My special comment.
I am aware that the quality of the videos on my channel are somewhat poor. I wish I could provide better quality videos, but I want everyone to know that I live in Japan and this is the best that I can get; Current tv is unavailable here and I am lucky to be able to get any REAL news here. I will not talk to my source concerning video quality. I am grateful that he takes the time out of his/her day to make sure that I (and the rest of the world) can see this very important show. I do not intend this as a rant, but I will not bite the hand provides me a copy as pertaining the quality of the video. I consider complaining about a favor given is somewhat rude.
My comment is not intended to call out anyone that has sent me private comments about the quality of these video. I hope that my comment isn't taken out of context, but if it is I will in advance express my apologies.
Now with that being addressed, last nights guests were:
:
o Nia-Malika Henderson: national political reporter for The Washington Post
o Markos Moulitsas: founder and publisher of Daily Kos
o Joe Romm: Editor of ClimateProgress.org
o Daniel Ellsberg

'What are human rights and where do they come from?', asks Professor Conor Gearty in the latest Burning Issue lecture from the London School of Economics and Political Science.
Gearty, a professor of human rights law and a practising barrister, looks at the history of human rights and ideas that have informed their development such as democracy and dignity. He challenges the notion that human rights are a western idea, a mere 'cultural accessory', or that they can be used to justify 'necessary evil' -- as an excuse to go to war or to torture as part of interrogation for example.
The lecture explores the reality of what it is like to be deprived of one's human rights through interviews with a victim of torture and a psychologist.
Professor Gearty argues: "We risk our culture if we collude in the idea that our way of life is so valuable that we can afford to depart from it in order to secure it."
The lecture is the third and final of LSE's 'Burning Issues' lectures -- a short series of interactive talks, designed to showcase the social sciences to a non-academic audience.
In the first lecture, 'Parasites -- enemy of the poor', Professor Tim Allen questions the effectiveness of our fight against one of humankind's most endemic invisible enemies. In the second lecture, the 'Right to Die', Professor Emily Jackson tackles the provocative issue of assisted dying.
The Burning Issue Lectures are supported by the LSE Annual Fund and Cato Stonex (BSc International Relations 1986).

Speaker(s): Paul Mason
Chair: Dr Nigel Dodd
Recorded on 30 January 2012 in Sheikh Zayed Theatre, New Academic Building.
Our world is changing dramatically. Social upheaval has followed worldwide economic crisis and the gulf between the haves and the have-nots is widening. In 2011, this profound disconnect found expression in events that we were told had been consigned to history: revolt and revolution.
In his new book Why It's Kicking Off Everywhere which he will discuss in this lecture Paul Mason sets out to explore the causes and consequences of this current wave of struggle, illuminating the links between the economic and social crisis. He explores and analyses what lies behind the new revolutions -- a volatile combination of the near collapse of free-market capitalism, new technologies and changes in popular culture, and a profound shift in our understanding of what freedom means. Looking at how new social media have impacted on how we behave and organize, Mason interviews activists on the ground and the people behind these new forms of collective action, providing an insight into the agile networks of Twitter- and Facebook-savvy young protesters supporting the viral spread ofinternational activism.
The economics editor of the BBC's flagship program Newsnight, Paul Mason is also one of the most influential journalists on twitter. He first reported live for the BBC on 9/11, and covered the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008 from outside its New York HQ. His television and online reports have tracked the social and economic impact of the global meltdown from the mean streets of Gary, Indiana to the elite salons of Davos.
