so after reading trash for life and a stick in the nicaraguan. invited us factory for the twenty fifth anniversary of the founding of the episode. on october fifth or in the past this plane was shot down in a car for the poor play dropping. the corporate turf that reagan had finally drained. and there was one crew member the parachuted to shake the. new regime props many of them for its. head wisconsin cure me after we arrived. the nikken arm and your dish are tribunals take i suppose out to the crash site and ask us to events we want to go on a helicopter with hostile fire so they crash right house and

a shock to us about all the flights you've been on all these covert flights of army air corps and he would course angry because he had been abandoned by the reagan administration he was basically a covert operator a mercenary he would be proud of. his capture would reveal a complex web of covert operations run by us colonel oliver north reagan's administration had bypassed congressional control and funded the contra insurgents through drug trafficking and secret arms sales to be wrong it's all secret but the house in question down blew it out in the open to make a mistake it's really hard to tehran sir no and i'm not taking any more questions it's just a second i'm going to ask a journey general meese to brief you on what we presently know what he has found in the united states why didn't he know because somebody didn't ask why. the

revelations of the iran contra affair gave new momentum to the work of the peace activists. evidence showed that the weapons were coming from the largest pentagon arms depot on the west coast california's concord naval weapons station. and i went out just to check out the situation. and discovered that on one side of the road. were literally hundreds of bloggers with all these weapons. there's a train track and these bunkers that came out and crossed the highway and then went out to the pier is where these balls were loaded on to the ships.

we had a press conference in which that are in store planning to start a forty day fast. of our hearts conscience is what we were doing and why my son was there he is fourteen years old. brian and duncan murphy and david duncan. placed themselves on the tracks. automat brain. pretty sure thing you know we just go out there and we stand and then the train slows down or stops. a couple of people cross the road and went over to the front gate of the no watson station inform them that we were done we can walk in and there was already a train that we could see. this couple of blocks cars were going to show they had to. run to be sure that the engineer knew there was a dog or something on the rocks or a. friend. to the police would probably comment some point to remove them before

they can move the train. we deliver the letter to the person at the base. that person or someone else said we understand there's going to be violence here today. and we said no no we're told people are not going to be doing any well. and then they start walking back and they say. walking back the crane started loading. was obviously the main way faster than you'd ever observe a train at that stage. i turned around. ran over bryan and i saw him play. a few

fly out. ryan's body back and forth in there that frame i watched and listening to my son screaming they killed my dad they killed my dad. and i had medical training they even had i.v. equipment in my car because i was on our as a midwife and i asked for someone to go get the idea that card nine one one we had to wait at least seventeen minutes after the first ambulance arrived because baby used to take him to the hospital and they said now it's not our jurisdiction and then we have to call in the other ambulance. this is this you're. in this. the. this

in the with the. bryans action it really opened up a lot of people to. what was going on there and why huge there and how much he had sacrifice in order to save. the conquered naval weapons station remained in the national spotlight as protesters of past and present rallied on behalf of the conference but the nickel occupy. protesters tore up this section the closest thing tracks were moved from the ground from over by train. this morning. wanted to a. few minutes we're going to be there with. good luck if you will what it. would do if for this and for me it's

a little bit. big and i just wanted to get out of this. brian immediately wanted to get out into the right back to the tracks. in the surge of nets and his heart immediately his compassion for the spotters on the train and doctors of the train he got it right away for other people even expressed anything like that no doubt they were given an order just like they were given orders and vietnam to bomb diligence. in one nine hundred eighty eight or take those government recognized apply human sacrifice come to his service to the people of nicola. to receive the nation's highest honor the old says our son deno.

this is a theory. this. was. just. the train attack drew attention to the u.s. military's involvement in the legal wars highlighting its role in training secret barneys from other countries most of the covert training took place in fort benning georgia at the notorious school of the americas. there's more good. as we gather today the main

gate of fort benning don't know who. owns the port the money this is there a sacred moment is this the moment. cannot go about the business of killing without . changed we cannot come back from vietnam afghanistan and iraq and all those wars and go on without a license before. you know all these suicides stick p.t.s.d. that we reading so much about now. the message is clear we are not made. up it this is our asteroid star. i realize something that are made by the writers and often. plainly understand it all having to go to war now as it were all while we're all. rotten thing is a bit silly other people i know just because i was in order. so.

this will be. five hundred twenty five salvadoran soldiers arrived at fort benning georgia to start training there in combat a small group of us went in to say not in our name. and what we found through the freedom of information act was a school of assassins as we are and it's well known in latin america a school for dictators a school march. washington calls front page long to figure types hit a very big article that the torch and. there were a few news at the school of the americas techniques of torture is says serious. crimes against humanity here. and it was time. to put out the word.

this. who went to latin america simply to request that this stops and in the troops here and i'm happy to report that five countries made decisions to pull out. those countries to be in argentina uruguay and venezuela bolivia he went to ecuador where you met with president rafael correa and at that meeting he announced that ecuador it was calling out of the school of the americas simply said something very important person according to say that it will have made it because he said this school should not exist. less is the east. to solve. this if. you cannot make yourself.

peaceful efforts to disarm the iraqi regime have failed because we are not dealing with peaceful man. intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt. that the iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised. i went downstairs i was leaving the pentagon and an officer from the joint staff called me into his office and said i want you to know he said sure we're going to attack iraq you pull up a piece of paper off his desk i just got this memo from the secretary to fence off that says we're going to attack and destroy their governments and seven countries in five years we're going to start with iraq and then we're going to move to syria lebanon libya somalia sudan and iran. i seventy seven countries in five years i says in a classified memo he said yes sir i said well don't show it to. donald

trump during doubts of a meeting with vladimir putin doesn't seem like a big deal given the already polls state of affairs between the two countries in the manner in which it was cancelled over twitter may sting the kremlin more than the cancellation itself is the mythical trump truth in a bromance finally over. you know world of big partisan new things. and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the bad and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks.

brian lost his legs trying to stop a train from going to central. to finance the same kind of war that we were engaged in an iraq the same kind of war that was being wasted as a nigger i want to be when i was growing up and. as

a young immigrant community and joined the u.s. military in part to pay for a college education through the g.i. bill i wasn't very political i read the new but i didn't really question things i had been in the military almost a year i was about to graduate from college i didn't want to put anything in jeopardy. so i said to myself i'll just go to this war. because maybe we will scare saddam hussein out of power and come back in no time i'll go back to school and everything will be fine. my units first mission was to run the prisoner of war camp in al assad air base and there we used fear tactics that amounted to torture in order to keep prisoners to. be interrogated.

in the city of ramadi it became evident. that our military commanders were not interested in helping to run. they were not interested in the well being of their own soldiers either. we started engaging their persistence in combat. which was basically hit and run operation for them. in order to retaliate since we were dealing with a ghost and we were going after the people her feelings of. the situation was very intense were being hit with mortar rounds improvised explosive devices rocket propelled grenades were. in targets which made it very difficult for anybody to question the morality of the war. so i lost my my moral compass you could say i was still afraid to question i was so afraid to take

a stand. until i went home on a tour with furlough and eventually became clear to me that i could not in good conscience continue to be a part of the war at that point i became the first combat veteran to publicly refuse to go back to war based on morality and based on my own assertion that the war was oil driven. after a five month eery of being on the ground and being a wall and putting together a conscientious objector claim. i decided to surrender to the military. that made my case very political to the military commander. on the military installation. i was very scared of what the military would would do to me if i spoke out against a war and surrender. you may not know or maybe you do know and they still

have the death penalty for the service in a time of war so i was really afraid of buck and i had no idea what would happen. so i made it is that so far as you know it was authorized other national under the treaties which we have. precedents which we are so. so take more if you want to be a practice i didn't find obedience to authority. you she didn't order is illegal intervene in order to commit a crime don't do it. quickly found guilty. assertion. and given up by bad conduct discharge the motion to staff sergeant the private. party chair of my pay and twelve months of incarceration in my military jail. there

i became a prisoner of conscience. for nine months i was released early because of good. and then i became an anti-war activist thank god nobody would stand for the immediate withdrawal of all u.s. troops from iraq when i got out of jail in the first place is that i base it on a foreigner where brian was living not the time from that moment on my association with brian began to open my eyes in ways that i had never imagined possible and i began to meet so many people that helped me understand so many different pieces of the web of. what has been and still is u.s. intervention throughout latin america and the world. there are over one million american military personnel stationed in one hundred seventy five countries the us government has increased its military budget play nearly ninety percent since two

thousand and one budget now stands at seven hundred billion dollars per year. add in health costs plus interest from more than one point five million veterans and the us is paying one trillion dollars per year for war and preparation for. our government spends ten times more for citizens on average for military costs than most other industrialized nations. this increased military spending has not made the us more secure at home or abroad. well you know let's face it the weapons corporations in america always love the new enemy and they always log new instability because they're able to sell no. or weapons that way the pentagon says our role in america under corporate globalization will be security export which means endless war to benefit the corporations so we can extract oil

stracke and minerals from africa or whatever that our jobs and americans are going to be making weapons fighting wars and so increasingly we see communities addicted to military spending cutting the military budget just a tiny little bit corporations are saying don't do that because we're going to lay off hundreds of thousands of people before the next election will punish us if you try to cut the military budget so we're now held hostage people do you think well we have to have a military in the world and say. we're not trying to night there is danger we're also trying to point out that the way we conduct ourselves in the world makes us a lot of enemies and one thing that i think is important about militarism is that it values military power above all else. in april two thousand and ten army private manning sent to wiki leaks the iraq airstrike video collateral

murder which shows a u.s. helicopter gun him down eleven on our journalists and beat. my mom. for leaking classified video in related documents manning was charged with espionage and abetting the end of the sentence was thirty five years in the military prison. where all those state department documents to the wiki leaks website is a traitor who want to have a democracy with even some democratic control and some foreign policy. was legal is an interesting that will always be at risk because there are little always tried to learn from follow. in their example. during sentencing manning apologized to the court. i'm sorry for the unintended consequences of my actions and i made these decisions i believed i was going to

help people not hurt. to make democracy functional early to get the information we need they need whistleblowers who expose the truth that personally british. people who will risk their reelection are using their powers of office their powers in a corporation to effect bullshit. at dawn every sunday since february two thousand and fourteen contemporary military cemetery appears on santa monica beach in california it is an improvised protest to remind people of the costs and consequences. as an instrument of american foreign looms. there's three great there see those three.

over there you can see to hear those just those are images of all they say and do american and iraqi like children it's people that's the first thing they see and i think we touch something is touched. so because nobody is paying or they think that at a. fourth record. and they're not paying with the threat. of being devastated a child taken in there is this is an effort to be any images that would enable people to feel something. about the cost of war. that this. and the sound of the crowd. let's put it to remember when you know that you've seen it in full.

then turn to used to be. the one with least of them. is the. movie oh so that i'm moderately. aware that the answers come. everybody has a greater role to play than the role they're playing right now people who are afraid to write right start out with a two paragraph letter to the editor and you'll see the words will start flowing people who are afraid to speak out start by convincing a friend and then those speaking in a church and then you'll find your voice you can do it with a measure of fear because you can be very frightened but it's equally liberal to want to chill and you've confronted your worst fears and you call the society out and you said i love you enough to risk your route by opposing. and i didn't harm

anyone if we don't willing to go into harm's way and willing to risk being killed for all for our sins surely we can risk some discomfort for a nice. for pete's our lives are dependent on our suffering to others beings who are worth just as much. then the question is how can you justify continuing to live as if other people don't count. this is. no longer of things to them and fed them. the president say this is a close enough. i

want to. tell this thing would be used. by. the.

sound. i'm a little but i think. there's a real body. a. month or i can just let me ask. you know that moved me and i had to yeah. whom he could feel that he had to combat. who made the most of all the malathion enough to come before had a. negative

place called camp sundown to get for people that can't decide and they're like so vampire camp this is like a safe house i guess they don't have to talk about what they go through with us because we understand her daughter katie was diagnosed with a very rare sun sensitive condition if i get sunburned i heal she doesn't feel patients are going to have problems with the walk to talk to your son the brains that are actually shrinking inside the skull gets thicker in the branscombe small. the pain is indescribable it's feels like a really really bad chemical burn but it goes through your skin in your muscles all the way down to the bone and there's no relief. we're just not sure this is going to stop.

until. the. day's news and the week's top stories for bob see the g twenty wraps up in argentina with the potential for the bruising trade war between the u.s. and china plus a look at the much anticipated come sation which we present from clinton on the sidelines. of. the global concern is russia and ukraine a brawl to the brink of a conflict the bushes seized three ship.
