thousand vietnamese in the last few years a couple of late and over twenty years of this involvement. and i think fifty the odds have been weighted in favor of secrecy the classified department of defense files revealed that since one thousand nine hundred forty five presidents truman eisenhower kennedy and johnson had misled congress and the public about unconstitutional military actions those beginning in the one nine hundred sixty s. included secret raids on cambodia laos and north vietnam richard nixon i know is to say that much the same way was continuing the war while presenting to the public that he was on the process of getting out and we speak of america's priorities the first priority must always be peace for america and the work. revelation of the secret pentagon documents for street protests and anger spread across the country decorated war heroes and civilians marched together protesting

the unconstitutional undeclared war asked the united states has been at war under every president since nine hundred forty one however since the end of world war two u.s. presidents have authorized the illegal and unconstitutional wars of aggression. according to the us constitution only congress can declare war but presidents have consistently found ways to wage war without congressional approval. between one nine hundred fifty and two thousand the us government was overthrown sixty democratically elected governments dropped bombs on over thirty nations and attempted assassinations of over sixty foreign leaders. millions die in these undeclared wars. i was just a kid probably seven years old. and i was looking at. pictures

in a book. i said to myself what a crazy way try to solve it. and as the years have gone by. even more bent. that seven year old. fear of communism remained at fever pitch in the early one nine hundred eighty s. . common president reagan turned his focus to the resource rich countries of central and south america central america. the effect the security and it will be. and central america is much closer to the united states than many of the trouble spots the concerns we knew that ready. to throw in the country. system because for one hundred years two hundred

years who lived through dollars. for every dollar we invest is so good for the tremendous source oh then go for the nuts to for forty years the united states received the first choice on the ninety percent of nicaraguan exports in return the us government supported the dictatorship of the some most of dynasty the family used land confiscation and political repression to rule over the nicaraguan people. in one thousand nine hundred seventy nine the samosa those were driven out after a long war waged by the popular sandinista party led by daniel ortega. one nine hundred eighty two in an attempt to thwart president reagan's plans to overthrow the nicaraguan government congress passed the boland amendment which prohibited u.s. military. aid to the contras in one thousand nine hundred four daniel ortega was

elected democratically this government implemented new social services for providing free education health care and land reform. reagan bens used ortega's socialist policies and economic aid received from the soviet union to start a covert war using the national security council the administration sent secret aid to the mercenary soldiers known as the contras. despite the passage of the boland amendment the arming and support of the contras became the most ambitious paramilitary and political action mounted by the cia since vietnam. ortega's new sandinista government turned to the american peace activists for help and. we've learned that if that requires them to know or tell us why to bring people down she says look i don't care who you bring don't bring down republicans

democrats but we want people to know who. your country is the state in our country. is finding this out a need. arise out of the powder but. yeah . great. bring your thought it was a month ago cdma job to forget that the focus of the law has a funny but it was it i love nearly. four hundred.

and. more than ten over i'm happy. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to be ultra rich point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one business showed you know ford to miss the one and only boom but. i knew that other u.s. americans were going to make out i wound up serving in a war zone and we literally sent thousands of people to see the war unit go out

where they would come home and speak in their churches right up to and so on reagan was forced to admit that the us was actively working to overthrow ortega's democratically elected government. to gain political support the president presented the contras as a people's democratic movement as a condition of our aid i would insist on civilian control over all military forces but no human rights abuses are tolerated that any financial corruption to be rooted out that american aid to go only to those committed to democratic groups is. what i want an egg i want one thousand and six i was a johnny come lately. more than the first week of contras these u.s. funded terrorists attacked three charming whopper chairs east arrest early and killed eleven eleven accomplice chinos. i saw five or. those compazine i was coming in on

know where the power is a fact that the. united states of america legal both international and domestic law. in fundamental standards of decency centers to. people all over the world and i wanted to demonstrate my charlotte area with the people and be a man opposition to the power coming out of my own country. against fear against. those things. because its main danger is bad century. centuries. in one thousand eighty six and one nine hundred eighty seven brian the other. that arinze participated in

the path more than veteran peace action teams of the past teams walked through nicaragua's war torn villages gathering proof of human rights violations by the us back home terms. and so do not need to stay to assume. that noting abstract he still would do made the stage a little warm in the sound of the war in central america. anything is going to happen to you it was going to be responsible. well there's only one country that's already in its united states we are there farming. areas. and so i think the terrorists from the states are responsible in the course of my shaping the true for what we were doing. in central america through. i met brian wilson. we were talking about the situation about what we could do to

protest u.s. foreign policy and they're clearly in central america. where they're going to door and. so door a lot of this. was measured her in its own people i mean i came away from their disgust of the my country with doing those poor people saying they were. so treated myself we got talking about what are we going to do. barbara we started to say you know we know there's a school injury coming up and you. know i met brian because there were a number of vietnam veterans who were alarmed about what was happening in central america and charlie let's keep brian wilson murphy and join. decided

to bring it to the issues. on sunday evening president reagan urged the american people to support his aid package to the nicaraguan rebels the contras he asked for one hundred million dollars seventy million of which is military aid he called the government a cancer and nicaragua a soviet beachhead in north america and a command post for international terror you know the truth about them they're fighting and. they are the people of our founding fathers and the brave men and women of the french resistance we cannot turn away. is not right. it is right versus wrong. to. me because. i was depressed the leadership. stood.

up to me. and. we both were. totally opposed to the war. and opposition to. back. before i did this for. a significant.

and in protest of u.s. foreign policy in central america. the most powerful statement that i felt that i could make outside of actually someway do you know your life well then following up on that came brian and uncle george was. fast needs to have strategic objectives. brian was really determined that the objective of this fast was to change u.s. foreign policy toward nicaragua. you see some people say. i went in washington is many did to support the veterans gathered steps of the capitol and i remember the inspirational that i and others. charlie and brian. murphy and george myself. they were doing something that

was part of. we were talking about nicaragua and what we were doing but it was bigger than the karate purcell south central america it was white america and of course yourself our foreign policy work and what it meant to those on the receiving . end how this was all being carried out with. this after. so obviously over these years president class. congress did not. say there. is a final song. in the face of all of justice and liberty as the fast got on to thirty five and forty days and that's approaching the time when people began dying from fast like this and although they were being monitored. they

were getting weaker and weaker and we were quite alarmed they were. question can come up relative to fasting is it it gets to human life to take your own life but. i can take my own life if i want to want to know if my life for a. fast. approaches to. wish led to the. domestic terrorist suspects. identified five hundred solitary actions around the states that were in concert whether. it was called conspiracy

possibly be construed as hurting someone else.
