War Correspondent Chris Hedges on OWShttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4wlvM-0Cxg"This One Could Take Them All Down" Writer Chris Hedges spent 20 years abroad as a war correspondent. He says he came back and discovered that "Corporations had carried out a coup d'etat in my country." He says: "I was with the leaders of the opposition movement in Leipzig in East Germany on the afternoon of November 9, 1989 and they said that 'perhaps within a year, there would be free passage back and forth across the Berlin Wall.' "In a few hours, the Berlin Wall didn't exist. "I don't think there's any danger of this movement becoming co-opted by MoveOn.org - which is a reprehensible organization - or the Democratic Party or anyone else - or the Teamsters. "The fact is, what you've (#OWS) done, which they've not done - is fight back. And because you've fought back, they've been exposed for who they are. That's why they're running to you and attempting to restore whatever shred of credibility they have left." "What happens is in all of these movements ... the foot soldiers of the elite -- the blue uniformed police, the mechanisms of control -- finally don't want to impede the movement and at that point the power elite is left defenseless ... the only thing I can say having been in the middle of similar movements is that this one is real, and this one could take them all down ... I can guarantee you that huge segments of those blue uniformed police sympathize with everything that you're doing." -- Pulitzer Prize winner Chris Hedges brings his 20 years of experience as a war correspondent, having covered movements and revolutions throughout the the world, to the discussion. ------------------------------------ 'I Am Not Moving: Occupy Wall Street'[watching HC is unbearable; vomit material]Dedicated to the People, Shot by the People, For the People Segments of speeches made by the US President and Secretary of State as they discuss present-day social unrest in the Middle East are edited with scenes of recent police brutality in Lower Manhattan, drawing a powerful observation about the hypocrisy and corruption of US foreign and domestic policy. please share with everyone.
