Reality Struck: BBC's 'Goldman Sachs Rules' eye opener



Mainstream media is thrown into a tailspin after an independent trader tells the BBC how the world of big money and politics looks from the inside. Here's our report from Washington on why this was such an eye opener.

Noam Chomsky to RT: Bush torturer, Obama just kills



Pinning its hopes on the sole support of the US, Israel risks a collapse if it is ever withdrawn - much like apartheid-era South Africa, prominent scholar Professor Noam Chomsky warns. ­He recalls how South Africans felt safe to ignore a UN embargo and corporations pulling out of their country throughout the 1980s, as long as the Reagan administration continued to support them. As soon as the US withdrew its support, the apartheid regime collapsed. "For 35 years, the US and Israel have been rejecting a political settlement that is supported virtually by the entire world. A couple of months ago, there was a meeting of the oligarchs -- people who pretty much run the economy [of Israel]," Chomsky says, "and they warned the government that it better accept something like this resolution, because otherwise, Israel will be, as they put it, South Africanized: even more isolated, with boycotts, refusal to load ships, and their economy will collapse."

Illegal immigrants cash cow for corporations

Illegal immigration facilities have been increasing profits with anti-immigration laws. These same companies are asking for even tougher, stricter immigration bills to keep their facilities at capacity. Over 2 million Immigrants are being held captive in private prisons and these corporations get $45 to $130 per detainee. Marina Portnaya investigates.





While many American industries are slowing down, the private prison industry is booming. Much of that is attributed to their lobbying efforts, which some say create the condition for mass incarceration. The private prison lobby has had major influence in places like Florida, Arizona, Georgia, Utah and Alabama, states which have recently passed some of the strictest anti-immigrant policies. Policies, which would likely help fill those prison cells.

NATO recruiting jihadists to invade Syria



Across in Syria, at least four people were reportedly killed in crackdowns on anti-government protests on Sunday. The ongoing violence in the country has left more than two and a half thousand dead in the past few months. Moscow's stepping up its efforts to mediate a peaceful solution to the conflict. A team of Russian lawmakers is on the ground on a fact-finding mission in the country. They say Damascus appears to be committed to Democratic reform. The Kremlin is also circulating a draft resolution at the UN that's aimed at urging the warring sides towards dialogue. Moscow's approach rivals the U.S.-backed draft, which targets Damascus and urges President Assad to step down. Political analyst Michel Chossudovsky says the Russian delegation will have its hands full in Syria.

Trial of Destruction: Sarkozy sued for Libya crimes



(You may find some of the images in Daniel Bushell's report disturbing) In Libya, the volatile situation shows no sign of abating - a month after Colonel Gaddafi was ousted. The country's interim leaders are struggling to form a cohesive cabinet - while their forces are still locked in battle with Gaddafi's remaining supporters. The defiant loyalists are making a last stand in three key cities. Sirte, Bani Walid and Sabha have been under heavy assault for over a week, with reports Gaddafi and his sons could be hiding there. Meanwhile, the rest of Libya is reeling from months of civil war, which has left tens of thousands dead. Ongoing NATO airstrikes have also reportedly killed a number of civilians by mistake. But some Western leaders are now facing charges at home over their military intervention.

Profit from Punishment: Prison lobby locking 'n' loading up on cash

Afgans don't know about 9/11 - torturing and killing civilians





Investigative journalist Gareth Porter reports that 90% of "Taliban" captured by General David Petraeus were civilians. In December of 2010 Petraeus stated 4100 rank and file Taliban had been captured and 2,000 had been killed in 6 months. According to official US military data which was not publicized, what he didn't say was 80% of those were released within days of capture because they were found to be innocent civilians. Porter joins the show to explain.



General Petraeus lied when his command said that a total of 4,100 Taliban rank and file had been captured in the previous six months and 2,000 had been killed. It turns out that over 90% of the captured "rank and file Taliban" were released--80% within the first two weeks.

It's a troublesome sign when the man picked to lead the CIA has clearly been proven to be a false prophet who blatantly cooks the stats.

Civilian deaths in Libya: Rebels Nato killing



The no-fly zone over Libya remains in force as NATO and former rebels back the new leadership's push into the few remaining Gadaffi enclaves. Alliance airstrikes reportedly hit residential buildings in the town of Sirte, but the countries that were quick to condemn attacks by the Colonel's troops back in March, seem to have gone silent.

US biggest supporter of religious intolerance



The leaders of France and Britain travel to Tripoli on Thursday, in a show of support for the regime their warplanes helped put in power. On the eve of their visit, the head of the National Transitional Council asked for more weapons to fight pockets of Colonel Gaddafi's loyalists still in their strongholds. The rebel government thinks the ousted dictator is hiding in southern Libya and planning a fightback. However the new authority is asserting an increasing level of control over the country. The rebel government in Libya has a hard job ahead, with analysts warning that freedom and peace are a long way off. London based Middle East political analyst Dan Glazebrook told RT that with the new Libyan leadership Africa may face echoes of its colonial past.

War at Toss of Coin: US abuses power it no longer has



The decade that followed the 9/11 attacks was marked by wars fought under the flag of ridding the world of terrorists. Lawrence Wilkerson, ex-chief of staff to US Secretary of State Colin Powell, told RT that America thinks it holds an unchallengeable place in the world, and abuses the power it no longer has.

Jingoism & Revenge: 'US media integrity a 9/11 casualty'



The American "war on terror" is said to protect its people and the world from new terrorist threats. But experts believe it was an intentional attempt to foment nationalism, jingoism and revenge against the countries of the Muslim world. ­Bill Van Auken, a member of the international editorial board of the World Socialist Web Site, says there is no evidence America went to war in Iraq and Afghanistan to protect its people

Harvest of Hypocrisy? UK opium poppy farming kept hush-hush



The U.S.-lead 'war on drugs' in Afghanistan has been ongoing since the fall of the Taliban in 2001. Despite millions of dollars being spent on destroying crops, Afghanistan remains the world leader in opium-poppy production. But as RT's Laura Emmett discovered, the crackdown is having an adverse effect, with countries like the UK now forced to grow their own poppies to plug a shortage in pharmaceuticals.

Post-9/11 Crusade: How to win enemies and terrorize people



Security is being stepped up across the US following a terror threat on the eve of the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. American intelligence intercepted communications from an Al-Qaeda operative in Pakistan indicating plans for a vehicle bomb plot against New York City or Washington. As RT's Marina Portnaya reports, a decade on many U.S. citizens still feel vulnerable in their own country.

Gaddafi dumped, 'Al-Qaeda & CIA nested in new Libyan govt'



The security chief of ousted Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi has fled the country and is now in neighbouring Niger, according to officials there. Gaddafi wasn't said to be part of the convoy that crossed the border on Tuesday, while Burkina Faso has denied claims it's ready to provide asylum. Before the start of the anti-Gaddafi campaign, America's CIA and Britain's MI6 were allegedly sending terror suspects to Libya for interrogation and torture. The claims, based on diplomatic documents recently found in Libya, have sparked outrage. But anti-war activist Don DeBar says U.S. intelligence will always find a way to spin the story.

Double Deal: 'UK & MI6 made Gaddafi best pal, then pariah'



British Prime Minister David Cameron has called for an inquiry into claims that UK intelligence agents extradited terror suspects to Libya. The allegations surfaced after human rights groups in Tripoli found documents outlining MI6 and CIA rendition programmes.

UK foul play? 'Suicide' of Iraq weapons expert contested



The British government faces court action from a group of doctors over the death of weapons expert David Kelly in 2003. They're pushing for a new inquiry after the first reached a verdict of suicide. Kelly was behind a report showing Britain knew there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq before joining the invasion. And as RT's Laura Emmett found out, the evidence in the case isn't as clear as previously thought.

9/11 Legacy: Torture, rape & 'war of no boundaries'



In just a few days, the United States will be marking its greatest tragedy in half a century - the terrorist attacks on September 11th 2001. What followed was a decade of invasions, torture scandals and untold abuses on both sides. As we begin our special coverage of the anniversary, RT's Gayane Chichakyan takes a look at whether the past decade's made America any safer.

Freedom or Anarchy? 'Rebelution' leaves Libya in fear



Confrontation between Libyan rebels and pro-Gaddafi forces shows no sign of easing. Battles have been raging near the towns of Sirte and Bani Walid - two of the few remaning strongholds of the fallen regime. Forces loyal to the Colonel fired rockets from Bani Walid, where two of Gaddafi's sons are believed to be leading the armed resistence. That's despite the interim government seeking to negotiate a peaceful resolution. The deadline for Gaddafi loyalists to surrender has been extended to this Saturday. As for the Colonel himself, in his latest audio message the ousted leader claimed he was still in Libya and vowed he'd never leave his ancestors' homeland. Meanwhile life the Libyan capital still struggles after falling into rebel hands, with the celebratory mood quickly dampened by fears of anarchy setting in. Maria Finoshina is in Tripoli for RT.

What's 9/11? Afghans never heard of NYC terror



Images from 9/11 are still chilling, even 10 years after the attacks shook the world. They triggered the so-called war on terror. But in the country that's been at the forefront of that war, it can be hard to find people who remember why foreign troops arrived in the first place.
