The entire statement (posted by Leen61 here) Chris Hedges read is a must read, here is one part that I would like to emphasis
"Goldman Sachs’ commodities index is the most heavily traded in the world. Goldman Sachs hoards rice, wheat, corn, sugar and livestock and jacks up commodity prices around the globe so that poor families can no longer afford basic staples and literally starve. Goldman Sachs is able to carry out its malfeasance at home and in global markets because it has former officials filtered throughout the government and lavishly funds compliant politicians—including Barack Obama, who received $1 million from employees at Goldman Sachs in 2008 when he ran for president. These politicians, in return, permit Goldman Sachs to ignore security laws that under a functioning judiciary system would see the firm indicted for felony fraud."
Sounds like a great Corporation doesn't it?

Yeah I know, since food prices have been going up at a ridiculous rate, yet the press never talks about it. I guess all these pundits don't eat food, except for O'Riley who seems to exist on loofahs. My grocery bill is getting ridiculous, and it's really affecting my budget. No vacation in the Bahama's with the Koch brothers this year.

Hedges is an eloquent voice for OWS, and has been since the first days of the occupation when he chatted with the first organizers on livestream.

Yes, Chris has been united with the 99% movement from the beginning. He's a good man. He was a driving force behind the October 5th DC rally and continues to be a strong voice of support for our 1st Amendment rights and justice.

His ability to present human rights in eloquent; elaborate but understandable language is second to none. His keen mind has been informed by plethora of experience on the front lines of human struggle and terror in many different places for around three decades.

Chris Hedges is a smart man. Even among wallstreet there is an elite of the elite, and that is the vampire squid: Goldman Sachs.
He has laser precision in pin-pointing the real power of American politics. Hopefully, more of OWS gets the message and protests outside Goldman Sachs 24/7
