Military Industrial Complex keeps wasting money

Seven men were sentenced in San Diego for reportedly admitting to involvement in a fraud and corruption scheme last week.

In the meanwhile, a video has been released showing contractors in Afghanistan partying, getting drunk and even shooting up on illegal narcotics.

Two Chinese telecommunication companies, Huawei and Zte, have attempted to expand into the United States. But in an age where cybersecurity is considered an emerging threat—and espionage an ever-present one—the US isn't exactly welcoming the foreign businesses with open arms. Congress has flagged both Huawei and Zte as security threats and is warning them against doing business in America. Tim Karr, senior director of strategy for FreePress, weighs in on what the likelihood of such a contract could be given Congress' constant warnings of an imminent cyberwar.

Walmart will soon be stocking their shelves with GMO corn developed by Monsanto despite of all the protests by activists. Millions of Americans shop at Walmart, but that doesn't mean that they all know what they're getting as they check out in shopping centers across the country.

Ever since industrial agriculture has started producing tomatoes, they have all started looking the same.

Blackwater changed its name, not habits

Blackwater changed its name, not habits

The firm formerly known as Blackwater - now Academi LLC- will be paying a 7.5 million dollar fine on top of its already 42 million dollar settlement reached regarding civil arms export violations. They recently admitted to wrongdoing in connection to 17 federal criminal charges and the funds that they will use to pay off those fines will come from already existing contracts from the Pentagon. So what seems to be an act of accountability boils down to a continued revolving door between defense contractors and the government - all amid the talks on how terrible it is to cut the Pentagon budget.

Detroit Fights Back

Detroit Fights Back

It's a city often described as post-apocalyptic. According to the FBI Detroit tops the list as one of the most dangerous places in America. Abandoned homes litter the city after the demise of the auto industry and an exodus of people out of the city. But there are some residents sick of waiting for the auto industry, the police, or the local government to get their act together and taking matters into their own hands. One booming business is the private security. In a city where a reported 7 out of 10 murders go unsolved, it's a service welcome by the community. RT Correspondent Liz Wahl takes you to the motor city.

Is stopping the School to prison pipeline just a pipedream?

For decades, public schools across the nation have amped up the police presence to combat the increased violence in the school system, but critics believe that the private prison industry is benefiting from the accompaniment of police in schools. The trend of random raids in the classroom has resulted in many students imprisoned for being in possession of drugs, but should these random raids continue or are they unconstitutional?

During the financial crisis we saw how susceptible those banks really were, but can the defence industry be described as too big to cut? The Military does after all provide tens of thousands of jobs for Americans across the country. At least that's the argument lawmakers are making to present sequestration. Next week RT will look at how big the defense industry has grown and ask if it's worthy of congressional protection. The end of the year is just a few short weeks away. So RT decided to take a look back at those who were some of the most influential people this year. And, before we ring in a New Year there is still Christmas, Hanukah and Kwanzaa to worry about. So what's the best way for US consumers to show their unquantifiable love for others? Gift, of course. Some of the high-tech toys stores are stocking their shelves with these days have some intrusive qualities about them.

Fears of falling over the proverbial fiscal cliff have forced the issue to the top of the congressional agenda.

He was sentenced to two years in prison and $ 10000 for violating the Federal Onshore Oil and Gas Leasing Reform Act and making false statements. This happened after he was protesting an oil and gas lease auction for rural land in Utah. DeChristopher entered the auction and signed up as a bidder and was arrested right after he won. Now he is in a halfway house in Salt Lake City, Utah after serving one and a half years in prison. DeChristopher can work but when a First Unitarian Church offered him a job, the Federal Bureau of Prisons denied DeChristopher that chance.

Next Week on RT

Next Week on RT

Pre-trial hearings for Bradley Manning are expected to continue throughout the weekend - the prosecution and defense are still discussing the treatment of the detainee during his imprisonment. The National Defense Authorization Act has received a slew of criticism from privacy advocates. The biggest argument against the act is the right for the Government to indefinitely detain American citizens without trial. As Congress considers the renewal of the bill next week, will the voices spoken against the NDAA be heard? Legislators are also fighting cuts to the defense budget in Congress, because they say it will result in loss of jobs for ordinary Americans. But does more defense money mean more American jobs? Or have defense firms just become too big to fail? Next week RT will question more. For these and many other stories and interviews stay tuned to RT.
