"When most Americans face the nightmare before us, when they realize the irreversible devastation unleashed on the ecosystem and the economic misery from which they cannot escape, violence will have a broad and terrifying appeal. Those of us who demand a return to the rule of law and remain steadfast to nonviolence will find ourselves cast aside—the useful idiots Lenin so despised." - Chris Hedges
Chris is one of the leading observers and thinking people in the USA today. Unfortunately many are really so uninformed and stupid that they really do not understand that the building (USA and the world) is on fire and most people are watching American Idol, NASCAR and Real housewives of whatever.
I just love all these guys who come out and so "oh no everythings terrible, the government needs to be overthrown and everyone has no money unless their a CEO and we are killing ourselves from the inside" well.....ok, I live in this country so....where is it? I have NEVER seen any of this rediculous made up tradgedy hes spouting. Dissapointed that Alyona isn't challenging him enough in this interview.
@Tehwugginator I volunteer time at a non-profit homeless shelter, so I basically sit around all day with my nose in my laptop. Go spend your parents money you little brat.
@EcologicalFighter Very good of you to change the subject and pull the "im volunteering so im a saint" card.
Also for your information, my parents did a great job with me and I know for a fact I am not spoiled, thank you for making a completely uninformed and incorrect statement, I expected no less from you. You don't need to be spoiled to have nice things, you just need to not be a moron who jumps to conclusions when they know nothing about someone, and know how to handle money.
@EcologicalFighter L2Economy, Alyona doesn't know anything about the economy and most reporters don't. the sooner you realize that the better. Getting annoyed with all these politicians and reporters trying to say they know how the economy works, without doing any research. To any good economist the solution is very obvious, but the uninformed and misinformed people are ruining it for everyone. Their vote still counts, regardless of how much they don't know about the subject.
I was already on ebay buying your book, but I changed my mind when I heard your crap about global warming. Sorry mate, not credible. Remember climategate? Carbon trading?! DUUUUHHH!!
@galishor Climategate LOL. Three independant groups investigated the shit out of this fake story and found no wrongdoing or misrepresented. Your a denialist in direct conflict with every scientific group that has looked at this matter. In otherword, you are wrong, wrong, wrong. I'm not going to defend carbon trading because yes, it is in fact stupid and useless. Also it's not global warming (not the 90s anymore mate) it's called climate change. You sir are not credible. D'uh
Complete ant utterly B.S. buddy! The north and south poles are melting like a popsicle in July! The atrocious weather the whole world has been having in this decade, hurricanes, tornadoes, extreme heat, and so frequent in occurence is bizzare, to say the least. Whatever your age is and how long you have noticed the drastic seasonal oddoties over the past few decades should leave you awestruck and perplexed. Google the history of the weather and find out.
...LOL.........."Look over here, over here" We're gonna go after the skanks, not the banks.".........LOL.. Poor Skanks NOT Banks. Poor Skanks NOT Banks !!!!! USA USA.....Hang dem Skank Witches High !!!!
@mphello i don't know what anthropogenic is (sounds sexy) but I think you meant anthropomorphic. Also, it's called climate change. Has been that way for years. And you want to be taken seriously.
@Demarcoa No. You are quite ignorant. It's called anthropogenic climate change (or global warming - both terms are used) in peer-reviewed climate journal. Go to skepticalscience (dot com). Learn.
@mphello alright fine, that was the correct term. You're right about the peer-reviewed stuff. Skepticalscience? mm, not so much. No peer-reviewed journal there. I've never heard a legitimate authority on the matter state to the contrary that AGW is real and serious. Do you have other sources? Cause you know I have plenty. You're still dumb as a post in my books.
@mphello oh god dammit. I'm sorry, after checking out skepticalscience, I have realised I have been an idiot. AGW is a new but legit term for me. But I misunderstood you as a, well, as you put it, a nutjob who should not be taken seriously. I thought you were being one of those goddam deniers and I'm sorry. Really, I've been an idiot. Climate change, cause by human intervention? Very real. I think you'd agree, and therefore I accidentally started this argument for NO FUCKING REASON. Doh
@mphello uh, no, I thought you were. I can see why you are confused. I'm not a denier. I understand climate change is a well research, empirically established theory. I understand how this was a conclusion reached after countless studies by thousands of scientists. I thought you were a denier, and thus the insults started being flung.
@Demarcoa I just realized now why you thought I was a denier. Because of the title "skepticalscience" of that website I mentioned. Yeah - no - it says on the front page "skeptical of climate skepticism".
That IS a problem of a LOT of the names of websites, especially with the climate-related ones: you cannot tell which side of an issue they're on - i.e. whether they use their title facetiously or not.
I simply stay away from all of them. e.g. I think there's a site called ....
@Demarcoa ... "realclimate" ...I don't even want to look at it.
Frankly, I usually just stick to telling people to go to the IPCC where they point to the peer-reviewed articles.
However, those articles are very hard. Skepticalscience (I don't remember how I stumbled upon it) organizes arguments in layers: simplest to most advanced - in a way easy for the layperson.
@mphello hey, no worries, I was pretty rude to begin with. I actually checked out the site and it does look pretty helpful. I'm glad you can see why I thought you were a denier, i just assumed from the title it was one of those many websites that throws out climate skepticism. It was only after I started reading some of their posts that I realised I made a mistake. Thanks for showing the site to me, though!
I 1000% disagree with Hedges over the only "solution" being civil disobedience. Putting yourself into the total power and control of prison guards is the complete OPPOSITE of what one wants to do.
There are only TWO views presented in ALL media: MSM advocates war to KEEP injustice, and "alternative" media like RT advocates NO war for ANY reason.
The ONLY solution is WAR AGAINST injustice: both intra and inter- national.
Blow up the Fed. Blow up the ruling class in Saudi Arabia. Blow up...
@mphello ... Bilderberg. Blow up prisons in North Korea and China. Blow up factory farms and laboratories and fur farms that torture animals by skinning them alive, etc.
In other words, GO TO WAR! If you CAN, get whatever government militaries you can to help you.
If you can't, then support those civilians who do. Kill and annihilate the opposing side.
If you don't like THAT, then do what Michael Ruppert says: disconnect from the oil-based world.
Tell you what, I'll take Chris Hedges level of consumption and he can be remitted to a "green" labor camp and everything will be fine. Don't tell me I have to sacrifice, because that sacrifice will come out of the chest of the victim of my choosing. This collectivist garbage is too much.
When will Americans wake from their mainstream media induced coma? When they open their eyes, they will not recognize the America they thought they knew. I've dared to question, searched for truth and spoke my mind. My eyes are wide open in a large part, due to RT.
@judoyodan, well, calling you mentally handicapped is praising you. In the department store of life, I would definitely find you in the toy section. And to say you are sorry, proves your mentality lol.
He is a liar, I watch American TV programmes, and the news, they don't promote Jesus Christ. And if you read the Holy Bible, it says, knowledge shall increase in the last days. Daniel 12:4 “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” The last days also means into the future.
Very Smart man thank you for the great interview Alyona, have I told you that I like your interviews? You killed that Gary Johnson interview last night, asking lots of tough questions you wouldn't hear asked on the "Mainstream" media. I agree with him on global warming, you are an idiot if you deny science but you are also an idiot if you think you can do anything about it except change your own life style. We are a nation of idiots, and until we can start a "Freedom Square" we are hopeless.
It's also a complete fallacy that bullshit is popular and therefor promoted by the media. RT is the fastest growing media outlet and 99% of what you cover is serious issues. People are sick of the bollocks and want real news, the mainstream is owned by corporations with the aim of blinding the public from their criminal behaviour. How fucking blatant does it need to be?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
It is often a characteristic of socialists where they all conclude that overthrowing the establishment is the only real solution. It's all communist/socialist BS. They proved they were not viable types of governance...stop trying to resell a failed idea. This guy is a hack. Al Gore is his hero....anyone following Gore (rub me here) should be examined for defects in their ability to critically think.
Everything is collapsing because you have bribed psychopaths guiding whats going on. If the retarded masses wake up and get in someone like ron paul who has been consistent for decades things can start to actually change. RT can help in this by continuing to highlight the truth while the equally bribed media continues the propaganda.
