of charges is this designed to intimidate those. who are advocates for p.c.'s of opponents of the u.n. his policy because of c.d.c. is eating as i've seen c.s.n. vest as and when the king and his assets and in the case of max actually thought well in a green just as all. well it's not the only one. in the green just so it's not the only one and altered alternative media here in the nation's capital and altered alternative media here in the nation's capital. and some something that could count on to again in seems seems strange these to me to me i'm never no legal legal experts perper but maybe it fits in with what else you've been saying as i understand blumenthal was denied the call to a lawyer it fits in with what else he'd been saying as i understand blumenthal was denied the call to a lawyer while in jail and i thought that was like you know thunder fundamental

right right the. well not only that he was denied a right to call anyone i mean it's a legal right you have not only that he was denied a right to call anyone i mean it's a legal right you have a right if arrested to make a call he was denying that a right if arrested to make a call he was denying that also if this warrant was 6 months old it ought they had . called this warrant was 6 months old if they had said if they had called me x. blumenthal and said it was a woman mark for a doctor relevant assess he dresses and said what he likes the created by your other rep with us he has say he has stated publicly i would have been led to come to the police station turn myself in been arraigned i would have been led to come to the police station turn myself in been arraigned but instead they raided his home in this like swat style yellow but instead they raided his home in this like

swat style yellow ray at 9 o'clock in the morning police all around the house ray at 9 o'clock in the morning police all around the house coming into the house taking him to a jail cell putting him in shackles coming into the house taking him to a jail cell putting him in shackles wrists and ankles tied tightly in chains in shackles and catch wrists and ankles tied tightly in chains in shackles and kept in jail for 2 days i mean we were in the court room the next day for 8 hours in jail for 2 days i mean we were in the court room the next day for 8 hours waiting for him to be arraigned and they were a prisoner after powers waiting for him to be arraigned and they were arraigned prisoner after prisoner after prisoner this is clearly designed to send

a message there is no after prisoner this is clearly designed to send a message to him. dependent journalists which is basically shut out basically don't challenge independent journalists which is basically shut out basically don't challenge the dominant narrative of the of the u.s. government which is echoed sort of so far as the dominant narrative of the of the u.s. government which is echoed sort of so fervently by the mainstream media it's a message it won't work max were brutally by the mainstream media it's a message it won't work max blumenthal is innocent he's not a buyout he's not compromised he's not intimidated blumenthal is innocent he's not a buyout he's not compromised he's not intimidated and he will win this case but this is a dangerous assault against the 1st immediate and he will win this case but this is a dangerous assault against the 1st amendment again you know whatever anybody

thinks about the innocence or guilt amendment. again we know whatever anybody thinks about the innocence or guilt of max i think a lot of people will find it very strange the response of the authorities a max i think a lot of people will find it very strange the response of the authorities to talking what half a year after something allegedly happened and according to the police report they have talking what half a year after something allegedly happened and according to the police report they had all this information going back for months they wait many many months and then usenet all this information going back for months they wait many many months and then use what would appear to me to be a very heavy over the top heavy handed response sending in what would appear to me to be a very heavy over the top heavy handed response sending in multiple offices to raid him in this way for this crime multiple offices to raid him in this way for this claim of assault i mean if you've heard of incidents like this is that usually the

response that comes even of a sort of i mean you've heard of incidents like this is that usually the response that comes. well you know i don't think so i mean there is a growing sense well you know i don't think so i mean there is a growing censorship against independent and alternative media in the united states but this is a ship against independent in alternative media in the united states but this attack i'm explants all of this is salt on his home this keeping him in attack on max blumenthal this is salt on his home this keeping him in jail for 2 days shackled completely shackled not just with hands in jail for to be a shackled completely shackled not just with handcuffs wrists shackled as well and not allowing him to call a lawyer doing house risk shackled as well and not allowing him to call a lawyer doing all of this when it could have easily been if the police wanted to

just to invite him to come in all of this when it could have easily been if the police wanted to just to invite him to come to the police station and be turned in it's clearly political it is and to the police station and returned it it's clearly political it is a message not only to max blumenthal but to all the other independent journalism message not only to max blumenthal but to all the other independent journalists who are trying to be telling telling the truth to be able to say looks who are trying to be telling telling the truth to be able to say look we're not going to simply accept the u.s. government narrative about we're not going to simply accept the u.s. government narrative about all things in its foreign policy this is the u.s. government using a heavy hand to things in its foreign policy this is the u.s. government using a heavy hand to try to repress max blumenthal to intimidate him and to intimidate

others using trying to repress max blumenthal to intimidate him and to intimidate others using the policy. this to happen somewhere else so this wasn't know if this was writers or if this was in caracas venezuela the corporate media would be all about this story is in caracas venezuela the corporate media would be all about this story that strangely there are very. surprised at that at all but strangely they are very. surprised at that at all many thanks for joining me live this important thank you my guest national coordinator of the anti war many thanks for joining me live this evening brian thank you my guest national coordinator of the antiwar answer coalition. in other news for an answer coalition. in other news french police have arrested a 94 year old man suspected of attacking a mosque in the southwest of the country's police have arrested
