So what is it Yes, Christopher Hedges is a very interesting thinker. Glad you are reading him, even though one of his two main sources of income nowadays is from RT Media. Hedges at least goes way beyond the usual hack-jobs supplied by RT. I think RT tolerates him because his thesis centres on the collapse of the American Empire, which he sees as being in progress and headed in the coming decade or two for Armageddon. Hedges is a Presbyterian pastor by training (same as my background), and wears the robes of the ancient prophets of doom, like Jeremiah and Isaiah. I am a LOT more hopeful than Hedges So, today your stating your not a pastor? Must be all that subversive Neo Con training your immersed in stating such. Very disappointed to say the least that you or anyone would take liberties like this. I'm guessing Influencer Yasch wasn't paid for that article, so you didn't give it the full gusto. You better do better than that or your paydays will surely start to wane. Quick, we need wolf wolf to the rescue!!! Bark wolf,bark!!!!!!!
