4:30 am
so it is about destroying our standard of living this is cooperation is trying to get what they want that they've been trying to get for the last twenty five years and we cannot let them and that's right market by wall street's message and on message are exactly the same corporate greed is destroying this country that we cannot let it slip that we have built very close ties with the communication workers before september seventeenth we were already supporting the farm workers and they responded by supporting us we went to their last rally at the headquarters they marched back to the park with us and some of them slept there they're going to be in a tough struggle that's why we're getting this relationship with labor labor sees as relieved they are i never expected when i first started contacting unions that the response would be so enthusiastic but the labor movement has been kicked around now for quite a while and they have to fight and they see people fighting and they see their fighting the same enemy and they see them reaching out this movement has shown such
4:31 am
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
4:32 am
safer and more respected around the world hey. thanks. for that you two want to get a standing ovation from both democrats and republicans just beat them alive would be the bottom line of the military industrial complex which just so happens that the ballot itself in every congressional district in the country nobody really believes that the undisputed greatest mayor 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 a thank goodness a wish members of the norwegian nobel committee citizens of america. and citizens of the world i receive this hour with deep gratitude and great humility george orwell would have had
4:33 am
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 the world didn't change there was a terror there was. a crime that it down for far too many people until they found the word of the city destroyed the city was mad. a word it was not. good feeling. i started in iraq in two thousand and four and two thousand and six i was in the second battle of. illusion november of two thousand and four as
4:34 am
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 go to five thousand troops said that we say we're the greatest country in the world but we go into 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 a million people if you're not convinced our foreign policy is morally bankrupt perhaps we should talk about money. in the united states have paid one point four trillion dollars for total war spending in iraq and afghanistan since two thousand and one never wondered what one point four trillion dollars would buy well it could be the end you will energy costs for every household in america or 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 five times over or
4:35 am
it could convert every home in america to one hundred percent wind energy nine times over for groceries for everyone in the country three 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 more 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 to come. launch hostilities resulting in over one million innocent civilians dead and counting ask yourself how many orphans are going to be. tonight in afghanistan. willing to fly
4:36 am
a plane. or are we prepared to spend on inventing that. 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 being 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 has now hit one trillion dollars that averages out to twenty four thousand per student it's now
4:37 am
larger than credit card debt in this country and it comes just as an entire generation is just starting out. that a year ago anybody would have predicted. cold rainy day in november two thousand you would have our our young people out of trance in new york city and she's across something history and we journalists of the are here.
4:38 am
so without. power we'll go over. some children ok. hold. on a global stage with affordable education and you are rich and it is a miscarriage of justice that there is in fact a whole student loan debt and there is credit card debt when congress raises loan limits schools respond to those increased loan 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 job. to 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
4:39 am
to school because the entire workforce is predicated on higher education and i think our education system hasn't caught up to our economy and that's one of the problems and that's 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't ever discharge this with a car seat the idea of you do you debtors union is based on the labor union model and what they did effectively when our economy was very different when there was a so-called unskilled labor they negotiated with the factories for better working conditions so that they could go back to work just that same way you do you debtors union could renegotiate a better contractor arrangement with our lenders so that we can reap. they are loans so it's employing an autonomous strategy of recusal so you were if you see do something you're saying no to something in favor of making things better.
4:40 am
you. break a code like this because it's really about who we believe in the next year we imagine in other words it's just all these effects are so massive whether it's b.p. . oil the. the tar sands i think that the size of florida is from an alberta i was really interested in the entire sam's protests this summer because to see thousand plus people getting arrested like that willfully is pretty amazing find a massive style of you terry here is tar sands oil is not at the coke you know if you get tired sand going out you have to destroy it and so i think that you know
4:41 am
find some 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's going to magically go itself because we stop the high price and the thing about the pipeline and one reason that makes this so urgent is that that nasa scientist james taylor broke or boring or actually a few decades back or whatever. says the piper i mean it will be. game over means out in. inhabitable or. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you. i'm something else here sees some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture.

4:45 am
put in a bit you know. i hear or see this intervention at the end you know the show you all this stuff and then they sit around somebody who has issues and problems and they talk about you know how badly that person is still and what they're going to do if they don't 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 cocaine. i mean crack rock can be very easily addictive somebody who was cool six years ago snuck up on a crack rock that's not on the occupy movement has become a conduit to then you are talking about this corruption and so folks that move to amend that are really in my mind. set. for the critique that corporations are not persons property not speech and constitutional rights are
4:46 am
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 go decisions are you see was was was was a spokesperson for them don't talk about how it was you was who was in the was the culmination was individuals organizations coming together with a secular purpose to demand to know where they come from to show him and to make it clear correlation first that they do not have been hearing a mailing about was the only thing that money is not political

4:48 am
society should we get treated like let's use the excuse that someone's got to lose was somewhat for racing the wind as if it's not going to go be all that they don't build on the backs of our morris brothers were told forgotten the phrase we're all poor by our mothers. but the people out there do they still have the bill. well the hillary has the most usually on a bull run to the mall to carry rocks but you feel much better if we just remember the corporations our creation is. somebody who was really good because. he was a good cause i. believe. that. people are
4:49 am
realizing it very least that the way our economic system currently runs not democratic it's not beneficial 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 want to have corporations and all then political democracy is a sham and then you look at the military budget the obscene the military budget the united states spends as much as the whole world combined at a time when our infrastructure is literally a deep level grade according the american society of civil engineers we get a deed in there these days britain is the future of our continent their infrastructure is falling apart as if you face of those two issues which are you know just war going on here in the one percent of the military industrial complex suddenly your solutions to all the issues i mean there's money to invest in the new green sustainable economy you know certainly there's money to reformers rooms that
4:50 am
waste the energy so you can turn roads into solar panels that's not possible we like with our money in france and it was frightening. frightening. place and it was this was our target like the rest. of you here by the way. we were right. here. and. they say that the occupy movement major victory to date is that we have changed the conversation and people are now debating issues such as wealth inequality at this
4:51 am
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 the hole they are super rich as a result of their active or to see. patient in for their willingness to be accessories to 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 war 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
4:52 am
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 game for an occupation. 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 some of us knew better than you can there's no messiah going to get elected by this system and deliver hope and change we can believe in 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 and. for a movement that is the 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 movement 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
4:54 am
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 and if you talk to somebody just to get the audience you need to do you have a living with him coming to your t.v. still believed to be killed by the indulgent. didn't you do. how. just how did you. know. thankfully the new senate better myself so when they say why occupy what will your answer the first time in decades people were really discussing does the world have to be this like and how can we bring a better world and i think this historical lessons about kids who like to read
