"You are much better off listening to the voices around you and reading books".

12. "all of the mercenaries we have used in the world are being turned against us here at home now"

That is a paraphrase of what he says in part 5 of the interview on YouTube, and he says this is an ancient pattern of collapsing empires.

14. Thank You for posting this interview, I would have missed it otherwise.

It is a wonderful introduction to Hedges, he is absolutely on target, he speaks from the heart and the soul.

" We have to re-configure our own lives" ( talks about why we need to stop supporting the corporations and their products)

15. He is so humble about who he is. He has an incredible resume and

probably knows more about all of this than most other people. I am so thrilled he took the time to be there today.

'To my mind, the people who are here, are the best'! As usual, he got that right. Those people are doing what we kept saying we wished someone would do. And I hope they get all the support they need to keep doing it.
