fascinating to me, i think partially -- a shift in my own perception from working on things like "the hummingbird'saughter" and being deeply embroiled in the indigenous world in mexico as well and realizing that there's a kind of an absolute faith that is based on experience rather than church. they feel that they see god everywhere in every way and that god les them perhapbecause they have to. but you think of someone who is despised at home and they come here and are despised here as well, sometimes to their great shock. so a lot of those folks come here thinking, "i'm going there to serve them. i'm going there to help. i'm going there to work hard." and they're shocked that they're hated. where else do you turn? you can't just absorb and swallow the belief that you're nothing. that you don't have right to your place on this earth and that you know, you are completely abandoned in the universe. and so they cling to god. you know, you need someone to hold on to. >> well, you refer often, or frequently to miracles, to grace. well, i'm wondering where you are in this journey. i mean, i know that you

in fact your drones that are mimicking the hummingbird and different types of birds, dragonfly drones. there are drones the soldiers used to put in their backpacks and could launch them individually. these drones go out and survey the terrain before the soldiers go, and then there are the larger drones, the size of a small airplane, the reaper and predator drones. those are the ones that are being used in these legal attacks. and they are made by a company called general atomics based in southern california. then there are very big surveillance drones like the ones called the global hawk that are the size of a commercial airplane. these can fly at 60,000 feet altitude and give you the side of entire city at once. so there are all kinds of drones. most of them are surveillance drones, but the larger surveillance drone can easily be equipped to be lethal drones as well. so, who is piloting these drones? well, some of you in this audience actually have been protesting at the hancock air force base which is one of the places where drones are being piloted. another places outside of las ve
