no and i'm not taking any more french insurance just a second i'm going to ask which journey general meese to brief you on what we presently know what he has found in the united states why do. 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. all they were alan and i went out just to check out the situation. and discovered that on one side of the road. were literally hundreds of buggers 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 are a conscience is what we were doing and why my son was there he is fourteen years old. ryan and duncan murphy and david duncan. placed themselves on the tracks. train. here jane i've got a pretty sure thing you know we just go out there and we stand and then train slows down and stops. a couple of people cross the road and went over to the front gate of the you know one of the station in for. we

were done we couldn't block in and there was already a train that we could see you know this combo box cars were going to show they had . to be sure that the engineer knew there was a dog or something on the tracks or gets out. to the police would probably come and some point to remove them before they could move the train. we deliver the letter to the person at the base. that person or someone else 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 cranes are global. it was obviously the main way faster than it ever observe a train station. i

turned around. and i saw him play. a few fly out. brian 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 even had i.v. equipment in my car because i was on ours and midwives and my 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 because baby used to take him to the hospital and they said now is not our jurisdiction and then we have a problem the other ambulance.

there's a. lot of. good in this room before you go to the. body. of the with the two of them when you got. ryan's action it really opened up a lot of people to. what was going on there and why you should there and how much he had sacrifice in order to save others. because naval weapons station remained in the national spotlight as protesters of past and present rally going to have a big conference at the nickel occupy. protesters toward this section of the same practice we're working with from over by train.

this morning. one to two a. few minutes we're going to go before they're with. goofy we'll watch it. with you if you really. for me it's a little bit. if they're just beginning 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 orders and vietnam to bomb diligence. in one nine hundred eighty eight or two. because government recognized brian

sacrifice and his service to the people of nicaragua he received the nation's highest honor the old goose still says our son deno. just to see. this. this wasn't. just. a train attack drew attention to the u.s. military's involvement in the legal wars 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 for 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 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. on it and this is our asteroid star. i realize nothing back. they write it off. or play on it. or

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 don't. 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 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 course front page long to figure. it a very big article that. there were

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 these stops and in the troops here and i'm happy to report that five countries major cities 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 announced that ecuador it was going on at the school of the americas simply said something very important as an accordion how to say that an acquittal had made a cause. he said this school should not exist. less on

the east. so let's face it. you can name your city. 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 iraqi regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised. i went downstairs i was leaving the pentagon and 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 so i just got this memo from the secretary to fence off that says we're going to attack and destroy the governments and seven countries in five years we're going to start with iraq and then we're going to move to syria

lebannon 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. every major bank in the world if they were accounted for in a generally accepted accounting principles cording 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 eggs ok the fraud runs the american economy without banking fraud there would be no g.d.p. whatsoever. they're

spread for a single purpose. they have a supermoon. they start training very young. they months of intensive schooling. rats. and they save lives. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. is over twenty trillion dollars in debt more than ten thousand dollars fine tempi each dish. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent minus minus two years some with four hundred to five hundred trees per second per second and bitcoin 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 does not show you can afford to miss the one and only boom but. it was you know provision on my back when i wanted to return those. oh. you're so your height oh i lost his bus because i just got then you just got to go with us as you know just about any of those it doesn't but that's honest i don't know if it is bailey a. so i says you know but i was you know. you know just i mean what i almost bought it i'm already but it was sped up out of me just got to go it immediately i mean it was a lot. of it up as well i must admit i really feel that you will get us out of getting noticed but those were the old beatles songs those people are going to respect one of this but it was just this weather was one of these i will ask him i

will write about him with us if you could a car bomb i just got that already yes equestrian in the thought of getting up there calling us implementing my thought aloud but let me just gotta go you. 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 in iraq the same kind of war that was being wasted games in the ground won't be home when i was growing up and. as a young immigrant community and joining the u.s. military in part to pay for a college education through the g.i. bill i was a very political i read the news 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 in this war. because maybe we will just scare saddam hussein out of power and come back in no time i'll go back to school and everything will be fine. thank you. its 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 they 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 you were dealing with a ghost enemy we're going after the people who are 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 lot 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 area of being on the ground and being a wall and putting together a conscientious objector claim. i decided to surrender to the military. i 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 servers and the time war so i was really afraid of what could i had no idea what would happen.

if i. thought it is. as firm as you it was all the. other. under the treaties which we have some. of the friends that which we are so we have to take more if you want to be a practice i didn't 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. assertion. and given a bad conduct discharge the motion to staff sergeant a private. teacher of my pay and twelve months of incarceration in a military jail. there i became a prisoner of conscience after nine months i was released early because of good. and then i became an anti-war activist thank you

a duty we stand for the immediate withdrawal of all us troops from iraq when i got out of jail one of the first places that i visited was founded for nam 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. u.s. intervention throughout latin america. 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. budgets 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 percent or some on average for military costs 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 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 export which means endless war to benefit the corporations so we can extract oil. minerals from africa or whatever our job in america is going to be making weapons fighting wars and increasingly in receipt communities of the 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 thousands of people before the next election will punish you if you try to cut the military budget so we're held hostage. and say hey we're not trying to. play now. 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 can soon be. my model. 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. whoever leaked 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 after 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 personal risk. people who will risk their reelection are using their powers of office or their powers in

a corporation to effect bullshit. at dawn every sunday since february two thousand and four contemporary military cemetery appears on santa monica beach in calif. it is an improvised protest to remind people of the cost and consequences smoke. as an instrument of american foreign loops. there's three panels right there. over there you can see two here those are just two certain images of all basic one to american and iraqi children to people that's the first thing they see and i think you touch something it starts. a year or so because nobody gets

paid for or they think that they. have paid for the record. and they're not paying with the threat of. being devastated child taken in syria this is an effort to be yemen to the poor the neighbor people to feel something. about the cost of war to kill me. and the sound of the crowd. to put it takes to remember when you know you've seen it before. and it countries did. it on the. news and then. that on modern please. read it.

and says. everybody has a greater role to play 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. and then 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 confront your worst fears and call the shots and you said i love you enough to risk your wrath by opposing. and i didn't harm anyone. willing to go into harm's way and willing to risk being killed. are then surely we can risk some discomfort for.

for pete's. suffering beings who are worth more. then the question is how can you justify continuing to live. people don't. please. present the same. clothes in. the shed i won't. tell this.

and the police stations are always telling us oh we can't have everything at the same time we can't have peace and democracy blah blah blah in a cost conflict situation i know war situation that's not true is that instead of

telling people what you can't have everything and then failing to deliver on that everything we should be fabric here and say ok you can have cheese 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. when they came back from a. hoe marijuana her was cocaine methamphetamine anything that's altering trying to get us out of. that bad. use of the chemical there would be so mother. i want to be drinking and drinking. just killing myself but drink alcoholic. drink to get drunk alcoholics drink to

feel normal. that's why it's this way drug addicts do what they do shop was still for near. star cool under which these guys are going through to get it just means to. need to be helped and they pushed on him by the v.a.'s are as drugs go and stuff they need to be built. they just really shouldn't be looked at like numbers they should be looked at like people if they go to a veteran center for health should be considered as someone who really needs attention. as a spy you have to really split your own personality into two you there is a committed to harvest that was still alive within me and then there is the person who wanted to counter everything they want to do and then trying to dismantle everything they were doing so you have to really become a good doctor in order to fulfill them you have to form your own family in order to

pull them. loose. to be. there. i. can advance twenty eighth wave across france for nine consecutive weeks.
