russia was the one trying to keep the war in afghanistan going it actually looks like it was the opposite but we also have to remember that at the time when this report claims that the acts happen that was when the United States had ramped up its bombing campaigns in afghanistan to levels 6 that we hadnt seen in a decade and it was also when the u. S. Was killing more civilians in afghanistan than the taliban and now rachel with all of these moving parts whats next in this war even though we have an article that has been widely criticized from all sides it seems like here that hasnt stopped minority leader and democratic senator Chuck Schumer from calling out and saying that he wants the United States to have Even Stronger sanctions against russia as a result of this and that also hasnt stopped republicans from the House Foreign Affairs committee from saying that they think President Trump should try to ramp up against russia because of what they call his shadow war so even though were seeing a widely discredited report it doesnt look like those claims are going to be going anywhere anytime soon all right rachel levin thank you for that update thank you. Now earlier i was joined by former u. K. M. P. George galloway and former wall street journal correspondent now editor at Consortium News joe lauria to talk about this New York Times story i started out by asking them whats at stake here considering that the trumpet ministration is trying to negotiate a peace deal with the taliban heres what they had to say. Is once again on the talk for. Us wars are all the big good new ones. In his recent joe. The. Are on the side of the security in trying to keep these wars going this is another hole its a russia gate hopes mark 2 is as absurd as the previous one and im going to tell you ive got to admit im sure. I can remember when a big power our roads giving bondys to the taliban or at least their fathers their older brothers but that was not russia but the United States throughout the 19 eighties and the victims of the taliban or their fathers and brothers time well russians so this is not just on drew it is the very reverse of true its what psychologists call projection projecting onto someone else what you yourself have done joe your thoughts on this. But theres a lot at stake here from the point of view of journalism of sources what you can call it this is one more example of u. S. Intelligence laundering this information to a supposedly credible sources like the New York Times and other big media they no journalists live for scoops they can easily play one off against the other and corporate puerto seem to have the belief still and respect for intelligence triggers despite all the. Bad roads theyve been led down for example the invasion of iraq being the big push russia gave you know in russia get miller said there was no collusion and sean and i read that a crowd strike said there was no hack and the Internet Research agency case was dropped is nothing left of the russia gate story which is why maybe were seeing this being brought now to the fore because what does this do this human eyes is russia part of the game all along and it hurts trump in the Long Election Campaign and im not a defender of trump show but this is intelligence agencies again meddling in domestic politics and this is much more dangerous. And even a short term or even a charm donald trump because as georges point out as you reported there is no proof of this whatsoever but that did not stop reporters along to get themselves in front of everyone is having some but weve seen a played out so many times before and ill add this if this was so urgent that i wanted a National Security council u. S. Enlarged why didnt you know hospital her deputy demanded all the Office Meeting with donald trump attribute got to do something about this right because rebel got you used to give the briefing to bush and reagan bush h. W. Bush and reagan said that this told us would never would have made it is briefs to bush or 8 or reagan absolutely a lot of good points there joe now george why would the Intelligence Services and congressional leaders i mean i think i have an idea about why but why would they want to continue this a long long war that has cost the american taxpayer 975000000000. 00 plus dollars it has led to the deaths of over 31000. 00 civilians on the ground over 2300 American Service members have been killed and some 20000 others have been wounded i mean how does this threaten the work ive been teligent agency is you know this sort of reporting. Well a lot of people have made a lot of money out of the trillion dollars manila the budget the levels in the Security Services in the military are dependent upon the breeding never ending wars its Good Business unless you are one of the poor bloody infantry a front line usually the people that get killed or maimed or psychologically damaged in these wars so its partly that its partly the new york on mug of encouraging us governments to be involved in military actions of dr bridge and all over the world however badly they do arm out yeah and as. John was just pointing out that you would think a lesson had been learned from the the 20 year war in afghanistan is scheduled to end with not a single achievement to its credit just a lot of ways to live the lives as did the iraq invasion and occupation which happened on the same time weve now been at war for almost 20 years and to a trumps credit is the only thing i can say to his credit he said that he wanted to get out of these wars and the other side and their friends in the media have tried to keep these wars going but what russia. Keep putting up enemies but the United States and want to compare what about that stand with that they may when we were just shy of a trillion dollars wasted in afghanistan what is the American Media specifically in this case the New York Times what is their role in these ongoing wars. That because it came directly from the cia people might not believe it but 60 long detour the New York Times in the New York Times Mainstream Media as an establishment media that is to take and defending and extending the interest on the little shrimp particularly their foreign agenda state reporting on international stares from the point of view of a neutral observer and showing a complex or because of the conflict in the drama and america just being another player there pushing an agenda and part of that by the way as george was saying years it adds trump lots of pull troops. Out of germany. The start or to go or not be on a use of all these things real power in the United States the one wishing operating under cover of the New York Times does not want to see the imperial interests and gender of the u. S. Should be meddled with by anyone including someone in the white house this is what their problem has been with this guy should. Not that hes a racist or that hes hes arbel chima grants or hes mishandled this pandemic but that hes meddling with their Imperial International project and the guy data trying to cure was elected after its elected and now hes about to go up for reelection. In was planted in my view absolutely hurting him because the real import of the story was he knew about a march and he hasnt done anything thats what this war is all about and gentlemen in a related matter u. S. Envoy ryan hookey is calling for irans 1 arms embargo renewal and then a couple hours later iran issued an arrest warrant for President Trump along with 30 others for the killing of their top general counsel in money you know in that drone strike in january 3rd so real quickly george how damaging is this embargo tehrans economy and do you think its feasible this arrest warrant. Well nobody would whos giving arms to iran will stop doing so because of this move and in any case it seems that iran has a perfectly Capable Military Industrial Complex of its own so it will make any impact on the us through the interpol water although donald trump is exempt as the head of state and probably wont travel much once he leaves office doesnt seem to go anywhere except the golf course in florida other people on the list may 1 day be vulnerable to an interpol arrest because this was a very considerable crime that was committed against general sort of money and there are many jurisdictions in the world who feel about weight and so it could be significant some years down the line all right joe ill give you the last word on all this. Well just on that interpol of the gusher a headline that theyve already rejected that i mean the International Criminal court Interpol International Law Enforcement agencies or judicial bodies. To carve out a place surely americans and other westerners in other words they wont stand before them there are so many people in the us particularly bush and the nation of iraq for example this was the crime of aggression the worst crime there and work said they had them show up in the i. C. C. And i dont suggest that iran is going to work even though they should try because there was a crime committed once the money was killed all right well leave it right there George Galloway joe lauria thank you both for your time today. And it is being called the enron of germany a company which manages online credit and debit card purchases raises millions of accounts and loses 2000000000. 00 were going to discuss that next with our friend rick sanchez and remember to keep up with the latest news and anything you might have missed make sure you download our brand new free app portable t.

Camp the corporate parasites in power today might think theyre just troll will continue forever whether theyre right or wrong we have to keep fighting question. I. Mean infamous picture taken almost a month ago President Trump and some of his members of cabinet standing in front of St Johns Church across the street from the white house less than a week after the death of george floyd but it was the moment before the photo op that has been called into question reports of pepper balls and rubber bullets fired on Peaceful Protesters are to project is joining us now with more on the witnesses of that june 1st clash there testifying before congress there and whats going on in. The middle of so the big question today at this hearing wasnt whether or not that the government had the right to clear the area in front of St Johns Church because that is Government Property rather the big question was was it lawful for the government to do that and that question is actually still up for debate now this happened about 3 weeks ago in my photographer and i were there moments before those canisters and rubber bullets were fired after the hearing to the air excuse me at the hearing 2 witnesses accuse John Mcdonald one of the Peaceful Protesters and a 1000000 brace a u. S. Correspondent for 7 News Australia well they gave their testimony to the committee in particular brace detailing when she and her tiger her were attacked during those initial moments when police started charging at protesters to push them back well heres her testimony of what the u. S. Park police did that day. As i began reporting live the line of police suddenly and without warning began charging forward at a sprinting pace knocking protest is to the ground a pot Police Officer who was passing us sculpt turned towards team and ram team in the chest and stomach with the edge of his right shield causing team to keel over and drop down the officer then took a step back a whole bunch shes hand directly into the front of teams camera grabbing the lens as these half inch team and i would urge repeatedly show. Asking the wood media a 2nd officer to into the giving us the opportunity to move as i was running away a 3rd officer pushed through the group going out of his way to strike me with a truncheon. A lot of times moment that day manila but you also had George Washington University Law professor Jonathan Turley he testified again whether what the u. S. Park police did was lawful now in order for the park police to advance among those on those protesters they actually had to by law they have to give 3 warnings now Jonathan Turley called through this investigation and heres what he had to say about it. It does appear that 3 warnings were given but that is based on the governments account and once again it is an issue for you to look at it also does appear that protesters could remove themselves because they were
