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 the yeah, native peoples and other foreign forces. then we became 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, 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. and 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 over through 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 lost its legitimate government under hundreds of people lost their

lives. mm. ah, [000:00:00;00] with me here for you. it's right to do with it on them on the look in the on the yeah. on that really there let i'm, if we want to go read,

it may use all right. ah, 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 annual battle in an antibiotic, but of both don't keep though that i used that with medical i may go on with no, i'm, i'm no one month and then is a way for lemme and get those the recalls those, well that all of that when the annual but again,

if that is that normally i get an idea. yeah. i'm as you know, but if you look at the end of sales us, okay. i am, i found that 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. rule. kasinsky gave it though by a go, i don't wear a pat vickers battle and it was the outbound buddha film and thrown her head. he

thought at the medical, if i think i meant operation, can we can we would have better put all right. yeah. well 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 vehicle in me. but i didn't know at all going that they like it though an it guy. oh, but it was the latin emma, who i'm be near. won't be near sam amin yet then he, i got his name in the lobby on the thigh. come

with me for a while. go here. mm. i think see if you, are you scared of the, with the amend, my thought sample do they they could have been in this video and look at them. what get that is that cause of it and then pick them up in the 2nd one is in those see one with the other. okay. like to see i will get people those folders, the most of them there, but i mean these 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 american involvement in the overthrow of the government of libya. the gun wrote a whole more kodachi was another example that calls on a number of impulses in the american intervention of spirit. ah man as mat csc was m. nia. saudi ha one, no, not that could be a no hand and looked and if it had them wished them, i'd only ella had any. and now he attained what the fuck up as a c, a c a. m. is that a fee?

medina as he walked in as soon as we're fee, now american and then what's on that the amendment and that the house, the law at the huffman daily and bad with who will be i can be a wayne. 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 an operation to overthrow gadhafi 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 going to come next. we thought that maybe by magic, some new piece. so regime already. burge, everybody with cooperative songs together with michelle,

ah ah, i don't know, but me because he got a phone bill and i got a guy 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 neck dam leisure mat. 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 let them feet. whoa, whoa whoa,

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 site and i am a hawaiian political scientists a 1993 and 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 with 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. it is 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, why 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 whole kingdom. so we're at right now. this is where cap 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 enter hallway and ports after disarming. refurbish, leave home ports, re arm and go back fighting a metaphorical representation of the invasion of why island by money, by greed. and so he,

with relation to represent all the things that was happening in 189 and 930. so what we see rising out of the land out of the ocean are these giant monsters that are asking them to read with documentation of allocation of documentation that basically saying we're right is what we are. we're the inevitable truth. and there actually 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 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 high school level there we're going to be visiting share with you folks doing a local. i'm gonna turn it over to you on your class and so if you 40 feel like we already know, oh i was is standing national on was his nation state and for 50 years he celebrated 8093. 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? 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 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 are not in control of our independence were occupied. lm's, 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,

in with what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race group is on offense. very dramatic development. only personally,
