One of the videos was the Kidnapped Anti-Drone Activist Kareem Khan Has Been Freed, Says He Was Tortured from Feb. 11th. This video was about a movie called Wounds of Waziristan a sort of documentary that shows what is going on with the drones in these countries like Pakistan, how innocent women, children, human beings are murdered and how nothing is taken into justice. The sad thing about this is that those drones are from U.S. Kareem in the movie says that the only terrorist are Obama and Bush who have powerful guns and drop bombs on them when they are on there homes killing innocent people. People interviewed in the movie say that there is no peace that he's always scared and that people go crazy because they can die any minute any day. On the second video called Meteorologist Jeff Masters: Climate Change Affecting Weather Patterns Regardless of Season from Feb 13, they talk about the dangerous environment conditions that are taking place in east coast. People have died and most of the people have been with out power. The amount of snow in the east coast is massive. In the video they say that this dramatic climate change is regardless of season, and the people are the ones suffering for it.

On this week's assignment I wanted to look-up on the article on Snowded.
Accoring to Stewart Baker who is a whistleblower, on this viedo he actully applueds snowden on his comming out and saying that we the people and the world needed to find
out how our goverment is spying on us and half of the world. But in a sense the goverments of the countrys that we help and support with mililtarty money.
He is also saying that his leaks saved the interest of the free worlds and this conuntry. Second thing that is says is that are whistleblower laws, but you to get permition from the certain agencys.

On this week's assignment I wanted to look in to the unemployed.
I first want to say that at this time I am only employed part-time and attending fresno state as a full-time student. While I a receiving only about $80.00 per week in unemployment payments. When this amount doesnot help me very much. How ever I feel empathy for millions of my fellow americans who are unable to receive any benifits at all.Every $1 we provide to someone of unemployment benefits yields $1.60 in economic activity. And that’s why the loss of these benefits is going to rob our economy of $41 billion.” People living on the edge financially spend what they have to get by. Those in the top echelons of our economy, the top 1 percent, can take their income and hold on to it, or stash it away into an offshore account. This is want to the real americans have to live for, then send me back where I came from.
