Chris Hedges Sits Down With Bill Moyers

In one of the most pointed, sweeping and personal public conversations about Chris Hedges' life and work yet, Bill Moyers speaks with the journalist after the release of "Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt," the book Hedges co-authored with fellow reporter and artist Joe Sacco. The 50-minute conversation is followed by a segment on Sacco, who talks about the thinking and experiences that moved him to become a "comics journalist."

My proletarians!

Those greedy corporations think the occupy movement is over. No it's not. We are the 99% are still here. Occupy Wall Street movement is still going strong. There will be more protests for our socialist cause. One day the occupy movement will reclaim our areas until our mantra will be heard. Down with Wall Street. Down with corporate favortism with the U.S. government. They would do anything to twist and turn our constitution to create their pre-facist nation of America.

My brothers and sisters, by the spirit of Guy Fawkes, our chains of ecomonic opression will be over soon. Make your voice known all over American and the rest of the world. Let us end those corporations and anyone who supports it. We are the 99% will stop feeding the pigs and corporations fail! Thuse proletariat business will begin. Our message is clear the 1% will never rule our free country and destroy main street. Keep corporations out of governments and one day our children will live prosperity where they never go hungry again.



WE ARE THE 99%

WE ARE THE 99%

WE ARE THE 99%

Here's what I don't get about the "Occupy" movement.

It's clearly a left-wing movement.

How can the Occupy movement continually blast "Wall Street" when one of the pro-Obama crowd's greatest bragging rights is that the "stock market doubled" during his Presidency?

How can the Occupy movement be "leftist" when they don't hold the Democratic Party's feet to the fire about big Democratic Corporate donors paying little to nothing in taxes, like GE, Westinghouse, and others?

1) Exxon Mobil made $19 billion in profits in 2009. Exxon not only paid no federal income taxes, it actually received a $156 million rebate from the IRS, according to its SEC filings.

The list goes on and on.....
Granted, some of these companies contribute more to Republicans than Democrats, some don't. Some contribute more to Democrats than Republicans. But that's not the point.

The point is ..... call out politicians who
accept money from companies who
pay no taxes and get a pass for it.
No matter what Party they are affiliated with.
One, the other, or both.
Paying no taxes = Paying no taxes, no matter who's side youre on.


SO, let me ask... Is the Occupy movement truly against
"Corporations that pay no taxes", or is it simply just another front against Republicans?

[JBMcB]

My brothers and sisters, by the spirit of Guy Fawkes, our chains of ecomonic opression will be over soon.

So you are a Jesuit movement intent on overthrowing the Protestant ruling class and installing a Catholic monarch?

'Cause that was the "spirit" of Guy Fawkes.

How Do You Take Your Poison?


"Obama is not in charge. Romney would not be in charge. Politicians are the public face of corporate power. They are corporate employees. Their personal narratives, their promises, their rhetoric and their idiosyncrasies are meaningless. And that, perhaps, is why the cost of the two presidential campaigns is estimated to reach an obscene $2.5 billion. The corporate state does not produce a product that is different. It produces brands that are different. And brands cost a lot of money to sell.

You can dismiss those of us who will in protest vote for a third-party candidate and invest our time and energy in acts of civil disobedience. You can pride yourself on being practical. You can swallow the false argument of the lesser of two evils. But ask yourself, once this nightmare starts kicking in, who the real sucker is." -Chris Hedges

This is not about 9/11 but rather the Global Financial Meltdown.

Inside Job: The Biggest Bank Heist Ever! | HD

The award winning documentary 'Inside Job' [2011 | US] by the veteran crusader, Charles Ferguson is the most insightful and illuminating amongst a number of such attempts that deal with the global financial crisis, which is wrecking lives and economies across the world to this day.

The reason is that it successfully challenges the myths and lies surrounding the root causes of the crisis and tells us exactly how and why it happened, in a simple and straightforward way that anyone can understand.

Capitalism Is Not In Crisis. Capitalism Is The Crisis [[Full Movie)

Capitalism Is The Crisis: Radical Politics in the Age of Austerity examines the ideological roots of the "austerity" agenda and proposes revolutionary paths out of the current crisis. The film features original interviews with Chris Hedges, Derrick Jensen, Michael Hardt, Peter Gelderloos, Leo Panitch, David McNally, Richard J.F. Day, Imre Szeman, Wayne Price, and many more!

The 2008 "financial crisis" in the United States was a systemic fraud in which the wealthy finance capitalists stole trillions of public dollars. No one was jailed for this crime, the largest theft of public money in history.

Instead, the rich forced working people across the globe to pay for their "crisis" through punitive "austerity" programs that gutted public services and repealed workers' rights.

Austerity was named "Word of the Year" for 2010.

This documentary explains the nature of capitalist crisis, visits the protests against austerity measures, and recommends revolutionary paths for the future.

Special attention is devoted to the crisis in Greece, the 2010 G20 Summit protest in Toronto, Canada, and the remarkable surge of solidarity in Madison, Wisconsin.

It may be their crisis, but it's our problem.

There's no crisis that capitalists can't get out of if the working class is willing to pay for it.

Communism / Government ownership of everything?
