How American culture based on the person was destroyed and replaced with hedonistic corporate values? Chris Hedges.

He saw first hand how Gazans were being killed by Israelis. He spent 20 years of his life as a war correspondent. This is what he has learned. He's a great speaker. From Jo.
He refused to be embedded in Iraq, and Dick Cheney had him on a list of reporters to be captured. Later he was captured by the Iraqis.
The poison that war does to individuals and societies is hard to take in. Hellfire Missiles suck all the oxygen out of the air and suffocate people with untouched bodies. The power of modern weapons is incalculable. The USA has killed more civilians in Afghanistan and decapitated more people with remotely fired weapons than ISIS ever has.
You never see the soldiers, the rage, the sense of impotence, 24 hour circling drones. Violence destroys human life, economic life, social life. You destroy your own culture first, reducing people to a moronic level, losing touch with their humanity. War utterly upends the human and other values you believed in, went in to fight for.
It's a telling catalogue of disaster. The Taliban won in Afghanistan. Further violence will only make things worse. Yet the wars have created a situation in the Middle East where violence is the only language that's understood.
i just stumbled on a real fab website

He is a good speaker,and it makes compelling listening,but he keeps refering to "we" and "our" when he should be saying "their"- meaning the Jews who occupy and control America with an iron grip
ReplyDeleteMy nephew was saying over lunch, hes been in the army some years now, it was the only work he could get as foregners had all the rest.
ReplyDeleteHe said that the troops guard the poppy crops these are havested and taken away the troops are not allowed to speak to the harvesters
but the Israelis under operation Shalom flood the streets of the USA with these drugs to make money, he said these drugs are now flooding our towns and cities too
Why dont we just bring our boys home and tell the israelis to fuck off.
Bear in mind that Chris Hedges is a columnist for AlterNet, which receives a substantial donation from George Soros.
ReplyDeleteHedges is also a fellow at the "National Institute", also a Soros front. Obviously, Hedges is a man with an agenda approved by George Soros.
managed opposition?
ReplyDeleteAnon 3:00pm. It's the same in the UK, Foreigners have taken over the Companies that employ people.
ReplyDeleteGuess what, having taken over, they only employ their own kind, because they can understand them.
Many of my friends have had to join the army because the jobs have been removed from the locals.
The soldiers are now having to look after the Poppy scam.
One of my friends got seriously injured, he says " the army have disowned him and do not want to know about his injuries".
This is a typical story there are others.
