Chris Hedges praises rebels and calls out Calgary Alberta Canada as a dirty modern day mecca

   Chris Hedges is one of the leading opponents to the corporate state ad leading statesmen against oppression of peoples by an ever increasing police world-wide state. In his book "Wages of Rebellion" he talks about the leading rebels in history and those in modern times who have the courage to stand up against the modern corporate totalitarian rulers whose goal is displacement and lowering the conditions for most of the worlds population. Hedges talks about the increasing number of strikes in places such as china as a new conscious is taking root all over the world to the environmental degradation and other abuses done in labor and elsewhere in order to cut costs and keep money flowing to a few at the top. Chris hedges kicks ass and has exposed the brutality and harassment of journalists all over the world especially in autocratic places such as Putin's Russia. Hedges pretty much lays praise to the rebels throughout history who went against the grain and stood up for injustices they see much like the great Hedges does now with his interviews and books such as contentious book about the monstrous system people find themselves in todays corporate dominated world and state. hedges takes aim also at the population for allowing itself to be so easily swayed by the media and corporations and goes on to mention the 300 million firearms in this country and the promotion and acceptance of violence as normal everyday activity that can never be culturally curbed. There is this anti-whistle blower and anti-snitch mentality in this country that allows a criminal class to explode only giving further excuse to the expansion of the police state that will ruin all of our liberties in the long run.
   Hedges leaves some of his best for his attack on Canada extracting all available fossil fuels from the earth. he talks about the soullessness of Calgary, Alberta Canada and how much money obsessed and pathetic of a city it is very much like Houston. Calgary is one of the most pathetic cities whose only economic ability is to dig and spread toxic tar sands oil into the air and Hedges goes on to explain the greedy nature and dirty politics of residents in this city. The destruction of the planet is very good business in places such as Calgary whose business leaders and residents live for the moment never caring for consequences of their actions in the long run. Boom towns such as Houston and Calgary are very much known for this and as Hedges says they are sterile and soulless. hedges talks about a evangelical Christian preacher who is not in bed with big money and how this preacher and his followers actually resisted the environmental destroyers in a rare case of a Christian fundamentalist actually fighting the evil of the polluting corporate state. The chapter called Sublime Madness on Wiebo Ludwig should be required reading to all Christians who often ignore the pernicious position we have put the planet on and the wrath that god would have for mankind for allowing these abuses to take place in the name of profit for money and for it to be distributed unequally.
