We the people, we the people continued without a host for a while and in 2020, milad javan mardy started hosting the show, hello and welcome to we the people, im your host mila jawan mardi, and later gave the position to daniel arya, hello and welcome to we the people, im your host daniel arya, this is the 315th and the last episode of Weekly Program that. Shed light on the issues related to the people of the United States of america. In this last episode we will review some of the highlights of our past shows. Probably the most important episodes were aire after george floyd was brutally murdered by the minnesota police. Winy people joined the angry people of the United States and covered their protests and spoke to experts about the treatment of africanamericans and other. Minorities by the us police. Kids and borders was another subject touched often on the show, where light was shed a pression of immigrants coming into the us, especially children, and mostly those coming from southern borders. Sad stories of Trump Administration detaining immigrant children and separating them from their parents, was covered on the show as well as the Biden AdministrationBorder Police attacking immigrants on horseback. Mimicking the violence of cowboys against native americans. The evolving situation on the usmexico border comes with reports of kids who have not seen sunlight in days and others often going days without taking showers. Some of the kids sleep in bunk beds, some of them of three bunks high, still better than overcrowded facilities and children sleeping on the ground. The keeping children in custody is is very is terrible. For for the children, um, its been shown time and time again, infamously during the Trump Administration, particularly during the 2018 uh, zero tolerance policy that the Trump Administration um implemented, the world could see like what was happening with children, uh, the sort of things that happened in detention, the even the abuses by um, the us Border Patrol, and but that those sorts of things have been happening for a long time. Theres a report by the American Civil Liberties union, the aclu from uh that looked at uh shortterm Border Patrol detention effects on kids from 2009 to 2014, so mind you thats the oba, the president barack obama years, russia and ukraine and how the us has been involved in the conflict as well as the controversies surrounding trump, hunter biden, joe biden and rudy giuliani. Concerning ukraine. The United States has made repeated announcements of military aid to ukraine in the past six months of the russiaukraine war. The Congress Passed the 40 billion dollar aid package back in may. President biden then swiftly signed it into law. 57 lawers opposed the bill in the house, all of them from of republicans. 11 senators also rejected the legislation in the senate again. All republicans. We cannot bury our heads in the sand and ignore what is happening thousands of kilometers away from us borders. Now thats how us politicians justify so much aid to ukraine, but rather what about the chronic problems here at home . Just google hunger in america, and you get an unbelievable result of more than 38 million people, including some 12 million children who are simply food andsecure. Thats a. According to the Us Department of agriculture, so why is it that these issues do not get enough attention . Um, there are people in the us who call attention to this. There are uh media and even some politicians to do, but in general its just not an issue that ever gets uh much attention uh the issue of poverty during uh the covid lockdowns it it got more attention because so many people were in food lines and going to food banks, but in general its the kind of thing that you know gets a little bit of attention but it doesnt grab um americas you know focus the way that Something Like a war will because the media and the politicians you know turn that into a huge big kind of spectacular kind of story and so these other you know stories about people who dont have enough food, food banks closing, kids who cant have school, who do dont have school lunches, just never really gets enough attention, there are people who work on it, but you know in the face of of um especially in the last several years theres been this really hardcore conservative attack where you know people food stamps have been cut, people who are on food stamps are not allowed to buy certain types of food, so its just um never really been the kind of thing in the last four. Or 50 years really or even more. With george floyd and countless other victims of Police Brutality, the show often covered Police Violence and mistreatment of us citizens, especially africanamericans. Floyds passing is painful reminder of the price the Africanamerican Community has paid in the country. He was an ordinary black man, but his demise enabled him to do something that most have not. Transcended imposed barriers in the society and elevated important conversations in the United States, but what role did floyds death play in the black lives Matter Movement and what lies ahead for the movement in the immediate future . The murder of george floyd in may 25, 2020 electrified the black lives Matter Movement. I think particularly hartening to this movement were the solidarity demonstrations overseas. And now once again, and in the cycle of American Police brutality, another unarmed black man has been killed. The killing of keen and anderson has patterns of an episode that has repeated itself again and again, horrifying footage, a black man begging for help, the police using excessive force, and an ambulance that arrives just to carry a halfdead body off to hospital and ultimately to the more. Yeah, this a revolution in our time, everybodys fighting, change coming, yes, thats why its an acronym for riot, everybody has a voice, dont you dare stay silent, if you say nothing, you are accessory to violence, let these words try to tears of our people that are crying, we can bring back hope, but not the people that are dying, this what happens when the people you repress pass for change in a country that they built but youve ignored and denied this is in every Single FamilyPolice Brutality is intervened this is forest in the past eight years alone the United NationsGeneral Assembly has approved 140 solutions criticizing the zionist entity, and the worlds last apartide regime was centured once again at the General Assembly last month. What tends to happen is they point someones independent and who goes and finds out whats happening in israel and the science entity and uh it discovers surprise surprise theres ethnic cleansing and theres appalling Human Rights Violations and of course they report that and the zists throw up their hands in horror, clutch their pearls and they say, oh these people are antisemites, these these ngs were. Playing for audience of one washington essentially, and washington would then relay the talking points of the of un watch, so we were under constant pressure. Sick on drugs was an episode that highlighted the overwhelming use of antidepress in the United States and how these drugs not only are not helping the patients, but are actually making them sicker. The United States center for Disease Control and prevention announced that at the end of may 2022, close to 40 of American Adults had ex experienced symptoms of depression and anxiety during the past month, a quarter of which received antidepressants or other psychiatric drugs. The New York Times also reported that between 2017 and 2021, american teenagers use of antidepressants rose by 41 . Most adults that feel depressed do not take antidepressants, but the total number the ones that do are still staggering, more than. More than 10 of americans aged 12 and above take antidepressants in the United States. This is while in 1990, less than 3 of adults had taken these drugs. The rise of the use of antidepressants is while. Nature magazine recently published a study stating that antidepressants are causing Drug Resistance and resistance towards antibiotics in particular. Chinhuagua, the author of the study working at. The Australian Center for water and environmental biotechnology at the university of queensland in brisbane became interested in the possible contribution of non antibiotic drugs to antibiotic resistance in 2014. Why is it that so Many Americans take antidepressants . I think the first the first thing to look at is that these figures uh parallel the decline in uh equal sorry the rise if you of inequality in wealth inequality in america um and also the decline in Living Standards of many Many Americans uh specifically um lower income americans who have really not seen their wages and their work um compensation increase substantially for over 30 years, its only just in this very last period from covid that theres been any increase at all, but thats still less than inflation. Thats the major cause, the rule of money in politics and how the elite and mega corporations use their influence and money to buy politicians and effect elections and the way congressman and senators vote on important bills. Occupy wall street was movement that is started partly because of the anger over money influence in us politics. A number of arguments have been. Put forward to explain the high rate of incumbancy reelection or the socalled congressional stagnation. Candidates that are reelected are said to be more experienced, that is to say they have run Successful Campaign before. They have also had media converge which gives them name recognition, but if you look at these factors closely, all them come down to one thing, money. Especially outside the United States to understand, the democratic and the republican parties are two sides of the same coin, both are ruling class parties, capitalist parties that ultimately perpetuate their own power and interests, that the that they both spend so much money and criticize themselves in public means only that they play golf together and smoke cigars in their backrooms in private. Both of them profit uh tremendously off of this system, they spend hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars on election cycles, but reap in tens of billions of dollars in uh the the. Various gifts, donations and power that they achieve through that, so theyre able to give tax breaks to the rich, theyre able to uh change restrictions on certain provisions, be they for Environmental Issues or for gas and fracking and things like that, they are able to give tremendous wealth back to the lobbyis and provide them with the legislation needed for them to increase their power and their wealth, so ultimately what we what we see in the United States is that is a show, its not really democracy, its a show of of of fake democracy that parades itself around as being the the panultimate democratic country, when its really a one party state, and that party is of course the the corporate party, we also recently covered a plate of native americans and how they are almost entirely wiped out, the oppressed community that is still being neglected in their. Beginning in the 19th century, the Us Government established boarding schools for native American Children as part of his assimilation policies. These schools forcibly separated children from their families and communities aiming to erase indigenous languages, religion, cultures and traditions. Warding school subjected children to harsh discipline, religious conversion and curriculum at then with their own cultures while promoting euro american values. She said, no more indian talk, and then uh, she pushed me. Us government investigation, revealed that at least 53 separate burial sites exist at federal native american boarding schools. The initial findings show that hundreds of children died in these schools, but the number will climb into the thousands or tens of thousands when the investigation continues. What are some of the needs of native americans today that they have been neglected from . The needs of native American Communities in terms of healthcare, in terms of so. Is identical with what so many small towns and cities in the United States are facing from coast to coast. United states has been destabilized. Years and i believe intentionally, impoverished. The last few episodes were on how trump was making money for merchandise heat markets and sales its website, featuring the muck shot photo taken when he was arrested and indicted in georgia and how his numbers go up every time new indictment is announced. The white cotton. Was selling for 36 in Trumps Campaign website and shows that donald trump is 6 ft 5 in tall while according to the white house physical exam conducted in 2020 the former president s height was 6 feet 3 in and he weighed 244 pounds. It seems that the trump team or himself want to make him look taller than he actually is. How is trump taken advantage. Fald against him. Well, as you probably know, trump took the mugshot uh from georgia and put it on tshirts and coffee cups and theyre selling like wildfire, and the more they indite him, the more the American People are angry about it. So the more that they attack him, the more his support becomes vocal. And i think americans really have the sense that there is twotiered system of justice when you have joe and hunter biden taking millions of dollars of bribes from a corrupt ukrainian corporation uh and there seems to be nothing, no consequences for them, yet the former president is indicted repeatedly for things like having an opinion about an election result. In the past year and a half we also had abbas muntagim, an american who recently converted to islam, speak about a variety of issues concerning the American People, especially those who are oppressed, and now its time we check in with to see what he has prepared for us this week. Peace and welcome back to power to the people. On todays episode we will take a look at the current state of the us military and by default capitalist imperialism. First and foremost, we must, we must understand that the socalled United States military must be understood as the armed protectors and aggressors of the capitalist imperialist empire, and the american military, it is the biggest threat to humanity, its the biggest threat that humanity has ever known and is responsible for crimes against humanity and genocidal conditions, it literally has been in a perpetual state of war since it was founded, killing Indigenous People and africans to create the socalled settler country. And since the end of world war ii, the socalled United States, they have intervened in 60 plus countries using a variety of tactics and this doesnt even include Clandestine Operations that are still classified. Its very clear that americas military, it has blood its hands and it is a manifestation of the devil himself. And even though the us, it is considered to have one the strongest militaries in the world, countries like iraq and afghanistan have fought back to remove us military colonizers. In their land in countries like iran and cuba, they have been under the inhumane, they have been under inhumane sanctions and have remained steadfast, and these must be understood as victories against the us military machine, and this must be understood as victory for oppressed people, and it shows us that the u. S. Regime, it can and will be defeated, and if we look closely at the usas most recent big conflict, which is the us slash nato, slash ukraine versus russia war. It shows us that the western back ukraine is losing to russia. The results of this war so far show us that a multipolar world is being developed where the capitalist imperialist. Military regime of the United States is being challenged. We must understand that one of the main functions of the us capitalist imperialist machine is to wage war and make profits, which it undoubtedly has done as american Oil Corporations have made billions from this conflict in ukraine. And us capitalist imperialism, it is also using, one the tactics is to use genocidal sanctions against countries, which is another form of military warfare, and attempt to starve countries that wish to be free from imperialism into submission. This is done to keep capitalist imperialism at the top and to make the world subjected to the rules of the socalled american capitalism. And while the usa, they have made massive profits, theres no doubt about that. It has also taken major losses from this warfare, as in many ways what has happened with sanction has backfired against good old uncle sam. These sanctions are done to keep capitalist imperialism at the top, to make the world subjected to the rules of american capitalism. And while the usa has undoubtedly made mad massive profits, massive profits from this war, it has also taken major losses, as in many ways what has happened with sanctions has backfired against uncle sam. And if we look at the socalled american economy, inflation is at an alltime high, it went up 9. 1 , which is the biggest increase, biggest yearly increase since 1981, and while of course the elites in the capitalist imperialist economy are making massive, massive profits, it can also be said and argued that russia has been winning this clash with with us capitalist imperialism, this materially counteracts the capitalist imperialisms goal of complete World Domination and control, and it shows us again that a multipolar world is here, and in the face of this development of this new world order, the socalled United States military is in a recruiting crisis and is struggling to meet is quotas. This has led to the us military dropping ged and High School Graduation requirements being weived as well as some other requirements. And people are even denying the large signon bonuses of the us military, and this might, it might be seen as a sign of weakening us nationalism and perhaps an emerging Antiwar Movement that is starting in the belly of the imperialist beast, but whatever happens, its very clear, its very clear that new world order is being burphed as we speak, and it provides hope for oppressed people everywhere, suffering from the imperialist beast of the socalled United States of america, but one thing, one thing must be for certain, is that imperialism itself will not selfdestruct, it must be defeated and it must be crushed.
