ah, ah ah, 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. why clearing out the 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 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. and 1951. ottomans 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 over through the government of guatemala, in 1954 ah, the case a lot on law. great example of american covert action during the period of the

1950s when covert action was at a pink country lost its legitimate government and hundreds of people lost their lives. mm. ah with mm ah you see if you decide to do with it on that model book in there on the, on the on them even though i let them if we want to go with you. so i know,

ah, at this time a giant american company, the united food company owned a huge amount of land in guatemala. a much of that way and they were not use 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 an antibiotic, but both don't keep the letter. i used that with medical, i may go on with no one, no one month. it is a ways away it or 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, i'm as you know, but again, look at me and then also of a i n m i l. n. lift. 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 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 vic was battling that was the outbound buddha simon thriller,

had he thought of the medical if i think i'm in corroboration, can we're good. we were to put their foot over here. 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 conflict over more than 30 here with the info me. but i didn't know at all going that they can see and a guy old, but a thought was the lateral. it's am i won't be near one be near samarnie.

yeah. then yeah, i got his name in the vehicle that come with me for my go here. mm mm. i see you. are you scared of the, with the amend my thought cn 2, do they they have them in here. i'm look at the engine won't get that. is that course of it then? then pick them up. he now he said come what is in those need one bin with the other. okay. wire to steve. oh okay. so people i was forwarded to a deal with most of them, 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 blue

american involvement in the overthrow of the government of olivia, the gun ago to whom are kodachi was another example that calls on a number of impulses in the american intervention of spirit. ah, man. as mat cc was near saudi a ha, we're national not that could be a no hand and looked and if it had then wish them, i'd only had danny. and now he attained what the fuck up as a c, a. c, missouri off

e. medina. a medina, so we'll see now american or what i mean, then open that the net and that the hostile i left at the houseman, daily and bad with who will be i can be a away woman. he liked even a net, as you should go up on the lee b. mm we thought of him as a bad leader on 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 in that operation. of course he was kill. 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 of my burnett a, a, a, a, a mac nakeema we was, i'm up the tax on some finance, alaska in chelsea, michele tom ah,

with ah, well it shows the wrong one i just don't know. i mean, you world yes to shape out the scene becomes the advocate an engagement. it was the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground.

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 lean finger on you. you are doing it to yourself. we started adopting those techniques when i was station in mosul among them, worse for us positions sleep deprivation. inducing hypothermia. there's already beginning to be evidence that these old techniques are now being used on immigrant 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. the shimmer of effective interrogation

in house the, in the back one pope, and up submit any amount of luck in macon film. work that actually how about ah ah ah, you saw behind the timothy you're on boss. uh huh. and that's in the home slush constant, but of put to mama was an hon sellers, korea who couldn't. i'm for coffee. my love them for thought. oh,

with this didn't these road famous history of the peloponnesian wars, where 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. no, no, no, no, neck dam leisure. matt. 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 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 with with both of you.

i. i can't hear me. oh, her mommy is a fee of how funny i like how far leah. but so i think the minimum and the number we have a mutual bynum law, you'd only in the left mean o n a with

with 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 site and i am

a wine political scientists a 1993. 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 a long term american project. it began with religious missionary. 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. mm hm. this is yolanda palace here in the back row.

this was the executive monarchs building hawaii by 18. 93 was already a constitutional monarchy. so it had 3 separate branches of government executive which was here. legislative and judicial, which is across the street mm. with 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. this road here is where they marked from honolulu harbor and they occupied this location right here when they invaded my country, the hiking them. so we're at right now. this is where capt 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 wine by money. i agree in story with installation. they represent all the things that was happening and what we need to be eating 90 and 930. so what we see rising out of the land out of the ocean are these giant monsters that are asked to read documentation of a documentation that basically saying we're right is what we are.

we're the inevitable truth and they're asking. so it's also again that high saying that from the newspapers that we're seeing, never huh. we've developed an unusual a 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. hello. hello. come on a charter school high school level there. we're going to be visiting a book and you share with you book stewart hoffman kind of turn it over to you on

your class. and so if you 40 feel like we already know, oh i was is standing national. ah, was his nation state, and for 50 years he celebrated 8093. when we know that all the united states of america illegally over through o e. now, how did the united states maintain that power, despite having no legal authority from a military? i said military threat of more violence, perhaps weapons who, how else could they maintain power in hawaii, e, a over population. we just talked about how many guys spending 2 hours a day in traffic was all americans are willing to ha mm hm.

we are the evidence. oh, the nationalization where the evidence of the war cry, we are not the war crimes ourselves what, what are ready is an independent country. all that was overthrown any to 93? was our government by the united states, not our country. so our country is still an independent state, but we're not in control of our independence. we're occupied move. mm. this book over throat 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

ah. ah ah oh, a a a a
