I'm a simple man, I see Jeremy Scahill, I "like" the video
Scahill is an exceptional journalist. The best insights about US terrorism around the world.
Imagine what American journalism would be like if people could see this kind of conversation happening on any of the major networks.
We don't jail bankers. That is the problem hands down.
Happy Gilmore 💯
just heard on NPR (National Propaganda Radio) they're doing a piece soon where the architects of the 2008 bailout such as Tim Geithner are coming on the program to lie saying the bailout "wasn't done to save Wall Street but to save the American people". NPR is horseshit now
...or politicians.

With the exception of Ira Glass...horseshit is right.
Scahill is a towering figure of sanity in these insane times
exactly!
DB Cooper Where's the money DB? ✌😎
@Nordic Natural Finally someone with a Brain Cell commenting here . Amy knows who did 911 as well , She was down there filming before building 7 went down and heard them count it down. She did an interview the very next day and admits they knew building 7 was about to come down seconds before it did and then there was a count down . Now she avoids questions about it .Not sure if the Video is Still on here
Holy shit, John Bolton on one side and Pompeo on the other whispering in Trumps ears - this is a really scary thought.
Sanjiv H Why. Trump makes nevertheless his decision completely Independent. Hard Lesson, all the Snake tongues have had to learn, yet
I agree with everything Jeremy Scahill has said for the past ten years.
S Brown
*Many are beginning to doubt their plans to overthrow the U.S. Government!*
*THIS IS A COUP BY THE CONSERVATIVE POLITICIANS THAT'S PULLING TRUMP'S STRINGS.*
*FOX PERSONALITIES ALONG WITH CNN ARE MEMBERS OF THIS GROUP TOO.*
ALL MEDIA OWNED BY A CERTAIN FEW PEOPLE. ?
This was played out over 45 years or more.
Another reason why we never should have career Politicians.
As much as I appreciate his excellent analysis, I wish he wasn't always correct with his predictions too.
S Brown Thats because you are a Sheep
@@kevintipcorn6787 Such as ? What predictions , name one ?
Thank you Democracy Now as usual.
Unbelievable , Thanking someone for feeding you Propaganda . Wake Up
Well, mr scahill was absolutely right, trump just fired McMaster.
terriej123 nope
Pompeo is looking like he's cruising for a heart attack! Go Mike, go!
I hope that Jeremy goes straight to Mueller and gives evidence against Erik Prince.
8alot4t - Prince seems arrogant enough to do that
Thank god for Scahill!
Very late to this article, and I have just found Mr Scahill.
Excellent conversation, and I have learnt so much.Thankyou.
all the problems of the world point to one direction. money. if people follow the money and who makes it. they will find the root of all problems.
its all about the money, follow it to find the true motives.
Thank you. I have been saying this for many years. Arab nationalism and Muslim secularism ended with the invasion of Somalia and Iraq. The pandora box will not close in our lifetime.
Henke Ria
I don’t think so. People in the Middle East will tell you American invasions made them”better Muslims”.
Honor
Arab secularism died in the 70s and 80s. And Somalia was never invaded.
31 Knots elected nationalist were overthrown by the CIA but the dictators that were installed were secularist. CIA supplied weapons to Somalia rebels that overthrow the secular functioning government.
Love Scahill. Great interview.
This was so great ! Thanks guys !
Erick Prince runs a Chinese based African resource extraction security firm? Gotta research this.
Thank you for your contribution to the world Mr Steve
This is why I love hearing Scahill and his thoughts because this guy actually does the research and knows the connections in and out. He's very through on his work and he knows the corruption runs deep in those circles.
Jeremy is amazing He tells stories no one else shares and has inside information that the media does not broadcast.
Awesome interview.
Jeremy Scahill is way-cool.
I wonder if we'll be here in December... 😕
It’s great to gear Jeremy’s POV. It’s shame DN sold out to corporate money snd sold it’s credibility.🙊😩🐸
One of the best sites for great news,Im from Ireland but love US news.Bill x
I have said it since almost the beginning that money laundering is the real crime. David Kay Johnston has had this locked down for awhile.
Awesome guest.
Great points about inflating expectations for "Trump collusion" backfiring.
Thank you!
Holy shit. Watching this 4 years after the fact and I swear this man has a crystal ball. He was completely right on 99% of his predictions.
Scahill is a friggin' hero.
Trump had to pull some strings to get this many mental patients released to his care.
Things are only going to get worse as trump has to dig deeper into his swamp scum to find replacements.
Jeremy called it Amy. Bolton is in! wow just wow!! Great work Amy!!
are we surprised at all this roy cohn was Trump's mentor! McCartheism in a different form
Scahill was underplaying Russian election meddling a year ago, even mocking those who wanted to investigate. Now he says there's definitely something there, but money crimes are more significant.
Russians inserting themselves in our political process is pretty important to me and has affected my life more than Trump's financial crimes. I say these two things converge and can be investigated & prosecuted concurrently.
Carol McKee there was less evidence then. I encourage you to look up the intercept article showing the shockingly large number of stories claiming evidence of Russian attacks on the electric grid, state voting systems, and on and on that they completely retracted, usually without an apology and with as little attention as possible. It’s possible for mainstream media to wildly hype and overstate things, naively believe the word of intelligence agencies when they produce no evidence AND also have legitimate reporting, investigation, facts. That is the case with Russia. The absurd idea that relatively tiny groups of trolls, and RT, one of the lowest rated cable news channels managed to have significant influence on the election is a shameless and obvious lie when those same channels were responsible for giving trump billions of dollars in free coverage and covering policy than less ever before. Btw RT employs such notorious Putin shills as Larry king, ed Schultz, thom Hartmann and others. They tend towards anti-imperialist hosts which fits with Russia’s interests but hasn’t the slightest bearing on the legitimacy of that standpoint. Many of us are anti-imperialist and deeply critical of Russia.
Carol McKee to be clear I think there has been mounting evidence that points to Russian collusion but obviously it hasn’t been proven yet. It’s wildly unlikely Russia swung the election and few serious peolle claim that. The evidence suggesting financial crimes is the strongest, and may have just as much influence on your life if it means they have leverage over trump and thus US policy.
Point is there’s tons of lies and bullshit and bad reporting about Russia from reputable sources, and plenty of good reporting. Most of the good reporting hadn’t happened a year ago. Many of the claims that have been made have already been debunked and more almost certainly will be. There will also almost certainly be more good reporting and evidence. Nothing is black and white👌
Russia having leverage over US foreign policy would've been a great thing, then trump wouldn't invade Iran, or perhaps even be in Syria today, destabilizing the region.
"Russia having leverage over US foreign policy would've been a great thing"
said no baltic person ever.
so u prefer that the entire middle east gets ruined then? there's not even proof of the baltics getting invaded, but plenty of preemptive nato provocation against russia.
Chinese, Russian and American consortiums are already doing business together. They have been doing business for some time now. China is heavy into Afghanistan for its mineral wealth. Russia has significant if not the largest oil and gas reserves on the planet. America provides the enforcement talent for this operation.
China Prepares To Launch Its Gold Convertible Petro-Yuan March 26, 2018: The Chinese government announced plans last year to start a crude oil futures contract priced in yuan and convertible into gold. The contract will enable the country’s trading partners to pay with gold or to convert yuan into gold without the necessity to keep money in Chinese assets or turn it into US dollars.
2 of the best
Pompeo will not even speak to Russia I bet. He will be an isolationist
It is not the figurehead of the ship that is the problem as disappointing as its visage might be...rather it is the system which promoted such a figure in the first place , a system that is outside of accounting
that Eric Prince is using former child soldiers from africa in war in middle east.
could be good to know that....like if he wasn´t bad enough.
I used to love watching Democracy Now.
Not anymore...
The fact of the matter is we don't know how Mr. Tillerson will respond. He may very well breathe the greatest sigh of relief the nation has ever heard
Things can always get worse.
respect to jeremy
nailed it
Towards the end, Scahill says Bernie Sanders voted for regime change in Iraq, implying he voted for the 2003 Iraq War. That implication is incorrect. Sanders voted against the resolution to go to war In 2003.
He did vote in 1998 for a Clinton admin. resolution advocating for "regime change in Iraq".
It's unfair to paint the 1998 vote as his position, because after all, if America had listened to him, we would not have pulled the trigger.
-- Scahill is also trying to include Greenwald's tongue lashing of him, 8:15, don't point fingers at Russia until you see the evidence.
Overall a good talk. I just take two issues with his statements.
Prince is a super patriot..that's why he can work with China
Mark one idea here: the whole White House one big money laundry operation.
rewtnode yeah Insane, crazy
It looks like Trump and Pompeo could swap suits without a problem. On a more serious note, there will be no solutions to the many problems of US politics without major campaign finance reform (modest personal contribution limits, no corporate money, and some public money) and much better voter turnout. An old professor of mine once said that choosing representatives by a lottery system would cure many of these evident problems. At the time I thought he was crazy, but 30 years later I'm thinking he may have been onto something. Of course, none of this will happen, and yet 300,000,000 weapons are in the hands of an electorate increasingly impoverished and alienated. It could be that nothing will happen for years, and then suddenly everything will change, and not necessarily for the better. Have a great day everyone.
Why is your show called the War and Peace report?
Bolton would have to shave that mustache off, if he wants to be Director of the NSA. That's why Trump hadn't chosen him for a cabinet post before. He's on the record saying as such.....
I DONT FEEL WELL THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG
Must clone Jeremy Scahill and deploy him in mass numbers to all news outlets.
I was hopeful with bringing Kinzer on to talk about U.S. meddling/Imperialism, Democracy Now was coming to her senses! Alas! Scahill claimed what just now?!
"Russia made efforts to penetrate elections with software companies" that still doesn't mean anything
If Trump brings in Bolton then we know he is 100% sellout.
Eagle ASE you still believe that trump is not a sell out, even if he has not brought in Bolton. I guess you still have faith in trump. I applaud you for believe in fantasy.
if a president is knocked off, can the next president pardon the person that did the knocking?
gargargargary: unfortunately yes.
gargargargary that would probably depend on their political leanings. 🤨
gargargargary I
gargargargary first thing Gerald Ford did when he became president was pardon Richard Nixon who should have went to jail
Yes but don't worry I believe Obamas going to be prosecuted for weaponizing FBI using the IRS against his political opponents Obama is very corrupt
SORRY FOR ALL THE WINGING BUT RIGHT NOW IM ON MY WAY OUT
Jerimy is a point on
ITS A CYCLE LIKE YOU HAVE CYCLES IN CYCLES
IT COULD BE MADE INTO SOMETHING BEAUTIFULL IF THE THING THAT IS WRONG IS WHAT I THINK IT IS PEOPLE HAVE TO WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE
Jeremy schooled Amy on some of this russia/new-cold-war crap. Thank you. Now someone needs to get Amy and DN in touch with Eva Bartlett and/or Vanessa Beeley, independant western journalists for some truth about Syria and the white helmets. DN brags about all their outlets and it's next to impossible to communicate with them.
p craig Jeremy started his career as a journalist with his internship with DN under Amy. So how do you school someone who helped him start your career to become the journalist he is today. Maybe DN is not perfect , but it is a handful of few outlets for genuine news today. This is where I get my news about what's really happening in the world and in my country. Thank you
Aditi, "how do you school someone who helped him start your career..." ? You inform them about something they are misinformed about. I'm concerned because i've been with DN from the start and I'm STILL with them. I thought Jeremy was very respectful and gave Amy plenty to think about. I'm familiar with Jeremy's history and Aaron Mate at the Real news as well.
Why always Africa?
Emeka Kanu CorporateMilitaryWarProfiteers Control Resources
I NEED MEDICAL ATTENTION
Eric Prince wants to be viceroy of Afghanistan, sounds like the Star Wars movie. If john Bolton replaces Mcmasters that is a scary proposition.
Secret trips and contracts are never good ..lots of derivatives among different ideologies
Helping china get natural recourses out of Africa......is not illegal.
Hahahaaaaah haha...
Great job crimson napes.
Scahill is full of it as usual
You need a new intro jingle guys
Academi v AFRICOM.
I'd watch that movie.
#Israelgate
it's time for a la Brea tarpit to envelope the neocons
I still say Saddam Hussein in Iraq was like Marshal Tito in Yugoslavia: He kept a lid on everything. When you removed those lids those 2 situations exploded. If we didn't want Shiite/ Iranian influence to be dominant in Iraq why in the world did we get rid of Saddam? I'm sure many Iraqis (both Shiite and Sunni) remember fondly the days of Saddam's rule which though brutal allowed for women e.g. to become highly educated and occupy important jobs.
Hehe. He describes the figures well. But he is Not able to see the chessboard beneath. I See it. Trump is brillant.
'money laundering'..Trump ya think
On the spot and correct. But it is fooreign policy and military policy directed bt people that use supposition as the real situation. Saddam was chosen by Israel after the leaders of Iraq and Syria decided to make one country that would be the center of a United Arab Republic that Iseawl will no tolerate, Israel says it will deal with each each Arab bation at a time. But Iarael lies like annexing Golan Heights as always belonging to Israel but it was the source of water for Damascus qhuxh ucwe fivw thousand years old lo existed. ng before Israel.
It won't be Bolton. He doesn't look the part. Trump likes people who look the part. Bolton has a big mustache. Plus Trump wouldn't like Bolton's toupee.
i need short term medical treatment im a player no matter how compromised i am
