i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter to us of the with one trillion dollars in debt more than ten life collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you loans to the culture rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per circuit first second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one in one business show you can afford to miss the one and only boom bust. so after reading faster life in eighty six and the next garnering. invited us battery on a dime for the twenty fifth anniversary of the founding of the episode.

on october fifth or in the past this plane was shot down in the guard when they were playing dropping. the cork and sure that reagan had finally drained. and there was one crew member the parachute to shake the. usual awesome cross my name to gene arouse interest. in it was sky. shermie after we arrived. the nikken armor your dish or tribunals take i suppose out to the crash site and asked three beds who wanted to go on the helicopter with our supply so they crashed right house and by shock yours 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 ministry he was basically a coal robbery a mercenary he would. hussen forces capture would reveal

a complex web of covert operations run by u.s. 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 so secret but the house i'm going to shoot down. into the open to make a mistake it's really hard to tehran sir no and i'm not taking any more questions there's just a second i'm going to ask each journey general meese to brief you on what we presently know what he has found. what. 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 was a train track and these bunkers that came out and across they all they 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 plotting to start afforded if asked. of our hearts conscience us what we were doing and why i saw us. he's fourteen

years old. and duncan murphy and david duncan. place themselves on the tracks. train. 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 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 to engineer a new dog or something. crazy. the police would probably come and some going 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 not going to be doing any well. then they start walking back and they say. walking back the cranes are loading. it was obviously the main way faster than you'd ever observe the train of that state. turns around. and i saw him. put a few fly out. brian. back and forth and at very low i watched him listening to my screaming they. killed my dad they killed my dad. and i had

medical training and i even had i.v. equipment on my car because i was on ours and that's why. i asked for someone to go get the id card nine one one we had to wait at least seventeen minutes after the first ambulance arrived because they refused to take him to the hospital and they said now is not our jurisdiction and then we have to call another ambulance. on. us is a few of the. good in this room. this is the with. brian's action it really opened a lot of people to. what was going on there and why who should there and

how much he had sacrificed in order to save. the concert naval weapons station remains in the national spotlight as protesters of past and present rallied on behalf of the n.c. conference mcnichol occupy. protesters tore up the section of the same tracks we're working with from over by train. this morning. one to two a. few minutes we're going to go people there with. goods. we will watch it. with you if. this is for me it's a little bit this. is just the beginning i just wanted to get out of the struggle. ryan immediately wanted to get out into the right now to the track. when you 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 for 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 employees sacrifice them to his service to the people of nicaragua he received the nation's highest honor the old school says our son deno. just to see you here because this. was. just.

the train attacks drew attention to the u.s. military's involvement in the illegal 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. for good i think. is. the main gate of fort benning. into. 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 for. this is areso a wide stare right. i realize something that was. made by the writer and often. played on a stand alone at war now 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 learned 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 let it be found through the freedom of information act was a school assassin as we are and it's well known in latin america a school for dictators a school march. washington course front page long to. hit a very big article that the torture and. there were a few news at the school of the americas techniques of torture is says serious. crimes against here. and it was time. to put out the word. who went to latin america simply to request said to stop. and the troops here i'm

happy to report that five countries made decisions to pull out. those countries to be in argentina uruguay venezuela. bolivia we went to ecuador 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 he said something very important president say that it will have made it because he said this school should not exist. less is for the east. so let's face it. you can make 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. by went downstairs hours later 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 it 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 they were going to move to syria lebanon libya somalia sudan and iran. i seventy seven countries i says in a classified memo. sure. survival guide books to.

get the us to seventy. four. what politicians do something illegal. they put themselves on the line and they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. most somewhat want to. have to go right to be for us to supply them before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the lawyers in the house. first signal. you know world of big partisan through things a lot 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 smarter we need to

stop slamming the door on the bats 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 america to finance the same kind of war that we were engaged in in iraq the same kind of war that 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 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 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 sleep deprived. to be interrogated. in the city of ramadi it became evident. that our military commanders were not

interested in helping to run if. they were not interested in the well being of their own soldiers either. we started engaging their resistance in and 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 are feeling. 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 and. 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 i had 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. i'm certain that the war was driven. after a five month eerie it 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 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 in

a time war so i was really afraid of buck and i had no idea what would happen. so i mean it is. so for is you it was all right other international under the treaties which we have some. of the friends of it which we are so we have to take more if you want to be a great society and 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 of. assertion. and given up by bad conduct discharge the motion to stop 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 do we stand for the immediate withdrawal of all u.s. troops from iraq when i got out of. one of the first places that i visited what's california where brian was leaving not the time from that moment on my association with brian began to open my eyes some 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 us 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 plan nearly ninety percent since two thousand and one budget now stands at seven hundred billion dollars per year. 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 persistent on average for military costs than most other industrialized nations. this increased military spending has not made the us more secure out of 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 that our role in america under corporate globalization will be security exploit which means endless war to benefit the corporations so we can extract oil stracke and minerals from africa or whatever that our job in

america is 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 layoff. hundreds of thousands of people before the next election will punish us if you try to cut the military budget so weird al held hostage people do you think what we have to have a military in the world and say hey 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 to iraq air strikes video collateral murder which shows a u.s. helicopter gun him down eleven on our journalists can simply say.

i'm all up. for leaking the classified video in related documents manning was charged with espionage and abetting the enemy the sentence was thirty five years in the military prison. where all those state department documents to the wiki leaks website is a traitor 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 there will always try to deter anyone from following their example. during sentencing manning apologized to the. i'm sorry for the unintended consequences of my actions and i made these decisions i believed i was going to help people not. to make democracy functional really to get the information we need whistleblowers

who expose the truth that i personally wish. people who will risk their reelection using their powers or will for sure their powers are. corporation to pull ship. at dawn every sunday since february two thousand and four contemporary military cemetery appears on santa monica beach in california it is an improvised protest to remind people of the cost and consequences smoke. as an instrument of american foreign blooms. there's three panels right there see those three. over there you can see two here those are just those are images of all days when do yeah american and iraqi children it's for people that's the first thing they see

and i think we touch something has touched that. show because nobody is paying for or they think that they have paid for the record. and they're not paying with the threat of. being devastated was a child taken in syria this is an effort to convey to him and shoots. would enable people to feel something. about the cost of war and kill me i think. and the sound of the crowd. let's put it takes to remember when you know you've seen it people. then it turns out he is drifting to war. and on the plane.

is then than. that of a modern please. read that. and says. everybody has a greater role to play than the old is 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 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 it can be very frightening but it's equally when it's cold and you've confronted your worst fears and you call the shots 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 our then surely we can risk some discomfort for. for pete's our lives are dependent on. suffering other human beings who are worth more. then the question is how can you justify continuing to live as if other people don't know. this is. along to please. them. you can. present the same with this illness are close enough.

in the shadows of our own. in them. to kinda counted on to tell this thing would be easy but then that. but. let's. look. at. me let me let you go where you know you're. going to.

those whom you're most. notable depending. on what you. please the bullies the ways by the way i did my best college was the wife. left. me yes this is. one of those. minutes i know you're even close to. breaking a promise trump wants regime change in venezuela old habits die hard also the trials in tribulations of roger stone will rush again ever.

easy. the soldiers of venezuela. to be on our side. i. never traits that. i the power struggle continues as venezuela's president has truth to stay loyal to countries self-proclaimed leader reveals he's working with sympathetic i haven't seen the military from inside revolt.
