third 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 questions or 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 was conquered 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's a train track and these bunkers that came out and across 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 planning 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. place

themselves on the tracks. here jane not good i'm pretty sure saying you know we just go out there and we stay on 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 blocking and there was already a train that we could see. box cars with munitions they had to. run to be sure to engineer a new dog or something on the rocks or use our brains. to the police would probably come at some point to remove them before they could 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 well. then they start walking back and they say. walking back the train started. it was obviously the main way faster than you'd ever observe the train stage. that they turned around. and i saw him play put a few fly out. and ryan riding back and forth in there that are a lot i watched listening to my screaming they killed my dad they killed my dad. and i had medical training. they even had i.v.

equipment on my car because i was on the midwife and 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 this your. in this room before you. go to work. this is the with the. brains action it really opened a lot of people to. know 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 remained in the national spotlight as protesters of past and present rallies on behalf of the n.d.p. conference of mechanical occupy. protesters tore up the section of the same tracks we're working with run over by a train. i visited this morning. one to two a. few minutes we're going to talk about the people there with. which. 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 tracks instancing you see in the surgeon that's in his heart immediately his concern. passion 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 vietnam to bomb diligence. in one thousand eighty eight or take those government recognized employees sacrifice and his service to the people of nicaragua to receive the nation's highest field is our son deno. can also. just see here because this. was. just.

a 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. for good i think this is. the main gate of fort benning. fourth on this they put the money this is there a sacred moment is this the moment. cannot go about the business of killing without . the changed we cannot come back from vietnam afghanistan and iraq it.

wars and go on with our lives is 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 our s.o.i. wide stare right. i realize something that was. made by the right and often. played on a stand alone at war now as it were or why we're all. right here 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 say not in our name. and what we found through the

freedom of information act was a schooner assassins as we are and it's well known in the latin america a school for dictators a school march. washington course front page long to figure. it a very big article of the torch and. there were a few news at the school of the americas techniques of harsh mississippi says serious. crimes against here. and it was time. to put out the word. yet. who went to latin america simply to request that the stops and in the troops here and i'm happy to report that five countries major city school. those countries to be in argentina uruguay

venezuela. bolivia he went to ecuador with president rafael correa and at that meeting he had not just that ecuador it was going out of the school of the americas simply 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. this is. what you can 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 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 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 in five years i says in a classified memo he's shit yes sir i sure will don't short term. the country has gone into a nihilistic fever. i think and hit the road and get out the traveling across america to find what makes america the scholl it's the genius this is the quintessential american hero this is it we've come

a point in which alan would have done something we always are on the margins something. called the culture is moving forward. we're starting last with is 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 ground zero that we may be completely different by the end of this. few. united states can always add a. new. tax on other countries'. economic sanctions or are often just the beginning another thing you like to do is place some military pressure on the countries attorney 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. if both or both of the world for the. if you are the gun crews decide to move ahead . with. fake into a very focused and they flew. level they kind of integration that's does falls it will so it does fall over not proving she will be part of the change. 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 and it. was a young immigrant community and joining 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 test 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 outside 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 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 enemy we're going after the people who are killing to. 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 so afraid to take a stand. until i went home on a tour with farlow 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 of buck and i had no idea what would happen there. so i mean it is. 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 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. market or 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 and 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 leaving that 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 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 time nearly ninety percent since two thousand more 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 u.s. is paying one trillion dollars. war and preparation. our government spends ten times more percent of some on average for military costs over industrialized. this increased military spending has not made the us more secure home. 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 exports which means endless war to benefit the corporations so we can extract oil. minerals from africa or whatever that 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 thousands of people right before the next election will punish us if you try to cut the military budget so we're 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 about militarism.

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 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 to sentenced 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 little bit of 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 early to get the information we need they 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 costs 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 won't do 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. yeah so because nobody is paying for the wars they think they're right. thing for the record. 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 for me to kill me.

and the sound of the crowd. you might put it takes to remember. when you know you've seen it people who. then it turns to used to. go on the police to. use them and. to vote it out in modern. 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 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 over and you've confronted your worst fears and then called 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 all for our sins surely we can. some discomfort for. four beasts. are dependent on our suffering to other human beings who are worth much. then the question is how can you justify continuing to live as if other people don't count. the things.

you can. say. the president say this does are close enough. to share. i was asking them to. tell this new book. but then that. was. by.

survival guide book station just like all the stars simply at least. be sure to get back. repatriations look at the rest of seventy. philip a separate kaiser report. i mean i mean i didn't you know you. saw on t.v. it's one of those things. goes in one room you know most of the best to be in years and years it was notable to the day of the month but you know. we use the believe that was the idea but because religion i said i'd. like to use the

media this is. one of those. these you. know it's not a movie you know you. should read the stand in here from us and. move from one house. right now are those that are are from our trove of the from there are rather across the top before the fourth down because of that. i'm going to let him but i'm going to cut him a new cut and keep an eye on what i don't think is a channel for truffle that it doesn't have picked up. a load and then

i'm watching my michelle the downside of it does show that they owned my the. number set up around the hey how you want to do it. and get this whole full place choice where you got the i knew where you're from and pay i think time in syria says it lays. a. lot farther than africa will fuck around mr hates it for jim and then oil for hope that our freedom in the course. of the. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime stamping each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw 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 ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one business show you can't afford to miss the one and only boom bust. back to. your. full trump again says he doesn't rule out sending troops to venezuela to support the opposition leader one why does that have to washington impose new sanctions on president maduro they want the us to back off and stop seeking regime change how. it's been assigned.
