@Allison Bauch I agree. The version of hope most people cling to has been called "hopeium". When I think about hope I think of two quotes: “Hope has two beautiful daughters. Their names are anger and courage; anger at the way things are, and courage to see that they do not remain the way they are.” -- St Augustine “Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out. It is the ability to work for something because it is good, not because it stands a chance to succeed.” --Vaclav Havel, former dissident and first president of the Czech Republic.

And you think Hillary Clinton and her corporate globalist agenda would be best for humanity? Sir, do you understand what corporate globalism is? The entire world is moving away from corporate globalism and it's agenda of governance by means of unelected elitist bureaucrats appointed by the Rothschild private central banks and the mega corporations. Donald Trump is leading that way. Please do not confuse him and the "current" U.S. with the old corporate globalist minions such as Barack Obama, the Bushes and the Clintons. Each individual nation's sovereignty will be respected in this new world that is about to unfold. Please don't be fooled into believing that China is leading the way to a more sovereign and democratic world. China was created by the same corporate globalists that tore Serbia up over 20 years ago, and is still meddling in Serbia, Kossovo, etc. China is still run by the Communist party which serves that country as a board of directors would serve a mega corporation. There is absolutely no democracy, none whatsoever, in China. The Chinese people are a smart and a good people. They too need to rise up and throw the shackles of their authoritarian government off, like Russia, which had communism imposed on it by the corporate globalists in 1917, did. Behind the scenes my friend, Presidents Putin and Trump are working together to rid this world of that corporate globalist menace.

Those claiming a supernatural beginning have a much worse problem. Natural forces exist. They can be demonstrated. Not one supernatural force or event has EVER been demonstrated, not once in history. So until that changes, 'supernatural' is off the table. Ever been to a party? a gathering of friends? Did it end? So why even bother going if it's going to end one day?

Jonathan Cook he's a great speaker but he borders on being a dramatist. He takes truths, corporate influence in democracy, imbeciles in bureaucracy, military industrial complex, and the influences and protections of the wealthy, but he turns these up to 11 and concludes "the US will not exist in 10 years", and Davos will choose and become the rulers of the fascist super structure that rises from the ashes. My dad worked for a company who's owner attended Davos. He's not an illuminati who makes the real choices behind the facade of democracy. He's just a wealthy business owner who has influence in economic policy, too much influence (not him personally but as a group) probably. I've read 2 of Hedges books, listen to his speeches. He should not be a civic leader. He's misleading and destroying faith in institutions that are not obsolete or too weak to rejuvenate our country. Orwell gave a vision of where democracy can go if it's not tended too, he did not falsely state the United States was 10 years from being Oceania.

It can choose to be, or it can become an oligarchy. It has chosen the path of the latter. And that is why the USA will be gone, split into little warring states in 10 years. The ultra wealthy, the small fascist fraction* will make sure of that as they strip away what's left of the nation's soul and wealthy. * Rothschilds, Waltons, Koch Brothers, etc.

Contact. Careful reading of Orwell will show that he was against ALL ideologues INCLUDING Demock-rats AND Demockery, he was also right about America becoming Oceania, but that wasn't hard, seeing as it REALLY happened in 1947.

Chris Hedges' public discourse is simply brilliant, and he convincingly and thoroughly, and completely exposes all America's international criminal acts, and the unlawful invasions, and occupation of foreign countries under false pretexts. He articulates the issues and the failures of American democracy, economy, and its decline military power so powerfully and honestly . His address was superb and par excellence . Hopefully the Democrats and Republicans would listen and learn from this public lecture on how to govern the country.

One of the best speeches ever!! Chris Hedges is the GOAT!

Brilliant, completely on-target, and echoes everything and more that many of us have no doubt been realizing for at least a couple of decades, if not more. Thank you for this, Chris Hedges, you courageous humanitarian.

Chris Hedges is spot on: he’s identified the situation alright, only his solution of ‘Resistance’ is presented exclusively in the Christian context. Hardly helpful when this ‘evil’ that must be overcome is something like orthodox satmar fundamentalism and isreali zionism. This type of evil must be fought with its own weapons.

He is deceptive. Chris Hedges is pushing belief in "climate change" which should tell you all you need to know about who he works for. This is no friend to America. The leftist are trying desperately to collapse the country so they can bring in their global utopian nightmare. Don't believe the hype. Trump was elected with overwhelming support because Americans realized the fascism that had infiltrated their country over the previous Obama years. While the problem is not partisan, it is ideological. Fascism, socialism, communism are all LEFTIST ideologies. The right supports LIBERTY, the left is pushing TYRANNY and they will lie, steal and go to any lengths to trick you. Wake up America, these people are not your friends.

Chris Hedges is an amazing truth speaker and human being. God bless him!

You’re right about everything you’ve aver said, good sir. My brain is bigger bc of Chris Hedges, & others like him. ✊

Chris Hedges is a good & wise man. I'd listen if & when he speaks.

Mr. Hedges, I have been a study of yours for over 15 years. THank you again. And now, I'm taking history classes and your comparison on the fallen empires' overreach is so relevant. I hope one day to be so eloquent in discussing these topics. Thank you. Widely sharing.

I will share, share, and share this important message. Thanks!!

Brilliant! Clear, concise, crisp, factual, historically accurate, ....SAD. Thank you for clarifying what I knew but was not able to express. I will study and listen to this over and over again.

I really feel for Chris Hedges on a personal level. Unlike say Blyth, or Chomsky, whom seem to revel in being intellectual bad boys, Hedges seems to be at heart a very conservative man in the true sense of the word, driven to the extremes by the rabid greed and sociopathic nature of mainstream politics. The corruption of it seems to visibly torture him. It takes a special kind of courage to take an unpopular stand like he does.

Chris is a morally autonomous and socially mature being who has transcended 'conservative' and 'liberal'. And this speech is from an intellectual giant and a brutally honest member of homo sapiens - which is rapidly approaching its shelf life as a species. But this John Coltrane-torrent of ideas may be over estimating how well-read the majority of us may be, or how much we can cognitively handle, minute-by-minute. Meh, maybe I am just confessing my own limits Would love to hear a dummy's guide to Chris Hedges, a bit of a sparser Miles Davis approach, with enough empty space between ideas to give this dummy a chance to fill in the gaps for myself. Have read only a fraction of his many references, much less channeled them to the point of spiritual cleansing and action. Thank god for KZread videos, the pause button, and replay.

@David Chorak He describes it dramatically, but if it sounds like doom it is because shit is pretty bad. It's to avoid downplaying how bad it is. And it is not being a star eyed idealist to point it out. Regarding China, if i can agree with Tucker Carlson that those senators deserve jail, you can reach it. An authocrat government is ultimately shit. But they didn't sell their system piecemiel for votes. When 2008 came you could have an organised response (a lot of shit was built very quickly). Same now w/ the virus . Which, even if it is downplayed, cannot have reached the proportions of Italy or Spain. Granted i'm loose w/ the word preacher.

Even when I read a Hedges article, I hear his oratory tone, his resonance is eloquent and stylized of that of speakers of our recent past. And I adore it. It brings the filth of the topic to a state worthy of digesting. It flings mud at the guilty, while making the accused 'feel' lower than otherwise would. Bravo, once again, Mr Hedges.

Same here. However I still will vote for President Trump before I would vote for the left. President Trump has just made a statement about the wars and that we have no place in that part of the world. We should not be policing anyone. Im at least holding faith in my Lord Jesus Christ that the prayers that went up to the heavens would help us heal our lands and our hearts and that he would forgive us. Only he can turn this ship around and its going to take us working together. The things I hear like global warming and carbon footprint I think of how many years its been used to get money to further global New World Order takeovers and the ones that brought it to us is the very ones that called us to war. We can't start or stop the global warming or weather that has seasonal changes always different from year to year but the studies show its got a pattern and its always the same in its changes over the decades. The twisted of what is good is bad and right is wrong and up is down. However out of this has been seen and it would not have been seen if we didn't have President Trump to show us the hypocrisy and enslavement of our people and the need to spread our love to our people everywhere even if its not safe because if we don't give our love to the ones that are lost and in despair we will lose this and I'm seeing the conversation begin and the outreach of our people wanting to help each other and Thats the unity that makes us stronger and gives us the strength to prevail and forgiveness is what we work towards everyday and to not give up especially in the face of oppression and suppression of our own people. If we stay distant from those that are over the top the more they will grow even more with people that feel badly and if one is bigger than that anger and is willing to reach out and ask them to forgive us from our failures and maybe they can see that we did not know that what they had gone through might be different from ours and they can open up to wanting to know what happened to you and why you feel your way and that is the opening of what is needed to be done to start to heal. God Bless

I, for one , am willing to sacrifice all that I have to resist the evil elites. If it takes rebellion to do so, then so be it.
