11:43 pm
somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the. u.s. military. in my i phone or have a 1000 times the capability of the of the computers we had on board the space for at that time i mean it's ridiculous that in my back pocket i have much much more capability than we had in the hood and the entire apollo program. you mentioned this is 35 and you have a career and career involves using your i phone in your computer things that have been in an office. perhaps you sort of good things have it circular. you could have to stop doing all this and this is tell you lou the minutes must be for my world
11:44 pm
became smaller and smaller and smaller until i ended up running it in a box. of very strong magnetic field on my head in my head. think of it like a real hard pressure on my skin burns and that wireless access point they're just continuous on saying with our students in the schools. we are just continually are citizens in this microwave radiation it is certainly electoral small and it's getting worse. we have more of the current. the saw was prescribed in the last 3 to 4 months this is cracks a teen. towel a pram this is the annex. i'm tired of taking all these men
11:45 pm

11:46 pm
was. the battle for being grain. ok. yes it is. ok it's still pending i didn't say what status they were. both my dad my brother prior navy in the army national guard and that's kind of like it follows in the family and follows the footsteps was excited and completely just hyped up about going and all my family was proud of me. my dad is my biggest
11:47 pm
hero. told us of your own being taken care of and i guess that's one of the hard things that i have to accept because i told her that she would be. who's in february we got a call. once who is dying and he. rubbed his hand all over my entire body and. he said i own all of this. and i was absolutely scared didn't know what to do my dad. when the 1st thing she said was bad. and. i said. what happened he said i was right.
11:48 pm
and you're a virgin. because. from you tube you. don't ever think you're. my main nerve in my spine was 3 places and my hips are rotated. my title is director of military plans and personnel policy for the navy. we have specifically trained judge advocates our navy lawyers in our naval criminal investigative service those investigators are all specifically trained in sexual assault any report of a sexual assault is fully investigated in the united states navy they didn't take care of it for a year and a half they were tracking down witnesses they had all these students that are. and
11:49 pm
they can walk them down and say hey you're only hold talking to statement and i didn't and i went through 3 investigators it was like ok i'm giving this case that's what it's sort of all right i'm going this case i'm going to take care of it oh well this is really want to really want to deal with it females would come up to their commanders or their and ceo's and say that they were either sexually assaulted or abused and i don't think it was taken seriously i think a lot of times a cursory investigation was done they were basically told to just suck it up a member bring in a young service member been brutally raped and bring him to see or command and try to make sure that this girl was taken care of properly and this idiot. for crying towards spilt milk the time the credibility of the witness was called into account had the potential victim had she made claims like this in the past there was a lot of witch hunting going on i was ordered to advise
11:50 pm
a victim of her rights for false statement when i knew that she wasn't lying i was asked to bring her in advise her of her rights like a criminal and interrogate her for false statement until i got the truth out of her . what we hear again and again from soldiers who have been raped is that as bad as it was being raped what was as bad if not worse was to receive professional fratelli ation in their chosen career merely because they were raped when you report something. you better be prepared for the repercussions if a man gets accused of rape it's a setup the woman's life i could choose to report it but if i wasn't if you know if they found that what i was saying wasn't to be truthful or than i would be reduced in rank you could lose your rate you could lose rank you could lose your school if
11:51 pm
you file a false report 'd so. do you want to file a report. with the rape everything in the 1st my friend ed to make me a sound leave me report of the 2 different times to my squad leader and he told me that there is nothing he can do about it doesn't have any proof they actually did charge me with adultery. i wasn't married he was they took me before make my hand the tank commander and he says you think this is funny and i said what do you mean his like a solid job like what do you mean and i go see the 3rd girl report rape this week even as they call in cahoots you think is the game.
11:52 pm
11:53 pm
sometimes you need just a little bit more. to go. it was they c of course they. they ordered they ordered a back x. ray instead of that but if you're so make up. the shit they should know you should know what's wrong with me like read my stuff and you'll see that it's my face it's not my back it's not my legs my arms it's my baby need to prove i don't even know what your case is even if i don't even know why waste the gas money the trip anything it was completely a waste of time what a good veteran's day right. it's a perfect way to spend. it. because it was an isolated duty station they were in charge and we were just like cattle.
11:54 pm
it was the 1st time i was drugged and raped i was this room where some of my friends and family had like one or 2 drinks and when laid down it was like instantly i was not feeling well and came to having a pillow over my head in my friend. raping me. that went on repeatedly. most sex offenders are hunters just like any hunter they study their prey they study their movements to study the behaviors they study the environment you have rapists pre on other human being. they they stock them the they wait until the victim is that the most vulnerable point in time to perpetrate their crimes a lot of times a victim as somebody that the suspect is very familiar with and they're very aware
11:55 pm
of what's going on most sex offenders have this hidden persona that nobody ever sees except for the victim therefore when they're caught or if somebody reports people don't tend to believe that because they don't see the typical sex offender if it's an officer it's an officer that has had a bit chilly in the past preyed on and enlisted they would do it once they get away with it and then they think wow this was pretty easy i'm going to try to get in particularly for a savvy perpetrator to work with in a relatively closed system like the military it becomes a prime. a target rich environment for a predator. what
11:56 pm
a was discharged they moved to seattle or things got really bad. i started to lose everything. is home where is. the addiction to selling drugs back in a guy. 40 percent of homeless female veterans have been raped while they were surfing they spit into such depression and it appears that they can't hold jobs they can hold their lives together and they end up on the streets when i 1st saw training as a gemini and i look over and it was like the universe was like. a gal. in my head i was like you are i know there are some special of our.
11:57 pm
wow for hair when we 1st started dating it was hard. the biggest hurdle was not taking p.t.s.d. personally it does get really stressful and sort of said to have never known for you know before and you know it shows sort of in her in her prime now she is anxious and sad a lot of. going to go i'm going to go back to you maybe. if they come. out and i tens if i can for out doing something you know michel be lie check in like oh it's ok trina it's i have appreciative of it you know they may see me really. sad that here's this little 11 year old boy that's watching out for my well being.
11:58 pm
that hurts you know i wanted to go away. you know and it doesn't go away. 30 years ago the berglund wall fell the cold war had essentially come to an end the fall of this cold war symbol was heralded as a new spring of nations and the end of communism decades on what is the legacy of this historic event the promises of the 1989 been fulfilled. today there are good terrorists and bad at it it's the bad terrorists and those in yemen who the united states deems to be a threat the good of those who work in syria the cia and the u.s. military were engaged in covert actions really throughout the world. where they
11:59 pm
were assassinating populist leaders they were backing up right away military juntas funding an army of death squads there's no any more because there's always a small income for a really good this is a profit. time after time corporations repeat the same mantra sustainability it's very important to accelerate transitions to sustainable transport sustainability for man at a more equitable and sustainable world. they claim their production is completely harmless. the big. companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away and this is something this must be done even and.
12:00 am
we didn't. understand it so when. the headlines are not to you mexico holds the 1st funeral or 7 american family brutally slaughtered by a drug cartel but the u.s. already offering to send troops to the country to tackle the rising gang threat also this sad president of france lashes out at night saying it's suffering from brain death adding that europe should not rely on the u.s. anymore to come to its defense and korea apparently unites a survey of south koreans to suggest they would rather see. port the north in the event of a war with japan.
