The Military-Industrial-Complex has grown into a monster, so influential and powerful that even its earliest critics likely never foresaw its evolution. So where will it go from here, and can anything stop it?!!!
William Hartung tackles this question, with the ever curious and insightful Chris Hedges. Listen, learn and shiver with the dark truths exposed by the basic connection of the dots that are all there to be seen.

Apologies for a OWS Forum-Post lacking in New Year optimism but faux festive cheer would be dishonest in the circumstances. Solidarity in The Struggle.

Optimism in today's state of the world is the domain of fools. There's little hope that enough of us will awaken before the total collapse of civilization. The survivors will relearn hunting and gathering. The Agrarian Culture is Original Sin.

I don't know why your honest comment is at -1, as I don't have any styinkle or twinkle
privileges here but the US/real nexus, is the main reason for "lack of optimism" in our
world at the moment & for a long time prior, imo & I can show my thinking on that tbh!
respice; adspice; prospice - et caveat!
