been asking and. it just didn't happen the empire it was it was designed. and those bases just came along like you know some terrible cancer. when you see how much money is at stake in the in the operations that go on every day it's phenomenal the number of flights to take off from catania air force base every single day involved just that one base in that one country on one day one have been filed 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 in our 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 interest i was starting to say that we in america did not pay attention to the warning he gave it 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 as much petroleum is sweden 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 string. 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 after 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 kala see these and west are united by entering a new run tira progress. serving the interest of the saudi arab. 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 brain of the world oil. one of the material that is making a truly great contribution to our modern civilization. one of the reasons and the reason for the primary one for the invasion of iraq is to ensure u.s. control over any major interview or sources in the world when the embassy it's being built inside baghdad is a city sort of no other innocent and street in the world they're not building the

embassy. in syria rag in the huge basins around with an intention to leave their building with an 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 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 financial woes in the region. often 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 and the iraq war they say did. i study a few see beauty steady you know the ins and outs say for the people to go if they are to return they are made the thing is americans are living they are paying to they have to follow they i and i and i even had like the island new college new clacking only two new new old an americano enjoying their life so they are why should we not have the right to go on now on and enjoy the same way they are doing . so by many as the navy's best kept secret because of its remote location diego

soldiers commit crimes in these countries and what 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 and they're not tried under the law of the host nation other not put into prisons in the host nation often they're just put 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 to be more aggressive and so they were aggressive a. lot.

and 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 really walk the basement i mean you're feeling pretty good about yourself you know i mean you're 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 it's my looking at you the wrong way you know you it's not the whole lot you know when you know you were soldier you're marines i mean they like that stuff the military likes that stuff they may say well we don't want our guys breaking local or is it causing problems for the local people built. this does garbage i mean it. if that's the case and 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 really upset over this because. i remember how we treat sort of treated the okinawa people when i was here as a sex as eighteen year old and eventually some a peace activist and 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 empty 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 we took lectures so that was one nine hundred ninety six and that's when i came back and as we moved around the island and i saw the bases was still here i just couldn't believe it. it's. it's almost like a cancer here for these people

a day since the into 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 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 despoil american bases in 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. they're

going oh my goodness this is a list of the crimes and accidents caused by the u.s. military in okinawa because the accidents are very frequent distributed among. their career and these are just a few minutes and i just didn't have time to write the mowed down. and look a lot of. little seals are sold on buckets if they were. caught . by that well to me here is a map of the base but as you can see it's right in the middle of the city.

area. 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 work up an equal that's why the aircraft fly solo and even the helicopters little problem you sometimes they are so close we can see the pilots face.

fighting the noise is terrible they fly old a lot nonstop. i see some cry in the middle of the night. and i couldn't some even stops coming to school. well.

we're here to save every chance or won't accept any more military bases to be better and it won't accept any more war machines on its land speak up therefore we say no to all military facilities to get d.n.a. 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 vicente 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 ex of indian airports that. the plans for the new base include forty eight buildings over twenty acres of land i couldn't give a damn about the transfer because if it said you have four people it said three of

whom 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 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 they don't cry for. a place on your side so it's purely ideological and negative based by a bunch of zero people who don't do anything in the workplace. of three were. five hundred thousand april two thousand the appeal of a yet is 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 the court's decision the citizens of the chance of decide to hold an autonomous referendum and on october fifth ninety five percent of the participants photo against in a place that. the physical i mean i don't want the americans in my town and this is a chance to say it out loud but that 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 u.s. the green like 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 it's an

bilateral agreement never make public nor ratified by the italian parliament. i. was another truck is arriving let's try to stay together. i. live. here. i. open the gates muth you're breaking the special law on us. literary basis.

but if you're not going to do it i don't. wonder q what are you what i do you know why we struggle like this treasure how we're going to come to understand how we feel very we are because there is you know if there were not even if the american and japanese governments have believed us for years for addiction to have we ever killed an american i don't have a burka. but your various girls have been great planes and helicopters have repeatedly crashed. and this is what these bases have brought us on to have oppressed us for sixty two better years son of pride that they will never get up and we realize you're only doing your job i don't know but ours is a historical today. we will pass this legacy on to future generations.

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 that committed abuses and usurpations of his might was ahem make up that this was a reason to declare independence from britain even to a war was. i was on the eve of the bombers 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 perpetuates us hegemony over the rest of the world. the us must now choose when it just 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. throughout that's that's my land over there i did a stupid imo. so not a till i hope to go back one day. in the no niggers i'd use the lands

gold lots of white radish they call nowhere don't want their nice so that i could grow millions of them and not little space or not i will let you work it out of ok and i would then distribute them freely to the people of okinawa in the name of peace. after. them or might there are. ten more nice we all stay united in a struggle and i'm confident we can prevail. on our together or if we don't speak out against the fetter of our lands we will never be able to change the world . mature here. and we have to keep our camp. that's the only way we can prevail. and have my existence.

our path is one of resistance not terrorism. we're here to provide a safe and secure environment for everybody regardless of what it the good they are and to make sure that people have the freedom of movement that kids can go to school. and go to work and people can sleep safely and we would like to see kosovo to develop and continue to grow and there will be a point where a force no longer needed and we look forward to that day. the questions any of thing else to get everything you needed.
