Lo sciopero climatico di
venerdì [20 set] degli studenti di tutto il mondo non avrà più impatto
di quanto lo hanno avuto le mobilitazioni di massa da parte delle donne dopo l'elezione di
Donald Trump o delle centinaia di migliaia di manifestanti che sono
scesi in strada contro la guerra in Iraq . Traduzione automatica

L’inetta e corrotta presidenza Trump ha dato involontariamente il colpo fatale all’Impero Americano con l’abbandono del dollaro come principale valuta di riserva del mondo.

Chris Hedges: LA CAMPAGNA PER STERMINARE I MUSULMANI
|
|
The Campaign to Exterminate Muslims
The Israeli army’s wanton slaughter
of unarmed Palestinians trapped behind the
security barriers in Gaza evokes little
outrage and condemnation within the United
States because we have been indoctrinated
into dehumanizing Muslims. Islam is
condemned as barbaric and equated with
terrorism. The resistance struggle against
foreign occupation, whether in Afghanistan,
Iraq or Gaza, sees Muslims demonized as the
enemy. Muslims are branded as irrational and
inclined to violence and terrorism by their
religious beliefs. We attack them not for
what they do but because we see them as
being different from us. We must eradicate
them to save ourselves. And thus we
perpetuate the very hatred and
counterviolence, or terrorism, that we fear.

Thought Police for the 21st Century
DETROIT—The abolition of
net neutrality
and the use of
algorithms
by Facebook, Google, YouTube and Twitter
to divert readers and viewers from
progressive, left-wing and anti-war
sites, along with demonizing as foreign
agents the journalists who expose the
crimes of corporate capitalism and
imperialism, have given the corporate
state the power to destroy freedom of
speech. Any state that accrues this kind
of power will use it. And for that
reason I traveled last week to Detroit
to join
David North,
the chairperson of the international
editorial board of the World Socialist
Web Site, in a
live-stream event
calling for the formation of a broad
front to block an escalating censorship
while we still have a voice.

Chris Hedges: THE END OF EMPIRE
|
|

The American empire
is coming to an end. The U.S. economy is being
drained by wars in the Middle East and vast
military expansion around the globe. It is
burdened by growing deficits, along with the
devastating effects of
deindustrialization
and global trade agreements. Our democracy has
been captured and destroyed by corporations that
steadily demand more tax cuts, more deregulation
and impunity from prosecution for massive acts
of financial fraud, all the while looting
trillions from the U.S. treasury in the form of
bailouts. The nation has lost the power and
respect needed to induce allies in Europe, Latin
America, Asia and Africa to do its bidding. Add
to this the mounting destruction caused by
climate change and you have a recipe for an
emerging dystopia. Overseeing this descent at
the highest levels of the federal and state
governments is a motley collection of imbeciles,
con artists, thieves, opportunists and
warmongering generals. And to be clear, I am
speaking about Democrats, too.

Chris Hedges: EATING OUR WAY TO DISEASE
|
|
In July 1976, the Select Committee on
Nutrition and Human Needs, chaired by Sen.
George McGovern, held hearings titled “Diet
Related to Killer Diseases.” The committee heard
from physicians, scientists and nutritionists on
the relationship between the American diet and
diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and
cancer. Six months later, the committee released
“The Dietary Goals for the United States,” which
quickly came to be known as the McGovern Report.
“Decrease consumption of meat,” the report urged
Americans. “Decrease consumption of butter fat
[dairy fat], eggs, and other high cholesterol
sources.”

Chris Hedges: REIGN OF IDIOTS

The idiots take over in the final days of
crumbling civilizations. Idiot generals wage
endless, unwinnable wars that bankrupt the
nation. Idiot economists call for reducing taxes
for the rich and cutting social service programs
for the poor, and project economic growth on the
basis of myth. Idiot industrialists poison the
water, the soil and the air, slash jobs and
depress wages. Idiot bankers gamble on
self-created financial bubbles and impose
crippling debt peonage on the citizens. Idiot
journalists and public intellectuals pretend
despotism is democracy. Idiot intelligence
operatives orchestrate the overthrow of foreign
governments to create lawless enclaves that give
rise to enraged fanatics. Idiot professors,
“experts” and “specialists” busy themselves with
unintelligible jargon and arcane theory that
buttresses the policies of the rulers. Idiot
entertainers and producers create lurid
spectacles of sex, gore and fantasy.
There
is a familiar checklist for extinction. We are
ticking off every item on it.
The idiots know only one word—“more.” They are
unencumbered by common sense. They hoard wealth
and resources until workers cannot make a living
and the infrastructure collapses. They live in
privileged compounds where they eat chocolate
cake and order missile strikes. They see the
state as a projection of their vanity. The
Roman, Mayan, French, Habsburg, Ottoman, Romanov,
Wilhelmine,
Pahlavi and
Soviet dynasties crumbled because the whims and
obsessions of ruling idiots were law.

Chris Hedges: THE FEUDING KLEPTOCRATS

By Chris Hedges
ICH
- Truth
Dig
The Trump kleptocrats are political
arsonists. They are carting cans of
gasoline into government agencies
and Congress to burn down any
structure or program that promotes
the common good and impedes
corporate profit.
They
ineptly have set themselves on fire
over Obamacare, but this misstep
will do little to halt the drive to,
as Stephen Bannon promises, carry
out the “deconstruction
of the administrative state.”
Donald Trump’s appointees are busy
diminishing or dismantling the
agencies they were named to lead and
the programs they are supposed to
administer. That is why they were
selected. Rex Tillerson at the State
Department, Steven Mnuchin at the
Treasury Department, Scott Pruitt at
the Environmental Protection Agency,
Rick Perry at the Department of
Energy, Tom Price at Health and
Human Services, Ben Carson at the
Department of Housing and Urban
Development and Betsy DeVos at the
Department of Education are eating
away the foundations of democratic
institutions like gigantic termites.
And there is no force inside
government that can stop them.

Chris Hedges: The Dance of Death

The ruling corporate elites no longer seek to
build. They seek to destroy. They are agents of
death. They crave the unimpeded power to cannibalize
the country and pollute and degrade the ecosystem to
feed an insatiable lust for wealth, power and
hedonism. Wars and military “virtues” are
celebrated. Intelligence, empathy and the common
good are banished. Culture is degraded to patriotic
kitsch. Education is designed only to instill
technical proficiency to serve the poisonous engine
of corporate capitalism. Historical amnesia shuts us
off from the past, the present and the future. Those
branded as unproductive or redundant are discarded
and left to struggle in poverty or locked away in
cages. State repression is indiscriminant and
brutal. And, presiding over the tawdry Grand Guignol
is a deranged ringmaster tweeting absurdities from
the White House.

Chris Hedges: THE AMERICAN EMPIRE: MURDER INC.
|

By Chris Hedges
truthdig.com
Terror, intimidation and violence are the glue that holds empire
together.
Aerial bombardment, drone and missile attacks, artillery and
mortar strikes, targeted assassinations, massacres, the detention of
tens of thousands, death squad killings, torture, wholesale
surveillance, extraordinary renditions, curfews, propaganda, a loss of
civil liberties and pliant political puppets are the grist of our wars
and proxy wars.
Countries we seek to dominate, from Indonesia and Guatemala to Iraq
and Afghanistan, are intimately familiar with these brutal mechanisms of
control. But the reality of empire rarely reaches the American public.
The few atrocities that come to light are dismissed as isolated
aberrations. The public is assured what has been uncovered will be
investigated and will not take place again. The goals of empire, we are
told by a subservient media and our ruling elites, are virtuous and
noble. And the vast killing machine grinds forward, feeding, as it has
always done, the swollen bank accounts of defense contractors and
corporations that exploit natural resources and cheap labor around the
globe.

Chris Hedges: CORPORATE CAPITALISM IS THE FOUNDATION OF POLICY BRUTALITY AND THE PRISON STATE

- Truthdig
Our national conversation on race and crime is based on a fiction. It is the
fiction that the organs of internal security, especially the judiciary and the
police, can be adjusted, modernized or professionalized to make possible a
post-racial America. We discuss issues of race while ignoring the economic,
bureaucratic and political systems of exploitation—all of it legal and built
into the ruling apparatus—that are the true engines of racism and white
supremacy. No discussion of race is possible without a discussion of capitalism
and class. And until that discussion takes place, despite all the proposed
reforms to the criminal justice system, the state will continue to murder and
imprison poor people of color with impunity.

Chris Hedges: CI FARANNO VIVERE COME A GAZA

DI CHRIS HEDGES
http://www.truthdig.com
Gaza è una finestra sulla distopia (1) che ci sta assalendo. La
disparità crescente, tra le élite del mondo e tutte le grandi miserabili
masse di umanità, riesce a sopravvivere avvolta da una spirale di
violenza. Molte regioni povere del mondo, che sono sprofondate nel
burrone dell’economia, stanno cominciando ad assomigliare a Gaza, dove
un milione e seicentomila palestinesi vivono nel più grande campo di
concentramento del pianeta.
Queste zone di martirio, piene di
gente pietosamente povera, intrappolata dentro squallide baraccopoli o
in villaggi fatti di fango, recintate con fibre elettroniche che
controllano con telecamere di sorveglianza e sorvolate da droni, con le
guardie di frontiera e le unità militari che le circondano e sparano per
uccidere. Queste zone di distopia da incubo si estendono
dall'Africa sub-sahariana , al Pakistan e alla Cina. Sono luoghi in cui
si compiono omicidi mirati, dove dei brutali attacchi militari vengono
sferrati contro popoli che non hanno più nessuna difesa, che non hanno
un esercito, una marina o una forza aerea. Tutti i loro tentativi di
resistenza, per quanto inefficaci, vanno sempre incontro ad un massacro
indiscriminato, uno scempio proprio della moderna guerra industriale.
