What about all our Middle Eastern wars, and all part of a neocon agenda. Read a Clean Break by Richard Perle, and read the Project for a New American Century. The neocon agenda they said just needed a new Pearl Harbor to get it moving, and they got it when 9/11 came along.. Netanyahu in his book written in the 1990's forget the name, was pushing for the same agenda. He even gave a talk about how dangerous Iraq was, and even before we went into Afghanistan they decided we had to take out some seven countries and of course Iraq was on the list and Biden pushed that down the throats of his fellow democrats. Iran was on that list, but we didn't get to it, so now Israel is really trying hard to get us involved there. What is going on now is no more then a continuation of our 21st century Middle Eastern wars, planned decades ago. At the very least all the craziness and horror is provided a context.
I thought you did, but I wrote it just in case others weren't paying attention back then, lots weren't, and without it you feel, well it makes me feel so out of control and feel, god, what is going to happen next.
I totally agree with everyone who is suitably depressed at the turn of events. It is a realistic reaction. However, I urge one and all to remember the famous words of a Palestinian "we do not have the luxury of despair". So, let us join them in their incredible 'sumud' and battle on. It won't happen in my lifetime (about to turn 78) but all empires eventually crumble, as will the mighty US. The Zionist state is liely to go much sooner.
Chris Hedges, you shine a brilliant light in all the dark corners of US policy. Congress is owned by the Zionists. The State Department is a Zionist branch. The universities have been silenced. What now? What can we do other than watch? There must be something, sone way to rally the people of the US who oppose endless war and aggression. Or am I naive? Is this really who we are?
Chris. I just watched your talk on Moats and am totally crushed by
your view of any future for Gaza/West Bank. In my heart I know you
are right yet it’s horrible all the same.
The disgust I have for the US government and its UK puppets I
can’t state here. The Puppet is Biden
and his handlers Israel. And of course the Trump regime will be the
same. As Refaat Alareer said: “The problem with Gaza is that Gaza is
full of Gazans”.

Fran. Yes. I agree. I just didn’t want to take up more space to go into a history lesson.

Please include transcripts! I read you on public transportation where it’s awkward to play recordings. Plus transcripts are faster to absorb.
I am also much more comfortable reading, underlining, rereading, than listening to a report.
