you know if you are going through. invited us factory for the twenty fifth anniversary of the founding of the episode. on october fifth or in the past this plane were shot down in a car or they were playing grab the car. corporate terrorists that reagan had privately. and there was one crew member the parachuted to shake the. usual price many of them for its. minuteness currents or cure me after we arrived. the nikken are when your dish or tribunals take house of cards out to the crash site and asked us to events we wanted to go on a helicopter without us so they crashed i wasn't a shock to us about all the flights you've been on all these covert flights of army air corps and he would course angry because he had been abandoned by the reagan

administration he was basically a covert operator mercenary he would proud of. his capture would reveal a complex web of covert operations run by u.s. colonel oliver north reagan's administration had bypassed congressional control and funded the country insurgents through drug trafficking and secret arms sales to be ron. paul secret but the house in question you know and i'm not taking any more questions a sister second i'm going to ask a journey general meese to brief you on what we presently know what he has found in the united states why. somebody didn't ask why. the revelations of the iran contra affair gave newman showed that the weapons were coming from the largest pentagon arms depot on the west coast california's concord naval weapons station.

when i went out just a chode. were literally hundreds of bunkers with all these weapons. there's a train track from these bunkers that came out and crossed the highway and then went out to the piers where these balls 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 that is what we were doing and why my son was there he is fourteen years old. brian and duncan murphy and david duncan. placed themselves on the tracks. automat train. here

jane not that i'm 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 blocking and there was already a train that we could see you know this couple boxcars with munitions they had to. run to be sure that d'andre near there was a dog or something on the rocks or a good friend. that the police would go out with comments i'm going 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 going to be. do

it anyway. then they start walking back and they say. walking back the freight and start over. is obviously the main way faster than it ever observed a train to that stage. if i turned around. ran over bryan and i saw him play put a few fly out. ryan's body back and forth in there that frame i watched out and listening to my father and screaming they killed my dad they killed my dad . i had medical training they even had i.v. equipment in my car because i was on our as

a midwife and i asked for someone to go get the idea that 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. well this is a. good in this room for you. to unload the money go to. brian's action to really open a lot of people to. know what was going on there and why you should there and how much he had shuttle flights in order to save.

today the concord naval weapons station remained in the national spotlight as protesters of past and present rallied on behalf of the con from the mechanical occupy. protesters tore up the section of plugging cracks were moved from the ground over by a train. this morning. one to two a. few minutes we're going to be there with. good luck we will watch it. with you if. this is for me it's a little bit to the last i. began and just wanted to get out of. ryan immediately wanted to get out into the right back to the tracks. 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 not to bomb diligence. in one nine hundred eighty eight or take those government recognized the human sacrifice them to his service to the people of nicaragua he received the mission. field goal says our son deno. can also. be. just a few. this was. dismissed.

the train attack drew attention to the u.s. military's involvement in 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. as we gather the main gate of fort benning. this is there a sacred moment if this woman. cannot go about the business of killing without. change 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 made.

and this is our s.o.i. wide start right. now i realize nothing that was factory or made about it. at all. played out to stand on our own war now as it were all while we were 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 schooner assassins' sweetheart it's well known in latin america. a school for

dictators a school march. washington calls front page long to figure. it a very big article that. there were a few news at the school of the americas techniques of torture is society 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 this stops and in 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 going 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. less is for the east. to solve. this if. you cannot make course. 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 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 it yes sir i said well don't. try and some american foreign policy at its core isn't really about furthering national interest is there an ideological foundation that is the driver we're told it's all about democracy or is it really all about power and the purposeful denial of agency others on the international stage.

it was a bit like it's a small it's. you notice the first one to open your eyes for girls going forward from the other in the woods. but you'll see this for the door to. see if it was national guard coming off. the top. of the area. it's a local shelter from the school seems. to. support school board in these clinics going up to the school or the from your the roof because being. a shingle wife would be a smear. job because you knew those newcomers. suppose someone to be lenient because you have to also hold still if you believe that

eighty and. 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 want to be when i was growing up in nicaragua as a young immigrant. joining the us military in part to pay for a college education through the g.i. bill. some very political i read the new 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. 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 the 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 enemy we're going after the people are feeling. 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 i doubt 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 driven. after a five month eery 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 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 under the treaties which we have. of the french that which we are so selfish have to take more if you want to be a direction shadi than find obedience to authority. you 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 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

a duty we stand for the immediate withdrawal of all you. troops from iraq when i got out of jail one of the first places that i based it was on a foreigner where brian was leaving not the time from that moment on my association with brian began to open my eyes some 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 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 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 the u.s. is paying one trillion dollars per year for war and the preparation of. our

government spends ten times more percent or so on average for military costs than most other industrialized nations. this increased military spending has not made the us more secure home or abroad. 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 that our role in america under corporate globalization will be security exploit which means endless war to benefit the corporations so we can extract oil stracke and minerals from africa or whatever that our job in america is going to be making weapons fighting wars and so increasingly we see unities addicted to military

spending cutting the military budget just a tiny little bit of corporations. you say don't do that because we're going to lay off hundreds of thousands of people right before the next election will punish us if you try to cut the military budget so we're down held hostage people do you think well we have to have a military in the world and say hey we're not trying to in tonight 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 air strike video collateral murder which shows a u.s. helicopter gun being down eleven on our 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 control and some 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. 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 too much in function really to get the information we need to meet whistleblowers who expose the truth that i personally wish. people who will risk

their reelection. using their power. their powers are corporations to pull shit. at dawn every sunday since february two thousand and four contemporary 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 see those three. over there you can see two here those are just those are images of all the basic wounded american and iraqi like children it's a people that's the first thing they see and i think. something is touched that.

show 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 him and shoots. would enable people to feel something. about the cost of war. but just so that. with the blood. and the sound of the crowd. let's put it takes to remember. that she'd seen it before. and it turned seized it. and on the case. of the. news and the. put on modern please. read it.

and so has. 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 gala 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 you call the shots 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 our sins surely we can risk some discomfort or.

for pete's. or depending on our 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 know. this is. the please. present the same with this illness are close enough. and in the shadows of our own. skin them. don't tell

this thing would be easy but then. let. blood. her. let her. i think is an outstanding person because he took on the most powerful agency in this county or you'll be to stay if you look at. mark was the

day that when he was. going to. take for the first time i noticed something. pretty much when i first started the corruption in palm beach county is not something that you can smell of. bad it's. a wink. we've had. in this county. you know we should stop. this stuff. ok you know it's your funeral. political. men they know.

came here before you came here. in many us states capital punishment is still practiced convicted prisoners. execution of the. favor the. people because of what they do have given up their rights is. even proven. true. before we. and we actually do something about. this morning a dead heat in israel with most of the votes counted the still no clear winner in the poll from. both.

european allies pledging to hit city goods with an eleven billion dollars in trade . should african-americans in the u.s. be paid reparations for the suffering of the descendants of slaves we put that question to. just because somebody. doesn't mean i'm responsible for you know who did it you should have been able to why they were alive the government had literally buried it paid out everybody else and turned it back on the black people in america.
