when it reaches the heights (or depths) that we have seen manifest today: fascism.

When a president (Bush) can put into position a former CEO of Goldman Sachs (Paulson) as Secretary of Treasury, it should come as no shock that bailing out the banks would soon come down the pike.

This type of conflict of interest has run rampant and has gone completely unpunished. Hedges is frighteningly right from a certain point of view: we may be incapable of stopping the elites and their oppressive stranglehold on society.
