Chris Hedges Predatory Capitalism

Washington DC — (Scheerpost) — America is a stratocracy, a form of government dominated by the military. It is axiomatic among the two ruling parties that there must be constant preparation for war.

Washington DC — (Scheerpost) — We are not here to debate the moral squalor that defines the life of the hedge fund billionaire and chair of the seminary’s trustee board, Michael Fisch.

Washington DC -- (Scheerpost) -- There are many ways for a state to project power and weaken adversaries, but proxy wars are one of the most cynical.

Chris Hedges: Lynching the Deplorables

The criminal investigation undertaken by the federal government against hundreds of participants in the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol is polarizing the country and shredding civil liberties.   There is little that unites me with those who occupied the Capitol building on Jan. 6.

Chris Hedges: Ukraine: The War That Went Wrong

NATO support for the war in Ukraine, designed to degrade the Russian military and drive Vladimir Putin from power, is not going according to plan. The new sophisticated military hardware won’t help.

PRINCETON, NEW JERSEY (Scheerpost) — Empires in terminal decline leap from one military fiasco to the next.
