their is a street artists in new york city that has been arrested by officials
for doing access your call art
that basically pokes fun at surveillance society that we're living in right now
does assault attica and what he did is he
put hotkeys advertisements all throughout new york
and they feature it looks like it was put out by the n_y_p_d_'s but of course
it was it
and it features a drum strike
and a family running from andrew on strike so um...
this is something that actually got to have forensic teams and uh...
counter-terrorist officials involved
they finally found out who we wired and he did get arrested for this
now i wanna ask you guys in just a minute whether or not you feel that he
should have been arrested for this
uh... because
i'm wondering whether or not this type of
uh... activity can be considered political speech because he's making a
political statement about surveillance
and a police state that we're living in uh... before we get to that question i
want to show you guys a video
uh... where he did an interview with that
animal new york let's take a look
well for me it's router broke records search on roe versus aluminum across the
north to lure two
room streets or in slums involved with the broke the possibility of a bit more
to you all for our syndrome strove for the stars domestically i don't think
recover solutions resham mainstream or more we were talking about the suburban
return or whether we want this to take place
we'd love to remember that these are the voices were
word lowered our career used to
convertible
the wrong mission muscles
before going to reward caucus terrorists in short or control or foreign people
love to work revolution taught the role of the votes for cold you will go into
this courtroom
i want a lot of what he said there because
first of all when it comes to surveillance into when it comes to our
privacy rights being violated i often feel like people are
just not paying enough attention to it and we have companies like the right
thing
developing dv our second monitor what we're doing in our poll living rooms
so they can gather information about our habits and then sell it to advertisers
the no market advertisers
and some things like that i'm very problematic but those are stories that
don't really get a lot of attention
so you know i know that that
is a little different from police surveillance you know the n_y_p_d_ has
been uh... criticized for spying on muslims that were absolutely innocent
there was absolutely no probable cause in these situations but it didn't matter
anyway
so what he's talking about here is really really important work but what
are your thoughts came
he says he wants to do this to make
the drowns not necessarily
signed rounds but you know there is
john strikes are the most agreed it's ridiculous thing that nobody's really
talking about and i'm glad that he's putting out there and bring you tension
to it in
yeah definitely headed that that was head of the second part of what he was
discussing their
you can't expecting
fight terrorism abroad when your country is
being a terrace
when you are attacking when you're doing a signature strikes
when you're talking about you know killing
and you consider a collateral damage when you're killing these innocent women
children you don't know and at a wedding just celebrating a unique if people knew
how many innocent people died
how there's no codified system for winning jalan
in what he says we should use demonstrates they would be outraged so
that you and you really believe that the
well i feel like
it's outrageous
how little it's covered and how little
people seem to know in the mean streets
so there's a lot of coverage and i think that there's something wrong with that
uh... because like the mainstream media session to corporate media has been
uh... they have their own corporate interests at hand
so there are some stories that wolfgang enough coverage but then again at the
same time
media does
will cover stories that will get them the ratings
and i feel like oftentimes these international stories stories about what
we're doing a broad don't get the ratings i feel like the american uh...
you know armenians is not interested you what's happening abroad i'd know that
the majority of them wallace out of afghanistan they want the troops to come
home
but at the same time i feel like there's this
mentality out well at least that's not aspects of that
you know what we're looking for the terrorists are trying to catch tears
their you can't tonight there's a certain population of people out there
they're trying to decide the ties to what's happening abroad
and ages
will definitely but i_d_ applaud him for
resisting these trim even to surveillance transcriptions
we don't ever want to get into a point where we're ok with drones and then when
we have this conversation we just like you know it's fine
and has it
it's not fine and i don't make it's good for us to have an environment where
drones are commonplace terms are normal
so hut let's not watch the second part of his interview because he had a delves
into the details a little further so let's take a look
unscrew usually fossil through fool controls pimple wrote
grooming through
do whatever they want reforms were fourier
worker nodes drones or we used to
removed from solutions broken prosperous
coburn truly work so that i'm not sure were for or
who works for
though for people would propose that the people want political research into what
sort of sorts
alright ari apparently and his statements one hundred percent
and you know he he did get arrested for putting the street are not on hand
i'd understand why maybe it's the first of all you can't pretend like you're
part of the n_y_p_d_
uh... which is what he basically did with that with the logo in everything
but at the same time this is political speech that i agree with i don't know
the consequences will be and know that at this point he's been arrested
onslaught that you guys as we hear more information about that but i'd love that
there's someone out there that's fighting against uh... you know these
trellis rights that stop fighting against the surveillance the police
state that we're living in right now it's inspiring and and i'm the one
hundred percent in favor of raising awareness on these issues let the media
is not the kind that someone has to do it some way
exactly and this is brilliant yak
