11:44 am
. they felt like they were alive. that's most important thing because life is our one time gift. and you have to live it to the best of your ability. and people were just happy that they were alive. they were helping each other. there may or may, we should all be mayor, may we should all be angry because of what's going on right. can't understand united states history and spend the role that slavery plate is already very formal institution. at a time, united states became a nation. it actually find the nation, the rise of capitalism clearly on the backs of flight. and the slave down if you
11:45 am
had investigated lynching said a great extent. you can't believe that really, your country and country still stands in brick. i'm from the south. everybody know, know what they're saying. to some extent, i would argue that we're still fighting the civil war. in the south 2100 makes no sense. you know, board is under a tease. and you fresh as a merge. we don't have a terribly, we don't to look back. see, the whole world needs to take action to be ready. people are judgment, common crisis with we can do better, we should be better. everyone is contributing each in their own way. but we also
11:46 am
know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is great. the response has been met. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together with it's an open secret, the private military companies have been playing a role in arm conflicts. world wide. u. s. government doesn't track the number of contractors and uses in places iraq or afghanistan, the united states army. and the military in general is so reliance on the private sector. i would call that dependency, but we don't know who's the on the ground presence of these companies overseas. we just don't out west and private military companies can in their turn use so called subcontractors from countries with trouble pass. oh, the chances i quite good that they had also been child diligence. i says, i was
11:47 am
a child, as well as my job professional job is, is with the whole wouldn't feel good if i said that looked with no food, no minimum own. if you want to which way to be merciless killing machines, now they fight and die in other people's was people carol lot, when a dead soldier or dead marine shows up in this country and we start asking yourself, why did they die? why, what would a fighting for to nobody bothers down to about the contractors when we arrived in the city of water, shallow god, which is in new craney,
11:48 am
which is left calling now called low hans that to where my parents are buried. and when we arrived there, we are of 1st of all, we have no place to their day. we rented a room and the people, the local people never seen anyone like that before. came to us and proposed to help us in any way they could list food with books for my brother. and i had never rented a russian book before and they were very friendly and kind hearted. this is one thing that i experience right from the very 1st day and all through my 65 years here in this country. and i experienced this every day, even now. another thing i noticed at that time there was no advertisement,
11:49 am
no commercials anywhere. there are no, there was only one thing i noticed on the par on the side of a hope. huge building on brick. there was assigned in russian which red ice cream is a very delicious and healthy food. what kind of ice cream the did mention this to what her food is. it struck me. you mean is i remember that the for right from the 1st 1st day that we arrived in that city. i'll 21 thing when my brother and i started setting and moscow that was a 9 king 55. how were we weren't hungry? we weren't starving. but i had, we never turned down any thing that was offered to us to eat her or to drink. and we, i remember one thing we're living in the dormitory, out of the foreign language institute. hell not far from red square. and there we
11:50 am
could afford on our meager stipend, which is kind of a scholarship that we could, we could buy black caviar is it was in store just to see a little bit a higher price than the other food products. but that's when we 1st tasted black caviar. never had the black cavern, canada at all. never. not even rick. how would you like to have your name changed by someone in a split 2nd, a new name, not of your own choosing. well, that is exactly what happened to george and his brother. now, they had a russian identity that was in brazil of god. in 1952 within i think was in 2 weeks we had to report to the local police station that was called the militia. in salvage, in that time,
11:51 am
you go to the passport department and ask for them to fill out on the basis of what, what kind of document you have. so my brother and i got on boarding tree carne traveled to the other part of what a shallow grove and the ge, what do you want boys and little window in door. just know who are speaking in russian, where we're shy, because now we couldn't speak very well. and his passport console and what's your name? george is wyatt. george. i don't understand anybody mile. to a hair's, here's my birth certificate to written george watts. that's not a rush name. you're gonna be in regardings as make no difference to me than my brother is. what's your name is karl mark after the war against
11:52 am
nancy. germany, colonel. no, that's not a rush name. you're going to be kill. so that's with the lady. at the passport, this just seems like that a click of the finger gave me one name, my brother, another name. that's it. the fact that george was a native speaker of canadian english would be a priceless skill for a young man coming from the working class. george, his language skills would be the determining factor for the rest of his life. when i came to the soviet union, i finally realized that my knowledge of english, my pronunciation, of english knowledge of english grammar structure. and phonetics was actually a moon. and then we borrow some money from our neighbors to go to leningrad foreign language institute, andrew, we got a reply from her leningrad. he had
11:53 am
a few pasture champs. you'll be given accommodations as a dormitory, locals on it. and i was here in lang grad at a place called institute of noble ladies, which was later called the ear famous headquarters of the communist party when the revolution started. but anyway, when my brother and i went there, replied we, we finally managed to pass the interest exams were given. accommodations in the dormitory, we began studying everything seemed to be going go good then right after the new year we got called out to the principal, really in russia it's called the director directors lady together with our front petition and says, you boy, you 2 boys from canada will have to change your pronunciation of what?
