walking against fear against your. own things let me go down with him because his main dangers prior country. centuries. in one thousand eighty six and one nine hundred eighty seven brian m. and other veterans participated in. veteran peace action teams of the past teams walked through nicaragua's war torn diligence gathering proof of human rights violations by the u.s. back country. so who do need to stay to. bed noting abstract he still who made his station. in central america. anything was going to happen to you it was going to be responsible for the. well there's only one country that's or you know it's united

states we are there farming. areas. and so i think the terrorists from the states are responsible in the course of. the truth. to.

the american people. the truth.

a fast. and offers addition to the. back consul. before i did this last i decided that a significant. could be. you know this very prestigious medal of honor and in protest of u.s. foreign policy and central america. the most powerful statement that i felt that i could make. outside of actually some way of giving up your life well then. came the fast bryan and. fast needs to have strategic objectives. brian was really determined objective of this fast was to change u.s. foreign policy toward. the

people. i went to in washington is many did to support the. steps of the capitol. remember the inspiration that i and others think here. charles bryant. charged. they were doing something that we. were talking about. and what we were doing here but it was bigger than. south central america and of course himself. and what it meant to those on the receiving. end how this is all being carried out with. this. president last week. not.

just. as a fast to thirty five and forty days and that's approaching the time when people began dying from fast like this and although they were being monitored they were getting weaker and weaker and we were quite alarmed why they were killed you might . think. the question can come up relative to fasting well is is it a human life to take your own. are can to my own life if i want to want to know this my life for

. foreign counterintelligence and i get a lead that says investigate. for fast terrorist there fasting on the steps of the capitol jack ryan reviewed the veterans fast for life case files and also those of other u.s. nationwide solidarity groups in the investigation wanted to find out who was this group veterans fast for a life and they were called terrorists under the sabotage statutes. and concluded that the fasters were nonviolent and refused to investigate further is superior putting them under review the bureau just came down on me when i likened it to killing a flea with a shotgun yet i was fired ten months shy of getting a pension but they came down big. those of you who voted for aid i want to say i have yet to receive an explanation that speaks from

a place other than beer bordering on a paranoia reminiscent of them a guide to the idea that we were terrorists and. that it. was it is ridiculous. and a terrorist has no regard for human life whatsoever. i don't see how that can possibly be construed as hurting someone else. as we continue to grow. you will continue to see this mixture of. the. industry which you can't really distinguish. is an outstanding person because he took on the most powerful agency in any
