Like Bernie, he speaks truth to power and he isn't in it for the fucking money.

There are some who would tear him down, glad to hear we agree!

..and they are dishonest cowardly assholes. Mind you, I don't always agree with Chris. (I only agree with him 99% of the time) But he is uncompromising, honest and doesn't pull his punches. And he cares; he's not in this for profit or glory. I respect that; it's what we need.

These guys never ring false.

I have one more Hedges video to post today...it's depressing because it's so damned true. He refuses to put a happy face on our circumstances. More power to him, more power to us...we must act.

work. The circle of self-affirming suppositions.

Hedges has to stick to his shtick since he got caught plagiarizing & lost all cred--he's stuck on the fringe wheel, getting crumbs tossed to him from the old orthodox reactionary left that gets shivers when someone despises the USA.

you know, the Obama-hating, on-your-knees-for-Putin crowd

eye roll.

but POTUS candidates state things, inherently FALSE, and they remain in the 'news' UNTIL a small item is posted telling people what a bloody lie it was.
The TIME these items are allowed to remain is another problem with todays media.

If we don't put an end to the corporate oligarchy our lives will be forfeit, the environment plundered and poisoned. We can not allow this to continue, we must grow up and resist. We only have about 4 more years before it will be beyond hope or changing in any meaningful way.

We are running out of time.

I seem to be in a small circle of company...

I'm kicking again to see if anyone is interested in their history, lest they repeat it again...

The thread stats on all three video postings yesterday are astonishing....we are NOT alone!
