these are apparently turbulent times and it behooves all of us to try to understand reality instead of succumbed to mythology and see what role we comply in the delivery of bureaucratic process we're supposed to aspire to and our country every society has concentration of our summer have such pronounced fashion week all dictatorships others haven't and symbolic fashion and you we don't understand it properly can stretch of power in this country schools in the sovereignty the people filtered through a gym at a mechanism for legislators and executive agencies and the courts and surrounded by a vibrant city since an institutional circle trade unions cooperatives and universities

have armando group's sole rights civil liberties groups homeowner association management there were two have sufficient free it was beach sufficient recognition that all sounds receives from the sun and then the workers eventually and sufficient conference in city services and in his or her capability and willingness to participate in that stream of democratic initiatives that result in levels of justice that replicate themselves and fulfill higher standards of living and human possibility now if we don't do that if each of us full terms

for each of us becomes discouraged or demoralized or intimidated or for each of us is so struggling to make it through the day because of poverty or illness or other problems of obstruct citizenship democracy fault if you go through a week without doing anything as a service you're weakening our democracy's you go through a year without doing anything your weekend an even more you're allowing power to be concentrated in fewer and fewer hands so that if you make the decisions for them mary and one knows you are represented large global corporations and the doctrine of relentless partial list travels the civil society health safety democratic processes concern for the barber

recognition austerity's rights china's blistering of childhoods ball another colors of the civil and just society or trampled by commercialism running mr recent been going on for thousands of years every major religion has warned its people to not give too much part of the profiteering or merchant and because it's so singularly motivated so it's a shame it's called reed that alliance against other values that are far more important in a chair boy in furthering just society commerce is in the market forced to do it in the service is not supposed to be our masters

corporations and outsource the armrest designed to be our servants which is why we created them through our government we chartered through our government are charred and we live in a period when there's a clear distinction to be made between small business and gigantic small business simply does not have the leverage of abuse the multinational drug companies multinational tobacco companies more time timber companies will tie national oil company will tie national petrochemical companies don't have that ability trying to sell some products and services on the corner of main street announced that when corporations were first chartered in their modern form of

massachusetts nearly eighteen hundred they're chartered by the legislature right now they're chartered by the states and fifties degas it's fascinating to know how no matter or quality education we went through elementary high school college grad school and our attention to the corporate phenomenon is shockingly minimal mostly both us and today who creates corporations they would say investors and investors don't create corporate state government's charter corporate investors plans the charter was killed as an instrument of legitimacy that allowed investors to band together to limit their liability to the mai mai have invested in a company or produced textiles in the old days in massachusetts for example but gradually they began

their journal usually wear short time it was a ten year term renault want to pay again last year or so new restrictions of the charter on these corporations or eliminate their a laminated and state constitutions in the nineteenth century which are very rigorous and trying to control what justice louis brandeis in the nineteen thirties once called potential frankenstein's their meds every decade corporations began to amass more privileges they're individually movies could never a nurse does it have the kind of power and they were human beings you can create your own parent corporations

a great subsidiaries all the world i could be a thousand places all the world they can shift and transfer vertically horizontal it there are pointy they can go to temporary bankruptcy keep paying the ceo's huge salaries and your right of their trade agreements or their credit or injured people of klein's there's all kinds of flexibility corporations are quite different than you and may yet will allow the courts and legislatures not only to provide them with these privileges in a minute but actually they give them all but one right under the constitution that we have as ruby and out of the fifty men the only right that the corporation now does not have the authority to vote as a privilege against self incrimination the corporation it's an

artificial legal and it's a contrivance as chief justice marsha once call and a wild west they're called los solos by how can you know if we have robots in our society and we gave them all that kind of power they were human beings a because it looked a little bit like us another of the power that they had arms legs would we allow them to vote would we allow them to influence elections would we allow them to have that level of participation in politics corporations are busy canal well what are they doing in politics they're not human beings only human beings should be allowed under our constitution to participate in the political process the

pain i'm pleased to say that the mainstream business magazine our country businessweek comes out weekly got all kinds of pages of advertisements from big corporations that serve bread and water our cover story and two but a year ago or two years ago asking whether corporations have too much power and they had seven pages inside the magazine say yes and as an american corporations have too much control over their lives and seventy two percent said yes and then they wrote an editorial at the end of the magazine which had the following phrase that pervade quote corporations should get out of politics the

pay go businessweek magazine had the courage to do an article on its cover and to make a recommendation like that which is clearly against its own commercial interests why don't the republican and democratic parties the pain because their bank commercial or any democracy to maintain its integrity has to have songs that are off limits to the sign that says for sale elections are a good start they should not be for sale rental collection should be publicly funded completely accusers

was be decided by votes period that by dollars politicians therefore should not be for sale government should not be for sale thomas jefferson said the function of representative governments to counteract all the excesses of the monied interests and call those are corporate interests to recall the moneyed interests in both childhood in america should never be for sale the commercialization of childhood is a tragedy in our society now worth one hundred and forty billion dollars a year commercial harvesters preyed on these children directly separating him from their parents were often away community back and forth trying to make ends meet and the biggest most

powerful wealthiest economy in the world where only one breadwinner sure enough to support a family wal mart you get support one person and wal marts or what donald's or birthday or the other junk food gaines ah ask yourself what other zones should be off limits of the four sales of austerity which universities and colleges the pain about our human genes of what the genetic inheritance of the world vision of a commercialized

companies like the signal that the goal of the biotechnology industry is to transform the genetic inheritance of our planet into commercial corporate property or near monopoly they already have thirty six hundred patents on human gene sequences that the patent office has issued flora fauna everything plants animals humans so they can actually start engineering them for their short range political and commercial prospects about our media what a star newspaper find first amendment protection but we on the public airways legally not metaphorically

it's a common law on other people in this country are our real estate agent is the federal communications commission and what is it do it gives away licenses to radio tv stations and the site twenty four hours a day who gets on and who doesn't and doesn't pay as any radical licenses for it one of the biggest giveaway is a public resource ministry the world but what we do about this but first we have to open our eyes and your ears and i went through three years a law school we never had a discussion on why the public commonwealth of the public lands in the public airwaves and billions of dollars of taxpayer research and development medicine and other areas it's given away literally given away free or at bargain basement prices until a few years ago

a two hundred and eighty foot spruce tree and the tongass national forest which you own was given away for the price of a cheeseburger to the tamarins maybe our story cheeseburgers what makes this corporate entities of going through a critical educational process i went through all those years i read the moderators of the twentieth century and i had a professor of politics you talked about corporate power took him a long time to get tenure because he actually thought that politics should include a study of corporate power this was considered not quite proper but there is almost no discussion

of the role of the giant corporation and the collision course it's been on with a democratic society even our forebears repeatedly warned about too much corporate power undermining our democracy getting into our very hats to accept that as jefferson ms madison it's a gram line with woodrow wilson as heroes of our as franklin delano roosevelt and his famous message to congress regarding the tempering national economic commission in the late nineteen thirties set that way in and economic interests become so powerful that it controls our government he said there is fascism he's

been it's easy to figure out how how we grew up poor is ask ourselves if our requests look at each other you make certain aesthetic conclusions about each other's lot to define standards of beauty and our country is that are in her culture or is it a cosmetic companies and the factions schemed at it it is not defined in terms of the human traits of compassion consideration kindness went not to find work so we go through life sizing each other up in ways that require us to spend about a hundred billion dollars and beauty aids and diabetes and plastic surgery

and duties to find this way because it's been commercialized and because if it's going to make a proper ninety nine percent of people cannot reflect the model of standard superior and so they strain to reach it and julie begins to her begins to make people anxious to make people hate themselves especially under a you know formative years but something's been has been completely demolished something that affects whether people get jobs or not something that makes people almost psychotic feeling suicidal at times slashing rates eighteen themselves starving themselves in a land that one just look at your own sense of what you all some us that right now what you know you go through all your

personal property in your real property versus keep going keep going to get down the paper clips how many of you would say i'm also part owner one third american public plan and the public airwaves and the public works and the public are indeed for starters maybe your parents or part owner and the biggest capital poem history of the world five trillion dollars of labor tension which only about a third of the shares and in europe stock but they don't control the sweaty chewing ownership of the property of the sky and the control of property is one of the ways corporations dominate us they say so what you own five trillion dollars of pension minds will make sure the banks

and insurance companies controlling pest control what shares control what coding of those years sorry on a third of america with all gold and silver and more opium and timber grazing oil and gas offshore all kinds awhile but here we've got at seventy two law that allows us to go on your land feingold silver lead you name it documented to the department of interior which is usually headed by ex corporate executives and we will buy that golden at sober for five dollars and a canadian companies foreign companies to do that of canadian gold company got nine pages about ten billion dollars of gold discovered in nevada on federal land they got it for less than thirty thousand and all the sales all profits stay

with no share of royalties no royalties were the only country in the world that gives away its hard rock minerals that as a well it doesn't bolivia doesn't nigeria doesn't russia doesn't but the usaid us and we don't even discuss it is named part of a political campaign except for the green part again the pain you look at the one of the way to get at or that was the definition of freedom when you look at the very eclectic all you know like the program you know like giving is going on which is political universe it is so wait a minute it's nice to have access but i also want to have a voice when

other people lose country claims some of those hours back charge the radio and tv stations a decent read is the money so we can have our own reporters producers studios programmers with our own radio tv stations and our own network we give it away and we don't even discuss it and we don't realize that we've given it away it's just the way we grow up corporate ask yourself in this gymnasium how many of you have ever thought of the following imaginative flying join our growing up corporate controls are very imagination the controls are very expectation love there are fifteen million college graduate students we are putting communities how that's double the population of sweet you know i have one weekly

thirty minute over the air television programs devoted to what's going on campus is a sports and a lot other things going on campus wonderful things in the humanities social sciences engineering science students creating solar homes that are now on the mall in washington students developing refined when mills pasadena health act students creating arts crafts nothing nothing we have over a hundred and fifty cable channels accessible areas the sports re run sham the bracelet a necklace sales channels the playboy channel the cartoon show the movie or iran can't we even have a channel commandant all devoted to chimpanzees dressed up in are close friends in a row

but there's no channel for civic activity so we can learn from one another over the country about people are approving their communities and all kinds of waves not one channel and guess who gives the cable companies their monopoly license week and that means we can condition or what if we don't think about what we own so that we can start talking about controlling what we all not a very radical doctor and we don't even apply your imagination to you corporations combat us a little cafe suppose they come let us not as in orwell's nineteen eighty four fortunately we have a strong enough democracy where we can top that approach rubber dominic business interests and our country had slaves for over two hundred years the cotton

plantations and sour they had sweatshops of unimaginable cruelty before the labor standards laws were passed before slavery was abolished they are quite capable of not recognizing boundaries unless the rule of law and countervailing civic labor and other entrants required notice if you will the brave new world version a corporate culture that's what's on the horizon the brave new world almost literally as huxley pointed out the frontiers of the drug culture that were spending twenty twenty five billion dollars deal with heroin cocaine and marijuana we're spending a

hundred and seventy even responding to a massively over promoted and over prescribe pharmaceutical drug culture that is taking over a hundred and fifty thousand lives a year number two st roch blues over prescribing of a virus reducing resistance that's over a hundred thousand want to write it every little aberration of children today is documented to be a disease by the pediatric subsidiaries of the struggle ritalin is vastly over preschool are and so are many other drugs or pumpkin into our children when they go to school now they pass a little

dispensary to pick up their pelts it's running amok we spent fifty billion on madison's the nineteen nineties rates sole writer and sixty billion now and look at the ads apart than a day after day hugely overpriced one minute we have the highest prices for medicines in the world by our drug companies who sell all the world why are they charging americans the most because we don't have a control we give them tax credit these drug company we give them the results of all kinds of drugs that the taxpayer has funded a ct tax all new name at three quarters of a cancer drugs they bought by the taxpayers to and i at a university research we get to offer a with the royal teens and they still are forcing elderly people which is the terrain medicine vote for starters

be analyzing a democracy means that you start with a plain piece of paper you study politics and government like i study fossils and governor is ridiculous ridiculous estrangement from reality was that when all the partisan government because we studied want to skew and walk and hobbes and the federalist papers and some reason scholars would you study it this way so how do you determine the level of democracy and any jurisdiction or solace or two ranked the fifty states in terms of her level of democracy what your criteria

so ness to start a more democratic small d then intercepting you'd probably say sure but how would you judge other than just a little local pride wont be the yardstick to be a diversified economy would have be the president so strong trade unions wouldn't be a vigorous attorney general that implies a lot of corporate crime fraud and abuse for change would it be vibrant newspapers wouldn't be active and arouse citizens called students at universities to take seriously that they are not citizens and waiting their citizens know as their forebears demonstrated the sixties seventies on civil rights and the vietnam war and the environment you look at the legislature the

comparison between legislatures you look at the access to the courts the comparison between judges you look at what laws there are no books to protect consumers are not there to protect children in order to see the variations between the states would you check and see whether miss if we had the mission of referenda recall as oregon does which it doesn't and you start to get the grants with reality because democracy unexamined becomes a symbol that transforms itself into a controlling prices that may cue complacent because you're in a democracy the birds those poor people around the world ah we'll take it to the next level there is always in our country and strategies in our country that are utterly dictatorial ripley utterly dictatorial

if a teenager who is black and a teenager who hasn't quite committed the same crime with no prior record the data show that the black teenager as a five to six times greater chance less democracy you think being in prison again raped by another male prisoner and it's going on all over the country that are the senate's an award and snot and though to having a buyer and the higher your prisoners it's a democratic society that the hero there's all american companies ever say no power other than to sell they'll control what they all the managers and the board of directors do in you know in a

massive main event on the last few years the biggest grand larceny in history the world millions of americans have lost trillions the ballot because they trust it not just because they trusted the board of directors any accounting firms and the state flag are regulatory agencies and their stock brokers and the rating agencies and the investment bankers they're really workers but because they have no choice but to trust them because they have no power to do anything about it if they didn't trust they get out the purse lot of millions of people not have their retirement savings shatter losing fifty seventy eighty percent ninety percent wages power's translated into

income but in their pension plans know bought by corporate crooks who took away hundreds of millions of dollars for themselves ortiz a very nice compensation business we call the corporate crime whether it's all over the papers and on television and in the magazines and yet not one quote good corporate loss whether at enron you name it no one has been sent to jail yet that democracy where you could forge a five hundred l a check go into wal mart by some get caught you go to jail you steal a few billion dollars here and a few billion dollars there in uganda well corporal offered the venue against prosecutors they're

overburdened and don't have a number to even began cracking down on corporate crime they got a few of these guys in handcuffs you know for publicity in the last few weeks but that's only if you are just a part of their lawyers they don't have a price views about the fbi investigate the fbi is now into drugs in the war in terror is not corporate crime about the crime of violating health and safety of people growing up corporate names that we let corporations to find violence forest and therefore exclude the violence that they produce quite naturally think of the difference since september eleventh when three thousand americans and foreign nationals were massive

two hundred thousand americans and some non americans that it just four categories occupational hazards air pollution medical malpractice now corrections most of them provided by reasonably attentive society those figures come from osha epa harvard school of public health and the national archives is a wildly upset about what did your voice come on tv ads if osama bin ladin is not responsible for these two hundred thousand that's he didn't do so well the

pain says nike our economy in real terms as grown over twenty times and production work out that's a very conservative us some people say it's thirty two that means for everybody misconduct economy is producing twenty to thirty times more in goods or service but it didn't it on why this only people caught or they reported it on it poverty today plenty of unemployment there are plenty of consumer directed are plenty of people have to go bankrupt because two members of the family can make ends meet after working forty or fifty are easy to wait is there something wrong with a society that cannot distributes wealth in accordance to the needs of the working families of this country

we have twenty five percent child poverty in california announced a child poverty as a category both were labeled that's real trouble there's a second category called neon pop art that takes about forty six percent oppose state of california forty six mr the children growing up in poverty or near poverty the booming state of california neighboring district of columbia its over thirty three percent the nation's capital the highest average wrinkle regional urban suburban area in the country does that indicate something about too much far too much wealth into humans the pain forty seven million people in this country work full time and have a little boy that's one of every three workers

there are many as the workers who've given up looking for a job and under the farmer labor unemployment criteria you know find a job after six months in outlook and you've given out you no longer un envoy they are part of one the statistic if you were twenty one hours away you're considered employed but the farmer labor joe deceptive these indicators convey the first of the country's once a year so why lawyer who's never he's never seen or opportunity doesn't like oh it's a big booster of the vietnam war it was a big boost to the vietnam war but he didn't

want to serve in the military you know you got out of the military the city had assessed that his acts and he got out of military service fifty thousand soldiers were award tell that sits under us this country now has been driving toward and what about forty chicken hawks in and around george w bush more about that shortened let's focus on what we can do now and the corporate crime what we have a great opportunity no longer have to worry about it being disclosed everybody understands that more than a

feel corporate executives at the trade this country animals on the world turn would betray their workers would betray future old they betray their own families and their greed one of people here think they can go but the sake of their five under thirty five men and women in congress where two hundred and eighteen million of us there are about five thousand several employees for corporations anything could where we simply walk up to our civic responsibility and thought a little bit more of our civic stature two days ago we had the biggest rally and wall street on wall street's crimes in history the country we have three thousand people on a rainy day shop right opposite the new york

stock exchange on the very steps of the federal building where george washington was first inaugurated as president and many are tied to one word that worked you're cbs network we're from ever that the laureate is not had a beer tonight their own camera said that you probably didn't hear you probably be nearby a lot of other things when we fill the portly kelsey with ten thousand people near two thousand lesson number one we cannot have a functioning deliberative democracy without our own mass media the

pope i mean for starters we have to support community radio independent media and community newspapers means we have to support magazines like the nation magazine and the progressive magazine and harper's magazine and washington monthly lesson number two their proposals in congress for the second wave of corporate crime reform legislation the first on was the sarbanes a lot to regulate the accounting firms signed by bush and republicans many there goes oh well it's beyond behind us now we can look for to something else there's probably ninety percent of the reform legislation was left to rein in executive pay that provides an incentive for cricket accounting inflated profits booming the

stock de grace executives stock up all of which referred to persuade his due give the shareholders the authority to approve or disapprove a compensation packages of the top executives they would never bring a kind of wild rain weeds your corporate executives of the top three other corporations in nineteen forty they pay themselves twelve times the entry level wage in the seventies forty times is now five hundred and thirty so that means for example that one of these executives who gets the average level of play goes to work and one day makes fifty thousand dollars and a worker in his company makes a hundred two disparate anybody who studies in the us that you

got sudden the better not one when the lord of the manor and the surf in terms of disparity and the second is to basically say any executive of a giant corporation gives more a million dollars can the doctor on the income tax a corporation on the third bird sighting jp morgan peter drucker and warren buffett all capitalists who have said but no ceo should make more than twenty to twenty five times more than the entry level wage and his or her company that that requirement would be done by legislation needed to give investors more rights of investigating a

controlling her own company we need to repeal the nineteen ninety five law which was parsed by both democrats and republicans although it was vetoed by clan is democratic associate senator chris dodd over let the override which kept investors suing corporate law firms with corporate accounting firms and a divided the court records we need to save the cord for criminals who are convicted that they will receive no more government contracts know more government subsidies no more government tax abatements you're welcome is good enough for a bicycle thief to be sent to life imprisonment we should have a three strikes in iraq and impose capital punishment on those corporations we should regulate derivatives trading

and here's a great option trillions of dollars of derivatives trading are changing every week it was a struggle not to mention regular stops by your yard and you do have a sales tax that you know while most states do have a sales tax in most americans are going to buy books they buy food they buy furniture they buy clothing have to pay five percent six seven percent sales but if someone buys a hundred million dollars worth of germ orders that a stock will pay any sales now if we tax sales transactions and derivatives one or two cents per share or murder of it we would raise hundreds of billions of all there've been speculation is not good for the economy speculation dampen speculation

provide enough to cover everybody in this country in terms of health care and reduce the individual income tax for working now just imagine what an opportunity to do this and it was it was it was first proposed by a member of the president's economic council advisory council james tobin nobel prize winner from yale years ago called the problem that mothers should be a major issue in campaigns all over the country the fact that we don't even think about the fact that we tried to everyday except for oregon a couple of the state and pay the sales tax is a necessity and we've allowed these speculators these traders to trade trillions of dollars await without naming any of that in terms of the sales shows how we grow cork

react expand disclosure to investors with disinfectant of somewhat as justice brandeis rift and the conflicts of interest and more wall street with a stockbroker's like you say by this thought and they know it's a day and within one italian because they're getting teased for their investment banking business on the other side of the aisle we've got a corporate crime database which is just a farmer has been resisting our demands to create for thirty years because if you don't have a corporate crime database you don't have to face up to it you know i have to have it turn into a political agenda but if we had a corporate crime database we could now we would be told but as they do in street crime at any given time

we did to facilitate the formation of consumer financial organizations that will control their destiny through inserts and bank statements and brokerage statements and over the web so people can find each other band together in state after state and have their own investigators and lawyers and accountants and organizers and demonstration exports finally gonna take a big big long walk through a federal commission on corporate reforms that will have hearings all over the country so that the voices of what are called the little people and begin to be hurt and you come from a stride of our economy that it's easily in the top twenty percent with few exceptions when you hear the stories of what people gone through another slowly dying from uranium

tailings exposure in the mines and how many died from coal miners black mcconnell's and how many workers had to suburbia were thrown on the slide water corporation miniscule amount of disability payments we run through the country you see all people of the navy either five or ten percent of doctors they should never be allowed to practice medicine you know these voices are not heard when you see the farmers or being driven out of business by the agribusiness giant federally subsidized through industrial agriculture and vertical integration you know i hear those voices like another world so we need this kind of federal commission on corporate reform hello is a lot more backup detail

to websites citizen works dot org is one citizen works harder or any other is democracy rising dot org let me make a few comments hear about what happens or democracy is thin enough that another solo becomes very dictatorial we've never had very much influence over for him affairs or military calls right now the military industrial complex and eisenhower pointed out years ago warned us about its burgeoning did you know that one half of the expenditures by your government washington our military the discretionary expenditures of the entire federal budget that doesn't count social security social insurance now the military but we have no more major enemy in the world so the

union is now broken up communist china can't wait to become cowboys china were desperately looking for a major enemy in order to bolster those four hundred billion dollar military budget how much influence do we really have on we were hearing on abortion views of iraq's population when george w bush who now is a two track president won track of beating the drums of war in the others raising money at fancy places from corporate fact that's how he spends his time when he starts every day winslow propaganda ploy is anybody able to cross examine is anybody able to challenge and the congress is supposed to do that and they're rolling over they're supposed to represent this as a countervailing checkpoint and they're rolling over le

pen such as senator harry byrd senator harry byrd we will say on the senate floor a good deal this coming week opposing what he calls the first pre emptive war an american is for the mutter forgot about the spanish american war oh you start thinking about whether to go to war against iraq how'd you start to get you have the scaffolding of analysis to try to at least know one of the light apart from whether it is legal how we start thinking about well if we don't go to war against iraq is a wise to do so without allies

is it wise to do so the united nations is it wise to do so without a mall tae lateral force is it wise to do so it all what do we cheat well one approach is it's going to be over in a few days and maybe a few hours but the minute the planes and the ships and aircraft carriers that there will be a quote will be overthrown and a land of babylon will resume building its eat that is what your work employee yesterday in new hampshire is another scenario this being articulated by retired admirals and generals and that is watch out getting into afghanistan was a lot easier than getting out we toppled the taliban very quickly but now we have a ninety nine percent of

afghanistan controlled by vicious corrupt warlords who can even maintain one order in the streets ninety nine percent we're actually wondering rightly terrifying to people what they would like to tell about what the taliban had safe streets and this is just the beginning and we wanted to get out of afghanistan this is that i had that we go into these countries with our guns blazing and we got a statement and then we get attention deficit disorders movies in this scenario that has been put forward inside the pentagon although they can't

speak up as well as retired military as a quiet car that will go and they're certainly have the power to topple the regime what you think this regime is going to do knowing it's going to be tall is it going to go away quietly is imploding and disintegrate or is a little more entrenched than the optimistic scenarios of george w bush after all as bobby little down as chemical biological warfare materials we know that because our own corporations in the late eighties under the first president bush under an export license my department cameras sort of talk fb because he was our ally then against the dreaded iranian regime with armed we support it we even a distant invade

iran from which million youngsters died in that war and so he has chemical biological warfare which are so do at other countries soloway more than any country in the world is that enough a pretext while that he's going to use and use them against the kurds so these communes but first and foremost he is a survivor he controls one third of this country is military is a third the strength that was a nineteen ninety one against our own government according to our own government as they can get spare parts of inmates were flying over north and southern iraq we bombed thirty eight towns along with the british since january is under daily day and night satellite surveillance is surrounded by hostile enemy is iran turkey israel

was savannah sign wanted to commit suicide and had a capability and willingness to use chemical biological warfare outside his country the israeli military jargon that would have destroyed a long time ago it's b so why are we going into iraq instead of the other axis of evil north korea north korea has much deadlier missiles north korea is much closer to nuclear weapons north korea is a brutal dictator of north korea is shot these missiles as a warning signal over japan a couple years ago north korea's got into fights with south korea one of them resulted in fifty thousand american soldiers dying of the korean war north korea is a stalinist communist dictatorship

and one is george w bush going to north korea is continuing the clinton administration's funding of a nuclear power plant there with your tax dollars to try to temper the radical regime and bring it to its senses and he is yes at a diplomat over there to begin negotiations for more peaceful relations what's the difference between north korea and iran as nightline as nightline demonstrated a few days ago this will be the greatest oil concessions in modern times given to us come it sits on the second biggest pool of oil and the middle east the third biggest in the world and our oil companies including however in a slobbering for years also know the difference israel wants us to do what china warns us against doing that north korea now where the american people here

it's really a disease one of the first war mongering episodes in our history where there are more people who have served in the military against it and more people haven't served in the military for and this country's been led by two draft dodgers in the white house though are what unintended ha ha article after article has warned about the unintended consequence sure it may be a cakewalk that maybe all kinds of civil wars water between kurds and shiites and some nights and all the scores are going to be settled on the soldiers are eager to have that common the peacekeepers are going after how many years the reagan have to stay and how many billions of dollars it's estimated to cause a train fifty and two hundred billion dollars because you're so well we don't have the money the cleanup were drinking

water health clinics to repair schools to advanced modern public transit the cleanup are deadly environmental impact toxic but we got george w bush as a west texas sheriff to pay you before the war starts at three months once the war starts there's no the saddle the network's while there are generals and admirals and military consultant next to dan rather and peter jennings and tom brokaw presented in nineteen ninety one the time on tv

the preservative were know what the tide is beginning to turn notwithstanding the country thousands of people are beginning to march in city after city and demonstrate the the walks in washington are taking the temper of the campuses are they common allies are they gonna make it demonstrated point here that we must not go to war without a very collaborative constitutional un process so we know what we're getting into if we decide the pain a hundred and twenty eight thousand gulf war veterans who've come down with the golf course intro i've got a lot to tell us if we give them a little tv

about dangerous going there is just from the inoculation started again which have all kinds of side effects never mind all the light in chemical and biological materials are out as trap doors for our bunks mr jerry containers to contaminate and if he wants to it gets re anthrax all over the oil fields in the middle ages it had like those wells in the middle ages as they didn't quite burning for massive global air pollution says the way to deal with a problem like this if he isn't that evil man why do we won approval go into using this chemical and biological warfare materials most of the people in this country don't think he's right

he's been contained limited surveillance baum deterred and sanction at the expense of hundreds of thousands of iraqi innocent children and that doesn't seem to be enough like yeah we're gonna make more of these people innocent people suffer aren't the personnel weapons are nato are bubbles are straight but maybe it'll be over in a few hours i wonder george w bush we post a personal bot behind that if you're just an example the threat to america is far greater from accidental release of nuclear missiles in from the former soviet union and they don't have enough money to keep those scientists working in a chemical biological area they don't have enough money to put him into other areas we send them about a hundred million dollars a year

what would be better in terms of national security omaha much higher probability of accidental release and the proliferation of weapons from the old soviet union and scientists are for hire these dictators around the world but that some of that fifty to two hundred billion dollars and secure those scientists and secure those mechanisms it's been isom at the george w bush is exhibiting serious obsessive compulsive symptoms of how like any other control politician we have to bring him to his senses until those germans and the campuses are just really important and every

college in every university has students they can nourish the time of sanity the title of the liberation the tide of constitutional
