many of the interests. managed wisconsin cure me after we arrived in. the nick unarmored your dish or try going to take house of us out to the crash site and ask us about it we wanted to go on in our copy without going to the crash i wasn't a shock to us about all the flights you've been on all these covert white army corps and you encourage angry because he had been abandoned by the reagan administration he was a base because career mission he was 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 ron paul secret but the house and the shoot down blew it out into the open to make

a mistake it's really hard to tehran sir no and i'm not taking any questions they just a second i'm going to ask each journey general meese to brief you on what we presently know what he has found in the united states what. some of. the revelations of the iran contra affair gave new momentum to the work of the peace activists some. evidence showed that the weapons were coming from the largest pentagon arms depot on the west coast california as 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. from these bunkers that came out and crossed the highway

and then went out to the piers where these small meals were loaded onto 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. place themselves on the tracks. on a great. 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 no watson station inform them

that we were done we couldn't block in and there was already a train that we could see you know this couple boxcars with munitions they had to. run to be sure to engineer knew there was a dog or something or a good friend. to the police would go out with comments i'm going to remove them before they can move the train. we deliver the letter to the person at the base. and 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 started walking back and there's they. walking back the train started. the train was obviously i mean. way faster than we've ever observed

a train to that stage. if i turned around. ran over brian and i saw him play foot. fly out. ryan's body back and forth over that frame i watched listening to my father and screaming they killed my dad they killed my dad. i had medical training 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 idea that called 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 no he's not our jurisdiction and then we have to call another

ambulance. on. this is this your. in this room before you. would be able to unload them would you go. right into action to really open up a lot of people to. know what was going on there and why you should there and how much he had sacrificed in order to save. mabel station remained in the national spotlight as protesters of past and present rallies on behalf of the n.c.p. come from a limited nicolaas with. protesters told destruction of the same facts will come from the. by trade. i visited this morning

i wanted to get. your feelings for him because i will be there with. good luck we will watch it. with you if. this is for me to let us know that. they're big and just wanted to get out of this. ryan immediately wanted to get out into the right back to the tracks. 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 take those government recognized apply and sacrifice them to his service to the people of nicaragua he received the nation's highest honor the old says our son you know. i want to. just see you cause. this was. just. the train attack drew attention to the u.s. military's involvement in the legal wars high. citing 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 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 stick p.t.s.d. that we reading so much about now. the message is clear we are not made. on it this is areso it was started right. i realized something that was

that made by the writer and all of you. play the understand it all have your own war and ours are all on 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 schooner assassin's sweetheart it's well known in latin america a school for dictators a school march. and pulled its front page long to. had

a very big article that the hardship. that were a few news at the school of the americas techniques of torture is society says serious. crimes against humanity here. and it was time. to put out the word. nothing who went to latin america simply to request that the stops and the troops here and i'm happy to report that five countries made decisions to pull out. those countries to be in argentina uruguay venezuela. bolivia he went to ecuador where you met with president rafael correa and at that meeting he announced that ecuador it was going out of the school of the americas simply said something

very important president cordy out 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 can't 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. yes sir i said well don't show it to me. you know world a big part of a lot of 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 smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back 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.

as you read the stand and hear from us and. move on what has. been good but i don't run the show but then there are rather democrats i thought the four thought that a kid. and that compatibility question then you. can pick and. i don't think is a channel for tough call that it yeah i think the. bottom line. on the show little. get its whole full place choice i knew they had

a i think tongue in syria said. pretty she ought to give a. mile farther than after the whole fuckin. if that for a dream and then boy i hope. seemed wrong. but. just don't hold. any belief to shape out this day become educated and engage with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. st.

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 against a nigger i want to be when i was growing up and. as a young immigrant camille mae she had joined the u.s. military in part to pay for a college education through the g.i. bill. was a 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 just 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 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 the iraqi people. 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 up or. ration 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 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 still afraid to question i was too afraid to take a stand. until i went home i had to wait 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 the area 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. 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 they still have the death penalty for the searchers in a time of war so i was really afraid of buck and i had no idea what would happen. so i mean it is. true as you know it was all arise other national under the tree. which we have. the credit which we. have to. take more if you want to be a serious crack society and find obedience to authority. she didn't order is

illegal intervene in order to commit a crime don't do it. quickly found guilt the. assertion. and given up by bad conduct discharge the motion to staff sergeant the private. sector of my pay and twelve months of incarceration in my 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 living at the time from that moment on my association with brian and 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 us intervention throughout latin america and the world. there are over one million american military personnel stationed in one hundred seventy five countries the u.s. 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. add in health costs plus interest for more than one point five million veterans and the us is paying one trillion dollars per year for war and preparation. our government spends ten times more for citizen on average for military costs than most other industrialized nation. this increased military spending has not made the u.s. 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. 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 you if you try to cut the military budget so we're now held hostage. in the world and say. we're not trying to. point out the

way we conduct ourselves in the world makes us a lot of enemies and one thing that i think is important. two thousand and ten army private manning sent to wiki leaks to iraq airstrike video collateral murder which shows a u.s. helicopter gun down eleven on our journalists and the. leaking classified video and related documents manning was charged with espionage and abetting. it was thirty five p. . years in the military person. whoever leaked all those state department documents to the wiki leaks website is a traitor if you want to have a democracy with even some democratic front some 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 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 or 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 are three. over there you can see two here those are just those are images of all the ways it won't do american and iraqi children it's a people that's the first thing they see and i think. something is touched. that you know so because nobody is paying for it they think that they. are wrecked. and they're not going with the threat of. the deficit. it was a child taken in. this is an effort to meet him into the world i'm able to feel something. about the monster born to kill me i've been.

out. there. and the sound of the crowd. let's put it to remember. when you know you've seen it people who. then it turns to use drill. down on the least of them and use them to. do both it and modern. read it and it ensures the. 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 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 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 route by opposing your point. 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 a nice. for pete's our lives are dependent on our suffering other human beings who are worth. then the question is how can you justify continuing to live.

people don't count. on the things. the president say this does are close enough. in the shadows of our own.

i've been saying the numbers mean something a matter of us is over twenty trillion dollars and. more than ten white collar crimes happen each dish. eighty five percent of global wealth you loan to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per 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 number you need

to remember is one in one business shows you can afford to miss the one and only buddha. mean i mean i didn't know where you are you. thought as he looks on others he. doesn't want to know most of us will be in yours and yours was notable just made a good money but really you know. please don't please the ways now that i did my best judgment as the wife. left you set me up this is. not one of those little. chillies school get minutes maybe a year even close.

when i was so small seemed wrong but i'll roll just don't call. me old but yet to stamp out disdain become agitated and endangerment because of the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart. chance to look for common ground. the u.s. intensifies its efforts to oust venezuela's president maduro imposing crippling sanctions on the state all giant and handing control of some prime manchu assets to the leader of the opposition. will continue to use all of our diplomatic and economic tools to support the interim president has. been assigned.
