@Jaabyourface Who owns the the "state"? Who owns the government? It's the corporations! Politicians are the lap dogs of multi-national corporations that call the shots around the world. Especially the bankers. Did the politicians cause the 'economic crisis'? No! The banksters did. Corporations own and run everything, including the "state".

Thank you Mr. Hedges. There is no hope in the two headed beast of the democrats and republicans. Voting for the lesser of the two evils is only a joke on the voter.

The same story continues to play through history. Government becomes the tyrant.

Change will only occur outside of the system – their structure. Resistance will come at a high price as they place their tax paid pawns (police) between us and them. But what other choice do they give us? They do not represent us.

@rkymtnrdr88 Are you Occupying? Shocking that this video is over a year old isn't it?

@jazzbo66zz He sounds as if he's been talking with Bill McKibbens when he mentions going back to living local. I agree that it would be a sort of solution, the problem I have when I look at most environmentalist is they live in ivory towers where this sort of life is possible because culture,talent,and ideas are brought into the region. To suddenly localize everything what would this look like, would you restrict people's travel? Also, how will large urban environments look like? I think at th

@FlyWranglersTV wrote "corporations and the Government are one in the same."

Benito Mussolini wrote this:

"Fascism should more properly be called corporatism, since it is the ultimate merger of corporate and state power."

"reduce the influence of Government"? No. Reduce the influence of corporations on our anemic democracy, or else it is lost and we face dark totalitarian times ahead.

Um, dude.

It *IS* a corpse-oration, a de-facto receiver-ship where it's population was/is beguiled through shady con-tract to become both it's employees & economic bond slaves. A Debtor, a Surf, a Mug.

It is 'voluntary' to contract with UNITED STATES, it's ramifications not taught, a

'societal norm' of operating on assumption, acquiescence & non-compos mentis consent.

Amen Brother !!!

@jazzbo66zz Government is what we allow it. The form of government currently in the US does not represent many people. It does not represent me. While I have protested I have not - yet - be in violent confrontations.

I believe that with many much can be achieved.

How true it is, capitalism and democracy are antithetical to one another. The sentiment that the "government" is the oppressor misses where the point of control is situated altogether. We should be waging a struggle to get around the technology by which we are divided. Our most effective weapons will always be community and literacy, which explains the concerted effort being made to dispossess us of them. We have reason to be skeptical about our tools & who provides them.

[jazzbo66zz]

The market for technology can provide no alternative to reading writing or community except stupidity.

Hedges makes a critical point in this book concerning literacy. The vast majority of Americans are glued to a screen and mistakenly believe they are being informed, while the habit of reading has been lost for a generation. I would be surprised if anyone on this blog has read this book. Libraries in the US are disposing of books faster than a Fascist bonfire. Theodore Roszak believes most of what is being lost will never be recovered because history needs to be erased because we prefer lies.
