6:39 pm
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 pulled up a piece of paper off his desk so i just got this memo from the sector defense's office 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 said yes sir i said well don't show it to him.

6:41 pm

6:42 pm
these critics one of the biggest musical. because you. should go into why for the smear. job if you. oppose someone. because of a close call if you were eighty. proves that you don't need interest rates above zero you don't need capital you don't need savings you don't need. you don't need inflation so people like united states are saying like well why can't we just be like you. i. i. cut.
6:43 pm
i. i. i. i. 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 the nigger i went before when i was growing up and. as a young immigrant. i had joined the u.s. military in part to pay for a college education through the g.i.
6:44 pm
bill. some 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 in this war. because maybe we will just scare saddam hussein out of power and come back in no time i'll go back to school and everything is fine. my unit first mission was to run the 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 the city of ramadi it became evident. that our military commanders were not
6:45 pm
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 the interim. which was basically hit and run operation for them. in order to retaliate since you were dealing with a ghost and we were 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 too 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
6:46 pm
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. 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 and they still have the death penalty for the searchers in a time of war so i was really afraid of what god had no idea what would happen.
6:47 pm
but it is. true as you know it was all. under the treaties which we have. pressed it with we. have to. take more if you want to be a serious crack society and find obedience to authority. she didn't order is illegal intervene in order to commit a crime don't do it. quickly found guilt the. assertion and given up by bad conduct discharge the motion to stop sergeant the private. sector 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.
6:48 pm
and then i became an anti-war activist thank you a duty we stand for the immediate withdrawal of all us troops from iraq when i got out of jail one of the first places that i visited was kind of 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 us 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 play nearly ninety percent since two thousand and one that budget now stands at seven hundred billion dollars per year. in health costs plus interest from more than one point five million veterans and
6:49 pm
the us is paying one trillion dollars per year for war and preparation for. our government spends ten times more for citizens on average from. costs of the industrialized. this increased military spending has not made the u.s. more secure home or abroad. 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 export which means analyst 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
6:50 pm
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 hundreds of thousands of people before the next election will punish us if you try to cut the military budget so we're now held hostage. and say hey we're not trying to. play now the way we conduct ourselves in the world makes us a lot of enemies and one thing that i think is important. 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 down on our journalists and the.
6:51 pm
leaking classified video in related documents manning was charged with espionage under. getting the end of the sentence was thirty five years in the military prison . where 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 influence on foreign policy. 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 hurt. to make democracy functional early to get the information we
6:52 pm
need they need whistleblowers who expose the truth that personally british. 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 costs and consequences of the rule as 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. something is touched that
6:53 pm
you know so because nobody thinks or they think that they. are wrecked. and they're not paying. really threatened. me devastated my child taken him. this is an effort to meet him into the world i'm able people feel something. about the monster born to kill me i've been. out. of this. and the sound of the crowd. let's put it to remember. when you know you've seen it beautiful. then it turn to used to. go on with please.
6:54 pm
do both that i'm a model please. read it 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 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 you can be very frightened but it's equally liberal when it's over and you've confronted your worst fears and called the society out and you said i love you enough to risk your wrath 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
6:55 pm
for our sins surely we can risk some discomfort for. for pete's. to ten hours and hours. 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. on the. president the same way that they're close enough.
6:56 pm

6:57 pm
breaks it. as we continue to grow online with our online identities and personas you will continue to see this mixture of physical crime and internet crime and the. where there are almost industry you can't really distinguish what all. is an outstanding person because he took on the most powerful agency in this county or you'll be to state if you look at it from the. mark was the day that when he was five and. do going to has been the sheriff's most contentious critic for a year is the first time i noticed something wasn't right in fleece work pretty much when he first started the corruption in palm beach county is not something that you can smell like bad it's a nod and
