Journalist-prophet-activist CHRIS HEDGES is in fine form in this speech from late 2018. 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. Thanks again to Wilton.
