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 and then american movement i don't even think in the thirty's that the communist party took 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

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. there was handed. it. to the family to sit. down. it was not right. i served in iraq in two thousand and four in two thousand and six i was in the second battle of. allusion november two thousand and four as a human being and as
2:33 am
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 we were 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 taxpayers in united states have need 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 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 there enough one point four trillion dollars in for. every home in america to one hundred percent solar energy. is
2:34 am
over or it could convert every home in america through one hundred percent wind energy nothing times over for groceries for everyone the country free for two years or to 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 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
2:35 am
grow up willing to fly a plane into the building how many trillions are we prepared to spend on inventing that. 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 to 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 has now hit one trillion dollars that averages out to. many four thousand per student it's now
2:36 am
larger than credit card debt in this country and it comes just as an entire generation is just starting out. i have to. pass. i. was. going. i. was. thinking that if your goal anybody would have predicted that the cold rainy day in november of two thousand you would have to our. young people out of the streets in new york city. because something is we journalists are beyond
2:37 am
here. oh the wheel has so many bright. young people might be on a global stage with affordable education do you think it is a miscarriage of justice that there is in fact the whole student loan debt credit card debt when congress raises the 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 and not go to college we don't have a nice. workforce anymore we're for the workforce that we have right now it's
2:38 am
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 yet and that's one of the problems in that that's where this problem is coming and that's why people are speaking up that's why that why i'm here there are no bankruptcy protections for any student loans because the only one and all of us history that you can't ever default on you can ever discharge this with a car see the idea of 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 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 do 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.
2:39 am
how do. you. write code like this you know it's really about who we believe 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 entire sam's protests this summer because to see thousand plus people getting arrested like that willfully is pretty amazing fred a message to all of you to care here is darcy. so i know it's not have to go in
2:40 am
order to get to our santa ana you ask to destroy the art and so i think that you know finds out the pipeline but what happens after that and you know from another standoff with big oil i think so i think so i don't think it's the environment is going to magically go itself because we stop the high price and then the thing about the pipeline again and one reason it makes it so urgent is that that nasa scientist james hansen the brokaw boring or actually a few decades back or whatever says the piper i mean it will be game over. game over means out in front on the inhabitable earth. choose your language kelly because we don't feel that you will send us a show some of. us choose to give consent you can. choose to give to us that invigorating to. choose the stories that imply the.
2:44 am
people who are the naysayers come down and actually get a false narrative there's. a good wholesome rarity her skills to criticism were always so. and we want people to be able to deliver it to take time but. we can't force it but we're not ready to. because we see a better world. it would be. you know this organization the second that any american dreams. were created. was. i.
2:45 am
put in a fiction you know. i don't 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 has done 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 but. now we can expect them to get off it on their own even on that in the smoking a crack for money by. trying to be very easily addictive somebody who was cool six years ago snuck up on a crack rock this is not the occupy movement has become a conduit to venue for talking about this corruption and so folks that move to amend the real. in my mind. set in the bar for the critique
2:46 am
that corporations are not persons property not speech 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 cannot the supreme court said property is people killed decisions i didn't say was i was right i was spokesperson for the bottom telling them how about cutting the wasn't a coalition not individuals organisations coming together with a secular purpose to donate to where they come from to fill in that much to make it clear cut you just heard that they didn't know how to begin here emailing them

2:48 am
monstrosity it's a power monopoly have you noticed a life as our society shapes he gets needed like us use the excuse that someone's got to put for a sure win as if it's not going to be all this you know built on the backs of the morris brothers we're all forgotten the thing we're all taught by our mothers. the people out there today so what's the payoff. for all the hero he has the most you see on the bull run to the small of his. tracks like so much better just the. cars. the cars this was because he was.
2:49 am
that people are realizing it very least that the way our economic system currently runs is 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 in the we look at the military budget city of new jersey which used to spend as much as the world somebody at a time when our infrastructure is literally a deep level grade according the american society of civil engineers we get deep in there these days is the future of our economy their infrastructure is going to work as a face of those two issues which are you just don't fear the one percent. in the military industrial complex suddenly we are solutions to all the issues really there is
2:50 am
money to invest in the new resisting the economy no selling his money to reform it looms them out we see energy as you can turn roads into solar panels that's not possible we like with our money in france. right now. writing. that it was this mother target like the birth. of your. street. we are right. here. because. they say that the occupy movements major victory to date is that we have changed
2:51 am
the conversation that people are now debating issues such as western equality 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 are always going to hold they are super rich as a result of their active participation in or 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 all of the issues are connected antiwar activists or through health care reform advocates or housing or labor rights advocates will thank the reform advocates you name it are now all shining a light on the root cause of inequity. see our foreign policy does in fact limit our options when it comes to health care reform
2:52 am
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 used and i used 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 inauguration. it was a martin luther king day. two thousand people total strangers were out of each other on the streets we had 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 so
2:53 am
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 a movement that is determinately 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 arctic. but there are no membership dues no papers to sign all that is required is the willingness to see
2:54 am
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 living breathing 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 but it isn't easy to do you need you to listen to you well in the coming keep your kitty still. believed to be disembodied putin doesn't speak. to them. just smile and. thankfully the new senate better myself so when they say why occupy what will your answers the first time in decades people will really discussing the world have to be this way and how can we
