I had the privaledge of hearing Cynthia speak in Northampton, Ma a few days ago. I couldn't find the video of the talk I heard but this talk is fairly similar to what she had to tell us.

Thanks for the post, Wendy. She's a powerful speaker.

What is this term she is using, "hegeman?"

I think perhaps the correct usage would be hegemonic but I guess if you wanted to characterize people that way you could call them hegemons.

This is far from her most powerful speech, do a youtube search of Cynthia McKinney confronts Donald Rumsfield to see her action in Congress.

Thanks, Wendy. From Wikipedia:

Hegemony (UK: /hɨˈgeməni/ (link is external); US: /ˈhedʒɨmoʊni/ (link is external), /həˈʤeməni/; Greek (link is external): ἡγεμονία hēgemonía, leadership, rule) is the indirect form of imperial (link is external) dominance (link is external) with which the hegemon (leader state) rules sub-ordinate states, by the implied means of power (link is external), rather than direct military force.[1] (link is external) In Ancient Greece (link is external) (8th c. BC – AD 6th c.), hegemony denoted the politico–military dominance of a city-state (link is external) upon other city-states.[2] (link is external) In the nineteenth century, hegemony (rule) denoted the predominance of one country upon others; from which derives hegemonism, the Great Power politics meant to establish hegemony.[3] (link is external) In twentieth-century political science (link is external), hegemony (dominance) is central to cultural hegemony (link is external), a philosophic and sociologic explanation of how, by the manipulation of the societal culture (value system), one social class (link is external) dominates the other social classes of a society, with a world view (link is external) justifying the status quo of bourgeois hegemony.

I love Cynthia McKinney! She was on the Alex Jones show a few months ago from Lybia. I never knew about her until then, but now I cant get enough from her! She really is a great and powerful voice!
