greed immersion he would grow out of. his capture would reveal a complex web of covert operations run by us 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 all secret but the house and the shoot down. into the open to make a mistake it's really hard to do a round search 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's concord 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 called a 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. are planning to start afforded if asked. of our hearts conscience us what we were doing. you know why my son was there he's

fourteen years old. brian. murphy and david duncan. place themselves on the tracks. here jane not a 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 cross the road and went over to the front gate of the watson station inform them that we were done we can block in and there was already a train that we could see you know this couple boxcars of munitions they had to. run to be sure that the engineer knew there was a dog or something. to the police would probably come at some point to remove them before they can 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 not going to be doing any well. then they started walking back and they say. walking back the cranes are loading. it was obviously the main way faster than it ever observed a train in the state. that they turned around. and i saw him. put a few fly out. brian. back and forth in there that are a lot i watch and listen. from my friend screaming they killed my dad they killed

my dad. and i had medical training i even had i.v. equipment in my car because i was on ours and they drive. my ass 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 as a few of the. good in this room do you. do this with be able to unload the money go to. ryan's action and really open up a lot of people to. know what was going on there and why you should there and

how much he had sacrifice in order to save. the concert naval weapons station remains in the national spotlight as protesters of past and present rallied on behalf of the n.d.p. conference of mechanical occupy. protesters tore up the section of blood stained cracks were working the brown from over by a train. i visited this morning. one to two a. few minutes we're going to get out the people there with. goods. we will watch it. with you. for this and for me it's a little that. is just the beginning and just wanted to get out of the struggle ryan immediately wanted to get out. into the right back to the traps see

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 vietnam to bomb diligence. in one nine hundred eighty eight or take those government recognized employees sacrifice and his service to the people of nicaragua to receive the nation's highest feel good says our son deno.

just sitting here because this. case 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. there's more good i think there's. a main gate of fort benning into. this is there a sacred moment if this woman. cannot go about the business of kill. being without

. 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 the p.t.s.d. that we reading so much about now the message is clear we are not made for. this is areso a wide stare right. i realize something that was that they got it right and all of you. play on a stand alone and you're a 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 after say not in our name. and what we found through the freedom of information act was a school of assassins as we are now 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 hardship. there were a few news at the school of the americas a techniques of harsh mistress says serious. crimes against here. and it was time. to put out the word. yet. who went to latin america simply to recall. asked

the stops and the troops here and i'm happy to report that five countries may just say should just pull out. those countries to be in argentina uruguay venice away a lot. 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 he said something very important president. will have made it because he said this school should not exist. less is for the east. to solve. this if. you can make your city. 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 said yes sir i said well don't show it to em. i do think the numbers mean something they matter to us with over one trillion

dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime happens each day. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent of the world market goes thirty percent some with four hundred to five hundred three first second per second and fifth when rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overall . the only number you need to remember is one one business showed you know board the mid one and only boom but. then you'll smell like it's a malt this is yours and you notice that the first one to open your eyes for girls can stumble from a hundred pounds. i just

knew this would do him good except. the thing i was national guard coming off. the plane. of the year. but some of it was from the films. school board of these products one of the least mythical getting it only because between. the fishing and don't like to be smeared. all over this is. a post someone to be a name is because it does a good style if you play at eighty. six. slightly.

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 the nigger i won't be home when i was growing up and. as a young immigrant community i had joined the us military in part to pay for a college education through the g.i. bill i 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 is 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 city of ramadi it became evident. that our military commanders were not interested in helping the iraqi people. they were not interested in the wellbeing 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 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 furlough 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 all 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. 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 searchers in a time of war so i was really afraid of buck and i had no idea what would happen. so i mean it is. true as you know it was authorized there are international under the treaties which we have. at. precedents which we. have to

take for if you want to be a serious crack society then find obedience to authority. 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 so i did the private. market share 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 me duty which stands with 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 at the time from that moment on my association with brian began to open my eyes in ways that i had never imagined possible and 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 us government has increased its military budget play 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 u.s. is paying one trillion dollars per year for war and preparation. our government spends ten times more for citizen on average for military costs than most other industrialized nations. this is. increased military spending has not made the u.s. 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 and war to benefit the corporations so we can extract oil. and minerals from africa or whatever our job in america is going to be making weapons fighting wars with 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 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. 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 eleven on our journalists and the. leaking classified video in related documents manning was charged with espionage and abetting. the symptoms 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 influence on foreign policy have to 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 said consequences of my actions and i made these decisions i believed i was going to get the information we need to meet whistleblowers who expose the truth that personally british. people who will risk their reelection are using their powers of office or 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 of them as an instrument of american foreign looms. there's three was right there are three. over there you can see two here those are just those are images of all the ways it won't do american and iraqi children it's a people that's the first thing they see and i think we touch something is touched . that you know so because nobody is paying for it they think that they. are wrecked. and they're not paying with the threat of. being devastated a child taken in there is this is an effort to get him into it's. to enable people to feel something. about the cost of war and. you killed me i've been. out. of this.

and the sound of the crowd. would it take to remember when you know that you've seen it in the full. view of the. then it done she used it. on them please. use them. to vote it out in modern please. read that bit and she has done. everybody has a greater role to play than the old is 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 with a measure of fear because you can be very frightened but it's equally liberal when it's cold and you've confronted your worst fears and then called the society out and you said i love you enough to risk your wrath by opposing your point. and i didn't harm anyone if we don't really mean to go into harm's way and willing to risk being killed for all for our sins surely we can risk some discomfort for. for pete's our lives 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 president. is a close enough. i

think more to get it is an outstanding person because he took on the most powerful agency in this county for you to state his. mark was the day that when he was fighting the. most contentious critics say he is the first time i noticed something wasn't in fleece work pretty much when i first started the corruption in palm beach county is not something that you can smell. it's. a wink he wasn't what i wanted to do. we've had more shootings in this county

then some states have had collectively to gun went to his website began featuring the comments about guns as family the sheriff's wife and men join us squash you like a bug you know i wish you'd stop when you said santa let me stop i believe what i'm doing i was like ok you know it's your funeral looking for the f.b.i. raided p.b.s. and critics in the house. i snuck out of the united states. into russia political signing. men they know as bad wolf. you know world of big partisan lot and conspiracy it's time to wake to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream 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. it's not. going to. be. good.

too close to call israeli election exit polls put long time premier benyamin netanyahu and the challenger benny gantz in a dead heat as both declared victory. president putin dismisses them all or investigation into the alleged collusion between trump and russia in two thousand and sixteen calling it a total nonsense. and the trump administration fires up fresh salvo at its european allies pledging to hit e.u. goods with tariffs worth as much as eleven billion dollars and the u.s. says the move is in retaliation for subsidies given to boeing rival air bus.
