money absolutely i mean the voters don't like this the voters repeatedly are calling for getting big money out of politics. in my home state in massachusetts we passed a law to get the big money out we don't voters the supreme court pass and the other law which it can and living all limits from contribution and invalid and what i was going to add was that in our state when we passed it by voter referendum the the legislature which was eighty five percent democratic party they repealed it you know so the entrenched system is is very hostile to the needs of the american people the green party often described itself as the party that represents main street versus wall street as you just being say in what way do barack obama and mitt romney represent wall street that is against the interests of the american people mitt romney doesn't really pretend even to do anything other
8:31 am
than advance the economic elites agenda he has a track record which is to advance the likes of his own you know to acquire enormous amounts of wealth by tearing down other companies and businesses and firing workers and offshoring jobs and gobbling up the profits himself so he's got a track record which is pretty clear and he's you know he's pretty much straight ahead wall street agenda with barack obama on the democratic party it's it's a little harder to see clearly what they're about because they do talk a populist line but to actually look at their record it's pretty clear who their allegiances are to so george bush provided about eight hundred billion in bailouts for wall street but under barack obama it's been many trillions some for. and
8:32 am
a half trillion dollars worth of bailout that has already been dispersed and then there are many more trillions worth of loans and emergency loans and guarantees and then quantitative easing through the fed and all kinds of back doors to basically funnel either out in now bail out or free money to to wall street so mitt romney has wall street you know he's the wolf in a wolf's clothing. barack obama that will finish and clothing but they both essentially have the same agenda. can you talk a little bit more about your involvement with the occupy movement has the movement been big enough to make sort of a tick tonic shift in u.s. politics. i believe that that tectonic shift is happening and occupy is one of the indicators that it is happening and it's happening because one out of every two americans is now either in poverty or low income americans are really
8:33 am
hurting and are desperate for foreigners for solutions which they are not getting so there is a rebellion that is in full swing occupy speaks for that rebellion we saw a poll earlier. a majority of americans a substantial majority of americans was very sympathetic and supportive of the agenda that occupy was our but really i mean it's kind of a silent rebellion right exactly we are silenced you know i believe it is not silent but our voices are continually muzzled through all kinds of ways we can speak out politically the media is very much in the hands of big corporations congress approval rating is alive and present so it is people are on the happy but it's a silent by designing this right so that people have to work very hard to break through
8:34 am
and occupy got to critical mass by assembling you know in our public squares and they were very effective in breaking through until the public relations campaign began to be conducted against them and we saw that because that p.r. campaign actually got leaked it was a many many hundreds of thousands of dollars campaign that was constructed even before the counterattack began so you had both a media counterattack and then you had a a counterattack by way of police brutality in the suppression of our civil liberties as people were brutally attacked let's talk foreign policy but switch gears for many years now probably since the collapse of the soviet union every u.s. president ever. every administration took the idea of the us being the walled police sort of to the next level president obama was no exception what is it what is it the basis of this wall the police policy as you see it and would you carry on
8:35 am
with that as a president. this world police policy is bankrupting americans we're spending about a trillion dollars a year on the military industrial security complex that budget has roughly doubled over the last ten years and we are certainly not more secure for it we spent trillions of dollars in iraq when we withdrew from iraq how do we do it we withdrew from iraq in the dead of night at a secret undisclosed date because we were afraid that we would be ambushed in the process how many friends exactly did we make in this war what kind of a stable democracy did we make in iraq you know iraq continues to teeter on the brink of a civil war it has certainly not become a staunch and reliable ally for the united states or for democracy or for women's
8:36 am
rights for that matter the barrel of a gun has not been an effective diplomat and we need to heed that and take a lesson from it unfortunately president obama basically embraced george bush's you know militaristic approach to foreign policy on his third day in office he intensified the bombing. pakistan then went on to spread the drone wars into somalia and into yemen. he surged the troops into afghanistan we still have about twice as many troops as we had under george bush it has certainly not made afghanistan a safer more secure place we are not in a better position to you know withdraw now and declare victory than we were you know years ago you know that when you have the kind of civilian casualties that you have with drone bombing for example that you would you simply aid and abet those
8:37 am
very terrorist organizations that you are trying to. so after in the first place what is it that makes you concerned with regards to make romney's foreign policy plans if anything you know his plans are basically let's increase the military budget you know i mean and. he you know he has a lot of sort of machismo and bravado and he beats the war drum you know he wants to really flex muscle against iran but you know so too does the obama administration though they're a little bit more they're less warmongering about it but they're basically in agreement about coming down very hard on in iran and holding no options off the table so they they both threaten to use war where we should be
8:38 am
using diplomacy we talked about money in politics and everyone knows campaigns are not cheap your position your net worth is probably far from mitt romney's two hundred million dollars your party is financing a lost cause basically at this stage what is the goal the real goal at this stage in my view to say it's a lost cause is to say that our economy is a lost cause. you know it's to say that it's inevitable that we're going to crash and i don't mean that ok i mean the elections i would agree i mean i think that the for the the uphill battle for our election is identical to the uphill battle to rescue our economy we are a real political party you know we're not just you know the store front that looks like it's main street but is actually funded by wall street that's what the other
8:39 am
political parties are they they pretend to really have public support but what they really have is the support of the one percent and then they have a propaganda campaign going on and intensive public relations and psychological warfare that's intended to convince people that they don't have any options dr staying thank you very much for being here thank you it's great talking with you. the gold fever. is it's good to see you. but also my brother paul and since i started working in the united states he. says multinationals. trying to be milked dry i think that in this country gold medal as an environmental cost which is an accepted local
