The Alyona Show 1/04/12
Tonight we'll speak to the founder of the Alternative Banking Group. People keep saying that the Occupy movement isn't offering any real solutions, well this group of bankers, traders and lawyers, wants to help. Then, Glenn Greenwald joins us to discuss the notion that America supports Democracy in the Arab World. We heard it a million times during the Arab Spring, but is the jig finally up? Also the Taliban have announced that they'll be opening a political office in Qatar. The US will reportedly release a few Taliban commanders from Guantanamo Bay in return in hopes of negotiations. So are we really getting close to the end and is this a breakthrough, or more of a cave? And then don't miss happy hour.
MSM: Real People Speak on Elex
The results of Iowa's primary are in, with Romney taking the lead by only by 8 points, Santorum coming in second and Ron Paul in 3rd. But even when the mainstream media devotes all of their resources, all of their time to a single topic, they rarely ever provide any information or analysis of any value. They rarely discuss the issues that matter most to average Americans. So we went out to Occupy DC today to get their take on Iowa, on our political system overall, and of course, on the mainstream media.
Romney represents 'worst aspects of capitalism'
The Alternative Banking Group, considered a branch of Occupy Wall Street, includes current and former investment bankers, traders and even lawyers for the securities industry who want to offer their services and diverse ideas to the movement to help bring about real change. So can the group help the movement offer up some concrete demands? Carne Ross, founder of the Alternative Banking Group for Occupy Wall Street discusses.
Greenwald: 'US can only suppress democracy for so long'
Remember coverage of the Arab Spring, of Tahrir Square, and you'd get the impression that there's nothing they want more than for all peoples' of the world to live in freedom and equality. Only problem is no matter how the media tries to spin it, Democracy in the Arab world is the last thing that our foreign policy establishment wants. Salon's Glenn Greenwald weighs in.
You said it, I read it: #NDAA Poem
Alyona takes the time to respond to some of her viewer comments. We spoke about most of the media's utter disinterest with the National Defense Authorization Bill signed by Obama including a provision allowing for the indefinite detention of Americans. But in a signing statement, he assured the American people his administration would not use the provision. Take a look at what some of our dissatisfied viewers had to say. Next, is from a viewer who watched our Tool Time on Rick Santorum's statements that contraception is "a license to do things in a sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be." Plus more from our viewers.
US to Release GITMO Detainees to Taliban?
Afghan President Hamid Karzai and the Taliban announced that the Taliban would be opening a political office in Qatar, approved by Karzai, where the US hopes to engage in negotiations. According to the Guardian, in exchange, the US is ready to release high ranking Taliban officials from Guantanamo Bay. Matthew Hoh director of the Afghanistan Study Group discusses.
Tool time: Activist Fights for Bullies Rights!
David Fowler is a former GOP state senator for Tennessee and an activist who wants to protect people's bigoted views on homosexuality and now wants to propose a bill that would amend a current anti-bullying law in Tennessee. But rather than crack down on bullying, he wants to create a loophole in the current legislation. The bill would protect those who are bullying based on their religious, philosophical, or political beliefs so as long as the person who's doing the bullying isn't actually a physical threat to the victim, then that person would have the right to belittle another person because they're practicing religious freedom.
Happy Hour: Ron Paul Supporter Censored by CNN?
RT's Kristine Frazao and Townhall's Kevin Glass join happy hour to talk about a new Iowa video that's trying to prove people in Iowa are cool, CNN cutting off a soldier who was praising Ron Paul, an Obama, Mars conspiracy theory, and the ACLU wants West Virginia country to stop funding "Jesus Fest".
