Watch the full episode at https://www.portable.tv/videos/theempireleaks This week Lee Camp opens with a tale of two sets of leaks about US police and imperialist lies about Western intervention in Syria. The Blue Leaks revealed corruption & wrongdoing at police departments across the US. Law enforcement officers illegally surveilled people, spread obviously false theories from right wingers, and treated peaceful protesters like terrorists. Reporting from The Grayzone revealed that Western governments funded war propaganda that allowed NATO and the US to destroy Syria. They did this through PR companies with links to 1,600 corporate journalists. The program had particular success with the Oscar-winning "White Helmets" documentary. Also on this episode: Public opinion of the USA has plummeted around the world over the last 5 years and Camp lays out all of the ways that the US deserves this reputation. Natalie McGill reports on the invasive measures employers are enacting to monitor their employees as they work from home. Corporations are using software that tracks their employees' keystrokes and mouse movements, downloads videos of their computer screens, uses their webcams to take photos of them, and GPS tracks them via their smartphones. Outdated communications privacy laws allows these practices to go unpunished. Anders Lee and Camp discuss a new book from the French economist Thomas Piketty and the controversy it has ignited on the Left Wing of the political spectrum, and a new set of regulations that the European Union is considering enacting on social media corporations. ~ Full episodes of Redacted Tonight will no longer be available on YouTube.

Watch Lee's newest Stand-Up Comedy Special for free here – https://LeeCampAmerican.com Lee sits down with Vijay Prashad, the executive director of The Tricontinental Institute for Social Research. They discuss how the US failed in the face of the coronavirus pandemic, the growing cohort of working people who have been dubbed the 'precariat' because of their precarious employment, what people can do to help limit this crisis, and how foreign countries such as India and Cuba are handling the crisis. Naomi Karavani rips into the massive corporations that took all of the money from the small business loan program that was part of the coronavirus stimulus bill. This move illustrates why a capitalist system cannot solve a crisis that requires people to work together. Natalie McGill dips into a strange plague that struck the world between the 14th and 17th centuries. The "Dancing Plague" would start with one person boogying and spread through the community until crowds of people danced themselves into exhaustion and sometimes death. ~ Our videos are heavily suppressed by YouTube and Facebook.
