11:50 am
and my name is dr king on the side and i am a white political scientist. in eighty ninety three my country was invaded by the united states and we've been under an illegal and prolonged occupation ever since i've dedicated my life to not only finding out why the united states invaded my country but also how to bring the occupation to end it. all why was the law. long term american project it began with religious missionaries they left from boston in the eighteen twenty s to go to hawaii and live there to spend the rest of their lives civilizing the poor savages and
11:51 am
barbarians as we saw who lived in the white. room. this is the only policy on the back row. this was the executive monarchs building. hawaii by eight hundred ninety three was already a constitutional monarchy so it had three separate branches of government executive which was here legislative and judicial which is across the street. the. leader of these white a lawyer actually came to washington to win permission from the president of the united states to overthrow the government of the kingdom of why he received that
11:52 am
permission he went home he organized a coup in which the hawaiian kingdom was overthrown american marines were quickly landed just secured the new white government and a few years later a y e became part of the united states. so this is the place that u.s. marines landed this road here is where they marched from honolulu harbor and they occupied this location break here when they invaded my country the honking the. so we're at right now and it overlooks pearl harbor. harbor is a naval base for the united states would falls under the command structure of the pacific command.
11:53 am
it was taken by the united states were invaded in order for the united states to control pearl harbor because of hawaii's location in central central in the central pacific so there's a central location that ships could enter point ports after disarming refurbish. ports rearm and go back fighting. the middle east where it was time for him to leave should be represented all the things it was happy for you to be easy ninety nine and ninety three so what we see rising up out of the lack of people are these. monsters that are. living document of annotation. document each and basically
11:54 am
saying we're right this is what we are worthy of notable truth and absolute most of all public and i see it from the newspapers that we're seeing. that we've developed an unusual. view of the world because of our location we have huge oceans in a couple of weeks neighbors in mexico and canada therefore we've never had to have a foreign policy of clear cooperation with others we've been able because of our power to impose our will on others. won't we here hello come on a charter school. and
11:55 am
hear what you folks do have a local one on the train only to you and your place so. eighteen forty feel like we already know why it was just standing national was this nation state and for fifty years you celebrate if you know you three what we know that. oh united states of america all you legally overthrew. now. all of the of the united states maintain that paul or despite having moved you will already be on this new military why do you hear what i said military that threat of force violent sprouse for you how else are they maintaining power in. their population we just talked about how many guest video two hours and then traffic was all americans are waiting to hear was. but yours.
11:56 am
we are the evidence. that the nationalisation where the evidence of the war crime we're not the war crimes ourselves. already is an independent country all that was overthrown and eighty ninety three was our government by the united states not our country so our country is still an independent state but we're not a control of our independence we're occupying. this book overthrow is an attempt to show the times that america overthrew foreign governments over a long period. the
11:57 am
united states at least in a relative sense is declining in power in the world and we can still remain and i believe will still remain a potent dominant force in the world and we need to accept that the conditions of past decades don't exist anymore and we're not used to this we're not ready for this psychologically americans have always been on top we think of ourselves as always getting our way and we're entering into a period when that's not going to be so easy the challenge is can we adapt our habits of dominance to a more equal multi-polar. u.s.
11:58 am
veterans who come back from war often tell the same stories. were going after the people who were killing civilians they were not interested in the wellbeing of their own soldiers either they're already several generations of them so i just got this memo from the circular defenses office says we're going to attack and destroy the government and seven countries in five years americans pay for the wars with their money others with their lives if we were willing to go into harm's way and
