Chris Hedges has been cancelled by The Real News Network
The veteran writer Chris Hedges took to social media to announce, "I was just informed by Max Alvarez, the Editor-in-Chief at The Real News, that they will no longer run my show. The reason for the cancellation, he said, is that my critiques of Biden, especially for the genocide in Gaza, jeopardise his nonprofit status."
So much for independent media. The global reach of Israeli octopus is truly shocking.

Joe Biden’s Parting Gift to America Will be Christian Fascism
The Democratic Party had one last chance to implement the kind of New Deal Reforms that could save us from another Trump presidency and Christian fascism. It failed.

Os quatro cavaleiros da III Guerra. Por Chris Hedges
#Biden sempre foi um ardente #militarista – ele estava clamando por uma #guerra com o Iraque cinco anos antes da invasão dos EUA. Ele construiu sua carreira política respondendo ao #asco da classe média branca pelos movimentos populares, incluindo os movimentos anti-guerra e pelos #direitos civis, que convulsionaram o país nas décadas de 1960 e 1970. É um #republicano #disfarçado de #democrata. Ele se juntou aos #segregacionistas do sul para se opor à entrada de estudantes #negros em escolas exclusivas para #brancos. Ele se opôs ao financiamento federal de abortos e apoiou uma #emenda constitucional que permite aos estados #restringir o #aborto. Ele atacou o presidente George H. W. #Bush em 1989 por ser demasiado #brando na “guerra às #drogas”. Ele foi um dos arquitetos do Projeto de #lei #criminal de 1994 e um uma série de outras leis draconianas que mais do que duplicaram a população carcerária dos EUA, militarizaram a #polícia e levaram à aprovação de leis sobre drogas que levaram as pessoas à #prisão #perpétua sem liberdade condicional. Ele apoiou o Acordo de Livre Comércio da América do Norte, a maior traição da classe operária desde a Lei Taft-Hartley de 1947 [que #restringiu a #atividade #sindical no país como uma reação de um Congresso conservador a uma onda de #greves após a Segunda Guerra Mundial]. Ele sempre foi um estridente #defensor de #Israel, e se gabava de ter obtido mais #arrecadação de fundos para o Comitê Americano de Assuntos Públicos de Israel ( #AIPAC ) do que qualquer outro senador.
Chris Hedges on the Genocide in Gaza
When those who are occupied refuse to submit, when they continue to resist, we drop all pretense of our “civilizing” mission and unleash, as in Gaza, an orgy of slaughter and destruction. We become drunk on violence. This violence makes us insane. We kill with reckless ferocity. We become the beasts we accuse the oppressed of being. We expose the lie of our vaunted moral superiority. We expose the fundamental truth about Western civilization — we are the most ruthless and efficient killers on the planet. This alone is why we dominate the “wretched of the earth.” It has nothing to do with democracy or freedom or liberty. These are rights we never intend to grant to the oppressed.
--- Chris Hedges, in his article Exterminate All the Brutes

[ELUCID] « Les Palestiniens sont massacrés par les bombes et la famine » - Chris Hedges
publié le 29/10/2023 Par Chris Hedges
Israël ne se contente pas de détruire Gaza grâce à des frappes aériennes, mais utilise l'arme de guerre la plus ancienne et la plus cruelle : la famine. Le message d'Israël à la population civile de Gaza est clair : « fuyez ou mourez ».

#Israel’s #Culture #of #Deceit
Israel, which always seeks to blame Palestinians for the atrocities it carries out, is the least trustworthy source about the bombing of the hospital in Gaza.
Israel was founded on lies. The lie that Palestinian land was largely unoccupied. The lie that 750,000 Palestinians fled their homes and villages during their ethnic cleansing by Zionist militias in 1948 because they were told to do so by Arab leaders. The lie that it was Arab armies that started the 1948 war that saw Israel seize 78 percent of historic Palestine. The lie that Israel faced annihilation in 1967, forcing it to invade and occupy the remaining 22 percent of Palestine, as well as land belonging to Egypt and Syria.
Israel is sustained by lies. The lie that Israel wants a just and equitable peace and will support a Palestinian state. The lie that Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East. The lie that Israel is an “outpost of Western civilization in a sea of barbarism.” The lie that Israel respects the rule of law and human rights.
Israel’s atrocities against the Palestinians are always greeted with lies. I heard them. I recorded them. I published them in my stories for The New York Times when I was the paper’s Middle East Bureau Chief.
I covered war for two decades, including seven years in the Middle East. ...
This is not a war. It is the obliteration of civilians trapped for 16 years in the world’s largest concentration camp."

Chris Hedges ~ The Crucifixion of Julian Assange
https://chrishedges.substack.com/p/the-crucifixion-of-julian-assange
'The powerful and the rich make war on the #prophet. They slander and insult the prophet. They question the prophet’s sanity and motives. They make it hard for the prophet to survive removing the prophet’s meager source of income. They punish and marginalize those who stand with the prophet. They silence the prophet’s voice, through #censorship, #imprisonment and often #murder. The list of martyred prophets is long: Socrates, Joan of Arc, Isaac Babel, Federico García Lorca, Miklós Radnóti, Irène Némirovsky, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr, Victor Jara, Ken Saro-Wiwa.

Chris Hedges on Class Solidarity (we have to build alliances with people with views that we find distasteful)
Economic justice is the key. King was always adamant about that. There would never be racial justice until there was economic justice. And he was killed of course in Memphis supporting the sanitation workers strike.
And and that means if you're going to go down in an amazon plant you're going to have to deal with people who support Trump.
[...]
We're gonna have to build alliances with people around economic justice who may not think like us, may not talk like us, indeed may embrace and espouse some views that we find distasteful.Any society that rules especially one as anti-democratic as ours understands that you have to keep class divided, you have to create divisions within the society, and if you create those divisions you can maintain power. But if there's a class consciousness, if classes come together against a ruling oligarchic elite then they're in big trouble.
There's a fascinating book, it's written in the 50s it's called the peculiar institution by the historian Kenneth Stamp on slavery. and he gets the manuals that slaveholders had in order to create divisions among the enslaved peoples. So you create people who work in the house, you create drivers where you are foreman in essence, who are you elevating, give them a little better shack, and those divisions become quite effective in maintaining control. And that's what's happened i mean that's what always happens.
[...]
We have to recover that class solidarity, we have to speak in the language of class warfare, that's it, and that means making alliances with people who are suffering economically but who hold political positions that that we find repugnant.
[...]
Once you start working in a united front like that that is a far more effective way to begin to break down the barriers of racism and the stereotypes of racism and everything else.
