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's 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 turns are planning to start a forty day fast. of our hearts conscience of this 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 brain. here james 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 across the road went over to the front gate 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 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. 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 while. and then they start walking back and they say . walking back the cranes are local. was obviously the main way faster than you'd ever observe a train that stayed. if i turned around. ran over brian and i saw him play. a few fly out. ryan body really 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 he says baby used to take him to the hospital and they said now is not our jurisdiction and then we have a pall another ambulance. this is this you are. in this room. who are. the ones to unload the money go. brian's action to

really open a lot of people to. what was going on there and why he was there and how much he had sacrifice in order to save. the day because naval station remains in the national spotlight as protesters of past and present rallied on behalf of the conference of the nickel occupy. protesters tore up the section the closest thing tracks were run over by a train. this morning. one to two a. few minutes we're going to be there with. which. we will what it. would do if. for me it's a little bit. big and just wanted to get out of this. brian 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 thousand eighty eight or take those government recognized apply human sacrifice and his service to the people of nicaragua to receive the nation's highest honor the old. you know.

this is a theory. this. wasn't. just. a train attack drew attention to the u.s. military's involvement in the legal 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 is this the moment. cannot go about the business of killing without

. change 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 and this is our s.o.i. it was started. i realized something that was a factor made by the writers and often. played out to stand on our own war in our eyes that were all while we were 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. under twenty five salvadoran soldiers arrived at fort benning georgia to

start training there in combat a small group of us went in to say 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. it a very big article that the torture and. there 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 made decisions to pull out. those countries to be in argentina uruguay and venezuela ah 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 president say that it will have made it because he said this school should not exist. less is for 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 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 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 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 sure will don't short term. the us in order to guarantee obedience by the population will engage and soft to tell terry doesn't and that's clearly on the march and the population is ready

for it you know they were all sad to say ok got to get ready for their get ready to be controlled. baseballs to go to the one for your. money if you were there gun crews decide to move ahead. with. speaking to gather you very for example and they. sure that's does balls to old soul. with no proof she would not be possible but she. had to stand. alone when i saw. that i know there are a lot of trouble rather than across the top before orthodontic as a. family

and that compared to the next question then you can keep an eye on what i did through the channel for truffle that it. was going to. get its whole full. time mysterious it. civil. model for the background mr hates it for a gym and then i hope that our friends in the club. this is a sticker from the water bottle phone in the stomach of a fish the brand is part of the coca-cola company which sells millions of bottles

of soda every day the idea was that let's tell consumers there are the bad ones there are the litter bugs are throwing this away industry should be blamed for all this waste become but he has long promised to reuse the plastic. capsules excuse. that soon. they're plastic kristie cost me on my end i need to stay in your own hands at a special projects funded. online your best bet is the end of it for the city but for now the mountains of moist only grow higher. and. i think he has a big achiles. election. they have election people are suffering from many things they're. sick you are i think. they get to take that they can help the country and to make it to become secure and stable

country so i think he has a big chance they think the people they got ninety percent of the people they gonna be happy if the perception is that when that action. 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 home when i was growing up and. as a young immigrant community and joining the us military in part to pay for a college education through the g.i. bill i wasn't 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 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 to get the right. 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 persistence in combat. which was basically a hit and run operation for them. in order to retaliate since we were dealing with it goes down and we were going after the people are feeling. the situation was very intense 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. 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 with for a long and ventilate became clear to me that i could not in good on chance 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 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 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 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 made it is that so far as you know it was authorized other national under the treaties which we have. precedents which we are so we have to. take more if you want to be assured practice i didn't 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. assertion and given up by bad conduct discharge the motion to. stop sargent the private. marketer 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 and thank me duty which stands for the immediate

withdrawal of all u.s. troops from iraq when i got out of jail in the first place is that i base it on a foreigner where brian was living 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 and still is u.s. 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. and preparation.

our government spends ten times more percent or so on average for military costs than most other industrialized nations. this increased military spending has not made the us more secure 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 secure . export which means endless war to benefit the corporations so we can extract oil stracke and minerals from africa or whatever that our jobs and americans are 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 right before the next election will punish us if you try to cut the military budget so we're now held hostage people do you think what we have to have a military in the world and say hey we're not trying to. 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 the iraq airstrike video collateral murder which shows a u.s. helicopter gun being down eleven on our journalists and some of the. final moments. for

leaking the classified video in related documents manning was charged with espionage and abetting the enemy the symptoms it was thirty five years in the military prison. where all those state department documents to the wiki leaks website is a traitor who want to have a democracy with even some democratic foreign policy. was legal is an interesting that will always be at risk because there are little 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 hurt. to make democracy functional early 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 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 cost and consequences. as an instrument of american foreign looms. there's three families right there see those three. over there you can see two here those are just those are images of all they say wounded yeah american and iraqi like children it's a people that's the first thing they see and i think you touch something is touched . that you know so because nobody is paying for it they think that they.

have to pay for the record. and they're not paying with the threat. of being devastated a child taken in there is this is an effort to convey to him and shoots. would enable people to feel something. about the cost of war and kill me that in this. book. and the sound of the crowd. it takes to remember when you know that you've seen it people over. then it turns to used to be. the woman. who's now been. to vote on the model please. read the

answers because. 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 prayed 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 to want to chill 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 or are then surely we can risk some discomfort

for an easy nice for pete's. or depending on our suffering to other human beings who are worth more. then the question is how can you justify continuing to live as if other people don't count. this is. no longer a please in the. bedroom. you can. say in. this film. the president the same way this illness are close enough. in the shadows of our own. in them. beginning to understand

this in what he's done but then that. night. but. on. his balls to blow the. money if you are the gun crews decide to move ahead. with. bacon to gather you betty for example and they. would do for level they

kind of thing think. that's does ball simple soul ball oh well no proof i would not be part of the change. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the us has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten thousand dollars fine tempi each dish. eighty five percent of global wealth you long to be all for the rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent just last year some with four hundred the for . i've ordered three first circuits for shock and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building two point one billion dollars ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one business shows you can't afford to miss one and only.

united states has always had a. cool news and it's tax on other countries. economic sanctions are are often just the beginning another thing you like to do is place some military pressure on the country music's are talking about. and there has to be an effort to demonize that country and the leader of that country because. we have a responsibility for the home. and we need to make rules for the rest. because without us there would be chaos.

just. the crisis in venezuela intensifies with new elections for the opposition held national assembly cold and u.s. sanctions against. him posed even assassination of threats alleged.
