wish i. could. run away but. i guess. i work for. my father is sort of the way you are here and an assistant to the man i'm speaking with here vice president of seat anyway district one chris shelton one of the groups c.w.a. represents the rising workers and as of june two thousand and twelve the horizon workers he represents have been working without a contract for over a year except this round of contracts is different the rising is trying to break everything my father worked for his whole career could be gone within his lifetime

so many debra's people who are many walks of life that recognize that we are the not percent of the time of record profits of rights it is us to the very same people that have made them look at it and in a rich corporation that they now want to go to will benefit acceptable from up they want to feel their eyes that it should be the poster child for corporate greed because of all the money they make and what they're trying to do to us and everybody else at the bar you say it's about saving a million dollars next year but what do you think that this car negotiations is really about this car negotiation 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 why i like you by wall street's message and on message are exactly the same corporate greed is destroying this country and we cannot let it so we have very close ties with the communication workers before september seventeenth we were already supporting the fall markers and. 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 scenes is 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 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 to want to get a standing ovation from all democrats and republicans just the wide view the bottom line of the military industrial complex. it's just so happens that it itself and

every congressional district in the country nobody really believes that the undisputed great is they are 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 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.

a crime. down for far. too many fans. sitting. around. the world. it was not a. good feeling. that. i served in iraq in two thousand and four in two thousand and six i was in the second battle of office are enough 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 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 them and people if you're not convinced our foreign policy. is morally bankrupt perhaps we should talk about money taxpayers in

the 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 end you will energy costs more to every household in america for 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 could convert every home in america to one hundred percent solar energy. times over or it could convert every home in america to one hundred percent wind energy nine 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 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 are still it is resulting in over one million innocent civilians dead and counting ask yourself how many orphans 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 little man. who can do everything right 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 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. the.

the. anybody would have predicted that. you would. read the new york city. something as we journalists here. oh it's the. has. all the people. on

a global stage with affordable education. it is a miscarriage of justice that there is in fact a student loan debt 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 and 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 yet 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 inquired here there are no bankruptcy protections for any student loans this is the only loan and all of us history that you can't ever default on you can ever discharge this it 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 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. phrase plays out. like you know it's really about do we believe in this you know we

imagine another world just all these effects are so massive whether it's b.p. dumped a bunch of oil the. tar sands i think of the size of florida the split in alberta i was really interested in the tar sands protests this summer because to see thousand plus people getting arrested like that willfully it was pretty amazing that a message to all of you. is tar sands oil is not at the gulf you know you can't hire santa out you have to destroy it 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 is going to magically heal itself because we stop the pipeline and the thing about the pipeline and one reason that makes this so urgent is that that nasa scientist james hansen the brokaw boring are

actually a few decades back or whatever our says the piper really will be game over. game over means out of. you know how to bowl right. the cool. way way. way .

today. these are the images.

of canada. we. think that he believes he's reading it as we go. and

i think that until the people who are the naysayers come down and actually get all their narrative there's. a good dose of rarity here so stupid criticism we're awaiting the day. and we want people to be able to use the live it's to take time. we can't force we're not ready. because we see a better world. we have a vision. you know this organization the second that any american dreams. were created. was.

ok it's time for intervention 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 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 and think. that we can expect them to get off it on their own even on that in the smoking a crack. crack rock if they're 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 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 didn't say was i was right i was sunk first from the bottom telling them how about cutting the budget i was a culmination of individuals organisations coming together with a secular purpose. to where they come to kill and then to make it clear cut his person they didn't know how to begin hearing emailing about how about

a week that money is not political speech us. today and how he was committed to doctrines must be about why we cannot overturn could be punished and still our wealthy individuals just didn't have enough money oh thank you. oh. oh. oh. oh oh. oh oh. oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh. easily he would ha ha it was all my. monstrosity around the power monopolies have you noticed cecil i like this double

our society shake he gets me just like us use the excuse that someone's got to listen put for a show the wind as if it's not good we all this you don't build on the backs of the more it's brothers we're all forgotten the face we're all taught by our mothers should have been the people out there today show us the pale coolest well the hearing is the most easily all of those drugs it's all his. rocks like so much better just remember it was the races. because. he was the cause was because he was.

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 till 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 the you look at the military budget you don't see the new troops but you see spends as much as the whole 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 the 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 the issues he's selling his money to invest in the new resisting the return no selling his money

to reform it looms them out wasting energy you can turn roads into solar panels that's not possible we like. our running friends on the right. right. right. that makes it obvious to some other target like the president. there are easier. street kids out there we. might. hear how. they say that the occupy movements major victory to date is that we have changed the conversation that people are now debating issues such as russian 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 some are morphing into fall or he'd always go into a hole 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 missoni issues are connected to anti-war 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 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 day before inauguration. it was a martin luther king day. 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 hope and change we can believe 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 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 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 a mishna 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 is it time to leave it to listen to please you listen to you well in the coming talk to kitty feel. pleased to speak to somebody to sit in judgment to speak to you just didn't think you'd. just smile and. thankfully kind of 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 into this historical lessons about life and freedom i still have a comment that is coming back to this because. i think they could same thing crazy to actually getting this thing from them and.

choose your language. according to the color though if they feel some of the. treatments that the consensus didn't. choose the opinions that you figure a couple. choose to stories get him to. choose access to. wealthy british style. markets why not scandals. find out what's really happening to the global economy because reports. there are twelve cities in the united states in which half

of the people with hiv aids lives within a year of a diagnosis of. over sixty two percent of. the list with this is a problem that frankly is substantially preventable it was like the big elephant in the room and nobody wanted to talk about it they were really good public health campaigns that people were really focused on this problem you certainly should be able have a lot less a lot less human suffering and. and .
