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 bill. your time with 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 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 k. so autumn 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 mm. with see if you decide to do with it on that model book in there. and yeah, the on the yeah. on that that, i mean to do i let i'm if we want to go with you. so i know

at this time a giant american company, the united food company owned a huge amount of land in guatemala. ah, with much of that money 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 blood out in a long antibiotic. but both don't keep though that i, you that with federal cool, i may go on with now with us here. no one month and then it's a,

it's a way for lemme and get those the recalls those. well that all of them and you know, what? again, if that is that, or you only, i get an idea. yeah. i'm as you know, but if you look at the end of sales us, uh, i found that in a lift gate, now i 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 rule. cuz this though, bye or go. i don't where records that i and that

was the outbound luna philanthropy a medical if i think i'm in operation, 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 and it 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 me for my go here. mm. so please see if you scared enough with the amend my thought cn full day. they may have been in this video and look at the end of what it is that course other than than help them out. he'll be safe. come what isn't those see one the axis here, the okay. wire to steve. oh okay. so vehicle i was forwarded to

a deal with my son there, but i'm in no hurry speed. so the 1st one is with 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 are kodachi, was another example that calls on a number of impulses in the american intervention of spirit with a man as mat cecia was near saudi. huh. well no, not that could be a no hand and looked and if it had been with them, i'd only a laugh had any. and now he a thing. well yes, defeat the fuck up as a c a c,

a. missouri off the medina as he was in a service fee, now a mac and then what on that amendment, and that the house, the law at the housman daily. and that that would be a little bit. can you be willing to limit the for both had the had a wayne what monthly, like even a net, as you should go up on the libby. 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 succeeded in the short term goal. get rid of could abi 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, sol regime already, burge, everybody would cooperate together with

michelle i ah, what good? oh, thank you so much. nivia, i'm really thin or bass and i was always a bit out of my burnett. i'm with the something today. ah. oh. a mac number mobile, alabama la we was. i'm up with extra finance. alaska. anyone's puzzles, fi,

the house, the in the back one popping up somebody a model lesson, make one feel of them work that actually how about ah, with the sober hunt, timothy you're on boss, uh huh. and that feel comes flush. can somebody put them up resentment? ansolaski, maria? couldn't i'm for coffee. my love them for hut or couldn't they, annette? could it be money? hoping not my lad. if it wasn't i do. we are newton myself, a cup of coffee bird. let himself fall about my mom was in, i had to between them. well, my mom shall they,

the state of 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 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 neck. dam leisure mat. let me. yeah. what kind of a, how to be? yeah. we 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 let them feet. whoa whoa whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. whoa. i do i can hear me. oh,

a yeah. but i think a number, if you missed a full but no more, you know in the last mean. ah, a 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 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 thought, lived in hawaii. ah, 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. jackie,

this is here. legislative and judicial, which is across the street in 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. so this road here is where they marked from honolulu harbor

and they occupied this location right here when they invaded my country, the hosting building. 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 hawaiian ports after disarming. refurbish, leave home ports, re arm and go back fighting a battle for who it was in leisure of wine island by money, by greed. and so he, with installation represents all the things that was happening and what we need to mean 1819 and 930 to what we see rising out of the last out of the ocean are these 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 their absence was also 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 in 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 what we hear of hello come on, a charter school, high school level there we're going to be visiting 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 on was his nation state,

and for 50 years he celebrated 18. 93. 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? i said military threat of force violence, perhaps weapons. who are you? how else are they maintain power in hawaii? or population, we just talked about how many guys spending 2 hours a day in traffic was all americans are 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 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. move. mm. 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

ah. ah, the special operation might be a new trade. however, the war is against the west in january and against wold order, which we have for this. and when the special operation and why are going to change in the future of ukraine, the doses, way the international relations are posted. we the traditional financial system closed. and the way actually, the country's down is russia 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 lean finger on you. you are doing it to yourself. we started adopting those techniques when i was stationed 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 to home, nobody has been held accountable for the torture that happened in the past. and the moral authority, the made america leader sacrifice the shimmer of effective interrogation. ah,

ah, ah, i mean, ah, i'm option retention. you're watching going on the ground, the team, and i will be back soon with a brand new look, despite nato nation in the you. censorship, but until then we'll be showing some of your favorite shows of the season so far. time after attaching, you're watching a special edition of going underground as today because sunny by ministry, run con is scheduled to pay a visit to russia.
