for greed because of all the money they make and what they're trying to do to us and everybody else at the body say it's about saving a million dollars next year what do you think that 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 them in that's right occupy wall street smarts there's no 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 fall markers 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 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 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. hours 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 to them but it itself and every congressional district in the country nobody really believes that the undisputed rate is that they are 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 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 the world to change their terror there is. a crime committed down for far too many people into the world a city that destroyed. math the world. it was not. good for you. i served in iraq

in two thousand and four in two thousand and six i was in the second battle of. illusion november of 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 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 taxpayers 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 annual 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 there enough one point four trillion dollars could convert every home in america to one hundred percent solar energy five 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 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 debt. two countries launch hostilities resulting in

innocent civilians dead and counting ask yourself how many orphans. tonight in afghanistan. are we prepared to spend on and then. 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 larger than credit card debt in this country and it comes just as an entire generation is just starting out. in the. the. year ago anybody would have predicted. that rainy day in november two thousand you would have our

our young people out of the streets in new york city and she's across something history and we journalists of the are here. so. we'll do it as. children all right. hold. on a global stage with affordable education you are listening it is a miscarriage of justice it is in fact the whole student loan debt and there is pretty bad 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 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 why i'm 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 it with a car seat the idea of you 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 a 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. break a code like this because it's really about who we believe in this year we imagine in other words just all these effects are so massive whether it's you know. the tar sands i think of the size of florida as 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 was pretty amazing had a message to all of you. is tar sands oil is not at the coke you know if you get tarzan 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 who broke with warrior actually a few decades back over. says the piper will be. game over means are going on in habitable earth. wealthy british style.

i. mean if they believe me we're creating it as we go. and i think of it until people hear the naysayers come down on my offer and actually get it all i never could understand. the closest i'm not aware of a host of stupid criticisms were i'm still a dynamo and we want people to be able to say look it's going to take time i hope we can force one of the things right because we see a better world. we have a vision. you know this organization of the center for the new american dream. creatively i

. i oh i oh . ok it's time to put in a bit you know was enough to mention at the end you know they say all this out of 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 we can expect them to get off it on their own even on that and the smoking a crack. was. only a crack i mean 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 that 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 mean see was was was was fought for arson from god told them to like. you was who was in the man i mentioned

was the culmination was individuals organisations coming together with a secular purpose. to where they come to you know and then to make it clear cut away his. but they didn't know how you can hear him yelling about how that money is not political speak. clearly to then probably he's coming tempos doctrines must be abolished he cannot overturn corporate functionality and still allow wealthy individuals to stand out enough the money out. half.

past the. house. all because he's the way he would not want to find something ha it was all about if the law could be months law city look around at the power monopolies have you noticed people like this double our society chase me gets me just like you with the excuse that someone's gotta lose with some cooperation the way it as if it's not going to go be all that they don't build on the backs of all more it's by those words all forgotten the phrase we're all taught by our mothers can put people out there to take over the pale coolest play ball the harry has the most usually all of those drugs they call to brief patrick and projects like that if the film looks better if we just remember it because it's the way kids palace creation it is. people who somebody just quote really good because creative spirit is at least

those people because that was how. little people. know how. yes and 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 in the you look at the military budget you don't see the military budget that uses 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

a deed in there these days or it is the future of our economy very infrastructure is going to work and so if you face of those two issues which are you know just war going on here the one percent the military industrial complex suddenly your solutions to all the issues really there is money going to exist 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 have our russian friends on the right it was frightening. frightening. that it was this mother targeted like. you. you're right it was. street. we were right. here. and.

they say that the occupy movement major victory did. it is that we have changed the conversation that people are now debating issues such as well some quality 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 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 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 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 loosened 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 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 some of us knew better than you can there's no messiah going to get elected by this system and deliver. open 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 contract 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 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 you all turn it in if you talk to somebody just to get the audience you listen to you get the image coming to your kid he still believed to be killed by the intelligent. agent didn't. do.

it thankfully in the senate better myself so when they say why occupy what will your answers the first time in decades people will really discuss. does the world have to be this way how can we bring a better way. i think this historical lesson from your life and freedom they keep coming back and coming back again because. they can't seem to actually. think.

there are twelve cities in the united states in which half of the people with hiv aids lives within a year. this is a problem that. substantially like the big elephant in the room and nobody wanted to talk about there were really good public health campaigns that people were really focused on this problem you certainly should be able to. see my suffering.
