That was very elucidating, and very welcome. True analysis, free from show business and fluff. I think we’re all ready to crawl under the bed and watch Marx Brothers movies eating hot fudge Sundaes.
Thank you Chris. Your experience as a journalist in so many war zones helps us all understand today’s Middle East. UK and French invaded Gaza and shot Palestinians ? Now I need to find out more….
A hour with Chris Hedges is more worthwhile than days with some other so-called pundits. Here is an article about an ICJ ruling on July 19, 2024 that declared Israel an apartheid state. Of course, Israeli and U.S. mainstream medias said nothing, even though both nations have a Justice on the Court.
"Experts hail ICJ declaration on illegality of Israel’s presence in the occupied Palestinian territory as 'historic' for Palestinians and international law"
Treating Biden, Harris, and Trump as though they have some emotional connection to destroying various countries is a mistake. The real force behind this desire to destroy are the oligarchs, whose wealth is deeply attached to their hope for destruction. Gaza is being destroyed, not by Biden, but by the wealthy US elite. Their investments comprise the US Empire. Their investments, reflected in their ownership of major banks and corporations, are threatened by China, Russia, etc. And the oligarch/donors have clearly demonstrated their willingness to kill hundreds of thousands of human beings to protect those interests. Politicians are disposable. The real players are absolutely protected and largely hidden. The best thing that the alternative press can do to protect and inform the People is to firmly attach these massive crimes like Gaza, the Ukraine War, the endemic poverty in the US, etc, etc. to the sociopathic parasites that are actually running this country and much of the world. Again: It’s not Biden, Harris, or Trump. It’s the super-wealthy. Their names, what they own, whom they have murdered.
There is a critical need to have Kamala Harris in the President's seat by today, even before the Election:
The critical problem is that Bye Bye Biden is a daft old man who the megalomaniac genocidal NUTANYAHU has been proven to able to manipulate many, many, many, times --- since the Zionist Jewish attack on the USS 'LIBERY' ship, off the Israeli shore with IDF Jet Fighters with machine gun and rocket fire several time, along with torpedo boats --- and despite the the FACT that the 'AMERICA FLAG' was clearly, and the IDF pilots radio conversation saying "FUCK HER AGAIN AND AGAIN", and despite the lying cover-up of gutless US President LBJ suppressing the news in 1967!
BTW, I have created a little song [based on the old film and show song movie, "Bye Bye Elvis", but which I expanded to as:
"Bye Bye Biden, the Empire's got you now
Bye Bye Biden you're a real COW-ward"
Fortunately, Julian Assange, You, Amy, and several other 'People in the Know', fully understand that both NUTANYAHU, TRUMP, and the fucking BILLIONAIRE BASTARD, MICHAEL FROMAN [who dastardly weaseled his lying, looting ass, and into control of the current President of the US Council on Foreign, along with dozens of Billionaire Bastards throughout the Wall Street Financial control of this nearly succeeding EMPIRE of the Forbes, et. al. "Project 2025"
If Bye Bye Joe isn't out of the way of Kamala, IMHO, a quite possible WW3 may be our last Christmas exploding present.
I'm not saying that Joe should 'pass quietly and soon', BUT, IMHO, The Wonderful Democratic American experiment in DEMOCRACY [and any further PROGRESSIVE MOVE TOWARD any real DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST evolution for "we the American People, and other citizens of our fragile, little PLANET ---- would be hopeless ---- simply because the fabulous multi-metaphorical 2021 film:
"Don't Look UP" ---- should have already shown people, with an IQ over 90 that NO FUCKING HUMANS are going to EVER find a supposed "Goldie-Locks Planet" in this whole SOLAR SYSTEM!!
Chris, you mention that people dragged in to proxy wars by the US - the Serbs, the Kurds, Iraqis, (Ukrainians soon) - is not the case that the US will drop Israel eventually once Iran has been sufficiently degraded.
I am in Appalachia, in Helene territory. I couldn't get your video to come up. Not because of weather but what seems like censorship. I was circuited to a Youtube ad and then to Democracy Now. How can I hear you?
Thank you for doing this Chris and your excellent posts. I appreciate your hard work!

With great respect,

Love the Q&As.
Hi Chris Hedges, You are one of the favorites in my home, my son and I usually watch your programs including your guest appearances in YouTube !
You help us stay Sane during these difficult times !

WTF-up FOLKS
Is your IQ below 90?????
This is already way worse than it has ever been (complete with a genocide) and it looks like it’s only going to get even worse.
☹️
Chris, you mention that people dragged in to proxy wars by the US - the Serbs, the Kurds, Iraqis, (Ukrainians soon) - is not the case that the US will drop Israel eventually once Iran has been sufficiently degraded.
Great episode Chris, you are so knowledgeable about the Middle East I could listen forever!
Check out onestate.love and let us know what you think. I believe this would be a great topic for discussion and worthy of a listen.
Can you post the content as an RSS feed audio podcast so we can add it to our podcast player?

That is sad. Why not talk to your service provider about the problem ?
