New Post 2/28/14: I posted the below on Facebook and beneath I add a comment: As a veteran war correspondent, Chris Hedges has survived ambushes in Central America, imprisonment in Sudan, and a beating by Saudi military police. He has seen children murdered for sport in Gaza and petty thugs elevated into war heroes in the Balkans. Hedges, who is also a former divinity student, has seen war at its worst and knows too well that to those who pass through it, war can be exhilarating and even addictive: “It gives us purpose, meaning, a reason for living.” Drawing on his own experience and on the literature of combat from Homer to Michael Herr, Hedges shows how war seduces not just those on the front lines but entire societies, corrupting politics, destroying culture, and perverting the most basic human desires. Mixing hard-nosed realism with profound moral and philosophical insight, War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning is a work of terrible power and redemptive clarity whose truths have never been more necessary. War Is a Force that Gives Us Meaning This the greatest book on why humans slaughter one another and wave flags and salute flags and damn those that don't.(And it won the Pulitzer Prize) I have dropped into a pariah because I see the earth as basically a place ruled by the insane -- I get attacked because I truly don't believe in this world. Now get this: this great man Chris Hedges gets many many thousands of Hate Messages from good righteous proud to be American types. And I say i am proud to stand by his side, and embrace him. add video SLUG - 'PROPAGANDA' Anarcho Punk music video and comment youtube.com LiesLiesLies WeAreBombardedAlways WithLiesLiesLies. iLikeThisGroup SLUG MeiAmAOrwellianSocialist Unfortunately It Has Never Existed!/ AllSystemsGetCorrupted Utopian Dreams are delusions( But there are always those that can make big money by huckstering those dreams. It is the carrot on the stick that keep the crowd chasing--why? Perhaps man can't exist without Utopian fantasies.. My motto has always been do good for its own sake, and not on basis it will be triumphant and change the overall nature of man. Just do it, because it is right. Orwell himself had no answer to the dilemma--but he believed in the attempt. And yes we live in a world of LiesLiesLies WeAreBombardedAlways WithLiesLiesLies. Yes All Systems Are Always Corrupted By The Power and Greed Infestors; There Is Nothing They Can't Exploit. Be It Socialim or Capitalism. America Democratic Capitalism is BS and to those in Europe that LOVE America, you don't live here--America sells democracy, but it really is but Corporatism/WallStreetism(Paul Hewitt one of their trusted EMPLOYEES). You can only do what you react to in situations--but they are constantly shifting--be true to your conscience and act accordingly. I do live in America, born and raised in U.S.A. P.S. I live in remote free thinking area, one of few in U.S.A. The town I live(Sedgwick Maine is 30 square miles with population of about 1,200--we have no traffic lights no police and many never lock their doors, and here I have learned, anarchy can only work in a place like this; but it has one ordering mechanism, it literally ostracizes those that can't be trusted: How? Refuse to do business with them be one effective method. There is no casting pearls to swine up in this area, at the edge of the world.
