Chris Hedges isn’t so much a journalist but a prophet shunned by so-called polite society as it turns away from the simple truths of humanity.

Chris Hedges is a wise man speaking the truth and what a rare experience that is right now. Why is this so? How did we get to this? (Just rhetorical questions, we know why). Shame on the NPC, backed by weapons manufacturers; and how much did the Zionist lobby have to do with this?

Thank you Joel and Dave for doing this interview with Chris Hedges. It was both inspiring and despairing, prodding us into keeping on going and standing up for Palestinians and all those oppressed by imperialism.

Ive noticed other oddities occurring at NPC which are relevant. The speaker unashamedly spruiking the potential for AI data centres to be hosted in Australia, with the obvious questions "where will the water come from" and the even more obvious to me "would we get a UBI with these inevitable AI layoffs? " (If not then AI can fuck right off according to the First Dog on the Moon readership)

Are all of the NPC's sponsors publicly listed for transparency? Id like to know which techbros have their hooks in them, and to what degree.

An excellent report, and interview. Chris Hedges is a beacon in the darkness and his work has featured in China Heritage for years: https://chinaheritage.net/journal/death-wish-promises-made-promises-kept/
