a myth. but many signs were already there. markets have always relied on state power and military might. america's transformation from republic to economic superpower following world war two was accompanied by the creation of a global network of military bases unlike any other in history. according to the pentagon's base structure report today these amount to seven hundred sixteen in forty eight countries more than two hundred fifty thousand soldiers stationed on these bases in addition to this the u.s. has a military presence in one hundred ten countries around the world. a year after his election barack obama approved the new administration's first military budget this amounts to six hundred eighty billion dollars thirty billion more than bush's last defense budget and almost equalling the seven hundred eighty seven billion dollars

set aside by the new administration for the economic crisis stimulus package why despite the crisis does the military budget keep growing a crises and military expansion related in some way. we have different presentations or sometimes bands that come or even will be had. talent night if we have people that want to show off their talent we have a stage. we've done all sorts of things here from a halloween party the streets was parties this other events that happened here at the center as well yeah they have they have solved the last. thing. in the early twenty first century military bases the network of military bases all around the world forms the new empire that the united states is trying to build when you look at the pentagon's website and their public information they

acknowledge having somewhere over seven hundred military bases scattered among about one hundred thirty countries that's astonishing that's astonishing most americans have no idea there are more than a quarter of a million more than two hundred fifty thousand u.s. troops stationed on these bases all around the world it's not illegal to take but. i go straight to. the movies that we have in the movies are free. the unit of empire in the classic european empires was the color. the unity for the american empire is not the colony it's the military because this is on. the media. to the point of production how much nation most people don't understand the basis

exist i thought or stand the functions of military bases and and it's much frankly it's much easier for people engage with things like this war in iraq. question of torture thinks that immediately outrage them these are internet stations for soldiers can not only check the internet but they also have the capability of. doing webcams that. you can go in. to focus on war and not war perpetration is to simply shovel after the elephant one has to look at the board preparations that are going on around the world which military bases are central to. if one doesn't pay attention to that then again we can only deal with the symptoms which is which is warfare as the saying that goes when soldiers come war comes.

to feel. feel . defeated. feel.

in the past when the american soldiers came. to scare them away. we would scream yankee go home. the american bases have not only stolen our lands but also our way of life will not culture our history and everything else such a thing cannot be tolerated. and they say the bases are here to guarantee world peace so they've been used in the korean war in vietnam and now in iraq or in war

people die that's obvious now of course there are. both or i feel a great pain in my heart because our lands are being used to kill people who are. if a clerk asks you for a knife. there is nothing wrong in lending it to him and if he asks you for a knife to murder someone or lending it to him would make you a murderer or a person or person and this photograph it says give me back my love it too much that. you own. world war two the birth of america's global empire of bases

for germany italy and japan the defeat was followed by the establishment of a permanent american presence that continues to this day. nowhere is this clearer than in okinawa a little island south of the japanese mainland which after the war remained and the us administration until nine hundred seventy two when the island was returned to japan. in those years the u.s. established dozens of military bases on the island today along with south korea and due to its proximity to china and taiwan aquino was still represents america's military stronghold in east asia the island hosts thirty eight u.s. bases which has a force of thirty five thousand soldiers. well aware of the growing tension between the u.s. and the soviet union following the war led to an unprecedented global military buildup and to

a strategy of exploitation of people's fears that in various forms has continued to this day. you know how bad. the atomic bomb why should you worst going to charles under actually where you're not covered in those years america expanded into new territories such as the case of diego garcia a small island in the indian ocean part of the british overseas territories whose inhabitants got caught up in the global power struggle. nobody seems to know that diego garcia used to have a very considerable population they were all entirely bundled up and shipped out in

order to as the u.s. navy put it sanitize the players the u.s. wanted a base in india and also another cost because of the cold war to go garcia has a most wonderful you know logo. that would really be the ideal place for a base so we were at. a wrong place if you know of the wrong place at that time because our place was a best place for a the more sophisticated us than you could base outside of the us in the day in one nine hundred seventy one due to an agreement between the u.k. in the us the british made the island available to the americans as a military base because of its true strategic position and to put it its two thousand inhabitants today according to the pentagon diego garcia is one of the thirteen major u.s. military bases in the world and has played a crucial role in all post nine eleven conflicts. the diego garcia exiles today

live scattered between moriches and the united kingdom referee years they have been fighting a legal battle to return to them. in two thousand and eight though the house of lords overruled all the cases previously won by the islanders which appellants their right of return. we had to suffer exile because of for defense purposes and we've been surprise and surprise needs to be exiled from your homeland for the defense of the west. to a substantial degree in one corner or another socialism has spread the shadow of human regimentation over most of the nations of the earth. and the shadow is encroaching upon our own liberty. i was certainly a cold warrior i thought the soviet union was a menace i still do i still believe that we had every right to try and defend

ourselves against the power of the soviet union i began to change i got new information after the collapse of the soviet union in one thousand nine hundred one above all how fast our country moved united states to find a replacement enemy to keep the military industrial complex functioning to serve the vested interests in the cold war system i was appalled by this i believe that we should have that after the collapse of the soviet union of eliminating any basis for this global apparatus there was no further reason for it it was irrelevant. instead they moved at once to find another enemy china. terrorism. drug lords even instability anything to keep it going we need an enemy it's like we were a football team and we'll be in prophecy to play

a game we learn soon plays and now we don't have any opponent no how can we play this game anymore and so they needed a new enemy and a new enemy was or was it was drugs we had a war on drugs then came terrorism and that was a very good substitute in the minds of our lead is sometimes her kind of big thing sometimes they're afraid of very little out but now to something else about you that i don't think you quite understand me well sometimes when you become afraid there isn't anything that's really dangerous i'm time to think things are dangerous when they're not john stockwell a former cia agent wrote i think a very poor. the same book called in search of enemies in which he identified different areas and the u.s. society where there were there were the propaganda machine was geared up to identify a particular enemy of the moment in order that the us public would support a military buildup or support

a particular war. but i don't know. what they were. a network of bases means that you have at your fingertips if you were the emperor of the west of the means of. there's always somebody we don't like and somebody who must be stopped perpetual war for perpetual peace is being the american dream once we were launched upon them we would never look back and we were always find a pretext to attack another. targeting is an effort to process many things are considered we have advanced weapon systems with perception ministries and we take care in matching the

appropriate order to produce the desired effect on a target. for. the foundations for the new world order will aid in the middle east in one thousand nine hundred one following the first gulf war the us established a permanent military presence in the middle east but like it had done fifty years earlier in europe and east asia. the true consequences of this policy would be seen only ten years later and two thousand and one osama bin laden cited the us military presence in his homeland saudi arabia as a reason for his hatred of the united states. in a curious twist of fate the nine eleven attacks and america's military response paved the way for the birth of new military bases in iraq and central asia first and foremost in afghanistan.

the relationship between bases and war is a hand and glove relationship bases most of the us bases i would say the majority are the result of war they are the booty or loot of war in the sense that they were captured during wartime and never given back following the us bombing of iraq in one thousand nine hundred one the united states wound up with military bases in saudi arabia kuwait bahrain trial our oman and the united arab emirates following it's going to give yugoslavia nine hundred ninety nine the us wound up with military bases in kosovo or bay area garia macedonia hungary. and croatia following us when we go to afghanistan in two thousand and one into the us wound up with military bases in afghanistan pakistan because x.

that it was because then you can stand kurdistan georgia yemen and following us bomb we get a division of iraq in two thousand and three and the united states wound up with iraq. staying behind. i believe is actually at the is the ultimate purpose of many of these wars we used to think of military bases being built in order to wage the worse and i think increasingly we see the words themselves as convenient opportunities to station the basis and to have a more. and presence in countries such as he rocks such as afghanistan such as kosovo. so that's.

what we have and here is a video games. some of the things that go. with it that it was too long to disperse been at first but soon we run trolls

bailey says you can see again by me i want to be on your first quite a long time and i don't mean it that he has the gall to give me a paper college get something i'm going to do for a long time and done students active and they're never wanted this job so it has to be infantry for me something i could be moving around constantly doing something active so how do you feel about being supplied to iraq or afghanistan. to the nervous but i'm ready if i get called to go. think it be another saving experience to make. fun of. by the crowd by the thought. well the u.s. japan security alliance is the cornerstone of america's defense posture in the asia

pacific and now the united states is both a transpacific and a transatlantic power but we couldn't project that power without the men and women who serve here in japan as we look at the region it is at peace but we have threats like what we hear every day from north korea. and the security mission is essential to continuing to under gird america's leadership and being prepared for the kind of challenges we face but also to seize the opportunities for a better future. in two thousand and nine after years of local protests u.s.

secretary of state clinton signed an agreement with the japanese government to move the eight thousand troops stationed in the fertile base to the island of guam a u.s. territory the move though is tied to the construction of a new strip on the eastern coast of okinawa in himachal bay the project follows the decision to expand the jungle warfare training center for the north in short the u.s. has agreed to return some to the local but only if they accept to give up more land elsewhere on the items. this is an ideal habitat for the do gong's we have to do all we can take care of it . the reef is right here. it protects the bay and enables the sea grass not to go. well there you go. this is come

schwab military base. the us established it in the midst of world war two. with the goal a bit of it. and now they want to destroy two kilometers of heno kobe. all the way to aura bay and build a floating airport. out of it though. the u.s. takes no responsibility for its impact on people or the environment. since many rare species live here this would have very serious consequences. in okinawa or are the only ones in the whole of eastern asia. other and there are less than fifty left.

i sat in front of comes wild for one year from morning to night nor new day three i held up a sign saying no new basis for the lot of soldiers came out to talk to me it will

. they offer me hamburgers for breakfast when. i'm out. and they were so young that. i couldn't believe they would be sent to iraq to murder other people. or. you know you have i thought of here these kids are trained to kill we must stop us and we believe we can prevent the construction of these help with our actions overlook the obviously we only resort to peaceful means of protest that it was. founded we're going to. a lot of challenges but we also have some real opportunities and it's up to each of

us to determine the role that we will play on behalf of our country and our leadership but i have every confidence that when it comes to defending america's security and advancing our interests we have nobody better than all of you so thank you and thanks to your families thanks for the service and the sacrifice and thanks for making a difference every day. by militarism we do not mean national defense or the obligation of citizenship for able bodied people to defend the country in times of national emergency we mean a way of life a way of making a living an ideological position originally our conception of american military was like the early roman legions of the republic they were raised for emergency.

farmers left their fields went to war and were instantaneously demobilize they were not long service fortunes or any sort as the roman republic slowly inadvertently thoughtlessly acquired themselves a car they began to realize they needed standing or something like that happened in america after world war two as we began to build an arms industry. and an apparatus to support a huge standing army that subtly altered the political structure but still. bending armies. destroy federalism they bring power to washington he seen they require more wealth in order to maintain these armies these are long service armies twenty years or so they have to be taken care of when they become redundant things of this sort it alters the power picture radically and that's of course what

ultimately brought down the roman republic. attentional baited intention automated it is saying hand there is a shackle are. hungry for the full story we've got. the biggest issues get the human voice ceased to face with the news makers. m. m.
