- Guam is a virtual US colony, whose residents have been denied the rights afforded to other Americans, says professor David Vine

This is very accurate. I'm born, raised and live on Guam.
I am not nearly as educated as Mr. Vine in this topic, but being born and raised in Hawaii, I think that Guam should embrace their “distance” that they have. It keeps the culture alive. The Hawaiian culture is slowly deteriorating. It’s just sad that Guam is just another barrier of harm to the US wayyyy out in the middle of nowhere. Peace and love to fellow islanders.
Hawaii is out there also. People have choises
2020 I love my little island of GUAM 671 🇬🇺
Very informative, thank you David and all the team at TRNN.
*Thank you very much for providing this information in your video.*
Anyone remember the chagos ppl and what happened to their land?
He was on point. He know his shit
Korean posturing turns out to be just that, posturing. Korean meatballs are too small to unify and take Guam.
Guam? Oh, I thought we were talking about Guantanamo Bay. But we now live in the post-colonial world where more subtle means are used to control strategic locations and protect US interests. Even if the natives become independent in name, the US (or some other neocolonial power) will make sure it stays dependent in practice. Diego Garcia comes to mind.
There are islands with autonomy in the surrounding region. I don't think there will be a real threat of colonization other then the current colonial power.
David must be so excited/annoyed that everyone is talking about Guam rightnow.
This guy's really having a tough time being coherent and giving this interview.
thanks for this, some time ago I read another one of his books - Island of Shame:The Secret History of the U.S. Military Base on Diego Garcia - and that was when I first got a real sense of US military presence abroad. his work is essential to understanding the magnitude of the problem of American imperialism; like he said, Americans call Guam 'US territory' when it is actually the textbook definition of a colony
Oh isn't he just D Vine!
Good report Real News. It brings attention to our long standing policy of imperialism in the name of our exceptionalism. I am quite sure there are many Hawaiians and Puerto Ricans who are second class citizens in their own land.Yet my fellow countrymen point their finger toward Crimea? Russian Imperialism and interference? The USA has eclipsed even Great Britain in terms of its world wide ambition. Maybe such insight would cause us to pull in our horns? Or we can pursue the ambitions of the last bloody century with ever more vigor? David Vine lays the case bare enough for those who would promote human decency to discern that the USA has a history of waging offensive war which stretches back long before Syria, Iraq, Libya , and Afghanistan. It was during the Spanish American war that the term White Man's burden was used as justification. My illusions were crushed during the Vietnam War. Our prosperity comes at what cost?
Bruce Campbell Dude, ask Guam if they don’t want us there. We don’t colonize like other countries. Guam’s love is there. We give them jobs, millions in benefits, American businesses, and protection. They would rather be a state break from the US.
Guåhan, remains a colony of the U.S. and has repeatedly ignored the decision of the U.N. regarding respecting and granting Guåhan, and it's rightful people, self determination. The sentiment of remaining under colonial rule, and the choice of political determination, is approaching. Educational literature, town hall discussions, media coverage, on the basic choices being proposed, are in place and ongoing. The choices offered, are Self Determination, Independence, & Statehood. It is my dream and desire, to have the archipelago of the Marianas Islands, United under one Commonwealth, we were put into this world to live life, not colonial rule.
thank you for this report/history lesson Real News! David Vine looks familiar I wonder if Abby Martin or John Pilger has interviewed him or if he's corresponded with Media Lens or Media Lens has posted stuff from him on their facebook page. anywho Guam, American Samoa, The Marshall Islands, and other territorories controlled by the US, or UK are worthy of Abby Martin to do an excellent documentary for the Empire Files or John Pilger (check out his film the Coming War on china and stealing a nation). Free Guam, Puerto Rico, Marshall Islands, and all occupied territories and end colonialism on them and give land rights and nationhood back to the Native Americans, Hawaiians, Alaskans, First Nation Canadians, Maoris and the Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islanders.
That narrator during the black and white footage of Guam does not have the Local Chamorro Accent.
Did I hear right--4:50-4:54--Did David say that "Washington D.C" is one of those territories in a "colonial relationship with the USA? Is the good professor saying that Washington DC is NOT the capital of the USA?
Washington,District of Columbia is indeed the capital of United States. Sadly it’s people are treated as second class citizens just as the people of the five regular U.S. territories.It’s actually a Federal territory of United States. The majority of its inhabitants (86 Percent) support statehood for D.C. They have been struggling for it,knowing that if their homeland becomes a state they will start being treated as first class citizens as the 50 present U.S. states. I personally favor statehood for the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. I believe that they should become the 51st and 52nd U.S. states.
"The US liberated Guam from Japan": translation: the US invaded and occupied Guam.
Hey it’s better than the Japanese occupation. I’d say they reclaimed Guam.
Nah guam was originally a spanish territory together with the philippines and puerto rico and this island was used to be ruled spanish colonial government based in manila due spanish aamerican war this island was sold to american for the price of 20 million dollars because the spaniards doesn't want to put their empire into shame by surrendering to the imdians of the island so in treaty of paris they sold intead they sold the island to americans in order to use this as a base due to their manifest destiny policy
Some interesting observations, but very little "history" of Guam. The Spanish were there for a long time, then the US in 1898.
Leave the locals alone devils
Aloha from Hawaii remember Pearl Harbor ?
Government Under American Military-GUAM🤫
Estados Unidos y Inglaterra son los paises más buenos del mundo y nunca han echo daño a nadie .Nunca han colonizado a nadie ,al contrario los colonizados están muy contentos de haber sido colonizados lo tienen todo gratis .
I was on Guam from '86-'88. During that year and a half I never met one Guamanian that expressed dissatisfaction at me being there from the mainland. Guam might be different in status from a state, like California, but the difference is on paper. US bases overseas are needed and contribute vast sums of money to the local economies. This man would be the first talking head to criticize "lack of foresight and preparedness by NOT having bases abroad."
the rocket from korea dont mean jack pupu self determination must go on rain or shine its our right as chamoru people dont be misled by all this lost souls trying hard to confuse us we must decide our destination whether its independence,status quo ,statehood or commonwealth it does not matter lets not be denied our self determination.disisionta jan dirichota kumu manchamoru hit munga na uta fan inkubukao impottanti na ta chogui esti para i man mamamaila na famaguonta.i hafa humujongta ti prisisu lao dirichota i parata uta disidi i madititminatta.chamori hao na finaniagu monga maletki i ubligasionmu.
US Empire. UGH
9:04 But isn't Puerto Rico majority countries white? May be the idea of white people in US is English people of European descent but Spanish speaking people of European descent are also white.
I am all for Guam, but comparing Cuba to Guam is not accurate. You forge t e Cubans today are fleeing their previous government. After America left. Be careful what you wish for. This island is thee most resilient of all the colonies in my opinion. They can do it, and achieve what they ask but it will take time.
Oh, pish posh.
"best not" funny obama would never have constructed it that way
What if people of Guam wants to be independent from U.S.?
Not going to happen. Too dependent on food stamps and the governor owns the grocery stores.
maybe youd be a prouder patriot of a different empire eh
oh trust me we do
The chamorros that trying to be independent what do you have to protect the island do you have a military big enough to protect the island and to support the people you chamorros should remember if it was,nt for the us liberating the island from the Japanese you champers who trying to go independent should think twice cause you would be living the way your living now if another country was to take over Guam I'm a chamorro myself and I rather have us on the island side than any other country to be a slave for them ww2 is a example of how the chamorros were treated by the Japanese and look at others country's how there living there gov is not doing much for there people and for bordello she a straight out democrat who still trying to go against trump plan with here lefties in the white house
#GuamanianIndependence #ChamorroSelfDetermination
Blowback
Good on ya'...but amazing the speaker could ramble through almost 14 minutes of video and avoid the clearly applicable term of 'imperialism'.... US bases are part of the projection of American imperial power and strategy. Why not just spit it out instead of couching the language in euphemisms like 'spear' and so forth. Will never understand these milquetoast presentations.
feminine liberal college professor? hmmmmmmm
He's an extreme leftist spewing out vomit...He's anti America soft power infiltrating a university...once again another extremist wearing a halo downing the advantages of GUAM being protected by the most powerful country in the world. KIM JUNG UN should decide war is over and he should get with it and rehabilitate his own country it would be nice for the Korean War to go away... war is evil.
Wow Charles, just wow, we aren't in the early 2000's anymore, keep up with the times
Contrary to the sentiment of this video, most of us guamanians are proud patriots and loyal us citizens.
Zombie Phish The video doesn't suggest otherwise, and you know that.
patriots, but within a colonial mindset.
They also dont pay federal taxes...
It’s ok. We love you guys back. We got your back. Kim wouldn’t dare attack America.
Guam belongs to the Philippines!
No it don’t
I've heard it in the past was a Filipino prison colony at one time....like Australia was to GB.
Actually Guam and Hawaii are belong to Maharlikans now the Philippines today..
True ba? kaso ayaw ng mga taga -Guam kaya sorry ka na lang
@@gashiyumi3124 sorry kana Lang din pero Ang lupain Ang tinutukoy nya Hindi Ang mga Tao dun
Guam ang Hawaii are belong to Maharlikans now the Philippines .. The US did not return to the Philippines because of stratigic location of of the two Islands..
Let's go to Guam and watch the best fireworks In the world. What, UV higher than Mexico City?
Whiners I guess the US should have just left it to Japan?
