Ted Anderson is back on the show to talk about the gold and silver price surge and what it means for the economy and the future of the dollar. The Fed is going to continue to pump more money and more into the economy, and it's time to get out of the paper money and into gold and precious metals!
00:00:40.000Let me just have you back on for the whole third hour, if you can do it, to actually get into monetary issues and not just sit here and pitch gold and silver.
00:00:49.000And again, we pitch things we believe in, which then funds our operation.
00:00:53.000But that's why I get so excited about all this, because I believe in it.
00:00:59.000Ted, you've been so busy, I asked what you thought the best of the radio specials were, and you were gonna call me back, I was gonna get a few gold coins and some silver, and Ted, you didn't call me back, so I need to call one of your brokers, don't I?
00:01:11.000But I can tell you right now, watching the charts yesterday, silver and gold both, it just, it was just coming along and going and then all of a sudden a spike upward.
00:01:22.000I mean, to have a $46 increase in gold in one day and about $4.60 in silver in one day, are you kidding me?
00:01:30.000And that's just quantitative easing, that's just the news breaking.
00:01:34.000The FOMC Open Market Committee comes out and they decide that they're going to Get into this quantitative easing.
00:01:40.000But like you say, it's not called QE3.
00:01:42.000The reason why that is is because QE2 had an end date to it and a goal.
00:01:47.000And this is how much we're going to do.
00:01:48.000This is open-ended quantitative easing.
00:01:50.000They said that we're going to continue to print more money and to get the printing presses rolling until they see the economic results that they're looking for.
00:01:58.000And basically it's just an open-ended thing.
00:02:01.000Well, we're heading off of a cliff, Alex.
00:02:03.000And if people aren't smart enough to get out of paper, I mean, I don't care.
00:02:51.000The one thing that Bernanke has not achieved that frustrates him, I can tell, is he gets no economic growth.
00:02:57.000He doesn't do anything with the unemployment numbers.
00:03:00.000And from my viewpoint, I think the country should have panicked over the fact of what the Fed is saying, that we've lost control.
00:03:07.000The only thing we have left is massively creating new money out of thin air, which hasn't worked before and it's not going to work this time.
00:03:27.000Intellectually, this has been like a bomb being dropped on us, and I'm so angry that I even sarcastically made fun of the fake UT bomb threat for the first 45 minutes of the show, instead of really talking about the full magnitude of this unlimited QE.
00:03:46.000But as Ron Paul just said, this means that this is all they've got, and they're going to use it to transfer wealth.
00:03:53.000You know, Ron Paul says they're trying to fix it.
00:03:56.000Look, the globalists admit they've engineered this, so it's time to stop saying they don't know what they're doing.
00:04:20.000I know, you've been talking about that, and I've alluded to that as well.
00:04:24.000The very system that's set up creates debt, you know, money from debt is going to just mean more debt as the economy grows, we're going to get further into the hole.
00:04:57.000When it got up to $40, $45, $50 an ounce, I didn't sell any of it.
00:05:02.000When it went down, I didn't sell it because I understand what's happening.
00:05:05.000The worst drought in 50 years continues, And the first six months of 2012 marks the hottest half year on record, 78%.
00:05:13.00078% of the Midwest corn belt is in drought conditions.
00:05:16.000Not only corn, but soy, alfalfa, fruits, vegetables, and wheat are all impacted, raising prices.
00:05:21.000The cost to feed livestock is forcing farmers and ranchers out of business, blowing up your food prices.
00:05:26.000The only strategy to counter this is to freeze your food cost at today's prices by getting your own supply of foods or meat foods direct now.
00:05:33.000As the price of raw ingredients increases, eFoods will have to raise prices, too.

00:08:53.000Well, I tell ya, we are really excited to have this fellow on because last year or so, he has exploded on the scene with Fox 19 television.
00:09:05.000And he's also worked at other TV stations around the country, and he just absolutely knocks it out of the park on pro-Second Amendment stuff, on covering how Ron Paul and the Liberty Movement were shafted by the Republican establishment.
00:09:19.000He got an interview with President Obama last week, that we're going to play a clip of later, where he really nails him down on the NDAA and secret arrests of American citizens.
00:09:29.000By the way, a federal court Two days ago, did a permanent injunction.
00:09:34.000Of course we had Chris Hedges on, the Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, who was part of that suit.
00:09:38.000Now Obama is appealing to the Supreme Court.
00:09:41.000He also has looked at some of the anomalies of the shootings there in Colorado.
00:09:50.000So basically, he's like a professional focused, you know, kind of news style Alex Jones, which I love.
00:09:59.000We need more people that have courage.
00:10:02.000And I think this guy's going places, let me tell you, because he's got it all.
00:10:06.000And it is so exciting to see reporters like this.
00:10:10.000Now I'll say this, I remember Bill O'Reilly on Fox Television 13 years ago interviewing people Like Tony Brown about the Illuminati and the New World Order, and I saw him on Extra, was it hard copy?
00:10:23.00020-something years ago, we have the tape, we played it, exposing how the government and E. Howard Hunt basically killed JFK.
00:10:32.000So I hope that Ben Swan, if he ends up on national television, doesn't turn over to the dark side like Bill O'Reilly.
00:10:40.000But I gotta tell you, it's just great to have him on, and I know there's other people out there.
00:10:45.000In fact, if you're a radio listener, if you could see him, we bring him up on Skype, you know who I'm talking about.
00:10:49.000But in a few minutes, we'll play some clips and you'll know who we're talking about.
00:10:54.000But Ben, it is great to have you on with us here today.
00:11:38.000They're hungry for someone who will look beyond, you know, the typical mainstream narrative.
00:11:43.000And obviously, I mean, this is no surprise to you because clearly, you know, the issue with alternative media is it is growing so fast right now versus what's happening with national media or mainstream media, which is essentially dying right now.
00:12:28.000And again, mainstream media would still be dominant if people like you were on the national scene.
00:12:35.000How long have you been there in Cincinnati?
00:12:37.000For about a year and a half, just a little over a year and a half.
00:12:40.000And about two to three months after I came to this station, we had this idea that we were going to try something different because it was time to kind of rebrand ourselves a little bit.
00:12:50.000We moved towards a balanced news brand, which again, sounds very much like the Fox brand.
00:12:55.000And so there are advantages to that, but then there are some disadvantages because there are some people who go into it automatically thinking, well, you're just, you know, little mini Fox News.
00:13:04.000And Part of the goal of that balanced brand was to do this segment called Reality Check, where we look beyond headlines and actually hold politicians accountable.
00:13:13.000I'm not sure my bosses realized how accountable we were going to hold them, but so far they've been extremely supportive of it, and we're doing our best to get out there and get to the facts.
00:14:22.000And as we went down the list and they gave us the call and said, you know, send somebody up and it was us.
00:14:27.000I think one of the advantages that I had was the week before we had done a one-on-one with Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan together.
00:14:35.000And when we sat down with them, you know, we weren't easy on them.
00:14:38.000And one of the questions we asked Romney about was how, you know, his campaign, along with the RNC, had worked to decredential and essentially disenfranchise all of these Republican delegates from the state of Maine.
00:14:50.000And so we were hard on Romney, and I think that they suspected, I don't know this, but I think they suspected we would probably not be as hard on the president, because as you know, Alex, I mean, that's the way media works in this country.
00:15:01.000You either support one side and then attack the other, or vice versa.
00:15:05.000So, you know, they allowed us to come in and do the interview.
00:16:07.000Mr. President, first of all, thank you for taking the time to talk with us.
00:16:10.000When you signed the National Defense Authorization Act into law, you issued a signing statement at that time that said you would not use that power for indefinite detention on Americans.
00:16:18.000You understood the concerns that people had.
00:16:20.000A judge earlier this year issued that the administration couldn't use those powers because it's unconstitutional.
00:16:26.000So why are the government's own lawyers fighting that judge's order, the injunction in particular?
00:16:31.000Well, look, the basic principle here is, number one, my first job is to keep the American people safe.
00:16:36.000Number two, we've got to do it in a way that respects our values and our traditions of rule of law.
00:16:45.000That's why I've argued that we should actually close Guantanamo.
00:16:49.000But I've also said that, you know, we've got some bad guys who are down there who we may not be able to try in a traditional court.
00:16:59.000But I have pledged to try to hurt Americans and so that's something that we inherited that we're dealing with and it's complicated.
00:17:07.000On the other hand what I also said was a US citizen can never be subject to that kind of detention.
00:17:13.000Congress disagreed with me and I didn't want us to not be able to finance our military and pay our soldiers and our troops.
00:17:21.000So I signed the bill but what I also said was look that I'm never going to use this power and You know, what I would suspect is that the courts are going to agree with us over the long term that that is not something that you can use when it comes to U.S.
00:17:37.000Well, let me ask you then also about the so-called presidential kill list that's gotten a lot of attention and this list of folks who have been targeted for assassination.
00:17:58.000And we've got the fact that Obama, it turns out, demanded...
00:18:03.000That it be added to the bill, the indefinite detention of Americans, and he's got his Justice Department fighting to defend the legislation of the NDAA and his signing of it, and then he just sat there, Ben, and told you that, oh, he knew that the courts would overturn it.
00:18:21.000I mean, that makes Bill Clinton look like he's honest.
00:18:26.000Well, you know, look, this story, especially on the kill list, has gotten so much attention nationally and to the point where it was picked up by the Atlantic and Huffington Post and a lot of liberal, even the UK Guardian, liberal publications ran that interview.
00:18:40.000And it was really interesting to me to go through and to read the comment section.
00:18:44.000Not so much what they were writing, but the comment section afterward.
00:18:47.000There were a couple of things that were very interesting there, because I think you alluded to a minute ago, We're not really breaking ground here in terms of those questions.
00:18:53.000And those questions are not conspiratorial.
00:18:57.000They're not, you know, these kind of off-in-the-weeds questions.
00:19:00.000This is stuff that's pretty much out there and it's pretty easy to find.
00:19:05.000The discussion on the NDAA or the kill list or the situation with Awolaki.
00:19:09.000The problem is, I believe the problem really stems from the fact that media won't talk about these things because it does require some real effort to dig into it.
00:19:19.000I got a couple of interviews with reporters who asked me about it.
00:21:04.000What do you do when your propane runs out and you don't have a large amount of wood for cooking?

00:21:49.000Hello, this is Ty Bollinger, author this is Ty Bollinger, author of the best-selling book, Cancer Step Outside the Box.
00:22:10.000I want you to know some very important information.
00:22:13.000In 1985, President Ronald Reagan requested that Carnivora be sent directly to the White House at a time when only the President could obtain this world-class healer.
00:22:22.000Now, 27 years later, carnivore capsules are used around the world to keep people healthy.
00:22:28.000Now you can protect yourself and your loved ones in this age of superbugs with 17 naturally occurring compounds that instinctively respond to abnormal cells only without harming a single normal cell.
00:22:39.000If you want to stay healthy, now's your chance to literally wake up your critical immune cells to attack harmful invaders that don't belong in your body.
00:22:47.000Call 1-866-VENUSFLY or order from carnivora.com.
00:24:43.000And then, yeah, continue on the point you were getting into with Obama saying, well, you know, I knew courts would overthrow it when it turns out he was the one, his White House, demanding that the indefinite detention for citizens be in there.
00:24:59.000And let me just comment on that second part first, because you'll notice in the interview that we did with him, you know, you got five minutes, so there's not a whole lot of time.
00:25:06.000If you want to fight over one subject, you're not going to get much else in there.
00:25:09.000And so what we choose to do, because of the segment we do with Reality Check and the way it's built out, you know, it really is perfect for going in, you ask the question, he gives the answer.
00:25:21.000I ask the question, you give the answer, and we're done.
00:25:24.000What we do is say, okay, I'll ask the question, you give the answer, and then we're going to go back and fact check your answer.
00:25:28.000And if you're wrong, we're going to say you were wrong.
00:25:30.000And if you're not being honest, we're going to say you're not being honest.
00:25:33.000So what we saw in that case is he never directly addresses the second part of my question, which was, why are your own lawyers Fighting that injunction, which, of course, as you just mentioned, that question is now dated because, as of yesterday, they're now fighting the overall striking down of the indefinite detention clause, and they are appealing that ruling.
00:25:54.000So if the president is honest when he says, we always knew it would be struck down, we believe that it would go to the courts, we believe the courts would side with us, show me how that's siding with you if you're the one fighting it.
00:26:05.000Regardless, you know, as you mentioned a minute ago with media, People keep asking, well, how do you know all this stuff?
00:26:35.000I'm a huge fan of theirs because they're so smart and they have so much information and they just constantly are feeding back into me a lot of information and what's going on in the world and did you know this and did you know this and I feel like they've been helping me to gain an education because there's so much stuff out there and they're just not helping to draw it all in.
00:26:54.000Man, I tell ya, it is so refreshing, Ben, to see somebody professionally get up there and I told Chris Hedges this last week, because I'm not liberal or conservative, I'm just about truth and justice and freedom because I love my wife and my children and I want a future.
00:27:12.000It's refreshing to have somebody like Chris Hedges out there fighting the NDAA with his lawsuit and winning.
00:27:19.000And it's refreshing to see somebody like you, well-spoken, focused, handsome, getting the word out and reaching millions from one little TV station.
00:27:29.000Because it gives me hope that there are going to be other people out there that can do a better job than I can.
00:28:05.000And you see everywhere, whether it's a right-wing site or a left-wing site with those bias, the comments more and more aren't left-wing or right-wing.
00:28:13.000They're like, hey, we see through this.
00:28:18.000And what was exciting about, like, for instance, the Huffington Post is a good example.
00:28:21.000On the HuffPo article, if you read the comments, it was so interesting to hear people who are so used to this left-right paradigm that they couldn't even begin to fathom the idea.
00:28:31.000So their first complaint is, well, you're from a Fox station, so what you're asking the president about, you know, this kill list can't possibly be true.
00:28:38.000Secondly, it's the same people in many cases who wanted Bush tried as a war criminal, who want Cheney tried as a war criminal, Who give Obama a pass on his kill list.
00:28:48.000And so it was really interesting, that dynamic was, they were really struggling through it.
00:28:52.000And then of course, you know, I posted it on my social networking pages so that people could see it there, go there and comment.
00:28:59.000And what was exciting to me was, some of our people, and when I say our, I mean, you know, liberty-minded people, start writing on there, and actually were winning some arguments, and I think even winning over some people's minds, saying, look, you have to, Breakthrough and shatter through that paradigm that says it's left versus right, Republican versus Democrat, because it's not.
00:29:19.000That's what the real issue is, and I think people are beginning to see that.
00:29:21.000Wow, we're gonna go to break in a long 18-minute segment coming up.
00:29:25.000I want to get into your favorite reports and what you're working on now, and then open the phones up for your fans all over the United States and worldwide that watch your Reality check is as soon as it comes out.
00:30:06.000Sick of the globalist eugenicist control freaks adding poison to your water and laughing as you get sick and die?
00:30:12.000Start purifying your water with ProPure.
00:30:14.000My friends, I've done a lot of research and the best gravity filter out there bar none is ProPure and it's available discounted at InfoWars.com.
00:30:23.000Its filters are silver impregnated to prevent bacterial growth.
00:31:55.000Remember, in a real crisis, non-hybrid seeds are the ultimate barter item.
00:32:03.000This is Alex Jones for SurvivalSeedBank.com.
00:32:06.000The worst drought in 50 years continues, and the first six months of 2012 marks the hottest half year on record.
00:32:12.00078% of the Midwest corn belt is in drought conditions.
00:32:15.000Not only corn, but soy, alfalfa, fruits, vegetables, and wheat are all impacted, raising prices.
00:32:20.000The cost to feed livestock is forcing farmers and ranchers out of business, blowing up your food prices.
00:32:25.000The only strategy to counter this is to freeze your food cost at today's prices by getting your own supply of foods from eFoods Direct now.
00:32:33.000As the price of raw ingredients increases, eFoods will have to raise prices too.
00:34:20.000My producer was telling me when he asked have you ever heard of the Alex Jones Show that you indeed have heard of the show and do listen sometimes.
00:34:27.000Now, I know as a journalist, I'm more of a journalist slash commentator, you know, rabble rouser.
00:34:32.000I wear a lot of hats around here, but I'm just curious.
00:34:36.000How did you stumble across my broadcast and how did it affect the different perspectives that you're bringing to your own show?
00:34:44.000Well, I would say that I knew of you because I'm from Texas and I always say you're down in Texas.
00:34:48.000So now I'm from further west than you are.
00:34:51.000But I was aware of you and heard your name.
00:34:54.000And then most of it really was very conspiratorial and the guy's a nut job.
00:35:01.000And then once I've gotten more into what we've been covering the last few months, I had a lot of people who have said, you know, Alex Jones has covered a lot of these things.
00:35:09.000And obviously there are people who are weary because, as you said, you're more of a commentator.
00:35:12.000So in your case, certainly it's more of a, there's more opinion infused into it, more perspective infused into it, which is fine.
00:35:20.000I mean, clearly you're doing what you do.
00:35:23.000So I think there's something very important about alternative media, and one of the things that I think is impressive, regardless of how people feel about you one way or the other, because obviously you have many, many fans out there, and you got people who don't feel as strongly about you, or dislike you.
00:35:38.000You know, and that's not necessarily a bad place to be.
00:35:41.000Look, I always tell people, I would rather people love me or hate me, but don't feel nothing about me.
00:35:46.000Because as soon as you're the guy that people feel nothing about, then you're not accomplishing anything.
00:35:50.000You know, at least challenge the narrative and challenge what people are thinking and challenge their minds.
00:35:56.000And so I think you do a great job of that, and I take my hat off to you for that.
00:35:59.000Well I just wanted to get your perspective because I again admire your courage in what you're doing.
00:36:04.000I mean obviously you're a talented guy and I hope that it doesn't count against you with the power structure that you're telling the truth.
00:36:12.000Have you gotten any big national offers yet in the last year and a half that you've been knocking it out of the park?
00:36:18.000In fact, very little talk from anyone higher up, which is fine with me.
00:36:24.000You know, one of the things I don't ever want to do is I never want to look beyond where I'm at right now.
00:36:29.000As I mentioned at the beginning of this, I'm incredibly blessed to be doing what I'm doing and to have the platform that I have.
00:36:35.000And I will say that in the last year and a half, my view of what You know, national media is, has completely changed, and certainly my view of what it means to be a national voice, because we're sitting here in little old Cincinnati, Ohio, and yet we have a global voice right now, and people in 30 different countries are watching what we do, and it's this little five-minute segment, and, you know, we do it three times a week.
00:36:58.000Yeah, if I was Glenn Beck launching his new TV network back on television, I would hire somebody like you.
00:37:06.000I think that'd probably be a perfect fit.
00:37:07.000I mean, Glenn Beck actually is in competition with me.
00:37:09.000He thinks I'm not in competition with him.
00:37:13.000But the reason I brought up myself was I wanted to get into your view of the world because I know as a journalist you don't want to Put any of those views out because then they could say, oh, well, that's his bias.
00:37:49.000You know, you asked about QE3 and we're actually doing a piece on it next week to explain to people exactly how it works and what the design is behind it.
00:37:56.000My issue is less about, like for instance, Obviously I have very strong opinions, but I think most people do.
00:38:03.000My issue is more about making sure that I'm not going to necessarily try to sway someone else's opinion.
00:38:08.000I just want their opinion to be based on fact, not on fairytale.
00:38:12.000And I think what we see too often in modern media is that we're allowing people to buy into fairytales.
00:38:19.000Jon Stewart does a hilarious bit making fun of the way that CNN does their whole, we'll leave it there, I don't know if you've ever seen it, but they have this phrase, we'll leave it there.
00:38:29.000And the fact that they say we'll leave it there on major issues that shouldn't be left there because you're not allowing people to go through this process of critical thinking and to say, well, what does this actually mean for my life?
00:38:39.000So when Ben Bernanke announces, yeah, we're going to go ahead and move on with QE3 and it'll help the economy.
00:38:45.000I would be willing to bet you that only one-tenth of the population, if even that, has any clue as to what he's talking about.
00:38:53.000Maybe even, maybe even, you know, one percent of the population really understands.
00:38:57.000No, no, I agree with you because I've talked to so many bankers, business people, even folks that are worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
00:39:04.000They don't, who are in finance, they don't understand what this means.
00:39:10.000Because there are so many different components to it.
00:39:12.000You know, you mentioned that we've been talking a lot about the issue in Libya, what's going on over there right now.
00:39:17.000And one of the reasons we're able to do that is because if you go all the way back to when we first started doing these, one of the very first reality check segments we ever put together was about the fact that the U.S.
00:39:28.000was getting involved in Libya And it didn't make sense as to why we were doing it.
00:39:31.000The fact that we were involving ourselves without a declaration of war.
00:39:35.000And now we're starting to see kind of the ramifications of that foreign policy.
00:39:39.000One of the things we're going to move into in the next few weeks, and I think people will be pretty interested in it, is we're going to start taking a look at the situation with the petrodollar and what China's doing right now in terms of these refineries they're attempting to build in Saudi Arabia and in Egypt.
00:39:55.000And ultimately what it's going to mean if the petrodollar disappears and there's a new currency in which oil was bought and traded.
00:40:01.000If that happens, it means a change in the way of life for every American that people don't even see coming because nobody's talking about it in national media.
00:40:09.000Alternative media, you guys are talking about it.
00:40:17.000That is so exciting to hear someone in mainstream news understand that.
00:40:21.000And the power structure knows this, but it's at a very high technocratic level.
00:40:26.000They're engineering this while moving their assets to China and other areas ahead of this seismic shift to bring in this global governance, this world government run by the private banks.
00:40:55.000Guys, can we cue that up, please, the CNBC clip?
00:40:58.000Because in more and more publications, they are admitting it, but it's more in establishment publications or in trade publications, they're admitting where we're going.
00:41:07.000But this isn't just quantitative easing.
00:41:10.000It's also been, and I want your take on this, going directly to the megabanks themselves as a kind of bailout.
00:41:17.000I mean, the $40 billion a month, half of the $80 billion goes to buy These derivatives, these mortgage derivatives, I mean, that isn't the taxpayer's job to pay for that.
00:41:29.000And they're doing exactly what you said.
00:41:30.000What they're essentially doing is saying, look, we're going to go in and we're going to buy all these mortgage-backed securities and derivatives.
00:41:36.000And in doing so, they are creating a system where they're socializing the profit, or excuse me, they're privatizing the profit, in that the banks are the ones who will profit from it.
00:41:46.000But then they're socializing the risk of it.
00:41:49.000They're buying up all these risky things with our dollars, then turning around and saying, well, here are the profits for that.
00:41:56.000The other issue is that this is indefinite, and people may not realize this, but when you move into quantitative easing that has no end to it, it's simply indefinite, and you're going to buy all this up.
00:42:06.000If you have a 401k, if you have a mutual fund that you're investing into for your retirement, all of those very safe ones that traditionally have done well, those are all going to be bought up by the Fed.
00:42:21.000The Fed's going to have control of that.
00:42:22.000The government will control all of those safe bets, which means if you have money you need to put aside for your own retirement, they're actually going to force you to put it into riskier stocks.
00:42:32.000There are no safe bets because they're going to buy up all the ones that are safe.
00:42:35.000So it really hurts everyone in this process.
00:42:38.000It doesn't just help the banks, but it actually puts, you know, the average investor in a position where everything they're investing into for their future that traditionally has been very safe is now going to be very risky.
00:42:48.000They infect the whole system, then hold you hostage and say, we're too big to fail, and then basically transfer all the wealth to themselves while destroying your wealth.
00:42:59.000Then they're the last group standing, and they're able to buy everything up for pennies on the dollar.
00:43:03.000That is the economic model of conquest that we're now facing as a society.
00:43:09.000And as you just stated, when they announce unlimited QE3, that leads one place.
00:43:15.000It leads to Weimar Republic, Germany type inflation.
00:43:31.000No connection to gold exploding and other commodities like gasoline, oil, spiking.
00:43:38.000And this is just with the announcement.
00:43:41.000And here are the insiders now, not doing QE1, QE2, QE3, unlimited, open-ended QE3.
00:43:48.000Now they get to know, the insiders, when they're going to be doing it with these little adjustments.
00:43:54.000The insider trading ramifications are stratospheric.
00:43:58.000What's interesting, too, is even the terms that are used, QE1, QE2, QE3, it sounds like it is the third time that the Fed has gone through this process in order to, as most people would call it, stimulate the economy.
00:44:11.000The problem is QE1, QE2, and QE3 are not the same thing at all.
00:44:15.000They were completely different programs that were designed in order to affect the markets and affect the system.
00:44:43.000And again, as you mentioned too, most financial channels and most financial reporters aren't even talking about it in any term that people can understand.
00:44:51.000But what you describe right now about shifting all of this burden away from the banks themselves, putting the risk onto the taxpayer, buying up the safe bets, shifting their own money, this is all stuff that while when you say it, a lot of people would say, oh, it's Alex Jones, it's all conspiratorial.
00:45:09.000It's not a conspiracy at all in terms of being hidden.
00:45:12.000It's a conspiracy that's happening right out in the open, and anyone can find this information.
00:45:18.000They're too busy worrying about the fact that Jersey Shore is off at the end of the season.
00:45:22.000Well, exactly, and a lot of times I get up here and rant and rave because I'm genuinely upset.
00:45:27.000That tends to get people out of their trance to realize something's going on, and I kind of make it safe to talk about these things, and then others can start to cover it.
00:45:35.000So I think everybody, you know, the Lord works in mysterious ways.
00:45:38.000That's why I'm excited to see you and others out there, you know, exposing this in a really focused news style, because that will reach people out there who've kind of heard about this, but think it's a conspiracy theory.
00:45:50.000And there you are with a whole news team behind you, able to lay all this out.
00:45:53.000And people can go again to Fox19.com to find all your reports.
00:46:38.000And you can follow us on Twitter as well, and it's at Fox19VinSwan.
00:46:42.000So we're doing work on both of those sites.
00:46:44.000We don't really have much going on with Google Plus yet, but we're working on creating some circles there, create more discussion.
00:46:49.000Again, because as I mentioned, I mean, I'm a huge fan of the people who follow me, and I just feel like those are the folks, so many of them are so smart and savvy, and they know what's going on.
00:47:00.000They're awake is the term I would use for them.
00:47:02.000And when you get around people who are awake, it energizes you and Yeah, that's what's happened.
00:47:11.000It's my listeners, it's your listeners, it's people that understand what's happening and who are breaking down the left-right paradigm and saying, hey, it's about liberty.
00:47:18.000Now, the Democrats just so happen to be, you know, absolute tyrants.
00:47:39.000I think you have to strain to find a real substantive difference between President Obama and Mitt Romney.
00:47:47.000And that's one reason why the two of them, I think, are going to really struggle when you get into this debate.
00:47:52.000The conventions were fascinating for folks who were kind of political watchers.
00:47:56.000The conventions were really interesting because the Republicans did such a poor job of shaping their message.
00:48:01.000Their message really wasn't about what they're going to change in the future.
00:48:05.000It was about how Obama had failed and he hadn't done enough and they really pushed for this we built it kind of idea because they were using a play on words.
00:48:12.000But there really wasn't a vision for what they would do differently.
00:48:15.000The Democratic Convention, the same way, there was no real vision for the future.
00:48:19.000It was Well, if we go with that guy, we're not going to like it.
00:48:22.000And so there was very little vision casting in either convention, which was kind of fascinating to me.
00:48:27.000And part of the reason I think for that is because if you really break down the direction that Governor Romney wants to take the country and the direction President Obama does, There are some differences in terms of how they want to deal with taxation, how they want to deal certainly with people who are in higher income brackets and taxation.
00:48:43.000But if we're talking about, for instance, foreign policy, tell me one thing Governor Romney will do differently than what President Obama did.
00:48:50.000Or TSA, or NSA, or the police state, or any of these things that really matter.
00:48:56.000It's like MapQuest plotting two different ways to go to the same destination.
00:49:03.000I mean, there's some changes in the route, but it goes the same place.

00:54:37.000But aren't we all just living and dying for what the central banks do?
00:54:40.000Aren't we all just counting on the fact that there's a Bernanke pot And they go on for five minutes to all agree we're run by global government, run by banks.
00:54:57.000Exactly what I said 17 years ago was gonna happen.
00:54:59.000Because I was reading the Trilateral Commission public documents.
00:55:03.000But the issue here is Bernanke said a year ago there'd be no QE3.
00:55:09.000And they wanted us to beg for it first, because if they don't do it, we're in trouble.
00:55:13.000But if they do, we're in trouble because they engineered this.
00:55:16.000Ben Swine, he's one of the anchors over there, an investigative reporter at Fox 19 in Cincinnati, now has a national, international following via YouTube and their site.
00:55:26.000We're taking phone calls, got a lot of fans.
00:55:29.000Big fan of yours, Mr. Swan, and you as well, Mr. Jones.
00:55:31.000I wanted to bring you up to pace on a few things that I found out.
00:55:35.000Brian in Colorado, you're on the air with our guest.
00:55:38.000Big fan of yours, Mr. Swan, and you as well, Mr. Jones.
00:55:42.000I wanted to bring you up to taste on a few things that I found out.
00:55:47.000I live in Colorado, and it's very frightening to have the ATF state that they're going to take people's gun rights that smoke marijuana or use marijuana because a lot of people in Colorado have guns, and a lot of people in Colorado smoke marijuana.
00:56:02.000But the thing I really wanted to point out to you, gentlemen, is that through my research, I found that marijuana oil cures cancer.
00:56:09.000Well, it's certainly been shown to be a treatment.
00:57:31.000Well, I mean, I know because I've talked to National, they have talked, well, you saw two weeks ago where the New York Times is in contact with the CIA and killing stories for them.
00:58:01.000At the top of the pyramid, talking points are given, White House meetings, you name it, book deals, all of it, because I've been offered it.
00:58:08.000And then all the little parrots think, oh, those are the stars.
00:58:11.000If I copy what they say, I'll rise up.
00:58:14.000When in truth, even if you were a cynical mercenary, being different is what will make you rise up in a stagnant system.

01:01:47.000Well, Alex, a few years ago I talked about InfraGard to a neighbor who claimed to have worked for Raytheon and the FBI, and then he proudly showed me his InfraGard card.
01:01:57.000He turned out to be a busybody, a stalker, not just towards myself, but another neighbor's.
01:02:02.000And about keeping Tom as well, he liked to call... Yeah, I mean, you heard me profile him, and that's exactly what my dad was saying.
01:02:09.000He said he's run into several of these now.
01:02:11.000Well, I'm not supposed to get into it all, but the point is, go ahead.
01:02:16.000He also likes to call police with false accusations that apparently he felt powerful by his InfraGard card.
01:02:22.000Maybe everyone should carry one, sort of as a KMA.
01:02:25.000You know, as Aaron Russo's talking about Nicholas Rockefeller's thing, that he'll have a KMA chip.
01:02:33.000Unfortunately, he died of emphysema due to his irresistible smoking habit.
01:02:39.000If I could bring up another issue that I called about.
01:02:42.000There's a locally based radio talk network, radio network, that carries your show and talk network here in the Tampa Bay area on 1340 AM and 1350 AM and 880 AM on Little Rock, Arkansas.
01:02:54.000That's a 50,000 watt transmitter who now accepts the local new community currency called Clearwater Hours.
01:03:01.000I want to get the owner of that system on.
01:03:03.000I know they got us on a bunch of great affiliates.
01:03:25.000They're harassing veterans, you name it, but oh, it doesn't exist.
01:03:29.000Dad, I know you don't, you didn't want to tell me the whole story because it's patient, you know, doctor privilege, but you're allowed to say as a dentist, what happened?
01:03:36.000Is it true that this person has been your patient for a very long time, wanted to hire you to be a minion, and then you went and talked to other dentists and found out they'd been visited by other groups?
01:03:47.000I actually was doing some consulting in Dallas at the time and I was passing through Waco and I heard a local police liaison in Waco talking about how people could volunteer and it could be a career path toward really good employment for kids in high school and people in their neighborhoods and all different levels and it was literally about becoming
01:04:12.000a volunteer part of an intelligence gathering, keep your neighborhood safe volunteer type program.
01:04:19.000And it was going on, and it was real interesting to me because about that same time, someone had pre-approached Dr. King in his neighborhood about being involved in doing that sort of thing.
01:04:32.000In other words, see something, say something, keep your neighborhood safe.
01:04:36.000I basically was just approached by a patient that was involved in law enforcement that had said that they would like for me to be involved in basically just being aware of what was going on and to talk to other doctors and things in our organization that we were in a good position to...
01:04:59.000Hey, now that we've started this, we've got Tom Woods coming on, We'll come back to you.
01:05:04.000The worst drought in 50 years continues, and the first six months of 2012 marks the hottest half year on record.

01:08:27.000Well, ladies and gentlemen, I've been taking calls for two hours, and I'm doing a lot better than I normally do, and it's been pretty powerful hearing whistleblowers about InfraGard spying on people and things.
01:08:38.000And we opened up our internal phone lines as well and never got to that phone bank.
01:08:43.000Scott, Chuck, Lyon, Hart, Blake, I'm going to get to you guys with Tom Woods, because you've been patient.
01:08:49.000I know we've got loaded phone lines over here.
01:09:08.000We covered it when it was still secret.
01:09:11.000And it's getting preachers to spy on their flocks and try to influence them to accept gun confiscation, you name it.
01:09:16.000I've played newscasts where they admit it.
01:09:20.000And then this caller calls in and says, I disagree.
01:09:25.000You know, I want to hear your dad say that he got approached to be part of the See Something Say Something and invited to meetings and things.
01:09:33.000And then my dad talked to other dentists and found out they've been visited by other groups at home.
01:10:14.000The guy was implying, and I was making this up, the TSA isn't sticking their hands down our pants either.
01:10:20.000Break down your concern and what went on without violating the, in fact, just tell the stories of the other doctors.
01:10:28.000Getting visited at home, that's better.
01:10:30.000Basically, it was all a cumulative effect from having heard things on the radio mentioning it to people, and then just out of the blue, someone who'd been a patient for a long time, there was a fairly senior person involved in the administration and law enforcement had said, we're organizing community-level there was a fairly senior person involved in the administration and law enforcement had said, we're organizing community-level things whereby people are volunteering to go out
01:10:56.000And what we've found that teachers and doctors and certain other people, bankers, have key positions where they can see and understand things that are going on that we need to know.
01:11:07.000I could use your help on an administrative level.
01:11:11.000We're creating career paths for a lot of people at all different ages.
01:11:15.000Young people, people in high school, people in college, and people that are senior people in their professions.
01:11:23.000Right now it's an organizational state, but it could develop into something much more involved.
01:11:29.000And now dad, I think you're conflating several stories here because I know you don't listen all the time, but there was also the other individual, and I know you can't, that also came and flashed his little badge and things and was talking about something else.
01:11:46.000Well, I've had several people approach me over time.
01:11:49.000I didn't know which incident you were talking about.
01:11:51.000This was about the time after I'd gone through Waco and picked up a very similar community program.
01:11:59.000Yeah, well, there was one guy who wanted you to watch your patience as well.
01:12:07.000You're in a situation of interviewing people and talking to people and being in positions of trust and things like that.
01:12:12.000But I think more than anything, they were interested in me.
01:12:15.000basically doing some monitoring of charting issues and things on a general basis, but it didn't get so detailed because I was not interested in it.
01:12:27.000But then you found out that other dentists were getting visits at home.
01:12:39.000Just briefly, while you're here and Tom Woods is patiently holding best-selling author, I keep meaning to get you on air, because I only promote things.
01:12:46.000You know, I wasn't promoting the Longevity insurance cards because I just wasn't sure about them, hadn't used them.
01:12:51.000I've now gotten a few prescriptions the last year.
01:12:53.000It took that long to actually get a few prescriptions.
01:13:52.000And then you were telling me, hey, this is what's really hot because you, you know, bought a bunch of... Well, it's a great value.
01:13:58.000I just basically give them away for free and people, anybody, and at first I was saying use this if you don't have insurance, but people were telling me In fact, I heard one of your pharmacy people online talking about how sometimes that you can buy stuff generic cheaper without using insurance than you do with it because the volume pricing is so low if you're buying a, say, three months, six months, or a year supply rather than paying the copay.
01:14:23.000But this doesn't even access, you know, generic stuff or bolt buying.
01:15:12.000He is the author of 11 books, most recently Roll Back, Repealing Big Government Before the Coming Financial Collapse, Nullification, How to Resist Federal Tyranny in the 21st Century.
01:15:21.000Woods has been edited and written, the introduction to five additional books, and I just always enjoy hearing him when he's a guest on the radio or on TV.
01:15:34.000And thank you for holding the last five minutes while my dad was on.
01:15:38.000What is your take, briefly, of the Stasi state, the Infra Guard, the clergy response teams, Homeland Security saying veterans are the number one terror threat?
01:15:48.000I mean, of course, we had the case of somebody being incarcerated because of some Facebook posts, for heaven's sake.
01:15:54.000And, I mean, it seems to me we cannot hit this hard enough.
01:15:58.000Now, on the other hand, there are two things that I note about all this.
01:16:01.000On the one hand, technology is being exploited by the bad guys to go after the rest of us.
01:16:07.000But on the other hand, there are ways in which we can use technology to fight back against them.
01:16:11.000And one silver lining, as we're watching this sort of police state develop, Is that today, you know, people have got smartphones and they can record these incidents with the police very easily and discreetly.
01:16:24.000And before you know it, they're all over YouTube and things that the authorities might have been able to get away with in the past, suddenly they're on the defensive.
01:16:46.000I'm hopeful that there's got to be some, some entrepreneur somewhere who figures out a way around that in the same way that, you know, they try to, they try to do the same thing to radar detectors, and there are always ways around it.
01:16:58.000My hope is that a free people that actually cares about his freedom will always be one step ahead.
01:17:03.000Well, I agree with you, but why are we letting the government say we're going to hit a button and broadcast a code to turn your camera off without a warrant, without anything controlling your property?
01:17:22.000When I see people get really passionate in a presidential election year for a candidate other than Ron Paul, I feel like you just haven't woken up yet.
01:17:31.000There obviously isn't going to be a change between Romney and Obama, and the fact that people are going to see this Dinesh D'Souza movie and walking out saying, I gotta clamp down, I gotta do everything I can to get Establishment Candidate A out so I can replace him with Establishment Candidate B. If only these people's efforts were directed in the right place, we might be getting somewhere.
01:18:40.000You know, what I want to do is, one of these days I'm going to make a video, when it gets time for the presidential debates, a video of the top ten questions that will not be asked of these people, because if you did ask it, it would expose the scam of the so-called free elections that we have.
01:18:57.000Well, Tom, I tell you, an hour is not enough time.
01:19:40.000I think a couple times he's called in over the last 17 years, but a guy called in going, you're dad, I want to hear him claim the government tried to recruit him to spy on his patients.
01:19:48.000And my dad didn't tell you the half of it, okay?
01:19:51.000Okay, like I'm, you know, kind of a wild guy.
01:19:54.000My dad's kind of the opposite, real calm, and he didn't tell you half of it, okay?

01:25:03.000Well, my view is that we have to try something that's not out of the New York Times playbook.
01:25:09.000I mean, the New York Times and the mainstream media, their role is to try to limit our range of debate.
01:25:15.000It's to say, well, here are the issues that you're allowed to talk about, here are the positions, here's the three-inch range you're allowed to take on those issues.
01:25:22.000And if we're going to play by their rules, we're never going to get anywhere.
01:25:25.000So we've got to be willing to do things that aren't mentioned in Newsweek or aren't mentioned on the TV.
01:25:31.000And so that's why I like the idea of state nullification.
01:25:34.000I wrote a book called Nullification, as you mentioned.
01:25:36.000And the idea of this is that the states created the federal government.
01:25:40.000They ought to have some say in whether the federal government is obeying the Constitution or not.
01:25:47.000And in fact, as Madison and Jefferson said in 1798, the states in the last resort have to say to the federal government, no, what you're doing is unconstitutional and we refuse to go along with it.
01:25:57.000Now that is, needless to say, not in the Romney agenda, it's not in the Obama agenda, it's not what Chris Matthews would say, it's not what Bill O'Reilly would say.
01:26:08.000So basically you've got all the corrupt, as Mike Church calls them, the Decepticons on the one side, and you've got Thomas Jefferson on the other.
01:26:15.000I'll take Thomas Jefferson and state nullification.
01:26:17.000We're starting to see this picking up steam around the country as people feel like, you know, I voted for the candidates, I've handed out pocket constitutions, I've done everything else.
01:26:33.000And I'll tell you, there's a lot of fun in trying it.
01:26:35.000Because when you see the look on the face of Rachel Maddow and Chris Matthews when they talk about the reappearance of state nullification, it's like their dog died.
01:26:45.000This is not something they want us doing.
01:26:48.000By the way, you have absolutely hit the heart of it.
01:26:50.000They control the debates between the Demo-rats and the Decepticons.
01:26:56.000They sit there and give you this false tiny spectrum.
01:27:01.000And my seven-year-old daughter was in the back of the car and she goes, well, daddy, are we Democrats or Republicans?
01:27:06.000And my nine-year-old son said, no, that's a false choice, because he listens to the show more.
01:27:11.000And said that's, you know, how they control us.
01:27:29.000So, of course, when you do pursue something like state nullification, as some states have been talking about with a variety of pieces of federal legislation, naturally the state is going to come out with all the guns, rhetorical guns, at least at this stage, that they have.
01:27:41.000Namely, they're going to accuse you of, well, of course, you're an extremist, a word they never define, of course.
01:27:47.000There's nothing extreme about what they do, you understand.
01:28:31.000They use, for those that don't know, states' rights so that people could run and be safe.
01:28:37.000That's exactly what was going on in Wisconsin and elsewhere and they said we have to protect our state sovereignty, our right to protect these poor souls and give them a jury trial and not have them just be dragged away to their masters.
01:28:48.000That's history that we're not supposed to know.
01:28:50.000We're supposed to know that the states are wicked, the federal government is this great wonderful progressive force and we are blasting that narrative to bits with nullification.
01:29:09.000When you read the John Warner Defense Authorization Act, when you look, you saw when Texas unanimously in the House said, we're going to enforce the law, don't grope people at the airport, misdemeanor on the outside, felony on the inside.
01:29:28.000It's like, oh, well, RF-16s will stop you from enforcing that.
01:29:32.000I mean, the state should have called that bluff.
01:29:34.000I want to come back and get your take on that, and then just keep expanding, because we sell the DVD that's based on your book to a great extent.

01:30:59.000Alex Jones here with a great way to beat the blackouts.
01:31:07.000Get off the grid and generate your own supply of electrical power.
01:31:11.000Folks, with what's been going on in this country, I don't have to tell you about the power grid and just how vulnerable it is.
01:31:16.000That's in the mainstream news every day.
01:31:18.000Millions of people have lost their power in the last few weeks because of dangerous storms and killer heat that's pushing the grid beyond its capacity.
01:31:26.000I've always said that every family needs to be ready for blackouts.
01:31:30.000And if you don't have a backup system in place, I've got a great opportunity for you.
01:31:34.000Right now, our good friends at Solutions from Science are offering huge savings on their best-selling Power Hub unit.
01:31:41.000In fact, I think it's the best deal I've ever seen them make.
01:31:44.000It's literally thousands of dollars in savings.
01:31:47.000Remember, these backup systems don't need gas because they're solar-powered.
01:31:51.000That means there's no dangerous fumes and no noise.
01:31:54.000InfoWars listeners can get all the details at BeatTheBlackouts.com.
01:32:03.000The worst drought in 50 years continues, and the first six months of 2012 marks the hottest half year on record.
01:32:09.00078% of the Midwest corn belt is in drought conditions.
01:32:12.000Not only corn, but soy, alfalfa, fruits, vegetables, and wheat are all impacted, raising prices.
01:32:18.000The cost to feed livestock is forcing farmers and ranchers out of business, blowing up your food prices.
01:32:23.000The only strategy to counter this is to freeze your food costs at today's prices by getting your own supply of foods or meat foods direct now.
01:32:30.000As the price of raw ingredients increases, eFoods will have to raise prices too.
01:34:37.000Because the federal government itself Has been taken over, and I want to get into that subject right now with our guest, but there's also a dark side type of nullification.
01:34:49.000When Congress won't do things that are unconstitutional, like pass carbon taxes, Obama just does it via executive order.
01:34:55.000So the federal government itself, as they've bragged on CNBC, has been captured by these offshore globalists that are above the law and fat on bailout money.
01:35:39.000They're like, oh no, let's have 60% turnouts for a federal election, but 8% on average for local.
01:35:45.000So everybody get out to Elgin tonight.
01:35:48.000We'll give you that at the very end of the show.
01:35:50.000But these meetings are happening everywhere.
01:35:52.000We're, hi, you want to have a livable area?
01:35:55.000Pass a law that bureaucrats decide if you can use your land at all.
01:35:59.000You know, forget fish and wildlife saying you have a puddle on your land that you've owned for a hundred years, now we're going to take it.
01:36:03.000Now just pass a law because it's trendy.
01:36:06.000We're going to shut down your coal power plant because it's trendy.
01:36:11.000Tom, getting into the issue of What the feds are doing and how they themselves have been taken over.
01:36:18.000We ended the last segment bringing up the point about Texas threatened with F-16s to not let aircraft come into our state if we dared to not let TSA, who aren't even police, stick their hands down our pants.
01:36:34.000Well, my own recommendation for this is that as we go forward and as we gain more and more interest in the idea of nullification is that we need to coordinate.
01:36:42.000We need to have friendly legislators in one state coordinating with legislators in other states.
01:36:47.000And we do have legislators around the country who are on board for nullification.
01:38:25.000But what it does, even if it fails, which I don't think it will, but even if it did, it succeeds in getting people to think outside this suffocating box.
01:38:36.000Like the only opinion you can have is between Joe Biden and Mitt Romney.
01:38:40.000That's just a, that's a mental disease.
01:38:42.000Exactly, but I mean what you just said is so true.
01:38:45.000They lie awake at night afraid of nullification because the states created the federal government and the two are supposed to be a separation of powers and the federal government has become this distant imperium just like England became a distant imperium and the city of London from the 13 colonies and you read what's in the Declaration of Independence It's exactly what's happening today, and then some.
01:39:08.000I mean, things are worse today than they were then.
01:39:11.000And like you said, so-called liberals aren't liberals.
01:39:35.000On the nullification issue, Jefferson predicted this outcome, and he warned, he said, if you let the federal government have the final monopolistic word on what the Constitution means, take a wild guess on what will happen.
01:39:48.000It's going to interpret it in ways that benefit itself.
01:39:51.000And in ways that eclipse the states and the people.
01:39:55.000Now the argument for nullification, constitutionally, morally, every other way, is such a home run.
01:40:00.000I know this because I've had exchanges with law professors on it.
01:40:04.000These law professors can't debate their way out of a paper bag.
01:40:07.000They all have the same three rotten arguments.
01:40:10.000So I got so sick of answering the same things over and over again, I just put up, I bought the domain name state nullification dot com and I basically put up there All the information you need to be even a law professor.
01:40:21.000Because they don't have the arguments.
01:40:23.000It is true that Jefferson said these things.
01:40:25.000It is true that the states created the federal government.
01:40:56.000The states are not just, you know, cute little, you know, arbitrary boundary lines and, you know, Vermont has some quirks and California has its quirks and isn't that neat.
01:41:04.000These are supposed to be boundary lines against tyranny.
01:41:33.000The governor of Connecticut, Jonathan Trumbull, said that the state governments are in the last resort, the bulwark of the liberties of the people.
01:41:42.000And so in 2010, in Connecticut, the very same state, 200 years later, there was an attorney general race.
01:41:49.000And the woman who was running as a Republican got in the debates, picked up my book Nullification, which quotes the old Connecticut governor from 200 years ago, and she quoted from it and said, we need to do this again.
01:42:00.000Well, of course, the media just went absolutely berserk.
01:42:04.000She's not staying between the Biden and Romney spectrum.
01:42:17.000And I don't think it's not taught just because by accident or they didn't have time to get to it that day.
01:42:22.000It's because if you don't teach it, it's easier to pass off this narrative whereby In American history, all we have is the great, glorious, progressive federal government always doing wondrous deeds for the people.
01:42:34.000That's what they want us to take, so that we'll sit back and not ask them questions.
01:42:41.000Where do you see this confrontation going?
01:42:43.000Because clearly the federal government's buying 1.4 billion bullets.
01:42:47.000The lapdog media spins that into $174,000 and says, why are you guys upset?
01:42:53.000When they're setting up checkpoints, TSA on the streets, 1.4 billion bullets, and they spin it to $174,000.
01:42:58.000When they are federalizing everything, NDAA, Patriot Act, face scanning cameras going into buy and sell.
01:43:12.000And then they still look at us and go, you're the crazy people that say the government's too big.
01:43:17.000Or, you know, the Southern Poverty Law Center and ADL are like, dangerous terrorists think there's a world government as it's being announced everywhere.
01:43:26.000I mean, I don't think they understand, or do they, that they're really losing the hearts and minds right now.
01:43:31.000And shoveling more disinfo is only making people's exodus from under their dark wings accelerate.
01:43:40.000I mean, the fact that, as Lou Rockwell said at the Paul Festival, I don't think there's a 25-year-old in this country, a 25 or under, who still reads a newspaper.
01:43:50.000So, in other words, the usual mechanisms that they once used to manufacture consent No longer exist as far as most young people are concerned.
01:43:59.000And then of course we all know how Ron Paul did among the young people.
01:44:02.000Gary Johnson, who's not quite Ron Paul, but nevertheless he represents some kind of a difference, is doing much better among the younger people.
01:44:09.000So although time is not really on our side in some ways, well in other ways at least we see that the young people who haven't been raised on a diet of, you listen to the three channels and you accept what they say, are willing to look elsewhere For their information, because they know liars when they see them.
01:44:26.000But we also, as you're right, we've got to talk about the local level, because maybe at this point, I mean, Ron Paul did us a great service, educational service, on the national level, and I don't know what we would have done without that.
01:44:36.000But moving forward, we've got to think about the local level, and what you can do as an individual.
01:44:40.000Like, New Hampshire is a great example.
01:44:42.000They passed a jury nullification law, so that juries can not only decide whether the person was guilty or innocent, but also decide the justice of the law.
01:44:51.000The Free State Project in New Hampshire is trying to encourage a free society by just having people go to one place, New Hampshire, and working together to build a free society.
01:44:59.000Now, unfortunately, my old state of Massachusetts, which I'm sorry, I apologize, I'm from Massachusetts, is screwing that up because so many people in Massachusetts, they screw up Massachusetts.
01:45:08.000They have no idea why Massachusetts is screwed up.
01:45:14.000So they've got their hands full up there.
01:45:15.000But these are the sorts of things that liberty-minded people creatively are coming up with when they're faced with what seems like insuperable odds.
01:45:24.000They're just saying, well, you know what?
01:45:25.000It may be insuperable odds, but I'm going to go down fighting.
01:45:32.000I mean, they passed a 20% carbon tax a couple years ago.
01:45:36.000Knowing that when you raise taxes too much it actually destroys the tax receipts and now the exodus has accelerated and then their answer is raise taxes again.
01:45:50.000There is this predatory instinct to the bureaucrat and the bureaucrat Minions and also these kleptocrat mega corporations that love working with big government to shut down their competition.
01:46:02.000I was reading where Walmart now, you know, has much lower profits.
01:46:06.000Well, what do they expect when they engage in anti-free market monopolistic tactics and then try to frame the free market for a monopoly they've created that's the opposite of that?
01:46:17.000Well, there's also this move to try to get national sales tax on the Internet, and there are some merchants who would like to see that happen because they feel like that would help them against local competitors and so on.
01:46:31.000Everybody winds up trying to use the government to line his pockets, which is why, unfortunately, in the mainstream media, the way they respond to that is to say, well, we've got to take the money out of politics.
01:46:41.000You've got to take the power out of Washington.
01:46:45.000Because you're never going to be able to get the money out as long as there's stuff to be had.
01:46:49.000The crooks will always figure out how to get their grubby hands on it.
01:46:53.000So you have to go after the source of the problem, which is not that too much money is being donated to campaigns.
01:46:59.000It's that once elected, the president can favor you.
01:47:23.000I mean, the education bureaucracy is a disaster and a joke.
01:47:27.000I mean, the administration is so bloated in all these cities.
01:47:32.000In New York City, it's something like 6,000 bureaucrats in the central office, whereas the Catholic schools educate like one-sixth as many students, so they should have 1,000 bureaucrats.
01:47:43.000I mean, it goes to show there's something wrong here.
01:47:45.000This is not a matter of, I just said this on C-SPAN the other day, this is not a matter of the government is there because these are wonderful public-spirited people who just want to promote the common good.
01:47:54.000No, these are people who want to loot and expropriate you and build up their own impenetrable fiefdoms.
01:48:02.000Where they increase their budgets and their power.
01:48:37.000I mean, don't the cops know that once there's on a Bill of Rights and Constitution that they have no protections?
01:48:43.000Well, that's why I think it's important all this, there's been some good educational work done to try to reach local police and educate them and make them alert to what's going on.
01:48:51.000A lot of them are just, they feel like they're just doing their jobs and they're not really aware of the implications of all this.
01:48:58.000But the long and the short of it is what we're seeing though today at the same time, I mean, I think we've got two things going on at once.
01:49:05.000On the one hand, the acceleration of trends that are deeply disturbing and dangerous for all of us.
01:49:11.000But on the other hand, we have more people than ever Who are becoming alert to this and are becoming interested in alternative sources of opinion, and that's all to the good.
01:49:21.000And so, for instance, September 22nd, I'm told there's a big nationwide and the Fed rally at all the different Federal Reserve Banks.
01:49:28.000Now, for me, most of the time I feel like a lot of these demonstrations don't really do much, but I make an exception to this.
01:49:35.000Because the very fact that there's a demonstration outside a Federal Reserve Bank makes people realize the Federal Reserve is something people actually have an opinion about.
01:49:44.000And it makes them start realizing, hey, it's private, and hey, we're not just going to protest the puppet Republicans and Democrats.
01:49:50.000We're going to go directly to the real puppeteer.
01:50:05.000None of them are going to do any of these things.
01:50:06.000So we have to go directly, again, we have to go directly to the public and say, what is the thing, the most important institution, That is privileged by the government, namely the Federal Reserve, that you never hear about, or if you do talk about it, you are dismissed from polite society.

01:52:07.000What I'm about to tell you in the next 60 seconds could get me in a lot of trouble.
01:52:10.000I just created a free video presentation at 123coverup.com that exposes the electricity monopolies and government agencies for what they really are.
01:52:20.000Incompetent, lying crooks that are counting on your ignorance and fear to keep your power bills criminally high.
01:55:43.000You've got the UN and globalists taking over with sustainable development and all the rest of it in towns everywhere because no one's resisting them.
01:55:51.000They understand the power of the local.
01:55:53.000And so I tell listeners, just get out there with the truth and get in these parasites' face.
01:55:58.000And they'll act like you're powerless up front.
01:56:06.000And as you said earlier, the turnouts for these local elections are basically negligible.
01:56:11.000So this is, I mean, talk about low-hanging fruit.
01:56:13.000Forget about trying to run for Congress or something when you could get the state Senate without all that much difficulty and a lot of...
01:56:20.000Good, liberty-minded people will rally around you, and you don't need a gigantic budget.
01:56:25.000But if you are remotely charismatic and you know your stuff, then you can't actually stop these people.
01:56:30.000Because really, these people, they prosper in the darkness.
01:56:35.000They prosper by keeping their intentions quiet or off the table or masking them with cutesy, saccharine-sounding language about the children and future generations or whatever.
01:56:45.000But they need that benign mask ripped off their faces.
01:56:48.000by somebody who's knowledgeable and frankly who can laugh at them.
01:56:51.000Humor is so important because these people like to be treated with deadly earnest.
01:56:57.000And for us just to treat them as just laughable nobodies just gets under their skin.
01:57:01.000And to me it's not enough to just to fight them.
01:57:05.000I didn't understand that until a few years ago, 17 years on air, that they will ban our videos and file false claims on them when I make fun of a professor saying reduce humanity or I make fun of the TSA.
01:57:56.000And if we don't take it, we have only ourselves to blame.
01:57:58.000And that's why Obama now says the cybersecurity executive order to shut down free speech.
01:58:03.000He's now saying in executive order, Congress wouldn't do what he wanted.
01:58:08.000Well, the executive order thing, I mean, we could do a whole show on that, but that is just so egregiously unconstitutional, but neither party will actually stop it.
01:58:16.000As long as my party's president is doing it, it's okay.
01:58:19.000Alright, Tom Woods, we're out of time.
02:00:14.000He's Alex Jones on the GCN Radio Network.
02:00:18.000And now, live from Austin, Texas, Alex Jones.
02:00:22.000Well, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Pulitzer Prize winning journalist who's been in a lot of serious war zones and reported on some of the biggest stories of our time as a Pulitzer Prize winner, He is Chris Hedges and the website's truthdig.com.
02:00:50.000He has a new book out that we're going to be breaking down with him today, Days of Destruction, What Days of Revolt.
02:01:11.000It's almost like my ghost dance here, wishing that we weren't going into such a fascist, corporatist tyranny.
02:01:18.000But Chris Hedges joins us, one of the few real liberal voices that you can say is respectable and really makes sense and who doesn't compromise.
02:01:26.000It's very scary to see none of the main conservatives against torture, Secret war, the end of the Bill of Rights, and really hardly any liberals.
02:01:36.000In fact, a lot of them love it because it's empowering their precious state that they don't understand is now a corporate instrument.
02:01:42.000Chris, we're about to go to break here in a few minutes, but I didn't want to waste any time getting you on.
02:01:49.000Tell us a little bit about the new book.
02:01:51.000Well, it goes to the sacrifice zones, the poorest pockets of the country that have been forced to kneel before unfettered corporate capitalism.
02:02:03.000And it's a kind of warning because They went first and we're next as we allow these corporate forces to reconfigure the country into a form of neo-feudalism, an oligarchic state backed by, you know, the most intrusive security surveillance apparatus probably in the history of humankind.
02:02:25.000And I speak as somebody who covered the fall of East Germany.
02:02:28.000I'm very familiar with the Stasi state.
02:02:32.000Uh, and you know, there are no impediments left.
02:02:35.000So, you know, it looks at places like Camden, New Jersey, which per capita is the poorest city in the United States, not surprisingly also one of the most dangerous, Pine Ridge, South Dakota.
02:02:47.000Lakota, Indian Reservation, where the average life expectancy for a male is 48.
02:02:52.000That is the lowest in the Western Hemisphere, outside of Haiti.
02:02:56.000The coalfields of southern West Virginia, one of the most minerally rich pockets of the United States, and yet, of course, harbors the poorest population, along with terrible ecological devastation.
02:03:10.000And finally, the produce fields, where these undocumented workers, who are the perfect worker, In the eyes of the corporate state, because they have no legal rights.
02:03:28.000When they don't have enough work, they sleep out literally under mango trees in Florida.
02:03:32.000And then we finally end with the Occupy Movement, which is, again, you know, with the title of the book, Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt.
02:03:40.000That first bubbling, I think, of consciousness Of revolt, of a recognition that we have undergone a corporate coup d'etat in slow motion and it's over.
02:03:52.000Citizens United probably nailed the last peg in the coffin.
02:03:56.000And civil disobedience is, I think, all we have left.
02:04:00.000Now we're going to go to break here in a moment and come back and get into your case against the NDAA and all the amazing work you're engaged in, and just some of the signposts that we see showing that this, from my view, has been a conscious, RAND Corporation talked about it 15 years ago, construction of a system designed to implode the economy under a feudal system, as you said, using poverty as political
02:04:24.000control because you can say what you want about America and what it's done the last hundred years but even in the 40s 50s 60s there was a plan to build up the third world and stuff now it is no make everybody poor and have private cities the elites live in and it's such a evil Malthusian view I want to get your well-traveled expert view on this from your perspective and talk about the book Straight ahead after this break, amazing interview coming up with Chris Hedges.
02:04:52.000Truthdig.com will tell you more about the book, Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt.
02:05:01.000Sick of the globalist eugenicist control freaks adding poison to your water and laughing as you get sick and die?
02:05:07.000Start purifying your water with ProPure.
02:05:09.000My friends, I've done a lot of research, and the best gravity filter out there bar none is ProPure, and it's available discounted at InfoWars.com.
02:05:18.000Its filters are silver impregnated to prevent bacterial growth.
02:05:59.000Alex Jones here with a great way to beat the blackouts, get off the grid, and generate your own supply of electrical power.
02:06:08.000Folks, with what's been going on in this country, I don't have to tell you about the power grid and just how vulnerable it is.
02:06:13.000That's in the mainstream news every day.
02:06:16.000Millions of people have lost their power in the last few weeks because of dangerous storms and killer heat that's pushing the grid beyond its capacity.
02:06:24.000I've always said that every family needs to be ready for blackouts.
02:06:28.000And if you don't have a backup system in place, I've got a great opportunity for you.
02:06:32.000Right now, our good friends at Solutions from Science are offering huge savings on their best-selling Power Hub unit.
02:06:39.000In fact, I think it's the best deal I've ever seen them make.
02:06:42.000It's literally thousands of dollars in savings.
02:06:45.000Remember, these backup systems don't need gas because they're solar-powered.
02:06:49.000That means there's no dangerous fumes and no noise.
02:06:52.000InfoWars listeners can get all the details at BeatTheBlackouts.com.
02:08:57.000We've got an amazing guest joining us, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist who has covered, you name it, the Stasi, the Russians, and many tyrannies.
02:09:10.000He's been in high-level coverage of negotiations all over the Middle East, and he sued earlier this year over the NDAA that Obama signed on December 31st, when he thought no one was paying attention, 2011.
02:09:26.000He has a new book just out, Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt.
02:09:51.000Here's the ACLU press release just out yesterday on it.
02:09:53.000They got the document where the Army, DOD, did it.
02:09:57.000And they say in here that it's low-level terrorism to protest and ask the court to keep him in jail because protesting is now illegal.
02:10:06.000We are seeing again the FBI caught with 12 million IDs of folks with Apple computers.
02:10:13.000Here joining us to break it down is Chris Hedges, who I don't really need to go over more of his bio here.
02:10:20.000Most people know who he is or should know who he is, but he joins us now.
02:10:27.000Chris, what is the state of the world in your view?
02:10:30.000Well, I think, you know, one of the things we have to be clear about is that the assault on civil liberties, which began under the Bush administration, has in fact been accelerated by the Obama administration.
02:10:42.000It's worse under Obama than under Bush.
02:10:46.000When you tick off all the things that the Obama administration has done over the last four years, refusal to restore habeas corpus, interpretation of the 2001 Authorization to Use Military Force Act, as giving the executive branch the right to assassinate American citizens, whatever you think of these figures, like Anwar al-Awlaki, the Yemeni cleric, and then, of course, his 16-year-old son, who was never accused of anything
02:11:12.000two weeks later, the FISA Amendment Act, which one of the plaintiffs will be heard in the Supreme Court on October 29th, which retroactively made legal, but under our Constitution has always been illegal, warrantless wiretapping, monitoring, and eavesdropping warrantless wiretapping, monitoring, and eavesdropping of tens of millions of American citizens who have done nothing, been charged with no crime, and we know that all of our personal information is now being stored out in supercomputers in Utah.
02:11:41.000The Obama administration has also employed six times the Espionage Act, which was never designed to ferret out whistleblowers as they are using it.
02:11:53.000These are people who have exposed war crimes in the case of the CIA official Sterling who purportedly leaked this information to Jim Risen at the New York Times.
02:12:05.000He's used it to essentially shut down Anything that counters the official government narrative.
02:12:12.000And I was an investigative reporter for the New York Times.
02:12:16.000I know many of the major investigative reporters.
02:12:18.000And they will tell you that at this point, investigating anything the government does has become impossible.
02:12:25.000Even on background briefings will no longer be given because people are scared of being charged with the Espionage Act.
02:12:32.000officials have been charged, which, of course, brings with it prison time.
02:12:36.000And this brings us to the National Defense Authorization Act, which, as you mentioned, Alex, was signed by the president on December 31st, New Year's Eve, of course, a moment when he thought we weren't looking.
02:12:48.000Now, the National Defense Authorization Act, Section 1021, authorizes the U.S. Constitution government, or more specifically, the executive branch, to condemn or label an American citizen a terrorist.
02:13:06.000And not only a terrorist, but in the language of that section, someone who has relationships with what they call associated forces, a term that's never defined.
02:13:16.000To use the military, this is contravening 200 years of domestic law, to detain these people, hold them in military facilities, strip them of due process, and if the military so determines, actually ship them to offshore penal colonies like Guantanamo actually ship them to offshore penal colonies like Guantanamo and other black sites around the world in the language of this section until the end of hostilities, whenever that is.
02:13:42.000In an age of permanent war, that's a very long time.
02:13:45.000We challenge that in federal and the Southern District Court of New York.
02:13:50.000Federal Judge Catherine Forrest issued a temporary injunction, in essence invalidating that section of the NDAA, Today.
02:14:04.000We had a final hearing at the beginning of August.
02:14:07.000And in which Judge Forrest will now determine whether that temporary injunction will become permanent.
02:14:15.000But we know how the Obama administration will respond if she invalidates that section of the NDA, which of course I think she should.
02:14:23.000They've already challenged the temporary injunction.
02:14:27.000They will clearly challenge the permanent injunction if she rules that it is unconstitutional, as it appears she will.
02:14:36.000Uh, that will take it to an appellate court.
02:14:38.000If they uphold the ruling, it will go to the Supreme Court.
02:14:41.000But all of this comes under the Obama administration.
02:14:43.000And my frustration with self-professed liberals is that, um, you know, they're entranced with the rhetoric of Obama and utterly ignore the facts.
02:14:57.000And as you mentioned earlier, I think what we are seeing is, in essence, a rewriting of the legal code to criminalize any form of legitimate dissent.
02:15:09.000And that's because the corporate state, corporate power, understands very well what's coming, both in terms of the environmental crisis and the economic crisis, and they want the legal mechanisms to shut it down.
02:15:22.000You know, it's interesting that in the August, in the last hearing, In Judge Forrest's courtroom, she, as the judge, actually brought up the detention of 110,000 Japanese-Americans who, you know, because of their ethnicity, were sent to internment camps, again without any kind of legal recourse, and said that this section of the NDA essentially sets that precedent.
02:15:49.000We are now reaching the Alexander Schultz-Nietzschen type moment, asking will we burn later in the camps, wishing we'd done something.
02:15:57.000And now, three months ago, the Army document came out for re-education centers.
02:16:01.000The Army admitted in a press release that our document was real, but that we shouldn't have it.
02:16:06.000And another public document for gun confiscation during crises.
02:16:35.000Because we've always had different corrupt elites and things, but there was still an understanding, even for the ultra wealthy and powerful, That you want checks and balances going back to Magna Carta because other elites can come in and rob you and that nobody wants to live in a society that's not free.
02:16:52.000I mean, free societies are more productive, they're happier, they're better.
02:16:57.000What has happened to the ruling class that they're going, I mean...
02:17:05.000I mean, this is... I mean, earlier in the shorter segment, I'd like you to recap that.
02:17:08.000You pointed out you've covered a lot of historical events that happened as they happened.
02:17:12.000This is one of the nastiest, most scientifically crafted, over-the-top... I mean, so many things that are in 1984 have now been surpassed.
02:17:22.000And now they're getting ready for the physical roundups.
02:17:25.000I don't think people understand, who haven't looked at history like you and others have, just how dark it is, is my point.
02:17:31.000Yeah, I mean, in the language of patriotism, these people are traitors.
02:17:35.000And that's the difference, as you point out, between the older ruling elite, and I come out of the working class, they were certainly no friends to working men and women, frankly, but they cared about the sustenance of the nation.
02:17:50.000It, in the language of business, is quite willing to harvest the nation.
02:17:53.000That's how you've seen manufacturing jobs shipped overseas, and you look at labor conditions in southern China where Apple products, I mean all sorts of products that we buy are made, and it's out of Dickinsonian England.
02:18:07.000You know, 70-hour work weeks, abusive conditions, you know, no labor protection, and what they tell now.
02:18:16.000We're Foxconn that Apple uses while being lectured by Al Gore here domestically.
02:18:36.000You know, what happens is when they don't meet their quotas, and there's a good book by a Berkeley sociologist who's of Chinese origin, a Wendt wrote about it, Wendt wrote about these conditions.
02:18:49.000When they don't meet their quotas, and they don't make the profits, there are workers who will work and actually not be paid.
02:18:55.000And at the end of the month, they will climb up to the roofs of these overcrowded dormitories and jump off and commit suicide.
02:19:05.000And that's the world that these corporations have created.
02:19:08.000And that's the difference between the old robber barons, the Rockefellers, the Mellons, the Carnegies, and the new robber barons, who are quite willing to sacrifice the nation, indeed are, for profit.
02:19:21.000When they do their speculative gambling on Wall Street, and their bubbles crash, they loot the U.S.
02:19:27.000Treasury, and then they make the rest of us pay for it through austerity programs.
02:19:31.000I see the same thing in Europe, because, of course, it's a global corporate movement, so that when Papandreou in Greece announces, OK, you want austerity, I'm going to put it to a referendum, he's gone within a week, and he's replaced with a banker technocrat that is essentially pliable and a puppet.
02:19:53.000Of the banks and of the corporate interests.
02:20:00.000And these essentially narrow oligarchic corporate forces, we see it.
02:20:06.000They make all their money here and then they move overseas so they don't have to pay any taxes.
02:20:10.000Well, they're moving to armored redoubts on Pacific Islands, and admitting they are, and they're bragging that they're converting us to a tyranny, and training the police that we're their enemy.
02:20:20.000I mean, this is a nightmare scenario, and the attitude is, Americans are uppity.
02:20:27.000We're going to bring you down, we're going to cut you down to size, while lecturing people who are on welfare because they've destroyed the jobs base, while they are the biggest recipients of corporate welfare contracts, bailouts, and then in Europe, I've looked at the numbers, almost all the real debt is owed by the big zombie banks, and they've done this trick of convincing everyone that the Europeans are lazy, and now today they're reporting that they want Greeks to work six-day work weeks
02:20:56.000And then most of the money is to be paid to the bankers that Greece is having to hand their islands over to.
02:21:05.000And, you know, they will... Corporations know only one word, and that's more.
02:21:12.000And they are going to push and push and push.
02:21:14.000You know, like all sort of elites that have unplugged themselves from the reality around them, they're woefully out of touch with what most Americans are undergoing.
02:21:24.000And it is always the ruling elites that finally determine the parameters and configurations of revolt and rebellion.
02:21:34.000And because they have not responded rationally, as the columnist Paul Krugman writes week after week, to both the economic and political crisis, it means that there will be a backlash.
02:21:45.000What exactly it will look like, How it will appear, when it will appear, I don't know.
02:21:50.000I've covered, you know, revolutions in Eastern Europe, uprisings in Palestine, the war in Yugoslavia.
02:21:56.000But I do know, especially having spent the last two years on this book, in the poorest pockets of the United States, without any question, that it's coming.
02:22:06.000And the establishment knows that and is making preparations for it, I think, to use that crisis as a pretext to grab even more power.
02:22:14.000If you expand on this out into the future, what type of world do you think the ultra-rich, who are obviously monopoly capitalists, what type of world are they planning on building?
02:22:29.000In essence, a kind of feudal system, where you have a tiny, filthy rich, oligarchic elite, a small sort of core of corporate managers, public relations people, in essence propagandists, and then the rest of us hanging on by our fingertips.
02:22:46.000And, you know, interestingly enough, this completely replicates the political and economic structure that Orwell painted in 1984 with Oceana, where you had an inner party of 2% to 4%, an outer party of about 12% and the rest are what he calls proles.
02:23:03.000That's already, I mean, all you have to do is look out your window.
02:23:06.000I had a decaying infrastructure, closing schools, closing fire departments, you know, closing libraries, long-term unemployment and underemployment, coupled with, you know, this kind of constant sustenance of criminal enterprises.
02:23:25.000Goldman Sachs has bailed out every penny on the dollar by the American taxpayer, and now we give them, in essence, 0% interest loans so that they can gamble.
02:23:51.000Expanding on this, I went and saw Dinesh D'Souza's film, the 2016 Obama's America, and they were saying that Obama was anti-colonialist, when really, I see this as a new colonialism, where it's these mega-banks and mega-elites that are destroying the nation states that were the old cores of the empire, not just exploiting the third world.
02:24:16.000They've brought the cancer home, but then they spin it that Obama is an anti-colonialist, and so that's why he's doing what he's doing.
02:24:37.000And, you know, just to go back to your point earlier about the militarization of police, you know, I think when you look at the war on, the so-called war on drugs, you see the portal, the way they entered it, so that if there's a night raid now in Oakland, You have Kevlar-plated command helicopters, command centers, people dressed in black, carrying M-16s.
02:25:02.000It looks no different from a night raid in Fallujah.
02:25:06.000And that's the point, that as the disintegration continues, the more brutal forms of control that are used on the outer reaches of Empire migrate back to the heart of Empire.
02:25:20.000And the megacorporations then plan to even implode the old homelands, and then just have a giant squalor that they rule over from private, heavily armed doubts and cities, and that's now even their admitted plan, the Rand Corporation is saying.
02:25:40.000It sounds like something the devil would come up with.
02:25:43.000Yeah, and you have corporations like Bechtel buying up all the clean water.
02:25:48.000In Chile and other places because they know that pretty soon water, you know, water for most of us will be contaminated.
02:25:55.000We'll have to pay for it, just like everything else.
02:25:57.000Yeah, I mean, they, you know, if you sit down inside the NSA or any other, their sort of analysis of where we're going is not going to be much different from yours or mine.
02:26:07.000It just doesn't make it out into the mainstream.
02:26:12.000They've got British Ministry of Defense reports, Pentagon reports, admitting a hellish world, and then if I cover it, the media calls it pessimism porn.
02:26:22.000Won't this be the defining moment when your case goes to the Supreme Court if they don't uphold the Constitution?
02:26:29.000I mean, this will be overthrowing Magna Carta, habeas corpus.
02:26:32.000I mean, this is probably one of the biggest cases ever.
02:26:35.000What is it like to be at the center of this?
02:26:38.000Well, it's sort of bizarre in a sense because I agree with you.
02:26:41.000I mean, it is, and the judge agrees with us, that this is just this amazing attempt to essentially strip us of the rule of law, of due process, and yet it doesn't get covered.
02:26:55.000Because both the Republicans and the Democrats are essentially beholden to corporate power and the security and surveillance state.
02:27:02.000I mean, this was a bipartisan effort, sponsored by Carl Levin and John McCain.
02:27:08.000And so because the media won't step outside these very narrow parameters, Which essentially stretch from A to B, that's what stunned me the most.
02:27:19.000How egregious the assault is, how naked the assault is, and how it's virtually uncovered.
02:27:25.000I mean, the New York Times did write a good editorial about it after the temporary injunction was issued, but, you know, if you look on the airwaves, it doesn't exist, and yet you have all these people sort of shouting about the Constitution and civil liberties and here in an Incredibly overt attempt to take away our right to trial.
02:27:54.000And now, I see a lot of conservatives going along with this, when the government's now said, don't worry about Al-Qaeda, and we're going to use them and others to take down Syria and Libyan places.
02:28:04.000But, you know, the new enemy is domestic threats, and they're out, like they've done with Muslims, provocateuring, you know, militia groups in Michigan and things, trying to get some type of civil war going so they can now target the American people as the enemy.
02:28:22.000You know, the American conservative just ran a long article called In Defense of Bradley Manning, raising precisely these points.
02:28:32.000And that's why I think that, you know, the political theater of the Republicans and the Democrats, you know, is really a kind of of mass money-drenched spectacle that diverts us from debating issues that I don't think, you know, really, you know, for anybody who cares about the rule of law and the democratic state, no matter what your political opinion is, there should be any divide on it Well, that's right.
02:29:23.000I will read it because, let me tell you, when I see Chris Hedges' videos online, he's focused, he knows what he's talking about, he's articulate.
02:30:01.000The worst drought in 50 years continues, and the first six months of 2012 marks the hottest half year on record.
02:30:07.00078% of the Midwest corn belt is in drought conditions.
02:30:10.000Not only corn, but soy, alfalfa, fruits, vegetables, and wheat are all impacted, raising prices.
02:30:16.000The cost to feed livestock is forcing farmers and ranchers out of business, blowing up your food prices.
02:30:21.000The only strategy to counter this is to freeze your food cost at today's prices by getting your own supply of foods or meat foods direct now.
02:30:28.000As the price of raw ingredients increases, eFoods will have to raise prices, too.
02:34:06.000But I wanted him to go over basically what the book covers because earlier he started mentioning that it's a reservation program.
02:34:14.000And I've interviewed a lot of Native Americans who've gone over the history.
02:34:18.000And they point out that Indian policy became what Hitler used, and I've actually read that in Hitler's own writings, that he used that model of the concentration camp off the reservation.
02:34:28.000The company store that keeps control of the people, keeps them in poverty, their life expectancy, and that that's the whole model now of this corporate state.
02:34:38.000Get rid of your jobs and then give you a pittance to barely even keep you at subsistence.
02:34:43.000Destroying destinies, destroying societies, So you can control them.
02:34:47.000And now the corporate state doesn't want even free market competition.
02:34:51.000It's coming in with regulations shutting down what's left of our industry.
02:34:55.000I mean, it's a cold-blooded, systematic, military-style takeover.
02:34:59.000So, Chris, break down your new book, which I can't wait to read, Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt.
02:35:19.000They, they make, uh, self-sufficiency impossible and create this kind of culture of dependence.
02:35:27.000Uh, which destroys dignity, self-worth, uh, community, uh, with all of the attendant problems.
02:35:34.000That's why you have an 80% estimated, 80% alcoholism rate on Pine Ridge.
02:35:40.000Uh, and everywhere we went, whether it was Camden, whether it was, uh, Southern West Virginia, where people are taking OxyContin, what they call Hillbilly Heroin, uh, you know, they The sort of drugs and the alcohol anesthetize people to the kind of pain and the suffering to which they have been reduced.
02:36:01.000And I think the reservation model is, in fact, one that we spent a lot of time reporting on and looking at for precisely that reason.
02:36:10.000You know, when you reduce people to a level of desperation, it becomes far easier to control them.
02:36:20.000I mean, you know, just all sorts of, just in the last few weeks, the refusal to restore unemployment benefits for hundreds of thousands of Americans, which means tens of thousands of these people will eventually lose their homes, a number now over six million.
02:36:37.000You know, there's just, Obamacare is another example.
02:36:43.000It's a corporate, essentially the equivalent of a bank bailout bill for the pharmaceutical And I've got to interrupt.
02:37:01.000See, you're the only scholar out there on the so-called left, but you're just a human who wants freedom, who's honest that the insurance companies wrote it, and then the right wing gives Obama cover and goes, He goes, how dare you want to make us commies when the whole thing was written to let corporations control the quality of care, make you buy their product and jack up the price.
02:37:47.000And that is a kind of window into the kind of false debates that go back and forth, because both of these two political parties are slavishly devoted to corporate interests.
02:38:01.000Obamacare is essentially forcing us to buy defective Corporate product, a for-profit product.
02:38:16.000I think it's just this understanding that the formal mechanisms of power are not going to Defend civil liberties or our interests or institute the kinds of reforms that will bring back the kind of egalitarian society that I think we all want.
02:38:34.000That now resistance has to come outside those formal mechanisms of power.
02:38:39.000That means acts of civil disobedience.
02:38:41.000I was arrested with Occupy protesters in front of Goldman Sachs.
02:38:45.000Going to jail is more time than I care to donate to the federal government, but I don't think we have any option left.
02:38:53.000And I'm not naive enough to even promise you that it will work.
02:38:58.000But I can tell you that the system is so corrupt.
02:39:01.000You know, you take New York City police and you look closely, most of the egregious assaults against protesters were carried out by the white-shirted officers who are earning about $110,000 a year.
02:39:13.000There was a lot of fraternization with the blue uniform police because These corporations hire them, like Goldman Sachs and Citibank, as rent-a-cops for private security for $37 an hour in their off time so they can, you know, make some money.
02:39:28.000Well, Goldman Sachs gave them, what was it?
02:39:30.000It was some giant amount of money the week before as a pure gift right to the police, a public bribe.
02:39:40.000I mean, and I think, you know, when I cover the fall of East Germany, what happens is when the foot soldiers are no longer willing to defend the elite, you know, when Erich Honecker, the dictator in East Germany, sent down an elite paratroop division to Leipzig, where I was, and they wouldn't fire on the crowd, Honecker lasted another week in power.
02:39:58.000And I think that, you know, in fact, Well, part of the reason, I'm guessing, that the NDAA was pushed through, I think, is because there's a kind of fear among these corporate oligarchs that the police won't protect them.
02:40:13.000Well, that's one of my final questions here.
02:40:16.000I want to know what else is in the book so people will definitely get it because your ideas are right on from my own research but so well laid out.
02:40:25.000I'll guarantee you that if things continue to implode, the people they know that aren't going to shut up and go along are people like Chris Hedges, people like Alex Jones, people that they know are controlled by conscience.
02:40:38.000Not because I'm some goody-two-shoes, but because I don't want to live in a fascist state.
02:40:42.000I mean, I want my children to have a future, and they're really trying to set the precedent For this, as they force people into a revolt, kind of arresting and, which they admit, scooping up people that they see as leaders.
02:40:57.000Yeah, and I think that once you create that legal mechanism that essentially permits or gives to the state that kind of power, then you're in really serious trouble.
02:41:07.000They use it on marginal elements within the society first, Muslims, black bloc anarchists, whatever, militia members, but you don't want to give them that kind of legal power, which unfortunately we've already done.
02:41:20.000Because they use the sort of fringe elements as a way to justify that kind of power, and then they turn it on the rest of us.
02:41:40.000It seems like the world is kind of waking up to the fact that the United States has been seized by very evil forces.
02:41:48.000Yeah, I mean, you know, I was quite an opponent of the invasion of Iraq on that issue, and I had been the Middle East Bureau Chief of the New York Times, because, you know, it was not only, you know, a tactical blunder, but probably one of the most strategic blunders we made in essence throwing the balance of power to Iran.
02:42:09.000Yeah, I think that, unfortunately, you know, we don't have a lot of friends left because of, I think, very misguided imperial projects that, again, of course, I mean, the war in Afghanistan, which, let's be frank, we're losing.
02:42:25.000You know, there are a handful of corporations, Halliburton and Raytheon and on and on and on, for whom they make money in all wars.
02:42:36.000Could the Anglo-American establishment kind of stall and not have a Berlin Wall moment but just kind of collapse like the Soviet Union?
02:42:58.000These are questions that I ask all the time, but I don't have a definitive answer.
02:43:04.000Well, I think they're going to try to go Hitler crazy and launch a bunch of wars that are so bad, everybody kind of lines up because we're in so much trouble.
02:43:12.000Well, yeah, the government's corrupt, but we're, you know, fighting Russia and China now, so let's line up.
02:43:19.000I mean, I think the elite are that crazy, and the way they're digging in, the way they're getting everything ready, looks like they're gearing up for World War III at a scale much bigger than the Cold War.
02:43:30.000The COG, the armored pillboxes, the weapons caching, studying history, Chris, in closing.
02:43:36.000I'm not just trying to be a fearmonger here, I'm scared.
02:43:39.000I mean, I've studied history, I'm a history buff, and they're digging in for what looks like not just a war with the people, but a war with everybody else.
02:43:47.000Well, you know, that's as Randolph Bourne said in World War I. He said war is the health of the state, by which he meant that when the state declares war, you're right, everybody lines up behind it, you know, in the name of patriotism and everything else.
02:44:02.000And it is a very effective measure, as it was in World War I, to essentially crush any form of dissent.
02:44:09.000I mean, history has shown that to be a very effective tactic for despotic states to channel Well, hopefully your book will wake people up, and I know it's got amazing illustrations in it.
02:44:29.000Tell us a little bit about the book that you haven't covered and about the cartoonists that you worked with.
02:44:34.000Yeah, this is Joe Sacco, who is an amazing reporter in his own right, does whole graphic novels that he reports out.
02:44:46.000And I think one of the reasons I found him so important in the book, 50 pages of illustrations, as well as comic panels sort of profiling people's lives, is that so many of these Americans by the corporate media have been rendered invisible.
02:45:01.000And I think one of the goals of the book was to make them visible, and Sacco did that, gave the book a kind of punch that pure prose wouldn't have had.
02:45:27.000I mean, looking into that crystal ball, what's our odds?
02:45:30.000I think it looks pretty bleak, but I don't think we can use the word hope unless we actively resist every way possible, which is why I was in protest outside Goldman Sachs, why I sued Barack Obama and Leon Panetta over the NDAA.
02:45:48.000I think it's a kind of moral imperative to resist, but at the same time, a very sort of sober view, it doesn't look great.
02:47:27.000And, you know, Obama is not anti-colonialist.
02:47:30.000Colonialism became what you call globalist.
02:47:33.000And then the right-wing packages anti-colonialist as communist when the communists are actually running their own form of collectivist colonialism that then implodes and is taken over by the bankers.
02:47:44.000I mean, we're facing such a sophisticated situation.
02:47:47.000People say, well, are you for Occupy or against it?
02:47:49.000The globalists talked about Occupy because their computers We're able to predict that there would be flare-ups at that moment against the banks, and that people knew that the banker bailouts were a corporate transference of wealth from the people to the elite.
02:48:51.000And what people don't get is, well, I don't care if I'm in a police state, I want cops and guys with machine guns on every corner, because it's for Al Qaeda.
02:48:58.000But see, it's not for Al Qaeda now, it's for you.
02:49:01.000And it's because they're planning to take your bank account.
02:49:05.000They're planning to devalue your dollar.
02:49:07.000They're planning to take your pension fund.
02:49:09.000And I don't mean the government pension fund.
