Chris Hedges calls us to action, to create a new political movement to replace our corrupt government and obsolete economic institutions, building on what's begun by Occupy Wall Street. Talk at Church of All Souls in New York City February 7, 2012. Video by Joe Friendly. Apologies for occasional camera shaking, but the speaker's audio is extra fine as result of that tiny wireless AZDEN mic at Chris's lips that the church let me stick on with a tiny rubber band at the last moment before he was about to speak!
My own offering for a plan of action:
Here's a New York City citizen's effort to put in clear and simple terms a plan to achieve the fundamental changes we need to create a rational, moral order.
The People need to begin considering a peaceful revolution along these lines:
Whereas the US Government has become terminally corrupt with bribery ruling Washington, and in the service of the rich has turned against its people and in violation of treaties it has signed and in violation of international law has made war against and invaded so many countries, has shamed us before the world by engaging in torture, has taken steps like NDAA toward fascism, and undertaken to fool its people into rule by fear with false flag terror like 911, and our economic system is failing,
Therefore, the American people will ceremoniously withdraw their consent from the current government in Washington and instead give a new group of leaders their consent to conduct government after this group has begun a national discussion about how we create an actual democracy, a direct democracy in America to replace our sham democracy, with full citizen participation in discussing and deciding the issues before us, how to save the planet and promote planetary prosperity so humanity thrives, how to create a fair, just, wise, sustainable economic system, recognizing that commercialism/capitalism is a mentality so lacking in morality that it should no longer be the basis of our economic order, realizing we need to rescue our culture from commercialism that has degraded us, a preoccupation with appearances, a status system based on wealth and looks, and we face squarely the complicity of our commercial media in the corruption, how they have fooled us with lies and tricks, and as a whole people we begin to wake up to the monstrous US foreign policies: the sad and shameful truth about US foreign policy wrongdoing country by country. The US has been a Romanesque monster unto the world. We the people must alas wake up and be a positive force in the world, for a change!
