Sponsored by The Nation Institute and The New School (http://www.newschool.edu), Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and acclaimed author Chris Hedges sits down for a one-to-one interview with public intellectual, academic and activist Cornel West.
Here are a couple of my favorite inspiring quotes. Enjoy!
Quotes from the amazing book Cosmic Journeys by Rosalind McKnight:
Every soul has its own special tune to play in the universal orchestra. p. 93
War is the manifestation of fear. Humans fear to be killed. Thus, they kill out of fear, striking first before the fear turns in upon itself. p. 223
From Revelations of an Elite Family Insider (2005)

Hi everyone,
I've been away for a while, but I just remembered this place and realized it may just be what I need right now.
I'm planning on leaving society mid November. What I mean by that is i am looking for a community to live in and be a part of that is not a part of society in any way for a minimum of six months.

We are here for a greater reason. When we choose to remember this, it is much easier to keep things in perspective. The more we remember the bigger picture, the easier it is to make choices in life which serve us and all around us.

Shoot me for recounting dreams because sometimes nothing seems less interesting than other peoples dreams!
I'll try to keep this short-hopefully no one will die of boredom.
This morning, I had the clearest and most elaborate dream in quite a while.
I was at a [dance] party or gathering at a big old house on the outskirts or edge of some city/town. It was me and a bunch of others enjoying one another's company, celebrating something.

There is a movie by Oliver Stone on Netflix now called Thintrace about powerful software that would have prevented 9/11 but was cancelled a month before. I hadn't heard about this before. It's chilling thinking about how it really was a conspiracy within the highest levels of our government to bring mass murder by terror attacks against us. I'm sure this movie won't be available for very long...

exceptional testifying by Hedges!!!! makes me appreciate him all the more...
I have listened to a lot of good people over the last 60 years and I like Hedges very much. My comment is this world is going backwards we have a lot less freedoms now than when I was a young man in the 50`s and 40% of working class people are a lot worse off now than then. What I am really saying is how long will the poor majority have to wear the chains of the capitalist corporations minority before they completly destroy this planet and humanity with it.
The answer is,,,,Until we realize, There are no chains!
