Chris Hedges - War is a Force That Gives Us Meaning

This is is a local presentation, if you or anyone have time they might want to check out the channel, it has been a source of new ideas and news ignore by MSM for years.

I d read somewhere, not sure if it was from Hedges, that one purpose of war is to make money or grab resources.
But the primary purpose is to transform the society that is waging the war. It mobilizes, turns the focus of the people away from everything that proceeded it.

Are they waged with that as a result or as purpose?

The authors of PNAC said that Americans needed a defining moment like Pearl Harbor to unify the people as WW2. It certainly unified most of those who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, they are not all dissidents. For many this is a way of life that unifies their families and lifetimes. They do not care about our arguments.

And I know how unpopular Bush was until 911. MSM were full of stories on the corruption of his friends and the dirty dealing done out of the White House, and it seemed that he would be completely ineffective if not run out of office.

911 saved him and the GOP agenda, and they used the event in the most nihilistic ways possible to get profits funneled to their friends, destroy their enemies (which are not in the Middle East, but in the USA) and destroy the American economy. They wee stupid, they made no mistakes, they were not incompetent. That dog won't hunt when you track down the money.

I'm sure you've read Swanson's book, as well, I finally got a few copies and saved them with others. There is a lot that needs to be examined that is not pleasant but must be decided upon. I'm not even sure how much power any of us have. Hedges also gaven an excellent talk on Hope that was posted in MMV.

He is not giving up and neither should we. Or in the future, our grand children will look to us, unless they have been brain washed against us, and ask us why did we let this happen not only to the USA, but the world.
