🤙👏😄
Same here, VOTE FOR CONSCIENCE AND CHANGE JILL STEIN 2024
I'm voting for Jill Stein.
Shame on the RNN. I support Chris Hedges
It was the only reason why I was there.
Was very good to hear honourable MP George Galloway say that Chris Hedges will never be cancelled from the MOAT! As it should be for any respectable news organization. TRNN cancelled itself from credibility. Good-bye!
Chris is lying btw, as he has done many times before.
@@marimbadearco PROVE IT SKIPPER. PROVE IT.
@@marimbadearcoreally?? He is the ultimate teller of uncomfortable truths, and I suspect that you are aware of this.
I unsubscribed from the Real News Network.
Respect to Chris and George for speaking truth to power!
I unsubscribed as well.
Same
Yup!
Me too. I had been a subscriber since 2010, in the days of Paul Jay. What happened there?! It was an excellent channel in those early years
If I were you all I would be circumspect and pay close attention to RNN let's call them out if we see that they have degenerated from a radical producer of content to something else
I unsubscribed with RNN because of their decision to cancel Chris. I only joined him because of him.
Me too
Same.
Same here!
Same, thx for reminding me to do so.😊
Me, too!
They won’t stop us listening to Chris Hedges . Stay strong
You have my support Chris Hedges.
Just unsubscribed from RNN. Encourage everyone to do the same.
Did so myself.
A new subscription that supports Chris Hedges, like any respectable channel would, is Dangerous Ideas with Lee Camp, who have also interviewed all anti-war, pro-humanitarian Presidential candidates including Dr. Jill Stein, Dr. Cornel West and Claudia De La Cruz.
I will
Zionism was founded upon the beliefs of Judaism. The Israelis all refer to the Jewish narrative about god giving them land! Although there is zero evidence for a historical Israel nor even for Moses or Abraham. All the stories in Judaism are self aggrandizing and celebrations of murdering others! And the concepts of morality are copied from other sources particularly from Iranian myths and philosophies.
There will always be the shitlib audience.
Chris Hedges is excellent.

Hey, WE'RE not a disgrace, THEY ARE!!! We are the mostly decent people of the UK and US and let's not forget it.
Noxious is such a cool word.
From one 🇺🇸 citizen… tired of our endless wars and firmly believe in non violent protests!
The resistance against Western oligarchy should not end with Palestinian protests, nor even with the formation of the State of Palestine, it should continue until the Western governments are returned to the working people, and the billionaires are stripped of their power
💯👍
@@oneoflokis 👍
Exactly the only way to stop the many common things we are against is to stand as a united front. The ruling class loves hate n division and they fuel it. The only thing when they are exposed especially now by students denouncing war and Indiscriminate slaughter is the fear of a united front calling them out. Everyone plz stay safe.
Most of them live in USA, so you guys have to do it.
You mean returned to the Natives from who the lands were stolen?
Thank you for inviting Chris Hedges. Great respect to him! ❤✊🏻
Boycott RNN , cancel the gutless .
Chris is so concise and honest. Thanks Chris. Always reliable. Thanks George for hosting.
The discussion of the portrayal of the protesters to Middle America reminds of this quote. "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." - Malcolm X
It is exactly happening now. 😢
This was so apt, on the day that Israel decided to close down the Aljazeera office. The walls are indeed, closing in.
The Real News website is worth looking at, contradicts Chris’s claim here
"Those who can make you believe Absurdities, can make you Commit Atrocities "~ Voltaire.
@@marimbadearcoWhat are you? Nuts? You think they'll write: "Oh, yes, pressure was applied to RNN via sponsors of (Genocide) Joe so we had to fire Chris. Hope you understand and sympathise with out plight." OR... they'll package the cancelling of Chris in a pallatable way for the "mild moderates" whom King Jr. warned decades ago... because: Trump?
Advice: apply critical thinking apparatus...
All Empires fall, and the US Empire is almost at the 250 year mark which is the average age of any Empire. This is why so much tyranny seems to be invading our public spaces and dialogue because the ruling elites don't usually go quietly. They kick and scream until they people FINALLY rise up in solidarity and refuse to be bullied and pressured into submission.
If we arm ourselves with the truth, with information and with working class solidarity, we can stand strong and get through this. Know where to get our news: Chris Hedges, Abby Martin, Lee Camp, for example.
Know where to get our system analysis and system change strategies: Peter Joseph (The Zeitgeist films, The New Human Rights Movement), Michael Tellinger (One Small Town initiative), Kate Raworth (Doughnut Economics Action Labs), Richard Wolff (Democracy at Work), and more.
Hopefully 20 years from now, these young people will reject any honorary degree from these so-called universities.
How about y’all don’t require us to have degree, phd, and 5 year work experience just to be a dishwasher
Like Juan Gonzalez (Democracy Now!) who after protesting at Columbia 1968, they gave him his degree a few years ago. Fighting war has only become harder
Thanks, George Galloway for inviting Chris Hedges to speak for us.....I truely love to listening to him! Also admire him tremendously!

They haven't been jaded and disconnected from human empathy like so many adults have.
@@0zoneTherapyW0rks They don't have the pressures of things like family, mortgage, job, etc. That's when you find out who a person really is. It's easy to be very progressive or radical when you're young. Very few of us remain so as we age.
@jeffhoffman2174 good thing most people can't afford a house anymore I guess. We'll have more adult leftists as even the working class are bought off by an awful system.
Imagine the world we would have if Chris Hedges were President. So tired of the bombastic,the aggressive, the narcissistic and the liars who run for public office.
well, if you know Chris at all you'll find out that he lies a lot too unfortunately
@@marimbadearcodo tell, I have been following Chris a loooong time. Please enlighten us with your proof.
It looks like you guys don't get it: your system is rotten to the bone.
@@alexbalayants8490 This is probably a troll. I can't imagine Hedges lying; he's the most spiritual person I know of in the media.
Why did anyone think billionaires are a good idea?
Why indeed? 🙂
There shouldn't be any
at all
Always the mistake of Social Democrats who do not understand power structures.
It's the trillionares at the top we should be watching.
@@jamesadey8744 Some corporations indeed are.
Chris Hedges is a true intellectual within the continuously diminishing minority of genuine, honest, decent, and courageous Americans.
I unsubscribed to RNN, too. I have noticed that while they cancelled Chris they still have his previous programs so they can still make money off of him. Could we have a network with only intelligent people? I don't think we have to worry about giving the corrupt, the imbeciles, the liers, etc. equal time. They are getting more than "equal" time on other networks where the truth is either limited or ignored altogether.
Yes, they do!
Eleanor Goldfield talking with Lee Camp on a live show had a good idea: Get all those credible, honourable journalists together on a news platform, like Chris Hedges, Abby Martin, Aaron Mate, Caitlin Johnstone, Richard Medhurst, etc. They all basically have their own channels now, and maybe, in some sense, that is good because they can't all be cancelled quickly by a bunch of rich elites who pressure TH-cam to just cancel the channel without reason. But that still shouldn't stop these journalists from collectivizing in solidarity.
@@coolioso808 Good idea! 👍
There's a statement by Real News that they left access to all Chris's shows as he wanted it that way
We need to put it on servers outside the EU and North Am, so they are not subject to the recent political storms.
SEMPER FI to you Chris you have served our county honorably
Chris Hedges is one of the giants of truth telling journalism.
THANK YOU MR. HEDGES
macedonian
Well, except for his unwillingness to comment on a certain topic that consumed the world in 2020, that his hero Hannah Arendt warned us about. Those who refused to discuss it - especially public personalities like Hedges - contributed to the progression of the totalitarianism we are experiencing today.
Chris Hedge is always a voice for good. Don't worry about them cancelling you from your most recent show ;doing the right thing as you have is lonely and always stifled by those who fear equity. We stand with you as you stand with us in the defence of Palestine. Zionism will never be Judaism.
Serbs whose bombing he endorsed might differ with your imperial opinion.
@@aprescoup That statement seeks to be diversionary. The conflict between serbs and Muslims was terrible, but Palestinians have been subjected to disgraceful racism purely because they aren't European and don't have the western influence. Chris Hedge has used his platform to help highlight their plight. You or I could be experiencing the brutal and generational suffering of Palestinians. Separateness is always ugly, but this is a moment for the liberation of Israeli minds from the xenophobic scourge of Zionism and the freedom of Palestinians to the rights which should be afforded to all human beings. Zionism will never be Judaism.
@@aprescoup I could not find anywhere were he endorsed anything. I did find where he called the ethnic cleansing by Serbs a crime against humanity. Do you have proof?
@@antonyjh1234 "he called the ethnic cleansing by Serbs..." of course he did. Chomsky vehemently disagrees and lays the blame squarely at the feet of Clinton and NATO. Point being that Hedges bought into the self same propaganda that made near identical claims in its imperialist assault on Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria and Ukraine.
In fact *to this day* he asserts that Miloševićwas a brutal dictator and war criminal, while the ICC had, following a lengthy trial exonerated him of any guilt.
Milošević was indicted by the ICTY in 1999 on charges of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide committed during the Yugoslav Wars. The indictment accused Milošević of being responsible for the persecution and murder of thousands of people, including civilians, prisoners of war, and ethnic and religious minorities...
Hedges sold the criminal US governments propaganda regarding genocide and war crimes which today is denying any such crimes being perpetrated by Israel on Palestinians.
It could be argued that NATO's first step towards the Maidan and the current war on Russia playing out in Ukraine had its genesis in that imperialist attack on a European sovereign state.
And one more thing, regarding his good friend Cornel West; this from an 1993 interview with Charlie Rose:
Charlie Rose:
“Should the United States, in some call of justice and morality, and being on the side of all that is good say to the world: we will not stand by and allow this to happen"
Cornel West:
In Bosnia, yes, yes, should have done it a year ago
Charlie Rose:
With American military leading the way?
Cornel West:
That’s right. That’s exactly right.
One does not fight HITLER based on national interest. You don’t fight apartheid based on national interest. You fight it on the basis of 1) it being wrong 2) of it destabilizing the region leading toward wider conflict 3) allowing brutes and tyrants to get away with such gross dehumanization…such ugly behavior towards others on all three levels.
And if we had done this about 12 months ago, we could have done this simply with either airstrikes and making symbolic gestures…. At this point (1993) we’re talking about long term investment, we’re talking about American soldiers and so forth, so you’re actually right…200,000, 300,000, some say even half a million…
Charlie Rose:
Does it sound like Vietnam to you…?
All these self dealing narcissistic shysters are, all as one, tools of a sick, immoral, decadent, oligarchic, psychopathic US of A.
And, of course there is a reason that the antiwar activist, Marxist educator Will Millewr referred to the neoliberal charlatan Bernie Sanders as Bernie the bomber...

They have an insane amount of control. Boycott their food, their movies, their, banks, their media, their politicians and any other smidgen related to them. Forever.
Yes! Voting with your pocketbook is infinitely more important than voting at the polls, especially in this rigged and corrupt system.

Please George continue to have him on such a important voice
C.H. has been my president for 4 cycles. Can't stop me.
What TRUTH would wikileaks have revealed about the past few years?
Chris Hedges is a formidable journalist. Thank you for interviewing him.
In the last year, I’ve been listening to Chris Hedges, and thinking my God beacon of the light in the darkness. Very few truthful and intelligent truth out there in a sea of agendas and propaganda. I pray he lands somewhere so people can have hope for the truth!! .
Give Judge Andrew Napolitano a chance. He may be conservative but they talk almost no politics and his guests are from across the spectrum and ALL are anti-war, anti-Zionist and pro free speech.
Protect Mr. Hedges at all costs.

No. R um ble or similar. YT is complicit, is now state media.
Extremely Brave gentlemen, the highest respect.
Chris Hedges is an Angel if there be one
Chris should set up his own platform ASAP
Chris Hedges, you are an excellent human being, you should go solo you don’t need anyone, We are with you and we are listening to you. Thank you for your service Chris Hedges . Thank you MP George Galloway .
Chris Hedges a true American patriot🙏 🇺🇸 🇵🇸
Chris Hedges we love your knowledge, honesty and integrity and can't thank you enough for the work that you and George do.❤❤
Blinken has a office in isreal, he's a jew who was a member of the idf. 😂 he holds an isrealis passport
Check Biden cabinet like 90% same background lol
shame on him
Blinken is a through and through Zionist Jew but he never served in the IDF
These people should not be allowed to be a politician in the US. Their priority is not The American people, but rather wars for Israhell and working for Israhell, and should run for a seat in the Knesset instead
The entire Biden Admin is Zionist Jew
I heard about it this morning and went directly to RNN and canceled my subscription. I will subscribe and join wherever Chris ends up. He is right about money and corporations in the news. It's a corruption. Just like it is in politics. Politicians are not responsible to the people and journalists don't feel responsible to fairly report the news. Odd that this should happen now when just yesterday I was thinking that the news rot seems to be creeping into the independent platform.
Unsubscribe from them , time to go total independent Chris , thank you for your great work...
We have to get politically driven money out of government and journalism.
Just unsubscribed from RNN
100% support for George & Chris 👍👍👍
The world is totally fubar when people like Chris Hedges getting cancelled
Billionaires should not exist. No one with that kind of money can ever be purely altruistic and NOT be biased toward their own self interests. It is human nature. Truth tellers like Chris Hedges must not be silenced and their voices must be amplified. Thank you Mr. Galloway for having him on you show . Bye Bye RNN.

Isnt acting on behalf of another nation for financial gain, treason.
What will it take for governments to say ENOUGH is ENOUGH! Our collective humanity cries out for the innocent.
Government made of politicians and if there own interests are losing their position and money then you can not expect anything good out of them specially when it’s comes the state of genociders (israhell)
We the People NEED to do something. It’s up to us and in our hands only. There will be NO SAVIOR for us. We MUST do the work.

Mr CH ,you are on the right side of his history, always have. Bless you.
Been listening to Chris for awhile now. A fine journalist.
Owen Jones & Novara Media showing what hypocrites they are recently by telling people they are voting Labour or they now like Labour again or whatever - Sadiq Khan etc..
NO TO LABOUR, NO TO TORIES, NO TO GENOCIDE! - its pretty simple!
what? that's not whatthey're doing. owen jones just told people to vote for the labour candidate for london mayor - because there is no better alternative nor an upaide to withholding that vote, and there does appear to be real risk of a total nutter inning instead!
Owen Jones is not a hypocrite!He is one of the most outspoken journalists on Gaza and has been for many years!
I agree. I voted for neither party; opting instead for an independent. When I couldn't find one on the yellow paper, I deliberately spoilt the ballot. UK is becoming much like USA ;whichever party you elect,, Zionism wins. Zionism will never be Judaism.
Anyone voting for labour after this genocide is a HYPOCRITE plain and simple if they know what Labour have been complicit in - ie Genocide. If Sadiq Khan is as good as Owen Jones claims, he should leave Labour & join another party. Labour is a lost cause. It is the Tory Party 2. OWEN JONES IS A HYPOCRITE BECAUSE HE VOTED FOR LABOUR! PERIOD.
NO TO LABOUR, NO TO TORIES, NO TO GENOCIDE!
Tora party or labour for is real 2 cheeks of the same back side working for the same master!
