Noam Chomsky, the famous political commentator and MIT professor
emeritus, has long said, "There used to be a kind of a quip that the
United States was a one-party state, with a Business Party that had two
factions: the Democrats and the Republicans." But now, he says, there is
still one party, but with only one faction. "It's not Democrats, it's
moderate Republicans," he said. "Today's Democrats have shifted to the
right." Find out what else Chomsky had to say about the state of
American politics and the current government shutdown in his sit-down
interview with RT's Anissa Naouai.

Book Of Secrets - Freemasons [History Channel Documentary]
A Documentary about Freemasons
Free masonry can be traced back 3000 years to the legendary white knights of the crusades, the Knights Templar (25.10) Firstly, Free Masons have no roots back to King Solomon or anywhere else, it's modern, 1600's at earliest, not 3000 years old. Secondly, Crusades, quick history lesson, for those who never read a book, the first crusade was in 1095 AD and the Knights Templar appeared around about 30 years later to protect pilgrims on their way to Jerusalem. Free Masonry was behind secularizing the West and the Humanitarian Revolution.
Leak At Fukushima Plant Contaminates Six Workers
Six workers at Japan's crippled Fukushima nuclear plant were exposed to a leak of highly radioactive water on Wednesday (October 9, the latest in a string of mishaps the country's nuclear watchdog has attributed to carelessness, saying they could have been avoided.
Tokyo Electric Power Co, also known as Tepco, has been battling to contain radioactive water at the plant, which suffered triple meltdowns and hydrogen explosions following a devastating earthquake in March 2011.
In the latest incident, the company said a worker mistakenly detached a pipe connected to a treatment system to remove salt from the hundreds of tonnes of water Tepco pumps over the melted fuel in wrecked reactors at Fukushima to keep them cool.
"Some of our workers mistakenly removed the lock on a pressure hose in the wrong location, which caused a leak from the hose," said Tepco spokesman Masayuki Ono.
Tepco said seven tonnes of water were spilled in Wednesday's incident at the treatment facility but were contained within the site, adding that the leaked water had an all-beta radiation level of 34 million becquerels per liter.
"At the moment we only have provisional figures, but we think the amount of water that leaked was about 7 tonnes. We have confirmed the leak has stopped within the building and has not seeped out into the wider area," Ono said.
The accidents at the Fukushima Daiichi plant, 220 km (130 miles) north of Tokyo, are adding to a crisis no one seems to know how to contain, and stirring doubt over Tepco's abilities to carry out a complex cleanup widely expected to take decades.
"Six people have had their bodies irradiated and it is true that big mistakes like this continue to occur again and again. It is therefore essential that we do something to stop this chain of events," Ono said.
Last week, Tepco said 430 liters (113 gallons) of contaminated water had spilled out of a storage tank at Fukushima and probably flowed to the ocean.
