But you know. Those are headlines from one of those stories you can go to our dot com right now stay with us for more. Hello and welcome to redacted tonight. Camp today i talk with one of my favorite journalists kevin dolla who writes for shadow proof dot com and some of the best coverage of the continued persecution of julian a sauna but well also be talking about a lot of other things such as the person trying to unseat Debbie Wassermann schultz and to be on a den of fide federal agents that are kidnapping people important. And or again theres a lot to get to also naomi karagandy will bring us the weekly offensive and that lima gale has a mind blowing old news about perhaps the only american to ever get paid reparations for slavery but 1st heres my interview with kevin crystal kevin thanks so much for joining me here thanks for having me so you do 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 julian assad recently they added extra indictments more indictments added on a few weeks ago i mean there were already 17 indictment 17 or 18 by the Justice Department against him what the hell are they adding on to and whats the point of that. 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 she really wasnt a military whistleblower and in effect the reason why we saw this proceeding 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 an activity that adventure led to if you exposing the strap or 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 america to be tortured 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 you have someone who can start greasing the wheels for us you can make this afternoon has been as barrettes are and so far shes had complete and total contempt for the human rights of joy innocence 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 you have complained that hes not able to follow along with the process this is a man who was charged with jumping bail because he stopped 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 his health deteriorated while he was in the Ecuador Embassy yeah he is greatly at risk of catching kovan 19 considering hes already not very healthy. And and speaking of that to me the 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 or theres terri allbery who also provided documents to the. Except about f. B. I. Profiling of informants essentially and the racist aspects of it and then theres danielle and her hair who provided it also allegedly just documents to Jeremy Scahill on drones and the way in which the Obama Administration was engaged in targeted assassinations that built this massive complex as are now you find reality when are this stuff 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 it appealed for compassionate release shes more than halfway through her sentence and now youve got nearly 2200. 00 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 and 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 winner 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 virus more going on here recently you wrote about another federal Office 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. Jim 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 the ag was. And they may even be puking right on the scene trying to digest what theyre just witnessed no i think theyre like this is a Success Story in some ways because you see in several states where the courts have shot this down and they recognize it for what these groups have advocated 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 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 except 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 the States Government mostly republicans which i think these laws come from ally which is that they were council that drafts these really extreme corporate laws that are usually rather crude by their design and theres a 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 the leaf there are 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 choose if. 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 speech errancy i saw you tweeted about these mass and identified militarized federal agents that have been kidnapping unarmed protesters in Portland Oregon now since the initial kind of uproar over that we now know that they were under the d. A. Jaspar been Homeland Security the head of d h s has 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 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 weekend through the weekend and that chicago may 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 5 theres this reality that nobody has told why theyre being picked up you sit down when youre in custody and they try to trap you into incriminating yourself they you decide that you dont want to provide any information you ask for a lawyer then they realize that they 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 a 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 there profiling people you know sure theyre like can we find somebody who we think funded by george soros and tossed anti pet into the fans and then they continue to get 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 conspiracies that they wove in these fantasies that theyve conjured in their minds about who these people are on the streets and he was engaged to whistle blowing 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 of the department of Homeland Security that should it 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 they just say National Security and you cant even ask what theyre doing its totally ridiculous well have one minute left but i wanted to get to jen perlman real quick shes running against Debbie Wassermann schultz down in florida arguably one of the most hated and entrenched democrats in the entire Democratic Party dede of us 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 perlman 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 the presses and the folks who were behind backing Sanders Bernie sanders his campaign and 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 your district and she cares about the lower class middle class working class people who are from latin america who actually mature 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.

Thankfully for some this pandemic has been an early christmas while brick and mortar businesses were shutting their doors the biggest Corporate Consulting firm when into sales mode and received millions in 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 on a virus so mckinsey are you doctors or medical researchers you know well are you c. P. R. Certified.

So what the hell does a consultant do if there arent doctors more locks or 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 confused 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 its as 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 antibias training combat fire because training whether consciously or subconsciously activates stereotypes and wait for jodi is in the end a book about 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
