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
9:31 am
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 to want to get a standing ovation from both democrats and republicans just be the wiser. the
9:32 am
bottom line of the military industrial complex which just so happens to have invented itself in every congressional district in the country nobody really believes that the undisputed rate as 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 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
9:33 am
a cultural religious and geo political china shop didn't change. there was. crime. down there were far. too many than. 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 often enough 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 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
9:34 am
a million people if you're not convinced our foreign policy is morally bankrupt perhaps we should talk about money taxpayers in 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 for 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 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 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
9:35 am
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 right 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
9:36 am
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.
9:37 am
9:38 am
hold. on a global stage with affordable education. it is a miscarriage of justice it is in fact a student loan debt and 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 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 it with
9:39 am
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 you do you debtors union could renegotiate a better contract 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.
9:40 am
great place like this you know it's really about believing in it but to open this year 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 just 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 that a message to all of you. is tar sands oil is i'd have to go in order to get tired standpoint of 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 heal 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
9:41 am
a few decades back or whatever says the pipeline is it will be game over. game over millions out in front inhabitable or. speak your language. programs or documentaries in arabic it's all here on t.v. reporting from the world talks specifically ip interviews intriguing story to tell you. altie arabic to find out more visit
9:43 am
lead . 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 a false narrative there's. a good host of people rarely who are still stealing criticism we're away so. we want people to be able to deliver it to the big time but. we can't force it or not the way they did it because we
9:44 am
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 you think. that we can expect them to
9:45 am
get off and on their own even on that in the smoke in a crack. 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 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 cannot the supreme court said property is people killed decisions i don't see was
9:46 am
was was present for them don't talk to them telling them how about cutting the money should be a coalition because individuals are getting the issues coming together with a secular purpose. to where they come to kill and then to make a clear cut his person they do not have been hearing about. that money is not political speech thanks. to ben fawley he's coming top post doctrines must be about why we cannot overturn corporate functionality and still allow wealthy individuals just didn't have enough money oh thank you.
9:47 am
i think i'm up. to all talk. these are the he would ha ha ha it's all my. monstrosity look around at the power monopolies have you notice she's build a life as double our society shapes he gets treated like us use the excuse that someone's got to listen put her race in the wind as it is not the old you don't build on that that's a lot more it's both of those we're told forgotten the stage we're all taught by our mothers should have been the people of the us the payoff. for all the hero is the most honorable son to the small of his parish rocks like so much better
9:48 am
just remember it was the races. cause. was was because he was. bad and people are realizing it very least that the way our economic system currently runs is not democratic it's not an official 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
9:49 am
political democracy is a sham and in the we look at the military budget city of new jersey but you see 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 a deep in their faces drip is the future of our economy very infrastructure is going to work and so the face of those two issues which are you're just going on fear the one percent. in the military industrial complex suddenly we are solutions to all the issues that mean there is money to invest in the new resisting the economy no selling his money to reform it looms them out we see energy you can turn roads into solar panels that's not possible. like with our money which ran on it. right at the. right. place and it was to some other target like the rest. of the earth
9:50 am
by the way. st kitts. we are right. here. 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 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 and the super rich are not super rich because of some force of nature like summer morphing into fall or heat always going to be told they are super rich as a result of their active participation in or their willingness to be accessories to
9:51 am
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 antiwar 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
9:52 am
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 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 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
9:53 am
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 a living breathing multi and force that refuses to find mishka 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 it isn't easy to deliver. to you claim
9:54 am
it doesn't come to kitty feel. to speak to somebody to sit in judgment because he didn't didn't think you'd. 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 will really be discussing the world happen leaders like and how can we bring a better world and i think this is still a hole left in the air you would like to read about a private company that is coming back to build good. faith. and they knew they could change the place and actually. think something out of.
9:56 am
my juggling job. to hack work and get caught when lobbyists money and lawmakers are combined together that's where the problem of corruption comes from. i don't know the document's. keep up a smart look. there is also. another well behind that which is how to influence things situations steer clear of provocations don't answer any question asked came into the office and found banos honey around the office and lots of strange faces around someone said what's what's happening will somebody please tell me what's going on and they said oh we've come to occupy your building. possibly they want to do a confrontation possibly they wanted me to ring up the police have the police come
9:57 am
in through the mount that didn't seem to be a good idea to learn the european way with brussels business and in the kristie it's one person one fold but in brussels business it's one euro one fault. he is. 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 realize that everything is i don't know i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture.
9:58 am
in the news a secret laboratory to mccurdy was able to build a new most sophisticated robot which all unfortunately doesn't give a dollar amount anything turns mission to teach the creation why it should care about humans and world this is why you should care watch only on the dot com. there is is trash to get rid of. but it's also a treasure. worth fighting for. and a trap with no way out.
