 We should be going live soon Hi, everyone, this is Chicho. Welcome to my channel and welcome to another live stream Today is December 21st first day of winter and We're doing a live stream on Julie Nassange and WikiLeaks and this is the 7th live stream that we're doing On WikiLeaks right now and we've done some in-between stuff as well with its couple of readings We're gonna do more readings of WikiLeaks releases, but here's our playlist If you're interested in what we've done so far, okay, there's a WikiLeaks and Julie Nassange playlist and We've done Basically five. Well, we've got 13 videos out here. We did a whisper reading of Vault 7 From WikiLeaks, I believe in 2000 within a few months of them releasing Vault 7, which is extremely important The and this playlist is reverse order So the newest is on the top and we did a couple of live streams back-to-back when Julie Nassange was Pulled out of the Ecuadorian embassy by the UK police and once his Extradition hearing kicked into gear the court hearing and stuff. We've been doing regular live streams Regarding Julie Nassange and we did a soft spoken reading of the Guantanamo Bay files, which are extremely extremely important and Then we did some short segments I cut up some short segments from the live streams and posted in the playlist, okay? And right now on the playlist if you're watching this on December 21st It's up to part five of the live streams we did we did a part six, but I haven't uploaded that yet because I want to do the reading for the OPCW Doma documents before I do the live stream for that because we're going to be referencing that and During the part six, which is when we did the Doma readings discussion What they meant regarding the Importance of wiki leaks and the war in Syria propaganda and truth tellers or whatnot wiki leaks has released the third part of the OPCW Doma report leaks and We didn't get a chance to do the reading of part 3 when we're doing a live stream previously So we will be doing a reading of part 3 in this live stream and I have a whole bunch of other Content that we're going to take a look at the first one. We're going to start off with is This one which is basically sort of a short six minute seven minute little update that Dan Cohen released regarding the OPCW, which will give you a pretty Good recap of what we've covered so far and where we're heading with this information Aside from that, we're going to wait until people roll in those sort of a long Intro on my part because we've done a fair bit so far. Hello, Starsky. How are you doing? Why so many Assange streams because Starsky What's going on with Assange is extremely important. It's probably In the top five of the most important things that are going on in the world right now And that's without exaggeration Some some people would consider being a top two some people would consider it being the most important for me right now Three of the top five things that are taking actually there's top 10 really because we do fall a lot of information But two of the main ones right if I had to pick narrowed down to two Things that are taking place that are extremely important globally. Hello, Lonely Piggy. How are you doing? Good afternoon to you and chat. Hope all as well as always as always Lonely Piggy Dante, how are you doing? So the two most important things as far as I'm concerned that have taken place in the world right now one of them is what's taking place with Julian Assange, okay, and wiki leaks and in that same breath If we want to understand how important what's going on with wiki leaks and Julian Assange's is the OPCW Doma doc releases that would be one of the top two in my book as far as I'm concerned Regarding how important things are the other one would be the Washington Post of all places Afghanistan papers which reveal that the US government for the last three administrations basically from Bush Bush George jr. Obama and Trump have been lying to the American people and The whole administration is not just the presidents, but all of them Hundreds if not thousands of people have been lying To the American people and the world saying that the Afghanistan war is going to come to an end They know what they're doing. They're winning and stuff like this, right? Those are the two most important things in my book right now And of course we have Bolivia Iran Middle East and all that jazz going on I don't know much about Assange. Could you give me an insight Starsky? We will this video We're gonna start off the stream with listening to this seven-minute video, okay by Dan Cohen, so let me link this in the chat For people because this will get everybody caught up with what's taking place right now specifically regarding the OPCW Doma Documents the leaks and we talked about this how important these leaks are Which is basically anyone that was following what was going on in Syria and definitely knew that Syria would have not used chemical weapons During that time it gets us all citizens, right? But there was no proof we argued out of reason out of History that there's no way they would have used it, right? There was some Secondhand news reports that were coming up because the area was occupied by ISIS, right? So no Western journalists really had any access to it. No independent Western journalists anyway The ones that had access to it were basically paid shills from the Western propaganda machines and allowed to go in there through ISIS so they they they were connected up with them, right? But basically the news that we were getting out out at the time If you looked into it just one level deeper than the corporate propaganda You knew that it was a lie that Syria wouldn't use chemical weapons. That was a false flag these OPC documents reveal that and When that stuff was happening when Syria supposedly chemical attack happened in Doma It was the only time where the United States was united It wasn't bipartisan where the Democrats the corporate propagandists the Republic some of the Republicans some of them not but the full Democratic machine and the Western mainstream media was in support of Trump bombing Syria, which he did right now it's come out that that was a false flag UK Britain and The United States bombed the country Because of a false flag operation and the OPCW is an organization for the provincial chemical weapons in the world and all that jazz It's come out that they lied Right, they falsified documents and omitted information and 20 20 or more of their inspectors have now come out saying that this organization lied and That lie was huge because not only did France UK and the United States bombed Syria right for no reason right We almost started a war with Russia Okay, and you have to remember the China also backs area so a Global war a world war almost began on a false flag Hugh Mungus this should be on the front pages of every News Organization that you are reading if it's not then you are reading propaganda you are being programmed and There's an article here that I would like to Read as well in this live stream, which is the art of doublespeak Bellingcat Bellingcat and mind control and we'll talk about what what this article is about who Bellingcat is and stuff like this and this is written by Edward Curtin and is a fantastic article fantastic article, right? It's the first time this article is the first time I've ever read anything from Edward Curtin, okay Good evening from where I am Rendle good evening from where you are or a good evening from where I am and good evening to you Where are you are right? okay now I Just went to a lot of intro That I was planning on doing about well, we're 10 minutes in so Should we start doing a little bit of Recap from what we've covered so far, okay? Okay, I gotta make this smaller so we can see the whole thing Okay, cool. Hopefully that's coming out. Okay. I Just got to check it. Yeah, that looks okay. So let me close this again Bring up the chat and what we're gonna do is I'm gonna put on my headphones and we're gonna take a look at the seven-minute recap of What the OPCW the Doma report meant has meant and this was a really good recap Okay, good evening. Good evening Scarlett Phoenix. How were you doing? And while I You know, we're gonna wait a couple of more minutes. I just want to make sure that everyone Or a majority of people that wanted to be here will be here to Cache the recap from the beginning And while we're waiting, let me show you those Here's Here's my trusted tea, right? My snacks and stuff that I have here. This is Chocolate tea that we made last night. So sometimes we make tea and keep it for The next day to drink. We put this sometimes in the fridge and have it cold. I have Blackberry liquor, okay This is the first time I'm first or second time. I'm tasting the blackberry liquor that we made during one of the live streams And it is fantastic. Oh very good. Very good And I hope you guys have snacks and today I brought out some pumpkin seeds Okay The blackberry liquor is strong enough to give me enough energy to be able to read and Go through what we're about to go through Okay Let's do a little recap gang Let's listen to what Dan Cohen has to say and let me grab the link again and post it in the chat Last April the United States bombed Syria Let me by the way, let me know if the sound quality is if the sound is too high or too low Last April the United States bombed Syria after accusing its president of a deadly chemical weapons attack against his own people Now the UN body that investigated the incident is accused by one of its own Altering a report after being pressured by the US WikiLeaks published a leaked email written by an unnamed Investigator from the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons or OPCW its author accuses the organization of Misrepresenting the facts its field team found in the Syrian town of Douma at the behest of its general director The email blasts the interim report that the OPC released to the public is Dissingenuous and calls it a major deviation from the original report there are a lot of details to follow here But this story has huge implications for international law So here's a quick recap of the background to this leaked email on April 7th 2018 the United States accused Syria of using chlorine and sarin chemical weapons in Douma Suburb of Damascus that had been occupied by the Saudi-backed jihadist group J. Shall Islam unverifiable videos surfaced claiming to show the immediate aftermath which more than 40 people were killed These videos were shown non-stop in Western media Before any investigation could take place the American British and French military launched about a hundred airstrikes Jim Mattis then Secretary of Defense Admitted that the US had no proof that the chemical attack even happened or who might have been behind it I cannot tell you that we had evidence even though we certainly had a lot of media and social media Indicators that either chlorine or sarin were used the fact that the US Illegally bombed another country should have been an outrage in itself that it attacked without having any evidence to back up its Accusations should have been seen as a monumental scandal But as we saw in 2017 when the US attacked Syria under similarly murky circumstances But it comes to bombing supposedly anti-trump media establishment Suspends all skepticism and goes full maga. I think Donald Trump became president of the United States I think this was actually a big moment I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons besides what higher authority gave the US the right to attack Syria in the first place Well, the US has never cared much for international law and prefers to make up its own rules When John Bolton was the Bush administration's ambassador to the United Nations back in 2002 He bullied the OPCW head Jose Bustani out of office because Bustani wanted his experts to inspect Iraq for the weapons of mass Destruction US said existed of course. That was a huge lie WMD's didn't exist very same John Bolton was Trump's national security advisor when the 2018 chemical attack supposedly happened, too The latest leaked email comes months after two other whistleblowers cast major doubts on the OPCW's findings in May One leaked an engineering assessment saying that the gas cylinders supposedly used in the Duma attack were manually placed This meant the Syrian government wasn't behind the attack and indicates they were placed to falsely incriminate Assad Aka a false flag and in October a second whistleblower accused the OPCW of unacceptable practices Saying that key information and witness testimonies were suppressed in order to favor a pre-ordained conclusion In other words that whistleblower said the OPCW cooked up the results of its investigation 10 days after the supposed Duma chemical attack an OPCW fact-finding mission entered the area with the Russian military Providing security in early July the OPCW published its highly anticipated interim report among its findings No evidence of sarin that refuted one of the central claims the US government and Anonymous intelligence officials promoted with the help of corporate media stenographers and experts. In fact Siri had used chlorine and sarin gas against its own innocent people Those are hallmark symptoms of sarin gas poisoning interim report also said various chlorinated organic chemicals were found But made no mention of levels That's the crucial factor in determining if chlorine could have been used as a weapon or if it was an amount found in mundane everyday uses like drinking water or a swimming pool or common household products like bleach that omission Fueled skepticism among close observers turns out they were right to have doubts The recently leaked email says the chlorinated organic derivatives detected were as low as one to two parts per billion Which is essentially trace quantities the email also says purposely singling out chlorine gas as one of the possibilities is Dissingenuous and that the term used in the report reactive chlorine containing chemical is Inaccurate the email says the interim report used insufficient evidence to make claims about how the attack was supposedly carried out omitted a section on inconsistencies and the victim's symptoms and Concludes that the interim version no longer reflects the work of the team That pretty much puts to bed the theory of a chlorine attack and lends credence to the second whistleblowers claim that the OPCW Tried to twist the evidence to fit a pre-established narrative It gets even more suspicious the newly leaked email was sent to the OPCW's then cabinet chief Bob Fairweather About two weeks before the report was released meaning the OPCW knew about the complaints before it published Just two days before the release Fairweather reportedly invited several members of the team that wrote the report inside his office There they met three u.s. government officials who did not clearly identify themselves But insisted that the Syrian government had carried out a gas attack Sounds like another John Bolton style intimidation tactic designed to bolster the u.s. Government's justification for its attacks all together the claims from the three whistleblowers point towards something much more Insidious than the u.s. Just bombing a country because it wants to Evidence points towards a false flag a massive deception carried out by a fanatical jihadist group the u.s. Government and a Western media Disinformation apparatus from WMD's in Iraq the Gulf of Tonkin in Vietnam or the USS Maine in Cuba United States has a long history of false flags and war propaganda Maybe we'll never see hard evidence That's what happened in Duma with the OPCW has lost credibility And the u.s. Is once again lying to its own people to wage war on a country whose crime is determining its own path here's a tweet again that We just watched for anyone that's rolling in You're wondering what's going on. Okay. That is basically a recap of What had taken place up to November 17th. That's when the tweet occurred, right? And that includes Basically what we covered the information where we read the sort of the this and this page that I'm gonna give you with the wiki leaks OPC Doma page is just the intro that we've been reading right and in part Like it's this is part seven of the live stream that we're doing regarding Julian's launch We read this guy and this guy these two this one and This one in the last string. We are going to read this new release part three in A few minutes, okay And this video that we just watched does not include this information that was released in part three in the video It mentions that there was basically by that time two people from the OPC w inspectors that had come out and said OPC w is lying. They omitted our information part three reveals that over 20 of the chief inspectors of the OPC w that conducted the investigation their information main information that pointed towards they're only being chase amounts of chlorine and that the so-called supposed bombs that Were dropped they were placed and it was all a lie and it was a false flag, right? So in this latest OPC w release part three from wiki leaks There's 20 plus inspectors coming out and saying yep OPC w dot lied and almost started a world war Okay on behest of the United States the UK and France in Syria, babe, that's basically the gist of it so far Okay, now what I want to do is read this latest release the OPC w DOMA docs that were released on December 14 okay, and what we're going to do is from here This by the way, let me give you this link as well. This link is Caitlyn Johnson that on December 14, so on December 14th Part three of the OPC w DOMA reports were released on December 15 Caitlyn Johnson must have been working over time, right? she went through those leaks and wrote a very in-depth article on what the implications are of this part three of the OPC document releases, which is the Luge of the title of the article is the luge of new leaks further sheds the establishments Syria narrative And it's a fairly long piece Okay, very long piece that goes into detail and Caitlyn Johnson is phenomenal. She goes into detail provides the links backs her story up, right? Die by the alien so wait I'm not too brushed up on my foreign relations. What reason did the OPC w have to lie about this? Just curious not trying to disprove or discredit what reason, you know what? Did they get paid off? Why did they lie? Here's here's the question, right? Some people say that some of the top OPC w inspectors were threatened like John Bolton has threatened inspectors the United Nations officials by Mentioning that they know where they live Just imagine John Bolton coming to you coming to your office and saying hey do what we're Wanting you to do, right? Remember we know where you live. We know where your children are, right? Some people say it was because of that. That's the reason they lied. Some people say they took kickbacks some people say the There's ideology behind that that certain people have been put in place to make sure that they control the narrative, right? Just like why does CNN lie? Why does ABC lie? Why? Why? Why does BBC lie? Why do these? Institutions lie, right? I wouldn't be surprised if the OPC people were threatened I wouldn't be either because we know it has occurred in the past, right? We know it has occurred in the past and it's this is like I Can't even emphasize how large this thing is, right? Let me give let's go through the tabs before we read this OPC W doc, okay? Just to show you what I've got laid out for you because there's no way we're gonna get through it all, right? So this is the OPC w thing release WikiLeaks release. This is the Article that Caitlyn Johnson has written regarding this very informative You want to you want to read it? Okay? We're gonna watch this interview. This is a news week reporter quits after editor blocks coverage of OPC W Syria scandal I'm gonna start providing these links in the chat and if you're watching this video after the live stream if you're watching it on BitShoot or YouTube and any other platform I'll provide the links in the description of the video Okay, so we're gonna watch this full video. So you don't have to look at her now Watch the video now the odds are this is the article that we're gonna read. Okay by Edward Curtin Here's Edward Curtin This is a phenomenal article, I really like this one doesn't specifically go into the OPC W leak But we're gonna read the introduction here, right? So I'm okay with moving away a little bit from the nitty gritty details of it Which Caitlyn Johnson outlines here to read a general overview because it's a very important for us to get it Why lens perspective on what's taking place in the world right now? Okay, and I've There's two articles I've read from Edward Curtin. He hasn't put out very many articles as of yet I plan on from what I could find anyway Plan on reading everything that he's put out. Okay, and this article is called the art of double-speak Bellingcat and mind control. Okay, and This is a long article We're gonna read it. Okay, I really want to read this to you guys because it outlines a lot of things we've been talking about and Billing cat this organization here. I had to look into a little bit more because I heard their Name being thrown around through Caitlyn Johnson's article and previously as well And it's come up in this interview that we're gonna watch But once you dig into billing cat and I have You know you want to read the prop again that you can read the prop again that you go to billing cat Here's a wiki page for billing cat again. Take Wikipedia with a gigantic grain of salt You have to find maybe one or two words in a whole article to really understand Where the political Leaning of Wikipedia so you most people you would use this as a first source Okay with a first glance to see what's going on, but you got to dig deep, right? So billing billing cat it says is an investigative journalist Journalism website that specializes in fact checking open source intelligence, right blah blah blah Now you dig down and you find out that the person that started this was Elliot Higgins, right? You go to Elliot Higgins and you find out all this guy was a blogger and does this and he's focusing on Russia for some reason and serious of war Talking about Ukraine. So there's a sort of agenda here and what you can do is go down here and click it Go to the Atlantic Council and the guy is hooked up with the Atlantic Council So right away. It's a neo-conservatives think tank that basically is a propaganda arm of the US military industrial complex so keep that in mind propaganda arm of the US military industrial complex the person working for that is Running billing cat and the Atlantic Council is a new concern think tank. That's a war-waging machine, right? And then there's a Another article by Caitlyn Johnson again on consortium news saying the narrative managers face plant on OPCW scandal Spin job right and this was released on November 27. So before pre the 2000 the December 14th release, okay We're not gonna read this. I just had highlighted this. I'm gonna skim through this after the stream to save the links Okay. Yeah, American propaganda Here's an article by Nils Nils-Melsner that is entitled pay the price for speaking out rather than the price for keeping silent this one Nils-Mils-Nelsner is the person that Has basically come out and said that the UN special repertoire and tortures has come out and says Has stated that the UK is torturing Julian Assange, which they are, right? huge Nils-Melsner speaking out is gigantic. Okay and then here's an open letter by a Whole bunch of doctors and lawyers and all these people saying that Julian Assange needs to be released or is going to die Okay, is there a similar page to Wikipedia for historic and political matters? Scarlet Phoenix, I would not trust Wikipedia for historic or political matters The only reason the only reason I looked into Wikipedia and I look use Wikipedia for certain Institutions and stuff like this because if you click click click click click click click You just basically find out who's running it. That's the reason I came here to see Bellingcat I wasn't really concerned about what Bellingcat is releasing. It's like looking at scientific funding, right? You can read all the reports that you want Doctors in scientific journals and all this stuff coming out Praising something or dismissing something or whatnot the articles before you read anything from any scientific study What you need to do is dig down and find out who's funding that study so before you spend a lot of time reading anything from any reports coming out on on this kind of a level news Science medicine and all this jazz and agriculture, right? Because we know Monsanto stuff funds a lot of agricultural studies that they promote, right? Look into who's running things, right? And for Bilderberg I just clicked on Elliott Higgins to see who's running it and you go to Elliott Higgins You find that he's connected with the Atlantic Council Atlantic Council is a New Yorkers sort of think tank that is basically one of the propaganda arms of the US military industrial complex when it comes to intervention Okay This is the open letter and then there's more more significant and then we get into the Afghanistan papers Which is huge. We could we should be actually doing a full livestream on the Afghanistan papers Okay, and if you want to get an idea of what the Afghanistan papers are Here is This guy here There's similar page to Wikipedia for historical and political matters, which is not biased Wikipedia would be biased pro and anti, right? Oh, I never use Wikipedia for politics too many opinions too many opinions You're not going to find anything that's not biased. No, I agree with Dante. You're not going to find anything That's not biased. However, outlight lying through major omission is huge, right? Freedom to people who don't have freedom So let's have a read through the opc. What's up guys? Waban. Now. Where are you doing? How's it live? Welcome. Welcome. Should we do this? Let me do a little sip Now, we're not going to read the whole thing. We're just going to read part three because we've already read the first two parts of the release We've already read the internal opc emails from november 23rd And we already read that opc. W whistleblower panel on the doma attack on april 2018 that was released in 23rd october 2019 okay, and that sounds coming in I guess it's People subbing or following and stuff and if i'm not catching it. Thank you very much for the subs. Thank you very much for the follows So let's do The opc w just this part three reading and it's not very long It's quite short. It's just up to here and then after this what we're going to do We're going to watch this video about a news reporter working for newsweek that quit his job because Well, we'll find out he wanted to report on the opc w serious scandal But the agencies from newsweek the management said no, we're not sharing that information So this is occurring in every western and every news agency around the world, right? So sometimes you have to go to outside news agencies from your country To be able to get information regarding your own country. That is why the role of wikipedia A wiki leaks. It's so so important because it provides a platform for insiders to leak information that they believe is a public interest, right such as the opc w leaks regarding doma, which almost Kicked us into world war three Holy schmoles, right? Wow. Wow. Wow unbelievable Do you think trump is right about mainstream media news? Yeah, for sure I don't think anybody disagrees that mainstream media is just propaganda. It's I wouldn't use the word fake news. It's their news. It's propaganda right 90 90 Even if They might report some truth. That's the that's the way they You know get you hooked, right? But the minor truth that they're reporting are maybe 10 20 percent depending on the news agency, right? It's the poison that kills you, right? It's the poison that pollutes your mind. It's the poison that they feed you When they're feeding you accurate information that Controls people and that is the reason why we're going to read this article right here The art of doublespeak billing can't billing cat and mind control really This is incredibly important when we say when when I say and other people say stop watching corporate mainstream news it's not that We're saying that everybody's Uninformed that they they don't know what's going on And all that jazz The reason we're saying it is because it is mind control literally by the way cling clock My tolerance on these streams regarding Oh crap, how do I get rid of this? Oh Oh, I can do timeouts time out what happened Oh, I can just kill this right here. That's the reason Uh, I'm gonna time you out brother time out I have no desire to deal with the shill activity on this stream. That is for sure Okay Uh, let's go to the opc w I wish I knew how to keep the chat okay Not very chill not very chill And not very subtle about their things, right? But I remember when one of your mods timed me out accidentally Sorry woman Hopefully my time out of uh, clink cluck is not Uh, what do you call it an accident and he's okay, but uh clink cluck You can take that to reddit if you want to talk about julie and asajj being a russian shill because A lot of the politics news stuff on there is promoting that bs opc w doma docs Top viral probably okay opc w doma docs Release part three December 14th, 2019 opc w Release doma release part three Okay Today wiki leaks releases more documents showing internal disagreement within the opc w About how facts were misrepresented in a redacted version of a report on an alleged chemical attack in doma siria in april 2018 Amongst these is a memorandum written in protest by one of the scientists Sent sent on a fact-finding mission ffm to investigate the attack It is dated 14 march 2019 and is addressed to fernando aries director general of the organization This was exactly two weeks after the organization published this final report on the doma investigation wiki leaks is also releasing the original preliminary report for the first time Along with the redacted version that was released by the opc w for comparison Additionally, we are publishing a detailed comparison of the original interim report with the redacted interim report and the final report along with relevant comments from a member of the original fact-finding mission These documents should help clarify the series of changes that the report went through Which skewed the facts and introduced bias according to statements made by the members of the ffm The afford mentioned memo states that around 20 inspectors have expressed concerns over the final ffm report Which they feel did quote did not reflect the views of the team members that deployed to doma end quote Only one member of the fact-finding team that went to doma a paramedic Is said to have contributed to the final version of the report Apart from that one person An entirely new team was gathered to assemble the final report refer to Referred to as the ffm core team This team was staffed with people who quote had only operated in country x end quote According to the memorandum It is not According to the memorandum. It is not clear what country that refers to Except that it is presumably not syria It is possible though only speculation that country x refers to turkey as opc w Has sent teams into refugee camps there to interview survivors from doma The other the author of the memorandum states that he was the only originally tasked He was the one originally tasked with With analysis and assessment of the two cylinders found on the scene of the alleged chemical attack This was a task he undertook in the understanding He was clearly the most qualified team member Having been To the location in doma and because of his expertise in metallurgy chemical engineering including pressure vessel design artillery and defense rnd He continues In subsequent weeks. I found that I was being excluded from the work for reasons not made clear The author explains that he had frequently asked to be updated on the progress of the final report and to be allowed to review the draft But was turned down on both counts. The response was utmost secrecy Once the final report was released on the first of march 2019 It became clear that the conclusion of the report had changed significantly in the hands of the new core team That assembled it into its final form At the conclusion of the in-country activities in the syrian arab republic The consensus within the ffm team was that there were indications of serious inconsistencies in findings after the exclusion of all team members other than a small cadre of members who had deployed and Deployed and deployed again in october 2018 to country x the conclusion seems to have turned completely in the opposite direction The ffm team members Find this confusing and are concerned to know how this occurred Towards the end of the memo. He writes In conclusion I must stress that I hold no opinion interest or strong view on the technical part of the matter Nor any interest in the political outcomes My interest is in sound Technical rigor the science engineering and facts will speak for themselves WikiLeaks is releasing supporting documents that back up these claims in great deep great technical detail Including the original interim report and appraisal of the changes each iteration went through This is huge This is You mainstream news sources should be spending months on what wiki leaks has released Okay, I'll state this again That is extremely Extremely significant if they are not covering this information you are being propagandized I'm just going to catch up with chat because what we're going to do now is we're going to watch this interview Okay, but uh, let me get Caught up with chat just in case there's any questions or anything, but do you actually believe he's not funded by anyone? Who's that? There was a bit of evidence that he was from a jeweler To be honest Do they even need to fund him as long as he targets usa usa's rivals have nothing to lose But he's uh, are we talking about wiki leaks and julian assange. He's also in jail. Yeah, I'm assuming we are wiki leaks has released tremendous amount of information on countless countries I'm pretty sure most centralized institutions most centralized governments Want to see julian assange's head on a platter and they would love to see wiki leaks shut down including shutting down other Platforms organizations that have popped up since wiki leaks came up to provide a platform for whistleblowers to release information Those people that say wiki leaks only releases information On the united states of the horrendous war crimes that the us has committed and stuff like this Haven't really gone through wikipedia a wiki leaks page Because wiki leaks has released a tremendous amount of information on countless other countries and organizations. Okay I mean, I just take that as an opinion speculation for sure. Hey chicho. Good day to you The way faring soul. How are you doing? And you know Cool So that's me catching up with the chat Let's uh, before we get into our next reading, let's watch this 25 minute interview.

I'm erin maté New leaks continue to expose a cover-up by the opc w the world's top chemical weapons watchdog Over a critical event in syria Documents emails and testimony from opc w officials have raised major doubts about the allegation That the syrian government committed a chemical weapons attack in the city of doma in april 2018 The leaked opc w information has been released in pieces by wiki leaks The latest documents contain a number of significant revelations Including that about 20 opc w officials Voice concerns to their superiors that their scientific findings and on the ground evidence was suppressed and excluded This is without a doubt a major global scandal the opc w under reported u.s. pressure suppressing vital evidence about allegations of chemical weapons in syria But that very fact exposes another global scandal With the exception of small outlets like the gray zone The mass media has widely ignored or whitewashed this story And this widespread censorship of the opc w scandal has just led one journalist to resign Up until recently tarak had died was a reporter at newsweek But in early december tarak announced that he had quit his position After newsweek refused to publish his story about the opc w cover-up In a lengthy piece explaining his decision tarak writes quote on one hand I could continue to be employed by the company Stay in their chic london offices and earn a steady salary Only if i adhered to what could or could not be reported and suppressed vital facts Alternatively, I could leave the company and tell the truth Well, tarak had died. He joins me now. Tarak had died. Welcome to pushback Talk to us about what prompted your decision to resign and the events that led up to it Sure, and thank you for me on um, yeah, basically Like i detail in my piece, um, you know, it wasn't kind of going into this situation with any any kind of You know intentions of you know making a big big controversy um Just doing my my job as a news reporter And the situation in syria starts to pick up again And then alleged white phosphorus use by turkey So, you know, i'm starting to look at things going on with the opc w as they're the body that is You know supposed to be investigating attacks such as those um, and so it's just kind of snowballed out of there of um, you know, I Kept finding more and more information that You know to me this was an undeniably big news story um, and you know everything in my in my gut was you know, there's something that needs to be printed about this um, I raised it with my editors and then You know got knocked back more and more. Um, and then with time it became clear that it wasn't um, because my evidence wasn't good enough um It was purely on uh, you know this this story is not something that's You know in our interests to publish to our readers So, um, that was essentially it really You write in your piece quote the u.s. Government In an ugly alliance with those who profit the most from war Has its tentacles in every part of the media imposters with ties to the u.s. State department Sit in newsrooms all over the world Editors with no apparent connections to the members club have done nothing to resist Together they filter out what can or cannot be reported Incommonious stories are completely blocked as a result journalism is quickly dying America is regressing because it lacks the truth So talk to us about that dark and how you experience that in the newsroom that dynamic in the newsroom Especially when it comes to reliance on sources with ties to war profiteers and western governments themselves Sure. Well, I guess, um, there'll be sort two different parts to that question But um, I guess so one aspect is is the the editors that have links to These organizations such as the council on foreign relations Um, and so for example in my time as working as a journalist I was never aware of any kind of connection between journalism and the council on foreign relations And so that's kind of was my first ever real experience of it And I you know say this in the piece because some people might think that I'm You know being naive and of course they have a massive influence on on journalism and it's been going for years And that might be the case, but you know, it was the first time I experienced it and It was not something that I thought was appropriate for a newsroom. You know, I've been in multiple newsrooms and you know someone who's been very big on kind of the history of journalism and the ethics of journalism and To me that just seemed like a complete flagrant violation of everything that journalism stands for to have people that you know attend You know programs funded by the state department and you know they're making these these connections with people in the state department and then You know when I was presented with kind of the evidence that I experienced um, you kind of confirm my my Um, you know my feelings about that and then so the second part would be about yeah the reliance on organizations like Bellingcat, which other journalists have taken the time to show that you know, um, they're not who they purported be And I think there's still a lot of work to be done around that because I think my understanding from the public is that um, a lot of people still still seem to trust them and just a kind of You know one sweep from them Will be enough for an average reader that's not um, you know, that's not taking the time to delve into these issues It's usually enough for them to be okay. This is it. This is an issue that I can ignore now um, so I think that's another vital aspect because it's a very new development of Of propaganda that's you know, not really been seen before um before Syria So yeah, well let's talk. Let me just explain for people who aren't familiar with Bellingcat because it's very important Bellingcat is an organization of so-called citizen journalists using open source data That has become very prominent in recent years and now they're relied on by the media in In several major stories, especially when it comes to stories that accuse Russia or Syria or Syria of nefarious acts like a chemical weapons attack and they've become to be used as a source and even though They they're their founder for example, uh, elliot higgins. I'll I'll read you a quote This is from the new york times where it you know They acknowledge that they don't even have a scientific background. I'll I'll read this to you Mr. Higgins Or journal or journal, right But I'll read you a quote from the new york times for example talking about the founder of bellingcat elliot higgins It says quote this quote Mr. Higgins attributed his skill Not to any special knowledge of international conflicts or digital data But to the hours he had spent playing video games Which he said gave him the idea that any mystery can be correct Unquote that's an actual quote from the new york times and somehow That seemed to be a a boost to them and not Shining a light on just how weak their credentials are the very fact that they're playing video games Insighting that as reason why as how they've honed their craft and what is also concealed In how the main street media cites bellingcat is that bellingcat Receives funding from the national endowment for democracy Which is a us government body and has been used to advance regime change goals Around the world elliot higgins himself is a fellow at the atlantic council Which is funded by all sorts of governments including the us britain and members of nato and the gulf states And yet they're used and cited often as experts and what's interesting about this opus uw scandal Is there has been a lot of concern that in fact the opus uw in ignoring its own scientists And sidelining them that they relied on bellingcat and because a lot of the findings that were in Some final opus uw reports have married bellingcats and there's a reference in The suppressed engineering report the one that the public was not meant to see We could talk more about that but this engineering expert at the opus uw Uh the the one where which concludes that actually he thinks that most likely the gas cylinders Found out the scene in duma were manually placed and not dropped from the air But that that expert his report refers to quote Supposed experts who the opus uw consulted and that has been their speculation that those supposed experts That this actual expert is referring to is bellingcat Right and I guess that would mirror a similar trend that we saw with mh17, which um, you know, um I can't remember the the us official that said so, but I think um, if you um look on my twitter There's an article recently from kind of describing the history of bellingcat But us officials directly kind of almost thank bellingcat for their investigative work Um in determining their results So I think it's it's um, it's part of this very kind of nefarious strategy of saying You know, it's almost, you know, you're praising bellingcat And then you'll accept that they're accepting their results unquestioningly and then people who You know differ from that narrative Um, you know get silenced and uh, that's why we have this situation that we have at the moment where You know genuine scientists with No real political interest. Um You know, I've talked I've talked to some people in this industry when I pre researching previous articles um, you know, most of them aren't really political their Their engineers or someone and they're just And they you know, they understand the gravitas of their job and they understand, you know that Their job isn't to be political It's to you know, just do the best job they can as scientists And then let the dust falls where where it does afterwards So and I think that's why it's such an important story is because it's it's so dangerous to To politicize a body either like this. Um, you know, these bodies are put in place for very very important reasons um To avoid, you know Deficitating um attacks against human beings that shouldn't be kind of going on in this in this day and age And if we start to politicize them and we undermine their authority, then Um, it's very dangerous. I think and that should go without saying And since since since you referred to it, just let me explain What mh-17 is for anybody who doesn't know that is the downing of malaysia airlines flight Uh 17 that occurred in the summer of 2014 And belling cat was among the groups that accused Or pointed the finger at russian backed separatists in ukraine As having carried out that attack, but of course that conclusion of belling cats like many others has come under question talk Tell us more about your struggles internally at newsweek and You know your efforts to try to resolve whatever objections you faced and trying to cover this story How about the lpcw scandal in syria? sure, um so Kind of it started off no different than any other news story that I would pitch We have a messaging system called slack, which I think a lot of people are familiar with but um Yeah, first I raised it with one of my editors alfred joiner And you know, he's he didn't seem to be particularly opposed to the story, but you know, he's not um He doesn't have particular expertise in foreign affairs or anything like that. So it was automatically um, I was told to write a note to him and and um Demi rider, which is our foreign affairs editor at newsweek um You know, I sent a long longish note with you know, with links various documents to support what um, what was going on um interestingly almost Kind of five minutes after I sent the note. I kind of wasn't expecting a response immediately um, and I was just walking to get a cup of coffee and immediately um You know, I could start to see attempts to kind of Not, um, you know to cast out over the story um, and but it was the kind of stuff that's It's not addressing the actual facts. It's kind of Oh, you know the the publication itself where these things come from You know, that's a little bit suspect even though it was the mail on sunday um, I understand for political reasons some people might Disapprove the politics of the mail on sunday. Um, they tend to be more right-wing um in the united kingdom, but um, you know journalists trained in the united kingdom will know that the mail on sunday still has very good journalists and You know, they exposed the um 2005 mp's expenses scandal for example Um, so it's not like they're incapable of doing real journalism And then I had people have raised doubts about peter hitchens. Who's the person that wrote the mail on sunday piece um, and because he's kind of spent the last few years as an opinion columnist um, but again, I kind of Went to great lengths to try and explain listen I understand his his recent history and why he might be controversial to some figures. Um, But he has a very very long You know reporting career. Um, it was washington bureau and a mosco bureau for about 20 years um and you know, he takes the time in his reporting to to kind of um To show how everything's been, you know done verified and There's been kind of blog posts to the side that documented how he's met With one of the opc w scientists in a safe house in europe um So it was kind of my immediate feeling is that The the facts of what I was presenting weren't being discussed. It was attacking the sources or who it's coming from And then when I kept pushing pushing pushing essentially, um, it turned into a character attack of me And that was you know, the moment I was became very kind of upset and essentially decided to resign because um, kind of without being over a kind of Overconfident in my abilities or egotistical or anything of that nature, but Throughout my um reporting career. I've never really had any issues of um editors not getting on with me or um You know saying that my sources are not very good or anything like that and that's Even though I understand the piece i've written maybe very difficult and long for people to get to get through I just really wanted to explain that you know, I have this Um journalism background. I've never had all the any issues before It was only when I was starting to raise questions about You know things that the u.s. Government essentially wouldn't want answered that I started having these character attacks um And it was all it did feel pretty much like bullying into you know, just be quiet do You know do the kind of reporting we want you to do it and don't question Don't question us if we say that you can't run the story um And this is kind of it was funny because at the time. Um, I'm not sure if you're familiar. We had the firing of a reporter, um, who kind of ran this Story that turned out to be wrong about donald trump Um a week before so she quit because she said donald trump was uh, you know What's donald trump doing on thanksgiving? He's going to be tweeting golfing and more Turns out he makes a visit to afghanistan Um, and you know at the time You know, this was actually happening more at the same time as the opus w thing At the time, you know, we're having lots of team meetings and the editors are saying, you know I understand if you guys are concerned, you know, please come and talk to us. We're always here to have questions You know, if you um, if you have questions on a story feel free to question our judgment That kind of you know, those kind of messages and at the same time I was going to the editors. I was raising some of my concerns And essentially they refused to speak to me. Um You know, I made three attempts to speak to laura davis the london editor Um, and I was getting, you know, increasingly more stressed because I really wanted I thought it was a very important story And I was getting this criticism at the time from the editors Um, and I really just wanted to talk to her in person. Um To share my concerns and you know discuss why I thought it was an important story And then the next thing I know I receive an email You know, that's fairly long just listing out criticisms. So that was when I knew it wasn't um You know, this wasn't on rational debate or something wrong with the facts or the facts not matching up You know, there was an ulterior motive here And so talk to us then about your decision to resign and did you think through What the consequences were of quitting this position and whether you how this would impact your ability to find Another position in a media industry where obviously jobs are Are already very scarce and hard to find I mean, yeah, to be honest um If I if I don't find another position in in germanism because of this I'm perfectly happy to accept that consequence. I mean, it's not desirable, but There is no way I could have continued in that job. Um I'm knowing that I'd have to You know that I couldn't report something like this. Um There's actually a very I remember Because so I was thinking about resigning for about a week in that time that I was Um collecting evidence and I was talking hoping to talk to laura Um, and they but when I received that email that kind of was essentially a character attack The decision became very easy. Um, because it kind of it clarified everything for me Um, and to be honest, I don't regret it at all. Um, I still don't know where the chips are going to fall essentially from here, but um You know so far the feedback from everyone's been fantastic. Um, the support from the internet. Um, it's been really great I'm very thankful to people that have you know said kind of things to me and thankfully, um, there's been very very little negative Um, you know, there's been a few um the kind of the usual people that you would expect the Elliott Higgins and um What's his name? David Dave Lucas. I think awesome. Um But you know That's that's nothing to me. It's um I don't really take what they say seriously. Um, and I don't think other people on the internet should anymore We kind of know who they are and I think Um people that's kind of getting to these long twisted tirades with them is it's kind of going to be a waste of your time You know what their job is to do. Um They're not going to change their minds on the internet That's that's not what they're there for. Um, they have a specific purpose. I think What to you would be the best outcome of Your ordeal here of what you went through you're Choosing to resign and you're choosing to come forward to tell your story So I think a couple of things, um One thing I tried to do is Keep in mind other journalists when I was writing this I Even though I'm not aware of any other journalists in a similar position Um, I I'm definitely sure that I can't be the only one I mean the amount of evidence that there is at the moment kind of surrounding these opc w leaks is growing by the day It's becoming harder and harder for any serious journalist to kind of look at the evidence and You know continue with the same thing Um, so I think one Ideal scenario would be that other journalists start to push the issue with their respective organizations um And you know, hopefully we We do start seeing some coverage Even though I'm very critical of newsweek in the piece that I've written Um, I think what happened to me could have happened to any publication In the west, you know, uh, except a very few. Um, so I think Yeah, that's one thing. Hopefully other journalists will start to speak up Um more long term. I I mean, I don't know if this is very naive, but I'd love to see the influence of The cfr the council on foreign relations Have a you know the journalists say no actually you have a conflict of interest You don't have a place in a newsroom You know, there is no space for you. You have a you know, this you can't do your job adequately to hold the government to account That's the journalists, you know, one of the journalist's main priorities If you have this conflict of interest, sorry, it makes you um Not not applicable to be a journalist Um, and then I guess finally just um greater public awareness about How propaganda works? Um, and it's not just bell in cap. I think um, I think there's a lot of evidence to say that white helmets as well as is propaganda. Um, And that might have been a controversial thing to say a few years ago, but I think now it's You know, the evidence is there that it's Beyond doubt that it's government propaganda Um, and I think people just slowly need to get that, you know, get more awareness about that out Well, Tar, I for one uh, I'm one of the many who really appreciates what you've done here. It takes a lot to Not just speak out about Syria, which I think is actually brave in itself given all the smear attacks that one faces but in your case you risked your Job over and you and you lost your job over and you resigned in a very principled move and so I for one, uh, hope that your integrity and your courage Will resonate and inspire other media outlets and journalists to display that same Integrity and courage that you've shown here and I I I hope that it will because this is often How whistleblowing works and how truth-telling works as it takes one brave person To set a chain in motion. I really hope that that is what happens here Yeah, me too Yeah, um, that's that's all I can hope for already. Um, you know, I had You know parents and stuff on the phone Various people that I've worked through with through the years um, some of with some of which are you know, have experience of these things and a lot of people kind of actually You know told me not to do this. Um, some people worried for my safety. Obviously my parents were a little bit concerned um, you know, given that kind of it's not out of the ordinary for for kind of nefarious things to happen in these situations um, but You know, I think it was it was the important, you know, it was the right thing to do. Um, I don't have any regrets and hopefully More and more people can start to talk about it. Um You know, I think there are a lot of good journalists out there um, the evidence is there It's you know, they and I'm sure there's definitely other people that are feeling frustrated. So Hopefully I've given them the template of how they can approach Editors and how they can raise stories and how they can push back if um, you know, if they are kind of You know, their stories decline And hopefully that's a trend I hope so too. Uh, taraka dad is a journalist up until recently a reporter at newsweek And his website is taraka dad and we'll link to his piece where he breaks down his reporting process about this syria opus w scandal And what led him to resign from newsweek taraka. Thanks very much. Thank you very much Okay, I wanted to make sure we watch that video because there are good journalists out there That are independent as well as some that are working for certain news agencies That are trying to report what's going on in the world how important this is But they're being either shut down fired And if you want an example of one person highest level person that you can think of that was prevented from reporting on What they were finding Right look at phil donahue and sleepy waves. You asked a question, which is uh chicho I'm confused on what this leakage really means Let me link it up to the iraq war that the iraq invasion won't call the war is war of aggression Right is a war crime and it was an invasion of iraq Okay, and the invasion of iraq was done under the pretense that iraq had weapons of mass destruction chemical weapons that they could use at any time and the western world was Ralled up to a fear level that you if you didn't live through that period You cannot even imagine the The The insanity that people were in right they they actually believed Corporate propaganda mainstream news that was coming out and their politicians Representing institutions in the background that wanted to wage war As to why they had to go and invade iraq and all of it has come out over the last 15 years that it was all based on lies all of it all of it all of it right and If we're living in just times All of those people that started the iraq invasion and continued the iraq invasion that has resulted in hundreds of thousands Murders right and tens of millions of refugees being created and all this jazz that had a domino effect into syria To yemen into turkey into iran into liby on all this jazz, right? They would be on trial For war crimes, right? Your question sleepy way of chicho. I'm confused on what this leakage really means Phil Donahue was the You could call him a journalist, but you you could say he was the longest running. He had the longest running Television talk show broadcast in us. It started in 1960s and in 2002 2003 He was fired because he was the only voice on western mainstream media That was opposing the iraq invasion that he was bringing on guests and sharing information that was saying hey Iraq doesn't have weapons of mass destruction This is a lie. We're going into war for a lie And I don't know which station he was in a bc nbc or whatever it was. They fired him. They took the longest running television show in the united states off air because The host of that show was Presenting information that went against what the government propagandists were sharing that Was getting people to support the war in iraq Link that up to what the opc w W opc w doma docks represent these this organization the organization for the provincial prevention and Of chemical weapons. Okay is a global watchdog supposedly manned by scientists unbiased That go into regions where there has been reported that chemical weapons have been used or they're doing weapons inspections and whatnot to figure out if chemical weapons have been used or any country or institution is Creating chemical weapons to be used somewhere, right? They're the basically the watchdog Global watchdog and it's come out that this global watchdog has been compromised And the report that they released about syria Did not contain information that their scientists had shared And they actually in this report we find out that the scientists that they sent to investigate the chemical attack in syria There was 20 of them or something They were all pulled From the case and a new group was put in to write the report to blame syria for the chemical attack So instead of using just mainstream corporate propaganda to start another invasion in the middle east They actually co-opted the war machine the opc w global watchdog To put out a fake report Okay, that went against their own inspectors findings To start another invasion to start another war in syria. That's how big this thing is It's huge and if you look at the if you go back and you read some of the leaks I believe there's three leaks from Washington Post that they put out regarding the afghanistan papers then the last since the invasion of afghanistan us officials have lied about Everything that is going on afghanistan who they are allies with Where the money is going that they're supposedly winning that they're winning the hearts and minds they're building infrastructure That all their generals and politicians and majors or whatever they all think they're doing great They just need more funding it's come out that in the last 18 years all three administrations bush junior obama and trump Have been lying to the american people And that has resulted in hundreds of thousands of people dying millions of refugees being created I believe it's over five or six trillion dollars being wasted in afghanistan right by the war machine This should be front page news because this is also connected to the doma OPCW doma report. Okay That's the general gist the quick Uh recap of what this means Okay misleading the public about Justification for war is of course a bad thing, but it is not a war crime Wars of aggressions are war crimes post apocalypse The invasion of iraq was a war of aggression and it is a war crime Okay, I think we should not conflate various negative things together because clarity In definition is important for understanding 100 percent agree post apocalypse, but the invasion of iraq As far as i've looked into it was a war of aggression and a war of aggression is a war crime Okay, I thought that the washington polls was corporate media. Why would they put this article out? Exactly. That's a that's something that a lot of people have been talking about There's a word that because washington post is owned by jeff bezos amazon where we're twitching where we're Livestreaming right now through twitch is owned by amazon, which is jeff bezos and trump has been saying that They are going to go after amazon right in the first term in his Presidency he's been putting it out there that amazon needs to be controlled broken up or whatever for tax evasion Whatever it is, right? I don't really listen to trump too much, but I know that he's been going after jeff bezos on amazon I don't think he means it But jeff bezos owns washington polls and some people are saying this this information was being leaked because it was Supposed to give a black eye to trump because he was coming out and saying we're doing great in afghanistan or whatnot, right? A war of aggression is not a war crime war crimes are things you do during war Are you are we sure about this? I'll have to look into this war of aggression war crime Uh Thanks for seconding that second in that uh, daunte. Thanks for bringing up post-apocalypse and For the second daunte. I'll have to look into this after the stream. Okay crossing fingers for no second Turn monkey farts. I think he's in Okay I think uh, there's no If I was a betting man Because if you're betting What is a war of aggression war of aggression is Uh example of war crimes a war of aggression is basically um One nation threatening another nation and threatening a nation with annihilation, which the united states has done multiple times Is I believe under the umbrella of a war crime if i'm not mistaken. Okay But basically it's another nation starting a war with another nation without cause invading them bombing them, right For whatever reason they give Examples of war crimes include intentionally killing civilians or prisoners torturing destroying civilian property taking hostages performing a uh perfidy raping and using Child soldiers pillaging declaring that no quarter will be given and seriously violating the principles of Uh distinction and uh proportionality and military necessity under numerous Nuremberg principles war of regression are considered crimes against peace. Oh, that's what it is crimes against pain which are distinct from war crimes Okay, thank you very much post apocalypse crimes against peace Okay Because the nuremberg stuff is what I've read in the past and I read those stuff a while ago Right and I get my terminology mixed up. So it's a crime against peace I've never heard the term war crimes used for Uh unjustified wars Uh, maybe it's uh, what do you call it? Crime against peace. I'll have to read that stuff again. My apologies if I'm getting my terminology mixed I'm getting riled up, but I don't pretend to be a journalist and I'm not pretending to be unbiased in this right But that's not justification for me sharing Uh misinformation Disinformation fallacies, right because I'm wrong It is common to confuse these terms Yeah, I have I have Crime against peace, okay cool So gang should we do a reading of this article Edward curtains behind the curtain, okay, and this guy is uh, let me read it. You read you as about page So, you know who this guy is Uh educated in the classics philosophy literature theology and sociology I teach sociology at massachusetts college of liberal arts my writing on Various topics has appeared widely over many years I write as a public intellectual for the general public not as a specialist for a narrow readership I believe a non-committal sociology is an impossibility And therefore see all my work as an effort to enhance human freedom through understanding. I like this guy right Nice intro. He is not pretending to be anything else other than What he says he is and this is uh, you know, you can go older posts down here, right? but I guess he's written a fair bit maybe Uh, but I checked out I've read a couple of his pieces and I like them and this is the one that really caught my attention So The u.s. Also committed war. Yeah, the u.s. Is committed war crimes tremendous number of war crimes. They can shout every time you see curtain Okay, let's read this now. This is a long piece gang. We've got about 35 minutes I'm going to try to get through this whole thing We should be able to okay And I'll leave the chat open so And I'll let me provide the link in the description In the chat as well just in case you guys want to keep track of what it is that we're reading and doing The art of doublespeak billing cat and mind control In the 1920s the influential american intellectual Walter Lippmann argued that the average person was incapable of seeing or understanding the world clearly And needed to be guided by experts behind the social curtain In a number of books he laid out the Theoretical foundations for the practical work of edward bernie's Who developed public relations a k a propaganda to carry out this task for the ruling elite Bernese had honed his skills while working as a propagandist for the united states during war war one And after the war he set himself up as a public relations counselor in new york city There is a fascinating exchange at the beginning of adam kurtis's documentary the century of the south Where bernie's then nearly 100 years old but still very sharp reveals his manipulative mindset And that of so many of those who have followed in his wake He says the reason He couldn't call his new business propaganda was because the germans had given propaganda a bad name And so he came up with the euphorism public relations He then adds that if you can see it i propaganda for war you certainly could use it for peace Of course, he never used pr for peace, but just to manipulate public opinion He helped engineer the cia coup against the democratically elected Our ben our ben's government in guatemala in 1954 with fake news broadcast He says the germans gave propaganda a bad name not Bernese and the united states with their vast campaign of lies Mainly aimed at the american people to get their support for going to war. They opposed Think weapons of mass destruction He sounds proud of his propaganda work that res resounded to his credit To his credit since it led to support for the war to end all wars and subsequently to hit a movie About war war one yankee doodle dandy made in 1942 to promote another war since the first one Somehow didn't achieve his lofty goal As bernese had said in his book propaganda The american motion picture is the greatest unconscious carrier of propaganda in the world today He was a propagandist to the end I suspect most viewers of the film are taken in by those Softly spoken words of an old man sipping a glass of wine at a dinner table with a woman who is asking him questions I have shown this film to hundreds of students and none has noticed his Liger the mean Liger the mean Is an example of the sort of hocus pocus I will be getting to shortly the sly insertion into Seemingly liberal or matter of fact commentary of statements. That's simply a different story the placement of convincing The placement of convincing or confusing disingenuous in ingredients into a true sandwich for bernese knew That the bread of truth is essential to conceal untruth In the following years bernese lippmann and their ilk were joined by social scientists psychologists and sundry Others intent on making a sham out of the idea of democracy by developing strategies and techniques for the engineering of social consensus Consonant with the wishes of the ruling classes Their techniques are their techniques of propaganda developed exponentially with the development of technology the creation of the cia its infiltration of all the major media and that agencies courting of what the cia official cord mire called in 1950s the compatible left Having already had the right right in its pocket Today most people are as is said wired and they get their information From the electronic media that is mostly controlled by giant corporations in cahoots with government propagandas Ask yourself has the power of the oligarch permanent warfare state with his propaganda and spy networks Increased or decreased over your lifetime. The answer is obvious the average person the average people That lippmann and bernese trashed are losing and the ruling elites are winning This is not just because powerful propagandists are good at controlling so-called average people's thinking But perhaps more importantly because they are also adept probably more so At confusing or directly the thinking of those who consider themselves above average Those who still might read a book or two or have the concentration to read multiple articles that offer different perspectives on topic on a topic This is what some call the professional and intellectual classes Perhaps 15 to 20 of the population most of most of whom are not the ruling elite But their employees and sometimes their mouthpieces It is this segment of the population that considers themselves informed But the information they imbibe is often sprinkled with bits of this misdirection Both in intentional and not That be clouds their understanding of important public matters But leave them with the false impression that they are in the known Recently I have noticed a group of interconnected examples of how this group of the population that exerts influence income commercial rate With their numbers has contributed to the blurring of lines between fact and fiction Within this group. There are opinion makers who are often journalist writers and cultural producers And of some sort or another and then the larger number of the intellectual or school class who follow their opinions This second group then passes on their deceived opinions to those who look up to them There is a notorious propaganda outfit called billing cat Started by an unemployed Englishman named Elliott Higgins That has been funded by the Atlantic Council a think tank with deep ties to the u.s government NATO war manufacturers and their allies and the national endowment for democracy NED another infamous u.s front organization heavily involved in so-called color revolution regime change operations all around the world that has just won the international emmy award for best documentary The film with the orwellian title Bellingcat truth is a post-truth world truth in a post-truth world Received this emmy at a recent ceremony in in new york city Bellingcat is an alleged group of amateur online researchers who have spent years shilling for the u.s in instigated war against the syrian government Plain blaming the doma chemical attack and other others on the Assad government and for the anti russian propaganda connected to among other things the uh Ripple poisoning case in england at the downing of flight mh-17 plane in ukraine It has been Loaded by the corporate mainstream media in the west its support for the equally fraudulent white helmets also funded by the u.s And uk in syria has also been praised by the western corporate media while being dissected as propaganda by many excellent independent journalists such as Eva Bartlett Vanessa billey kate black among others Is had his work skewed by the likes of seymour herge and america professor theodore postal and its u.s Government connections pointed out by many others including ben norton and max Blumenthal at the gray zone And now we have mainstream media's wall of silence and the leak from the organization for prohibition of chemical weapons opc w concerning the doma chemical attack and the Doctrine of the report that led to the illegal u.s. Bombing of syria in the spring of 2018 billing cat was At the forefront of providing justification for such bombing and now the journalist peter hitchens Tarik haraad who recently resigned from newsweek after accusing the public Publication of suppressing his revelations about the opc w scandal and others are fighting an uphill battle to get the truth out Yet billing cat truth is a post in a post truth world won the emmy fulfilling bernie's Point about films being the greatest consciousness carriers unconscious carriers of propaganda in the world today Who presents the emmy award to the filmmakers but none other than the rebel journalist chris hedges Why he did so i don't know But that he did so clearly sends a message to those who follow his work and trust him That is okay to give a major culture award to a propaganda outfit But then perhaps he doesn't consider billing cat to be that Nor one presumes does the intercept the billionaire pier They are own publication associated with glenn glenn greenwald and germy skayhel And also read by many progressive minded people The intercept that earlier this year disbanded the small team that was tasked with Reviewing and releasing more of the massive trove of documents. They received from edward snone six years ago A minute number a minute number of which have ever been a minute number of which Have ever been released or probably ever will be As whitney web pointed out last year the intercept hosted a workshop for billing cap. She wrote quote The intercept along with his parent company first look media Recently hosted the workshop for pro-war google funded organization Bellingcat in new york the workshop which cost $2,500 per person to attend and lasted five days aim aim to Instruct prince Participants into how to perform investigations using open source tools With billing cats past controversial investigations for use as a case study Thus while the intercept has long publicly promoted itself as an anti Interventionless and progressive media outlet. It has become clear clear that largely thanks to its ties to Omia the omid dr It is increasingly or an organization that has more in common with bellingcat Bellingcat a group that launches nato and us propaganda and disguises it As independent and investigative journalism end quote then we have Jefferson moorley the editor of the deep state former washington post journalist and jfk assassination researcher Who has written a praiseworthy? Review of the bellingcat film and who supports bellingcat quote in my experience bellingcat is incredible End quote he writes in an atlantic article quote bellingcat documentary has the pace and plot of a thriller end quote Moorley has also just written an article for counter punch why the domo chemical attack wasn't a manager wasn't a managed massacre In which he disputes the claim that the april 17 2018 attack in the domascus suburb was a false flag operation carried out by assas opponents Quote i do not see any evidence proving that domo was a false flag incident end quote He writes in his article in this article That it is Written in a style that leaves one guessing as to what exactly he is saying It sounds convincing unless one concentrates and then his double messages emerge Yet, it is the kind of article that certain Sophisticated left-wing readers might read and feel feel is insightful But then moorley who has written considerably about the cia edits a website that Advertises itself as the thinking person's portal to the world of secret governments and recently had a exchange with former cia director john brennan where Brennan put a friendly finger on my chest Said in february 2017 less than a month after trump was sworn in as president that quote with a docile republican majority in congress and a demoralized democratic party in opposition The leaders of the deep state are the most perhaps the only credible check in washington on what senator bob corker republican tennessee calls trump's wrecking ball presidency end quote Is it any wonder that some people might be a bit confused? I know what you're thinking about Said uh tweedle dumb, but it's it isn't so know-how Contra wise continue tweedle dumb it is It if it was so it might be and if it were so it would be But it is it isn't it ain't that's logic As a final case in point, there is a recent book by steven kinser poison poisoners-in-chief Sydney goblit and the cia search for mind control the story of the chemist known as dr Death who ran the cia's mk ultra mind control project using lsd torture electric shock therapy hypnosis The developed sadistic methods of torture still used in black sites around the world and invented various Ingenious techniques for assassination many of which were many of which were aimed at fiddle castro God lead god leap Was responsible for brutal poison and hospital experiments and untold death and suffering Inflicted on all sorts of innocent people. His work was depraved in the deepest sense He worked with nazis who experimented on jews despite being jewish himself kinser writes in depth about this man who considers himself a patriot and a spiritual person A humane torturer and killer. It is an eye-opening book for anyone who does not know about guttle Gut leap who gave the cia the essential tools they use in their organized crime activities around the world in the words of duck less valentine the author of the cia is organized crime And the the author of the cia as organized crime and the phoenix program kinser's book is good history on Guttle gut lib however He doesn't venture into the present activities of the cia and gut libs patriot patriotic followers who no doubt exist and go about their business in secret After recounting in detail the sordid history of gut looks secret Work that is nauseating to read about kinser leaves the reader with these strange words quote Gut gut leap was not a saddest, but he might well have been above all He was an instrument of history Understanding him is a deeply disturbing way of understanding ourselves end quote What possibly could this mean not a sat sat sadist an instrument of history Understanding ourselves these few sentences dropped out of nowhere Pulled the rug out from under what is generally an illuminating history and what seems like a moral indictment Indicament this language is pure mystification kinser also concludes that because gut leap said so the cia failed in their efforts to develop minds of methods of mind control and ended mk ultras experiments long ago Why would he believe the word of a man who Who personifies the agency he worked for a secret liar? He writes quote when sydney gut lib brought mk ultra to its end in the early 1960s He told his cia superiors that he had found no reliable way to wipe away memory Make people abandon their consciousness or commit crimes and then forget them As for those who might think otherwise kinser suggests that kinser suggests they have vivid imaginations and are caught up in a conspiracy conspiracy thinking quote Think convincing others that the cia had developed methods of mind control when they hadn't it Hadn't is sydney guttle bird's most unexpected legacy end quote He also he asserts He says this although richard helms the cia director Destroyed all mk ultra records. He says that alan Duelis Gut lib and helms themselves were caught up in a complete fantasy about mind control because they had seen too many movies And read too many books mind control was impossible a failure a myth he maintains It is the stuff of popular culture entertainment In an interview with chris hedges interestingly posted by jefferson moorley At his website the deep state hedges agrees with kinser Gut lib dollars et al were all deluded mind control was impossible You couldn't create a manchurian candidate by implication someone by by implication Someone like shirhan shirhan could not have been programmed to be a fake manchurian candidate and to have No memory of what he said as he claims He could not have been mind controlled by the cia to perform this His part as the seeming assassin of senator john f kennedy Senator robert kennedy While the real killer shot jfk from behind people who think this should get real furthermore as is so common in books such as kinsers he repeats the canard that jfk and rfk knew about and pressured the cia to assassinate fidel castro This is the Monsterbly false as shown by the church committee and the assassination record review board among others That kinser takes the word of notorious liars like richard helms and the top level cia operative samuel Helperne in simple Is simple Incredible something that is hard to consider a mistake Slipped into a true sandwich. It is devoured and passed on but it is false Bullshit meant to deceive But this is how These games are played if you look carefully you will see them widely Informed enlightened while throwing in double talk and untruth The small number of people who read such books and articles will come away Knowing some history that has no current relevance and being misinformed on other history that does They will they will then be in the know ready to pass their wisdom On to those who who care to listen they will not think they are average But they will be mind controlled and the killer cat will roam freely without a bell Ready to devour the unsuspecting mice And that's the end of the article and by the way this book that he's talking about revealing information of how the cia was using basically Uh, what was his name? As a final case and point there's a recent book by steven kilsner the book by steven kilsner that was referencing Guttelberg, what he his experiments with the cia that he was jewish that he Helped to torture jews and all this jazz and created all these ultra mk ultra And it's horrendous This interview we watched on contact with chris hedges, right and remember i personally love chris hedges However, i don't agree with everything he has to say and in this case We found out i didn't know about this but chris hedges i had read this article before but when i read this article I found out that chris hedges had given an award to bellin cat, right? I'm pretty sure he regrets it now and he will regret it um, so i just wanted to read this article to you guys because it Touches on many things that we have talked about in the past Okay, i'm just going to read some chat that was brought up put up here propaganda In the past was seen as a form of marketing by governments during war war two this is post apocalypse during war war two It was used by all major powers to maintain public support for the war now. It is a form of conflict uh form of conflict by competing multinational interests Interested in influence that is usually unrelated to war. I would say post apocalypse a lot of a lot of propaganda It's gone beyond the i think corporations were really the first ones that Well, i guess governments corporate governments started using though But for sure corporations are using it to sell products influence people social engineer But so are governments to promote propaganda as far as i see it China is investing heavily in hollywood films and Exerting influence to change content to align with the with an approved message for example 100% agree Where is the drifting off top? Where is this drifting off into this is the basically daunte the reason i thought this article was fantastic because it links up Uh for me my experience just talking with people Regarding what's going on in syria and the chemical attacks at the time that they were occurring and even Go back further to the first golf war and second golf war It blows my mind that people Are so in general the public gets so riled up so manipulated Into supporting war Right sending their children To go die for corporations and resources and for the military industrial complex And this article was an amazing little piece. I thought regarding how people are mind controlled really programmed propagandized into their acceptance of War This seems like a rambling document linking unrelated instances. I don't think they're unrelated post apocalypse Chris had just not looking good. I want to see uh billington Just to see if i am mind controlled. Yeah sleepywaves I might uh, I might sample it off the internet and take a look at it to see what it's about. What do you know about the sydney Gotelberg sydney gotelberg. Here's the On contact. Um, let's go on contact Chris edges Here if we go here To on contact on chris edges. This is the interview that uh That this guy Okay on contact cia research for mind control with steven kizer if you guys are interested in what was Being discussed in part of that have a look through this Oops have a look through or watch this interview is very Tremendous amount of information right historically saying what the cia was doing to people Kidnapping people off the streets and taking them to secret sites and torturing them and then killing them in the Mansions or they had mansions in europe and different parts of the world where they bring people there conduct experiments on them in their rooms Right for months if not years and then once they had totally shattered their minds They would take them out the back and shoot them and bury them in the yard Right unbelievable. Holy kamolis right but as this document as this article mentions by edward curtain In the conclusion of this it says okay mk ultra was brought to an end But it hasn't been brought to an end Torture hasn't brought been brought to an end. We know that as a fact Right, so that's the thing that is linking up. There's a lot of truth there, but the conclusions might be flawed right Yeah, but what does this have to do Uh with the mk ultra program the mk ultra program I think that's connecting up to a larger picture that through mass media through hollywood through What we consume as information we are all being mk ultra really Even me even you Because we are exposed to our society in this way. We are constantly being bombarded, right? Mind control is part of the whole social engineering of centralized institutions That is a given and we should always remember that Jacoby, hey chicho, how you been my friend my man doing well. Jacoby. Thank you very much This article just summed up all the liberals who lead read the new york times and believe they know more better than the general joe Sleepy waves agreed and I wouldn't Yeah, I thought the article said kinsor was shielding the truth truth I and by the way Do I believe that kinsor Um steven kinsor was shielding truth intentionally No, I think It's just his conclusions That he does not believe that this stuff was continuing or mk. He believes that mk ultra were brought to an end and all this jazz, right? um So some of the stuff and I think the article implies that that it's not conscious is unconscious Right The main thing that we have to do is what wiki leaks and julien assange and whistleblowers And many other journalists have always told us to do question everything Especially information coming from centralized institutions Greetings fellow brothers my dolls. How are you doing? The mk ultra was not about every day pro propaganda adonte Maybe not, but it has definitely gone there mk ultra was about mind control is about Controlling the narrative is about planting seeds is about Turning people over to do your bidding mk ultra is just one arm of a bigger umbrella That is about social engineering What is about dante? How can he say that if he isn't sure though? It was about getting people to do unconscionable things When I just to clarify this dante when I saw 99 of the people in canada In my part of the world Supporting the invasion bombing of afghanistan I was blown away through all the history that we knew that we know Right through all the information that we know I saw almost everyone That I talked to support the invasion of afghanistan right That is As you say it was about getting people to do unconscionable things For me It blew me away That was unconscionable And we can talk about Invasion of iraq we can talk about 2008 financial collapse Scam we can talk about bombing of syria destruction of libya right those are unconscionable acts that a huge percentage of Our communities our societies supported Unbelievable that's part of social engineering Since it is rt it neglects to include that similar things were done on a vastly large scale in the soviet union in china during that time This does not forgive any of it just gives context agreed post apocalypse. Yeah After people say world war two ended in 1944 1945 right, but it didn't end for the eastern bloc the soviet union Committed some horrendous acts In the eastern bloc they killed Hundreds of thousands of people millions of people in the gulags and stuff like this right What is mk ultra? Uh, do a search for mk ultra sleep waves mk arsha is basically a government program cia program To get people as dante said to assassinate people to commiss her commit her horrendous crimes to control people Mk ultra was not about lying to the masses. It was trying to control individuals and get Confessions out of them, but don't a the techniques they learned through mk ultra and They used some of the techniques they had learned by through bernie's To fine-tune their work. It's not separate from social engineering Mk ultra was a government project I I wouldn't say was I think it is a government project from 1950s to 1970s officially Where they tried to create mind control tactics for torture purposes, I believe from torture purposes The study of propaganda doesn't really connect with that sydney Got lib was a key figure chemist II rc What does irrc mean gang? I don't know what that acronym means. I got to look it up who pioneered the project Was a highly highly unethical broke loads of laws and was illegal throughout use stuff like lsd over psychoactive substances to gain control over the substance Subjects minds teach alive the nazis got germans to allow them to murder tens of millions of people That doesn't mean they used mind control tactics That I'm I'm more talking about the social engineering Once you get a whole population supporting a war of aggression or a war invasion You are killing millions of people The invasion afghanistan has killed hundreds of thousands of people right so Where do we draw the line are we talking about those people pulling the trigger or the mass is supporting an invasion Libya has resulted in how many deaths we don't even know Iraq has resulted in how many deaths we don't even know Over a million by many accounts right the u.s At the beginning stages of the iraq invasion said we're not going to do body counts anymore Right i'm reading about the soviet reign right now alexander solos So how do I can't pronounce that is an amazing author If I recall correctly, ah, I I Rc I got to use that man If I recall correctly, if I recall correctly, if I remember correctly, okay, sweet. Thank you very much II rc I'm going to start using that and always take what I say with an II rc attached to my comments, okay Because I'm I'm not really looking into the nitty gritty little fine tuning of things of this event and this event and this event even though I know some of them because I That's what the phase that was in many years ago, right? Oh, this happened. What was all the links connecting there, right? I I'd like taking a look at the grand picture of where we're headed and According to the reaction we're seeing from the opc doma docs and people not talking about it We still got a lot of work to do Chicho, that's not my point look propaganda Look propaganda is not the same as mind control and as far as I know MK ultra had nothing to do with controlling the masses Okay, we can we can separate them if you like Dante you can control the masses with the regular propaganda At what level for sure you can control the masses with regular propaganda But can you can you control the masses by just regular propaganda to get them to Commit horrendous atrocities throughout history. We've seen that but because we have so much information available to us right now through wiki leaks and other amazing journalists out there and platforms where whistleblowers are releasing information then You want to make okay. We make a distinction Then I would say more harsher techniques are needed than regular propaganda You don't need lsd experiments. Yes, absolutely. Okay. If you want to make a distinction, we can make a distinction All right, but mass psychosis can be brought about then Not using lsd. You can use it through shutting people's logistical and that analytical abilities through TV programs through movies really The the alpha state you go into when you're Zoned into a show is pretty deep. You can plant anything you want imagery is huge So back to the opc w leakage if these docs show that it was Unjust for the us to bomb syria us uk and france syria How is that any different from all the other times? They drone drop bombs in syria Because the whole propaganda machine the democrats the republic the media was pushing for the united states to invade syria Right? It's not different. It's just much more grand and the different factor of it is opc w was supposed to be a separate organization not politicize politicized scientists conducting Investigations and releasing That information Without a political bias opc w is completely compromised now. It is basically just like the atlantic council It's basically the pentagon coming out and saying we need to go and bomb somewhere here because they did this That's what the opc w has now become which is crazy Which is horrendous, right? Like why this? a specific incident That's the reason It reveals That the opc w has been compromised which was supposed to be totally separate from the united states military arm Right The recent mass control methods in china are being exported to dictatorships in the rest of the world through direct business contracts And they will be coming to the western world and they are here in large part as well Dude radicalized muslims freely decided to go to syria to butcher infidels There was no mind control involved. It was just radicalized ready, but radicalization is mind control Radicalization don't I I consider radicalization mind control what What else would it be? Would you not agree radicalization is mind control? ISIS did use their own propaganda to spread their message and gain recruits Yes, that's what i'm saying. It was just regular old propaganda. I don't think it's regular propaganda Regular propaganda. I consider to be way more benign Right like disney is regular propaganda Even though there's subliminal messages there that tells people to With kids and we can go deep into it, but I rather not right Simple simple cheap not sophisticated not involving any other sci-fi methods of mind control It's not mind control as mk ultra tried to achieve okay, so mk ultra would be surgery and Because they're cutting people open literally some of them and Regular propaganda would be taking pharmaceuticals Right Do we draw the distinction there? I don't know for me. It's all under one umbrella. Dante to me. It's under one umbrella, right? If you can deprogram people that have been through mk ultra, right and mk ultra was horrendous They gave people lst Canadian families sued the u.s government for experimenting on their family members who ended up dying Like one of the people that mk ultra involved that they gave lst to people unsuspectingly huge doses of lst And supposedly there were people that jumped off the the balcony and killed themselves because they were just tripping balls, right? Now were they thrown off or that they jump off themselves? Who knows? We don't know, right? But the u.s government settled gave money to Canadian families For conducting illegal experiments on their family members So sure mk ultra was them directly Feeding people drugs torturing them Shocking them and all that jazz, but those reports that information was really and some of the mk ultra dante involved Electrical shocking them exposing to people to visuals and sound which is really directly connected to What we're seeing through entertainment, right? So that that is a part of it There's a huge link there Yeah, it is a stretch for people to bring mk ultra in there. There are other sources that are more related. Yeah mk ultra is taking it to the limit, right? I'll talk a question chicho. How much time does someone need to practice study a day to learn a new skill? I don't know depends on the skill sleepy waves It really depends on the skill. Yeah, I wouldn't cite mk ultra when trying to explain why people Believe the new york times. No, I wouldn't directly go there for sure. Dante. I agree with you there mk ultra is taking it to the limit, right? but New york times is programming Like seriously I've had discussions over the years with people who continue to consume mainstream news sources And I talked to them. I go look They lie to you about iraq. They lie to you about afghanistan They lie to you about the 2008 financial scam, right? They lie to you about libya. They lie to you about syria And you still read and listen to this crap like What like I I wish I could grab them and shake them and go. What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? Just stop it, right? But they won't do it as far as I see it once it reaches that level. They are Completely brainwashed there. There's no other There's nothing else you can say about that, right? They are programmed What what do they need to kick out of that programming? I really don't know, right? Is it huge doses of entheogens? Possibly Is it for them to travel to stop their work to stop their responsibility? Pull all their money out of wall street and be disconnected from the system Long enough for them to be able to breathe and realize. Oh my god. They're living a lie Is that what it is? right Could be asmr, right? That's one of the reasons I started once people start asking me to do asmr once I started doing the asmr People would contact me say chicho your stuff has helped me tremendously to realize what is going on not specifically these political stuff, but comic book stuff right the mathematics just the different things people need to be kicked out of that Rhythm that they're in that to me is brainwashing programming Let's say a skill like an instrument like an instrument sleepy waves I don't know I practice when I start playing drums I was practicing hours a day and it wasn't I wasn't natural at it and I reached a level where I Got a tremendous amount of joy out of it I was in a couple of bands and we played and I would still there were days I would practice eight hours a day My fingers would bleed, right? Because I wasn't natural at it. So it really depends if you're natural or not you would just have to try I think if you're trying to improve home your skills on anything What you need to do is do that thing and see if you want to spend more time on it If you're spending a lot of time on it, you're going to improve the rate You're going to improve at is really dependent on if you're natural at it or not They say like 10,000 10,000 hours to become proficient That doesn't mean you won't be any good before 10,000 hours. It is very large topic very large topic It's diminishing returns the first 1000 hours will give you the most improvement. Yeah, I agree with Dante, right? You and then you're going to level out, right? It's like going to the gym people working out the people There's a huge branch of people that just do physical activity and stuff. They're healthy and stuff There's a whole branch that are trying to become professional that is huge And only a small fraction reached that level because it's that 5% 10% extra you need that requires So much more time than what you have already put in to reach the 90% or 80% level Hey, hey drummer drummers unite. I've been drumming since 2013 is love it so much me too. I used to I stopped drumming a long time ago On an unrelated note, I submitted some of my university applications today. Nice to go be awesome So Bellingcat is funded by warlords basically. Yeah The series minefield by Vsauce on youtube is now available for free covers different topics about the mine. Cool Don't you also find it Disgusting how it costs roughly 80 dollars per application for university does it now? It is disgusting, but I guess they need to pay people to review those applications Or is it just automatic the university in In University is still good if you're going in there for a right degree and stuff like this, which is fantastic, right? But be careful the type of degree you're getting and how much time you're spending there and how you are being educated, right In and out that's what you're in there for It is so so expensive to just send in your apps. Yeah, and you have to send it into a whole bunch of different universities, right? That can add up 10 universities 800 dollars Let's just application wait until you start looking how much the course is in the books cost, right? You don't need to call it like that I like minefields can recommend yadonte. Okay, cool If I remember I'll go to it and if you guys remember, please post it in I guess philosophy In our discord page or anywhere else. You think it's uh, it fits in Yes, I particularly like the coverage and social behavior. Cool. Cool I like adam kurtis the century of the south and adam kurtis has produced a lot of work like that We're at two two uh past two hours. It's more about science. Is it okay throw it in science down to if you remember Up time Newer science in psychology. Okay, cool. So we've been streaming for two hours and 15 minutes I'm studying computer science hoping to specialize in artificial intelligence or perhaps a data science area Mainly want to get into ai to figure out how to prevent Also more power to your brother Also, this is very ignorant But the reason the u.s wage war was that they thought syria used chemical weapons against their citizens No, the reason they waged war on syria was because of All they countless other reasons other than the chemical attacks, right? That there was it wasn't because of that the last thing the united states military gives rats about is civilians Okay We know that throughout history. We know that as of right now, right? No, that was the justification. That was a justification to the people Of the united states and the western people and people were fully supporting it Okay, the reason was to get syria out of iran's and russia's sphere of influence In large part that was that was a huge part of it Russia has a Navy base in syria. Is there only navy base in that region? Okay, it has to do with the levant the greater levant who controls it. There's water there. There's gas there There's oil there. Okay. It has to do with the shiai crescent. It has to do with pipelines coming out of the parse gas field Right, if you go to my site sleepy waves go into iran You'll see one article I wrote which is Let me find it for you.
