9:44 pm
i heard on the news one day about they ok now when. the girl had been raped by united states military men and i was really upset over this because. i remember how we treat sort of treated d.-o. can only people when i was here as a set as an 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 left the base people here know that there was an exploration who was stationed here who's doing piecework now in america and so they invited me to come back to do so a week of lectures so that was one nine hundred ninety six and that's when i came back
9:45 pm
and as we moved around the ireland and i saw the bases was still here i i just couldn't believe it. it's almost like a cancer here for these people since the end of world war two these spaces have been here. this is something americans should know what happens when we open bases in other people's countries what kind of problems does it stop or does it cause more problems and i think it does i think people. i think people get really angry you know at the 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 for us bases are fine the noise
9:46 pm
is our 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 me i don't know i know this is a list of the crimes accidents caused by the u.s. military in okinawa. the accidents are very frequent distributed among. these are just a few minutes and i just didn't have time to write the mode down. on a. little secret. here is a map of the base as you can see and it's right to the middle of the city. i

we're here to say they have a chance oh won't accept any more military bases pretty moderate and won't accept any more warm. sheens on its less than three p. doc therefore we say no to all military facilities to get beyond it to those that come in arms we say go. in two thousand and seven the us revealed its plans for a new military base in italy just a few miles away from the city's historical center. already hosts a u.s. military base the. 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 ex of billion airport.
9:50 pm
the plans for the new base include forty eight buildings over twenty acres of land i couldn't give a damn about the chancellor because it's been said you have four people. three of whom are over the age of ninety and the base is nothing of a base it doesn't generate smoke noise there are no planes landing so anybody of complacent because from my point of view is a dirty commie ok but why because the italian government to reach 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 they don't have tanks they don't have the helicopters they don't cry fair a place on your head so it's purely ideological and negative is by a bunch of zero people who don't do anything worth.
9:51 pm
in april two thousand a key live and yet is elected mayor of beach and so the promise of holding a referendum on the 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 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. 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 opposition of the people of the chance of the italian government gives the us the green light to go ahead with
9:52 pm
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 it's the bilateral agreement never make public nor ratified by the italian parliament. i. i another truck is arriving let's try to stay together. that. i. think that's what i think it was what i.
9:53 pm
know that i. open the gates move you're breaking the special law on us my. the trade basis. but if you're not going to do it i don't. want to knock you out of there you want to do you know why we struggle like this treasure have over a continent you understand how we feel free we are because they are even articulate we're not even if the american and japanese governments have bullied us for years or addiction to have we ever killed an american i am and i would rather go. with your various girls have been great planes and helicopters have repeatedly crashed. on this is what these bases have brought us they have oppressed us for sixty two better years sundered predicted they will never grow up on it we realize you're
9:54 pm
only doing your job well i don't know but ours is a historical g.-d. creator and we will pass this legacy on to future generations. goodell mentary school you're taught the declaration of independence and if you're paying attention on the day that it's taught he'll be taught that it says that. the king george the third kept among us standing armies in times of peace that committed abuses and usurpations of missiles and i was a him make up that this was a reason to declare independence from britain even to a war i was. i was
9:55 pm
about as 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 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 when it destine 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.
9:56 pm
you know it does to matts my land over there but it is good imo. so not a chill i hope to get it back one day. in the net i do use the land to grow lots of white radish take on where i don't want them less so that i could grow millions of them in that little space more knowledge i can let you work it out or i'll get on i would then distribute them freely to the people of okinawa in the name of peace cannot touch your ideas you have. their moment there are many throughout iraq at their. own if we all stay united in the struggle there are no i'm confident we can prevail. you cannot i work together or if we don't speak out against the fast of our lands we will never be able to change the world. or did it or did it with the kind of mature here. and on about
9:57 pm
it we have to keep our camp in their. way that's the only way we can prevail but they. don't have my biggest strength. and i mean our path is one of resistance not terrorism. we're here to provide a safe and secure environment for everybody regardless of what if that group they are in to make sure that people have the freedom of movement that kids can go to school that people go to work and people can sleep safely and we would like to see kosovo develop and continue to grow and out there will be a point we're ok for is no longer needed and we look forward to that day. the questions any of thing else just get everything you needed.
