These are pretty cool speeches, this guy correctly identifies racism as an inherent part of the system to justify taking control of other countries markets, and to kid American workers into thinking they have more in common with billionaires at home than workers in Iraq. Also gives graphic accounts of murder and torture in Iraq by US troops.

Indeed. Good videos. Thank you for posting.

yeah i listned to the whole winter soldier confrence on the radio very deep and very moving especaily the testimony of the parents.

[RedHal]

I haven't listened to all the testimonies, but from the ones that I have listened to this is the only guy that actually learned something from his experience. A lot of them still have the illusion of the US empire and it's military enforcer.

The most tragic is the naivite of most ppl who join the US military, they talk about their loss of humanity. They have not learned anything from Vietnam.

[Comrade Castro]

Soldiers at the conference tell the truth about the "friendly US troops" in Iraq.

Brutal.

[BIG BROTHER]

very interesting, too the burgoise media is too busy publishing propagada against Cuba and Venezuela to show the truth about the US imperialism.

too bad most of the young poor people in the US don't know about this.

I thought one of the most interesting parts of Mike Prysner's speech was when he talked about not defending "his" unit against the detainee but defending the detainee against "his" unit.

These are the kind experiences that are going to break millions of workers from their loyalty to "their" state. It is then only a short but vital political step from refusing to defend "their" state to attacking it. Revolution!

This is how the imperialist will forge their own grave diggers, in the heat of war brought on by the economic collapse.

This guy is currently a candidate to represent some district in Florida in the House. He's with the Party of Socialism and Liberation. I wonder what his politics were before he joined the army.

[chegitz guevara]

I know Mike. He's a good comrade. I've known him for a little over a year. Used to be a guy of few words, but he's found his voice recently. He's running for Congress in the 22nd District here in Florida for the Party of Socialism and Liberation. He spoke last night at the ANSWER demo in Fort Liquordale. Bastard did such a good job I didn't have anything left to say when I got up to speak.
