group. invited us factory for the twenty fifth anniversary of the founding of the episode. on october fifth or in the past this plane were shot down in a car with a poor play dropping. corporate terrorists that reagan had privately. and there was one crew member the parachuted to shake the. usual price many of them for its. men at risk and some cure me after we arrived. the nikken are when you're sure tribunals take cost of course out of the crash site and asked us to events we want to go on a helicopter with our supplies to the crash site house and flush walk to us about all the points you've been on all these covert flights of army corp and he would course angry because he had been abandoned by the reagan administration he was

basically a covert operator mercenary 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 wrong it's all secret but the house in question 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 more questions and it's just a second i'm going to ask a journey general meese to brief you on what we presently know what he has found in the united states why didn't somebody didn't tell us why. the revelations of the iran contra affair gave new momentum to the work of the peace activists some. evidence showed. the weapons were coming from the largest pentagon arms depot on

the west coast california's concord naval weapons station. and i went out just to check out the situation. and discovered that on one side of the road. were literally hundreds of bloggers 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 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 a forty day fast. of our hearts

a conscience is what we were doing and why my son was there he is fourteen years old. brian and duncan murphy and david duncan. placed themselves on the tracks. automat train. here james pretty sure thing you know we just go out there and we chant and then the train slows down and stops. a couple of people lost the road led over to the front gate of the new one of the station inform them that we were getting block in and there was already a train that we could see. this couple box cars were going to show they had to. run to be sure that the engineer knew there was a dog or something on drugs or it is our friend. that the police would come out with comments i'm going to remove them before they can move the train. we delivered . a letter to the person at the base. 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. and then they start walking back and they say. walking back the frames are a little bit. was obviously the main way faster than you'd ever observe a train that stays. and . if i turned around. ran over brian and i saw him play. a few fly out. ryan's body back and forth in there that frame i watched out

and listening to my friends screaming they killed my dad they killed my dad. and i had medical training they even had i.v. equipment in my car because i was on our as a midwife and i asked for someone to go get the idea that card 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 to call another ambulance. this is this you will do. in this room. this is. to unload the money go. brian's action to really open

a lot of people to. what was going on there and why huge there and how much he had sacrifice in order to save. the day because mabel station remained in the national spotlight as protesters of past and present probably going to have a big conference with the nickel occupy. protesters tore up destruction a lucky thing cracks were moved from the ground run over by a train. this morning. one to two a. few minutes we're going to get out there with. which. we will watch it. with you if. for me it's a little that i. began 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 for 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 to receive the nation's highest honor the old says our son.

just to see. this. case was. dismissed. the train attack 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. looks a little. more good. as we gather today the main gate of fort benning. this is there a sacred moment if this woman. cannot go about the business of killing without.

the 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. this is our asteroid star. i realized something that was a factor made by the writers and all of you. play understand i don't have to go to war and i was that we're all on we're all. right there is a bit silly other people i did not know just because i was ordered to do it. so i did learn to be disobedient.

hundred twenty five salvadoran soldiers arrived at fort benning georgia to start training there in combat a small group of us went anderson 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 times hit a very big article that the hardships. 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.

who went to latin america simply to request that this 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 venezuela bolivia he went to ecuador where you met with president rafael correa and at that meeting he announced that ecuador it was calling out of the school of the americas simply said something very important prison according to say that it will have made it because he said this school should not exist. less this the east. to solve. this if. you cannot make your sick. peaceful efforts to disarm the iraqi regime have failed because we are not dealing with peaceful men. 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 our i want you to know he said sure we're going to attack iraq he pulled 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 lebanon libya somalia sudan and iran. i seventy seven countries in five years i says in a classified memo. yes sir i sure will don't short term. the

country has gone into a non mystic fever. out traveling across america to find what makes america the showed the genius to push especially american hero this is it we've come a point in which ultimate is gone so we always are on the margins something. called the culture is moving forward. we're starting last with. will begin to headed east into the swamp we're going into the belly of the beast i think i want to leave now doesn't get any more of them it may be completely different but in this. it's rather the stand.

that i know there are a lot of trouble for our brothers down south across the floor for. a lawyer and that competitor that cuts in their new. kit and. i don't think is a channel for fall. below what a. lot of the. i think it's whole full plate choice i knew as a young man payouts that time in syria has said. from my life for the name after that i will fuck around with mr hates it for jim and then for her for that are fairly new for. the money.

attempting to force regime change in venezuela brought to you by the trumpet ministration washington's gross interference in the internal affairs of the slot an american country is risky illegal and the possibility of large scale violence is very real one thing is certain the people of venezuela will suffer the most. 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 war that was being wasted against a nigger i won't be home when i was growing up and. as a young immigrant community. 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 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 test scare saddam hussein out of power and come back in no time i'll go back to school and everything will be fine. by going its first mission was to run a prisoner of war camp in dallas on air base and there we used fear tactics that amounted to torture in order to keep prisoners to. be interrogated. in 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 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 who are killing to. see choice from a 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 so 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. and that made my case very political to the military commander. on the military installation. 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 about that i'd had no idea what would happen

there. so i mean it is. you it was authorized. under the treaties which we have thought. precedent which we. have to. take more if you want to be a practice i didn't find obedience to it sorry. you she didn't order it illegal intervene in order to commit a crime don't do it. quickly found guilty. 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 after nine months i was released early because of good.

and then i became an anti-war activist thank you i made nobody would stand for the immediate withdrawal of all u.s. troops from iraq when i got out of jail in the first place is that as they said it was not a foreigner where brian was new not 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 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 play nearly ninety percent since two thousand. 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

u.s. is paying one. trillion dollars per year. and preparation. our government spends ten times more prestigious some on average for military costs than most other industrialized. this increased military spending has not made the us more secure home or abroad. 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 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 lay off hundreds of thousands of people before the next election will punish us if you try to cut the military budget so we are now held hostage. and say. we're not 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. to 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 down eleven on our journalists and the.

for leaking the classified video in the related documents manning was charged with espionage and abetting the enemy the sentence was thirty five years in the military prison. 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 have to have 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 apologize 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 personally i wish. people who will risk their reelection are using their powers of office their powers in a corporation to affect 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 cost and consequences of the rule is an instrument of american foreign looms. there's three families right there see this three. over there you can see two here those are just those are images of all those it wounded american and iraqi like children it's a people that's the first thing they see and i think. something is touched it.

euro show because nobody is paying for the wars they think there's a. timeframe for the wreck. and they're not paying for it the threat of. being devastated my child been taken in. this is an effort to be yemen to the world i'm able to feel something. about the monster born to kill me i've been with. the room. and 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 please.

use them to. move closer to that of the modern please. read it and it 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 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 confront your worst fears and then call the society out 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 sins surely. we can risk some discomfort for an easy nice four beasts. are dependent on our suffering to other human beings who are worth more. then the question is how can you justify continuing to live. the people don't come. along to please. the president the same. us are close enough.

in the shadows of our own. jealously what. we see a. good jump from thought charring as him to tell terrorism. from thought crime to face crime to facebook should rename itself. face crime because they are

assisting in a baby. move toward totalitarianism and the question i guess is why why now why it is i'm rearing its ugly head and america at this time of the. united states. and its tax on other countries. economic sanctions or are often just the beginning another thing you like to do is place some military press around the country talking about. the end there has to be an effort to demonize that country and the leader of that country. we have a responsibility for the hate. and we need to make rules for the rest.

because without us there will be. no. british m.p.'s approve the briggs's.
