- This weekend, Democracy Now! co-host Juan González gives the opening plenary at American University's one-day conference, "Burying 200 Years of the U.S. Monroe Doctrine," marking 200 years since the Monroe Doctrine, the foreign policy directive from President James Monroe that effectively declared all of Latin America a U.S. sphere of influence. For the past two centuries, the Monroe Doctrine has been repeatedly used to justify scores of invasions, interventions and CIA regime changes in the Americas. On today's show, we speak to two other conference guests, CodePink's Medea Benjamin and The Red Nation's Nick Estes, about the Monroe Doctrine's long and brutal legacy within U.S. imperialism.

*I wish people in the US would understand that our war machine is tied to the corporations; we are collateral damage.*
*"War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of people.* *Only a small inside group knows what it is about.* *It is conducted for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses."* -Smedley Butler
Bingo 🎯🎯🎯. Demonic forces running this country with a mindset of global domination. You nailed it!!!!
the MIC has manufacture the consent for war until now even the average joe wants it... and it is not easy to stop once the genie has out of the bottle
if there was a vote on war now...I bet you its even more dangerous than the leaders themselves who are now all hardliners to avoid labelled as soft....
too much fake news has made war inevitable...god help us all
A democratic State is supposed to cohesively follow the wish of its people. I am 100% certain that 99.99% Americans are peace loving people. But for the last 70 years their country was not run by the government who abide with the peace loving nature of its people.
@@kaimingraymondchoi9909 : ¿ 99.9 % of the U.S population ? I'm not that optimistic. I would say that a majority of people in the United States are certainly peace loving people, but there are certainly war mongers (many of whom don't consider themselves as such) and will justify war and plunder in the name of 'American Exceptionalism,' or in the best interests of 'national security.'
It is always the wealthy using the masses to gain more power and money.
Wow, as a Mexican woman, I want to thank Juan for bringing up all these historical events, that many of us were not aware or know about.
I've also heard from at least one US "investing workers" (usually children of well-connected rich people) whose job it was (12 to 25 years ago) to go to Venezuela and invest in the Venezuelan stockmarket AGAINST their stocks to artificially bring them down since it's "not illegal" (and if they do go down due to fears, then you make money). I'm guessing it was to hurt whatever Presidents/Congress in Venezuela that the USA minority rich people did not like. It's pretty evil but "cannot be punished" and could only eventually be punished internationally if caught and processed which mean it can NOT be made illegal by Venezuela alone (or anyone for now, not even the UN has that power).
Learn Russian, thou will learn much more. Moreover, although it is difficult for Latin Americans to learn Russian (with the exception of those whose native language is Portuguese), many of those who know Russian speak it almost without an accent.
Of course Mexicans wouldn’t know because all they care about is money
@@vyktorzhuravlev8304 lol... Portuguese has it easier? They are both Romantic languages. They both use conjugation in the same way.
What a silly statement to make.
Mexico's issues stem from a long history of accepting Catholic dogma and willing to elect authoritarian style leaders.
Does the Monroe Doctrine help? Probably not. But don't confuse that Mexico's problems are largely their own.
It’s not just in Latin America, but the hands of regime change gurus extend all the way to Pakistan and beyond!
Too many😢
easily accessible if you ask Aunty Google is a list of about 60 countries where the USA has effected regime change sine WW2, including France and Australia. Nowhere is safe.
@@minismith7329 If weren't for the US, Latin America would have streets paved in gold.
@@tuckerbugeater if the US had left Mexico its northwestern lands and not stolen them the two could be peers and there would not be the same drug trade there is today. Currently a Mexico has a very polarized capitalism with too much poverty but it is also a democracy unlike the US which is not.
Africa too

From the Monroe Doctrine, to the Big Brother Policy, to the Roosevelt Corollary, the switch from the Big Brother Policy to the Good Neighbor Policy, to the Latin American School for the Americas that trained a slew of dictators, there is some major history here that needs explaining. Let's not forget the Border Wars and the US' tampering in the Mexican Revolution...the list goes on and on.
Not only that the "Conquest on drug" also wss a direct abuse of power label as "helping"
What a despicable abusive country.
The US is a fascist state masquerading as a democracy
The south atlantic conflict in the 82' tells us that US will not play nice with the south. Never will.
The Washington State is going to suffer heavy sanctions for its crimes when the Empire falls
Thank you for having nick Estes & the great Medea Benjamin.
The USA really could hardly have played world politics any worse.
Instead of building allies and helping build an infrastructure which they could have benefited from, this whole post slavery mentality meant they are despised almost universally.
American colonialism isn't lost on the rest of the world.
Except that it very much is. No matter how bleak and terrible the country may be in policy to others, everyone likes Hollywood, and ultimately they want us to do to the dirty work to defeat China or Russia or whatever other monster they want gone.
Everyone else is trying to speak English, while hypocritically refusing to accommodate the reverse. They want to imitate the superheroes and eat McDonalds and wear the make-up.
Also, what are you on about "no allies"? Europe is pretty much in the pocket.
I see a comment is invisible.?
I like the USA. I lived there 20 years.
America is a nice piece of land, most of the people on a one on one are good humans. But this country has not acted in the honorable way it is portrayed by itself. The forces of commerce maintained slavery past most of the rest of the world and when that was lost Empire building was the game. Philippines, Guam, Hawaii, Korea, and disastrous Vietnam. And that's only the 70s and the eastern side of planet.
Monroe is bad game play.
It's short term and increases betrayl and resentment.
The USA played a "blame THEM for our evil pre-responses and pre-emptive wars!" game because the rich were afraid the poor in the USA would not die in enough numbers and would vote for communism which would end a lot of Realty land-sales rackets. The Realty Lobby spends the MOST on pushing their favored candidates in Congress/Executive/Judiciary.
@@KaliFissure Monroe likely did a lot to prevent China and Japan from quickly becoming the major economies societies that European Nations were never going to last as (and yet China and Japan, CAN last, historically speaking). The military sees Guam and other controlled territories as good and useful military outposts like Pearl Harbor. To scare the Chinese and Japanese into not making treaties with Canada, Mexico, Central America, or South America.
@@KaliFissure There is a sizeable proportion of the U.S. population who are unable to hear criticism of the U.S. without assuming that it means you "hate our freedom" (or something equally silly).
(P.S. the invisible comment usually means they deleted it, or it got deleted for them. I'm assuming you know it exists because you got a notification for it but now it's not here)
I hope every Representative & Senators is watching this teaching 😊.
That's magical thinking.
I can assure you that they are not. And they don't give a s*t about what is being said...!
Hopefully, they uncover why indigineous Ukrainians are displacing Americans,
(ala Chingus Khan): for a eugenics dept.of energy and transportations eugenics war party. Please, find out what NASA Nazis are doing, with the next gen weaponry aimed at indigenous people.
You saw how big tech organized The Ukrainians evac? How the poor were massacred, all while The Sellenskkkys bought trillion dollar purses and white powders endorsed for their superior genetics; while they organized eugenics drones.
Seriously, try to find out why the drones are "eugenic." It is urgently needed for the survival of our naturally diverse human species, that still includes Native Americans.
They're too busy making deals with corporations whose only concern is to continue ruthlessly exploiting Latin American resources and people.
U.S. foreign policy has exemplified hypocrisy in the name of "democracy" - or rather, Demockery.
Some will know and care but most of them don't. 😯
The History of USMC General Smedley Butler is very relevant to this topic. He was a member of the forces that did the corporate bidding, and then came to realize the wrong of it all. He did stop a Nazi movement supported by the father of Bush 1. He did stand up for WW1 veterans. He did admit that he was the muscle for illegitimate American Government actions.
American history on all sides done with dignity and truth this morning.
May we all honor Howard Zinn's, incredible book,

Thank you for introducing me to Nick Estes and the Monroe Doctrine. I recently came across information that indicates ALL reservation land is "held in trust" by uncle sam? Not really belonging to the people... concentration camps? Maritime Law vs
Law of the Land.... This continent was fully inhabited with culture and societal centers before European arrival. Whose laws have been calling ALL the shots?
Exactly, people think that US treaties are any sort of autonomy for Indigenous Peoples, forgetting that they are certainly called "reserves", which do not amount to any ownership of land, even the Judicial power is emanated from the US government, so much for autonomy, sovereignty, and self-determination.
I learned about the Monroe Doctrine in High School here in Texas in a public school in the 90's. I find if weird you just discovered this fact o th internet. Were did you think all of Americas wealth and power came from??
That is one reason to teach HISTORY TO PEOPLE😢
“Dangerous to our peace and safety”, More like dangerous to out PROFITS and POWER.
Really, I wonder why you think our safety and peace is not in question? I was under the impression that a lot of illegal substances such as meth and fentanyl? There are also issue with human trafficking. Are those not an issue to safety and peace?
I've spent a lifetime visiting many Caribbean nations and wish that my nation would let them have sovereignty. They are wonderful, peaceful people that don't bother anyone.
Thank you for this sentiment. They have had their feet on our necks for far too long. We are tired of this oppression that has lasted way too long. As Bob Marley said in his song Babylon System, Babylon system is a vampire.
If TMH does not judge Babylon soon then he must apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.
your artifital ''nation'' are not the one who may let to have their sovereignty, they got it from GOD , And your ''nation'' as representative of pure evil and satan took from them everything they got even their lifes , it would enough to stop interfirance to other countries , they should stop murdering people steal , and rob their gods . That would be enough.
I know you are not referring to Cuba for they are Very sovereign, probably the US colony Puerto Rico which is purposely crushed to pracctice modern-day political lynching and make it look like the constitutional "WealthyWhite/,Godfearing American thing to do.
Bravo! About time you came back to your original purpose Democracy Now. Good segment.
Let's have a little more of this please.
Thanks.
Nick Estes is very well spoken. I learned a lot from him.
Yep. We need our republic back.
@@cbittle we are a republic with a form of democracy
@@ramonpuello2357 Yes, a democratic republic back, because what we've had for at least two decades is called an oligarchy, a completely different kind of fish.
Maybe this quote puts it the best:

America sent troops to the Dominican Republic in 1955, not 1965. LBJ was nowhere near; it was President Eisenhower that authorized the deployment.
The Dominican Civil War (Spanish: Guerra Civil Dominicana), also known as the April Revolution (Spanish: Revolución de Abril), took place between April 24, 1965, and September 3, 1965, in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Therefore, Johnson was president.
all these presidents or politicians work for weapon c0rporations, they usually reflect and express regret only after their geno- idal deed is completed, so history will judge them as heroes.
C!A 101.
Bad History It was in 1965 when LBJ was president when US sent troops to Dominican Republic. LBJ was also Senate Majority Leader when Eisenhower was President.
Residential schools were used in Australia and New Zealand as well.
@TheCynic
All the friends of Babylon copied their tools of oppression including H!tl3r, German colonizers in Namibia, Belgian King in the Congo and South African Apartheid leaders.
I’m not surprised but it’s interesting that dealing with Black Africans the work of colonialism seemed to maintain the rigidity of the class system already in existence much as in India. So education would be already sectioned off for the class system only.
The indigenous populations in Brit Commonwealth counties were educated by a system of schools established by an American military school system started in Pennsylvania.
It’s psychologically repulsive that this regimentalism brought out the neurosis of religious conservatives running them to become brutal rapers, sadistic abusers, and killers of “unequals”.
The Residential School Policy is racist and a human disaster and concluded to be a genocide against indigenous people in Canada by the current Canadian government. Now many Canadians do not celebrate Canada Day.
All precursors to today's Xinjiang societal genocidal concentration camps called re-education centers. All the world's hegemonic empires are enslaving every country & society they can: USA via bombs & PRC via BRIC debt traps. No powerful country has clean hands.
Latin America has been the Ukrane of modern Europe for over 200 year's.
Some analysts predict that the United States and other parts of Europe may experience a significant recession and increase in inflation in 2023. A global recession, which is defined as a drop in annual global per capita GDP, is less common because BRICS and emerging nations frequently grow faster than more developed ones. Fundamentally, the world economy is said to be in a recession if economic growth falls short of population growth. I'm noticing more red than green in my portfolio.

I believe the war in Ukraine 🇺🇦 give people countries a chance to express their frustration with United States 🇺🇸.
So they needed a war to succeed? Sad.
Not hardly. Mass Terrorism against Ukraine has no affiliation or connection to the US. The Orange Revolution was tied to divorce with Putin and alignment with Europe not the US. In fact the US has been adamant as to its not being involved and unwillingness to even allow arming of Ukraine.
that's how it goes with U$, once millions have perished they will start to express frustrations, after that U$ organize some sort of World Aid and invite some rock bands like U2 and everything will be great a success again.
It’s happening in Peru at this very moment. Starting with the jailing of a duly, legally elected President Pedro Castillo jailed last December 07, 2022. Castillo remains in preventive arrest with no legal process to justify that soft coup d’etat in Peru.
Well yes and no, That is more that Peru got a SUPER corrupt goverment after the last dicator rigged it to his benefits.
O iously this also get suport from the US yet they do it more for their sole gain and stay in power.
As Castillo's ONLY CRIME IS A THOUGHT CRIME.
Literally is the reason he was inpeach, the corrupt can inpeach ANYONE fir thought crime if they dont like them
Yes. There is something very fishy about that. Right from the beginning I thought he was set up.
It's not treason if the coup works.
He attempted a coup illegally. By the way, he was elected not cause the majority believed in him but because the majority did not want Keiko president. He only became president due to weak institutions in Peru that did not exclude him and many others that were running for the presidency without proper qualifications. Him and his wife lied about having MA degrees.
Wasn’t he representing indigenous people?
Problem is US intervention often makes the host country even poorer and unstable.
obviously...that's its fucking purpose
You guys bring much needed oxygen to the brain. Merci, merci depuis la France.
From BraSil: The content of this video would be greatly enriched by studying the book "From Marti to Fidel - The Cuban Revolution and Latin America", by the Brazilian political scientist, Luiz Alberto Monis Bandeira, to show the amount of US interventions in the Americas and the Caribbean and the misuse of the OAS (and the UN) by the US. Incidentally, these two Entities MUST have their headquarters removed from the US "urgently", because they are already discredited TOO MUCH.
Hawaii was a country by itself fully recognised by UN. It was first controlled economically by US investors, followed by asking the queen to step down and colonised the country to become part of US.
Asking the queen to step down? She knew her choices: step down AND save her people from annihilation, OR they'd follow the historical roadmap of US treatment of Native Americans=death by starvation, roundups, reservations, etc. Hitler 's Holocaust was modeled after our treatment of native peoples.
U.N. didn't exist when Hawaii became part of the U.S.
Many Americans do not understand why we having floods of immigrants . Hahahahaha
When we lead by arrogance, belligerence and violence you get all this by others.
I am from Latin America, and let me tell you this, with Monroe doctrine or not, the trouble
in our countries is the corruption in all the governments, we have the best land, seas, beaches, vegatation, fresh water, natural resources and more but corruption is endemic.
We count 75 regimes changes since the 1780s that originated from the USA.
As French, I see the USA as a hostile nation, and as a plutocracy or a kleptocracy. I feel we're occupied since 1944.
Who is “we”? Oh you think France is occupied? It is one of the global powers independent of the US. It is very easy for people to pass blame. France does everything it wants including and noticed in Africa on its own without any help from anyone else. also France has more citizens participation. the US has fascism not democracy.
@@jamesmedina2062 it is not. nobody in europe is independent. least of all germany. the french at least sometimes still try. the amount of blackmail, financial extortion. sanctions, is absurd. why do you think the US can scam all of europe regularly by selling fake AAA rated finance derivatives and blowing up the banks or blow up german infrastructure and none of our politicians says a word why about 30% of everything belongs to vanguard and blackrock? why can germany in 2010 demand the US remove its nuclear weapons from german soil and the US just says no? greetings from Switzerland I feel exactly like Mikael
@@jamesmedina2062 it seems that he is talking in general, why attacking few of the people from the west that seem to care and are interested?
@@jamesmedina2062
Do you want to lecture me, about what is France, and what it is not ? What could you possibly know, that I do not ?
France was integrated by traitors in the UE and NATO, even in 2005, we wanted to keep away, and the citizen voted against further integration. Our corrupts managers, made then, another vote, alone, just keeping the people away from deciding again. And then they incorporated us again in NATO. That is not a democracy, check the news nowadays to see the state of French democracy.
Russia is one of our oldest ally, like Scotland, how come we're following The USA in their madness ?
Idem with Serbia, Lebanon, Iran, all of these countries were friendly toward us, and yet we fought them ? Why, we attacked the victims and aided the persecutor ? Against our own interest, we ended up attacking friendly nations, we were closely tied with !
When a nation commits a large scale suicide in a so short period, do you really think it's because it's independent ?
Who cleaned up the past of former Nazi's high rank officials, promoted them in NATO, or EU or funded some universities, so they can promote a rebranded national socialism ?
The USA...
Where our leaders like to study ? USA's universities, for instance Georgetown and the likes.
USA is just as corrupt as France, the state of democracy nearly the same, but who's financing this mess, who spread war, to plague other countries ?
I can give you a hint, only few people or theories that enable this mess come from France...
United States of Hypocrisy
And you benefited.
President can be hypocrate how nation because initially usa produced good leaders television in cold world war destroyed president as they are celebrity

It was with much appreciation for our southern neighbors (I’m married to a first generation Mexican-American) that I ask these questions - admittedly with minimal understanding of inappropriate US invasions into the countries south of the border:
1) If the US is to be blamed for prior military involvement justified by the Monroe Doctrine, is the US still being blamed for the issues currently effecting these countries?
2) If that be the case, then is it the US policies that are responsible for the large numbers of migrants coming to America? 3) All that said, shouldn’t the leaders of the troubled countries where many immigrants are coming from be held accountable and made to be responsible for making their own country desirable to its own citizens? Shouldn’t these leaders address drug cartels, armed militia committing atrocities against their own people?
4) Is the US supposed to not only admit blame for past military injustices carried out with countries to the south, but then indefinitely shoulder the burden of all the citizens who are now fleeing these same countries? When does US responsibility end and the governmental responsibility in the countries south of the border begin?
5) Are the countries south of the US, just seeing the migration of their citizens as a way to take back what was truly unjust, destructive colonial ideologies perpetrated since the 16th century (mind you, the US was not involved at that time but it was Spain)? Shouldn’t the modern nation of Spain be held responsible alongside the US?
6) Weren’t US sanctions levied within the past 10-15 yrs against some of these countries directly enacted to urge these countries to deal with the internal struggles of their nations and the drug trade?
As noted, I am unlearned and appreciate DemocracyNow for airing these kinds of informative videos. I just would like to know more if anyone would care to enlighten me and answer my questions. Thank you:)
Basicly. *YES*
US action and control of the south isnt just MOMENT
But a Constant abuse and struggle.
You can see it most in the 80',whe EVERY DICTATORSHIP the US finance Give up, BUT WITH CONDITIONS, conditions that SHACKLE Each country to the US as their Employee and slave
They would MAINLY traxe on Dollars, US companies get ABSURD Tax cuts, EVERYTHING is privitize, Investogation and judge of ANYONE involve will be prohibited, so not only keep this countries poor, with bad goverment, but also exploit its resources trought privitize companies (China explot this, but withouth Mayor concecions, just tax cuts, thus why most douth countriea "like" China)
And when that was ENOUGH a direct cue will happend, you cann see it with Venezuela, When it tried to become a REAL competent Petro Export (a treath to Dolar power) they sabotage the economy and even try to INVADE it trought private companies or other Corrupt goverment Like Argeninian MACRI (Search Panter plan, an invation trough colombia, backed by the US).
Then you have other like directly bribing politicians like Previous Colombian president, Half of the Actual Peruan congess, Previous Argentinian President, Bolsonaro is in fuckig florida drinkig smoothies for F is sake as Lula was free for is discorver the judge coluded with the prosecurion and THE CIA, to get him in jail, Lula's wife even died Days After a Police Raid in her house, all in bogus and fake charges, coordianted by US intelligence.
And then there is DIRECT military intervention WITHOUTH admtance, Like how the "war on drugs" was more a "Conquest on drugs" as is know most of the present cartel ahve deal with the CIA ans US politicans like the clintons, and in exchange they keep the zone dangerous and tye migrant waves that the US REJECT YET ILLEGAL INMIGRANTS ARE THE MAIN SOURCE OF LABOR.
heck you have trump using ilegals in his hotels, 2 got sht down for that.
Recently was discorverr CONCENTRATION Camps for LEGAL inmigrants, where they where basicly slaves, Legalize slaves, In gorgia.
The intervention NEVER STOP, just become more quiet.
basics: who profits? follow the money.
So glad this is airing. Thank You.
Whenever I mention US imperialism or Monroe Doctrine to my friends they would claim things like... but we are not doing those things anymore. I would like to see an informed discussion about this. Throughout 20th century there were numerous invasions or coups, are current US policies truly so much milder or do we need a distance to see what is really happening right now?
people are morons, they love their slavery in this global feudalist system of insanity, genocyde and slavery
We are doing those things still . It's was the USA and Western Europe that staged and supported the Ukrainian midan coup of 2014.
Why does everyone ignore the effects that the interference and dictates the Monroe Doctrine had on Canada and its politics?
Because America's invasion of Canada resulted in the ten thousand American dead soldiers, New England threatening to secede and Washington in flames. And the border staying exactly were it was before.
@Marek Cracovia Part of the Monroe Doctrine was the belief in Manifest Destiny, which held that the U.S. should have control of all of North America. This belief was behind the war of 1812 and the Alaska purchase, as well as the U.S. belief that they had the right to interfere in any political situation in Latin America that was not in their best interest. It also stated that Europe could not interfere in Latin American political stances. They also influenced Canadian political decisions from that day to this. They are presently contesting Canada's sovreignty in the North.
@Marek Cracovia In June of 1812, the U.S. declared war on Great Britain, and the first action in the war was a British attack on an U.S. fort. I know this story well, because I am Canadian, and I was taught the history. And yes, the British navy was stationed at ports under British dominion in the Caribbean and attacked and occupied New Orleans to weaken trade supply routes. There doesn't seem to be any historical evidence that the U.S. favoured British immigration over any other European nation. So I don't really see your point as it pertains to the Monroe Doctrine and manifest destiny.
CHINA IS PLAYING CHESS WHILE THE USA IS PLAYING CHECKERS.
Monroe doctrine will NEVER be erase, because it was NEVER WRITTEN
It isnt a law, it isnt any type of legislation.
The ONLY time it was written is that letter from the 1800 that ALSO directly adress "Kings" as their enemy, Kings are no more, and has been no more for centuries.
Heck, most políticians WONT define it as defining it limits its use.
What it is, is a EXCUSE, like how 9/11 was use to Invade Iraq.

The Vatican ("Holy See") has already repudiated the Doctrine of Discovery, though IDK if that changes US Court Precedents even if the documents repudiated by the Church were directly cited in the Ruling Judge's opinion. It's (the Court Ruling on the Comstock Act) also handwaved in the opinion how the Comstock Act's restrictions on the mailing of "Obscene Materials" wasn't a First Amendment (discrimination based on content published) issue, which is what the Federal Government is supposed to apply when exercising its Constitutional authority over Interstate Commerce and all the other Regulatory powers it's acquired since then.

A) US had objected strongly, even threatening nuclear war, if Cuba allowed USSR to install military site on Cuban soil ... and yet, US refused to understand why Russia had to object strongly and forced Russia to have to take preemptive military action to prevent Ukraine from becoming a member of NATO
B) US, to safeguard its national interest, had to be in control of Guantanamo Naval Bay and have it separated from Cuba ... and yet, US refused to understand why Russia had to be in control of Crimea too and have it separated from Ukraine.
C) In WWII, it had been decided that one of the terms of the Japanese unconditional surrender was to return back to CHINA what it had stolen from the Chinese people .... namely, Taiwan, Penghu and the various islands, islets, reefs etc., in the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea ... and yet, US refused to understand why CHINA has had to take the necessary measures & actions to safeguard its territorial sovereignty, interest & security over these regions.
Thank you for covering this bit of history.
Hello Carolina!
How're you doing today? I hope that you and your family are enjoying the weekend, and it's a beautiful Saturday morning over here....I’m an online Entrepreneur by profession I trade crypto, forex as well known as Bitcoin. I would love to tell you about my trading platform and how it works that's if you do not mind.
Wow; he is so clear! I want more…
Expect no honor from thieves.
I've done unspeakable things for an ungrateful Nation, you cannot imagine what I'd do for the ones I love. I protected poppy fields only to be sent home and prescribed opiates.
…and people wonder why that there is a crisis at our southern border.
thank u for covering the doctrine of discovery - it should be the headline in every news source! and GO BERNIE🎉
I am conflicted about the Monroe doctrine just as much as I am conflicted by my support of Bernie.
Thank you "Democracy now" for trying to give some education to US citizens.
I’ve been listening to Democracy Now for years now on KPFA radio and never realized until just now that it is also a video 😍Just watched the Harry Belafonte video Wonderful
Putin has over an 80% approval rating, Bernie, doesn't sound like a demigod to me.
The great thing about the Sioux Nation is that they spent centuries living in peace and prosperity with the First Nations that bordered them.
The Crow Nation, for example, never had to concern themselves with military incursions by the Sioux.
Americans can learn a lot from the Sioux and abandon the Monroe Doctrine as part of their national ideology.
A very Great / thru and enlightening conversation.
As a marine I agree.
I hope this will open the eyes of just who and what we are and have further become as a nation. I hope this is a very successful event and an real eye opener to the USA people and spawn us to push our government to change before all the world re-alignment happening now truly destroy us as a nation. America needs to stop being so arrogrant.
It also needs to stop killing millions so it can have Geopolitical Imperialistic World Dominance of the 💲 Dollar ! 🇷🇺💲🇨🇳
Destructive US military interventions in Central America resulted in death squads, civil war and poverty and civil meheim today, particular in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. As a US citizen, I feel responsible.
The United States of America should strongly impose the " Monroe Doctrine " in Southeast Asia. According to Article 3 of the " Treaty of Paris of 1898 " the Philippines in Southeast Asia is owned by the U.S.A. and acknowledged by the 1935 Philippine Constitution and by the revised 1973 Philippine Constitution and the present 1987 Philippine People Power Constitution in Article 2 Declaration of Principles and State Policies section 3 of the 1973 Philippine Constitution and the section 2 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution that the Philippines adopts international law as a general principles as part of the law of the land .... the Treaty of Paris of 1898 is an international law.
Here it comes another psycho 🙄

Great segment DN. Have a part 2 in the near future that reports on the conference.
Bernie Sanders, minimum wage is $15 an hour, Flagstaff, AZ, Bernie Sanders Campaigned there, I survived 5 seasons sleeping outside next to the Prison, Coconino County
Important information and very sad.
Agree 💯!
Interesting! It's brilliant to have a financial analyst when investing! In a nutshell, with the assistance of my analyst Joseph Sullivan Anderson, I've amassed approximately 6 figures from an initial 4 figure investment thus far. During the recession, I was having an investing nightmare before consulting with an analyst.
Ending the hipocracy of supporting Ukraine when we have behaved like Russia toward countries on our border . Well maybe we can understand also.
Thanks for educating me, good talk.
Your broadcast has helped me to figure out how to engage the use of this cell phone.

The Monroe doctrine was supposed to allow us to keep relationships close and warm and friendly while seeing no unwanted influence in the hemisphere that would threaten us! It was allways yhere to be a reason to maintain relationships not destroy them!
American Neo Cons have destroyed Millions in death , poverty and Starvation Sanctions since time and it still continues today ! 🇷🇺💲🇨🇳
like you know the intent of the fuckers signing these things? that's laughable
Please run for President Nick, we need you 💘
For United States Citizens it is called Eminent Domain, they take all, part , what they want to build a road, or some stupid thing, paying you less if anything what it is worth.
Good points!
Let's be reminded that private property does not exist in US, CAN, UK, AUS, NZ and other countries
Who are the culprits?
Are they the indigenous people, their tribal and territorial competition, cultures, ...?
Is it Catholics, Protestants, others?
When did Catholic church alter the recognition of indigenous peoples to having souls, being humans and forbided slavery?
Is it greed, power, dominance, gold, lands, resources, and perpetual revenues, who were the players, planners, beneficiaries?
Why?
It's a Big topic spanning recent 500 years, and from recorded to immemorial human history.
For an easier, tangible grasp of bit of history by broad to narrower facts:
I.e, Ask the North American First Nations people's and treaties from 1600 to present and especially after 1763 and 1776. The lands swindled in various ways and means from indigenous/ FNP East to West. Labelled as chartered lands or 'purchases' then granted to Dutch, English, French, 'colonies' A,B,C,D,E,etc. Later each divided into areas, plots of land 'sold' / 'homestead' to new settlers. Those lands were levied by taxes, annually, of late quarterly plus interest / usury, and fees.
Essentially all a form of chattel serfdom and slavery. Resulting in burdens to owners and renters no matter type of property
Governments through to local state, provincial, county, parish, city and town can seize private property and evict owner, renters. The latter is a basic cause of landless, house-less / homelessness. Thus sanctuary of place is as precarious as it was and is for indigenous peoples.
Obviously, besides debts do to mortgages, equity loans, reverse mortgages, credit-cards, car loans, gambling, poor choices.
As Major General Smedley D Butler, USMC spoke on, and 1935 wrote "War is a Racket".
It holds true, Internationally and Domestically; both are based on Private Profits but Socialised Losses. Only difference are the nomenclature and uniforms of the hit-men & women.
It's a BIG CLUB, but you, me and 97% of humanity ain't in it. Paraphrased from George Carlin
The doctrine continues and yet the US has the gall to condemn Russia for the same behavior.
We know by now the brutality of Christianity. It has caused more harm than all wars combined.
We are comparing a period of time to the present which is misleading. Our history, right and wrong, was of a time when attempts were being made to form a new nation. We were and are now not perfect. Nation building is not an east task. And self interest is paramount though always just. But as any nation, we can and must admit our mistakes and attempt to correct past malfeasance.
Native Americans had their land stolen, slavery plagued America, racism, anti-cultural prejudice of immigrants, all these thing are our heritage.
As long as there is a will there is a possibility to correct and change course. And change is imperative for growth. Other nations have much longer histories. Our is only 247 short years. We must admit mistakes and make changes or fail and be witness to our own demise. Manifest destiny is over. Multi-lateral sovereignty is the future.
There is one planet to be shared by all. The Moon and Mars or any other solar body will not save us. Here and now is our opportunity to make choices we ALL can live with.
Have no problem with the monroe document. But if you declare your self Don of the Ameticas then lift up the Ameicas and not EUROPE. Open all Boarders of the americas like Europa. Form an American Union and build up this region. Or take Monroe Document and flush it down the toilet.
muchas gracias, pero no // obrigado, mas não

Damn you missing the point. What you just described in your post the Monroe doctrine was written to prevent all that . Preventing the empowerment of these poor countries in central , south America and the Caribbean.. do you know the Monroe doctrine was written because of the Haitian revolution. To prevent other poor countries in central and south America and the Caribbean from rising up against the white oppressors . It's an oppressive document.
It’s called imperialism, not that you will be ever see it taught in school in the US
I heard the Prime Ministar of Grenada, Maurice Bishop, speaking in London and saying, "We want a non-aggression pact with the USA -- if they don't inade us, we will not invade them."

I'm a mexican young, I see the new vision of a new monroe doctrine more agressive (cause of the decadent american empire) and my country need an awakening to prepare of a politics more agressive for the part of the EU, democrats or republicans are the same in a State politics
Is there a true democracy or a fake democracy, when the laws can be compromised?
Listening to Bernie Sanders is more effective than taking any sleeping pills.😴😴😴

Hahaha you're correct..he all talk. Nothing else.
