EDWARD SNOWDEN Everything about Donald Trump

Highly Recommended. Pay attention to the TRUTH and STOP throwing WHISTLE BLOWERS in PRISON. Why 2 tier legal system? So MANY LIARS from the TOP down yet those with REAL power don't get incarcerated. Lying under oath.

we're here in a hotel room in Moscow not 0:07 your home 0:09 no reporters have interviewed you in 0:12 person at home why is that well given my 0:16 situation right I'mI'm kind of it all 0:20 shall we say less stable environment 0:22 that the most people are I don't like to 0:25 bring people to my home because I don't 0:30 know who they are 0:31 who's coming with them and we have to 0:33 remember that technically my government 0:36 right or wrong considers me to be a 0:39 fugitive in exile right there is still 0:42 technically a manhunt that's following 0:45 me around wherever I go 0:47 so I don't really want to make life any 0:50 easier for people were trying to silence 0:54 me to think US officials know where you 0:56 live you know where you are i think they 0:58 have a general idea at this point you 1:02 know after three years of the can't 1:04 figure it out 1:06 they're probably not doing their job 1:07 very well but I don't think they know 1:10 specifically where I am pretty careful 1:12 you would like to move around from 1:15 apartment to apartment right now but I'm 1:18 not late on the Underground Railroad or 1:20 anything like that I just try to live a 1:23 careful and quiet kind of humble life 1:25 and I don't want to be uprooted by 1:28 publicity and reporters outside my home 1:31 definitely not agent sounds like my home 1:33 do you live in Russian government 1:35 housing know how do you afford your rent 1:38 I speak number of different places I've 1:41 been incredibly fortunate to enjoy as 1:44 much support as I have when I came 1:47 forward I expected to be entirely alone 1:51 i didn't really have a plan for the day 1:54 after my only focus was working with the 1:57 journalists to get the truth of what was 2:00 going on in violation of the law back 2:03 into public hands so I've really had to 2:07 sort of build the airplane as its 2:11 falling but we've reached a point where 2:14 actually we're flying 2:17 can you walk around freely the streets 2:20 of Moscow and not be recognized 2:23 I walked here are you ever recognized I 2:26 am sometimes you know it's funny 2:28 actually uh if I walk out on the street 2:32 people have no idea who I am if I walk 2:38 into a computer store everyone in the 2:41 store will immediately recognize me i 2:43 think it's one of those things like the 2:45 way your brain catches on to the 2:46 Association it's been more than three 2:49 years since you arrived here in Moscow 2:51 if you could use one word to describe 2:55 those three years what would it be 2:57 surprising i think most Americans 3:04 particularly ones who like myself worked 3:07 for the CIA the NSA they have a very 3:10 particular view of Russia I was 3:14 terrified to come here because I didn't 3:20 expect to stay and I got trapped but 3:24 since I've been here I've been very 3:26 successful actually in avoiding 3:28 government entanglements was really 3:31 afraid that they were going to pressure 3:32 me that we're going to follow me around 3:33 and of course I've said before and sworn 3:38 testimony that they did try in the 3:40 airport but I had a journalist with me 3:42 and I gave him the state farm and I said 3:44 look guys don't have any information I 3:47 don't have any documents i'm not going 3:48 to cooperate and surprisingly i think 3:54 due to the political complexities of 3:57 this situation they had a tough choice 3:59 they went 4:01 we can either try to lean on this guy 4:03 right or we can leave him alone and for 4:07 once maybe Russia will get some good PR 4:10 out of this now i think 4:16 the most surprising part of this is not 4:19 the fact that the government has left me 4:22 along for the most part but the fact 4:27 that Russia is not this disastrous and 4:31 sad place they have very troubled 4:34 politics as many countries do and there 4:37 are a lot of reforms that I feel as 4:39 American desperately need to be made but 4:43 it's a beautiful country and the regular 4:45 people who are going about their lives 4:46 everyday want the same things that we as 4:49 Americans do and it seems like that 4:53 should be obvious but for me and I think 4:56 many others it really wasn't a lot has 4:58 changed since you've been here and as 5:02 you know we have a new president elect 5:04 what do you think of Donald Trump try 5:08 not to but I think we all have to this 5:15 is this really feels like a year in 5:20 which everybody was wrong about 5:21 everything so many people had prediction 5:25 so many people had ideas and i think 5:27 most Americans whether they work in the 5:30 press whether they were ordinary people 5:32 simply could not imagine we would be 5:35 where we are today and yet here we are 5:38 now the reason I say try not to think 5:43 about Donald Trump is that we should be 5:46 focusing on people we should be focusing 5:49 on the directions the impacts the 5:50 policies that this will lead to 5:52 presidents come and go policies stay the 5:57 Executive Director of Human Rights Watch 5:58 can Roth said just a few days ago that 6:02 he thinks we're seeing the rise of a new 6:05 kind of leader in different countries 6:07 around the world a more authoritarian 6:09 leader who sees rights not necessarily 6:15 as a good thing but as a barrier to 6:18 implementing the will of the majority 6:19 but from my perspective I believe this 6:23 is a fundamentally America 6:24 an idea this is what rights are for 6:27 rights are the only thing that stands 6:31 behind stands between decades and 6:34 centuries of democratic progress and one 6:37 election that changes everything and 6:38 leads to rather than Elaine society a 6:42 tyranny of the majority now that's not 6:44 to say what's coming but when we have 6:48 all three branches of government 6:50 suddenly captured and controlled by a 6:53 single party that is a moment of 6:55 systemic risk and we need to think about 7:00 what that means could be coming what the 7:03 risks are and what we can do as citizens 7:05 how we can be more active and ensuring 7:09 the country that we've built over so 7:11 many years continues to be built in the 7:14 right way I think 7:22 tomorrow is very uncertain right now but 7:28 we shouldn't be afraid of that we should 7:30 recognize that we should prepare for 7:33 that 7:34 don't be afraid be ready 7:37 what worries you at the most about a 7:39 trump presidency the main things that I 7:42 would be concerned about our policies 7:46 that aren't pursuing a positive vision 7:48 they're not thinking about what America 7:52 is really about and how to improve it 7:55 how to retaliate against a small group 7:57 of vulnerable population particular 8:00 class to me 8:04 these don't seem like a particularly 8:07 American directions to be heading now 8:11 this is not to say that I don't want 8:15 this president or any of the president 8:17 to be successful in fact I want every 8:20 president to be successful in building a 8:23 better America but we need to make sure 8:25 that that's what's happening and we 8:29 can't trust that will happen we can't 8:31 wait for somebody to do that if we want 8:34 to be in a better America we have to do 8:37 it ourselves right before the election 8:39 you tweeted quote there may never be a 8:41 safer election which to vote for a third 8:44 option 8:45 yeah any work rats about that tweet you 8:49 know this is one of those things where I 8:50 said you know everybody's been waiting i 8:54 was referencing the New York Times front 8:57 page 1 of 3 where they said Hillary 9:00 Clinton had a ninety-three percent 9:01 chance of winning the election and i 9:04 believe the statistics and I was certain 9:07 she had this in the bag and because of 9:11 that you know it seemed like everything 9:14 was open to possibilities that where the 9:16 election wasn't even really an election 9:18 I was wrong 9:22 do I regret that I don't think I regret 9:27 trusting this district court right 9:29 because i think particularly when we're 9:33 focused on scientific methods of polling 9:35 we need to be able to recognize that 9:38 experts have information they're using 9:40 methods and this should be reliably 9:42 should take this into account before the 9:44 election as you know the DNC and the 9:47 Clinton campaign were both hacked US 9:49 intelligence officials including the 9:52 head of Homeland Security if said they 9:54 believed only Russia senior-most 9:57 officials could have authorized those 9:59 hacks do you think Russia was behind 10:02 those hacks I don't know but as somebody 10:06 who worked in intelligence i certainly 10:08 think it's possible they definitely have 10:10 the capabilities and there is I think a 10:13 broad consensus among us intelligence 10:15 committee officials at least as has been 10:18 sort of promoted in the news that Russia 10:21 did have some responsibility behind this 10:23 but what bothers me about this kind of 10:26 conversation is that the last time there 10:30 was a significant hack that affected the 10:32 united states that we believed had an 10:34 association to a nation-state it was the 10:36 Sony hack which we said North Korea's 10:39 pine the FBI immediately released 10:41 evidence that they believe proved that 10:44 they were behind that attack we haven't 10:46 seen that here and I think we're going 10:49 to have this conversation it should be 10:51 evidence-based other than the fact that 10:53 they've said complimentary things about 10:55 each other why do you think Vladimir 10:57 Putin would want Donald Trump to be 11:00 President or did he simply pour the 11:03 possibility of Hillary Clinton that role 11:07 i think it came down to the idea 11:12 generally right or wrong that Hillary 11:16 Clinton had a very clear set of policies 11:19 that 11:20 [Music] 11:22 Russians would consider to be 11:25 anti-russian Donald Trump's policies 11:29 no one has any idea what they are no one 11:31 has any idea what they mean even for 11:34 himself it seems they change quite 11:38 frequently sometimes within the space of 11:39 weeks sometimes within the space of days 11:41 and they may have preferred uncertainty 11:44 to certainty the DNC and the Clinton 11:47 campaign emails were obtained by 11:49 WikiLeaks I'm just curious how do you 11:51 feel about Julian Assange and its 11:53 wholesale dumping of these emails they 11:58 have a very different policy than I 12:01 followed uh in my work with journalists 12:05 but they have taken a position they 12:07 serve embody a belief that the only way 12:11 they can prove the authenticity of these 12:15 documents is to release them in what 12:18 they call a pristine on tamper condition 12:21 from my perspective I was a very 12:25 different position because of course 12:27 this was not an anonymous like I came 12:29 out behind them i said these are from 12:31 the NSA this is why i am and immediately 12:34 we knew they were real because the 12:35 government came after me with many 12:36 charges and threatened to put me in 12:38 prison for the rest of my life but I 12:43 felt that this was a risk worth taking 12:47 for me because there would be no 12:52 question as to the authenticity of the 12:54 documents which gave me room to instead 12:57 focus on how can this information be 13:01 revealed in the most responsible way to 13:04 fully mitigate any potential actual or 13:07 theoretical risks that could come as a 13:10 result of this journalism and I'm very 13:13 proud of the way that we did that and 13:15 I'm very comfortable with the decisions 13:18 that we make 13:19 let's talk about your partner now the 13:21 pardon Snowden campaign launched in 13:23 September led by backers like george 13:26 soros Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey the ACLU 13:30 what do you think your chances are that 13:33 President Obama well in fact pardon you 13:36 well I'm not counting on it and this is 13:39 the the key here the possibility for 13:43 partner 13:44 it seems to every expert has looked at 13:46 this issue has never been more likely 13:49 and this is a surprise to myself more 13:52 than anyone else like that why do you 13:54 say that 13:54 well just a few days ago we had 15 13:58 members of The Church Committee most 13:59 people may not remember what they are 14:01 but in the nineteen seventies the 14:04 intelligence of organizations went 14:06 through the greatest period of oversight 14:08 of their history they sort of pulled up 14:11 the blankets and looked at what was 14:12 happening at the CIA the NSA the FBI 14:15 they were writing letters to dr. Martin 14:18 Luther King jr. saying that they had 14:20 tapes of what he had done in hotel rooms 14:23 and if he didn't commit suicide 14:25 they were going to release them and 14:27 destroy his reputation they were 14:30 secretly administering psychedelic drugs 14:32 to college students to see the impact 14:34 that would have they're engaging in 14:36 assassination operations that were 14:38 contrary to both American and 14:39 international law all kinds of crazy 14:42 things these individuals who are experts 14:45 in what's going on intelligence at the 14:47 classified level worked for the 14:49 government right these aren't sort of 14:51 hippie reformers or anything like that 14:54 they argued the president obama should 14:59 seriously consider leniency in this case 15:02 they said that this case has caused far 15:05 more benefits to american society which 15:08 i think is uncontroversial at this point 15:10 than any claim terms for which we've 15:12 never seen evidence if you had one 15:14 minute to make your case face-to-face to 15:18 President Obama what would you say to 15:21 convince him to pardon you I wouldn't I 15:25 would respectfully say to the president 15:29 I understand you have accrued 15:32 difficult job no one wants to be a 15:35 whistleblower this is something that's 15:37 hard to do 15:38 it's hard enough to stand up to a bully 15:41 in your life to your boss in the office 15:44 much less the combined might of the 15:49 national security agents of the FBI and 15:51 you know the apparatus of government 15:54 nobody's gonna volunteer for that 15:55 nobody's going to sort of take this as a 15:59 president is going to open floodgates 16:02 but there's one thing that i would hope 16:06 he understands and i think based on his 16:08 recent statements he does he said that 16:14 my actions and this journalism raised 16:18 legitimate concerns 16:19 we're living in a time today we're 16:24 journalism is occurring environment of 16:27 extraordinary threat and as official 16:30 sources of information for the American 16:33 citizen the American voter begin to dry 16:36 up confidential sources the sources upon 16:43 which the best journalism has always 16:46 rely people in government who know the 16:48 reality of what's actually going on 16:50 particularly when the operations of 16:53 government start to go out of bounds are 16:56 critical now and this is America when 17:01 something goes wrong don't we want 17:03 somebody to stand up and say something 17:06 about it 17:07 are you saying it's particularly 17:09 important in a trump administration or 17:12 in a republican-controlled Washington I 17:15 don't think it's about party 17:17 I don't think it's about person i do 17:19 think the incoming president has 17:23 definitely said he plans to break some 17:25 furniture right he would be the last to 17:30 deny this and that means we need to be 17:34 careful that means we need to prepare 17:36 Donald Trump tweeted about you in 2014 17:39 writing Snowden is a traitor in our 17:42 country was great you know what we did 17:44 too 17:44 leaders meanwhile his pick for CIA 17:47 director Kansas Congressman Mike Pompeo 17:49 has called you a liar and a criminal and 17:53 in at least one interview also called 17:56 through your execution 17:59 what's your reaction I wonder when it is 18:03 that he thinks America was great because 18:06 if you remember what we did to traders 18:08 in 1776 and afterwards we made them a 18:11 president we're a country that was born 18:15 from an act of treason against the 18:17 government that had run out of control 18:20 now this is not to say that breaking the 18:23 rules is something that should happen 18:24 all the time but we should always make a 18:27 distinction that right and wrong is a 18:31 very different standard than legal and 18:34 illegal the law is no substitute for 18:37 morality here for then are you saying 18:41 what you did was right 18:43 I think your legal are both i would not 18:47 have done it if I didn't believe it was 18:50 right but you want to acknowledge it was 18:52 illegal 18:53 I definitely would say it's pretty 18:57 sketchy there but look every act of 19:04 progression in our nation's history has 19:08 involved tension with law whether it was 19:11 the abolition of slavery weather was the 19:14 enfranchisement of women whether it was 19:17 the birth of our nation laws were broken 19:20 and that's because the laws were wrong 19:23 there is a lot of talk up there 19:27 including among top ranking intelligence 19:30 officials that Vladimir Putin may hand 19:33 you over to the United States as a good 19:37 well well gesture to the Trump 19:40 administration how concerned / nervous 19:44 are you about that possibility 19:48 I'm actually kind of encouraged 19:50 encouraged for completely different 19:53 reasons uh it wasn't so many years ago 19:58 the people were saying this guy's 20:00 Russian spy but countries don't give up 20:03 their spies and if my recent criticism 20:07 of the Russian government's internet 20:08 policies criticisms of the Human Rights 20:11 records have been so severe that even my 20:16 greatest critics in the intelligence 20:17 community are now saying oh yeah he's a 20:19 liability they want to get him out of 20:21 there 20:21 that's the vindication of indication of 20:26 what the fact that i'm independent the 20:29 fact that i have always worked on behalf 20:31 of the United States and the fact that 20:33 Russia doesn't own me 20:34 in fact the Russian government may see 20:37 me as sort of a liability so you 20:39 wouldn't mind if Putin said extradited 20:43 you and said here we go president Trump 20:46 wouldn't I mean that would obviously be 20:49 something that would bother me that 20:50 would obviously be something that would 20:52 be a threat to my liberty and to my life 20:54 but what I'm saying here is that you 20:59 can't have it both ways you can't say 21:01 this guy is a bad guy who's like a 21:03 Russian tool or something like that at 21:05 the same time you say he's going to be 21:07 traded away what I'm proud of is the 21:11 fact that every decision that i made i 21:13 can defend another option for you as a 21:16 plea deal 21:17 what can you tell us about the ongoing 21:19 conversations between your legal team in 21:22 the Justice Department I can't get into 21:25 any confidential legal conversations 21:27 what i can say is what's been made 21:28 public so far which is that I've only 21:32 ever had a single condition for 21:34 returning to the United States 21:36 volunteering to go to court and very 21:39 likely to prison and that's the 21:42 government guarantee of Sarah 21:43 and open trial where they don't try to 21:46 control what I can say and what the jury 21:49 can hear they've never agreed to this 21:51 and in fact even though we've made that 21:53 our grounds they've responded with only 21:56 a single promise and that's they say we 21:59 won't torture you 22:01 you don't believe you'll be able to get 22:04 a fair trial in the United States it's 22:06 not possible to get a fair trial under 22:09 the laws with which I've been charged 22:11 the Espionage Act of 1917 you're 22:13 referring to 22:14 that's correct this is a law which 22:17 prohibits an individual who's charged 22:19 with this crime from telling the jury 22:20 why it is that they did what they did 22:23 this is fundamentally against the idea 22:27 of a fair trial if you can't explain 22:29 yourself to the jury why have a trial at 22:31 all how much present time would you be 22:33 willing to serve I don't put a number on 22:36 it instead i look at it from a very 22:37 different perspective we're going into a 22:42 World again we're here now where 22:45 whistleblowers are more important than 22:47 ever 22:47 what kind of a message would i be 22:51 sending if in perhaps the most 22:56 responsible case of modern 22:57 whistle-blowing that we have now we're 23:01 no clear harm has occurred that's been 23:03 demonstrated by evidence but clear 23:06 public benefits have occurred the 23:09 President of the United States himself 23:11 said this conversation started by the 23:14 asset relations started bunny has made 23:17 us stronger as a nation congress passed 23:20 the first significant reforms to us 23:22 intelligence laws in 14 years the courts 23:26 themselves found the documents that i 23:28 revealed showed unlawful and likely 23:32 unconstitutional activities on the part 23:34 of government given all that given how 23:39 much we benefit if I go to prison for 23:43 the rest of my life 23:44 what's that going to do for the next 23:47 person who sees something illegal who 23:50 sees something unconstitutional realizes 23:52 they may be the only one who can do 23:54 something about it 23:55 chelsea manning is serving 35 years in 23:59 prison 24:00 why shouldn't you I think the right 24:03 answer to look at here is why is chelsea 24:05 manning in prison for 35 years is the 24:07 suggest sentence 24:09 this is an individual who revealed 24:11 unambiguous war crimes there are some 24:15 arguments that say she went too far 24:17 maybe she released too much but we know 24:21 now is that information was released in 24:23 2009 we're now in 2016 and with each 24:29 passing year it gets harder and harder 24:30 to demonstrate any real harm that came 24:33 as a result of these disclosures but the 24:35 benefits are clear she's trying to take 24:38 her life twice this year has she not 24:42 suffered enough potentially what would a 24:45 plea deal look like for you you know I'm 24:49 not actually sure because I'm not a 24:50 lawyer but the idea here is when most 24:55 people who are involved in government or 24:58 the intelligence community are involved 25:00 in some sort of case where the 25:03 government goes this person was acting 25:05 in good faith they were trying to do 25:07 right by the American people but they 25:08 did break the law 25:10 no charges were brought for the brought 25:12 very minimally perhaps the best-known 25:15 case in recent history here is General 25:17 Petraeus who shared information that was 25:20 far more highly classified than I ever 25:23 did with journalists and he shared this 25:26 information not with the public for 25:29 their benefit but with his biographer 25:31 and lover for personal benefit 25:35 conversations that had 25:37 information detailed information about 25:41 military special access programs it's 25:45 classified above top secret 25:46 conversations with the president's on 25:48 when the government came after him 25:52 they charged him with a misdemeanor he 25:54 never spent a single day in jail despite 25:57 the type of classified information he 26:00 exposed when we had the most senior 26:03 intelligence official United States 26:05 general james clapper who lied to the 26:08 American people and all of Congress on 26:10 camera under oath in the Senate in a 26:14 famous exchange with ron wyden does the 26:17 NSA collect any type of data at all on 26:21 millions or hundreds of millions of 26:24 Americans no sir it does not 26:29 not wittingly there are cases where they 26:34 could inadvertently perhaps collect but 26:39 not not winning one he wasn't even 26:41 charged with giving false testimony to 26:44 congress under oath as he did is a 26:47 felony 26:47 it's typically punished by three to five 26:49 years in prison are you suggesting 26:51 there's a double standard between 26:53 high-ranking officials and lower-level 26:55 employees such as yourself i'm not sure 26:58 i'm suggesting I think everyone's aware 27:00 of it we have a two-tiered system of 27:02 justice in the United States where 27:04 people who are either 27:06 well connected to government where they 27:08 have access to incredible amount of 27:09 resources get very light punishment the 27:12 house permanent Select Committee on 27:14 Intelligence conducted an exhaustive to 27:17 your investigation into your actions in 27:20 a letter to President Obama the 27:22 committee wrote quote he's not a patriot 27:25 he's not a whistleblower he's a criminal 27:28 what's your reaction to that 27:30 characterization I can see it's funny 27:33 how quickly the President himself 27:34 distance himself by from this report in 27:37 his recent remarks by saying that mr. 27:40 Snowden raise legitimate concerns 27:43 but in direct response to this report I 27:47 would actually say anything instead i'll 27:49 use the words of three-time Pulitzer 27:52 prize-winning journalist one of the most 27:54 respected in the United States Barton 27:56 Gellman the Washington Post who has seen 27:59 the material that i turned over and 28:02 knows that in fact that was not true he 28:04 found that four out of the six claims 28:07 that the Intelligence Committee made in 28:11 this report for verifiably false he had 28:14 the evidence to show this the fifth one 28:17 was species the best and the sixth was 28:20 what that I faked a sick day when I was 28:23 trying to get out to meet with 28:25 journalists which let's be real i am 28:27 completely totally guilty of 28:29 he said the report was not only 28:33 inaccurate not only in curious but try 28:37 fling 28:38 Admiral Mike Rogers the director of the 28:42 NSA told yahoo news this year that your 28:45 disclosures accelerated move by 28:47 terrorists to encrypted communications 28:49 and made it easier for them to plan 28:52 attacks like the one in Paris without 28:55 being detected he said quote no one 28:58 should doubt for one minute 29:00 there has been an impact because of your 29:02 disclosures it's fully that he says that 29:05 because he's also served on the record 29:07 to journalists that when he looks around 29:09 the sky is not falling the NSA's 29:11 operations have not been significantly 29:14 hindered and they're still very much in 29:16 business 29:16 moreover we know for a fact at this 29:19 point that the Paris attackers were not 29:22 using encrypted communications and 29:24 effect we're using simple burner phones 29:26 of the type that drug dealers were using 29:28 back in the nineteen nineties even if 29:31 there is not any specific concrete 29:33 evidence that your actions aided 29:36 terrorists 29:37 there's also no specific concrete 29:39 evidence that they didn't and even 29:42 Barton Gellman the reporter you just 29:45 mentioned one of the journalists with 29:46 whom you share classified documents said 29:48 quote I do not share the view of some of 29:51 his fans that he did no damage 29:54 at all and you at least acknowledge that 29:57 damage might have been done as a result 29:59 of your disclosures I don't agree with 30:01 him in that regard 30:03 what I will say is this whenever we're 30:06 talking about damage without evidence 30:09 this is an intentional effort to change 30:12 the conversation from the concrete harms 30:16 of these programs that violated the 30:18 rights of every man woman and child in 30:21 the United States and people around the 30:23 world and instead talk about the 30:25 theoretical risks of journalism what 30:28 Barton Gellman was acknowledging there 30:30 was that yes it's possible that 30:32 officials could have been embarrassed by 30:34 this reputations could have been damaged 30:38 by this and the intelligence community 30:40 considers this to be a matter of 30:42 national security but I would argue 30:46 there's more than two national security 30:49 than reputation that are we talking in 30:52 fairness more than simply reputations 30:56 for being embarrassed virtually every US 30:59 security official current and former 31:01 agrees that these disclosures made it 31:05 more difficult to track the movements of 31:08 organizations like Isis and other 31:10 terrorist groups i don't agree with that 31:13 now of course it's reasonable to presume 31:15 that these things could happen 31:17 terrorists read the newspaper too but 31:20 i'll tell you terrorists already knew 31:23 the NSA was coming after them and what 31:26 we saw in the newspaper wasn't anything 31:28 that they didn't already understand what 31:31 was revealed in the newspaper was only a 31:33 surprise to Americans and ordinary 31:36 citizens how many documents were 31:38 provided to journalists this is a good 31:41 question but i have to say remember i am 31:43 still under active investigation so I 31:45 can't answer FBI style questions on 31:47 camera because the number has ranged 31:49 from 50,000 to as you said 1.5 million 31:53 you can't give us any idea what i can 31:56 tell you is the journalists and there 31:58 are several of them have consistently 32:00 said the government's numbers are 32:03 Ludacris over estimates you also reveal 32:06 to a reporter at the South China Morning 32:08 Post that the u.s. was conducting 32:10 surveillance of people and organizations 32:13 in China 32:14 why did you do that wasn't that a 32:16 violation of US security national 32:20 interest 32:21 I don't think so at all the type of 32:23 surveillance that we were talking about 32:26 was not the Chinese government it was 32:28 not about the Chinese military was not 32:30 about any valid intelligence targets 32:32 this was about civilian infrastructure 32:35 hospitals universities that have been 32:39 digitally hacked and compromised by the 32:41 united states that caused a real threat 32:43 to life now it's not to say the US 32:46 should engage in any hacking but when we 32:49 start hacking hospitals 32:51 this is something that we as a public 32:54 needs to decide if it's a step too far 32:57 you're not anti-surveillance read large 33:00 are you absolutely not if it's 33:02 specifically targeted its authorized by 33:06 the court based on showing of probable 33:08 cause that the court the judge says look 33:12 we think this person is up to no good 33:15 you've shown evidence that they're up to 33:17 no good go after them 33:19 that's how it should be done I asked 33:21 about that interview because they're 33:23 speculation there was some kind of quid 33:25 pro quo with China you give us 33:27 information you can come to Hong Kong 33:29 let's be clear here I never provided any 33:32 information to China the journalists in 33:34 question was an Australian working for 33:37 the south china morning post there are 33:39 freelancers reduce so working for a 33:42 publication and China and I knew them is 33:44 Australian journalist 33:46 so you didn't even know that it was 33:48 going to be in a newspaper in China I 33:50 knew it would be in a newspaper writing 33:52 a wet newspaper this was not my concern 33:55 what about this notion of a quid pro quo 33:57 that people think there was some kind of 33:58 under-the-table deal 34:00 well it's clear that's not the case 34:01 because we've had I would have stayed at 34:03 home you arrived in hong kong on May 34:06 tenth 2013 met with journalist Glenn 34:09 Greenwald and Laura Poitras on jun 1st 34:11 there have been some questions about 34:16 where you were and what you were doing 34:18 during those 10 days before you met with 34:21 those journalists times in the mirror 34:23 hotel waiting for those journalists what 34:26 people sort of miss in this conspiracy 34:29 theory is only held by a few people is 34:32 that the journalists were able to 34:34 immediately travel they had to talk to 34:36 the newspapers get permission had to get 34:38 legal backing they had to get funding 34:40 and get their institutions on board to 34:43 actually travel to Hong Kong what were 34:46 you doing during those 10 days and 34:48 waiting for them to come i was in the 34:50 hotel room the whole time in citizen for 34:54 the tension of those moments in Hong 34:56 Kong is palpable you're seeing going 34:59 through a series of security rituals 35:01 unplugging phones covering your head as 35:04 you type passwords into your computer 35:06 you seemed keenly aware of a target 35:10 being on your back 35:12 could you describe those days for us 35:14 before you went public what that was 35:16 like you know it's those moments it's 35:24 it's it's actually difficult to watch 35:27 them on film it because the pressure the 35:32 stress was so great 35:36 then I was almost in a like a flag state 35:42 you you lose your emotional a fact you 35:47 can't be as higher as low as you 35:49 normally are you only focused on one 35:51 thing and that's mission before you left 35:54 Hong Kong I know you reportedly went to 35:57 the Russian embassy can you tell me why 36:00 and what you did there 36:01 now there's a crazy conspiracy theory 36:04 out there that was a Chinese violence in 36:06 China or Russia inspiron Russia they say 36:09 you know I'm partying in the Russian 36:11 embassy having birthday parties is 36:13 completely wrong and this is the reason 36:15 why that wasn't a newspaper report that 36:18 was carried around the world somebody 36:20 raised this is a conspiracy theory and 36:22 nobody could confirm it because it 36:24 didn't happen after you were granted 36:27 asylum in Russia in august of 2013 you 36:30 issued a statement through WikiLeaks 36:32 criticizing the Obama administration for 36:35 showing no respect for international and 36:37 domestic law and thanking Russia do you 36:41 believe Russia has more respect for 36:43 international off in the united states 36:44 and i think this is kind of false choice 36:48 here you're saying who's worse who you 36:49 want to be upon are you going to condemn 36:51 the United States know the United States 36:54 does wonderful things for human rights 36:55 in many areas around the world but we 36:58 have to remember that nobody's perfect 37:01 Russia has a very poor human-rights 37:03 record in many areas but when they can 37:06 do something good when they can actually 37:08 stand up for the rights of a dissident 37:11 shouldn't we applaud them it's very easy 37:15 nowadays for a Chinese dissident or 37:18 Russian dissident to get asylum anywhere 37:21 in the world 37:21 right that you know doors are open 37:23 everywhere but I applied for asylum in 37:26 21 different countries around the world 37:28 all throughout Western your countries 37:30 like France Germany like Norway like 37:33 Sweden and every time they got close to 37:37 saying yes let's grab this man asylum 37:39 phones will ring the government from the 37:42 vice president united states from the 37:44 Secretary of State saying if you protect 37:47 this man regardless of whether it's 37:51 right or room regardless of whether it's 37:52 lawful and multiple we will take some 37:55 talent or reaction should we applaud 37:57 that 37:58 that doesn't mean the United States is 38:01 some human rights monster but we should 38:03 recognize on a case-by-case basis that 38:06 sometimes we can do right 38:07 sometimes we can do wrong can you see 38:09 the irony and you the poster child for 38:11 civil liberties and privacy finding 38:14 sanctuary in a place that has a little 38:17 respect for either 38:19 absolutely but let's again look at this 38:22 i have been a tireless advocate for the 38:26 expansion of Russian internet freedom 38:28 since I've been in Russia Russia 38:30 recently passed what's called the euro 38:32 vaya law locally it's called the Big 38:36 Brother law that's an internet 38:38 surveillance law i said on passage it 38:41 was a dark day for all Russians it was 38:43 taking money from the average Russian 38:45 citizen it was narrowing the scope of 38:48 their rights 38:49 this is a wound on Russian society and 38:52 believe me that's unlikely to win me any 38:55 friends in Russian government but it's 38:58 something that needs to be said I know 39:01 that you have said you did not provide 39:03 any documents or share any intelligence 39:06 with the Russian government but i want 39:08 to ask you about something that was 39:11 published last June where a member of 39:13 Russia's Parliament publicly conceded 39:15 that you did in fact share intelligence 39:18 with the Russian government 39:20 what did you make of that I'm really 39:22 glad you asked that because this is a 39:25 broadly misreported point this 39:28 individual didn't actually say that it's 39:31 a mistranslation based on 39:33 NPR report where this individual in 39:35 Russian said let's be frank I think they 39:39 were speculating that Russia services 39:42 would of course approached me and that i 39:44 would share information with them it 39:46 didn't happen 39:47 I've never shared information with 39:48 Russia's intelligence services let me 39:50 ask you about Vladimir Putin have you 39:52 ever met him I have not met before this 39:56 kind of surprising thing I mean in the 40:00 United States the number of people who 40:01 meet the president's pretty limited he's 40:04 a busy guy he's got a lot going on but 40:07 people seem to think that I'm going ice 40:09 skating with Vladimir Putin Red Square 40:11 you know every weekend we're writing 40:12 polar bears over the tundra 40:14 ya know I've never met the Russian 40:17 president I have no intention to do you 40:18 have to be careful what you say about 40:20 him giving given that this country is 40:23 provided you sanctuary 40:26 I don't know before I am supposed to 40:28 have done a very good job you have been 40:30 critical of him haven't you 40:31 I have and you feel comfortable doing so 40:34 this you know some people live very 40:42 careful lives 40:44 I haven't done a very good job at that 40:47 its safety was my number one priority 40:51 I never would have left hawaii i would 40:53 still be working at the NSA making 40:56 extraordinary amount of money for very 40:58 little work violating Americans rights 41:01 no one would know what was going on 41:04 today and yes you know I'm never going 41:08 to leave live a completely stable life 41:12 even if I important even if I return in 41:15 the united states there are a lot of 41:17 people who will disagree with the 41:20 decisions that I made but I'm 41:22 comfortable with them i realize that the 41:26 laws of the united states have been 41:27 changed for the better the world the 41:30 President of the United States for the 41:31 first time in our history has provided 41:34 privacy protections to people who aren't 41:36 Americans the decisions of result 41:38 the courts and Congress are finally at 41:42 least starting to play the role that 41:44 they were intended to play no matter the 41:47 cost i can be happy with them 41:49 you have said that you raised concerns 41:52 about excessive NSA surveillance with 41:55 tents superiors and colleagues but only 41:58 one email has been made public 12 a 42:01 lawyer at the NSA with the legal inquiry 42:03 critics they had nothing to do with 42:06 releasing these documents if you 42:08 attempted to go through the proper 42:10 channels said or at least reached out to 42:13 colleagues why didn't share you should 42:15 you saved those communications as 42:19 evidence 42:20 so this is a really good question right 42:22 because it's one of those that seems 42:23 like you know why doesn't have this 42:25 first off I'm not an email administrator 42:27 so i didn't have access to everybody's 42:28 email but these aren't things you put in 42:31 writing an essay saying i think the NS 42:35 is breaking the law 42:37 I think maybe this program is violating 42:39 the Constitution is a career-ending move 42:42 and the people that I talk to first 42:45 my supervisor said you know hey we can 42:48 talk about this but you shouldn't rock 42:50 the boat and don't write this down 42:53 why haven't you given any names to 42:55 corroborate the fact that you did in 42:58 fact try to go through the so-called 43:00 proper channels because if I did that 43:03 they would end the careers of these 43:05 individuals right if these individuals 43:08 spoke on their own without waiting for 43:09 me they would go to jail but there's a 43:12 broader point here and this is the idea 43:14 the proper channels work that they exist 43:18 they are available the whistleblower 43:21 process is fundamentally broken in the 43:25 intelligence community can be said that 43:27 there is no such thing at all the proper 43:28 channels are really a drain into which 43:33 people concerns and cares are flushed in 43:37 2014 43:38 glenn greenwald one of the journalists 43:40 with who you worked said quote the most 43:43 shocking and significant stories have 43:45 yet to be reported 43:47 are there still bombshells 43:50 in this cache of documents that has have 43:54 still not seen the light of day I was 43:57 very careful when I came forward again 43:59 to make sure that i never revealed a 44:02 single secret this I believe quite 44:07 strongly is the role of free press in 44:09 our society 44:11 this is why the First Amendment first 44:13 they're charged with making these 44:16 decisions about what we should know when 44:18 and how they should contest the 44:21 government monopoly on controlling 44:23 information particularly the class white 44:25 spaces so i'm not going to say if 44:29 there's something else coming or when 44:30 but I will say this in 2013 before this 44:38 started the idea that the government was 44:42 collecting records of every phone call 44:44 in the united states was a conspiracy 44:45 theory it's not anymore 44:48 some Americans might say hey we 44:51 appreciate your shedding light on this 44:53 but for us security and 14 a terrorist 44:57 attack is more important than privacy 45:01 this is you know a very common sort of 45:05 throwaway argument from people who are 45:07 just trying to would talking about the 45:09 topic too much to say you have nothing 45:11 to hide you have nothing to fear you 45:13 know why do you care 45:15 they don't think about the origin of 45:17 that quote which is literally piece of 45:20 Nazi propaganda from Joseph Campbell's 45:22 this is not to say dns AR Nazis they're 45:26 not the stock see these are good people 45:28 doing bad things for what they believe a 45:31 good reasons 45:32 privacy is the foundation of all other 45:36 rights i would say arguments you don't 45:42 care about privacy because you have 45:44 nothing to hide is no different than 45:46 saying you don't care about free speech 45:47 because you have nothing to say what is 45:49 the best thing in your view that came 45:52 from these revelations 45:56 before 2013 i think americans all felt 46:03 something was changing but they couldn't 46:06 quite put their finger on it when it 46:07 came to policy particularly this idea of 46:10 counterterrorism we heard terrorism 46:13 terrorism we're trying to keep you safe 46:14 over and over again but it seemed that 46:19 these programs weren't actually keeping 46:21 us safe 46:22 we didn't know it at the time but the 46:25 NSA was tapping every phone in the 46:26 United States and yet it didn't stop the 46:28 Boston Marathon bombings we were 46:31 collecting all the Internet 46:32 communications as they cross the border 46:34 and solve something was going on but 46:36 these were not the things that wanted 46:38 terrorist attacks the things that were 46:40 effective the things that worked for the 46:42 methods that we always used traditional 46:44 good old-fashioned police work that cop 46:47 on the street who saw someone acting 46:50 suspicious limited intelligence exactly 46:53 our founding fathers said he would 46:56 sacrifice Essential Liberty for a little 47:00 temporary safety deserves neither and 47:03 we'll get them either 47:05 this is very much what we are waking up 47:11 to the idea that in many ways with the 47:15 public has lost their seat at the table 47:18 of government as an equal partner I know 47:20 your residency permit runs out at in 47:23 2017 if it's renewed are you prepared to 47:26 live in Russia for the rest of your life 47:28 and what are your other options if it's 47:31 not renewed this is actually not my 47:35 first foreign posting on behalf of the 47:37 United States my work for the CIA i was 47:40 in Switzerland when I worked for the NSA 47:42 I was in Japan the way I look at it this 47:45 is just more of the same it's a very 47:47 different situation and I didn't choose 47:49 this particular posting but look at this 47:53 is the best way i can serve my country 47:55 I'm looking forward to doing it 47:57 Lindsay Mills your girlfriend moved here 47:59 in 2014 48:01 how is she adjusting 48:04 to her life here in Russia you know it's 48:09 surprising how adaptable people are it's 48:12 not easy living in exile for anyone you 48:16 know it's not the place where you belong 48:17 it's not a language that you studied in 48:19 advance 48:21 it's tough to figure out how to make 48:25 into life but she is an incredible 48:31 person because I signed up for this I 48:34 knew what was coming I was volunteering 48:36 for these risks 48:38 I couldn't tell her in advance because I 48:40 did the FBI would treat her as an 48:43 accomplice they were trying to put her 48:44 in prison instead of me and basically 48:47 said I want not going to be home when 48:49 you get back 48:50 yes and I mean it imagine that probably 48:54 makes me the world's worst boyfriend but 48:57 she didn't hate me for in fact she 49:02 seemed to love me more because Shh 49:09 she knew me before I had a job she knew 49:17 me before I was making good money and 49:20 she cared about me then and as I climb 49:24 the ladder as I gained all these 49:26 clearances as I became much more senior 49:29 and successful individual she cared 49:32 about me just as much but when I lost it 49:35 all when I gave it all up because I saw 49:40 something wrong something I believed 49:42 needed to be said she said she just fell 49:46 in love with me all over again and I can 49:51 never thank you enough for that 49:52 what do you miss most about the United 49:55 States family of course that's always 49:57 the thing you know they can come and see 49:59 me but you've got all these travel 50:01 arrangements and logistics you got to go 50:03 on an airplane ride who doesn't miss 50:05 that when you look back at the last 50:08 three years 50:10 was it worth it absolutely I would do it 50:13 again no regrets no regrets at all 50:16 people listening to this might think are 50:20 you kidding no regrets 50:23 well I do have to deal with some tough 50:25 interviews now honestly I'm glad we can 50:28 have these conversations and I hope that 50:31 we work to make in America that never 50:35 loses the opportunity to do this 50:37 journalism is a hard job I understand 50:41 that 50:43 and I think it's clear now then perhaps 50:46 ever before that if we don't make sure 50:51 that sources and journalists can have 50:56 these conversations and not outside 50:59 borders where you've got to fly around 51:01 the world added but at home before we 51:05 get to this point where it's such a 51:06 problem we're losing a lot of what makes 51:09 us great do you think you'll ever be 51:11 able to convince at people who have very 51:14 little sympathy for you who don't 51:16 believe you should be walking around a 51:19 free man here in Moscow but instead you 51:22 should be in prison can 51:26 what do you say to those people who just 51:28 do not understand your point of view I'm 51:31 not going to ask them to trust me I'm 51:34 not going to ask them to believe in me 51:35 because i think americans have had 51:38 enough of people saying trust us 51:43 that was the problem that got us here in 51:45 the first place but what I will say is 51:48 this in 2013 51:51 it was pretty easy to say we don't know 51:55 what's coming 51:55 this guy probably took a lot of risks 51:58 this is really responsible this is going 51:59 to cause harm but in 2016 52:03 these officials have had every 52:06 opportunity to show evidence that harm 52:09 came as a result and they haven't 52:12 do you really think if the government 52:15 can show somebody was hurt a program was 52:18 damaged we've gone dark and can't track 52:21 dangerous people they wouldn't leak that 52:24 criticism that wouldn't be on the front 52:26 page New York Times by the end of the 52:28 day I don't think so and I hope maybe in 52:31 time you'll think the same and snow 52:35 thank you so much for spending all this 52:37 time talking to us we really appreciate 52:39 it thank you very much

Glenn Beck on Trump and the "Muslim Ban"

some of my critics will say that I focus 0:06 too much on the left and what I always 0:07 liked come from the left and i'm trying 0:09 to collect my house everyone else's dad 0:11 right Amen out of your own eye 0:15 I tried for a long time to tell 0:17 progressives why they were wrong it 0:19 doesn't work right no MSNBC built a 0:22 whole network to tell conservatives how 0:24 wrong they are 0:25 it doesn't work i'm pretty sure that is 0:27 not converted anyone going to probably 0:29 converted people to be stronger 0:30 conservatives and a lot of respects you 0:32 because they turn it on and they go wait 0:33 a minute this isn't true right or this 0:35 you know whatever but what else can we 0:38 hit the right on like that want not 0:40 gotcha I gotcha sense but what else has 0:42 the right sort of missed a lot you know 0:47 i dont i I've made a promise that I 0:51 won't judge donald trump on what he did 0:57 during the election 0:59 yeah I'll judge him now on his actions 1:02 as president but there's a lot i 1:06 disagree with him on that he said during 1:09 the election a lot 1:11 yeah if he passes a 1.1 billion stimulus 1:16 package I might lose my mind right this 1:19 is not a conservative idea to do you 1:22 even know you're in fact I remember the 1:25 tea party standing up and saying 780 I 1:28 remember the number 787 billion dollar 1:32 stimulus package 1:33 well I Got News for You Donald Trump's 1:36 will be bigger 1:37 yeah and will you accept it will you 1:39 accept government taking money and then 1:42 think I know what's best to do with it 1:44 no there's that the-the-the just to 1:50 watch people cheer the executive orders 1:54 that keep coming out that he's sitting 1:57 there signing decrees like Caesar I had 2:01 a problem with george w bush doing it I 2:03 had a problem with Barack Obama i have a 2:06 problem with this guy and has anybody 2:08 noticed they're getting worse 2:10 yeah they're grabbing more power 2:13 we have to restore the constitutional 2:15 balance of power 2:16 yeah so that there's video evidence of 2:18 me saying the exact same thing that I 2:20 was against it when George W did it I 2:22 was against obama did it I'm against it 2:24 now and this is the problem that we've 2:26 removed one of the three branches of 2:28 government if we just take the 2:29 legislative branch out and by the way 2:30 it's plenty it's the fault of the Senate 2:32 to because they refused to meet and do 2:33 anything now that stuff but that then we 2:36 feed it enough power to the president 2:38 where people don't even understand 2:39 phenix anymore right 2:41 so so he's assigning you think I'm gonna 2:42 do i get that house me so the 2:44 progressive started this by taking away 2:48 the true nature of the Senate remember 2:51 the Senate was elected originally the 2:53 Senators were picked by the state and 2:56 the state legislatures yeah okay so they 2:59 were picked by the people who in their 3:01 own state were greedy for their own 3:03 state right so they would guard the 3:05 state you would agree you would argue 3:07 that a good thing 3:07 that's great that great day ok so they 3:10 were to guard the state 3:11 well the progressive took that away so 3:13 now we have a hundred men who 3:16 well I want to make sure that shoots 3:17 which the humor stays in or I want to 3:20 make sure Ted Cruz days in well you 3:23 shouldn't have to be connected unless 3:24 you're in the state of Texas or in the 3:26 state of New York so they changed that 3:28 basic fundamental principle and then 3:31 knows people don't know this 3:34 do you know where the supreme court used 3:39 to meet the for FDR made this big 3:42 edifice of the Supreme Court with a big 3:44 columns of the and Moses up at the top 3:47 you know what happened i don't even know 3:48 what that anywhere else but I guess I 3:49 could I would maybe somewhere in boston 3:51 or that one after that was built in the 3:54 1940s by roosevelt the Supreme Court 3:57 played such a small role that when they 4:01 built the capital they looked at each 4:03 other way 4:04 crap we forgot about the third branch 4:06 after that they met until the 1940s in 4:09 the basement of the capital 4:11 ok they were nothing they were just 4:14 there to go yet constitutional not 4:16 constitutional but again the 4:18 progressives made them into this to now 4:20 they're the final word 4:22 well they can't be dictators the 4:25 president can't be 4:26 decatur and neither can Congress which 4:28 is a beautiful 4:29 it's a beautiful system I nobody else 4:31 has it yeah but we're losing it i know 4:34 we are we are we are absolutely loving 4:36 it so okay so let's just talk about one 4:39 of the executive orders the one that 4:40 everyone is going crazy about the 4:42 so-called Muslim and now I did a piece 4:44 of the top of a show today talking about 4:46 this is not a Muslim and because if you 4:49 took the top five most populous Muslim 4:51 countries that out there which is it 4:53 almost 800 million people they're not on 4:56 there including Indonesia and Pakistan 4:58 and Saudi Arabia now you could argue 4:59 that certainly Saudi Arabia should be on 5:01 the list and Pakistan probably to get 5:02 out early for good reason yeah forever 5:04 good for it because there's actually 5:05 everybody that people have you have 5:07 right so okay but putting that aside the 5:11 rhetoric around it the immediate need 5:14 for the hashtag Muslim ban oh my gosh 5:16 uber crying talking about a Muslim and 5:19 now we can look we've already agreed we 5:21 don't like everything being done be 5:22 executive action but what do you think 5:26 about just the inability for us to tell 5:28 the truth in what's happening that okay 5:31 this may be misguided but it is not 5:32 about land yeah this this is me hope 5:36 that America has a chance 5:39 sitting down with a guy who used to say 5:41 he was a progressive and have you say 5:45 that is so powerful so powerful 5:50 the problem is twofold first thank you 5:56 for being honest 5:57 thank you for having intellectual 5:59 courage to say that honey I don't people 6:03 always ready for you to be so rare 6:05 something like I'm not I didn't pick a 6:07 team i didn't pick you know what i mean 6:09 like i said i would say what I believe 6:11 before anything but every now i'm sure 6:12 i'll be wrong about things but right but 6:15 I'm a human 6:16 it's but it will come with great cost 6:19 it always does read i'll tell you after 6:22 the show that read a book called the 6:23 pendulum you'll understand what time 6:26 period wherein it repeats itself every 6:28 80 years all the way back to the 6:31 beginning of time and it's a fascinating 6:33 study on who we are and where we are and 6:36 why voices like yours 6:38 a rare and what usually happens to 6:41 people like you don't need to retire 6:43 early no I'm telling you to stand strong 6:45 but it'll have a happy ending the next 6:48 generation 6:49 oh you can see that but I've got a house 6:53 that I don't like what are you doing 6:57 so where were we talking about again 6:59 where did we go there we got a 7:04 government small-government oh man oh 7:08 yeah don't say it's a rare moment thank 7:10 you i don't get that 1i don't be scared 7:12 the hell out of that so two things 7:14 happen 7:15 first of all when I heard the reporting 7:18 on it I was like horrible horrible 7:23 yeah he makes the Muslim and I thought 7:25 we weren't supposed to take him 7:26 literally yeah you met the Muslim man 7:28 then i go i read the Muslim man it's a 7:32 pause ok so where did the Muslim and 7:37 come from well partially him because he 7:41 signing it 7:42 he's talking about banning Muslims what 7:44 the hell you doing what are you doing 7:47 I think he's either just so sloppy with 7:51 his language which is really easy to do 7:53 or he's sending a message to those 7:56 people that did both forms like I want 7:58 you to ban all those Muslims I don't 8:01 know I don't know how big of a number 8:02 that is so he started calling it a band 8:06 the press started calling in a band so 8:09 there's there's two sides one he made 8:13 the mistake of saying that if you want 8:15 to be president the united states you 8:18 have to be careful with your language I 8:21 was sitting in with George W Bush 8:22 because I really disagreed with the way 8:25 the war was being fought and he called 8:28 me into the Oval Office and read me the 8:31 riot act and he sat down we set of those 8:35 two chairs by the fireplace for now and 8:37 he sat down and he said you know a lot 8:42 of people think they know what it's like 8:43 to be the president united states but 8:45 they have no idea what it's like to be 8:47 the president of like this is going to 8:48 be the longest hour of my wow ok never 8:51 heard him swear 8:52 never saw me angry yeah he was pissed he 8:55 said let me tell you something and he 8:58 started in on five o'clock in the 9:01 morning he took phone calls he told me 9:03 the names of the people that had died 9:04 where they died what they were fighting 9:07 for what their parents said when he 9:09 called them at seven that morning and 9:11 then he told me about how the war was 9:14 going and I said he was passionate he 9:18 wasn't the LSU know a shoe 9:23 yeah me was that guy yeah and I said no 9:28 offense mr. president but this is the 9:31 guy that should be talking to the 9:33 American people 9:34 where is all this he said when you're 9:38 president just shifting your eyes is 9:42 being watched by the Chinese by your 9:45 enemies by your friends when you say 9:47 something and if you just shift your 9:49 eyes there's somebody in the world going 9:52 what does that mean yeah he said you 9:54 have to watch every single word you say 9:56 Donald Trump need to learn that lesson 9:58 the same thing needs to be understood by 10:02 the by the media they're not 10:05 intellectually honest they're not 10:06 intellectually curious very few of them 10:08 they also are sending a message to the 10:13 entire world America hate Muslims now 10:18 America has gone insane 10:21 America is not trustworthy they're both 10:24 at fault they're both at fault 10:27 so do we now have the perfect storm we 10:29 have a guy that they've painted as 10:31 Hitler vs a media that we know will not 10:34 act honestly there are some actors 10:36 within that that will act honestly but 10:38 we have a perfect storm where no matter 10:40 what he does 10:41 they're gonna go nuts and no matter what 10:43 they do he's gonna hate them so like 10:45 we've created now a situation where it 10:47 gets to what I first wanted to start 10:49 with 10:49 have you ever seen a period of time in 10:51 your life where everyone seems like 10:53 they're going nuts at the same time 10:55 because that's what it seems like 10:56 everyone that I'm talking and everyone 10:58 saying people start to say to each other 10:59 like everyone's going crazy i was going 11:01 crazy I mean they're really seen 11:03 to be like I think you're talking about 11:05 the 80-year thing that there's like this 11:07 sort of were pulling the string on the 11:09 fabric of what you let me give you one 11:12 thing that might not make you feel good 11:13 and then something that will make that 11:15 you're good at one you say about perfect 11:17 storm a reoccurring phrase on my show at 11:21 Fox on the chalkboard was perfect storm 11:23 and it was a president that would would 11:28 happily the Kree things through 11:30 executive order a press that was 11:34 completely either in the pocket or 11:37 untrustworthy and a people that were 11:40 angry and one more element economic 11:43 collapse if you put economic real 11:47 economic depression like hardships there 11:50 you know 11:50 look out it's got its gonna fall apart 11:53 and it's gonna get nasty ugly now let me 11:57 give you the part that will make you 11:59 feel good i don't know why but I have I 12:11 feel a tremendous pole or calling to 12:16 stand for people who are being 12:21 persecuted one way or another and and it 12:26 it 12:29 I don't know how that plays out but it's 12:32 why i have said that's why I stood with 12:35 bill maher two weeks after nine eleven 12:38 he doesn't know this here I'm talk radio 12:41 right after nine eleven not popular to 12:45 stand with the guy says you know what 12:46 their bravery that our soldiers were not 12:48 popular and he basically got fired right 12:50 and i said with him saying maybe see 12:54 what part of what part of the name 12:56 politically incorrect don't you 12:58 understand who he has a right to say 13:01 this so i try to stand with the people 13:08 who are standing on principle and even 13:11 if I did screw but this is 13:14 manifested itself with me about five 13:17 years ago I took my children to 13:20 Auschwitz and I wanted my family to 13:24 decide who we would be before any 13:27 trouble would come and I said someday I 13:30 hope not but history seems to repeat 13:32 itself and I feel like we're headed 13:35 towards this where it's only heroes or 13:37 villains and depending on whose side 13:39 wins they're going to be villains and 13:42 they could be the Japanese that could be 13:44 the the Germans they could be the Jews 13:46 they could be us don't know but who are 13:50 we going to be at that time we went 13:52 through schwartz which was of an amazing 13:56 experience and then I found a woman who 14:02 was one of the Righteous among the 14:03 Nations she was one who saved about a 14:05 hundred Jews to 16 at the time when she 14:08 did it and her story is phenomenal but 14:13 the last thing I after was my kids and 14:17 everybody had left and i said to her I'm 14:23 on television and radio and i believe 14:26 these times are coming again I believe 14:29 everybody has the seed of righteousness 14:31 in US but it has to be watered so I 14:36 asked her how can I water that tree of 14:39 righteousness how can I water it in 14:41 people to make it grow 14:42 she said something that I thought was 14:44 profound then but as we are entering 14:46 these times how you just described it 14:48 makes more sense than ever she said clay 14:51 you have to remember you're looking at 14:54 it from your time not our time not the 14:58 time when I was doing it she said the 15:01 righteous didn't suddenly become 15:03 righteous they were superheroes they 15:06 just refused to go over the cliff with 15:09 everyone else so you don't we're in that 15:13 time where everybody's like oh my gosh 15:16 the world is going insane yes they're 15:19 going over the cliff of infinity it's 15:22 critical that you say stop 15:26 I'm not going there I won't go 15:27 with you no matter how much you push how 15:30 much shove no matter how much anger you 15:31 want to stir up in me I won't go over 15:34 the cliff with you you're going to end 15:37 up being one of the righteous remembered 15:39 as one of the righteous because you just 15:42 stood in place and everybody else went 15:45 nuts

The 'Other Ban' That was Quietly Announced Last Week

Most of the world is in an uproar right now over the travel ban that Donald Trump hastily imposed late last week on citizens of seven predominantly Muslim countries. But there was another ban that was quietly proposed last week, and this one has far wider implications: a ban on cash. The European Union’s primary executive authority, known as the European Commission, issued a “Road Map” last week to initiate continent-wide legislation against cash. There are already a number of anti-cash legislative measures that have been passed in individual European member states. In France, for example, it’s illegal to make purchases of more than 1,000 euros in cash. And any cash deposit or withdrawal to/from a French bank account exceeding 10,000 euros within a single month must be reported to the authorities. Italy banned cash payments above 1,000 euros back in 2011; Spain has banned cash payments in excess of 2,500 euros. And the European Central Bank announced last year that it would stop production of 500-euro notes, which will eventually phase them out altogether.

just wanted to talk a little 0:04 bit about the details of another band 0:07 that was proposed and thrown out there 0:08 quietly announced during all the 0:11 inauguration hustle and bustle that was 0:15 going down and with a lot of eyes and 0:17 attention on that this affects us in the 0:22 end even though it is a move being made 0:24 by the european union and this comes on 0:27 the heels of Iran just countering saying 0:30 that they will ditch the US dollar for 0:34 global deals which some say is worse 0:38 than going down to a battle front 0:40 because of what it can cause it was the 0:44 threat of ditching the dollar we've 0:46 heard this so many times before this 0:50 petro dollar and then Saudi Arabia 0:53 making all the money that they've made 0:55 off of being the Barons of all that for 0:58 all this time when it comes to money and 1:03 it comes to tracking people there seems 1:05 to be a bit of difficulty in doing so 1:09 they can this money laundering and this 1:11 tracking of marking bills and all this 1:12 other stuff but it's not as easy 1:15 tracking someone and what they're doing 1:18 with cash it is tracking someone's 1:23 credit card history that an agent can go 1:26 right online and try to look up in the 1:27 database and pull anything they can pull 1:31 it pull up were you checked into a store 1:34 didn't even have the body thing facebook 1:36 could have picked it up and you didn't 1:37 even know and check you in or pinned you 1:39 and show you google could have done in 1:40 log you and you don't even know about it 1:42 has shown those videos are not going to 1:45 remove that information it's vital that 1:47 people do and to shut it off but with 1:51 tracking individuals cash you know 1:54 doesn't leave that exact in print and 1:57 they try to state basically going to try 2:01 to wait it out in some of these 2:02 countries and also that they're going to 2:06 put this ban on cash in the motion 2:10 throughout the European member states 2:11 they're looking to try 2:13 implement the starting next year and 2:15 they cite things like this in France for 2:18 example it is illegal to make purchases 2:21 of more than 1,000 euros and cash if you 2:25 guys know that's illegal to do that any 2:29 cash deposits withdrawn to from a French 2:32 bank account exceeding ten thousand 2:35 euros within a single month must be 2:38 reported to authorities Italy band cash 2:43 payments above 1000 euros back in 2011 2:46 and Spain it's banned cash payment in 2:48 excess of twenty five hundred euros in 2:53 the european central bank announced last 2:55 year that it would stop the production 2:57 of 500 euro notes which will eventually 3:01 be phased out altogether now here in 3:07 America when it comes to using cash what 3:10 people spend to buy groceries cash is 3:14 used in sixty-two percent even large 3:18 purchases over a thousand dollars lots 3:23 of those are still made in cash 3:25 all types of different things paid for 3:29 in cash here in this country that they 3:31 slightly talk about here and they're 3:35 trying to make it seem like if you use 3:36 canned we've talked about this before in 3:38 this country that if you're using cash 3:42 to buy whatever they consider to be 3:44 prepping supplies you could be deemed a 3:45 threat now in terms of using nothing but 3:52 cash a recent gallup poll showed last 3:54 year that a healthy twenty-four percent 3:56 of americans still use all cash to make 3:59 their purchases on everything still 4:00 using credit cards PayPal you can see 4:03 here are fifty two percent growth 4:04 groceries sixty-two percent of purchases 4:08 made up to ten dollars are made in cash 4:09 but an even higher rate over one hundred 4:13 dollars one and five purchases are still 4:16 made using physical cash so they're 4:21 trying to make it seem any of the 4:22 countries that only drug dealers and 4:24 warlords and people mock-up laundering 4:27 money and all this other stuff are the 4:29 ones using cash you see people you 4:34 you've got learn from what's happening 4:36 across the globe what they're doing to 4:39 the countries of Europe invading them 4:42 with the stage migrant invasion causing 4:46 chaos taking away from the people 4:52 constantly and this is going to be 4:54 another form to track anyone in Europe 4:57 and it's going to affect the flow of the 4:59 dollar you can guarantee that in one way 5:01 or another so you know s4 with this is 5:08 going to be rolled out i'm not sure 5:10 exactly but it's been proposed an ounce 5:12 and a lot of this tall came out during 5:14 the inauguration lot of people missed it 5:16 and I just wanted to recover and get out 5:19 there and let people know also that 5:23 others emailing me in regards to bend 5:25 swan disappearing after talking about 5:27 pizza gate and social media well then 5:30 spotted in swansea guy that I know it 5:32 met personally he's to work right out of 5:34 Cincinnati up here in my own backyard 5:36 think he's out of atlanta now but that's 5:39 what happens when you speak truth they 5:41 try to silence you they will boot you 5:44 off air and he shut down Twitter account 5:48 beginning today trace a lot of questions 5:50 but he said he was going to do this 5:52 he's making moves that he's making that 5:55 I guess he feels meet need to happen 5:58 anything trust me on it and all you can 6:01 do is going to take his word for it at 6:02 the moment because I don't see any other 6:04 mainstream media pundits out here 6:05 talking a damn word about PETA gate or 6:07 anything about it and not just those not 6:15 just the stuff on the outside i'm 6:17 talking she's asking why Podesta had 6:21 relations with known sex offenders valid 6:24 questions not diving into talking about 6:28 a call their satanic stuff for 6:31 are raising children inside of the pizza 6:33 shop or anything like that she's asking 6:35 the simple upfront questions of why did 6:37 the dust to have good relations with a 6:41 convicted child molester which is a very 6:44 righteous question to ask and what was 6:47 the answer will then you're getting 6:49 silenced that was the answer and it's 6:52 what happens all too often out here when 6:53 people speak the truth so let it be seen 6:56 metal he's going through its what i know 6:58 about it and update their i will 7:01 continue to update with more information 7:02 as I come across it and use discernment 7:06 folks things could change any given 7:09 moment

Iran to Dump U.S. Dollar! THESE 2 Countries Tried This Before and U.S. Destroyed Them!

bombshell news the Central Bank of Iran is announcing that they will be dumping the US dollar in all foreign exchange if they proceed with the fact it will hit a major blow to the US has yet another country engaging in trade without the reserve currency they wouldn't be the first country to suggest using a different currency other than the US dollar Iraq and Libya also had this idea though their fate seemed quickly take a turn for the worse immediately afterward coincidence you came here for the truth so let me unveil that for you let's get into this news today about Iran suggesting they would dump the US dollar let's get right into it around to dump the US dollar in response to trump travel then I do believe that this isn't exactly true but the announcement comes right after they have already been so the trying to clean themselves off the US dollar more so than a country like China which is definitely more heavily invested in the US but we have seen Iran over the last few years anyway start to do trade with other countries not using the US dollar but things are still priced in that so it's important to note that when you decide to go away from the reserve currency obviously reserve currencies being very important then you decide to basically hit a big blow on that country Tehran plans to ditch the use of the american currency in financial reporting after the US President Donald Trump issued a travel ban on something countries including Iran according to press tv the Central Bank of Iran is seeking to replace the dollar with a new common foreign currency or use a basket of currencies and all official financial important exchange reports so they are suggesting using perhaps as this know there's been talk anyway maybe we're going to use the euro or maybe it's going to be a basket of currencies and you could have on through the euro being part of that basket and they're just suggesting going their own way to don't want to deal with the US dollar and at some point they need to pull the trigger this will take effect March 21st that's the new year over there so there's adjusting going ahead as planned on that day we'll see if that actually happens but it is very very important after Trump election the Iranian rial phone record lows against you test dollar on the 727 it's lunch to its all-time low of 41,000 to the dollar alright important to note here the head of the central banks of the US did not have a significant role in Iranian trade and could be replaced with currencies of Iran's key partners like the European Union China and China and the United Arab Emirates they've already at the bottom of the future they've already have agreements with Russia Turkey Azerbaijan and Iraq to use national currencies in the local trade as I said they've already made many steps towards doing themselves away with the US dollar it's important to note this because when you see countries exchanging into the reserve currency that currency automatically becomes strong it keeps that strong all that have and this has been going on obviously for decades and decades the petrodollars obviously very very important and whenever a country suggest going another route it is number one ridiculed it is you know pushed aside but if it act really goes ahead and doesn't begins making those proceedings to do so to fully get away then it's a big trouble has happened as i said twice before look at us Iraq net handsome profits by dumping the dollar for the euro now this right here is the money gps investigation that you don't get other places you hear a lot of talking about opinion but here it is very simply the historical analysis this was februari 2003 a bizarre political statement by Saddam Hussein who by the way spoke fluent English just thought I was like you know has earned Iraq a windfall of hundreds of millions of euros in october two thousand Iraq insisted on the US dollar the currency of the enemy for the more multilateral euro and the patient goes on to say how they've done well since dumping it ok fine a thirty percent increase in the euro by the way that they got in a short period of time a few years thirty percent increase that is very significant alright remember that date 15 februari 2003 what else happened in 2003 one can't help but remember this day march 19 2003 the war in iraq begins one month later one month later that they've posted their profits saying we're doing so well since dumping this euro and what are they get out of it an invasion and saddam hussein was overthrown the country completely obliterating worse than what it was prior even know just prior to this invasion I mean it wasn't long before that when the u.s. any rock or partners doing deals together working together against Iran then we move into this out of all those Hillary Clinton emails one thing was found to be interesting this is part of that i'm not going to get into the whole thing subject line Francis client and Gaddafi's gold interesting what's this all about well down at the bottom the gold that they were referring to here was accumulated prior to the current rebellion and it was intended to be used check this out to establish a pen African currency based on the Libyan Boldin dinar imagine that gold back currency to do away with the US dollar it would have support from other countries in africa and it was meant to basically build Africa up and actually have some strength get the investment get some stability that's what they needed and there he was making strong strong head winds trying to build up Libya trying to build up Africa try to create all sorts of alliances globally and you want to do so without the US dollar he's overthrown the country complete bedroom that's number two look at this now not a complete doing away with the US dollar but look at this list considerable amount of countries who will have gone and done away with in limited terms i should say done away with the US dollar in order to have these currency swap agreements between the different countries all over the world i mean it's just geographically completely mixed around South Korea Hong Kong you get turkey Australia Canada and other countries ok every country seems to be doing this one of the things I said early on about these currency swaps is that they would be you know redone at some point reinstated and re-established and it would continue it would have a limited agreement okay over the next let's just say over the next year we will do a currency swap of a hundred billion dollars okay so that year and then by the end of that year they create a new agreement i said that would happen and it's very clear doesn't get no crystal ball or anything to figure that out they want these things to continue it is a slow erosion of the US dollar yes you see the US dollar's value going up but what against what against other currencies they're not being rated against it actual value against real Goods we've seen it against real good been declining year-over-year over here that's what I say about that over time you can see that countries are trying to figure out their way while still supporting the US dollar in one head on the other hand they're basically going out and trying to go shopping for something else you can see that it's not just China doing that and just last but not least this basically the untold story behind Saudi Arabia's 41-year US debt secret Howell engine legendary bond trader from Salomon Brothers brokered a Dewar's ideal that reshape the us-saudi relations for generations out of bloomberg article here I read all about this before in a few of my books that I've read talking about the petrodollar ok it's important to note you need to understand that is long the Saudi Arabia continues to do trade do their sell their oil in the US dollars the US military will protect Saudi Arabia ok the partnership it's been going on for decades there might be some problems here in there between the relations between the two but it sounds this is stability here this needs to continue what if it doesn't get that you want the US dollars dead plain and simple if you found this video informative please give me a thumbs up last but not least if you found the video informative i know you will find my book that money gps even more informative so taking this complicated subject finance made it very simple as I've done so using diagrams that have drawn up as well as charts and you can check it out at Amazon because they have a look inside feature that will allow you to flip through the pages of the book and see if you like it picker now if you're still hanging in there i want to show you this this is the new book i have in my hands copy of the new book approved copy i'm just going to quickly review it and it will be able to go up on amazon very soon assure you is very very soon the copies here this is the cover of the book i want to know your

Catherine Austin Fitts - Brilliant Explanation Of What Trump…And We…Are Now Facing

Jeff Rense & Catherine Austin Fitts - Brilliant Explanation Of What Trump…And We…Are Now Facing
Clip from January 31, 2017 - guest Catherine Austin Fitts on the Jeff Rense Program.






Catherine is president of Solari, Inc. and the managing member of Solari Investment Advisory Services, LLC. She previously served as managing director and member of the board of directors of the Wall Street investment bank Dillon, Read & Co., Inc. She also served as Assistant Secretary of Housing/Federal Housing Commissioner at HUD in the first Bush Administration, and was the president and founder of The Hamilton Securities Group, Inc., a broker-dealer/investment bank and software developer. Catherine has a BA from the University of Pennsylvania, an MBA from the Wharton School, and studied Chinese at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

Investment advisor Catherine Austin Fitts says, “We are so overdue for a 25% correction. . . . I think 2017 is going to be a composting. In the destruction of the old, let there be the creation of the new. We’re going to be creating the new, and we’re going to be destroying the old. It’s going to be quirky. There are going to be all kinds of black swans that could hit us. So, do I think we are going to have a major correction and lots of digestive problems? Yes, I do. Now, if the new administration gets what it wants by getting tax rates down and bringing capital back into the country, then there is going to be a very exciting future and a very exciting pathway for North America.” On gold and silver, Fitts contends, “I think we are in a long-term bull market for gold, but I don’t think the consolidation is over. I was hoping the consolidation was over given how it was trading in the first three quarters, but given how it is trading now, it looks like the consolidation may not be over. The reality is gold is a number of things. In Asia, it’s real money. I think as long as Asia is converging with per capita income, gold is going to have a floor under it, and silver too.

Notorious Blackwater founder; I can solve Migrant Crisis Quickly! The Trump Effect!

 Erik Prince is the man in the video. I do not like him, he is ruthless. However, is what he says the truth, you be the judge!

I believe the Trump Effect is getting ready to happen all over this World. People will have the cuffs removed and be able to speak freely. You can thank your Creator for this. I do not care if you do not believe. We are at war, two families locked in an eternal fight.

People, the tide may be slowly turning. Europe will see more and more people speaking out and taking action. The United States is the Country that can help free many of its allies from the bondage of Islam. We shall see. The interview ends abruptly; however, his last statement is how it should have ended.

Make no mistakes, I'm not saying this war is over, I'm saying WE will finally have a level playing field if you know what I mean.

The Illustrated Protocols of Zion by David Duke

A PhD, Dr. David Duke served in the House of Representatives-LA (1989-1993) and has lectured in over 200 universities around the world.

This is a video preview of Dr. David Duke's new book, The Illustrated Protocols of Zion is an historical and literary valuation of the original Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion.

He presents the case that Protocols of Zion could well be titled the Protocols of "Zionism" in that it predicts many of the horrific wars and conflicts right down to the issues in the Israel or "Zion" of today and associated with Zionist power and influence that goes far beyond the borders of Israel.

In this video and and his book upon which it is based, he shows that many of the most radical claims of the Protocols are today proclaimed by Zionists themselves around the world. such as domination of media, banking, and extensive power and influence in America, the EU and in many governments around the world.

He quotes leading and influential Zionists and Zionist media in showing that many of the most important underlying themes can be be documented in historical and contemporary terms.

Dr. Duke points out its true history. He argues that the Protocols is obviously not the secret meeting of earlocked "Elders of Zion" anymore than 1984 is a true account of Big Brother or Oceania.

He examines it as dystopian literature that is amazingly prescient and predictive since its publishing well over a century ago.

This video and the powerful underlying book The Illustrated Protocols of Zion are essential materials to understanding the Zionist issue from all perspectives.

A Phd in History, Dr. Duke shows how vital assertions of the Protocols can be historically and contemporaneously documented and that many of the most shocking claims of the Protocols can be found in even more extreme expression by modern Zionism.

Nibiru 2017 Update

 The Archive’s Nibiru 2017 Update is an urgent message! It is calling BS when and where it needs to be called. The Ancient Astronaut Hypothesis, Anunnaki and Sumerians have long been used by fearmongers to blatantly take advantage of an impending fictional apocalypse. This Apocalypse Syndrome, as the Archive calls it, mostly includes less than credible folks who are utilizing potential extinction level events like a Nibiru collision as click bait. Enki, Enlil, and even Sitchin would be terribly troubled.

Donald Trump's 'Muslim Ban' What You're Not Being Told

The mainstream narrative on Trump's immigration ban is intentionally avoiding the core issue.

First of all , It's not a Muslim ban, it's a ban on 7 countries until a vetting process can be established. The policy doesn't say anything about not letting any Muslims in right? so why do people keep calling it a Muslim band? it does not mention anybody's religion at all.

Welcome to TrumpLand -- Max Igan

Trump is using Muslims and Mexicans as boogey men, but he's not saying anything about the Saudis or Zionists, makes me wonder







Trump's recent ban on Muslim entry to America tells me he has woken up to the fact that no-one in their right mind would want to enter America for it is nothing more than a militarist junta banana republic and a colonial possession of Israel. Trump is a Jew disguised as a human being so be on guard for the upcoming false flag that could make the Jew engineered 911 look like a summer afternoon barbecue.

Universal Law/sovereign law trumps all others.

1. No man or woman, in or out of government shall initiate force, threat of force or fraud against my life and property and, any and all contracts Im a party to not giving full disclosure to me whether signed by me or not are void at my discretion.

2. I may use force in self-defense against anyone that violates Law

3. There shall be no exceptions to Law 1 and 2.


When the tyrant has disposed of foreign enemies by conquest or treaty and there is nothing to fear from them, then he is always stirring up some war or other, in order that the people may require a leader. - Plato

Who Are The Controllers

 Event Is Coming Soon - Who Are The Controllers

In the West, we’ve all been spoon fed the idea that we are free citizens of sovereign countries, where our democratically elected governments rule according to the peoples’ wishes. If that’s not achieved, it’s usually explained as being due to misfortunes such as crises, security threats or wars, or the stupidity of our governments. The few people that doubt these explanations, or even suspect hidden hands behind the occurrences of our time or the official narrative of our history, are easily dismissed as conspiracy nuts.

Our Rulers in Ancient Times

For sure, there were no hidden hands when humanity was in its “pre-history,” predating our “real history” as seen by most. For about 200,000 years our ancestors lived in small nomadic communities, sharing the food obtained by hunting and gathering. Problems, plans and rules were settled in probably long discussions, where the opinions were usually harmonised until a consensus was reached. Our pre-historic world was ruled by highly sovereign people.

11 Strange Discoveries in Antarctica

 From Fantastic Fossil Finds in ancient ice, to Sea Spiders from your Nightmares; These are 11 Strange Discoveries in Antarctica!










 
4.
Sea Spiders
Sea spiders can be found all over the world. They’re actually marine arthropods, and can normally range in size from 1 millimeter to around 25 centimeters. But in Antarctica, it’s another story. Sea spiders can grow to massive sizes, with leg spans up to 90 centimeters! With 8 long legs and a proboscis (pruh-BOSS-is) to match, the creatures grow larger in this region than anywhere else in the world. They represent a phenomenon called ‘Polar Gigantism’ (jie-GAN-tism). That condition is also found in other animals such as certain mollusks, which are known to grow larger at the North and South Poles. Scientists still aren’t sure how to explain the phenomenon. One hypothesis holds that the creature's greater size is connected to a higher concentration of oxygen in cold waters … and there is a higher content of oxygen found in seawater off the Antarctic coast. So that, combined with slower metabolisms due to colder temperatures … could lead to the creatures having larger bodies.

3.
Striped Icebergs
It may look like the result of Photoshopping, but these icebergs are real … and they’re found not only in Antarctica, but north to the Arctic Circle as well. The stripes found in the icebergs can range in color from blue, black, and even green! The bizarre patterns are the result of frozen melt water that combines with sediment, algae, and immense pressurization. When gaps in the icebergs are filled with meltwater and freezes, the blue striping occurs. Darker markings occur from sediment collected during the iceberg’s development, or still connected to a glacier by an ice shelf. When algae found in seawater freezes to the bottom of the icebergs, green veins are the result. As you can see, the effects can appear as if someone spilled green paint down the iceberg’s slope.




2.
Deep Impact
Until recently, scientists were baffled by a huge impact crater located in Antarctica … one that measured an incredible 2 kilometers (1.24m) wide! The mysterious ring-like anomaly was observed by researchers during a routine survey flight over East Antarctica … It was described as a type of circular scarring in the ice sheet, which surrounded what appeared to be broken icebergs and additional scarring in the ice. What could have produced such a strange structure in the normally flat and featureless ice-scape? The formation was the result of a meteorite, one that measured an estimated 7 to 10 meters wide … and would have exploded in the skies above Antarctica with a force equal to 12,000 tons of dynamite! Experts believe the meteorite would have arrived in 2004 … That’s based upon findings from two separate studies. One study cited a dust trail observed in the atmosphere around September of 2004 … The other offered evidence of low frequency sounds detected by six global infrasound detectors. The low frequency sounds of the exploding meteorite were picked up in September of 2004 as well. That information allowed experts to pinpoint where the meteor fell …and it matched the location of the enormous crater discovered at the King Baudoin (baw-doo-in) Ice Shelf.

Blood Falls
We earlier showed you some icebergs with some bizarre striping … now here’s a location in East Antarctica that looks as if it could be murder scene! The gory looking location is named, appropriately enough, ‘Blood Falls’. The unsettling color isn’t the result of foul play. The coloration is partially the result of a brine liquid discharge that flows from Taylor Glacier. The discharge is rich in iron oxides … which helps to result in a reddish hue. But researchers have also discovered that the brine is part of a saltwater aquifer network that extends over 1100 feet below the ice. The network of salty lakes is thought to contain microbial life, which alters the brine’s iron and sulphur compounds as part of its survival. When the liquid oxidizes at the surface, the bloody coloration results. Experts say the network of of saltwater lakes is located underneath the McMurdo Dry Valleys … Did you know that is considered to be among the coldest and driest deserts in the world?

The Ugly Truth About Hollywood

 I watch Hollywood awards ceremonies where a supposed artist screams out for punching people in the face for political disagreements, and the entire horde of Botoxed brain zombies leaps to their feet in an ungodly and unholy howl of rampant bloodlust approval.

There is a storm coming, it is being summoned by the words of the vicious and ignorant, of the hateful and horrifying – it is a time-storm, it will throw us back through history – and that is if we are lucky. If we are unlucky, it will throw us back through history to prehistory, perhaps even to the history before we were here as a species.

This is the storm.
