when you see how much money is at stake in in the operations that go on every day it's phenomenal the number of flights to take off from katrina air force base every single day involved just that one base in that one country on one day when have involved thousands of gallons of jet fuel. repair and maintenance and parts for those aircraft the rationale for the space is that they're continually practicing and training and using the equipment and running the personnel through their paces and and feeding them and and so on and that is an incredibly expensive operation this is what. the president has an hour it was warning against in his farewell address in one thousand nine hundred sixty one where he invented the phrase military industrial complex meaning hidden power power that was not really

under the supervision of congress that. and that was often out of control represented private interests rather than the national interests i'm sorry to say that we in america did not pay attention to the warning he gave it gave to us and today it's close to out of control. the united states consumes one fourth of the world's oil to every day more than any other country far more than any other country the u.s. department of defense alone consumes this much petroleum is sweet and does on a daily basis that's a huge amount that has to be procured k. in day out three hundred sixty five days a year. to safeguard their oil the united states must have some capacity to

protect it and in this country their job has been given to the military. and the military must have bases naval bases air force bases and army bases in the areas where the oil is located or along the supply routes. if you look at the map collectively there is an almost contiguous strain. of u.s. military bases from poland to pakistan in this really strategic middle ground between the emerging economic competitors of the united states the european union on one hand and china and japan on the other the us has a formal policy of maintaining military dominance of the persian gulf area it's called the carta doctrine if the president jimmy carter he said

protection of the flow of persian gulf oil is of vital interests of the united states and to protect that flow will use any means necessary including military force to there and he said we will need military bases in the persian gulf area and he established military bases to support this policy of protecting the flow of persian gulf oil and then wars were fought as well in line with that policy. and west are united and pioneering a new run fear of progress. serving the interest of the saudi arabs. serving the interests of the united states. and demonstrating the high caliber of the american system of free enterprise. system which from this new frontier

is nothing into the grain of the world oil. one of the material that is making a truly great contribution to our modern civilization. one of the reasons the reason for the primary one for the invasion of iraq is to ensure u.s. control of the major energy resources of the world the embassy that's when we look inside baghdad and there's a city sort of no other embassy and street in the world we're not building the embassy in syria ranking of the huge bases around with an intention to leave they're building the intention to maintain control.

since two thousand and three the u.s. has built dozens of military bases in iraq in two thousand and eight the u.s. and iraqi governments signed an agreement that states that all foreign troops should leave the country by two thousand and eleven. the agreement also says that the u.s. will not seek permanent basis or a permanent military presence in iraq. obama secretary of defense robert gates though has stated that even after two thousand and eleven he expects to see several tens of thousands of american troops as part of a residual force in iraq. hence many fear that iraq may be used as a launching pad for future wars in the region. also in fact bases created in response to an imminent threat have ended up becoming permanent jaeger garcia for example born in the context of the cold war is still operational and has played

a crucial role in the iraq war but they say to him that they are a steady fifty billet is steady and you know the island is not safe for the people to go if they are to return they are but the thing is americans are living they are painted they have to fill up they are united and i. are you going to head like out of the island new college new can i clearly told you new old and i mean we can know and showing they are life so they are why should we not have the right to go on all the ironing and enjoy the same way they are doing. so by many as the navy's best kept secret because of its remote location diego garcia is actually home to about three thousand residents at any given time there's also a unique assortment of quality of life opportunities to take advantage of on diego garcia the island's athletic center is open round the clock with

a wide range of workout equipment and a full sized gymnasium be sure to spend as much time as possible researching this informative website to help you prepare for what will certainly be a memorable signage abroad. by hosting u.s. bases countries lose their sovereignty in a number of ways you can do a very interesting kind of study in terms of the think newness of the so for the status of forces agreement this is what's negotiated between the united states and so whole host nations and it determines. what kind of access to united states will have what kind of political powers what happens when u.s. soldiers commit crimes in these countries and when you find is that because trees that have less power or leverage in relationship to the united states have much

thinner so for us in these cases these countries you'll find that when u.s. soldiers commit crimes they're not held accountable they're not not tried under the law of the host nation other not put into prisons in the host nation often are just brought out of the country back into the united states were deployed to war zone. because as they say boys will be boys nice guys been trained to be more aggressive than so they were aggressive you know. if. you like you're like shot up with steroids you know i mean you're working out every day and you've got guns you've got stuff man and so when you leave off the base man i mean you're feeling pretty good about yourself you know i mean you feeling like

you're a tough guy you could take anybody you know but so coming into town with that sort of attitude it getting kind of wrong and it's my looking at you the wrong way you know you're just not the hell up you know when you know you were told you're a marine i mean they like that stuff the military likes that stuff they may say well we don't want our guys breaking local wars and it's causing problems for the local people but. it's this garbage i mean if that's the case then you don't have a strong to base you like this off the base this going to be issues. i heard on the news one day about they ok now and girls had been raped by united states military men and i was very upset over this because. i remember how

we treat sort of treated the okinawa people when i was here as a set as eighteen year old and eventually some of peace activists got in touch with me and they had a contact here in okinawa and when they found out that i had been stationed here they let the n.t. based. people here know that there's an ex maureen who was stationed here who was doing a piece work now in america and so they invited me to come back to do so we took lectures so that was one nine hundred ninety six and that's when i came back and as we moved around the ireland and i saw the bases were still here i i just couldn't believe it this it's. it's almost like a cancer here for these people they since the end of world war two these spaces have been here.

this is something the americans for what happens when we open bases in other people's countries we're kind of problems as it saw or does it cause more problems and i think it does i think people. i think people get really angry you know at the 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 just all american bases in in in for us i want bases affine you know the noises i would noise it doesn't bother us at all because they're our bases but for other people it's a real problem. where they know my dinner and this is a list of the crimes and accidents caused by the us military in okinawa.

the accidents are very frequent this needed among. these are just a few minutes and i just didn't have time to write the mode down. and look at all of. the secrecy so all the muppets are there with the. bible to me here is a map of the base as you can see it's right in the middle of the city.

on. this elementary school stands only three hundred yards away from the base a bit here we are inside the so-called clear zone where the planes take off and land this is not open for that's why the aircraft fly solo building up and even the helicopters little problem you know sometimes they are so close we can see the pilots face. fighting the noise is terrible they fly old

a lot nonstop. sized some cry in the middle of the night they did. that or some even stops coming to school. thank. you. we're here to say duffy chancellor won't accept any more military bases to be better and it won't accept any more war machines on its lam street therefore we say

no to all military facilities to get here and to those that come in arms we say go home. in two thousand and seven the us revealed its plans for a new military base in the chance of italy just a few miles away from the city's historical center. already hosts a u.s. military base because that might. come to the southern european task force and one of ten major u.s. bases in italy area designated for the new base is the x. a billion airport. the plans for the new base include forty eight buildings over twenty acres of land i couldn't give a damn about the chance of because of big heads you have for people if it said three or four are over the age of ninety and the base is a nothing of a base it doesn't generate smoke noise there are no planes landing so anybody

a complacent big change from my point of view is a dirty commie ok but why because the italian government to reach and your card is of decided yes and they want to make a noise even though these are entirely harmless people it's like having tourists they don't have tanks they don't have the helicopters they don't quite. aeroplane's on your side so it's purely ideological and negative is probably bunch of zero people who don't do anything in a worthless. hundred three. hundred three in april two thousand and eleven he had his elected mayor of new chance on the promise of holding a referendum on a new base. it is said to be held on october fifth just a few days before the italian supreme court blocks the referendum. despite the court's decision the citizens of the chancellor decide to hold an

autonomous referendum and on october fifth ninety five percent of the participants photo against in place. of the six i mean yeah i don't want the americans in my town and this is a chance to say it out loud but it's been almost seventy years since the end of the war and we still have occupying troops in our city i despite the clear a position of the people of the trends of the the italian government gives the us the green light to go ahead with a new base. it's not unusual for the normal democratic process to be subverted when it comes to minutes and bases most bases are in fact covered by secret treaties between the us and host nations in italy's case this is the one nine hundred fifty four us it's the bilateral agreement never made public nor ratified by the italian parliament.

i. think another truck is arriving let's try to stay together. i. just. heard. him coming. open the gates move you're breaking the special law on us my. littery basis. what i'm not going to do about oh. i don't know what i have been or what i do you

know why we struggle like this treasure have been going to come to understand how we feel free reality because there is your article not even if the american and japanese governments have believed us for years of action over how we ever killed an american i have heard of work up. to your various girls have been great fighter planes and helicopters have repeatedly crashed. one this is what these bases have brought us they have oppressed us for sixty two bitter years sort of credit if they will never grow up. we realize you're only doing your job i don't know but ours is a historical g.-d. creator and we will pass this legacy on to future generations. who know mattress cool you're taught the declaration of independence and if you're paying attention on the day it is taught he'll be taught that it says that. the

king george the third kept among us standing armies in times of peace the committed abuses and usurpations of this is my wish i can make up that this was a reason to declare independence from britain even who a war was. i was i was on the eve of bombers election i was hailed by many. as the beginning of a political face radically different from that of the bush administration and in many ways it has been. but the ever growing military budget the escalation of the war in afghanistan the uncertainty surrounding the fate of the u.s. bases in iraq and 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 perpetuate us hegemony over the rest of the world. the us must now choose what it best in the country's twenty lng 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. throughout us nuts my land over there did a stupid imo. so not a till i hope to go back one day. in the net i'd use the land to grow lots of white gratis take on what we don't want in us so that i could grow millions of them and not little space or not i could not make it work in

a car or get on i would then distribute them freely to the people of okinawa in the name of peace. after. them or might their army throughout iraq at the. moment we all stay united in the struggle and i'm confident we can prevail. you are not i want another or if we don't speak out against the first of our lands we will never be able to change the world. and i'm of course if you're here. and we have to keep our camera. that's the only way we can prevail. and i have my biggest fan. and i did our path as one of her existence not terrorism.

we're here to provide a safe and secure environment for everybody regardless of what if they put they are in to make sure that people have the freedom of movement the kids can go to school that people go to work and people can sleep safely and we would like to see kosovo to bella to continue to grow and there will be a point where a force no longer needed and we look forward to that day. the questions and nothing else to get everything you needed.
