i think i got to hit the road and get out the traveling across america to find what makes america take the charlatans the geniuses this is the quintessential american hero this is it we've come a point from which alan would have done something we always are on the margins something was called the culture is moving forty. odd. we're starting last with is going to headed east into the swamp we're going into the belly of the beast i think i want to leave now governor anymore gondo let me may be completely different but the end of this journey. when i was so small seemed wrong when old roles just don't call. me lol but you forget to say proud disdain to come to agitate and in games from an equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look

for common ground. hold. on one both yeah. our next team. letter arrives to the. guys i know welcome to tells me i'm done. josh josh. bello. my partner jeremiah are you take. you know this is going to be that will be easy or was it really a leap year america interval c. national civilian community course they are young men and women between the ages of eighteen and twenty four they receive four dollars and fifty cents

a day in stipend for food four dollars for incidentals so they make right at eight fifty a day and they work for eleven months at that rate when they're completed with their whole eleven months they receive a scholarship for college worth about five thousand dollars and i thought that's it and they travel around the nation they volunteer with different organizations and do whatever is needed no it's. traumatic brain injury yes yes and that is mainly veterans have t.b.i. and those that do not want to be i often have p.t.s. post-traumatic stress disorder which will be kind of going into that so i don't know how much guys know about that and if you're nervous about working with veterans you life you see all those terrible things on the news here like they're

all psycho girlfriend going to really good place name. it. used to be a vet big man at the end of. the days and he. put his. things right there and the words that they are speaking to you are. might be harsh my scene meant. my. legs that we were to go in and there. is not that we are trying to do that to our loved ones who are children to our family members or to you all we might not even realize there is something that is going on with. this causing our. society. ok. both hands up i don't know the end of it

yet. i understand that you're having a bad day at this moment. it's ok. i'm not the one that's the enemy. knowingly that's going to click. works on her. when she does it. and that's where we came up with the problem. is because she would come at me like i was the enemy and i did i had done something wrong to her and. pretty much no. and so and it's worked on big phil it's worked on him it's work oh yeah let's work on all of us utilize it if need be just a simple matter. and then. you

are with i mean. if you don't you know you. if you don't want it to work for you to work with a million different excuse why. you're right it will work that with with you know groups like the v.a. or like these veterans who. here that was one of our first successes we got a young guy down here that chief wave or the just retired chief of police found them sitting in a car with a heroin needle stuck in his arm and instead of put in jail he brought us down that he was better then he went through treatment and now he's working with us and he's down there every day just to that he got married and and he's looking pretty good. through southern afghanistan history you know i was in the. voice on this recording going i don't know causing grief. that's like must exist documentary if you

go anywhere. some of us don't know whether we can say where we were or weren't. and so it's easier for us to say we were in a conflict zone. but. so some people that allowed to say where they actually were being go. for seventy two years we're not allowed to say where we actually were you kidding me see how serious we signed a piece of paper same for seven in two years we'll keep state secrets after seventy two years we can talk about. me. but. you know we will see. this dive like this military doctrine that really started in the mid ninety's and kind of

became a thing in the early two thousand she's full spectrum dominance control of space. cyber security land sea air. and united states in general the united states in general and women in the country does that right one person number one country wants to dominate creates a lot of tension because it is not that everyone else in the bowl has the same i just did and you have the same idea so he dies against it and then and it and that creates wars it is right so right people like you who are on the other people who go will. go there and they suffer and other people saw her as well yeah well i mean the people on the other side of you know our foreign policy are definitely you suffering proportionally more than americans. i mean we have p.t.s.d. and sex our daily lives because of

a trigger or whatnot but. they are still living in fear every single day you know and places like iraq syria afghanistan pakistan. well i'm not saying they're all never be in conflict i'm not saying there should be no military i just think that military a military should be used for the sense of the population that volunteers to join it and pays the taxes that pay for them. you know i think the average taxpayer would not. like knowing that their tax dollars you know like how many to one probably like. a thousand to one for all i know you know all of their tax dollars or how would you save

a tax revenue is going to this system that. has no respect for human dignity. you know for every light thousand dollars that spent on defense spending. there may only be one you know. for a forum in which or food stamps or education or whatever as a nation i feel that our priorities are completely misguided misguided that they've been hijacked and too many people are deluding themselves that we are protecting human rights or whatever we we don't have the moral high ground. and that's not to say that some of these people that are supposedly enemy.

aren't terrible themselves but they're you do is completely unquenchable. but it doesn't make us any better if we also have no respect for human take. on the twenty second of every month. my bro's go out of my to my bro's that i was overseas with we call each other we text each other we facebook each other make sure that we're still we're still good because. twenty two vets a day. snark who'll. i do what these guys are going through to end it just needs to. they just need to be helped and not get pushed on him by the v.a. it's ours drugs go and stuff we need to be helped i was able to start to resolve my issues and still i got all the crap the v.a. was giving yeah i was on over forty medications three times

a day and i was chemically bottom honest so i couldn't i couldn't get off the street drugs or anything else until i got off all the crowd was give me. that's what i'm going to be a counselor for because they were to take the drugs just not. i don't believe in their philosophies of pharmaceuticals every shit got here all. because pharmaceuticals i did my last two years of my life. so yeah so. if you are right. they pollute your mind and they just try to get you basically they want to be complacent. because they don't be up enough to where you just don't have the mind to plane or to think for yourself. and then just fall in line when she. you know finally i've had a moment of clarity and i. where do things go. that it takes

a trilogy it takes. the veterans health care ministration their vocational rehabilitation portion of it their education their mental health departments along with nonprofits within the communities and in the civilian population. we have found that it's very helpful to put the veterans working with civilians in simple projects like constructing fences building. renovation these type of things that you get to civilians work along with the veterans that ship builds between them and then it's easier for the better to reintegrate because they feel that is their battle buddy on their right and their battle buddy on the left in the civilian world and in the military and that is what we really became to

depend on is always having somebody right there beside us that we don't have to worry about them. because that's their job and in the civilian world having that person be in right behind you uncover a new. is very beneficial and that reintegration process. really shouldn't be looked at like numbers they should be looked at like people like like everyone should be looked at like people. if they go to a veteran center for help they should be considered as someone who really needs attention. if you look at them like they're just like beings that need to be helped out and sent out back into the world. i don't that's not really it's like you're just looking at them as sort of an obstacle to. just clear out and be done with and i don't think that's overall helpful to their recovery. it's already bad enough

that in in our society people. are seeing them as just kind of. obstacles in some senses things that are harder to interact with or socialize with or people that people feel uncomfortable around but it's even worse that when they actually go to seek help and take the initiative that they're still seen as something that is kind of an obstacle in that sense something that needs to be dealt with and then sent off. it was you know provision on my back when i wanted it. because. we. had anybody. but the pressure on us that has been. showing us is you know you're not.

you're not just i mean most. i mean. if it up as well i might be i mean really feels i just don't get off on getting letters but those were the. people are going to respond on one of this part of. this where this part of. my family fussy kind of on my just but that already yes it will be in the thought of getting up there with you. join me every thursday on the elec simon chill and i'll be speaking to us in the world of politics school business i'm show business i'll see you then.

you know world of big. law and conspiracy it's time. to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. 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. i mean. v.a. has made some mistakes even overdosed there's not the v.a.'s fault it's the doctors that are doing it they're the ones that need to be educated anyway to understand that there is other ways to end up to take care of yourself without having to take

drugs that some of it's not even necessary to take and that's what's really weird into my book. says i get negative thoughts why. i want to be alone i think about something that is. just minutes to get with yourself doing it getting outdoors seeing your country like you know like in the woods anything fishing you know a river creek you just just get away all that works there is ways to you know your issues. to be in a depression. using drugs are a little like the idea of using drugs at all. it's just it's really it's not needed

there's too much. beauty beauty to be involved with the thought having to use drugs and all the all it's going to do is it is take it to another level lower it doesn't it doesn't bring you out of it and i say that mother nature dean outdoors is one of the best things anybody could do. to. me urban and rural areas where there's a so. ratio between if you're really cool yes you know i don't know if that has something to do with it if i was selling better and if there were messed up and have here having his shoes made it i don't know if they want to hold. this through another day i see a tree. and you'll find it life can be so simple so he so laid

back so comfortable. just in a wheelchair three years ago. he was in a wheelchair three years ago he really you know. never got out of the house didn't come out look at him now can't tell that. song about twenty years he hid i was in and out of a chair for twenty years and. and that had a lot to do with not getting enough physical therapy through the v.a. and my drug addictions and it wasn't till i was able to get me right before my mind right before i could start working on other things and i i could have been years earlier if i would have had the support from the v.a. . yeah i thought i had the support from the v.a.

a lot of things earlier on i had to take the road i did but don't get me wrong i'd never i wouldn't change a thing because everything that's happened to me so far in life has got me here and i'm pretty happy here this place it helps me immensely it helps me get around other people it helps me to get away from that isolation mode that i frequently fall into and so yeah been around here been around young you need you know the younger guys but the american or yeah it just gives you a little spark to life makes you feel like he had a reason and one of those things when you're well intentioned. you join the military be. because you want to do good. and your group your group of whom you during the new group who are for yourself for humanity you know for the american people for god and country whatever but. then you're aware of that are tensions you you want to be having

a positive effect in the world so it's that cognitive dissonance day. ok yes you know they're dropping bombs but it's for the greater good it kind of put yourself in a state of denial to a certain extent. but. once you're out and you start reflecting on it just being questioned it seems to yourself what was the purpose of this you may be. for me i became more interested in. geo political situation and informing myself more and like i said you kind of. put it all together over time. and that's when i don't know it really sinks in at least it did for me and i don't remember my second deployment in afghanistan and i would say well i remember the definitive. piece of the puzzle that i put together when i really

realized later. i was in an active part in this whole thing. imperialist corporatist oligarchic system that doesn't give a shit about the people there is that the humanity is gone it's all about the profit motive that's what mario was the war is a business. why do we go to war to protect american interests sometimes they say you know well what are american interests. things we want. to. and we feel for whatever reason and i'm struck. by saying we don't mean all americans and that that is her intention but the way a manifest sell to mentally is that. you know they have oil we want it we deserve it it is our right to take it. because the people who make the decisions to go to

war and profit off of it. aren't the ones affected by it it's not. they're not cut it it goes off to war it's not their house it's. destroyed it's not. their mother or father or aunt or uncle or grandparents or child that was killed by a drone notes. so they were connected to grown yes. to the son by declaiming and that. just seems that people don't understand this but a lot of us ball and cheered to be in the service because we wanted to serve the country as vets in that way just wanted to be able to serve our nation

so after we get out and there were able to do things that benefit the community we're still accomplishing the mission that we signed up to be in the military for to sir so i really think that these bets that you bet you see that there is a lot of correlation of them giving back the i'm giving back to them giving back and by them giving back it's empowering them and that's part of the healing process must be in. and it's teaching a child how to do it properly if it's teaching them better and how to work on their card and get it back into running if you. teach them how to her own things and farm they're teaching them they are a bit empowered. they give him back they pass that knowledge on to somebody else so i get to go when i see him do it.

so often times people believe that only soldiers have p.t.s. or have triggers or you know things that they're having to deal with but that's so not sure and it is everybody actually every no one can survive life without experiencing some form of trauma and nothing will be different for everybody one of our american team in this last in the last. thirty one of the visitors who are working with the veterans has helped me understand my own father's mental health setting foot on a battlefield isn't the only event that qualifies someone for t.b.i. and p.t.s. . he saw a striking similarities in the way he combat vets act although he never saw combat during his term in the navy. see that's another thing i never saw on that i mean i was in a combat area there was mortars that sort of thing but i never had to fire the gun

at anyone you know what it's still a man and you know and he happened to be in the military and you were in the same immediately everyone. in some way it's just. in the military and it's so much of it all at once you know it's made and then and then you get thrown back into regular society and you don't really know how to function in a war sadly there will always be wars there will always be veterans and we live in a very flawed world and. i don't see war star. stopping anytime soon which i wish i would but. you have to live in reality so if we don't like what is happening then let us be a part of what. makes a positive change. we couldn't

agree how can we. dare see her bring a lie. i was worse little but there. was one. as a spy you'll have to really split your own personality into to you that is the committed jihad this that was still alive within me and then that is the one who wanted to

counter everything they want to do and then try and dismantle everything they were doing so you have to really become a good doc and noted the tools. you have to follow your own poverty in order to hold the. officer. told to get up off the ground or begin to pay him down. hurt them freeze on the sounds of. grown man the christening essentially. through his. usual wish to do away from the officers. of his group. the obvious or did they kind of lunge for the web in one's midst and then when it happened on she swung and didn't hit him i never saw any contact with. any kind of went back to where they were so the officers back here there try again fifteen feet apart at this point and

that's when the officer is gonna need to turn tree. six tries is financial survival guide. when customers go by you reduce the price. to now well reduce and lower. that's undercutting not what's good for the market it's not good for the global economy. like there's someone else living inside of me or controlling my body. the byproduct of that drug is the cause like some peer pressure. because it will only need one to zombie it's crazy. you know we don't have to do anything it's not our fault the oceans play z. and all that. the fears of traumatic

things long time to get rid of. what. little. money. i don't know that only going to. be with. this hour's top headlines on oxy with us media policy pressure on going old trump alleging he suppressed the details of his talks with a lot of made and then publishing a complete guide to impeach. the u.s.
