Chris Hedges: El enemigo interior

La industria de la guerra, un estado dentro de un estado, destripa a la nación, tropieza de un fiasco militar al siguiente, nos despoja de las libertades civiles y nos empuja hacia guerras suicidas con Rusia y China.

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. The war machine’s massive budgets are sacrosanct. Its billions of dollars in waste and fraud are ignored. Its military fiascos in Southeast Asia,

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. We are not here to denounce him for the personal fortune, reportedly worth at least $10 billion, a fortune he built preying on the poorest among us, those families

Washington DC — (Scheerpost) — Donald Trump — facing four government-run investigations, three criminal and one civil, targeting himself and his business — is not being targeted because of his crimes. Nearly every serious crime he is accused of carrying out has been committed by his political rivals. He is being targeted because he is deemed

Chris Hedges: La muerte de Ucrania por poderes

Ucrania es un peón para los militaristas que intentan degradar a Rusia y, en última instancia, a China en una búsqueda contraproducente para garantizar la hegemonía global de Estados Unidos. El final de esta guerra, como la mayoría de las guerras de poder, será feo.

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. Proxy wars devour the countries they purport to defend. They entice nations or insurgents to fight for geopolitical goals that are ultimately not in their interest. The war in Ukraine has little to do

Chris Hedges: Linchando a los Deplorables

La investigación criminal emprendida por el gobierno federal contra cientos de participantes en el asalto al Capitolio de los EE. UU. el 6 de enero está polarizando al país y destruyendo las libertades civiles. Hay poco que me una con los que ocuparon el edificio del Capitolio el 6 de enero. Su visión de Estados […]

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. Their vision for America, Christian nationalism, white

Chris Hedges: Ucrania: la guerra que salió mal

El apoyo de la OTAN a la guerra en Ucrania, diseñado para degradar a las fuerzas armadas rusas y expulsar a Vladimir Putin del poder, no va según lo planeado. El nuevo hardware militar sofisticado no ayudará.

PRINCETON, NEW JERSEY (Scheerpost) — Empires in terminal decline leap from one military fiasco to the next. The war in Ukraine, another bungled attempt to reassert U.S. global hegemony, fits this pattern. The danger is that the more dire things look, the more the U.S. will escalate the conflict, potentially provoking open confrontation with Russia.
