7:45 pm
this is something americans should know what happens when we open bases in other people's countries what kind of problems as it saw. or doesn't cause more problems than i think it does i think people. i think people get really angry you know at that this idea that we are policing the world we have a right to put bases anywhere we want we don't have foreign bases in america we don't have any british space we don't have any korean base we don't have any french bases or you know we despoil american bases in the end for us our base is a five or the noise is our noise it doesn't bother us at all because they're our bases but for other people it's a real problem. we're going oh my goodness this is a list of the crimes and accidents caused by the u.s.
7:46 pm
military in okinawa. the accidents are very frequent mistake in a long. career i know these are just a few minutes and i just didn't have time to write the moment down. i'm up a lot of. little c.d.'s are sold on both sides if there is a. buy that will do to me here is a map of the base as you can see it's right in the middle of the city. area
7:47 pm
. of. this elementary school stands only three hundred yards away from the base. here we are inside the so-called clear zone where the planes take off and land this open equal that's why the aircraft fly solo and even the helicopters little problem you are sometimes they are so close we can see the pilots face.

7:50 pm
a complacent because from my point of view is a dirty commie ok but why because the italian government the region the authorities of decided yes and they want to make a noise even though these are entirely harmless people it's like having tourists that don't have tanks they don't have the helicopters that are on crack. airplanes and so it's purely ideological and negative based by a bunch of zero people who don't do anything in a worthless. hundred thirty. five thousand april two thousand and eleven he had his elected mayor of the chance on the promise of holding a referendum on a new base. it is said to be held on october fifth but just a few days before the italian supreme court blocks the referendum. despite

7:55 pm
the plans for new military bases in a number of countries show how hard it is for this or any other president to challenge those policies that benefit the military industrial complex and perpetuates us hegemony over the rest of the world. the us must now choose what it best in the country's dwindling resources to strengthen social and democratic institutions or will it continue to fuel this parasitical complex that by definition can only produce new weapons and new wars. that's a that's my land over there. so not to kill i hope to get it back wanted a hundred. million owners i do use the lands of gold lots of white radish.
