so after reading trash for life and a stick in the nicaraguan group. invited us factory for the twenty fifth anniversary of the founding of the episode. on october fifth or in the past this plane was shot down in a car for the poor play dropping. the cork occur at reagan and privately. and there was one crew member the parachuted to shake the. new regime props to geno's interests. wisconsin cure me after we arrived in. the nick an arm when you're sure tribunals take house and close out to the crash site and asked us to events we wanted to go

on a helicopter with our supplies to the crash site house and question walk to us about all the flights you've been on all these covert flights of army air corps and he was course angry because he had been abandoned by the reagan administration he was basically a covert operator mercenary he was 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 drug trafficking and secret arms sales to be ron. paul secret but the house in question down blew it out into the open to make a mistake it's really hard to say wrong sir no and i'm not taking any more french to say just a second i'm going to ask a journey general meese to brief you on what we. presently know what she has found

in the united states why good enough some of. 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. and i went out just to check out the situation. and discovered that on one side of the road. were literally hundreds of bloggers 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 pier is where these balls were loaded on to the ships.

we had a press conference in which the better in-store planning to start a forty day fast. of our hearts conscience 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 grain. chain not a pretty sure thing you know we just go out there and we shannon and the train slows down and stops. a couple of people across the road went over to the front gate of the no watson station inform them that we were done we can walk in and there was already a train that we could see. this couple boxes. they had two spotters on the front

to be sure to engineer knew there was a dog or something on the tracks or it is our friend. that the police would probably come at some point to remove them before they could move the train. we deliver the letter to the person at the base. that person or someone else said we understand there's going to be violence here today. and we said no no we're telling people or dogs they're not being doing any well. and then they start walking back and they say. walking back the cranes are global. it was obviously the main way stansfield moved ever observed a tree in the state. i

turned around. ran over brian and i saw him play. a few fly out. to brian body back and forth in there that frame i watched listening to my son screaming they killed my dad they killed my dad. and i had medical training even had i.v. equipment in my car because i was on ours and that wife and i asked for someone to go get the idea that called 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 now is not our jurisdiction and then we have to call another ambulance.

there's a school. in this room before you go to the. body this is the with. brian's action it really opened a lot of people to. what was going on there and why who should there and how much he had sacrifice in order to save. the concert naval weapons station remained in the national spotlight as protesters of past and present rallied on behalf of the confirmation of the nickel occupy. protesters to a perception of bloodstain cracks when working with brown from over by a train. i visited this morning. i wanted to. feel insecure because i will be there with.

good luck to feel what it. would do if. for me it's a little that i. began and just wanted to get out of this. brian immediately wanted to get out into the right back to the track 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 orders and vietnam to bomb diligence. in one nine hundred eighty eight or take those government recognized apply and sacrifice come to his service to the people of nicola. to receive the many. the

old goose still says our son deno. just to see the miracles this. was. just. the train attack drew attention to the u.s. military's involvement in the legal wars highlighting its role in training secret carney's 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 today the main gate of fort benning don't know who. owns the port the money this is there a sacred moment is this the moment. 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 the p.t.s.d. that we reading so much about now. the message is clear we are not made. on it and this is our asteroid star. i realize something that was backers are paid by the writers nothing at all to. play this stand up on how to go to war now as it were all off. we're all. right there is

a bit silly other people i know just because i was ordered to do it so i don't. 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 say not in our name. and what we found through the freedom of information act was a school of assassins as we are and it's well known in latin america a school for dictators a school march. washington calls front page long to. hit a very big article that the torture and. there were a few news at the school of the americas techniques of torture is serious.

crimes against here. and it was time to put out the word. that. 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 made decisions to pull out. those countries to be in argentina uruguay and venice away a lot. he went to ecuador where you met with president rafael correa and at that meeting he announced that ecuador was swelling out of the school of the americas simply said something very important for us an accordion to say that it will have made it because he said this school should not exist. less is for the east. so let's face it.

you may 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 of 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 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. yes sir i said well don't. those are the gate have to be changed still living with historical legacy sophie decimalization most of the. legal frameworks invest in the uk all of them are designed for a dusty old face of a stick watch and now we are moving. i think. our concepts are behind me. but i can. be the first one to look at the finished goods can spoil it for me it would remove. my choice

of me this would do him good except. if it was national. at the base. of the libya. was performed of course from. these critics one of the things you'd be new to lose because they've been. shamed into life will be smeared. all over the city if you go. to follow someone. because of a spell if you. eighty. 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 an iraq the same kind of war that was being wasted against a nigger i want to be home when i was growing up in it. as a young immigrant community i had joined the u.s. 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 will be 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 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 we were dealing with those then and we were going after the people her feelings too. choice 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 still afraid to question i was too afraid to take a stand. until i went home on a tour with her alone and eventually became clear to me that i could not in good on chance 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. 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 serbs 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. so far as you know it was all the other national under the treaties which we have. precedents which we are. takes more if you want to be a practice i didn't 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 staff sergeant the private. marketer of my pay and twelve months of incarceration in my military jail. there i became a prisoner of conscience. after nine months i was released early because of good conduct and then i became an anti-war activist thank a duty we stand for the immediate withdrawal of all u.s. troops from iraq when i got out of jail one of the first places that i visit it was not a foreigner where brian was living at the time from that moment on my association with brian and 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 that 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 us is paying one trillion dollars per year for war and preparation for. our government spends ten times more for citizens on average for military costs than most other industrialized nations. this increased military spending has not made the us more secure at 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 our role in america under corporate globalization will be security exports which means endless war to benefit the corporations so we can extract oil. minerals from africa whatever that our jobs and americans are going to be making 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. in the world and say. we're not trying to. point out 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. in april two thousand and ten army private manning sent to wiki leaks to iraq air strikes video collateral murder which shows a u.s. helicopter gun down on our journalists simply. for leaking classified video in related documents manning was charged with espionage and abetting. 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. with even some. to confront 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 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 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 cost and consequences. as an instrument of american foreign looms. to st louis right there see those three. if you can see to hear just those are images of all the ways it won't do american and iraqi children it's people that's the first thing they see and i think you touch something is touched. so because nobody takes or they think that they. have faith for the record. and they're not going with the threat. of being devastated a child taken in there is this is an effort to image it's. would enable people to feel something. about the cost of war. you killed me i've been with.

the room. and the sound of the crowd. let's put it to remember when you know that you've seen it people over. the. then turn to use drill. out on the pleas of them and use them than. to vote it up in modern english. read a bit and 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 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 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 wrath by opposing your point. and i didn't harm anyone if we don't willing to go into harm's way and willing to risk being killed for all for our sins surely we can risk some discomfort for an easy nice for pete's our lives are dependent on our suffering to other human beings who are worth just as 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. is

an outstanding person because he took on the most powerful agency in his county for you to state if you look at the analogy. 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 one of the first part of the corruption in palm beach county it's not something that you can smell or. it's. a wink wasn't what i wanted to do. we've had more

shootings in this county then some states have had collective drug and went to his website began featuring comments about go just family the sheriff's wife and men going to squash you like a bug you know we should stop then he said then i'm left with stuff i believe what i'm doing ok you know it's your funeral building f.b.i. raided p.b.s. and critics in the house. i snuck out of the united states. into russia political sign. men they know bad wolf. the business model of facebook is to pressure people to continue communicating through facebook and giving facebook personal information this is what makes facebook a surveillance monster so facebook does not have users facebook has

used people that facebook use it's. the stories that shape the way care not drag times by police wiki leaks they did you knew sancia arrested after spending the last seven years holed up in the ecuadorian embassy in london. arrest global attention and spot concern over songs used possible extradition to the u.s. . from a legal point of view of justice point of view this is a total stitch up joyce knowledge will not face due process or justice who's going to face. a simulacrum of it.
