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. brian and duncan murphy and david duncan. place themselves on the tracks. train. here jane not a pretty sure thing you know we just go out there and we stand and then the train slows down or stops. a couple of people lost 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 you know this combo box cars with munitions they had to. run to be sure that the engineer knew there was a dog or something or a good friend. to the police would go out with comet some point to remove them before they could move the train. we deliver the letter to the person at the base. and 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 going to be doing anyway. and then they started walking back and there's they were walking back the train started. the train was obviously a mean way faster than. so there is

a train to that stage. if i turn around. and go brian and i saw him play put. fly out. ryan body back and forth that for a while i watched listening to my father 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 ours and that's why. 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 he says baby used to take him to the hospital and they said no he's not our jurisdiction and then we have to call another ambulance.

on. well this is a school. in this room before you. to unload them with. ryan's action it really opened a lot of people to. what was going on there and why you should there and how much he had sacrificed in order to say i'll. be able to station remains in the national spotlight as protesters of past and present rallies on behalf of the n.d.p. come from limiting the global. photos to still a perception of the same facts will come from over by a train. i've said it but this morning. i

wanted to get. your feelings we're going to be there with. which. we will watch it. with you if. this is for me it's a little bit to the last i. began and i just wanted to get out of this. ryan immediately wanted to get out into the right back to the track. 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 to receive the nation's highest honor the old is our son you know. just to see you. this was. just. the train attack drew attention to the u.s. military's involvement in the illegal wars highlighting its role in training. in

secret for news from other countries most of the covert training took place in fort benning georgia at the notorious school of the americas. looks awful there's 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. on it this is our asteroid wide star right. i realize something that was

backers are paid by the writers and often. played out to stand on our own war now as it were all while 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 school assassin's sweetheart it's well known in latin america a school for dictators a school march. and course front page long to cure. it. very big article that the torch.

that we're a few news at the school of the americas techniques of torture is says serious. crimes against humanity here. and it was time. to put out the word. this. who went to latin america simply to request that the stops and 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 president say that it will have made it because he said this school

should not exist. unless it's for the east. to solve. this if. you cannot make force. 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 he 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 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 he sits yes sir i said well don't short term. just manufacture common sense and stick to the public well. when the running closest to protect themselves. when the final go round. no one posts that. we can all middle of the room six. million real new.

malts this if. you give us the first one to the finished we go forward from the other hundreds. if. not you'll see just what i do want to. see if it was national guard. or. the it. was from. their school board of these critics one of the least musical. because the. showing of the wife would be smeared. all over the city of new. apollo someone to name it because it does not spell a few plays easy. what

holds us. institutionally don't. they put themselves on the line when they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to. have to go right to cross the saliva before three in the morning can't be good . i'm interested always in the waters in the. west sydney. you know world of big partisan movies lot and conspiracies it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. 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. 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. west being way siggins a nigger i want to be home when i was growing up in it. as 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 and 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 this. all. everything is fine. 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. be interrogated. in city of ramadi it became evident. that our military commanders were not interested in helping 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 you were dealing with a ghost and we were going out to the people who are killing so. 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. 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 with 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 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. on the military 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 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 mean it is. so far as you it was all the other national

of the treaties which we have some. of the press of it which we are so we have to take for if you want to be a direction i didn't find obedience to authority. you she didn't order it illegal intervene in order to commit the crime don't do it. quickly found guilt the. assertion. and given a bad conduct discharge the motion to stop sergeant a private. teacher 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 do we stand for the immediate withdrawal of all u.s. troops from iraq when i got out of jail in the first place is that i've decided what's on a foreign land 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 a 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 us government has increased its military budget nearly ninety percent since two thousand. and seven hundred billion dollars per year. health costs plus interest from more than one point five million veterans and the us is paying one trillion dollars per year. and the preparation of. our government spends ten times more persistent on average for military costs than most other industrialized nations. this increased military spending has not made

the us more secure. 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 exploit which means endless war to benefit the corporations so we can extract oil. and minerals from africa or whatever that our job in america is going to be making weapons fighting wars and 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 you if you

try to cut the military budget so we're held hostage. safe place for not trying to into night 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 gunning down eleven on armed 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 front some foreign policy after 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. to make democracy functional really to get the information we need we need whistleblowers who expose the truth and personal risk. people who will risk their reelection using their powers or both their powers in a corporation to effect bullshit.

at dawn every sunday since. two thousand for the temporary 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. there's three families right there. over there you can see two here those are just those are images of all these when do. you like children it's over people that's the first thing they see and i think you touch something is touched their hero so because nobody is paying for it they think that they. have paid for the record. and they're not paying with the threat of. being devastated

childhoods taken in there this is an effort to be to him and shoots. would enable people to feel something. about the cost of war and to kill me i think just so. then the sound of the crowd. let's put it takes to remember. when you know sixteen it people. then it done she used it. on the. news and then. put on modern please. read it. and says. everybody has a greater role to play this role is playing right now people who are afraid to

write great 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've confronted your worst fears and called 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 will be willing to go into harm's way and willing to risk being killed for our sins surely we can risk some discomfort or. for pete's. depending on our suffering other beings who are worth more. then the question is

how can you justify continuing to live other people don't know. this. please. present the same. of us are close enough. to share. i won't. ask. don't tell this thing work.
