there's a train track from these bunkers that came out and crossed the highway. and then went out to the piers where these balls were loaded on to the ships. we had a press conference in which turns or planning to start a forty day fast. of our hearts conscience and what we were doing and why my son was there he is fourteen years old. and murphy and david duncan. placed themselves on the tracks. grain. chain not a pretty sure thing you know we just go out there and we stand and then the train slows down and stops. a couple of people

cross the road and went over to the front gate of the watson station inform them that we were done we can walk in and there was already a train that we could see you know this couple box cars with munitions they had to . run to be sure that the engineer knew there was a dog or something on the rocks or a good friend. to the police would go out with comet some point to remove them before they could move the train. we deliver the letter to the person at the base. and 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 going to be doing anyway. and then they started walking back and there's they. walking back the train started. the train was. obviously i mean way faster than we'd ever observe

a train at that stage. if i turned around. ran over crying and i saw him play. fly out. ryan's body back and forth over that frame i watched listening to my father screaming they killed my dad they killed my dad. i had medical training i even had i.v. equipment in my car because i was on ours and that's why. i asked for someone to go get the idea that called nine one one we had to wait at least seventeen minutes after the first ambulance arrived he says baby used to take him to the hospital and they said no he's not our jurisdiction and then we have to call another ambulance.

on. this is a school. in the school before you. with be able to unload the money go to. ryan's action it really opened up a lot of people to. know what was going on there and why you should there and how much he had shuttle flights in order to say i'll. be able to station remains in the national spotlight as protesters of past and present rallies on behalf of the n.d.p. come from limited mclaughlin. protesters told destruction of the same threat.

by trade. i visited this morning. one to two a. few minutes we're going to be there with. good luck we will watch it. with you if. for me it's a little that. big and i just wanted to get out of this. ryan immediately wanted to get out into the right back to the track see in the surgeon that's in his heart immediately his compassion for the spotters on the train and doctors of the train he got it right away or other people even expressed anything like that no doubt they were given an order just like they were given vietnam to bomb diligence.

in one nine hundred eighty eight or take those government recognized boy and sacrifice them to his service to the people of nicaragua to receive the nation's highest honor feel good says our son. so. just to see you. this was. just. the train attack drew attention to the u.s. military's involvement in the illegal. warriors highlighting its role in training

secret armies 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. 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 with our lives as before. you know all these suicides the p.t.s.d. that we reading so much about now. the message is clear we are not made. and this is our s.-o.

it was started right. i realized something that was that made by the writer and all of you. play the understand that i had to go to war in iraq as it were all while we're all. right there is a bit silly other people i know just because i was ordered to do it so i did learn to be disobedient. 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 see not in our name. and what we found through the freedom of information act was a school in the sas sweetheart it's well known in latin america a school for dictators a school march. and close friends.

page long to times. very big article at the heart. now where a few news at the school of the americas techniques of torture is society says serious. crimes against here. and it was time to put out the word. this. who went to latin america simply to request that the stops and the troops here and i'm happy to report that five countries may just say should just pull out. those countries to be in argentina uruguay and venice away a lot. he went to ecuador where you met with president rafael correa and at that meeting he had not just that ecuador it was going out of the school with the

america is it something very important president say that it will have made it because he said this school should not exist. less is for the east. to solve. this if. you can make your sick. 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 hours later the pentagon and the joint staff called me into his office and said our i want you to know he said sure we're going to attack iraq you pull up a piece of paper off his desk so i just got this memo from the sector defense's office 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 they were going to move to syria lebannon libya somalia sudan and iran. i seventy seven countries in five years i says in a classified memo. yes sir i said well don't short term. every major bank in the world if they were accounted for in a generally accepted accounting principles according to the rule of law they would have all been closed down many years ago but it's like the old woody allen joke he goes the doctor says doctor my brother thinks he's a chicken and the doctor says here given these pills he says your understand doctor we need the x. fraud broad theme american economy without banking fraud there would be no g.d.p. whatsoever.

with no make this manufacture consent to instant of public wealth. when the ruling closest protect themselves. with the crime of clearing your own lives and be the one person. doing the middle of the room sick. for the real need for. their brains for a single purpose. of a supermoon. training very young. the months of intensive school. rats. and they save lives.

when they came back from iraq now. oh marijuana her was cocaine methamphetamine so anything that's altering trying to get us out. that bad mindset using the chemical there would be so. i want to be drinking and drinking ino new nope just killing myself. out of whole aches don't drink to get drunk alcoholics drink to feel normal. that's why i'll call it this way drug addicts to. shop while still for the next. star cool to reduce guys are going through to it it just means to a. need to be built and pushed on by the v.a. is ours drugs for those they need to be built. they've really shouldn't be looked

at like numbers they should be looked at like people if they go to a veteran center for health issues be considered as someone who really needs attention and. brian lost his legs trying to stop a train from going to central america to finance the same kind of war that we were engaged in an iraq the same kind of boy was being way siggins a nigger i want to be home when i was growing up in it. as a young immigrant community and joining the us military in part to pay for a college education through the g.i. bill. was a very political i read the new 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

test scare saddam hussein out of power and come back in no time i'll go back to. all. everything is fine. my units first mission was to run a 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 people. 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 were killing. the situation was very intense we were being hit with mortar rounds improvised explosive devices rocket propelled grenades were moving 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 too afraid to question i was too afraid to take a stand. until i went home and i to with for a long 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 five months here you know 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. on the military and. 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 that they still have the death penalty for the service and the time war so i was really afraid of what could i had no idea what would happen. so i mean it is. as far as you it was all the. other international

under the treaty which we have some. of the friends of it which we are so we have to take for if you want to be a direction shy to find obedience to authority. you she didn't order it illegal intervene in order to commit a crime don't do it. quickly found guilty of. assertion. and given up by bad conduct discharge the motion to stop sergeant the private. sector of my pay and twelve months of incarceration in a 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 and thank a duty we 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've decided

what's about it for now where brian was noting that the time from that moment on my association with brian began to open my eyes in ways that i had never imagined possible i began. to meet so many people that helped me understand so many different pieces of the web of. what has been a 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 nearly ninety percent since two thousand and one budget now stands at seven hundred billion dollars per year. health costs plus interest from more than one point five million veterans and the us is paying one trillion dollars per year. and the preparation of. our government spends ten times more persistent on average for military costs and

most other industrialized nations. this increased military spending has not made the us more secure 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 more weapons that way the pentagon says our role in america under corporate globalization will be security exploit which means endless war to benefit the corporations so we can extract oil. and minerals from africa or whatever that our job in america is going to be making weapons fighting wars and increasingly received 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 held hostage. safe place for not trying to into 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 being down eleven on armed journalists comes to the. final moments. for leaking the classified video in related documents manning was charged with espionage and abetting the enemy the symptoms it 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 influence on foreign policy. was labeled as an interest and that will always be at risk because the government will always try to deter anyone from following 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 really to get the information we need we need whistleblowers who expose the truth that i personally wish. people who will risk their reelection. using their powers or vote for their powers in a corporation to effect bullshit.

at dawn every sunday since. two thousand and four temporary military cemetery appears on santa monica beach in california it is an improvised protest to remind people of the cost and consequences. as an instrument of american foreign. there's three families right there see those three. over there you can see to here those are just those are images of all basic wound to american and iraqi children it's a people that's the first thing they see and i think you touch something has touched . your eye so because nobody is paying for it they think that they have paid for the wreck. and they're not paying with the threat of. being

devastated my child been taken in there this is an effort to be him and shoots. would enable people to feel something. about the cost of war to kill me but just. then the sound of the crowd. let's put it takes to remember when you know you've seen it before. and it turns to used it. on the. news and been. put on modern please. read it and it says. everybody has

a greater role to play this role is playing right now people who are afraid to write great start out with a two paragraph letter to the editor. and you'll see the words will start flowing people who are prayed to speak gallic 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 when it's cold and you've confronted your worst fears and you call the society out and you said i love you enough to risk your wrath by opposing. and i didn't harm any and if we will be willing to go into harm's way and willing to risk being killed or are then surely we can risk some discomfort or. for pete's. or depending on our suffering other

teams who are worth working. then the question is how can you justify continuing to live other people don't know. this. long to please. the president say. that are close enough. in the shadows of i want to. tell this thing work.

nobody could see coming that false confessions would be that prevalent in this population of all the converts if you look at any interrogation out there what you'll see is threat promise threat promise threat lie a lie a lie the process of interrogation is designed to put people in just that frame of mind make the most comfortable make them want to get out and don't take no for an

answer don't accept their denials she said therefore would. say on a statement that i would be home by that time the next day there's a culture on accountability and police officers know that they can engage in misconduct that has nothing to do with solving their crime. you know world of big partisan lot and conspiracies 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 smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the fast 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. politicians do

something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. when you want to be president and she. want. you to want to be close but she wasn't before you the more people. on the interstate all the warnings out. there should be. the. police stations are always telling us oh we can't have everything at the same time we can have peace and democracy blah blah blah. situation during a war situation that's not true is that instead of telling people what you can't have everything and then failing to deliver on everything you all should be ferric here and say ok you can have peace like some kind of peace you can have some kind of democracy you can have some kind of justice in the short term but unfortunately

we cannot feel everything at the same time so someone has to make a choice. you know going to. get. your for your height or lost his boss because you got the. resources you know. i mean people. are just really a. choice as you know where was your mother. you know. what it i'm already what it was but. the i remember.

this one up as well i must say you're. getting worse but those were the old. one of the. just this one. part of this i'm with. my father in with us if you could a car bomb i just got that already yes equestrian in the thought of you think of it but i think with you you seem to me and think it is my thought aloud but let me just quote to you. i. think yellow vests right.
