Chris Hedges: Our Militarized State

[marmar]

From Chris Hedges' "Days of Revolt" speech on Link TV. Control of the Totalitarian state.

1. Hedges is our best public critic of the falling corporate state.

Here is a guy who reported on evil wars (most manipulated by USA state department, etc.) all over the world, for years,. who has rightly turned his attention to the 'turning inward' of the state's military control systems,.. as the system crumbles and empire fails the force is used on us here at home, to maintain 'control',. or to enslave the working classes.

2. and correctly has pointed out the role of the "liberal class"...

...in perpetuating the empire over the last century.

4. He speaks the truth people really don't want to hear.

Because they don't know what to do about it.
It is easier to chose one of the two sides we are offered and think that they will solve it...but they don't and they won't because they are good cop and bad cop all working for the same men, and with the same goal...t control you.

But every problem has a solution but first we have to convince the people we have a problem and this guy does it better than anyone.

5. they will keep us distracted..by the miniscule differences between candidates

or sordid sex scandals..or whatever it takes to keep our eyes diverted from the fact that we are screwed and only by acknowledging that can we even begin to change it

[zeemike]

6. And we may have to hit bottom before that.

Or at least very near bottom....but I do see hope because more and more people are wakening up...mostly the young.

7. Hedges is great I agree with most of what he says but

I'm starting to take it with a pinch of salt because he can be such a doomsayer sometimes. I think he's largely correct but there has always been police political repression in the US. Since the beginning. It's not really anything new.
