The Real News is the awesomest for bringing attention to this!!!! I love you all, and Chris Hedges, Mint press, and Code pink (when they aren't pink washing Israel) You all are modern day heroes. peaces
In 2010, the 500 largest companies in the United States, otherwise known as The Fortune 500, generated $10.7 trillion in sales, reaped a whopping $702 billion in profits, and employed 24.9 million people around the world. UNFORTUNATELY THESE FACTS DO NOT TELL THE FULL STORY - LOW WAGES FOR THE 24.9 MILLION AND EVERYTHING FOR THE 0.1%
Anyone NOT open up a new tab around 19:45? Lol, brilliant. Good insight, especially clear points about why controlling intellectual property has so much weight behind it. So obvious on one hand but valuable precisely because of this plus the lack of it being articulated
When I listen to his call, his cry for Yemen I now recall how the Senator from Vermont gave up the country in his resolution to the apartheid state of Israel plus leaving an out for the U.S. Dept. Of War to go in with the call of "look, Al Qaida!" Sad that. BDS ISRAEL.
When Vijay Prashad speaks on the Bernie Sanders movement (starting about 4:30) as being not quite like the "Jackson movement which picked up from extant social movements, grassroots organizations and built a rainbow from there", which "Jackson" is he talking about?
Lebanese army got a participation medal in 2006. It should be noted though, nobody will sell them any decent weapons out of fear of the Israelis, Americans and others. It is a major reason why Hezbolla is such a threat as the army isn't strong enough to protect their land, and Iran stepped in to fill the gap and gain influence. Chances are, that had the Americans help build up the Lebanese army early on, Hezbolla wouldn't exist
I hear a lot about foreign policy of the 99% in terms of domination, what role does exploitation play in the calculations of he 1% and 99% respectively

BDS ISRAEL.
”Saudi Arabia (in many ways) is another Israel” → especially regarding the years long war on Yemen.

Thank you for the link.
Don't think he heard about the enormous Desert Thunder military exercise. Seems like a big gap in the "glimmer of hope" part of this talk.
