i guess. i work for. my father is sort 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 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 of the brightest people whom he walks of life recognize that we are the not percent of the time of record profits of rice a disaster the very same people that have made a lucrative and a rich corporation that they now want to you go to where benefits are acceptable from up want to feel the rising it should be the poster child of corporate greed because of all the money they make so much and 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 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 i 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 sees 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 they're

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 thanks . that you do want to get a standing ovation from both democrats and republicans just from a lie that the bottom line of the military industrial complex which just so happens that it itself in every congressional district in the country nobody really believes that the undisputed rate is that 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 turn anyone any nobel peace prizes or anything they 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 didn't change. there was a. crime and it. were far too many people to the family. sitting. was a mass. of words 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 alpha jar and allusion 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 that we say we're the greatest country in the world but we go into you know people in their country by. we don't stop genocide in africa we don't help people that we can't 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 tax payers 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 end you will 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 five times over or it could convert every home in america to one hundred percent wind energy nine times over for groceries for everyone 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 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 everything. 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 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. the. the. years ago anybody would have predicted that. you would always. be

out of streets in new york city. something is real journalists here. all. we'll. see children ok. hold. on a global stage with affordable education. it is a miscarriage of justice is it fair to hold a student loan debt them don't use 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 career 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 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 one and all of us history that you can't ever default on you can ever discharge this suv a car see the idea of 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 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. thank you. great job like this you know it's really about believing in fact it's you know we imagine another world just all these effects are so massive whether it's. dumped a bunch of. the tar sands i think of the size of florida this point in 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 that a message to all of you. is tar sands oil is not have to go in order to get our

standpoint out you ask to destroy it and so i think that you know fine stop the pipeline but what happens after that you know i know there's a 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 a pipeline and the thing about the pipeline and one reason that makes this so urgent is that that nasa scientist james hansen the brokaw warrior actually a few decades back or whatever says the pipeline is it will be game over game over means out in front 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 you hear or see some other part of it and realized everything you saw you

don't. charge becomes a big picture. she good lumber tour. was to build. which all unfortunately it doesn't give a darn about anything tim's mission to teach me the creation and why it should care about humans and world events this is why you should care watch only on the dog call. me it is easy to. eat. six.

we. take a piece. we're 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 where he has told steve the criticisms were ok so

the dialogue and we want people to be able to use the lift it's going to take time . but we can't force it or not the way they can. because we see a better world. it would be. you know this organization the second that any american dreams. were created. was. put in a fiction you know was heresy this intervention at the end you know they 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 when cheney said them to get off it on their own if you don't get any smoking a crack. crack rock can 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 didn't see was i was right i was person from the bottom telling them how about cutting the measure was the culmination of individuals organisations coming together with a secular purpose to demand to know where they come from to kill and then to make a clear cut his place that they didn't know how to begin hearing a mailing about hello that money is not political speech thank you. today and how he was committing topcoat doctrines

must feel like he cannot overturn the functionality and still allow wealthy individuals to step out and the money. thank you. i think of. you all talk. these are the he was kind of. months was sitting around at the power monopolies have you noticed she's still alive has doubled our society shay's he gets treated like bless you with the excuse that someone's got to listen put her race in the wind as if it's not going to be all

this you know built on the backs of our morris brothers we're all forgotten the thing we're all taught by our mothers have been the people of the us the pale. well the hero is the most usually honorable son to the small of his. bronx like so much better just remember it was the races. because. he was the cause was because he was. thanks. 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 you look at the military budget city of new jersey for you to spend as much as the world somebody at a time when our infrastructure is literally a deep level graded where the american society of civil engineers we get deep in their faces rip is the future of our economy very infrastructure is going to work and so the face of those two issues which are you just going on fear the one percent. in the military industrial complex suddenly we are solutions to all the issues really there is money to invest in the new resisting the economy no selling his money to reform it looms them out wasting energy so you can turn roads into solar panels that's not possible we like with our money in france

on the. right. right. place and it works to some other target like the rest. of the earth like the red streak. we are right. here. because. 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 are always going to be told 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 out here during the game for no education. 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 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 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 is less of an organization and more of an organism 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 that isn't easy to do to get. to know you well in the coming come your kitty feel. pleased to be delighted to sit in judgment. didn't you. just smile and just. thankfully kind of said it better myself so when they say why occupy what will your answers the first time in decades people were really discussing does the world have to be this way and how can one bring a better world and this is still a whole lessons about life and freedom i describe it coming back and coming back a bit because. i think they could change the place to actually. think

something out of. such a. cut they said. that. i said. that sounds.
