Journalist-prophet-activist CHRIS HEDGES is in fine form in this new speech. With some new examples and new connections he explores the history and the bad effects of the corporate takeover of America.
The effects include the degradation of our culture, economy, politics, and freedom--and of the planet's ecosystem. As Hedges sees it, the only sane response is concerted nonviolent resistance
Hedges spoke in New York City on December 8, 2018. The audio--from a video of the speech by Joe Friendly--was reengineered by Wilton Vought, of the YouTube channel and blog, Other Voices, Other Choices (othervoicesotherchoices.blogspot.com). Thanks again to Wilton.
"New World Notes" is produced under the auspices (Latin for "average quality") of WWUH-FM, a community service of that beacon of light in darkest Connecticut, the University of Hartford.
Chris Hedges's most recent book is America: The Farewell Tour (2018).
