i guess. i work for. my father is a seat of the way 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 is rising waters 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 life so many diverse people who are many walks of life recognize that we are the not percent of the time of record profits of rights it is often the very same people that have made them look at it and in a rich corporation like they not want to you will benefit acceptable from up on a few there i said it should be the poster child for corporate greed because of all the money they make them look at trying to do to us and everybody else at the body say it's about saving a million dollars next year but what do you think this car negotiation 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 in and try not to buy wall street's message and on message our exactly the same corporate greed is destroying this

country and we cannot let it. 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 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 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 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 you. thank. that

you two 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 have invented itself in every congressional district in the country somebody 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 you distinguish members of the norwegian nobel committee it's 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 to change. their us. down. into the. city. it was not right. i started 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 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. 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 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 for 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 ask yourself how many orphans are going to bed 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 you. can do

every. 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 evening of all the time bombs in 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. i have to.

thank. god i. was. thinking that a year ago anybody would have predicted that. you would have. our young people out of the streets in new york city. because something is real journalist to be out here.

so. we'll do whatever he has so many. people. on a global stage with affordable education. and it is a challenge just because they're using that 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 comfortable jobs. 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 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 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 you 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 will just all these effects are so massive whether it's b.p. . oil or. the tar sands i think the size of florida is from an alberta i was really interested in the car sales protests this summer because to see thousand plus people getting arrested like that willfully is pretty amazing credit mess. no your derriere is tar sands oil is not enough to go in order to get tarzan go out you ask to destroy the ark and so i think that you know fine stop 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 going to magically go itself because we stop

the high price and then the thing about the pipeline and one reason that makes this so urgent is that that nasa scientist james hansen broke well boring or actually three decades back or whatever says the pipeline is it will be game over game over i'm inside and out on the inhabitable area. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and you hear or see 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. in the news she good lumber tour in two mccurry was able to build

a most sophisticated robot which on fortunately doesn't give a dollar amount anything to nj mission to teach me creation why it should care about humans and we're going this is why you should care only on the dog call. he. says.

i am. we. think that he believes we're reading it as we go. and i think that until the people who are the naysayers come down and actually get it all. there's. a good dose of rarity here still steve bruce is a world so. we want people to be able to use the lift it's to take time but. we can't force we're not ready. because we see a better world. it would be. you know this organization of the second that any

american dreams. were created. in somehow put in a fiction you know. how do you 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 and on their own even on that in the smoke in

a crack. crack crack 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 i. said in the bar for the critique 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 the supreme court said property is people killed decisions i don't see. was was

what i was i just thought for some putting i'm telling them how about to become. the culmination of my individuality in the issues coming together with the secular purpose. to which they come to sell and then tell a clear cut because. they do not have been hearing about. the old. money it is not political speak thank. you he's come into doctrines must feel like he cannot overturn could be punished and still allowed wealthy individuals just didn't have enough money oh thank you.

i. hope you all talk. easily he would ha ha it was all my. monstrosity around the power monopolies have you notice she's still alive has doubled our society shake he gets like let's use the excuse that someone's gotta put for a show the wind as it is not good the older they don't build on the backs of the more it's brothers we're told forgotten the face we're all taught by our mothers should have been the people out there today show us the big. pull the hero is the most you see on the bull run to the pulpit. rocks like you better

just remember the corporations. cause. it was was was. was a thank you. thank. you . for. 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 then you look at the military budget city of new jersey but you say

spends 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 it deep in there's these days is the future of our economy very 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 economy you know certainly there's money to reform and rooms that waste the energy so you can turn roads into solar panels that's not possible we like with our money in france on it right. right. right. he said it was to smother a target like the rest. of the earth by the way and.

we are right. here. they say that the occupy movements major victory to date is that we have changed the conversation and 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 up in the super rich are not super rich because of some force of nature like summer morphing into fall or heat always going to the polls 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 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 you 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 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 in so how will the occupy movement that has wisely staying 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 a good close 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 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 less of an organization and more of an organism living breathing multi and force that refuses to find you 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 that isn't easy to do you. listen to you well and it can come into your kitty feel. that the decision to sit in judgment.

didn't you didn't. thanks lee in the senate better myself so when they say why occupy what will your answers the first time in decades people will really be discussing the world have to be this way and how can we bring a better world into this historical lessons about life and freedom i don't know how to combat it coming back to this. and they knew they could same thing crazy for taking this thing from them and.
