we should have a facebook group that was not. the bill of rights offense committee and the jericho movement and of course the tires of the president of the d.c. branch of the n.w. c.p. and that's our show for tonight thanks for tuning in to adam vs the man for out adam vs the man i guess in power to find me on facebook and twitter as always you can get me at adam and adam vs the man dot com and pass this broadcast live as it airs at r.t. dot com slash usa this is an over from b. c. and i. think the thing.

here is the same i think. you would like to see him a real. he's being described one of the worst meetings we've ever had is the organization of petroleum exporting countries are full price is if it is used as a real. woman is this place who owns general electric and make out and go oh how they get the money to make them and who's giving it to them and why to protect us from. these are all questions that somebody like obama should have been asking was. it just didn't happen the empire it was it was designed. and those bases just came

along like you know some terrible cancer and. 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 in just that one base in that one country on one day and have involved thousands of gallons of jet fuel. repair and maintenance and parts for those aircraft the rationale for these bases 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 and 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 interest i've started 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. in the united states consumes one fourth of the world's oil every day more than any other country far more than any other country the u.s. department of defense alone consumes is much petroleum is sweden does on a daily basis that's a huge amount that it has to be procured in day out three hundred sixty five days a year too. 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 karta doctrine if to 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 millet's. to their end 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 front here 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 run dear

is nothing into the trade 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 really major interference or since the arab league embassy which means built inside baghdad is a city certain no other in the cinema history of the world they're not building the embassy in. syria iran can make huge producers around with an intention to leave

their building within and entertain control. since two thousand and three the us 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. he breman told success 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. over the fact base is created in response to an imminent threat of 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 just a minute they are sturdy physically to stay idea that 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 there they had to fill up they i and i i and. even ahead like out of the island with nuclear i clearly told you all and i'm every kendo enjoying their life so they are why should we not have the right to go on now iran 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 assignment abroad. but hosting u.s. bases countries lose their software to be in a number of ways you can do a very interesting kind of study in terms of the think ness of the sofa the status of forces agreement this is what's negotiated between the united. nations and it determines. who can access the united states will have kind of political powers what happens when u.s. soldiers commit crimes in these countries and when you find is that the countries

that have less power or leverage in relationship to the united states have much thinner so for us in these cases in these countries you'll find that when u.s. soldiers commit crimes they're not held accountable they're not they're not tried under the laws of the host nation other not put into prisons in the host nation often they just want 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're 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've been pretty good about yourself you know i mean you feeling like you're a tough guy you could get anybody you know but so coming into town with that sort of attitude and getting kind of drunk and there's so much looking at you the wrong way you know you're just not how i'm you know when you know you were soldier you're a marine i mean i like that stuff the military likes that stuff they may say well we don't want our guys breaking local more wars and causing problems for the local people pull. this does garbage i mean if that's the case then you don't let us off the base you let us off the base there's going to be issues. i heard on the news one day about a okinawan girl had been raped by united states military men and i was very upset

over this because. i remember how we treat sort of treated you know can only people when i was here as a set as an eighteen year old and eventually some a peace activist i'm 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 exploration who was stationed here who's doing piecework now in america and so they invited me to come back to do so we took a lecture 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 was still here i just couldn't believe it this it's. it's almost like a cancer here for these people a day since the end of world war two these spaces have been here.

this is something the americans should know 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 and 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 base 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 our base is a fine of the noises around the 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 because

it's the accidents are very frequent mistake in along. these are just a few minutes and i just didn't have time to write the most down. and look at all those. little seekers through the muck of that there is a. battle to here is a map of the base as you can see and it's right in the middle of the city. on

. 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 it's got open equal that's why the aircraft fly solo over and even the helicopters will fall when you sometimes they are so close we can see the pilots face.

by the noise is terrible. some cry in the middle of the night baggage on a foot and some even stops coming to school. well. we're here to say the vets chancel won't accept any more military bases he won't

accept any more war machines on its lands three feet up therefore we say no to all military facilities to get piano 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 chain so it's only just a few miles away from the city's historical center the chance of already hosts a u.s. military base because that i'm a little bit home to the southern european task force and one of ten major u.s. bases in italy the area designated for the new base is the x. a billion airport that morning and 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 a big said you have four people 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 who

can place a big change from my point of view is a dirty commie ok but why because the italian government the rich and the authorities of decided yes and they want to make a noise even though these are entirely harmless people it's like having. tourists don't have tanks they don't have a how tough is that on crashing airplanes on your side so it's purely ideological and negative based by a bunch of people who don't do anything in the workplace. hundred three. hundred thirty in april two thousand the king live and yet is elected mayor of the chance on the promise of holding a referendum on a new base. it is said to be held up tobe a fifth but just a few days before the italian supreme court blocks the referendum. despite

the court's decision the citizens of the chance to decide to hold an autonomous referendum and on october fifth ninety five percent of the participants photo against in a place that. is the city 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 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 military bases most bases are in fact covered by secret treaties between the u.s. and host nations in italy's case this is the one nine hundred fifty four us is in bilateral agreement never make public nor ratified by the italian parliament.

i. i another truck is arriving let's try to stay together. here that's. right. i. open the gates muth you're breaking the special law on us. the trade basis.

was that you're going to do it i don't. know nothing whatever you want i don't you know why we struggle like this treasure have we're going to come to you understand how we feel think we are many of us here you're a victim we're not even if the american and japanese governments have bullied us for years spiritual going to have we ever killed an american i don't have a burka. various girls have been great with other planes and helicopters have repeatedly crashed. and this is what these bases have brought us they have oppressed us for sixty two better year senate prior to. our we realize you're only doing your job i don't know but ours as a historical duty creator we will pass this legacy on to future generations. who elementary school 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.

king george the third kept among us standing armies in times of peace the committed abuses the usurpations of missiles and i was i have make up that this was a reason to declare independence from britain even to a war i was. i was about his election was hailed by many. as the beginning of a political phase 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 and the uncertainties surrounding the fate of the us bases in iraq and the plans for a 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. told r.t. r that's a that's my land over there for to just get it or more. so not until i hope to go back one day her across their support. in the net i do use the land to grow lots of white radish take on what we don't want in us so that i could grow millions of

women that little space. that are all good and i would then distribute them freely to the people of okinawa in the name of peace as you're. not there i mean. if we all stay united in the struggle there are no i'm confident we can prevail. you're not i want a better or if we don't speak out against the fact of our lands we will never be able to change the world. or later to what it was about. mature here. and we have to keep our camp and. that's the only way we can prevail. and have my existence. our path is one of resistance it's not terrorism.

we're here to provide a safe and secure environment for everybody regardless of what it thinks that they are and to make sure that people have the freedom of movement that kids can go to school that people go to work and people translate safely and we would like to see kosovo develop and continue to grow and there will be a point where a force no longer needed and we look forward to getting. to the questions any of the goals to get everything you needed.
