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 risin is trying to break you everything my father worked for his whole career could be gone within his lifetime so many diverse 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 the very same people that have made good. on a rich corporation that they now want to you will benefit from up they want to fuel 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 said the body saves about seventy million dollars next year what do you think this kind of goshen is really about this kyra 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 democrats right occupy wall street smarts is no message are exactly the same corporate greed is destroying this

country that we cannot let it slip we have built very close ties with the communication workers before september seventeenth we were already supporting the foam 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 having this relationship with labor labor seen 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 i 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 hard. i'm

an american movement i don't even think in the thirties 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 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 to want to get

a standing ovation from both democrats and republicans just keep them alive at the bottom line of the military industrial complex which just so happens that it itself and every congressional district in the country nobody 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 distinguished 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 change. there was handed. down. to the family. sitting. around. the world. 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 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 to 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 taxpayers in united states have made one point four trillion dollars total war spending in iraq 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 are enough. one point four trillion dollars could convert every home in america to one hundred percent solar energy. over or it could convert every home in america to one hundred percent wind energy knowing times over for groceries for everyone in 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 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 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 inventing 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 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 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. to.

thank. god i. was. getting your go anybody would have predicted that. you would have. people out of the streets in new york city. because something is we journalists are beyond here.

oh. we'll do whatever he has so many. 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 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 think 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 it with a car see the idea of do you debtors union is based on a 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 you 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. 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 somehow also whether it's b.p. . oil. the tar sands i think that the size of florida is 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. style of your year is tar sands oil is not ethical you know you can't tarzan go out you have to destroy it and so i think that you know finds out 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 go 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 broke with warrior actually a few decades back or whatever says the piper i mean it will be. game over means out in front on inhabitable right. well. it's technology innovation all the least of melanin spun around russia we've got the future covered. it is easy to. see.

why. let me let me i want to know what all let me ask you a question. here. is what rat in the bank we are not.

ready for the scientists banks to get into the race will be i'd like to talk about the surveillance.

we. believe. we're reading it as we go. and i think that until the people who are the naysayers come down and actually get a false narrative there's. a close and still not a rarity here so it's to use a criticism world of the day. and we want people to be able to use the. existing time. but we can't force we're not to have a good day because we see in this world. we have a vision. you know this organization of the center for the new american dream.

we're creating. i. i. i i i i i. i. i. i i i. i i think. it's time to put in a bit you know i don't see this intervention at the end you only see 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 if they don't change their behavior and for us we're dealing with folks who have a serious addiction to corporate money was now when cheney said them to get off and on their own even on that in the smoking a crack rock bottom i was i am trying to be very easily addictive

somebody who was cool six years ago snuck up on a crack rock this not to occupy movement has become a conduit to venue for talking about this corruption and so folks that move to amend that are really in my mind i. said in the bar for the critique that corporations are not persons but he's broken his 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 and ten the supreme court said property is people write those decisions i mean see. was was was thought for some time don't tell me i'm telling.

you thank. god that was the culmination was individuals organisations coming together with a secular purpose. to come to you and then to make a clear cut his person they do not have been hearing about. how his. money is not political speech thank you. to learn how he's coming tempos doctrines must be abolished he cannot overturn corporate functionality and still our wealthy individuals just didn't find it enough the money to.

have. all the pieces that he would have had a positive ha it was all biased democracy must love city look around at the power monopolies have you noticed people like this double our society chase we get treated like let's use with the excuse that someone's got to lose with some push for a shoe the will as it's not going to go be all that they don't build on the backs of all morris brothers we're all forgotten the stage will all come out by our mothers can the people out there do they still have the pale coolest well the harry has the most usually all of those drugs do they call his characters props like that it be so much better if we just remember the corporations our creation is.

somebody just quote really good because it is at least the people who cause that was how. people think. that. people are realizing it very least that the way our economic system currently runs he's not democrat it's not that official to the vast majority. 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 ups and the military budget that used to spend 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 are you for structures going to work and so if you face of those two issues which are you know just war going on here the one percent in the military industrial complex suddenly your solutions to all the issues i mean there's money to invest in the new resisting the economy you know certainly there's money to reform and whom we see energy so you can turn roads into solar power and that's where possible we think that's why we put our money in france and it was frightening. frightening. that it was this was our target like the rest. easier by the way. we are right.

here. and. 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 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 or 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 missoni issues are connected to the internet or activists who are through healthcare 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 euthanized 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 not ration. 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 a leg. 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 determined. to. this mad and flux 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 arc 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 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 do you feel. today you have the image coming to your kitty still. to keep it until the.

book. comes out thankfully in the senate better myself so when they say why occupy what will your answers the first time in decades people will really discussing does the world have to meet is like and how can we bring a better world and i think this historical lessons about kids who would like to read about it they had to keep coming back and coming back little did because they knew it. i think they could change to places that are currently playing from the not.
