Chris Hedges and OWS Solidarity

Recognize Chris Hedges

There is no need to belabor that my writings have had little in the way of dramatic impact across the left spectrum. I am no Chris Hedges. However, he is one to pay attention to. He has maturity, a divinity background, as well as being an accomplished journalist.

I was not aware of Chris Hedges until he came out against the Black Block during the international Occupy Wall Street protest. due to the Occupy doctrine of Diversity of Tactics, I found his stance to be a bit ungracious.


However, as you can tell from the in-bedded video, he is far from being a raging pacifist. And for that reason is worth serious attention. He currently resides on Twitter at .


Descent into the Abyss

In 2007, as the economy was collapsing into the abyss due to the fraudulent investment instruments backed, propagated, and traded by the Wall Street I wrote Wealth, Women, and War. As far as I could tell no one was talking about the obviously naked emperor at the time. It was during that time that I used the term Neo-Feudalism. It turned out, over time, that I am not the only one who saw this coming.

Essentially Occupy, in all its facets, was a cry of outrage against the Corporate State and all the feudalistic privilege of the ruling class around the world. A decade after the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, we became fed up with the ugliness of Corporate Capitalism. I added my documentation to the standing body of evidence point to the obscenity of the current era.

Here we are...

In 2014, the publishing rights to Wealth, Women, and War were returned to me by WordTechs Press. I can now release it to the general population in blog form. Under the Occupy Wall Street Principles of Solidarity's bullet point "Mak[e] technologies, knowledge, and culture open to all to freely access, create, modify, and distribute. (amendment passed by consensus 2/9/2012)," I can now make the full, unabridged, version free to the general population.


I will start with the blog posting from December 18, 2008 to set the stage.What you do with it, is up to you. The struggle continues.
