ah ah it was in the 1950s that our secretary of state john foster, dulles proclaimed. our policy is global ah, we started as a continental empire by clearing out native peoples and other foreign forces. then we became and overseas empire by taking islands in various

parts of the world. and then after the 2nd world war, we became a global empire. now we are playing on the whole billiard ah, the united states has always had a variety of tools to use. and it's a tax on other countries economic sanctions are, are often just the beginning. another thing you like to do is place some military pressure on the countries that you're talking about. and there has to be an effort

to demonize that country and the leader of that country, particularly in our own press. and in the press of that leaders own country. americans loved to think there were intervening in other countries to overthrow evil people. and if that's true, you have to make the person look evil. in 1951 are bins came to power in guatemala, after being elected by the people in washington, the u. s. president received albums with all the usual courtesies of a state visit. but years ago, i wrote a book about how the united states overthrow the government of guatemala, in 1954. ah, the case a lot on law is a great example of american covert action during the period of the 1950s when

covert action was at a pink country last it's legitimate government and hundreds of people lost their lives. mm. ah mm. with see if you decided to do with it on them on the look in there and yeah, the on the yeah. on that for me today, let me pull one, go ahead with you. so i know at

this time, a giant american company, the united food company owned a huge amount of land in guatemala, a much of that land they were not used like was just being held vacant. while many guatemalans are starving because they didn't have land to grow food, i am with the ample gabby i got out of the blood out in my own antibiotic. but both don't keep that. i use that with federal cool. i may go on with no one, no one month, it is a is a way for lemme and get those that a little wrinkles. those will that all of them now. but again,

if that is that normally i get an idea. yeah, of all one of them is, you know, but again, look at me and then also of a i n m. i felt that in a liftgate now i let it be. i love looking up. and in so our president, our benz on the guatemalan government decreed a land reform program. this land reform program would have forced the united food company to sell its unused land, so it could be divided up and given to poor families. the united for the company was very unhappy with this. they went to the united states government. the u. s. government then concluded that the socialist orientation of guatemala was dangerous to the united states were okay, sanjay it though bye or go. i don't where that victory battle and that was the buddha thriller had he

thought, my play up. i think i'm in corroboration . can we're good with whatever. i wonder if this will go ahead. i think, i mean, a month later, civil war broke out. something like 200000 people were killed in that con. like over more than 30 here. with the info. if i didn't know at all going that they can see though and a guy old, but a thought was the lateral. it's them out won't be near one. be near samarnie.

yeah. then yeah, i got his name in the vehicle that come with for michael here. mm. mm i see you, are you scared of the, with the amend my thought cn. cool. did they they did happen in here. i'm look at the engine won't get that. is that course other than that, help them out here now? he said come with those see one bedroom with the other. okay. like to see. oh, okay. so people those photos the damp one of most of them there, but i'm in the 3 stages. so the 1st one is

in the government, the we don't like shows bad faith by bothering an american company. then we convince ourselves that that company is our geopolitical enemy. and then we sell the intervention for as humanitarian intervention. we only do it to help them. we don't do anything for ourselves. in fact, we sacrifice ourselves for the good of others. with blue

american involvement in the overthrow of the government of olivia, the go to hello, mark adolphe was another example that calls on a number of impulses in the american intervention of spirit. ah, man. as mat cecia was near saudi. uh huh. where national not that could be, i know han and looked and it had that much them. i'd only it had danny and nancy, i think what the fuck up as a c a c,

missouri off e. medina, a z. what from minnesota will fi now? american or what i mean and weapon that the net and that the hostile i laugh at the huntsman daily and bad as you would be a little bit. can you be a little boy? ain't what masculine. ivan. net, as you should go up on the lee b. mm we thought of him as a bad leader and we couldn't control. now he looked like he might be about to carry

out our human rights atrocity. so we decided it was time to participate an operation to overthrow gadhafi in that operation. of course he was killed. so we succeeded in the short term goal, get rid of kodachi and deposed that government. but then what happened? we didn't have a plan for what was going to come next. we thought that maybe by magic, some new piece. so regime woody burge, everybody would cooperate. together with

my mistake. i work with navia. i'm really thin or bass and i was always a bit out about burnett. a, a, a, a, a muck, nakeema. we was, i'm up the tax on some finance, alaska in. see michelle, i was on a

a with ah ah,

as the conflict in ukraine continues, so does the information war, the liberal west appears, determined to deny any meaningful debate about the conflict. freedom of expression is now something of the past. and in information iron curtain has descended in how stephen about book won't open up, submit any amount of luck in making feel of them work that now she how about

ah, ah, i don't know, but because he got a bill and i got a guy came up with this. didn't these wrote a famous history of the peloponnesian wars? what he observes is, the war or the conflict does not usually break out with the bigger the smaller country, pushing up and pushing up and finally attacking. that's not what happens. it's usually the bigger country that gets worried and then the tax. and you can see this

pattern through history. they call it sometimes the considered these crap. and it's dangerous for the future because we've, united states is the power that's been used to being on the top and is now being challenged. not no out of no neck. damn it, let me. yeah. what kind of a lot of b? yeah. the had the gym out, but nobody and me shit at the school at the last get here and hobbies. i live alone . i live medina publish, but that allows the my to at the wasn't the majors. yes. i learned a lot of believe me to a to fee for said then let them feet. whoa,

whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. this is really oh, her mom is of the of how funny i like how far leah. but i am woman via nona. beautiful, been the only in the left me a

in with ah, we believe that we are an exceptional nation. this is a phrase you hear a lot in united states. we call it american exceptionalism. it means that we have

a responsibility for the whole world and we need to make rules for the rest of the world. because without us there will be chaos. ah, my name is dr. keanu site and i am a hawaiian political scientists are 8093 in my country was invaded by the united states and we've been under an illegal and prolonged occupation ever since. i've dedicated my life to not only finding out why the united states invaded my country, but also how to bring the occupation to an in hawaii was the long term american project. it began with religious missionaries.

they left from boston in the 1820 to go to hawaii and lived there to spend the rest of their lives. civilizing the poor savages and barbarians as we saw who lived in hawaii. ah. mm hm. this is yolanda palace here in the background. this was the executive monarchs building hawaii by 18. 93 was already a constitutional monarchy. so it had 3 separate branches of government. jackie, this is here. legislative and judicial, which is across the street in leader of the white hawaiian,

actually came to washington to win permission from the president of the united states to overthrow the government of the kingdom of hawaii. he received that permission. he went home, he organized a coup in which the hawaiian kingdom was overthrown. american marines were quickly landed to secure the new white government. and a few years later, hawaii became part of the united states. so this is the place that us marines landed. so this road here is where they marked from honolulu harbor and they occupied this location right here when they invaded my country, the whole kingdom. so we're at right now, this is where camp smith, this is headquarters for the pacific command. and it overlooks per harbor. and pro

harbor is a naval base for the united states, so it falls under the command structure of the pacific command. ah, what you was taken by the united states were invaded in order for the united states to control per harbor. because of hawaii's location, it's central central in the central pacific. so there's a central location that ships could enter hawaii ports after disarming, refurbish, leave home ports, re arm, and go back fighting a battle for coordination of the invasion of wine island by money, by greed. and so he, with the lation,

represents all the things that was happening and what we need to be eating 9 and 930. so what we see rising out of the last out of the ocean are these giant monitors that are asking them to read with documentation. of annexation of documentation that basically saying we're right is what we are. we're the inevitable truth. and there actually, so it's also up again that the pi saying that from the newspapers that we're seeing never ca, we've developed an unusual a point of view of the world because of our location. we have huge oceans and a couple of weak neighbors in mexico and canada. therefore, we've never had to have a foreign policy of clear co operation with others. we've been able because of our

power to impose our will on others. we hear head of hello come on a charter school high school level there. we're going to be visiting a share with you folks doing local. i'm gonna turn it over to you in your class. and so if you 40 feel like we already know, hawaii was, is standing national. what was his nation state and for 50 years you celebrated 1893, when we know that, oh, united states of america illegally over through. now, how did the united states maintain that power, despite having more legal authority on a military, like i said, military threat of force, violence, sprouts, weapons. who are you?

how else are they maintain power in her viking over population? we just talked about how me go spending 2 hours a day in traffic. was all americans are when i yes. ah, we are the evidence o. d. nationalization where the evidence of the war cry. we are not the war crimes ourselves. what. what you already is an independent country, all that was overthrown, any 1093 was our government by the united states, not our country. so our country is still an independent state,

but we are not in control of our independence were occupied. lm's, this book overthrow is an attempt to show the times that america over through foreign governments over a long period in the united states, at least in a relative sense, is declining in power in the world. and we can still remain, and i believe will still remain a potent dominant force in the world. but we need to accept that the conditions of past decades don't exist anymore. and we're not used to this. we're not ready for this psychologically. americans have always been on top. we think of ourselves is always getting our way, and we're entering into a period when that's not going to be so easy. the challenge is,

can we adapt our habit of dominance to a more equal multi polar warren edgar mm. ah ah, is your media a reflection of reality?

in the world transformed what will make you feel safe? isolation for community? are you going the right way? where are you being led somewhere? which direction? what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah ah . with

hello and welcome to cross stock were all things are considered? i'm peter lavelle, as a conflict in ukraine continues. so does the information war, the liberal west appears, determined to deny any meaningful debate about the conflict. freedom of expression is now something of the past and in information iron curtain has descended. ah, cross stocking the information war, i'm joined by my guess on your mer, impel in washington. she is a journalist with the gray zone in nashville. we have scobee now who is she's a political strategist and former presenter on r t. america. and in istanbul we crossed the peppy escobar. he's an independent g, legal analyst, an author specializing in eurasia or cross talk roles and effects. that means you can jump in anytime you want, and i always appreciated. anya, let me go to you. first. we have the 19th anniversary of the illegal invasion of iraq. the immediate was all on board for that, but it's nothing compared to what we're seeing right now. we see k.
