This is The Chris Hedges Report, columns and broadcasts about US foreign policy, economic realities, books, and civil liberties in American society, by Chris Hedges, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, bestselling author, and activist. My father, who was an army sergeant in North Africa in World War II, was active in the Vietnam anti-war movement, a decision that angered many in his Presbyterian congregation in the farm town in upstate New York where we lived. He was a vocal supporter of the civil rights movement at a time when, in rural white enclaves, Martin Luther King was one of the most hated men in America. Finally, he was an outspoken advocate for gay rights---his youngest brother, my uncle, was gay---which infuriated the Presbyterian Church that finally pushed him out.
I'm so glad you're here! As a resident New Yorker, when you announced your bid for office in NJ, I was so briefly excited to campaign for you then and am equally happy to support you now.
I'll will subscribe regardless of the model you choose, but would strongly request making as many posts as possible free to non-subscribers, limiting the paywall for more intimate reader contact. I'm sure your following will grow massively and would love to be able to share your work with as many people as I can.
So happy to support this inspiring commentary. I hope you present this audience with guidance for action we can take to effect the change you advocate. Bravo, Chris
Totally agreed with Dolgrin, subscribed in a New York minute! Thank you, Chris Hedges, for your work, especially for your unfiltered commentary. More than anyone else, your work is the top-of-the-food-chain. And oh, by the way, thank you for not supporting the Iraqi and Afghanistan invasions while standing up to The All-Mighty New York Times!
Chris is one of the biggest and effective voices for veganism, yet I’ve hardly seen him talk about it! But as Chris has pointed out, the ones crushing the animals are the same ones crushing everyone else and everywhere. Chris, if you ever do any kind of looking back episodes of little known activists, I hope you look up the life of human and animal activist Henry Spira. Henry had a long involvement with many of the causes you support and eventually saw protection of animals as the cause he ultimately had to devote his whole life to. One of the most outstanding things about him is he kept his ego out of his work. His tactics, borrowed from what he saw and assisted with in the civil rights movement in the 60’s, led to unprecedented achievements for the animal movement. Thanks for your valuable work, I’m trying to buy your books without using Amazon! When I get some of your books, they’ll be donated to all the public libraries. Please everyone, IF you can afford it, consider doing likewise!
I’m sorry you lost your show on RT Chris. I’m afraid the public won’t know how egregious and cynical this attack on the press and first amendment is for years to come, if ever.
Truly bizarre to be living in McCarthy era 3.0. People wonder why the left is always so weak.
Never hit subscribe so fast in my life. Thank you for finding a place to continue your work!

Thanks from Australia. More information is never enough and we are sorely lacking here.
Hello again, Chris! Happy to hear from you so soon after RT shut down.
Great to see you here Chris, welcome!
Worth every penny and more.
At last! A real “no brainer” decision.
Absolutely! Chris is one of the only voice of reason left out there. Subscribed in a flash!!
Thank you, Chris Hedges, for opening my eyes to many things in our country and in the world about which I was blind.
I’m sorry you lost your show on RT Chris. I’m afraid the public won’t know how egregious and cynical this attack on the press and first amendment is for years to come, if ever.

Thank you for not letting the censors shut you down. I look forward to hearing from you!
