Sometimes I wonder if people like Zelensky and Biden aren't hostages to the the actual devil.
Only demonic energy could animate such an old man to "lead" a such a country as the US; to wake up, day after day, and put on a suit and tie over a desiccated frame, and stand there muttering in confusion, looking like the crypt keeper while selling out the world's masses.
And it seems that this must be the same energy that would bind a far younger man to take the world stage and encourage the sacrifice and ruination of his whole nation, to risk the life and innocence of every 16 year old boy, to generate photogenic dead children, indeed to vociferously advocate starting a nuclear war, in order to advance sinister and vague foreign imperial objectives.
I just don't believe a human being would do either of these things by choice or free will. Simple corruption, ideology or even personal ambition does not explain it. There is a video of Zelensky, clearly intoxicated, speaking into a camera. It seems that off to the side is a man holding a rifle. That could be interpreted in at least two ways.
After this week, despite many of my own voices telling me otherwise, I feel like humanity has crossed a threshold where consciousness and spirituality (Life itself) are concerned. I've had to acknowledge my own "demons" the past couple of days in order to survive this with a healthy understanding of humanity and how "sick" we can become. I consider the ugly side of this mess to be under a form of "possession". I think it's a perennial battle.
Any country which insists on masking, then vaxxing, its five year-old children for a virus which won't affect them has lost its humanity. The demons have taken over with our senile crypt keeper as their front man. fjb.
Hi Linh, I tried to read some Chris Hedges over the years and came away with the conclusion that although I believe his sentiments are sincere, they come from a safe, comfortable New England enclave" where the eightened can wring their hands as the world disintegrates. When the darkness reaches their doorstep and the hand wringing is sincere, I'll listen.
Hedges was fired from the New York Times for speaking out against the Iraq invasion, and though a Pulitzer winning journalist, an excellent writer and one of America's most visible intellectuals, he wasn't snapped up by any other American newspaper.
Russia Today then hired Hedges to host On Contact. (I was on this episode, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TD0qoet92sU ) Hedges must know he's been canceled by Jews, yet he won't talk about that, for his shrunken audience, most of whom are liberal or progressive, won't tolerate such an "anti-Semitic" accusation.
When I was still in Philly, a student group at UPenn invited Hedges to speak, but after a Jewish student group protested, the school administration outrageously stepped in to rescind the invitation.
Now, Hedges is going along with the mainstream Covid narrative, with its deadly "vaccine" agenda, but nearly all "progressives" are doing that, as well as the Jewish David Duke impersonator, Ron Unz. It is sad.
Hedges used to tweet about me favorably, which was surprising, because he had nothing to gain from it, but he finally stopped. I've become too much of a liability.
When we taped the On Contact episode in NYC, Hedges was super nice and very down to earth. I thought he would be taller, but he was as short as me! Done, I suggested we go down the street for a beer, but he said he had quit drinking long ago. Even more candidly, he said alcoholism was a problem in his family.
I truly appreciate this detailed background Linh. It helps me understand some of the forces that you and other "alt"writers face in order to maintain your integrity and independence. My father and sister are die hard progressives and they probably wouldn't even give Chris Hedges a chance, it's all NPR all the time. I love them unconditionally and having gone through over a decade of severe alcohol abuse, now know what they dealt with in the worst of my "psychosis." It's a tightrope.
I'd say nearly all of our leading intellectuals have self-censored to preserve or advance their career. To various degrees, they're all holding back, when not lying outright. That's why the country is in the shape it's in.
Yes, Hedges won't question 9/11. It's amazing that such a fine writer has seriously damaged his own reputation by dodging or just being wrong on the biggest issues. His Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt, though, will probably endure, even with the plagiarism controversy about the Camden chapter.
He could always get a Union job. Or is he too far above the common laborer? I despise the so-called intellectual vermin. Judas goats in the service of a demonic master
Hedges comes off with the assuredness of Tony Fauci, never wrong in his own mind, but often wrong in reality. His argument about the Russian quarrel with Ukraine is self-contradictory. On the one hand Hedges says the Russians have every right to feel threatened, while, in the same sentence, they are wrong to do anything about it. Obviously, Hedges is aware of the thousands of deaths of ethnic Russians in the Donbass ever since the 2014 Nuland-inspired neo-Nazi junta. Apparently, in Hedges' mind, Putin is a war criminal for (belatedly) trying to end the slaughter. I'm no military strategist, but I think Paul Craig Roberts is right about Putin. His near daily diatribes (published on TUR) chastising Putin's strategy are worth checking out.
BTW, Linh, loved your humorous riposte about the Ukrainian babushka taking out the Russian drone with her tomato jar. Instead of giving useless weapons to untrained civilian males who were forbidden from leaving the country, they should be armed with her tomatoes.
I think Webster's dictionary should have a picture of Lindsay Graham next to the word chickenshit.
Is there an Irish family that doesn't have alcoholism running through it ? My father died of alcoholism about 25 years ago, although my mother & sister will talk about it for 20 minutes and never once mention the word alcohol. Guess there's a river in Africa named after that syndrome.
Sorry to hear you and Hedges are kind of on the outs.
What's scary is the nuclear codes are in the hands of a man in the initial stages of dementia. Who knows who's pulling all the strings behind the scenes.
The POTUS is not a real thing. he doesn't control shit. Not since Bush the Dark. Neither Clinton had control nor Bush the Lesser. None since. We saw instances during Trump's and Obama before him where the Pres invested a lot in a statement and I do not think they lied in their statements, but then the opposite was done, clearly over their heads. That occurred in Syria for each of them for example. The Pentagon doesn't take their orders from the office of the inflatable president. If the inflatable clown ever tries to use his "button" it will turn out to be an idiot switch. Like we give the local dignitary to press to "Start the fireworks" Yes sure. We're going to give a switch to tonnes of fireworks, some big enough to shoot down aircraft to some twit in a suit. The switch typically has wire coming out of it which ends below the stage or just an antenna and we say it's radio controlled.
For all his bluster, Donald's boasts about his big button used to crack me up. I pictured Kim with his little button and Donald with his BIG RED idiot switch.

Thank you for another great article.

And he belives the official 911 story, if memory serves.

"enlightened can wring their hands..."
Such a wonderful distraction from all the dead vaccine injured

No doubt...I think George Carlin refers to them as the "Real Owners".
I understand there's only 5 days of food left in Kiev, hoping it's over soon.
