ah ah, it was in the 1950s that our secretary of state john foster dulles proclaimed our policy, his global ah, we started as a continental empire by clearing out b native peoples and other foreign forces. then we became an 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 bill your time. ah, the united states has always had a variety of tools to use in it's a tax on other countries economic sanctions are, are often just a 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 of law is a great example of american covert action. during the period of the 1950s, when covert action was at a pink country lost its legitimate government under hundreds of people lost their

lives. mm. ah, [000:00:00;00] with you see a for you is, are you going to do with it on them? on the look in there and yeah, the on the yeah. on that that really there but i'm, if we want to go read it, may you?

so i know at this time a giant american company, the united food company owned a huge amount of land in guatemala. a that way and 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 battle in wrong. i mean, we are both, don't keep that. i you that with better. okay, let me go on now i'm, i'm no one month and then it's a, it's a way for lemme and get those little wrinkles those. well,

that all of them now. but again, if that is i only, i get out yet. yeah. i'm as you know, but if you look at the data of sales us, uh, in my field, but in a lift gate, now i let it, let it be. i love looking up in the, in so our president, our benz on the guatemalan government decreed a land reform program. this land reform program would have forced the united fruit 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 know where that vic was battling and that was the

outbound luna philanthropy had he thought my play up. i think i meant carol roberts can we can we were to put their foot over here. i wonder if this will go ahead with that? i think, i mean, a month later civil war broke out. something like 200000 people were killed in that conflict over more than 30 here with the info me. but i didn't know at all going that they like it though an it guy old. but a thought was the latin. it's am, i won't be near one be now samarnie. yeah. then yeah, i got his name in the yeah. let me check on that. come

with me for my go here. mm. i see you are you scared of the with the amanda, my thought cn full day they they have to be in here. i'm gonna look at the end of what it is that course of it can help them out. he'll be safe. come with those see one bedroom with the other. okay. like to see. oh okay. so people i last spoke with one of my son there,

but i'm in no hurry speed. 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 american involvement in the overthrow of the government of libya, the governor, to whom our kodachi was another example that calls on a number of impulses in the american intervention of spirit. ah, man. as mac cmc was near saudi. huh. one, no, not that could be a no hand unlocked. and if it had been with them, i'd only ella had danny and nancy a thing. well, it's difficult. as a c,

a c m as that ought fi medina, the hussey minnesota will fi now american and then what on that amendment and that the house the law at the huffman daily and bad. sure. who the who will be i can you be a away? well, mostly like either of net position up on the lead be we thought of him as a bad leader or one 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 in an operation to overthrow gadhafi. and in that operation, of course he was kill. so we need it in the short term goal. get rid of gadhafi, depose that government. but then what happened? we didn't have a plan for what was gonna come next. we thought that maybe by magic, some new piece. so regime already. burge, everybody with cooperative things. together with

michelle i a with media, i'm within obeyed center because it was a bit out of my burnett and with a, a mobile number. i was i'm up for some finance and asked to be a new customer joe. ah.

okay. b ah, b a a so called enhance interrogation techniques used by the u. s. officials were basically designed as techniques to break down the human mind. if you force a human being to stay in a certain position, won't take very long to the pain involved to become absolutely excruciating. but nobody slain a finger on you. you are doing it to yourself. and we started adopting those

techniques. i was station and mosul among them were stress positions, sleep deprivation. i do see type of thermo is already beginning to be evidence that these old techniques are now being used on immigrant and children, whatever you do or war comes home. nobody has been held accountable for the torture that happened in the past. in the moral authority, the made america leader sacrifice a shimmer of effective interrogation in how steven monk won't open up, submit any amount of lemon law making film work that actually ha ah,

what ah ah ah, i don't know. but because he got a phone bill on the got a game with this data. 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, the united states is the power that's been used to being on the top and is now being challenged. not no, out of no net that leisure mat. let me. yeah. what kind of a lot of b lee had the jim math, but nobody and any shit at the school at the last get here and hardy's, i live alone. i love 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 yet them feet. whoa whoa whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. this is really oh, mom is of the of how funny i like a year. but i am woman of the indiana. now murphy,

her beautiful. been the only in the last mean. he's noon 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. young and i am a hawaiian political scientists for 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 it 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, lived in hawaii. 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 these 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 haunting them. 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 installation represents all the things that was happening and willing to meet 1819 and 930. so what we see rising out of the last out of the ocean are the giant monsters that are asked 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 high saying that from the newspapers that was being cleaned, 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 locally here, head of hello come on a charter school. i school level there. we're going to be visiting both share with you books doing a local, i'm gonna turn it over to you in your class for land. so $843.00 like we already know. oh i was. is standing national. i was his nation state, and for 50 years he celebrated 1893. when we know that, oh, the united states of america illegally overthrew. now, how did the united states maintain that power,

despite having more legal authority on a military? like i said, military, the threat of force, violence, sprouts, weapons. who are you? how else are they maintain power in hawaii, e over population. we just talked about how many guys spending 2 hours a day in traffic was all americans with ha, yes. ah we are the evidence. oh, the nationalization where the evidence of the war cry, we are not the war crimes ourselves. what. what you are ready 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 were not in control of our independence were occupied. bmw 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

so called enhanced interrogation techniques used by the u. s. officials were basically designed as techniques to break down the human mind. if you force a human being to stay in a certain position doesn't take very long to the pain involved to become absolutely excruciating, but nobody's lane finger on you. you are doing it to yourself. we started adopting those techniques when i was station in mosul. among them were stress, possession, sleep deprivation. inducing hypothermia is already beginning to be evidence that these old techniques are now being used on immigrants and children, whatever you do or more comes home. nobody has been held accountable for the torture that happened in the past and the moral authority, the made america leader sucker fudge. of the shimmer of effective interrogation.
