Why have we not heard more about this? This guy needs out support for his willingness to stand up for the rest of us on NDAA.

  He's the only one who makes sense on these types of issues, but his social philosophy still scares me...but its a long time till November...who knows maybe we'll all be in jail and won't be able to vote anyway...:)

  BS! Drones are not keeping citizens safe, instead it is used to control the citizens. I agree US is a Home Land Security complex. What happen to my America?

  You bet this is BS, MFT and I totally agree with what you wrote. It's all about controlling the people. That's why I had to post this video and you're welcome.

- Excellent! This should be seen by everybody! Hedges spells out exactly what this NDAA is really all about, the domectic use of the military to quash up risings of American citizens against the corporate monied Elite. In essence, suppllying corporate America with your own private army. They will at some point start killing and/or jailing any one dissenting against the the powers that be. Here's more video about NDAA.

  the deck is stacked from the courts to what we believe we must do to survive in our everyday life...if we play by their rules we will most likely fail. Our hopes lie in seeing the walls for what they are and saying no more...no more hate, no more judgement, no more fear, no more mortgage and other needs that become slavery for life, no more costs of energy or education or healthcare because we are told these are industries and not needs, let alone rights, no more their way...it's time for our way

- I don't know how many of you have read Chris' book "War Is A Force That Give's Us Meaning". Astounding. One of the best books I've ever read. The best one specifically on the realities of war. Chris Hedges has more courage than every politician on Capitol(al) Hill combined. Thank you Chris

- I like Chris a MAN of honor. Chris needed to this public because of His dangerous past that could, you never know, POP up and boom there goes Chris in a black hole, so by suing Obama He makes it public, less chance for Black Bag OPS: Self preservation + get people to realize the importance of this NAZI TACTIC NDAA BILL which ushers in Sopa, and now we are all on a technical leash. Thank You Chris Hedges, I "bow to thee", in respect, admiration. You are in my prayers and Bless you Chris.
