The arrest and detention of Mahmoud Khalil, Columbia University graduate and leader in the anti-genocide student movement, signals a dark shift in American politics with deep legal implications.
How come no talk about AIPAC and it's influence on the people we elect into office, which determines our political agenda in regard to Israel, like giving a thumps up to their genocidal rampage in Gaza and assisting them in implementing it by providing the bombs to to destroy a people. After a short lull where maybe a 100 were killed more then 400 were slaughtered in a day, and mostly women and children. Netanyahu made the threat that things will be worse then they were before. Perhaps the arrest of this young man comes before a bigger storm and the message is, shut up, you have no say in what we do, a message from Israel and the US.
No talk about AIPAC because they ruin the careers or shut those dissidents down. And the rest are paid to be there in the first place. The lobbies’ tentacles actually stretch to other western countries.
I’ve passed this interview on to everyone I know despite their discomfort of the topic. It’s a proactive action against this US regime. We the ppl have a responsibility
The more I learn about Mahmoud Khalil the more I believe they chose the wrong man to use to exercise or test out their authoritarian playbook. We can’t afford to let them win this. Thank you Chris for showing us this.
Dems have been weaponizing law into lawfare for some time thinking about their rulings as gold coins while inflating them into Zimbabwe dollars, good only for starting fire.
not one mention of the Israel lobby. WHY????????? bemoaning the lack of action by Congress is ludicrous if there is no mention of THE LOBBY. Congress is owned by Israel , just ask Corey bush and Jamal Bowman. trackaipac.com
thank you SO MUCH again, chris hedges, for your relentless and fact-based reporting, and to katherine franke for your frankness, and for fearlessly facing the machine that forces people into CONsent by all and any means necessary.
you reminded us of the fact that they will come for us, once they'll have locked away and/or other[un]wise silenced all the challengers of the autocracy of insatiable [white male plus a few female] oligarchs before us.
i draw much inspiration and courage from your words and your work bc decisions made in my EU country - which hosts the largest US airbase in europe - look increasingly worthy of a democKracy. those in charge have started making a mockery of ideals their predecessors upheld. free speech and freedom of information are being sacrificed.
huge amounts of our hard-earned tax money are gobbled up by the war machine. our f.lawmakers even intend to change our constitution to accommodate related expenses - calling them 'special assets' bc 'billions in debt' sounds too true to what such expenses really are.
This is, purportedly, the (ex-Israeli intelligence operator) who is a dean at Columbia Univ. that "fingered" Columbia student Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil--
We no longer have a democracy. The fascist coup continues and is moving fast (days? Hours?) to further cement the fascist, oligarchic, authoritarian (failed) state. In Fuhrer Cheeto's parlance...a "shit hole" country....run by criminal syndicates: grotesque, deformed, recreationally cruel, sociopaths...I clearly now see that I am LIVING with pure EVIL. My life is bookended by madness: My Dad, uncles, and millions of Americans helped defeat the Nazi regime and PREVAILED. Now nearer to life's end, ...living in a nazi fascist state. How f****** and demented is that....my heart breaks, weeps, when I visit a national cemetery and behold the grave markers before me. Sickened. That this fascist regime is...what? evil? sociopathic? No words anymore....(but I did come up with ASSWIPE....because pond scum is beneficial and knows its place in nature.) They DEFILE the sacrifices made by The Great Generation before us. SHAMEFUL for this generation .....enabled by maggots and sycophants...to spit on the graves of ALL generations who have made contributions to OUR rights, our lives....I will raise whatever hell I can while I'm still above ground...my life now devoted to RESISTANCE. Hit them in the ONLY place they care about....$$$$$$. Brethren and sistren (RIP Molly Ivins): wo/man the barricades! pitchforks (CARDBOARD for you maggot nutters) and voo dolls in hand. And we need to have FUN doing this....because why not? (Emma Goldman said something about she won't join the revolution if she can't dance.)
The professor stated, basically, (layperson interpretation) that the "fox is guarding the chickencoup").....so if Marshall's won't follow orders...the fascist coup is complete. If this is not the case...it would helpful to hear if there is another conclusion. Thanks...
In 1936 Karl Schroeder was arrested. He was one of the leading members of the KAPD, a small clandestine party on the left of the banned KPD. He was disappeared, tortured, condemned for treason to 4 years of prison he spent in the worst Lagers. After the war he wrote about his experience in "Die letzte Stazion". His remarkable insight was, that he should have resisted arrest by any means, risking death, because it has been the only moment he had the possibility to do so. That's what passed in my head looking at the arrest video.
i wrote in 2015, the day the leader rode the escalator down, Riefenstahl-like from his golden throne within trump tower: 'Middle America has found and accepted their demogogue - now the fourth empire will go the way of the third: burned-out, broken, and bankrupt.
One of the best interviews. It’s alarming in the speed of which this is all happening. I hope people wake up take to the streets before they all fear it’s coming for them and it will be too late! ⏰

Excellent interview

I wish that Die letzte Stazion was available in English translation. It doesn't appear to be.
