terms of you know stopping criminal conduct which is the idea of law enforcement act against the people the united states and it's an effort to stop the people the united states who have the ability and historically have created the progressive change in this country and they act to protect the establishment which is the other thing you see in these documents these documents show the f.b.i. over and over again meeting with and partnering with the banks and wall street the very entities that people are rising up to protest against because of the fact that they caused this huge economic crisis and suffering here well put you know i can't help but think i know that this is kind of blown out of proportion but that plot to assassinate members of occupy that was also heavily redacted in the documents but you know it's not even that part of the story which is upsetting that they didn't warn people what's what i think is interesting that the tables were turned if it was an occupied member planning to assassinate someone externally outside of that movement i just can't help but they put the media would tak

to do and the people of always have the ability to organize fight back stop things and if you think about the civil rights era and what people were facing the jim crow apartheid in the united states it would have seemed like it was never going to end and yet people stood up they fought back against it and they brought jim crow apartheid to an end it's always possible and we can always be done and we have. thirty seconds left but why do you think that occupy was such a threat to the establishment i think because occupy speaks the needs of the people the united states and the people of the world who don't want to be oppressed or oppress and subject to the banks and corporations that are causing so much suffering against the people actually do the work and society and people are rising up because they need to because they're going to have to and they will continue to indeed occupy was the first kind of grassroots movement against the institution the system instead of a single issue and that really is the threat thank you so much mara there head in. like you see so far go to our youtube channel on youtube dot com slash breaking the set and subscribe check out our facebook page

of course it's a chilling effect to think that the government is collecting information on the people the united states we're not accused of doing anything wrong and yet that same thing happened the sixty's the seventy's there were the church committee hearings and people rose up and were able to put a brake on it that's the same thing that the people can do now but they have to know about it which is why the p.c. jeff is finally in this for years and is fighting to get the documents out but isn't this is just the same old story like you're saying this happens every time almost how can we really fight this the surveillance great it's getting ever more pervasive they're seizing upon these technologies to just tap and everyone and it really does create the chilling effect that's the underlying problem especially the post nine eleven world kids who are growing up now have never experienced anything else other than this kind of overarching police state and surveillance state i mean how do we break out of this if we now know that we will be. experiencing this and it will be inhibit our activism well

the yemen is unstable, one of these people can get out. republicans in congress will give them hell and use it as political -- one of the reasons some of these people could be released in the united states if congress were not yelling and saying they are dangerous, don't sweat and year our children. they have said that. people -- innocent -- everyone says these are innocent people. congress won't let them into the united states. the stumbling block is yemen is unstable, we don't want people in the united states, if we don't let them in the united states we go to other countries and say if you don't take them and why should we take them in? it is a stepping stone system. >> when more people care and there was more criticism because it was president bush, and it percolated through globally and even domestically that something was deeply wronged and there was a lot of criticism president bush was releasing prisoners. there wasn't the questions we have now from the point of view of seem to be deeply unfavorable to release anyone. the most massive case had to be made for the release of anybody so we ended up with an extraordinary situation where prisoners are held which is deeply unac

the president of nicaragua that he becomes a huge national figure. so there's a lot of people in america who really still have these very expansive views of what the the unitedtates can become. it's not unusual for people to talk about the united states encompassing all of central america, canada, perhaps even south america. this is what people think is going to happen. how do you deal with that situation? well, it's not a coincidence that william walker basically supports slavery. so his idea of how to deal with racial issues is to bring african slaves into tease areas, you know, and some people are talking about how perhaps we should enslave central more thans themselves. so it's a very, it's a strange and unusual situation but, yeah, i think filibustering exists very uneasily with the u.s./mexico war. but by no means does the close of the war p stop americans from trying to get mexican territory. i think the ease or the seeming ease with which the u.s. took half of mexico's territory actually emboldens them to say, sure, we can go get central america, no problem. the very pack. the very back. >> yes, ma'am. two questions are floating in my mind, and they

the vietnam war? >> guest: was a close ally to the united states in the vietnam war that people familiar with the circumstances of the war know that not only did thai thad troops to fight next to the united states and other forces, but thailand also served as a base for many of the aircraft that were flying, bombing missions over the trail, over laos, south vietnam, and we, at the time, built seven air bases and developed a port there as well to facilitate the u.s. effort in the vietnam war and also many american soldiers went on r and r in bangkok and spent time there. in terms of direct support and preriff yal support, they were a close ally of the u.s. and important part of the war effort. >> host: did they have soldiers in vietnam? >> guest: absolutely. that's what i focus on in the book. thailand sent 37,000 solders, half combat and other the support troops to fight in south vietnam as allies to the united states. they also sent smaller naval units and air units, but, still, there were combat units fighting outside of saigon and the province working with the united states, working with the south vietnames

friend wanted to sell the single-family house and had a tenant in the legal unit, if we write up the statement we hand out to all the people that come in, this has happened a couple of times that we put a legality of the unit on known by the owner and agent, or illegal, that was the term we used to use, and the neighbors see that, some of them could be angry and call the building department at the time of sale. they can call them for any reason and do it. we have seen that happen. if the city has a problem, they could make it illegal. the owner has to deal with the rent control board because it is difficult to get a tenant out. it is tricky. it is more difficult to sell a property with a tenant in at in a non-permitted unit. the value -- they may be making money on rent, but john can speak to that. >> [inaudible] especially in the sunset area, a single house -- >> it is a big issue. it is a policy issue. we have up to tens of thousands of these units. they serve an important function. they provide housing. the board provides moderate- income housing. very few of them never been meet the minimum standards for have the abili

we came to terms with the people's republic of china principally because our rapprochement with china took away the dramatic instability in asia that the conflict between the united states and the people's republic of china had brought not only to our two countries, but to our allies. so similarly we argue if the united states could come to terms with the islamic republic of iran, iran is not going to accept -- the islamic republic is not going to accept israel's current political order and ongoing indeterminant occupation of palestinians. it's not going to accept that. but china has not accepted taiwan either. what we argue is that if the united states and the islamic republic could come to terms and could strategically align with each other, we could, in a sense, like china and the united states bracket issues where we disagree and resolve, commit to look at these issues, discuss these issues and eventually perhaps, perhaps to resolve these issues nonviolently. that's the deal we made with china over taiwan, and that has essentially worked for everybody. the idea that somehow we can coerce and force the islamic republic to accept israel is a fool's errand. not

support of the majority of the people in egypt now there is only one party that's actually will decide what's happening in egypt and that's the people of egypt neither the united states nor morsi himself have much say in what's happening today the people of egypt who are back in the streets that. we saw the fate of the regime today. and alongside the rest which is escalating in egypt portside a local court has sentenced twenty one people to death for their role in football riots last year that left seventy four people dead relatives of the defendants attempted to storm the local prison following the verdict and security officials are among those on trial the clashes in february twenty twelve between funds of a local club and the khyber based team are considered to be the worst football disaster in the country's history the violence sparked further unrest in cairo resulting in sixteen more depp's or the death sentences require approval from the ground to move with the verdicts for the remaining fifty two defendants due in march. egypt was one of the first states in the arab world as the us was said to have nudged towards democracy through a revolt president oba

invaded iraq sixty nine percent of the people united states believed that they were a pretty operational ties between al qaeda and iraq and that saddam hussein had something to do with nine eleven it was a masterful propaganda performance on the part of the united states on the part of the u.k. now how did they do that well one of the ways was they tortured this one prisoner a levy sent it to egypt where his flight he confessed that he sent people from al qaeda up to say that it was shane's iraq to receive instruction in explosives all right right it's all right rather murky so i think there's been some people in the past that have said that invading iraq for nine eleven is like invading mexico for the bombing of cole harbor john kerry i go there the man we're talking about here he he essentially when he comes out with this information about waterboarding and so on and so forth i suppose i should ask you where is the line between whistle blowing and that of leaking sensitive information is certainly seems a bit blurry. well kiriakou did not leak any sensitive information george bush did

the people in the u.k. the people of greece the people of europe the people of the united states are suffering through now are they being they're being forced to live on the crumbs it's all about corralling the population into zones where all civil liberties are deprived and the consequences of austerity which is to say extinction and genocide are written into law so the chief economist here is a libya blond charred and he says forecasts are significantly underestimated the increase in unemployment and the decline in domestic demand associated with fiscal consolidation so again here we look at the population and all the markets all the mainstream financial press what they do is they look for every single word the chief economist of these banks and the central banks and the people advising george job's board. what they have to say about what what we should do with the economy and yet they totally obviously don't know what they're doing they're just pulling it out of a magic bag of tricks they they don't know and it's a huge wealth transfer and they use the language of economics and finance to bamboozle mainstr
