quite a while and they have to fight and they see people fighting and they see they're fighting the same enemy and they see the reaching out this movement has shown such an eagerness to reach out to the mainstream of the american public and the unions represent the organized part of that the focus on the one percent and the first time in an american movement i don't even think in the thirty's that the communist party did this in their mass work i don't even think they identify the enemy as the ruling class mr speaker. mr vice president. members of congress distinguished guests and fellow americans last month i went to andrews air force base and welcome home some of our last troops to serve in iraq. together we offered a final proud salute to the colors under which more than a million of our fellow citizens bought. and several thousand gave their lives

we gather tonight knowing that this generation of heroes has made the united states safer and more respected around the world thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you. thank you thank you thank. you to want to get a standing ovation from both democrats and republicans just because i'm alive at the bottom line of the military industrial complex which just so happens to the benefits of every congressional district in the country somebody really believes that the undisputed greatest player of violence in the world actually makes us safer and more respected i mean come on that kind of attitude is not going to earn anyone any nobel peace prizes or thank you distinguish members of the norwegian nobel committee it's citizens of america. and citizens of the world.

i receive this honor with deep gratitude and great humility george orwell would have had a hard time coming up with this are we really this delusional you see the more honest we are with ourselves about exactly what our foreign policy is the better chance we have to stop some of the truly horrific conditions it visits upon many of the people of the world so say it with me the us foreign policy is a blowback inducing homicidal bull in a cultural religious and geo political china shop didn't change. there was. that. far. too many. sitting. around. the world. it was not right. feeling. the answer to the truth i served in iraq in two thousand and four and two thousand

and six i was in the second battle of. allusion november two thousand and four as a human being and as a person who has a heart i can't lie to myself anybody else and say that we had a reason to be there that there's a reason for the million iraqis that died in the five thousand troops said we say we're the greatest country in the world but we go and kill you know people in their country but we don't stop genocide in africa we don't help people that we can help that would be the greatest country in the world if we can save a million people instead of killing them and people if you're not convinced our foreign policy is morally bankrupt perhaps we should talk about money. in united states have need one point four trillion dollars for total war spending in iraq or afghanistan since two thousand and one never wondered what one point four trillion dollars would buy well it could be the annual energy costs for every household in america five years but i hear you saying that would not do very much to decrease our dependence on foreign oil and there are enough. one point four trillion dollars

could convert every home in america to one hundred percent solar energy. times over or it could convert every home in america through one hundred percent wind energy knowing times over for groceries for everyone in the country free for two years or provide scholarships to every college student in america and award them a fifty five hundred dollar grant seven times over the war in turn all volunteer firefighters into full time employees and pay them a full salary for twenty three years or pay the full time salaries of every public school teacher for the next six years instead we took one point four trillion dollars pay a small black ops team to hunt track and kill osama bin laden. we even had money left over in the budget to decimate two countries launch hostilities resulting in over one million innocent civilians dead and counting and ask yourself how many

orphans are going to bed with clenched fists tonight in afghanistan or iraq who grow up willing to fly a plane into the building and how many trillions are we prepared to spend on avenging that. you can do everything go to school and not just go to school but excel in school work really really hard and i graduated and really had the feeling a lot of the time very consciously in my head that. i might as well. you know i mean. was there reason for me to be in debt good evening of all the time bombs on the american economy set to explode with dire consequences this is a big one staggering debt from student loans everyone is told a college education is a way to get ahead college tuitions though keep going up so does the borrowing and we just hit an awful milestone our nation's combined student loan debt is now here

. one trillion dollars that averages out to twenty four thousand per student it's now larger than credit card debt in this country and it comes just as an entire generation is just starting out. i have to. thank. god because. i. was. that a year ago anybody would have predicted that i don't. remember because it would

have to our. young people out of the streets in new york city. because something is real journalists here. has so many bright. young people. on a global stage with affordable education. and it is a challenging justice that there is in fact the whole student loan debt credit card debt that when congress raises the loan limits schools respond to those increased long limits by raising tuition because they think that students can afford to pay more because they're actually allowed more money nobody really has the option to expect to get a comfortable. not go to college we don't have an unskilled workforce anymore we

are for the workforce that we have right now it's socially irresponsible not to go to school because the entire workforce is predicated on higher education i think our education system hasn't caught up to our economy and that's one of the problems and that that's where this problem is coming and that's why people are speaking up that's why that i am here there are no bankruptcy protections for any student loans this is the only one and all of us history that you can't ever default on you can ever discharge this carcassi the idea of debtors union is based on the labor union model and what they did effectively when our economy was very different when there was so-called unskilled labor day negotiated with the factories for better working conditions so that they could go back to work just that same way to you debtors union could renegotiate a better contractor arrangement with our lenders so that we can repay our loans it's employing an autonomous strategy of refusal so you were fused to do something

you're saying no to something in favor of making things better. how do. you. write code like this you know it's really about who we believe and the truth and the sooner we come to know the we'll just all these effects are so massive whether it's b.p. . oil. the tar sands i think of the size of florida this from an alberta i was really interested in the tar sands protests this summer because to see thousand plus people getting arrested like that willfully is pretty amazing friend of mine.

just all of you to tell you is tar sands oil is not the gulf in order to get tar sands oil to go out to destroy the arctic and so i think that you know find some of the pipeline but what happens after that you know another standoff with big oil i think so i think so i don't think it's the environment going to magically go itself because we stop the high price and then the thing about the pipeline and one reason that makes it so urgent is that that nasa scientist james hansen the brokaw during originally a few decades back. says that the pipeline is it will be. game over i mean side in her on you know how to boil right. will two parties keep us politics a one way street. or will new voices disrupt the power of power and.

please speak your language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on. reporting from the world's hot spots fifty ip interviews intriguing story so you. can try. to find out more visit. i'm in sochi the u.s. city in europe on the host of the twenty fourteen winter the picket. signs. thank you. so much. thank you the. dog days are. the pride days it. makes common. to see it's so

true. claimed. the world. science technology innovation all the latest developments from around russia we've. covered. my show would be so much brighter if you moved my son from phones to pressure and so. he starts on t.v. dot com. we. believe. we're reading it. and i think that to look people who are the naysayers.

and actually get all their narrative there's. a good dose of not a rarity here still stinging criticism world but so does. everyone people to be able to do so if it's going to take time but. we can't force we're not ready to. because we see a better world. we have a vision for. this organization but the second that a new american dream. were created.

is somehow put in a bid to not. have to see this item mentioned at the end you know the show you all the same stuff and then they sit around somebody who has issues and problems and they talk about you know how badly that person has done and what they're going to do what they will change their behavior and for us we're dealing with folks who have a serious addiction to. corporate money ok. now we can expect them to get off it on their own even on that and the smoking a crack. crack you can be very easily addictive somebody who was cool six years ago snuck up on a crack rock this is not on the occupy movement has become a conduit to venue for talking about this corruption so folks that move to amend are really in my mind i. said in the bar for the critique that corporations are not persons property not speech and constitutional rights are

for people over eight hundred fifty six and dred scott the same supreme court so that people are property dred scott affirm slavery in two thousand and ten the supreme court said property is people killed decisions i don't see was was was was thought for some for them don't talk about telling. you how how. to back up that was racial was a coalition not individuals organisations coming together with a secular purpose to get to where they come from to kill and then to make it clear cut his person they do not have been hearing

a mailing about oh. money he is not political speech us was planned to do and how he was coming to talk about doctoring must be abolished we cannot overturn good republican ideas and still allow wealthy individuals just didn't have enough money to. how. i. feel cause he's a he was my kind of. monster plus it goes out of the power monopolies have you noticed people are like this double our society should we get

needed like let's use the excuse that someone's got to listen put for race in the wind as if it's not going to be all this big you know built on the backs of our morris brothers we're told forgotten the stage we're all plot by our mothers should have been the people out there to take the bill. well the here we have the most you see all of those drugs to the small of his characters raw but it is so much better if we just remember the way since our creation is. somebody who really does because. the odds are good was my. belief. that. people are

realizing it very least that the way our economic system currently runs is not democratic it's not that official to the vast majority of people and kill we have some kind of economic democracy where in the past majority of people in their communities and in their workplaces have more decisions over what these corporations do if we were. corporations and all then political democracy is a sham and then you look at the military budget the ups in the military budget the united states spends as much as the whole world somebody at a time when our infrastructure is literally a deep level grade for the american society of civil engineers we get a deed in there these days threatens the future of our economy our infrastructure is going to work as a face of those two issues which are you know just war going on there the one percent of the military industrial complex suddenly we are solutions to all the issues really there's money to invest in the new resisting the economy you know

certainly there's money to reform and whom so that we see energy you can turn roads into solar power that's the promise of it that's why we have our money ran on it it was frightening. frightening. that it was this target like the rest of. you here by the way and. we were right. here. and. they say that the occupy movement major victory to date is that we have changed the conversation that people are now debating issues such as wealth inequality at this

point i think we can all agree there is no debate there is inequity when it comes to wealth period full stop and it is growing and the super rich are not super rich because of some force of nature like summer morphing into fall or heat always going to cold they are super rich as a result of their active participation in. or their willingness to be accessories to you criminally rig the homicidal force of a system what the occupy movement has done and why people armed with nothing more than an idea are being suppressed often violently is to acknowledge that most only issues are connected to the internet or activists or through health care reform advocates or housing or labor rights advocates will banks the reform advocates you name it are now all shining a light on the root cause of inequity you see our foreign policy does in fact limit our options when it comes to health care reform a shareholder capitalism one that demands growth every quarter is directly

contributing to the assault on collective bargaining issues the american dream itself the way it is understood by many as a mistress rags to riches anyone could be a millionaire greed is good grab the most toys before you die each rose should be euthanised for the greater good and the birth of a new american dream based on equity sustainability and the general welfare of the people should be brought into being and by people i mean people not corporations i was out here during the good for no education. it was a martin luther king day and two thousand people total strangers were out of each other on the streets were having conversations across class and race lines and all the sudden we felt oh. well so this new better you can't there's no messiah going to get elected by this system and deliver open change we can believe it so how will the occupy movement that has wisely stayed away from promoting

political parties or individual politicians navigate the minefield of the potentially co-opting force that is the presidential election cycle now this year is just going to be nuts we've never seen this much money spent on a political process in the history of the world. and this comes at a time for. or a movement that is to terminally to. this mad influx of money and politics so it's going to be a really scary contrast and the challenge of this movement is to create a counter narrative is to show that the justice of its cause is more interesting than anything these candidates can put on television i mentioned at the beginning that this movie is an invitation for you to join the occupy but there are no membership dues no papers to sign all that is required is the willingness to see the world as it is and decide that you are going to be part of the solution occupy

is less of an organization and more of an organism a living breathing multi and force that refuses to find me she will be pushed into a corner this organism is still a baby and the narrative it will be telling in the years to come is yours to write what's your alternative it isn't easy to do when you feel the need to limit the make up your kitty still. seems to be killed by the end of the. book. just. thankfully when you said it better myself so when they say why occupy what will your answers the first time in decades people will really discussing the world happen leaders like and how can we

bring a better world and i think this historical lesson the kids who would like to read about israel have to keep coming back and coming back to the didn't because they knew it. and they knew they could change the place actually looking at things from the mountaintop. i'm. i think.
