Transcripts For ALJAZ The Coming War On China 2017 Ep 2 20240712

Investigation now the statement does tread quite carefully it doesnt name the group that these individuals belong to but our sources have told us that all of these 14 members are in fact members of the. Hezbollah which is part of the Popular Mobilization forces and that it was actually their base that was raided now and the other interesting thing that is in this statement it does confirm that these individuals were arrested after obtaining an arrest warrant from the iraqi judicial reduce was not initially cleared and was definitely an order from the Prime Minister to carry out this raid but then subsequently we saw dozens of armed fighters arrive in the 45 green zone and protest against the detention of those individuals claiming that it was unlawful that there were no arrest warrants and that in fact that iraq account to secure Counterterrorism Forces had illegally raided a base that belongs to the Iraqi Security forces so this statement does confirm that there was an arrest warrant and it confirms that those individuals are still in the tension which is contradictory to some other statements that we have received over the past few hours.

These american bases form a giant news encircling china with missiles bombers warships. If you were in beijing looking out east and the tallest building in beijing a look out of the Pacific Ocean youd see American Warships youd see guam is about to sink because theres so many missiles pointed at china you look up the korean see american armaments pointing at china the chinese 2000 years ago built the great wall to keep the barbarians out and nothing theyd be aim of this film is to break a silence the United States and china may well be on a path toward a nuclear war is no longer unthinkable. And. Shanghai today is a prosperous International City still run by the communists at least in name. Yes there are issues with human rights especially the right to speak against the state and challenge its power i had a range to see professor zion way way a close aide to the late things out paying the man who changed china your old boss things have presided over the bloodshed and tear them square what would you say to the survivors. Of Tiananmen Square because so many of those did fight for what they saw as Democratic Change in china. In 1809 there were 2 Political Force one was those reprise any by the Chinese Students their hero was me high gorbachev who happened to be beatty in their slogan was the. Unions today chinas to more than so the idea was political reform 1st other reforms 2nd otherwise be hopeless and messy which opposite he saw. It he sought you know china must have economic reform 1st as a reform 2nd this priority must be set clear. Unfortunately at that particular moment in 99 to 2 Political Forces cannot reach a compromise so definitely a tragedy occur. It was more than a tragedy it was a massacre. Of which the memory remains a roar presence in modern china. Why does the Chinese State still fear the few. The few who speak out and im thinking of. That place i mean the man won the nobel peace prize. And hes in prison hes a violet the child is a law you know by march so. Pretty free of expression similar views by many people but he really going to dijkstra. Challenge the government to implement democratic reforms and spent a total of 13 years in prison. Why cant a confident china except a criticism like this so they are peace committing makes huge mistake oh the chinese an explanation if you cross a line of course youre violent constitution uveitis so many laws you should be punished were. And yet in china today the spirit of protest and assent lives on in different forms. In 2015 strikes and Community Protests and activism reach record levels this resistance is seldom reported in the west. So there are also protests in china. Typically for example land being grap by officials to for commercial development and the farmers are not being compensated to properly and the farmers now are no more wary of their rights to their protest all Young Workers from the factory they demand a better wage a better working conditions but many of the protests their economic driven not political driven they are ration or not National Light so this kind of things or unlikely to get into a Real Movement or socalled you call that revolution. So the most revolution was the last regulation. And what i meant was there never. The japanese island of okinawa is occupied by 32 military installations from here the United States is attacked korea vietnam cambodia afghanistan iraq. The scar is full of planes and helicopters. Wherever people go they are fenced in and told to keep out. Is the frontline of a beckoning war with china. Age 87 from a kosher my book is one of the leaders of a nonviolent resistance lets challenging washingtons pivot to asia. That. They might. Add it up and that was why. Did it get to that hard time and a skill to some extent. To cut. A little you know. Say so on a needle to have to make it like. This some of them anyway lets not. If you did not know us we could do is just to get money and knock some of the its a mystery with a. Yes. It was a survivor. A quarter of the civilians on the island were killed in the American Invasion in 1945 and a fear of war has been passed through the generations. And. Today those who witness these horrors live in the place something extraordinary beauty surrounded by coral reefs and a unique marine life. It was here in her no you could buy that the survivors of world war 2 sold refuge and its this the now fighting to say. Its an epic struggle the pitch the zine and people against the greatest military power on earth. This is the office of a former governor of all. Otoh my 2nd day. What he has done is create not so much museum. Bought an appeal to the outside world to understand the resistance and to understand the suffering. To read its Hidden History it begins in 1945 when the americans invaded heres general what call for arriving in. A 2nd invasion. What happened 10 years later in what became known as the bulldozers the beignets campaign American Forces seize prime Agricultural Land burned farmhouses and killed livestock the dispossessed people of iraq are now on march the length of japan appealing for help. This fall is devoted to a resistance in okinawa that never ceases everywhere people go on the island theyre confronted by this sign it tells them they must not go pulse this fence top with bob while these fences run like great ribbons across the island and the bases themselves cups ways across all canal but all around the people with this continuing demonstration this continuing resistance. And i have a message its people of the world. In the us during. Force bases around. You just. Look. At all. I came on only i mean you can we call can only call a student. Their temple i mean if anyone only they could if you want today you just. Hope old school. Thinking i said and i sort of understand it it could do you mean it was very nice theres only 120. 9 such going up so youll. Know this in. The group do you want to give us. That so that the good looking it is that we do go to good to you. In. All this will be lost where much of the brain becomes concrete runways for bombers at camp schwalbe the huge u. S. Marine base behind this fence. In 2014. Elected a new governor to kishi or naca who won by a landslide on one issue stopping the new base at home no. This was Election Night outside the american base camp schwall. I still mean theres a. Guy i dont know how do you get that was. That was. Was. There somebody. That youre not its not that its nice. That you got that right there but i did have some action tonight im going to have i can let you know that but they thought it was. Just i did a good job. Of god. That was. A hit well over you. And i was i was. The shah was. A celebration of the victory was bittersweet the government in tokyo resent this unprecedented challenge to its authority. The issue is now in the japanese courts. Japans Prime Minister shinzo abbey has also made clear there were the backing of his powerful patron america he wants to reawaken japanese nationalism and reclaim its military power. While we were filming this ceremony outside the base on a day when people paid respect to that apartment loved ones giant American Helicopters circling above us intimidating as away by. The threat of these low flying aircraft is a constant presence in okinawa teachers often con each because of the noise and the fear. This was the carnage when an american fighter crashed into a Primary School after the pilot had objected to safety. Was terribly bund. On. So. This sort of. Mess thats how the not so not. Is a gun the courage of the kids thats in the middle of the colony dont think itll need a coke and i got that this isnt the. Sedan i stuck at. So it will be a new day oh do you. Get over. It. Yet. Well i think still miller did. Well. But. You. Will get they do do it they just. Could be its. Ok or suffered throughout his youth and died from his injuries age 21. Thank you. Another tragedy waits to happen on all kanawa u. S. Military aircraft have been involved in 44 accidents on the island. The latest threat is this hybrid plane the osprey notorious for its safety issues. Wherever the military is based in asia there is a relationship with local people especially women and that often breeds resentment. In okinawa this resentment ignited a riot in 1970 scores of american g. I. s what pull from a cause which was set alight. For washington and its compliant ally and tokyo its this kind of insurrection but they fear. During the making of this film a young woman was raped and murdered allegedly by an American Military contract from one of the bases. It was the latest of thousands of cases of violence and it brought massive crowds into the streets demanding an end to the military occupation of their country. This is some mice misao designed to carry a Nuclear Warhead during the cold war the United States secretly installed Nuclear Weapons at this to launch pad you know. Most of them aimed to china. Today the Nuclear Missile site is run by a Buddhist Organization the socalled. As a peace be seen. In one to 62 who the. Atomic where parse out or on the missile almost launched. Theyre almost alone should be according to the spokesman of this military base said they were all about to prepare them. Second order to stop it. One of the american servicemen whose job was to fire them a smith. Has since revealed that china was a nuclear target during the cuban missile crisis in 1962 we were told that we would had lost all of us but we only had one missile headed over to russia and we did not see why we involve countries cat and suggested that everybody cracked the doors open. Would take less time the larger vessel if the doors were cracked open. One of the launch cruise was on the point of firing them missing when a duty officer suspected the order was false and also shot a bayside and 2 men over there 45. 00 and issued a try the loss. Until situation was off and it would only take like 1520 seconds to run a distance between the 2 of command centers so those 2 big get that whole crew it they. While we made a decision as what to do. And it was a very long maybe 2 or 3 seconds later were very nervous major came over the intercom. Issuing the. Stand down order. Then we just. We couldve starman a whole plan. The major who had given the moon was quietly cold. And dismissed from the air force.

The government of south korea declared it an island of world peace. But on this island of peace has been built one of the most provocative military bases in the world less than 400 miles from shanghai. Like and the Marshall Islands this is americas front line in it so cold pivot to asia. Hair in one sun spoiled again jong village the south korean navy has built a base for american Aircraft Carrier is Nuclear Submarines and destroyers equipped with the aegis ballistic missile. And aimed at chinas defenses. Chinas lifelines to the world in oil trade resources depend on shipping that comes through checkpoints like this. The u. S. Pivot and the asia pacific is really intended to create the ability to put a loaded gun to the head of china and say you know you will do as we say otherwise we will be able to restrict or well be able to shut down choke off your importation of oil and other resources.

In there the patriot and thats millions more about his. Companion you want to move the man to. It to come out of my to your question congressman i saw. You i dont come near me on some other hand. This is the center of an empire but lever speaks its name whose power is represented in this extraordinary world map of American Military bases. 4000 bases in the United States almost a 1000 bases spread across every car. The archipelago of empire the bases that we have around the world hidden in plain sight are the the real territory of our empire but at the same time we maintain independent governments in japan or south korea or germany. They dont have autonomy when it comes to Foreign Policy so its a very sophisticated and effective system. Where whereby we pat ourselves on the back for helping to midwife democracy in japan and germany and south korea and various other places while keeping the lid on in that we dont know what these countries would do if they were fully independent and the beauty of this system is that most people pay no attention to it at all they think its just a natural occurrence to have 50000. 00 american troops and japan theres no country that has better and im sure hell credit kred and the United States and we are not trying to recreate the glories of. The British Empire were arguing that the world is round we have a Global Policy and. All nations have global rights no ocean has ever been dominated the way the u. S. Dominates the pacific navy air force. They claim in the pearl harbor headquarters of the Pacific Command they claim to be responsible for 52 percent of the earth surface and when you look at their logo it shows an eagle over the Aleutian Islands with one tail on coming down somewhere near seattle on the other coming down right over beijing so beijing looks at a network of bases a real archipelago of empire thats been built up since the korean war you have had and still have an aco of of bases that start an australia go through your house if we have no bases in australia you have you have. And you have a new facility in Western Australia no to speak precisely we have no military bases in australia what we do is operate with and in australian bases but were not in the basing business nowadays theres a growing collection of what are referred to as lily pad bases these are bases that have typically 300 troops no family members very few amenities and theyre often quite secretive their bases that are frequently constructed within a foreign countrys base to disguise it and generally are not referred to as bases. Many of these bases have been set up to combat chinas will wide economic influence. From these places the United States operates a secret ami you know 147 countries. If youre going to be a free country rather than a given every gangster regime in the world is going to have to take a risk because the gangsters they want to they want to eliminate good people in the world so they cannot have it in china they want to dominate all over all of the far east they want to dominate just like japan wanted to before world war 2 their goal was to dominate that part of the world today the because there has been no political reform in beijing these guys want to dominate a huge chunk of the planet while its Andrew Campaign of it has served on Americas National Defense Panel so hes a military strategist and will plan that youve written that strikes a naval blockade have a role to play in punishing china. Youve described the need for sea mines youve described the need for special forces u. S. Special forces and missing. Placed in islands. This sounds like a preparation for war. Our 1st president George Washington said if you want peace prepare for war and essentially what the United States is doing it and is responding to provoke kind of behavior on the part of china and just as we did in the cold war the idea was to have a position of military strength such that your adversaries were not tempted to act in an aggressive ways or try to employ coercion to get their way and he just last week the u. S. Navy sent a guided missile destroyer. In to the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea and what was different about this i think was that chinese fighters scrambled that sounds like an escalator. Well the again from an American Perspective the escalation was the chinese speed to militarized these islands in the 1st place moving its military capabilities doubt into that region engaging in provocative behavior against the commercial activities military forces of other minor countries in the region that have claim to those islands so its a response to chinese intimidation rather excuse me how is common this being intimate. In the South China Sea there been no military forces nobility bases there the chinese except the United States military but not in the South China Sea and not even in the philippines because the United States withdrew its forces in the philippines the United States is back in the philippines the philippines and the United States have announced 5 different locations scattered all throughout the philippines where u. S. Troops will be stationed on a rotational basis this threat to china from yet more u. S. Bases on its doorstep was not an issue when an arbitration tribunals ruled against chinas claims to the strategic Spratly Islands in the South China Sea in 2015 the us navy refers to blockade that would cut chinas lifelines of oil and trade and roll materials. The danger of confrontation grows by the day. The u. S. Navy is on the doorstep of china regardless of disputed islands and is there with low draw off ships planes battle groups its right on the doorstep of chinese ships what a few quid lindt was off california where we ask ourselves that question regularly and its important to put yourself in the other guys shoes so look we dont operate in the pacific in an effort to scare china to contain china to back foot china our operations and our presence in 1st of all is warmly welcomed by the vast majority of the coastal states but secondly is fully accepted by the chinese time after time its an excuse me is a fully accepted my impression there will by their words the chinese version is this kid. And this is what they scared off a noose of bases right around china. Mommas drive warships a provocation of law. So they. I state clearly and with conviction americas commitment to seek the peace and security of a World Without Nuclear Weapons. Under obama Nuclear Warhead spending has risen higher than on to any president since the end of the cold war its all magicians show because at the same time that obama is talking about that not only is he spending a trillion dollars to modernize u. S. Nuclear forces but hes deploying these Missile Defense systems to encircle russia and china which makes it impossible to get rid of Nuclear Weapons and that climate everybody wants to look like theyre tough say im going to be tough im going to show you know im not afraid of doing anything military im not afraid to threatening im you know im a hairy chested gorilla and you know and you dont want to look like youre weak so what you do is you talk more and more aggressively and you let and if you dont want to do it yourself. Because you maybe think it doesnt look very president ial you let somebody under you do the talking and we have gotten into a state the United States got into a situation where theres a lot of military so you know saber rattling and its really being orchestrated from the top you know this seems incredibly dangerous all of this its an understatement but i grant. When you routinely plan for mass murder you become conditioned to it thats what this this way except that oh yeah we have Nuclear Weapons the defense secretary has Just Announced that there will be warships and special forces and planes sent to the philippines and the wall street journal is described this is the viking god of a major u. S. Presence in Southeast Asia and sounds like where does this end. What is that whats the purpose i mean where are we going to stop just process before it starts a war. And then if the war starts where does that end. The scientific studies a teacher by the scientists that predicts that the earth can be made essentially uninhabitable from nuclear war the scientists have been baking the a bomb and straight while they were inside baking but theyve made multiple requests to meet with them discuss these predictions because theyre Peer Reviewed studies and theyve been turned down over and over again theyve been peripherally told that well we dont think the long term environmental consequences or nuclear war are all that important if the immediate effects of nuclear are dont stop it but the long term environmental consequences of nuclear are liable to wipe out the human race in one exchange uclear exchange between the u. S. And china. What could be the consequences. Well let me just give you an example of what one chinese for 5 megaton warhead would do to a city in the United States for got through. The detonation of that weapon over a city would instantly ignite about 6 or 700 square miles on fire. And within 20 to 30 minutes all those fires would colas into a single gigantic firestorm there be no escape from it so all the people there would perish so the u. S. With say hundreds of Nuclear Weapons on chinese cities well when you combine all the smoke from these Nuclear Weapons detonating it actually creates millions of tons of black carbon spoke all rise above club level into the stratosphere its heated by the sun and sex like a solar collector and that smoke because of that will say there for 10 years or longer and what the smoke does is it blocks forming sunlight from reaching the surface of the earth. And it becomes so cold in a matter of just a couple weeks that will the temperatures will fall below freezing every day for one to 3 years. And it will become too cold to grow food crops for at least 10 years or longer. I mean theres like a total disconnect with the changing world you have a giant rising power in this case china. Why would you expect the giant Pricing Power to not want to have more control over its destiny what we should be doing in my view is trying to cultivate a sense of friendship and cooperation and we can have our differences with them if we think theyre doing something in trade that we dont like lets have it out with them but this saber rattling is the worst thing we could possibly do was it was time to show 2 you the whole world that america is back bigger and better ad sure that nabbed her before our laws we dont have victories anymore we used to have victorious but we dont have them when was the last time anybody saw us speeding lets say china. In a trade deal they kill us we cant continue to allow china to rape our country and thats what theyre doing its thick greatest theft in the history of the world was the new President Donald Trump has a problem with china you can question now is was will trump continue with the provocations revealed in this film and taken sole to the. Wall was there never have been 2 can trace more into dependent on each other than china in the us in history. And china is the largest trading nation in the world and in history so chinas economy and their size their lives are linked to the entire world including america the west and i love the other countries so i think interdependence between these 2 countries and among all the nations of the world. Speak to peace. We dont have to accept the word of who can drop threats and false and amaze the justified the business and profit of war if we recognize there is another superpower and thats us ordinary people everywhere like the people of all. The Marshall Islands china the United States by speaking out they deliver a warning to all of us can we really afford to be silent. The picture with all this town in central.
